Heartburn - Chapter 117
“Master, I’m in Zhuangzi.” In the face of Kuang Ximing’s substantive cold gaze, the servant who opened the car door to break the silence said this sentence timidly. There was something to say, but he shuddered. Then he immediately retreated back, fearing that he would get into trouble again, and he couldn’t help but laugh.
I pulled Kuang Xidong’s sleeves and signaled her to go out soon-she had been caught in the rain and caught the cold. If she had a fever, it would not be good. She had to change her wet clothes as soon as possible and take a hot bath.
“Let’s go.” She glanced at me angrily, but couldn’t help but hooked up the corner of her mouth. She stepped out of the sedan chair, helped me again, and turned her head to several people standing on one side with their heads down. The handsome boy ordered, “Prepare hot water and meals to the room.”
“Yes.” The few people promised to retreat, and Kuang Ximing and I were also welcomed into a room exuding bursts of medicinal fragrance.
I watched as a few strong women carried two large bathtubs and a screen. I had a vague premonition, and I was about to refuse. Unexpectedly, Kuang Ximing seemed to have guessed that I was going to speak, and explained first. Said: “Placed in one room, so that they don’t have to run both ways to send hot water… Besides, I have something to say to you, so it’s more convenient.”
Tell her what to say, what can I do?
Besides, I am the same woman as her and sisters. It’s no big deal to take a bath in the same room. There is a screen in the middle, so there is no need to hesitate. If I refuse to continue, it seems that I have something in my heart. Ghost.
I had done enough mental development, and thought I could accept it, but when I looked up and saw Kuang Xidong, who had quickly stripped off his outer shirt, blouse, and bottoms, leaving only a close-fitting coat, I suddenly lost my ability to speak.
“You, you, you…” I pointed to her tremblingly and stammered for a long time, and then reacted in her increasingly joking eyes, and quickly turned my back-the self-regulation that was just now has long been thrown away. The dog, his head is full of that snow-white body with a glimpse of surprise.
I don’t know when I have such a good memory. I will take a glance, but it seems to be frozen for a century and so long, as if I have traced that picture countless times, and it was imprinted on mine. Mind; and as if it originally existed somewhere deep in the mind, after the glimpse of that electric light and flint, it awakened the deep memory…
My brain was dizzy and painful, and my nose was also itchy. I rubbed my nose with a headache, but I felt a slippery hand. When I looked down, it was a little scarlet—a nosebleed!
There is no more embarrassment.
I wiped my nose fiercely with my sleeve, and while secretly spitting on my lack of success, I couldn’t help but slander the other party: What are you doing so eagerly? At least you have to wait until the other side of the screen to take it off…
Hearing her unrestrained ridicule in my ears, my brain heated up, and I turned my head angrily, and I was about to ridicule, but no longer saw the person.
As far as I can see, there is only one screen with clothes hanging on it, and a delicate silhouette is reflected on the thin screen.
The Yiren slowly removed the last piece of cover, and gracefully lifted his leg into the tub, immersed himself in it, and put hot water in one hand and poured it on his neck—I only hate that my eyesight is so good that I can clearly capture it. A drop of water followed the curve of the neck down, across the collarbone, down, across the valley and gully, and then down, into the unspeakable place… At this time, I hated my lack of sight. There was no such thing. Through the perspective of breaking through walls, you can see clearly and plainly, rather than thinking about it here.
There was another chuckle in the ear, softer than before, and inexplicably confusing.
Just listen to her meaningful ridicule: “What are you still making? If you don’t wash it, the water will be cold.”
“Oh, let’s wash it.” Turning back in annoyance, he quickly took off his clothes and dipped it into the bucket, trying his best not to look at the screen-it was soaked in hot water, and the warmth melted, and it looked particularly comfortable after being exposed to the rain. People relax unconsciously.
Halfway through the wash, I suddenly found that there was no movement next door.
I opened my eyes suddenly, but found that the person who was supposed to take a bath next door was wearing a robe that was almost transparent after being wetted by water, standing by the tub, staring at me intently, his eyes deep, as if there were a thousand words Wanyu cannot be said clearly.
I was dumbfounded, not knowing whether to scream or sink to cover the key parts first.
Looking at each other for a moment, she saw the corners of her lips slightly bend, and casually picked up a bucket of hot water and poured it into my bathtub, and then took many unnamed medicinal materials from the shelf on the side and sprinkled them in the bathtub in turn. In; Soon, a sensation mixed with soreness, numbness, swelling and pain came from the place in contact with the water, and I couldn’t help but snorted.
