Super détecteur de fantômes

Chapitre 61

Hua Jiuye squeezed out a sound from her nose: "Huh? What did you say?" The fingers holding Shen Zhili's hair suddenly tightened.

My scalp hurts so much!

Shen Zhili's eyes welled up with tears from the pain: "...No! Senior brother, you are so great, I'm so moved I'm almost crying..."

The hand loosened, replaced by a gentle caress.

Hua Jiuye said lazily, "Since you're so touched, why don't you have a child for me?"

Shen Zhili: "...No!"

Why are you so persistent?

Hua Jiuye straightened up, pulled Shen Zhili over, and stared at her. Both her expression and the dangerous glint in her eyes sent a chill down one's spine: "Before, it was because of Shen Tianxing. But now? You wouldn't actually have taken a liking to that Twelve Nights Young Master, would you?"

Shen Zhili shrank back in fright at the terrifying gaze, but was pulled back by Hua Jiuye, leaving her with no way to escape.

Hua Jiuye's gaze shifted to Shen Zhili, who looked like a chicken, and she lifted her up by the back of her collar with disappointment: "How could I have raised such a useless junior sister! She has no martial arts skills, is weak-willed, and even speaks haltingly."

Shen Zhili struggled: "...Let me go!"

Who did you raise?! Where did I soften... I'm clearly feeling like a young girl, don't you understand?!

Hua Jiuye ignored her and simply said, "One sentence! Do you like it or not!"

Shen Zhili sat down to one side, rubbing her neck and sighing. Facing Hua Jiuye, she had absolutely no privacy left; it was so painful…

Whether you like someone or not is actually quite obvious from the very beginning.

If I didn't like him, why would I let him bother me for so long? If I didn't like him, why would I feel an indescribable joy and peace when I saw him again? If I didn't like him, why would I be so sad when I found out that his feelings for me might just be a misunderstanding?

You can deceive Hanako, but you can't deceive yourself.

Despite repeatedly showing disdain for Su Chenche, everyone has a heart, and being cherished and pampered like that, it's impossible for anyone not to be moved.

If she could, she would rather not have fallen for Su Chenche, after all, it was destined to end without a trace...

After a moment of silence, Shen Zhili closed her eyes and nodded silently.

After a while, instead of hearing Hua Jiuye's sarcastic words, she felt a hand slowly pat her head, as if to comfort her or to give a silent message.

Looking up, I saw Hua Jiuye's slightly complicated gaze, filled with melancholy, helplessness, and a faint trace of heartache.

That gaze instantly reminded Shen Zhili of her senior brother from back in Huichun Valley.

He was still the same senior brother with whom she could laugh and joke, confide without restraint, and protect and accompany her like a friend, a father, a brother, and a close relative.

My eyes welled up silently.

Shen Zhili pulled down her senior brother's hand and relayed everything Lei Ying had told her to Hua Jiuye.

Hua Jiuye: "So, the reason why this Twelve Nights Prince fell in love with you at first sight and pursued you relentlessly was because he took the wrong medicine?"

Shen Zhili nodded: "I didn't know him at all before."

Hua Jiuye smiled, her voice unusually light: "That's easy. Give him the antidote, then dump him."

Shen Zhili: "..."

Hua Jiuye wrapped his arm around Shen Zhili's waist, looked out the window, and mused, "Three-legged toads are hard to find, but two-legged men are everywhere. What's a Twelve Nights? I'll tie up ten or eight men a hundred times better than him for you later. Anyway, the martial world is vast; there's all kinds of men out there, and they're all definitely better than that guy surnamed Su..."

A gentle breeze and a bright moon; the long night is still, and countless stars twinkle in the sky.

A full moon hangs in the sky.

A hand suddenly reached in through the window.

Then, with a very faint thud, "that guy surnamed Su" appeared in the room, dressed in flowing white robes.

Su Chenche: "..." Why is my brother-in-law here?

Shen Zhili: "..." Not surprised at all, I knew you would go through my room in the middle of the night...

Hua Jiuye released Shen Zhili, jumped off the bed, and looked coldly at Su Chenche, her voice as cold as if she had fallen into an ice cave: "You're climbing into my junior sister's boudoir in the middle of the night, huh? You've got some nerve..."

Su Chenche blinked and smiled: "...Anyway, it's not the first time."

"I don't care how many times you've done it, breaking your legs will ensure there won't be a next time!"

Hua Jiuye took out an iron flute and slashed it at Su Chenche.

Unexpectedly, Su Chenche didn't linger in the fight at all. He turned and leaped out of the window again, and Hua Jiuye chased after him in a fit of rage.

