Chapter 33 Unfamiliar and Familiar

"Um... um..."

Waking up again in a daze, Bai Sanxiu was still in the darkness, her whole body shaking strangely and regularly.Immediately afterwards, there was a stabbing pain in her throat, which made her think that she was still hanging.

But not right.

Different from the damp and cold in the cellar, this darkness is so solid and warm, a touch completely unfamiliar to her.But amidst the strangeness, there was a smell that she was very familiar with.

Suddenly, the place she was in jerked, and she realized that she was in a carriage.

Wait, no, no!The point is—

She was leaning against a pair of chests, and the masculine aura and strength surrounded her, making her both relieved and flustered.

"Si... Si Zhi?" At this moment, she finally came to her senses and murmured.

"Are you awake?" The person holding her heard the sound and looked down, "Is there any discomfort?"

"No, no...cough!" She said loudly just now, the pain in her neck tightened again, she couldn't help but raised her hand to touch it, and accidentally touched a bandage, "Ouch!"

"Don't touch it." Although she was already awake, Li Quan didn't let go of her, but gently took her hand away, and said in a gentle voice, "Don't worry, it's nothing serious. The doctor has already given you the medicine , but it will take a few days for the strangle marks to disappear, so bear with it first."

"Hmm." Because he lowered his head when he explained, his deep voice seemed to be close to her ears, and she could even feel his warm breath brushing her hair.I don't know if he noticed it, but she was very sure that her face must have turned red.After all, after living for such a long time, this is the first time that he has been so close to a man, not to mention, this man is still Li Yan...

"Thank you Si, Si Zhi for saving me again."

She was so nervous that she almost bit her own tongue, and then a sigh came from above her head, a little angry, but more helpless.She heard him breathe in and breathe out again, as if he opened his mouth a few times, he had a lot to say.But in the end, he just "remonstrated" her in a low voice, still not very serious.

"Never take such a risk in the future."

"Ahem." She coughed twice again, this time half-truth. "Did you catch the secret?"

"Give it to the Jinwu Guard."

"I didn't expect Si Zhi to be so skilled even though he was a civil servant."

"Practiced for several years."

"Oh..." His words were still so concise, she couldn't think of anything else to say for a while, so she had no choice but to remain silent.But this silence made her senses more sensitive.In the night, the sound of horseshoes rattling and wheels rolling was very clear, but what was louder than the sound of the carriage was her thunderous heartbeat, which could not stop.But the male body she was leaning on, the heartbeat from the chest was still the same as usual, faithfully showing the calmness of the master, let alone having any unreasonable thoughts about her...

God, what was she thinking?
Bai Sanxiu slapped herself in her heart to wake herself up.In order to divert her attention, she simply concentrated on smelling the smell of medicine on her neck.But this concentration made her smell something strange.

It was true that there was a herbal smell coming from her neck, but the ointment was cool, and she didn't feel any persistent pain when she swallowed it, so why was there a tinge of blood in this medicinal smell?
Is it possible...

"Are you hurt?"

She raised her head abruptly and asked anxiously.But Li Quan didn't need to answer, she was already sure.After getting used to the darkness in the carriage, when she looked up, she saw the torn sleeve of his left arm and the blood stains on the fabric.Looking at the blood, her heart convulsed, and just about to say something, the driver outside the curtain spoke first.

"Master Li, we're here."
