But Xiao Shixun didn't listen at all. Before he could finish speaking, he scooped him up and carried him off the carriage.
Su Fuliu's bare feet dangled in mid-air, making her stand out starkly from the people around her.
Winter was approaching, and the cold wind blew, its chill seeping straight into the soles of his feet.
He rubbed his cold feet together gently, trying to get a little warmth.
But as a result, my feet were still ice cold.
With his feet cold, his body naturally couldn't warm up either. A chill enveloped his entire body, causing him to shiver involuntarily.
But he ignored it and, after getting off the carriage, quickly raised his hand to cover his eyes, making a show of discomfort.
Chapter 535 Obedience
"What's wrong, Jing'er?" Xiao Shixun asked.
"My eyes hurt," Su Fuliu replied.
"Why do your eyes hurt all of a sudden?" Xiao Shixun looked at his pained appearance. Could it be that he cried himself unconscious and hurt his eyes?
"I... I was blind before, and my eyes haven't fully recovered. I cried so much earlier, and now when I see light, my eyes sting. So I want to find a light veil to cover my eyes and avoid the light, so that my eyes will feel better."
Su Fuliu really didn't want to talk to Xiao Shixun, but in order to get Xiao Shixun to find him a light veil to cover his eyes, he forced himself to speak.
He wanted to cover his eyes with a light veil so that Xiao Shixun wouldn't see his gaze.
He was afraid that if he saw his Tinglang, the love and worry in his eyes would be impossible to hide and would be discovered by Xiao Shixun.
So he came up with this idea that even if he secretly watched his son, Tinglang, he wouldn't be discovered.
"Okay." Xiao Shixun nodded, picked him up, and went into the clinic.
The doctor glanced at the group of people who had entered and, seeing that they were not ordinary people, quickly went to greet them: "Is this young master feeling unwell? Please place him on the soft couch over here."
Xiao Shixun then placed Su Fuliu on the soft couch. The doctor glanced at her and said, "It's so chilly today, why isn't this young master wearing shoes and socks?"
Upon hearing this, Su Fuliu shrank her feet, trying to hide them inside her clothes.
Xiao Shixun said unhappily, "You're meddling too much."
Although it was cool, Su Fuliu stayed in the carriage the whole time, where she was sheltered from the wind. There were also blankets in the carriage. Even when she got off the carriage, he didn't let Su Fuliu walk by herself. He carried her the whole time. What could possibly go wrong in such a short time?
Once back at the Xiao Kingdom's palace, he had Su Fuliu move into a warm pavilion that he had prepared long ago. The pavilion was warm, even the floor was warm, so Su Fuliu didn't feel cold even when walking around barefoot.
The doctor was startled and stopped talking. He quickly went over to take Su Fuliu's pulse and treat her.
After treating Su Fuliu's injuries, the doctor went to treat Qin Shi and Yuan Sichen.
They stayed at the clinic until evening, taking their medicine before finally leaving.
Before going to find an inn to stay in, Xiao Shixun bought Su Fuliu a white veil to cover her eyes.
Although things weren't as clear this way, Su Fuliu felt much more at ease.
Upon arriving at the inn, Xiao Shixun booked two superior rooms. He naturally shared a room with Su Fuliu, while Qin Shi shared a room with Yuan Sichen.
Xiao Shixun carried Su Fuliu back to the room and placed her on the bed.
Then he asked the waiter to prepare dinner.
Xiao Shixun looked at Su Fuliu, who was sitting quietly on the bed, still hiding herself in the corner of the bed, looking both obedient and pitiful.
He was also captivated by it for a moment.
He only came to his senses when the waiter brought him dinner.
"Jing'er, shall I feed you?" Xiao Shixun felt a little better when he saw that Su Fuliu was so well-behaved and did not quarrel with him.
Su Fuliu was startled and quickly threw off the covers to get out of bed: "I can do it myself."
"Don't move, sit still, I said I'll feed you."
Seeing that Xiao Shixun insisted on feeding him, Su Fuliu did not object anymore.
Lu Chimo once said that one should try to comply with things that can be complied with, so as not to anger Xiao Shixun and suffer for oneself.
Shortly after dinner, Xiao Shixun began to undress.
Although Su Fuliu couldn't see very clearly, she could tell what he was doing, so she subconsciously shrank back into the corner of the bed.
Chapter 536 Curly-haired Bear
"You've already hidden in the corner of the bed, where else do you think you can hide?" Xiao Shixun sat down on the bed.
The light veil concealed the panic and tension in Su Fuliu's eyes.
When he saw Xiao Shixun approaching, his heart immediately jumped.
"Aren't you going to sleep?" Xiao Shixun asked.
Su Fuliu shook her head: "No, I'm not sleepy. You go to sleep, don't worry about me."
His mortal enemy was sleeping right next to him; how could he dare to sleep there?
He wrapped his blanket around himself, intending to sit huddled in the corner all night.
