Since ancient times, sand devils have conquered villains

After living for 17 years, Jiang Baiyan has experienced countless kinds of pain.

The stab wound is a stinging pain that penetrates into the flesh. The pain from the whip can seep into the bone marrow. The wind from the fist falls on the body, making it duller and duller.

He was accustomed to pain like this, but today, he felt frightened by such a gentle touch.

I want to escape, but I can't help but get closer.

Shi Dai hooked his knuckles, the skin was warm, soft and delicate, without using too much force.
Jiang Baiyan's back was stiff, stretching out a straight line, like a string that could break at any time.

Even when he was in a desperate situation, he never showed such emotion.

Shi Dai looked at him, then held her breath and lowered her gaze.

Jiang Baiyan has been alone for a long time in his life, and he probably has never been treated intimately by anyone, so he uses self-abuse to feel the so-called "pleasure".

Her original intention of doing this was very simple. Since Jiang Baiyan's cognition was abnormal, Shi Dai told him straightforwardly what ordinary comfort was.

but--
Shi Dai couldn't help but glanced at Jiang Baiyan again.

He seemed nervous.
Even the ears are red.

Due to blood loss, Jiang Baiyan's face had a sick look, and his lower jaw was thin and pale, like porcelain that would break when touched.
So the crimson at the tip of the ear became the only noticeable color.

It's a slightly ambiguous color.

Noticing her looking at her quietly, Jiang Baiyan raised his eyelashes.
Suddenly bumping into a pair of black jade-like peach blossom eyes, Shi Dai pretended to be calm and lowered her head.

"so."
She reached forward with her right hand and tried to hold the other person's entire palm: "It's a handshake."

His body is so cold.
The mermaids live underwater. Does this race have a very cold body temperature?
Jiang Baiyan responded "Yes".

Shi Dai's hand was much smaller than his, and the touch was wonderful, like soft, faint fire.
The flame seemed to be gone, but the heat came over and slowly melted away the coolness on the back of his hand.

Just like the first ray of sunshine in spring melts the winter snow, the snow water flows through the skin into the meridians, and finally falls on the apex of the heart.

Somewhat hot.
Jiang Baiyan restrained himself from making any more moves.

Shi Dai curiously asked: "Did Mr. Jiang shake hands with anyone in these years?"

Jiang Baiyan thought carefully.
If it was just the action of "holding the palm of your hand", he would have done it with others.
What followed immediately was the force of his five fingers, breaking the opponent's wrist or crushing the bones inch by inch.

He felt that Shi Dai would not like such an answer, so he whispered: "Never."

Sure enough, it hasn’t happened!
Shi Dai guessed more and more firmly that Jiang Baiyan had zero experience in necessary social interactions.
She estimated that Jiang Baiyan was holding his water-breaking sword [-]% of the time.

"Then remember it well."
Shi Dai poked the back of his hand with her finger: "This is my first handshake."

As she spoke, she looked at Jiang Baiyan's left hand.

He had practiced swordsmanship with his left hand, and there were rough calluses on the fingertips, and further down, there were several small bright red scars.

Shi Dai: "Is it left behind in Ghost Fighting the Wall?"

"Ah."
Jiang Baiyan: "Don't worry, Miss Shi. The sharks have shark beads to protect themselves, and minor injuries can be healed quickly."

Shark beads are different from shark tears and are the most important inner elixir in the shark body.
Shi Dai didn't answer and looked at him with a half-smile.

Silence is better than sound, and her meaning is obvious:
Just because you have the Shark Pearl, are you going to do this to yourself?

Jiang Baiyan kept silent obediently.

"Injury on the right hand."
Shi Dai did not forget this incident: "Can you show it to me?"

It's the "scratch" he made nonsense about.
After a few breaths of silence, Jiang Baiyan loosened the cloth wrapped around his palm.

Shi Dai took a breath of air.

When the two confronted each other, Jiang Baiyan admitted that these were not cat paw prints, but knife wounds.
The image she imagined through conditioned reflexes was a long, thin scar that was neither deep nor shallow——

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a bloody mess.
Jiang Baiyan peeled off the entire skin.

Shi Dai rarely stuttered: "You, why are you..."
Has he reached this level?

Jiang Baiyan blinked as his pupils reflected her expression.

There was no disgust or disgust as expected. When Shi Dai stared at the back of his hand, there were emotions in her eyes that were slightly unfamiliar to him.
There was shock, but also concern, almost pity.

Shi Dai opened her eyes wide: "Why did you scratch this place?"

She remembered that everything was as usual in the kitchen, and if she had anything to say, Jiang Baiyan approached Jin Niang.
It can't be because of this, right?

