The young girl's back was well - proportioned, looking even more fair and delicate in the lamplight.
The vivid blood - red rose seemed to come to life, stretching out as if in the wind.
All of Shi Luohan's blood rushed to a certain part of his body. It was like boiling water, scorching his blood vessels.
"Hmm?"
Not getting a response for a long time, Yaoguang turned her head and just missed Shi Luohan's gaze.
It seemed to her that Shi Luohan was blushing?
It was just changing the dressing. What was there to be blushed about?
He had acted so normally last time.
Yaoguang guessed that it was still Zhou Yan's words that made him hesitate.
"If you don't want to..."
Before she could finish her words, Shi Luohan grabbed the medicine bottle and the gauze.
Yaoguang closed her mouth, looking docile and soft.
Seeing her like this, a phrase suddenly popped into Shi Luohan's mind.
Pretty and lovely.
Just a few days away from Liang Yuzhou, she no longer had that cold and aloof aura on her. Even her expressions had become much more vivid.
Liang Yuzhou really had a bad influence on the people around him!
Most of Yaoguang's wound had healed, and new flesh was growing on the scar.
Shi Luohan was quite familiar with it and quickly changed the dressing and wrapped new gauze.
"Thank you." Yaoguang gave him a charming smile.
She should have said this the first time.
Shi Luohan was dazzled by her bright smile.
His heart beat even faster.
He stared into her deep eyes. They were eyes with a completely different charm from those of Central Plains women. The color of her pupils was gray - blue, like a quiet deep pool, with a mysterious and deadly allure.
The sense of familiarity came over him again. Shi Luohan was sure that he had seen these eyes in a distant memory.
Yaoguang's face grew hot under his stare. Just as she was about to awkwardly avoid his gaze, Shi Luohan also noticed the subtle atmosphere.
"Um... there's a grain of rice on your lips."
That grain of rice really existed.
Zhou Yan took care of her too carelessly.
Yaoguang quickly touched the corner of her mouth, but in the wrong direction.
Shi Luohan stretched out his finger and removed the grain of rice.
His fingertip touched her red lips, feeling the softness.
Such an action was too ambiguous...
Both of them held their breath involuntarily. Neither dared to speak, as if opening their mouths would break the atmosphere.
The man's handsome face flickered with the light of the candle. This was the first time Yaoguang really looked at Shi Luohan.
He didn't seem that annoying after all.
His eyebrows were like ink paintings, and his facial features were grand and open, with a natural air of righteousness.
Moreover, he didn't have the gloomy and cold air of a master. His temperament was warm, making people can't help but get closer.
Yaoguang's heart was beating so fast.
She remembered the night she escaped from Pingsha Pass. She was saved by a kind - hearted man.
In a daze, she only remembered the man's eyes, which were so similar to Shi Luohan's.
Both of them shone with tiny glimmers.
She couldn't help but move closer to confirm if these were the eyes in her memory.
Slowly, their noses touched, gently rubbing against each other.
An alarm went off in Shi Luohan's mind. He didn't know what was wrong with Yaoguang today. His consciousness told him to dodge.
But his body didn't obey his consciousness.
The delicate fragrance of the young girl's breath brushed across his cheek.
Her red lips were so close.
Shi Luohan seemed to be possessed. He lowered his head and moved closer...
"What are you two doing!?"
The door was suddenly pushed open. Zhou Yan stood at the door, shouting in astonishment.
They were disheveled and looked dazed. They were almost kissing!
He knew there was something going on between them!
This guy Shi Luohan didn't know what kind of spell he had cast on Yaoguang. This girl, who only had revenge on her mind, was actually bewitched by him!
Although Yaoguang wasn't his real sister, they had been together for more than three years. Zhou Yan felt like his family's good cabbage had been eaten by a pig!
He rushed forward and punched Shi Luohan in the face.
Shi Luohan didn't manage to dodge.
"Zhou Yan, it was me who seduced him!" Yaoguang quickly gathered her clothes and grabbed Zhou Yan's wrist.