Seeing his expression, Xiao Shixun immediately saw through his plan: "Are you planning to sit here all night and not sleep?"
"Whether I sleep or not is none of your business. You can go to sleep," Su Fuliu replied.
"For the past few years I've been searching for you, not a single night has passed without me thinking of sleeping in your arms. Now that I've finally met you, are you planning to sit here alone without sleeping?"
Xiao Shixun's tone carried a hint of danger.
After he finished speaking, he reached his hand into Su Fuliu's blanket and grabbed Su Fuliu's foot.
Startled, Su Fuliu stretched out her foot, intending to kick Xiao Shixun off the bed.
Unfortunately, lacking internal energy, his strength was no match for Xiao Shixun's.
As she struggled, the jade bell rang incessantly, just like Su Fuliu's panicked and uneasy heart.
He struggled for a long time to no avail, but Xiao Shixun crawled into his bed and hugged him tightly.
"Xiao Shixun, you...you said you wouldn't touch me!" Su Fuliu remembered those words.
"I won't touch you, I'll just hold you. I've never had a good night's sleep since I was a child. Tonight, I'll definitely get a good night's sleep if I hold you." With that, he pulled Su Fuliu down with him and held him tightly in his arms.
Su Fuliu remained tense, not daring to relax at all.
Xiao Shixun held him, closed his eyes contentedly, and said, "This will be my first peaceful sleep."
Su Fuliu gritted his teeth, enduring the discomfort. He kept reassuring himself that once Xiao Shixun fell asleep, he would secretly prick him with an acupuncture needle to make him sleep soundly, so that he could break free.
Xiao Shixun rubbed his face against Su Fuliu's soft hair and said, "Jing'er, you smell so good..."
He had one arm around Su Fuliu's waist and the other hand gently touching the back of Su Fuliu's neck, wishing he could meld Su Fuliu into his very bones.
His foot kept touching Su Fuliu's foot, as if he were tracing its outline.
"My Jing'er is as obedient as a kitten. I really love her. Just thinking that Jing'er will belong to me alone makes me so happy. I want to take you back and hide you in the warm pavilion. No one can take you away from me again."
Xiao Shixun closed his eyes, breathed softly, and whispered sweet nothings.
But these words only made Su Fuliu feel disgusted.
He closed his eyes, pretending he was being hugged by a curly-haired bear.
Time ticked by.
Su Fuliu noticed that Xiao Shixun's breathing had become even, and thinking that he must have fallen asleep, she gently took out a silver needle and pierced it directly into his body.
He won't be able to wake up until tomorrow morning.
Only then did Su Fuliu dare to make a move. He pried open Xiao Shixun's hands that were wrapped around his waist and successfully stepped out of Xiao Shixun's embrace.
He sat up, removed the white veil from his face, and began to search Xiao Shixun's body for an antidote.
But Xiao Shixun had nothing on him.
He got out of bed again. Since he had no shoes or socks, he had to go barefoot. He picked up Xiao Shixun's outer garment and felt around it, but he still couldn't find the antidote.
That makes sense; how could Xiao Shixun possibly carry the antidote with him at all times?
Therefore, the only option is to go back to the Xiao Kingdom's palace with him to look for him.
It's just unknown whether Xiao Shixun left behind an antidote.
Su Fuliu sighed softly, walked to the table and sat down, then slumped over the table with a sorrowful expression.
He gazed at the flickering, dim candlelight, his thoughts drifting to the person in the other room.
She murmured softly, "Tinglang..."
Chapter 537 Illness
Su Fuliu lay there for a while, then, as if remembering something, she immediately got up and returned to the bedside.
Looking at the unresponsive Xiao Shixun, he took out a silver needle and stabbed him again: "I'll make you impotent, then let's see how you bully me in the future!"
Only after he had destroyed Xiao Shixun did Su Fuliu get up with peace of mind, walk back to the table and sit down. He continued to lie on the table, staring at the oil lamp that was almost burned out, missing his Tinglang.
At this moment, Qin Shi was far from able to sleep.
After Yuan Sichen fell asleep, he went out of his room and stood outside Su Fuliu's room.
One of them lay quietly on the table, while the other stood quietly outside the door.
Su Fuliu lay on the table, murmuring the name "Tinglang" very softly. After the oil lamp went out, she gradually drifted off to sleep.
He can see his beloved Tinglang in his dreams.
Qin Shi stood guard outside, thinking that since it was so quiet inside, he wouldn't be discovered if he quietly pushed the door open to take a look.
But in order not to let all his previous efforts go to waste, he had this thought several times, but in the end he still held back.
As the first light of dawn gradually appeared, Qin Shi returned to his room for a short rest.
When Xiao Shixun woke up from his deep sleep, he was startled to find the person in his arms gone. He sat up abruptly and turned his head to see Su Fuliu asleep on the table.
He breathed a sigh of relief, then threw off the covers and got out of bed.
