Chapter 173: Visitation
And the words that I couldn't hear clearly before gradually became clearer.
"Why are you so stupid? Every time you come in here, you're always scarred, so why not take good care of yourself? You, you, always think about others, live for others, don't think more about yourself ....... ”
After hearing this, she opened her eyes suddenly, and through the familiar mask and those eyes, this person was Su Nianjun.
"Why are you here?"
As soon as Shen Xianhe spoke, his voice was hoarse.
"I heard that you were sent to the prison again, and after thinking about it, I decided to come and see you, in case you were scarred like the last time, as I expected, every time you were sent to this prison, you would be covered in scars, so I came here with all my preparations."
Su Nianjun replied while rubbing medicine on her wound.
Feeling that his forehead was cold, Shen Xianhe was just about to reach out to touch it, but was stopped by Su Nianjun.
"Don't move, it's an ice veil for you to cool down, your forehead is so hot that you can almost boil an egg, all the ice cubes I asked people to send have been used up for you, only your forehead has turned into water, if I hadn't appeared here in time, maybe you would be a corpse here tomorrow."
Shen Xianhe put down his hand a little embarrassed, and let Su Nianjun rub the medicine for her, but the two were too close to each other, she could even see the stubble on his chin clearly, in order to break the embarrassing atmosphere, she asked.
"Thank you, for saving me again, and I owe you a favor again."
"What's polite, you're used to it anyway, aren't you?"
"Uh...... Okay, but if you sneak in here, why can you bring these things in? ”
Looking at the wooden bucket with ice cubes next to the bed, and a large pile of white handkerchiefs, Shen Xianhe couldn't help but wonder, because this is a heavenly prison, Su Nianjun can come and go freely, and he came with these things so openly, isn't he afraid of being discovered by the officials?
After Su Nianjun finished giving her the medicine, he threw those things aside, picked up the white handkerchief on the side, and wiped his hands while answering her casually.
"It's nothing, it's just that I bought off one of the officials in this prison."
"But this is the Heavenly Prison, the Heavenly Prison directly managed by Chu Xi, will they be bought by you so easily?"
Shen Xianhe questioned in disbelief.
"What's this, as long as it's a person, as long as it's a person who has no money, they all love silver, it's just the size of the amount, I gave him a silver that he can't spend for a lifetime, even if he risks killing his head, someone will take risks."
Hearing Su Nianjun's words, Shen Xianhe couldn't help but be curious.
"How much money did you spend on it?"
"So you want to know?"
"Well, I'm curious."
"It's not much, the cost of a meal is only five thousand taels of silver."
Shen Xianhe nodded.
"Well, it's really not much, when I go out, I'll send someone to return the five thousand taels to you."
It's just that as soon as she finished speaking, Su Nianjun's eyes narrowed slightly, and the corners of her mouth also pursed, looking very unhappy.
"No need, I haven't paid attention to this bit of silver yet."
Shen Xianhe looked at him a little inexplicably, and he didn't know what was wrong with him? Go on.
"Although you didn't take the five thousand taels of silver in your eyes, but it was to help me, so one yard is one yard, and the silver must be repaid, and the favor must be repaid."
After hearing her words, Su Nianjun became even more unhappy, stood up and strode to the table and sat down, looking very angry.
Shen Xianhe felt even more inexplicable, looked at his back and asked.
"What's wrong with you? Did I say something wrong that made you unhappy? ”
Su Nianjun turned around and looked at her seriously.
"Yes, you're making me unhappy, can you not see me like this?"
Hearing his words, Shen Xianhe felt very shocked, because she actually heard a trace of coquettish tone from his words that should not appear between the two, she forcibly resisted this strange feeling, couldn't help frowning, and replied in an embarrassed tone.
"That...... Master Su, we don't seem to know each other very well, it's just a cooperative relationship, the reason why I make these clear is also for your sake, you ....... ”
Before Shen Xianhe finished speaking, he saw Su Nianjun's eyes drooping, looking very hurt, so her voice became lower and lower, more and more unconfident, and even a trace of guilt appeared faintly in her heart.