Shi Dai's thoughts were wandering, and after a moment, she got the answer.
Jiang Baiyan whispered: "There is that person's breath."

Six simple words caused her brain to shut down for a moment.
It's really because of this.
Shi Dai's eyebrows jumped.

breath?Is it referring to Jin Niang’s overly strong spice smell?The aroma couldn't be called unpleasant. Could it be that Jiang Baiyan simply hated being approached?

Subconsciously, Shi Dai looked at Jiang Baiyan's other hand that she had held.
This small gesture was very obvious and caused Jiang Baiyan to chuckle.

"It's ok."
He spoke with a sickly voice: "That's what Miss Shi said."

……oh.
Her ears seemed to be scratched secretly, and Shi Dai touched the tip of her nose: "Do you often do this?"

She has a straightforward and straightforward personality and doesn't like to hide things between the two and complicate a simple matter.
Now that she had a showdown with Jiang Baiyan, Shi Dai had no intention of being coy and evasive. She could just tell him face to face what she wanted to say and ask.

After all, having a mouth is not just for eating.

Jiang Baiyan said quietly: "Yes."

Shi Dai: "Because doing this will make you feel happy?"

She asked quite frankly.
Unexpectedly, it was this straightforwardness that made Jiang Baiyan no longer feel too embarrassed——

If Shi Dai comforted her with sympathy, or if she was frightened and hesitated, then he would be unable to respond.

Jiang Baiyan: "Yeah."

Shi Dai didn't say anything anymore, her eyes moved slightly, not knowing what she was thinking.

Jiang Baiyan closed his left palm, trying to leave something behind, but he only touched the fleeting cold wind.
The touch of Shi Dai's palm not long ago made him more greedy than the pain. After they separated, he was left with an empty feeling.
But he had no reason to ask for more.

Suddenly, the person in front of him spoke: "Mr. Jiang."

Jiang Baiyan raised his eyes.

Today, Shi Dai is wearing a painted wide-sleeved blouse and a goose-yellow flowered skirt. She is sitting at the table, looking like a vibrant spring flower.
Those almond-shaped eyes looked at him without scruples, and the smile was full of smiles, which was more eye-catching than the lake in Chang'an under the moon.

Shi Dai asked: "Besides shaking hands, do you want to try something else?"

It's hard to fathom her thoughts.
Jiang Baiyan looked at her intently for a long time, but finally did not refuse.

He saw Shi Dai Zhuangruo pursed her lower lip nervously.
Blinking again, the lingering fragrance of plum blossoms hit me.The fragrance of plum blossoms surged like a tide and enveloped him without any warning.
The breath that was supposed to be distant suddenly suddenly came closer at this moment and became a slender body——

Like a bird crashing into her arms, Shi Dai hugged him.

Accustomed to killing, Jiang Baiyan was able to avoid all surprise attacks in an instant, but this time he froze in place.

There was a chaotic buzzing in my ears, a chaotic sound that shook my eardrums.
After several breaths, he finally realized that the sound came from his heart.

Something soft covered the back, and then Shi Dai whispered: "Scared you?"

She couldn't see Jiang Baiyan's expression. If she looked up, she would be surprised——
For the first time, his face, which had always been calm, showed confusion and confusion.

Shi Dai said: "If you are sad, just give me a hug."

At that moment not long ago, Jiang Baiyan looked like a homeless puppy.
He probably feels embarrassed now. Based on Shi Dai's experience, at this time, a hug is more useful than thousands of comforts.

Not to mention that Jiang Baiyan didn't know what it felt like to be hugged.

She came forward with a bear hug, and after finishing her sentence, she patted Jiang Baiyan's back lightly with her palm.
The intensity of teasing the strings made the latter unable to stop trembling.

A strange numbness ran up his spine, and Jiang Baiyan curled his fingertips slightly.

He whispered: "Miss Shi."
Shi Dai: "Huh?"

His breath was filled with her breath, and Jiang Baiyan couldn't make a sound.

Shi Dai said: "Isn't this different from stabbing yourself with a knife?"

She has read relevant popular science before, claiming that hugging can help relieve stress and relieve emotions.
Shi Dai couldn't remember the hormones and hormones mentioned in that article. She instinctively thought that for now, a hug could really make people feel comfortable.

Jiang Baiyan's body was softer than expected, with a faint medicinal smell and the refreshing cold fragrance that she liked very much.
Even if it is Shi Dai, I feel that my heart is ironing.

nice to hug.
Maybe this is the warm fragrance of nephrite that is often written about in books?

She heard Jiang Baiyan respond in a low voice: "Yeah."

