Chapter 255 Learning to Accept
Luozhu has four seasons like spring.
It is now mid-November. In Jiangdu City at this time of year, it gets dark early and there is no sunset at all.
But outside the window at this moment, the setting sun hangs in the sky for an exceptionally long time.
Regardless of the method of detoxification, Jiang Li did feel that he had some strength.
She stood up tentatively and was pleasantly surprised to find that although her legs were still a little weak, they were no longer as if they were wrapped in lead as before, and every step she took was extremely strenuous.
Just as Shen Beiqi said, at this moment, she felt that God was really kind to her.
After all, being able to escape death is the greatest luck.
She heard the chirping of seabirds outside the window and gently pushed open the bamboo window.
This courtyard is located alone on the top of the mountain. It is quiet and elegant. The wisteria spikes on the flower stand dance in the wind.
Because of the high position, Jiang Li could clearly see the vast and deep sea in the distance.
There is a bright red sun hanging in the sky, as if it is within reach. The rays of light dye the sea surface dark red, and the waves are rippling, creating a beautiful scenery.
Shen Beiqi pushed open the door with a tray in his hand and saw her standing barefoot in front of the window with her hair loose. He frowned and said, "Ali, the ground is cold."
Jiang Li was stunned for a moment, then looked down at the half of her fair instep exposed under her skirt, and smiled embarrassedly, "I forgot."
She stood on tiptoe to put on her shoes, but he hugged her and put her on the stool in front of the dining table.
"Eat first." He pushed the porridge in front of her, and went to the couch to bring her shoes over.
Jiang Li saw him squatting down, as if to put on shoes for her, and immediately retracted her feet back onto the stool in fear, "You...what are you doing?"
Shen Beiqi's hands were empty, and he looked up at her, "The ground is cold, put on your shoes."
"I can do it myself..."
She reached out to take the shoes from his hand. He raised an eyebrow but did not insist. He stood up and sat on the stool beside her.
"I've taken off my clothes for you, why are you still shy about putting on shoes?" Shen Beiqi smiled faintly and teased her deliberately.
Jiang Li, who was eating porridge, choked unexpectedly.
Although... what he said was true, she was unconscious at that time and knew nothing!
If she was awake, it wouldn't be that easy for him to take her off...right?
She stirred the corn porridge in her bowl and said with a wry smile, "That's different."
"What's the difference?"
Jiang Li: "I was unconscious at the time and had no ability to refuse."
Now that I have it, of course I can’t act like a child and rely on him for everything.
Shen Beiqi couldn't help but laugh, "You mean, you would reject me if you were sober?"
Jiang Li muttered softly, "It's not like I haven't refused before..."
Hasn’t it happened several times before?
Shen Beiqi forced out a meaningful smile, nodded slightly and said, "When we detoxify tomorrow, Ah Li, remember to... reject me."
He wanted to see how she would refuse and whether she could refuse.
Jiang Li was choked for a moment.
She felt that it would be better to end the topic here.
After all, she never got anything good in front of him.
She lowered her head and drank her porridge, responding to all changes with silence.
The corn porridge still had no taste, but at least it no longer tasted bitter in her mouth like before. Even white porridge tasted bitter.
Perhaps because I was so hungry, I actually tasted some rice fragrance.
Because he slept too much during the day, Jiang Li was no longer sleepy at night.
The mountains were quiet. She listened to the chirping of insects outside the window and the sound of the tide coming with the night wind, and her heart was at peace.
The young man beside her was breathing evenly, his strong arm resting on her waist.
Jiang Li turned her head and looked at his handsome face in the dim moonlight.
She was drowsy along the way and relied entirely on him for care.
He must have never had a good night's sleep.
When she was with him, she always had the illusion that she was... very precious.
She pursed her lips, leaned closer, and placed her lips on the corner of his lips.
His eyelashes trembled, but his breathing remained steady.
She lay down, looking at the green gauze ceiling, her thoughts gradually drifting away.
No matter what happens in the future, now, he really likes her.
She had no doubt about his determination to marry her, and she knew that he could do it.
But human hearts are never satisfied. Even if they have his heart, they still want his whole heart.
That night in Linyang City, he once said that she was the only one in his life.
It's not that she doesn't believe it, she believes that he is sincere when he says this.
But a lifetime is too long. No matter how beautiful the vows are, they will always be erased in the long river of time, leaving only a broken body.
He is the Duke of Jingguo. Now that the third prince has ascended the throne, no one in the court can stop his brilliance.
How could it be possible that such an outstanding and handsome man, who is in a high position of power, is the only one in the backyard?
What's more, if she married him, as a mistress she should not be jealous, but should take a concubine for him to ensure the continuation of the Shen family's offspring.
So, even though they were so close, she still couldn't let him put on her shoes.
Only by staying awake can you avoid falling too deep.
She loves him very much, but she cannot selfishly monopolize him.
She must learn to accept that in the future, there will be other women by his side.
The morning light shines into the house through the flower stand in the yard. Inside the green gauze tent, Shen Beiqi slowly wakes up.
He put one arm around her waist and she used the other arm as a pillow, pressing it under her neck.
He curled the corners of his lips, raised his hand and gently tucked the messy hair on her face behind her ears.
Perhaps it was a little itchy, she moaned coquettishly, buried her head lower, and continued to sleep soundly.
He hugged her and suddenly recalled the scene in the bamboo house yesterday.
Her soft fingertips gently stroked his shoulders and back, and when she couldn't bear it anymore, her nails unconsciously dug into his skin.
And the faint moaning sound lingered in his ears like a devil's sound, making him even more unable to control himself.
The Adam's apple rolled up and down, and a feeling of heat could no longer be suppressed and rose from the abdomen.
He believed that if he were someone else, he could also be as calm as Liu Xiahui who could remain calm even when a woman sat on his lap.
But how many men can bear to hold the woman they love in their arms, unless he is not a man!
It's all about detoxification, so what difference does it make at what time or where?
He pinched her chin, lifted it up slightly, and kissed her lips without hesitation. After tossing and turning for a moment, he pressed forward.
“…You…what are you doing…”
Jiang Li's eyes were hazy with sleep, and her tone of voice was soft and tender, which made him feel hot all over.
"What do you mean?" He raised her little hand that had been resisting to the top of his head, interlocked his fingers with hers, and replied as a matter of course, "Detoxify."
Detoxification?
"But..." I don't think you were here yesterday?
She couldn't utter the rest of her words, as they were all swallowed into her stomach.
Inside the green tent, there is a charming scene.
Men always have a strong desire to win when it comes to things like this.
Especially when facing the one you love, you don't want to be at a disadvantage.
According to Medicine King, no man would feel sorry for a woman in this matter.
Therefore, under the heroic spirit of Shen Beiqi, Jiang Li learned a lesson and understood an important rule to save his life: Never - never say that Lord Shen is incompetent!