Shi Luohan woke up from his dream like a start and fled in a hurry.
Zhou Yan gritted his teeth in anger.
"Yaoguang, who told you to ruin yourself like this? Even if it's for the master to win back his wife, you shouldn't sacrifice yourself! How stupid are you!"
Yaoguang was stunned for a moment and realized that Zhou Yan had completely misunderstood.
"I didn't seduce him for the sake of the mistress."
She said frankly, "I just think he's good - looking and has a good personality."
This time it was Zhou Yan's turn to be stunned.
"Do you know you're praising the person the master hates the most?"
"Can you keep it a secret for me?"
Zhou Yan nodded helplessly, "Fine. Who asked you to be the little princess!"
...
Song Wanchu hadn't seen Shi Luohan for several days in a row.
It was quite strange. Shi Luohan used to visit her courtyard almost three times a day, caring about her in every detail.
No matter how busy he was, he would come at least once a day.
Song Wanchu had thought carefully about what Old Lady Chu said for a long time.
She wanted to have an open - hearted talk with her elder brother.
She even went to Shi Luohan's courtyard and asked the servant to pass a message to her elder brother.
But her elder brother still didn't come.
It was as if he was deliberately avoiding her.
Song Wanchu didn't know if she was overthinking.
After breakfast, she accompanied Old Lady Chu in playing chess for entertainment.
The head maid of Chunhui Courtyard came to report, "Old Lady, the master said that tomorrow is the day when Taoist Priest Qingzhou comes to perform a ritual again. This time, a peace - blessing ritual will be held in the mistress's courtyard to bless the mistress to safely give birth to a legitimate son. The master sent this servant to ask for your opinion, Old Lady."
Old Lady Chu waved her hand, indicating that she got it.
As soon as the maid left, she looked at Song Wanchu with a smile in her eyes.
"Wanchu, do you think we should let him come?"
Song Wanchu felt embarrassed, "This is a major matter for Uncle and Aunt. As a junior, I don't dare to make decisions for them."
Old Lady Chu leisurely placed a black piece on the chessboard, "Taoist Priest Qingzhou's coming is not really for the ritual. Of course, it depends on whether you give him this chance or not."
The usually serious old lady was actually teasing her.
For her, it would be best not to see him and not to think about him. Only in this way could she avoid facing him.
One more step might lead to falling into the abyss again.
Old Lady Chu just smiled without saying a word.
She called the maid back in again, "Go and tell the master and the mistress to let Taoist Priest Qingzhou come as scheduled."
...
Yue Chenkong had been in a coma for several days and finally woke up.
He moved his hand, but only three fingers on his right hand could move.
His lower body hurt so much that he didn't even dare to breathe too hard.
Old Lady Yue hadn't closed her eyes for several days and nights. She was guarding by her son's bedside.
With tears streaming down her old face, she grabbed Yue Chenkong's hand, her voice hoarse and venomous, "Chenkong, quickly tell mother who did this to you! Mother will turn Yunzhou upside down if necessary. I will find that murderer and cut him into pieces!"
Yue Chenkong suddenly trembled in fear.
"It's him, mother. It's Liang Yuzhou! He's come to Yunzhou. He chased Song Wanchu here. He said that anyone who dared to touch his woman would be made to live a life worse than death. Mother, I'm finished. He's ruined me!"
This nine - foot - tall man cried like a child.
"Don't be afraid, my son. Liang Yuzhou is the archenemy of the Princess. The Princess's current downfall is all because of his scheming! Since he can't let go of Song Wanchu, I'll make sure he never leaves!"
"He's too powerful and too cunning, mother. We can't fight against him."
"If we can't fight against him, there are others who can."
Yue Chenkong stopped crying, "Who?"
Old Lady Yue smiled sinisterly, showing her white teeth.
"The Crown Prince has been inspecting the south of the Yangtze River this year. He'll be coming to Yunzhou soon. The Crown Prince is also a captive of Song Wanchu's charm."