Shen Zhili sat cross-legged on the bed silently, rubbing her forehead.

Can't these two ever get along peacefully? Why do they always fight as soon as they meet...?

"Knowing separation..."

Accompanied by a gentle, soothing voice, a hand gradually touched her face.

Shen Zhili turned her head blankly and slapped down the claw that resembled An Lushan's: "Didn't you just... run away?"

Su Chenche sat cross-legged opposite Shen Zhili, his eyes curving upwards like the amorous moon outside the window, overflowing with tenderness enough to drown one: "That one outside isn't me."

Luring the tiger away from the mountain...

Good idea...

"Zhi Li..." Su Chenche lowered his head slightly, the wisps of hair on his forehead fluttering gently in the breeze, his eyes half-covered as if he wanted to say something but hesitated, "You took advantage of me all day, can you take responsibility?"

...Why do I have this feeling that I know this will definitely happen?

Shen Zhili: "I'm not responsible. I don't remember anything from the daytime."

Su Chenche raised her crystal-clear amber eyes, biting her lower lip, looking like a wronged woman who had been used and abandoned: "Don't you remember?"

Shen Zhili nodded resolutely.

Don't play the victim!

Pretending won't help!

You are not pitiful at all!

"That's the only way..."

Shen Zhili asked in confusion, "What?"

Su Chenche looked at her: "Do you remember now?"

Shen Zhili: "I remember... Hey, hey..."

Su Chenche took her hand, slipped it through her loose outer robe and inner garment, and pressed it directly against his chest.

His chest rose and fell slightly with his breathing, and you could feel Su Chenche's strong heartbeat, one beat after another.

Like him, he is real and close at hand.

The warmth gradually spread through their exchanged palms, and the smooth, delicate skin felt like a freshly peeled egg.

Shen Zhili felt her face growing hotter and hotter. As she pulled her hand away, she asked in a flustered tone, "What are you doing?"

...It's one thing to touch a patient while treating their wounds, but to be pressed down and touched like this is really...so stimulating!

Su Chenche held her hand tightly, pressing it even further in. Two intoxicating blushes rose on his handsome face, making him incredibly alluring at close range. His tone was filled with grievance: "You don't remember? Then I'll just have to let you have your way with me again..."

My finger accidentally touched a protrusion on Su Chenche's chest.

"Bang."

Shen Zhili felt like she was on fire.

There's no reason for TT to be forced to sexually assault someone!

Chapter 50

"Wait... I never intended to take advantage of you..."

Shen Zhili paused.

Her amber eyes reflected the moonlight, and also her own image.

Su Chenche toned down his usual nonchalant demeanor, though a faint blush still lingered on his cheeks. His tone, however, was much more serious than before: "Zhi Li, but I think..."

Shen Zhili: "You want to lock me up..."

The hand holding hers tightened its grip, and her heartbeat seemed so close it was almost in her ear.

A captivating ripple stirred in Su Chenche's eyes, spreading like waves across a river of his heart: "Did you hear it speaking?... It said it likes you so much."

Shen Zhili's heart skipped a few beats, and she said, "You..."

Su Chenche lowered his eyes: "As long as I'm by your side, I can't help but want to do this and that to you... I'm having a hard time holding back, Zhili..." The smile on his lips was somewhat bitter. "The days I spent away from you before were really hard to endure. Southern Xinjiang is so far away. What if something happened to you? What if you encountered some danger and I wasn't there for you?... Besides these, there's also... what if you forget me or fall in love with someone else when I'm not by your side? I was on tenterhooks every day, wishing I could rush to your side immediately."

Is it really necessary to be so sentimental...?

...This level of sweet talk is really beyond her capacity to handle!

Su Chenche continued, "In fact, Zhili, I almost lost you. If I had arrived just one day later..."

"Stop talking." Shen Zhili closed her eyes.

My cheeks are burning, and the feeling is getting worse. Why am I involuntarily believing what he said...?

This guy is a complete liar and his heart is utterly black...

Besides, even if it were the truth, it would be because someone took the wrong medicine, wouldn't it...?

I'm sure he'll be sold!

But even when close to the heart, the heartbeat remains steady and strong, one beat at a time, neither too fast nor too slow... If it were a lie, the heartbeat would be faster.

So……

Su Chenche's fingers brushed against Shen Zhili's cheek, his voice low and deep: "Zhili, I can't even imagine what life would be like without you..."

That's a lie...

How could I like it that much...

Shen Zhili muttered silently.

Don't you believe me?

A slight tremor ran through his chest beneath his hand, and a soft sigh escaped his lips.

It was a mixture of helpless indulgence and a touch of pampering.
