Chapter 43: The Visitation

Xue Zhao stood in front of the door of the house for a while, and there was no movement inside. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info Her heart was racing, and she didn't know whether to go in or wait a little longer, or go back directly, and come back when Lin Xiuyuan woke up. After hesitating for a moment, her heart beat even harder. Thinking of the scene that night, and not knowing the extent of his injuries, she calmed her heartbeat and gently pushed the door open and walked in.

There was the smell of medicinal herbs in the room, and Lin Xiuyuan was still asleep lying on the bed. Xue Zhao walked to the bed and saw that his right shoulder was bare, and there was a strip of cloth wrapped around his shoulder, and some blood stains leaked out of the strip of cloth. The image of him rushing out of the fire with her in his arms suddenly appeared in Xue Zhao's mind. Although she was unconscious at the time, she could fully imagine him protecting her from the slightest injury with his whole body, and his shoulder must have been hit by the weight falling from the roof. He was very skilled, and she had known him for a long time, and she had never seen him hurt, but it had become an excuse for her to ignore his feelings, and for her to turn a blind eye to his repeated sacrifices. She only cares about her own heart, but has she ever thought about his heart?

Xue Zhao sat down gently in front of his bed and pulled his futon upwards to cover his bare arms. He breathed evenly and slept peacefully. Xue Zhao involuntarily reached out and touched his face. His skin is smooth and warm, and his facial features are extremely handsome. At this moment, his eyebrows are stretched, his eyebrows are thick and dark, the bridge of his nose is high, and the curvature of his lips is just right. Xue Zhao seemed to have never observed him so closely, and he made her heart pound at this moment.

Touching his face, her heart ached faintly, when he woke up, would he let her touch him like this? She had broken his heart several times, so why did she think he could still do to her like he had done to her?

When he was stunned, he suddenly heard the door being pushed open, and then a playful man's voice came, "Yo! I didn't come at the same time! Xue Zhao was shocked, quickly retracted her hand, and stood up nervously, blushing. When I looked up at the door, I saw a young man wearing an autumn-colored robe, with red lips and white teeth, a handsome face, and a malicious smile on his face.

The man held a delicate porcelain jar in his hand, stroked his chin with one hand, looked at Xue Zhao with a playful expression, and nodded with a smile, "This is Miss Yu who makes my eldest brother worry about it day and night?" Uh-huh, no wonder. Xue Zhao heard this person speak so explicitly, and couldn't help but look even more shy. But she was still everyone's young lady after all, and she only heard her calm down and say, "The boy said with a smile. Dare to ask Childe's surname? ā€

The man was about to answer, when he suddenly heard the man on the bed say in an unhappy tone, "I know it's not a coincidence, why don't you leave here?" The man put on a surprised expression and said, "Ah! Eldest brother! So you're awake! With this injury, I guess you'll be able to get off the ground an hour ago, right? How do you still have to stay in bed? Xue Zhao was shocked when she heard this, she glanced at Lin Xiuyuan in surprise, lowered her head again, and her cheeks were hot. If he had been pretending to be asleep, wouldn't he have noticed her movements. Lin Xiuyuan sensed that Xue Zhao was looking at him, cleared his throat a little embarrassed, frowned and said, "Leave quickly if you have nothing to do!" ā€

The man's eyes widened in surprise, and he said innocently, "Big brother, you said that Miss Yu likes to drink tea, and asked me to go all over the city to find you good jasmine slices." I searched for a long time, and finally found some good tea this year in an old tea shop in the west of the city, and I only got some of them! As he spoke, he spread the delicate porcelain jar in his hand forward. Lin Xiuyuan glanced at him and did not speak. Xue Zhao gave a gentle salute and said with some embarrassment, "I have to worry about Mr. Lao." ā€

The man waved his hand and said, "It's okay, Miss Yu doesn't have to be polite!" He looked at Xuezhao, as if pouring bitter water, continued, "These are nothing, a few days ago he heard that you are going to get married, his heart is extremely depressed, every day he pulls me to accompany him to drink, as a result every time I get drunk, vomit all kinds of meat and vegetables, but he complains that I don't accompany him to have fun, saying that I am more bored after drinking with me... Xue Zhao couldn't laugh when she heard this, and her heart began to ache dullly, could it be that he had been so sad for her that he had to drink and get drunk every day? How deeply did she hurt him before? And he never showed it in front of her.

Xue Zhao was knocked out yesterday, and stayed in the sea of fire for half an hour, and his body did not fully recover. I saw her figure sway, and she was immediately held in her arms by Lin Xiuyuan, who got up quickly. Lin Xiuyuan's shoulder hurt, the wound was torn, and some new blood stains leaked out, but he ignored it completely, and just asked nervously, "Xuezhao, what's wrong with you?" ā€

Xue Zhao felt that his posture was too close, and she was afraid that she would attract tongues again in the future, so she just wanted to push him away, but Lin Xiuyuan's arms wrapped her very tightly, and she was weak at this time, and some cold sweat broke out on her forehead, and she couldn't move for half a minute, so she had to put her head weakly on his left shoulder.

The man felt a little speechless, and also took two steps forward nervously, asking, "What's wrong with her?" ā€

"Dizziness and night sweats, my body is too weak." Lin Xiuyuan's voice was still calm, and Xue Zhao could feel an endless sense of security every time he heard this voice. His arms still carried the familiar warmth, and for a moment, she hoped in her heart that he could hold her like this forever.

"What are you doing in a daze, pour a glass of water!" Lin Xiuyuan commanded.

"Oh!" The man seemed to react suddenly, quickly poured a glass of water from the teapot on the table, and walked over quickly. Lin Xiuyuan took the cup, with a slight effort on his left shoulder, he held her up steadily, and said softly in her ear, "Xuezhao, drink some water." Xue Zhao took two sips of water from the cup in his hand, and after a while, her breath stabilized, and her head was not as dizzy as just now, she immediately pushed him away, struggled to sit aside, her voice was like a mosquito, and said, "I'm better, thank you, Brother Lin." ā€

Lin Xiuyuan carefully observed her face, turned around and picked up a piece of silk cloth from the pillow, carefully wiped the fine cold sweat on her forehead for her, and said, "You are not well yet, you shouldn't run over." Xue Zhao panicked inside, and only felt that every skin his hand touched was as hot as fire. Even though others are on his side, he seems to turn a blind eye, his actions are intimate, and he does not avoid suspicion. But the man didn't care much, Xue Zhao knew that they must be very close people.

She didn't dare to move, and was at a loss when she suddenly heard a soft knock at the door. Xue Zhao was shocked again, she didn't know who was visiting, she was anxious to stand up, but Lin Xiuyuan took a step ahead of her and held her hand tightly, and whispered, "Don't move", and the other hand was still carefully wiping the water droplets on her head.

Xue Zhao couldn't break free, his heart was pounding, and the man said, "I'll go open the door." So saying, he turned and walked in the direction of the door.