Seeing that he didn't resist, Shi Dai took advantage of the situation and asked, "Which one does Young Master Jiang prefer?"

My chest felt hot, as if it was filled with something, and it was bulging uncomfortably.
Jiang Baiyan barely had the strength to stand, so he leaned on her shoulder and closed his eyes slightly.

"Miss Shi."
He said: "It's different."

Shi Dai was stunned: "Why is it different?"

Pain is not the same as pleasure.
What Shi Dai gives is different from what others give.

If someone else came close to him, Jiang Baiyan would be disgusted just thinking about it.
Only Shi Dai, even if she pierced his chest with a sharp blade, Jiang Baiyan could still glimpse the secret joy from the unbearable burning pain.

These are all feelings caused by her.
Because of Shi Dai, he was willing to indulge in it.

When she didn't get an answer from him, Shi Dai moved her right hand, bent her knuckles as if urging, and lightly poked him in the back: "Mr. Jiang?"

She had made up her mind and wanted him to admit it and put the pain behind her.
Little did he know that this unintentional move made Jiang Baiyan gasp for breath.

His breath became more chaotic, and the tips of his ears turned red uncontrollably. He responded as if surrendering, with a rare embarrassment: "This kind of thing."

Like this one.

Shi Dai breathed a sigh of relief: "Right? A hug like this is much better than torturing yourself in pain."
She relaxed and her tone became brisk, like a bell in the night wind: "If you encounter something unhappy in the future, you can come to us. Me, dad, mom... everyone will comfort you."

Although Jiang Baiyan was accepted as a disciple by Shi Jingcheng and temporarily lived in Shi's mansion, in the final analysis, he deliberately kept a distance from everyone.

Shi Dai poked him again and said sternly: "Speak out what you like, what's sad, what's happy, what's boring, and don't keep it in your heart."

Jiang Baiyan didn't know whether he heard it or not. After a while, he replied "Yeah".

The stone in my heart has temporarily fallen to the ground, but if you think about it carefully, how can long-standing habits be corrected overnight.
She always felt that Jiang Baiyan would not be obedient, so Shi Dai puffed up her cheeks and said, "Remember this."

Jiang Baiyan smiled again.
He was in a good mood. Shi Dai wanted to say something more, but she suddenly paused before she could say anything.

A slender index finger came up from bottom to rest on her spine, imitating her movements, and poked gently.

"Miss Shi."
Pressing it gently with his index finger, Jiang Baiyan asked her, "Is it okay?"
His tone was still restrained and gentle, and he followed the rules.

Since it was a hug, Jiang Baiyan certainly had the right to return the hug.
Shi Dai nodded: "Okay."

With her permission, the palm of her hand that was used to holding a sword gently moved down.

Jiang Baiyan's movements were extremely slow, like buds absorbing the rain and dew little by little, stretching gently and silently until he held her in his arms.

Like a kind of gentle imprisonment, if you look closely, you can discern the inescapable aggression.

Shi Dai's body temperature was much higher than his, their skin was touching, and their warmth blended together.
Being so close, you can feel the rhythm in each other's chests.

Long-lost breathing, heartbeat and body temperature.
It’s the feeling of being alive.

Jiang Baiyan lowered his eyes to cover up the surging emotions.

Being held by him, Shi Dai slowed down her breathing.

it's wired.
When she took the lead at first, everything flowed smoothly without feeling cramped.
Being hugged back by Jiang Baiyan at this moment should be a normal action, but...

Inexplicably, the tips of her ears felt hot.

It's like being entangled and twisted by a clump of vines. The force is gentle, but it doesn't allow you to break free, and it invades every inch.

Jiang Baiyan's actions are obviously serious, right?

In a daze, Jiang Baiyan called her: "Miss Shi."

The voice was close at hand, low and hoarse, and accompanied by barely audible breathing, it made her fingertips numb.
Shi Dai whispered: "What?"

She tilted her head slightly, and at the same time, Jiang Baiyan leaned on her shoulder and tilted his neck.
For a while, the four eyes met.

too close.

Wherever she looked, her peach blossom eyes were long and narrow, like a pool of glistening ink, filling her outline.
These eyes are tempting enough. The boy's red lips are slightly hooked, showing the small dimples on his cheeks——

Fortunately, his expression was gentle and innocent.

Shi Dai's breathing was messy and she quickly looked away.

Outside her field of vision, Jiang Baiyan's eyes were dark, like a trapped animal that could break free from its warm skin at any time and reveal its blood-stained fangs.
In the blink of an eye, he was an obedient, harmless, rain-soaked dog again.

"like."
The voice is low, almost breathy.
Jiang Baiyan said: "Miss Shi, can you teach me more in the future?"