"Master Su Zhuang ...... I said the wrong thing just now, don't be upset...... I...... I apologize to you....... ”
Just when she didn't know how to go back, Su Nianjun raised her eyes, looked at her seriously with a look she had never seen before, and said slowly.
"Are you curious about my face behind the mask?"
Shen Xianhe had long been curious, but because Su Nianjun had said before that his face could not be seen after the mask, she had always respected others, although she was curious, she didn't think to look at the face behind his mask.
"I used to be curious, but then I saw you more often, and I gradually got used to it, and I thought you looked good wearing this mask."
"Would you like to see it?"
"Ah...... I...... Show me?"
Tonight's Su Nianjun was too weird, and Shen Xianhe felt that he couldn't keep up with his jumping thinking.
"Well, here you go!"
Su Nianjun looked at her eyes firmly and said.
"But why did you show me? Aren't you the one you never let others see your face? ”
"Yes, I never wanted others to see it, but now I want to show it to you, there is no reason, I just want to show you, but after reading it, will you dislike me?"
"Of course not, but I don't think you should think about it again, and did something happen to you? That's why it's so abnormal? ”
Shen Xianhe was really frightened by his abnormal appearance.
After hearing her words, Su Nianjun showed a wry smile.
"If there is a person who deceives you a lot of things because of a lot of unavoidable suffering, but he doesn't really want to deceive you, but because he can't help himself, he appears in front of you and confesses everything like you, will you forgive him?"
Hearing Su Nianjun's words, Shen Xianhe couldn't help frowning and looked at him suspiciously.
"Are you so perverse because you have been deceived by others like this?"
"Don't change the subject, stand in your current position, will you forgive him?"
Su Nianjun looked at her with a lot of emotions such as nervousness, fear, and anticipation, and the hand hanging on her side involuntarily clenched into a fist, and the corners of her mouth were even tighter.
In fact, such a question is not very difficult for Shen Xianhe to answer, but looking at Su Nianjun's serious and nervous look, he has never shown it in front of her, plus he has helped her so much now, so she can't answer him perfunctorily.
After some serious thought, she looked up at him.
"I don't know if I will forgive, because deception can be divided into many kinds, I don't know what kind of deception he deceives, if it is beyond my scope to bear, and there are people around me who are hurt, I think this kind, I will not forgive, no matter what kind of body he has involuntarily, I will not."
After listening to her answer, Su Nianjun's eyes became dim, the corners of his mouth were pulled, and a wry smile was revealed, and the person instantly quieted down, and the whole person sat there, not knowing what he was thinking?
"Did something happen to you?"
Seeing him like this, Shen Xianhe couldn't help but worry.
Hearing this, Su Nianjun raised his eyes, looked at her quietly and asked.
"Although I know it's presumptuous to ask you such a question, I can't help but want to know what you think, can you answer me truthfully?"
"Well, you say, but whatever I know, I will answer you truthfully."
"What kind of feelings do you have for Eleven?"
Hearing the name Eleven again, Shen Xianhe's heart still couldn't help but throb, but she was no longer as out of shape as before, smiled lightly, and spoke.
"At first, I just treated him as a secret guard, and didn't pay much attention, but as he stayed by my side for longer and the two of us got along day and night, I slowly found that I seemed to be more and more inseparable from him, until I knew that he was your person, I was really sad and sad, of course, and disappointed, and then I began to learn to accept the fact that he would one day leave me and return to you, at this time, I found out that my feelings for him were different, not the kind of feelings between master and servant, but the love between men and women, and later, I learned that he had the same feelings for me, and before I could rejoice, he came to tell me that he was going back to you, and I hated that he didn't even have the courage to fight for it, so he gave in so easily, and he didn't even confirm his heart to me, I hated him for being so cowardly, and I hated that I liked him. ”
After saying these words that were pressed in his heart, Shen Xianhe's heart felt like a stone had been unloaded, and his heart, which was heavy before, instantly became relaxed.
Like her, Su Nianjun became happy because of these words, after she said this, his eyes became bright, swept away the previous haze, and the whole person became sunny in an instant, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, looking very happy.
Seeing her like this, Shen Xianhe couldn't help but look at him suspiciously and asked.
"Why do you look so happy?"
