Worry-free for the rest of your life?
Shen Zhixi darkened her eyes. She didn't need to leave the rest of her life in the hands of a man. Without a man, she could live the rest of her life without worries.
She also doesn't really believe in promises. Promises are the most useless things.
"I'm afraid you'll regret it," she said.
Tang Zhou chuckled and asked her again: "What about you? You saved me and spent all your family wealth to save me. Do you regret it?"
"not regret."
Shen Zhixi answered happily. After all, it was all fake.
Everything like depleting family wealth is all fake.
Tang Zhou lowered his head and curled his lips, and replied softly: "Then I don't regret it either."
No, Shen Zhixi denied it for him in his heart. If one day he knew that everything she told him was false, he would regret saying this today.
But it doesn't matter, no matter what, it is true that she saved Tang Zhou's life.
He himself said it as repayment of kindness.
But Shen Zhixi didn't see that since Tang Zhou said "I don't regret it either", the smile on his lips has never gone away, and there is really a lot of longing in his eyes, for the future The longing for me, the longing for being with her, the longing for the rest of my life.
He was serious, couldn't be more serious.
Yuanyang walked far ahead, while Shen Zhixi and Tang Zhou were left behind and walked slowly.
Passing by the lake and walking out of the dense forest, the moonlight in the sky became brighter and brighter without the obstruction of high branches.
"Are you tired? Why don't you put me down and rest for a while? Your injuries haven't healed yet." Shen Zhixi gently patted Tang Zhou's neck, signaling him to take a rest.
"It doesn't matter, I'm not tired."
Tang Zhou shook his head. He just wanted to go home early so that Shen Zhixi could rest peacefully. However, he couldn't see, so he walked slowly. He felt ashamed and didn't dare to stop.
"you……"
When he was about to pass through a tree, Shen Zhixi, who was holding a torch, suddenly didn't know what he saw. His eyes suddenly opened with fear, and then he yelled "Ah" and raised his hand to wave the torch.
It turned out that there was a snake hanging on the tree.
It was spitting out snake letters and was about to charge towards the two of them.
Shen Zhixi subconsciously used a torch to drive it away, but she was too frightened, her hands were shaking, and she couldn't keep up with the snake. The poisonous snake easily dodged past and bit Shen Zhixi's right wrist as if it was enraged.
She was in pain and dropped the torch in her hand.
The poisonous snake was about to attack again. Tang Zhou's ears twitched when he heard the hissing, and he moved his palm like the wind. Before Shen Zhixi could react, the snake was knocked to the ground, and it fled quickly after being frightened.
"Suzuland, were you bitten?"
Tang Zhou put Shen Zhixi down and let her lean in his arms.
"Where's the bite?"
"Bite your hand? Your arm or somewhere else?"
Tang Zhou asked repeatedly, his worry difficult to conceal.
"Hand...wrist." Shen Zhixi cried. This time she was not pretending, she was really in pain. "It seems to be poisonous. What should I do? Will I be poisoned to death?"
"Won't."
Tang Zhou groped for her hand, and sure enough, he felt a trace of moisture on her right wrist, which was the blood from her bite. Without thinking, he lowered his head and came to the spot where she was bitten, and drank the blood for her.
“Tangshu!”
Shen Zhixi didn't expect it and was also shocked.
Tang Zhou remained silent, inhaled and spit out, and within a few moments, his lips were stained with blood.
Yuanyang, who heard the noise in front, ran back and saw Shen Zhixi injured and blurted out, "Little...why are you so careless? Sister, are you okay?"
Shen Zhixi was also startled, but fortunately Yuanyang reacted quickly.
"Do you still remember what a snake looks like?" Tang Zhou asked after vomiting the last mouthful of blood.
Shen Zhixi recalled it immediately, but felt dizzy, "It seems... it seems that the head is oval, black but with circles of yellow-brown patterns on the back."
Hearing this, Tang Zhou lowered his eyes and thought for a moment.
"Fortunately, it is not highly poisonous and not fatal. However, it will make people dizzy, and the wounds will become red, swollen and itchy. If the poison is not detoxified, the wounds will not be able to heal. It is not difficult to find herbs that can detoxify this poison. It grows by the spring, and its leaves have western leaves with white catkins in the middle. There was a lake and spring on our way here just now."
"I go."
Yuanyang volunteered to find an antidote for Shen Zhixi.
Although it was dark and frightening, and there were snakes and insects everywhere, there were people from the Shen family following from a distance. I wasn't afraid of having them around, and I could ask them to help search for him.
Tang Zhou carried Shen Zhixi to a clean place and let her lean on a big rock. Then under Shen Zhixi's command, he found dead branches and broken firewood and lit them with torches to make a bonfire for warmth.
"When I was bitten just now, I accidentally dropped the torch on the ground. Fortunately, it was almost ignited and caused a fire." Shen Zhixi sat with his arms folded. Perhaps it was due to the intrusion of toxins, and he was a little bit blown by the wind. cold.
His body was trembling, but Tang Zhou beside him had already taken off his coat and handed it to her.
"Are you still worried about this? How do you feel now? Are you dizzy?"
While speaking, he stroked Shen Zhixi's shoulders and put his coat on her body.
"Your injuries haven't healed yet..."
"Don't argue with me about this." Tang Zhou refused to allow her to return the clothes.
Shen Zhixi didn't resist, she just tilted her head and smiled at him, her eyes were a little distracted, but she could still hold on, thanks to Tang Zhou who had just sucked out most of the poisonous blood for her, otherwise she might have fainted after saying this. , but the poisonous blood still had some influence, causing her to hallucinate, and there were several more layers of phantoms on Tang Zhou in front of her.
"Why...you suddenly became..."
She stretched out her fingers like a silly smile and counted the phantoms behind Tang Zhou.
"One, two, three, west, five, how did you become five?"
When Tang Zhou heard this, he understood that she was affected by the toxin and simply said: "It's okay. Just wait until we find the antidote. You'll be fine."
"hehe……"
Shen Zhixi giggled, put his hand on Tang Zhou's body, and placed it on his chest.
"One of you is already very good-looking, and there are five of them at once, and my eyes are dazzled. Tang Zhou, why are you so good-looking? I have never seen a man as good-looking as you."
Tang Zhou's expression was indifferent. Many people praised him for his good looks, and he had long been used to it.
When he was the empress, his sister was also known as the most beautiful woman.
"Why...are you wearing lipstick on your lips?"
Shen Zhixi stared at Tang Zhou's lips, her mind so dizzy that she completely forgot about Tang Zhou sucking blood for her just now. She only felt that his lips were too red and too alluring.
"You have lipstick on all five of them? Let me see."
She put both hands on his shoulders, and fell on top of him as her body became unstable.
"Let me see."
She moved closer to him, as if she was about to touch him.
Tang Zhou stretched his head and body, feeling a little nervous.
When Shen Zhixi's fingers touched his lips, his whole body tensed up, as if he was frozen. But he still didn't think much about it. He just thought that Shen Zhixi was curious that the blood on his lips was the woman's lipstick and wanted to touch it to see what happened, so he didn't take precautions.
Therefore, when Shen Zhixi's lips pressed against his unexpectedly, he didn't even have time to blink.
