Husband-stealing story - Chapter 47
Tang Shijiu was taken aback at first, but then she was charmed by his smile. She gently pulled her hand away and patted his face: "You bad boy, you've been corrupted by Tianxiu."
As soon as she spoke, a new question arose: "Where is Tianxiu?"
Shen Yun was used to lying, and he didn't blush or skip a beat: "Tianxiu was called away by the Sangmen people."
This sentence wasn't entirely meant to cover up his clumsiness.
In the afternoon, when Tang Shijiu dragged Xu Ziqing out of the backyard by the ear, he clearly saw the pain on her face. It was the pain of disappointment, the disappointment of knowing she had been deceived.
He really didn't want Tang Shijiu to know why Tianxiu was being so good to her.
Tang Shijiu used his five fingers as a comb to casually ruffle his messy long hair: "Yun Tan, are you feeling better? Why are you sleeping here?"
Shen Yun said with a smile, "Tianxiu said you were drunk and asked me to come and keep an eye on you."
In the flickering candlelight, Nineteen's face was as beautiful as the morning glow. He couldn't help but reach out and tuck a strand of hair that was falling on her face behind her ear.
It was just a small gesture, but Nineteen's face flushed. His fingers were unexpectedly rough, and when he touched her face, it felt tingly and itchy. This itch traveled through her skin and into her heart.
She looked up and met his eyes directly.
I could see clearly that her reflection was in that bottomless black pool.
Someone gently stirred the lake of her heart, causing ripples that made her uneasy. When the ripples subsided and the water calmed down, Tang Shijiu was astonished to find that the reflection in the water had changed, and a different person had appeared.
One of them, someone she thought she could never like.
A person who doesn't meet her requirements in the first place.
Her expression was hesitant and elusive, her fair face flushed with a rosy hue. No words were needed; her emotions were already written all over her face. Shen Yun, taking advantage of the situation, reached out and took her hand.
She didn't refuse, but lowered her head, blushed, and softly called out, "Yun Tan."
It's not a spittoon.
It's a cloud-based conversation.
Shen Yuntan's Yuntan.
These words gave him immense courage. He reached out and pulled her into a tight embrace, saying earnestly, "Tang Shijiu, I like you. Do you like..."
Do you like me but I don't?
A smile bloomed without her realizing it, but for some reason, Tang Shijiu suddenly felt an urge to cry.
He received no answer, and his heart pounded with anxiety. For the first time, he lost his confidence: "You like me, or you don't?"
Tang Shijiu hugged her tightly again: "I love you, Yun Tan! I love you the most!"
Shen Yuntan teased her on purpose: "I don't know martial arts, how can I subdue your junior brothers and sisters?"
Tang Shijiu bit her lip and chuckled softly, "If anyone dares to bully you, I'll beat them to a pulp and send them running all over the mountain."
Their faces beamed with joy, radiant with happiness. The two sat hand in hand on a stool, you looking at me and smiling, I looking at you and smiling back.
What Tuanfu Mind Method, what Tang Weiqi.
What Xu Ziqing, what Junior Sister Gu?
Nothing else matters anymore.
She didn't chase after him asking, "Do you like me? Do you like me? Am I pretty?" Tang Shijiu finally understood that when you fall for someone, and that person happens to like you back, these questions don't need an answer. Because his eyes and his smile already told you that in his heart, you were a precious jewel, irreplaceable by anyone else.
It turns out that my initial amazement at some people was simply due to my limited experience of the world.
It turns out that the right person was the one I misplaced my trust in back then, simply because I hadn't met the right one yet.
Tang Shijiu smiled sweetly and threw herself into Shen Yuntan's arms: "Yuntan, you're not allowed to lie to me. If you do, I'll beat you up!"
He took a breath and hugged her tightly.
He will definitely tell Tang Shijiu everything when the time is right.
Even if he had to endure a beating or a stab, he would hold her tightly and never let her go.
Chapter Thirty Tang Yu
The two sat at the table, bathed in candlelight, looking at each other, holding hands, chatting and laughing until dawn. They didn't actually talk much about anything serious; they just picked out trivial things to discuss.
He talked a lot about the 19th, but said very little about the Yun Tan.
As he watched her chatter about her junior brothers and sisters, he suddenly felt an urge to tell her his own story in its entirety.
Those memories he had buried deep inside, those memories filled with bloodshed and slaughter that he didn't want to be awakened without Tian Shu and Tian Xiu's presence. He had never told anyone his story, yet now he wanted to tell it all, to entrust his past and present to her.
Of course, there is also the future.
The sun peeked out from the east, its rays bright red. Nineteen rubbed his eyes, stretched, and blew out the flickering candle on the table. "Yun Tan, do you have any money? I'll go buy a carriage, and we'll go find your family somewhere else."
She used to consider things carefully, but now she asks so directly, clearly not treating him like an outsider. Shen Yun smiled slightly, very satisfied with this change.
He took a gold leaf from his waist and placed it in her palm, which she held tightly. "Nineteen, I'm not going to look for any family anymore. Let's go back to Xiaoyao Manor, and you'll be my family."
Tang Shijiu's face turned red again, and she tried to pull her hand away but couldn't.
"If you promise me, I'll let go." He started acting like a scoundrel.
Tang Shijiu, who had been looking down, suddenly raised her head, revealing a set of gleaming white teeth: "Then let's not put it down at all. Let me touch it and see if your belly is nice to pinch."
