into the bosom

Chapter 17

"Why?" He Lianshu stared at him with a pair of black eyes, and after a while, he finally asked in a deep voice.

"What?" Xu Jiao focused on the cloth strip, not quite understanding what he meant.

"Why did you save me yesterday, and why do you bother to take care of me today?" He Lianshu asked bluntly the doubts in his heart.

Xu Jiao's hand paused almost imperceptibly, what else could it be for?Naturally, it's because you are like this, and it's also partly because of me. After all, it's a human life, and I can't just ignore it.And I have to rely on you to please you, I can't miss such a good opportunity.

"What else can it be for?" Xu Jiao showed two points of grievance on his face, looking at He Lianshu with a clear expression, "Don't you really understand my heart, Mr. Lang?"

"Speaking of which, Second Lady Xu and I have only known each other for a few days, and I remember clearly that that day Second Lady Xu was on the riverside with a clean hand, without showing any mercy..." He Lianshu's eyes were sharp, and his whole body was full of power. Weakened a little by physical discomfort.

"Why is Lang Jun still reckoning with old debts? Didn't I know Lang Jun very well at that time, and at that time Lang Jun..." Want to use me as a shield, why don't you allow me to struggle to the death?But these words were not easy to say, Xu Jiao waved his hand and said, "Oh! Anyway, it's all in the past, and it's not the same as the present."

"Really? At that time, I thought that Mrs. Xu had a clear distinction between love and hate, and she had a temperament of vengeance." He Lianshu's light tone slipped past his ears, but it made Xu Jiao's heart jump suddenly.

"That's why I find it strange that Er Niang Xu clearly saw through my despicableness yesterday, but she still saved me, and now...and taking care of me so attentively... Forgive me for being stupid, if I don't ask clearly, I'm ashamed of it, My heart is restless."

"The reason... I thought I had already explained it to Mr. Lang when I was in Baijiang County, but it turns out..." Xu Jiao lowered his face with a gloomy expression, "So Mr. Lang never believed it?"

Xu Jiao's small face was hanging halfway, without another word, but the sadness that couldn't be hidden on the face, the drooping eyelashes trembled slightly, casting a dark shadow under the eyes.

"I..." He Lianshu looked at her like this, and opened his mouth with a little hesitation.

"Forget it! Believe it or not, I can't just watch you have an accident." Xu Jiao interrupted him with a smile, but the smile was a bit far-fetched.

The corners of He Lianshu's mouth twitched, wanting to say something, but Xu Jiao had already turned his head away.Afterwards, she just changed the cloth towel for him in silence, taking good care of him as before, but she didn't say a word, the room fell silent for a while, until someone knocked on the door again.

It was Su Le who came back, and there was a doctor with him.

The doctor went up to see He Lianshu's wound, and Xu Jiao withdrew from the house.

When He Lianshu raised his eyes, he only saw her figure flashing out of the door, and his brows frowned slightly.

After the doctor finished the consultation and prescribed the medicine, he was sent out, and Xu Jiao never came back.

Instead, the shop waiter brought a bowl of porridge, and said with a smile, "The lady ordered this to be boiled, and said that Mr. Lang should use some porridge before taking medicine."

The shop waiter backed out, He Lianshu looked at the bowl of white porridge, and fell silent.

Su Le whistled, "Hey! Our second lady Xu is really understanding, gentle and considerate!"

He Lianshu looked at him coldly, "It seems that you haven't worked hard lately, and you can make your exits come to fruition. I haven't asked you to settle the account you made on your own just now!"

Su Le suddenly withered, made a gesture of begging for mercy, and retreated silently. When he stretched out his hand to close the door, he saw Helianshu reach out to take the bowl of porridge from the crack of the door. After hesitating for a moment, he picked up the spoon and took a bite. drank up.

Su Le was surprised and amused at the same time, come on!The thing I hated the most in the past, no one forced me to eat it myself?
Inside the door, He Lianshu ate two mouthfuls of the porridge in the bowl, then frowned, and put it on the low table——after staring at the bowl of porridge for a while, He picked up the bowl again and ate it spoonful by spoonful, but still had the same impression, it was really unpalatable.

Because of Helian Shu's illness, they stopped in this small town for two days.The porridge I drank for the first meal was a little better in the afternoon, and meat was added to the porridge.On the second day, breakfast was porridge, lunch was pork rib soup, and dinner was chicken soup.

"I said Ashu, don't look at it, drink it while it's hot, this is the wish of Mrs. Xu." Seeing that He Lianshu just frowned and squinted at the bowl of chicken soup, he didn't move for a while, and hurriedly said, "When you're sick, someone thinks about it every day. It's really enviable to arrange your meal properly!"

"I envy you for coming to drink! Besides, what is her intention? Didn't she make this soup? Didn't she just move her mouth? You are good, she will do whatever she says, and she even offered to help her pay for it, everyone It's all elbows turned outward." He Lianshu snorted and complained unceremoniously.

"If she is really the little lady you guessed, you still expect others to wash your hands and make soup for you? The things you bought with this money ended up in your own stomach, and you didn't benefit others. Why are you so fussy?" Son? As for letting me drink... Hehe, none of us are injured or sick, and even if we are, we are not you, who dares to take your treatment?" Su Le laughed, and the words in his words Ridicule permeates every word.

He Lianshu glanced at him coldly, but Su Le just laughed.

He Lianshu pulled the bowl of chicken soup over with anger, and asked in a deep voice, "What about her?"

Since she slipped out of the room yesterday, she hasn't appeared again.If it wasn't for these meals, he would have thought she would have slipped away while he was sick.

"Her? Who?" Su Le pretended not to know, until He Lianshu glanced at him coldly like a knife, and then he couldn't hold back his smile and said, "You're asking about Er Niang Xu? Er Mistress Xu said that she I'm afraid that coming to you will block your eyes, make you angry, and you won't be able to rest and recuperate, so she avoids you! However, I am a little curious, what happened between you two when Mrs. Xu took care of you in this room that day? What's the matter?" Su Le leaned forward, his eyes twinkling with gossip.

He Lianshu's answer was to raise his cold eyes and stare at him coldly, "Get lost!"

"Okay, I'll get out!" Su Le nodded, following the good advice, their family's A Shu is very angry due to his illness, he can't be provoked!When he walked to the door, Su Le reminded again, "But you can drink the chicken soup while it's hot! It's good for your health!" He Lianshu's response to the obvious laughter in the word "good health" was: He grabbed the soft pillow at hand and smashed it over.

Su Le hurried out of the door, closed the door, the soft pillow slammed on the door, and fell slowly to the ground.Su Le left in peace. Anyway, no matter how disgusted some people were, they would obediently drink up the bowl of chicken soup in the end, just like the previous two times.

As for him... it would be nice to drink kumiss if he can't eat delicious roast lamb!
