Chapter 299: Chapter 299 Minister under the Skirt (21)
Chuzheng returned to the room, where Xie Shu, fully dressed, sat by the window, calmly gazing at the sea.
She brought over a cloak and draped it over him, “Be more careful in the future, don’t just take your clothes off.”
Xie Shu’s hand gripping the cloak tightened.
“What’s the difference? To Miss Jun, am I not just a male pet?” His lips curled into a smile, “If you tell me to strip, I must strip, right?”
“Xie Shu.”
“Miss Jun, I would like some peace for a while.”
Chuzheng adjusted the cloak around his shoulders, then turned and left the room.
Once Chuzheng had left, Xie Shu reached for the location of his birthmark. Had that person named Yao Ye… told her something?
Heavy Snow Night Moon…
He had never thought that one day, Heavy Snow Night Moon would turn into Purgatory, where out of the heavy snow, the flames of karma would arise.
Xie Shu closed his eyes.
The images before him just couldn’t be dispelled.
“Xie Shu, leave this place, don’t seek revenge, just survive.”
“Shu Shu, survive.”
“Xie Shu, you must live… Don’t seek revenge, don’t harbor resentment, your survival is the hope.”
Xie Shu’s fingertips turned pale.
He struggled hard to live; he really did try…
Xie Shu looked towards the sea.
He was heading to the place where he had lost everything.
–
Chuzheng didn’t return that night, and only the invincible Wu Di was hopping around on the shelf, muttering something.
Xie Shu lay in bed, listening to the sound of the sea breeze outside.
His wound felt a bit uncomfortable.
Xie Shu turned over in bed.
Wu Di fluttered up.
Xie Shu sat up, “Can you talk?”
Wu Di: “…”
Should I talk?
That woman said not to listen to disorderly speech.
“What’s your name?”
Wu Di: “…”
Wu Di fluttered down.
“How do you know her?”
Wu Di couldn’t help but reply, “Caught.”
Xie Shu: “…”
The Tianjin Mouse was caught by her, and so was this bird.
Even himself…
Xie Shu lay back down.
“Did she tell you to watch over me?”
“No,” Wu Di denied, “She locked the door. You can’t escape even if you want to.”
Xie Shu: “…”
Xie Shu closed his eyes, and the pain of his wound intensified, spreading along his meridians as if it had permeated his heart.
In his half-conscious state, Xie Shu felt someone embracing him from behind, gentle Xuan Qi covering his knees, alleviating the pain.
He opened his eyes, but he was too tired.
When he woke up, there was no one by his side.
It was like this for two consecutive days.
Xie Shu put on the red garments sent by Yao Ye, and Yao Ye showed no abnormality, “Your wound is healing quite quickly, but…”
Xie Shu tightened his belt, “Young Master Yao Ye, please speak frankly.”
Yao Ye said, “Your wound has been treated with medicine, a very special medicine. Although I’ve cleaned it, because you’ve been like this for a while and you don’t have Xuan Qi Protecting Body, the wound affects the core. You’ll likely feel pain periodically from now on.”
