"Shanshan, I..."

Zhen Shan reached out, held his hand, and gently opened his tightly clenched fingers.

"Yan Xu, don't force yourself."

He shook his head, pursed his thin lips slightly, and for a long time, his voice was harsh, "You know everything?"

Zhen Shan's eyes flickered slightly and he nodded.

Yan Xu suddenly didn't dare to look at her, "Yes..."

"What's wrong with you?"

Yan Xu's dark eyes suddenly regained a glimmer of light.

He may not care that he is carrying his own sins, but he cannot help but worry about what she will think when she learns the truth?

Are you filled with sadness and making your already bad health worse? Or do you dislike him for being so heartbroken?

But at this time, she said she was not wrong.

Yan Xu was a little at a loss. Didn't she blame herself? Didn't she think he was despicable?

Zhen Shan ignored that there were people next to him and didn't care about any secular etiquette. He hugged him gently and said, "Yan Xu, you are not the one who was wrong."

Yan Xu froze and felt a little dizzy again.

She rarely goes out, but outside, she must keep a distance from him.

He understood that people's words can be frightening, so he took the initiative to cooperate with her.

Today, it was very rare for her to take the initiative to hold his hand, let alone hug him. She seemed to accept his feelings without any scruples. How could Yan Xu not be as joyful as if he had been smashed by a pie in the sky?

Not to mention, she had no grudge against him at all.

Zhen Shan leaned close to his ear and whispered softly in a voice that the two of them could hear: "No matter what time, you don't have to feel that you are in debt. You have never been sorry to anyone, let alone owed anyone."

From beginning to end, it was never him who was wrong.

Yan Xu was slightly startled. The pity, guilt and helplessness in her words made his heart shrink, and the soft flesh pierced into his flesh. He seemed to have no feeling, and when he touched it, he felt extremely uncomfortable.

He always felt that she was hiding something from him, but he couldn't guess. His vague uneasiness forced him to want to keep her at all costs, but when he saw her phoenix eyes hiding her sorrow, he became flustered.

"Shanshan, what's wrong with you?"

Zhen Shan's eyes trembled slightly and he took a step back, "You are you, Yan Chu is Yan Chu, and you will never be his."

Yan Xu's breathing was slightly suffocated.

Zhen Shan comforted him and squeezed his hand, turned his eyes, and glanced at Meng Qi with some complexity, "The Resurrection Grass will not be used on me."

Meng Qi felt slightly relieved, but when he thought of something, his face tightened again, "Then the resurrection grass will mature in three days, Second Young Master..."

Yan Xu looked at Zhen Shan, struggling several times in his eyes, and finally got discouraged and made a difficult compromise, saying calmly: "I will come to protect Yan Chu."

Meng Qi felt like he was being rescued from drowning. The fear on his body disappeared, and he knelt limply on the ground. He kowtowed heavily to the two of them, "Thank you, Madam, and thank you, Second Young Master."

Zhen Shan turned his body sideways and refused to accept his courtesy, "You don't need to thank me."

Yan Xu was silent, didn't say anything, and left with Zhen Shan.

Since Shanshan can't use the Resurrection Grass, she will still have to rely on Yan Chu's medical skills to take care of her body in the future. Saving him is just for themselves, and they have nothing to thank.

…

Three days later, it was a full moon night.

The sky is covered with dark clouds, without any starlight, and a full moon is looming in the clouds. There is a bit of moisture in the air. In the autumn season, tonight is particularly dull.

Zhen Shan stood in front of the window, looking at the dark and lightless sky, his eyes were deep and as calm as dead water.

Suddenly, a warm embrace pressed against his back. He lowered his eyes, and what caught his eyes were his hands with clear joints, like works of art.

The hands that had always held the sword and looked down upon the world were now tenderly tying the belt of her cloak.

Zhen Shan's eyes were no longer cold, and there were a few ripples in his eyes.

She turned around slowly, "Why don't you go to Zhuxie's?"

"The rejuvenating grass is only ripe now, it's still early, there's no rush."

Zhen Shan looked at him, but stopped talking.

"Don't worry, the arrangements have been made over there. Besides, Yan Chu has kept the matter of the Soul-Reviving Grass a secret, so there won't be any problems."

Zhen Shan's crow-feather eyelashes trembled slightly, "Yeah."

"Shanshan," Yan Xu hesitated, "Are you really not willing to take the Soul-Reviving Grass?"

He was still a little unwilling to give up.

Zhen Shan raised his hand, gently brushed away the wrinkles between his brows, then stood up on tiptoes and kissed his thin lips.

Yan Xu's eyes widened, his whole body stiffened into stone, and her soft chuckle flashed across his ears.

His face was burning badly, and his eyes flashed with a trace of embarrassment, but they were as hot as fire.

Yan Xu tightened his arms and turned his back on the guest, taking her breath away harshly and passionately, wishing he could fuse with her flesh and blood.

The dark clouds in the sky slowly dispersed, and the bright moonlight fell on the two people embracing each other, making them so hazy and dreamy that they seemed to be shattered at the touch of a touch.

"hiss!"

Hearing the sound of her throbbing pain, Yan Xu came back to his senses. He saw that her lip had been accidentally bitten by him, and there was a little bit of blood oozing out. His eyes were stained with guilt and a hint of shock.

"Shan Shan," he raised his hand to help her wipe away the little bit of blood, but he was afraid of touching her wound.

Moreover, when he touched her red and swollen lips, Yan Xu's eyes darkened and his Adam's apple moved slightly, but he was worried about hurting her again, so he had to look away with difficulty.

Zhen Shan's cheeks were stained with an intoxicating blush. Seeing his nervous and shy look, it was a little funny.

"Okay, it's getting late, let's go to the Bamboo Pavilion first."

Yan Xu lowered his head, lightly touched her lips with his thin lips, rolled the blood drop into his mouth, and said in a low and serious voice: "I won't hurt you again next time."

Zhen Shan: "..."

"Do you want another time?"

"Shanshan, you can't do that to me."

If there is no next time, wouldn’t that cost his life?

"Poor technology!"

"...First kiss, Shanshan, you have to be tolerant. Besides, doesn't this prove my innocence?"

He has guarded his body like a jade for her for twenty years!

Zhen Shan's red lips twitched slightly and she pushed him away in disgust.

Yan Xu curled his lips, but he knew he couldn't waste any more time, "You should be back before tomorrow morning. Don't stay up late waiting for me. Have a good rest, okay?"

For some reason, he suddenly didn't want to leave. His footsteps were rooted and he couldn't move no matter what.

It seems that as soon as he leaves,...

"Okay, go quickly, I can't stay up all night with my body," Zhen Shan said with a smile.

Seeing the gentle smile in her phoenix eyes, her expression was the same, Yan Xu felt relieved, "It's windy and frosty on the mountain, so don't stand by the window, lest you catch a cold and it will be bad."

"I know, Aunt Yan."

Yan Xu: "..."

In the end, Master Lianyan, who was despised and bitched, angrily grabbed a certain woman who was always tickling his heart and sealed it with a kiss. His actions proved that not only was there a next time, but the next time was coming soon.

Zhen Shan stood by the window and pursed his lips with a smile when he saw him turning around and leaving.

Yan Xu also looked at the woman leaning against the window and railing with a gentle smile. Her pale eyes were filled with deep affection, her thin lips raised softly, and she murmured softly: "Wait for me."

Zhen Shan didn't seem to hear, her phoenix eyes were stained with the bright white moonlight, and all her emotions were blurred.

His figure had disappeared into the courtyard, but Zhen Shan stood in front of the window for a long time, until a black shadow silently fell into the room.