“Does it hurt?” She touched my drenched temples while keeping the action of evenly spreading the medicine, and said with a full face, “This medicine is different from the effect of the last detoxification, but it will be a little painful. , You bear it, it will be better in a while.”
“…Well, fortunately, I can bear it.” I didn’t ask her what kind of medicated bath is for treatment, in short, it is good for the body-she won’t hurt me anyway.
“Speaking of which, this room hasn’t changed at all… Since we left last time, I have let people lock this room. I taught the servants to clean it in a hurry. Although there is still some smell, it is not ashes in the end, you Don’t dislike it, let’s live it up.” After stopping the action of sprinkling the medicinal materials in her hand, she half leaned on the side of the wooden barrel, in a posture that she wanted to talk to me for a long time, but didn’t care about our almost candid relative situation.
“Where is it so squeamish? I think the taste of Chinese medicine is pretty good.” I smiled and relaxed some of the muscles that had been tightened suddenly because of her approach. At the same time, I calmly moved the medicinal materials floating on the water in the middle. Dialed, covering the looming scenery under the water.
“I still remember, it was here, I couldn’t help but… kissed you for the first time.” She fluffed my hair, and suddenly said softly.
I was taken aback, even the expression was fixed on my face.
And as if she didn’t know anything, she leaned close to my earlobe and said softly: “At that time, you were so surprised, as if you were casted by someone with a fixation spell. It was ridiculously tight, but also cute. “
I rolled my eyes slowly, met her eyes, and swallowed slowly.
Sure enough, the next moment I heard her faintly ask: “I remember these things clearly… I just don’t know, did you remember? My… Jianxin.”
——Oh, it’s still to this point.
From the moment she called the name in a sure tone, I knew that I could no longer hide it.
I have indeed recovered my memory, just constantly hypnotizing myself to forget everything, deceiving myself and not wanting to admit it.
“…When did you find it?” I closed my eyes with a wry smile, and I asked in a low voice, waiting for her to ask in anger.
“That time I forcefully kissed you, but you slapped me.” The expected anger did not happen, and her chin was slightly cool, but she stretched out her finger to click on my cheek, and then lifted my chin. Rubbing back and forth.
I opened my eyes helplessly, trying to free her fingers, but he was afraid of the situation and did not dare to move too much, so as not to lose everything-you know, I was trapped by her in the tub, but now it is one, silk, no, Hang, it-the person who knows the current affairs is a handsome, it is best not to offend her at this time, “Just because I reacted fiercely to control you? This does not mean anything… I have never been willing to beat you before.”
If we talk about other flaws, how about the reason why she would recognize it after hitting her? Isn’t it too far-fetched?
“Later, I called you Jianxin, but you didn’t refute it. At that time, I had doubts, but there was no evidence or confirmation.” She smiled, staring at me with clear eyes, and taught me to look away. It opened, but the looming snow color under the pair of breathable shirts was reflected in the eyes again, and he couldn’t help but breathe quickly, and his heart beat faster, relying on willpower to turn his attention abruptly.
“It’s also possible that I was frightened at that time, causing chaos and no response… How can you be sure?” Seeing her getting closer and closer, almost touching my chest against my face, I had to sink into the water. After taking a step back, she barely highlighted her encirclement.
“Yes, I’m not sure, so I have to accompany you in acting-I’m waiting, when you are willing to admit and accept me.” She didn’t reluctantly rushed forward, but looked straight at me. , The line of sight was fiery, teaching me like a man on his back, not daring to look back.
“Then, I advise you to give up.” Holding the edge of the wooden barrel carefully stepping out of the body, regardless of the hot gaze from behind, I pulled the robe hung on one side to cover myself, and hurriedly fastened the belt, calming my mind. , Turned around and looked at her indifferently, and said in a single word, “I won’t forgive you.”
——Lies, betrayal, blood relationship, identity…There are too many grievances between me and her, too many to be impossible, and these right and wrong are by no means a simple forgiveness that can be eliminated.
I thought we could start again, and under the guise of amnesia, we could get along as sisters and live in peace…Why should we pierce this layer of window paper and break the last connection between us?
I don’t care what she does to me, but I can’t bear Kuang Xiqing’s life and stay with her in peace of mind.
I have evaded, been confused, and impulsive, but I can’t beat the voice from the bottom of my heart after I clarify everything, reminding me over and over again: Jiang Zhuo, kill Kuang Xiqing.
I can’t hurt her hair with a hand, let alone revenge for one life for another.
Therefore, I can only punish myself.
“Jiang Zhuo…I hate you.” The moment I passed by her side, I felt a sharp pain in my heart and itching in my throat, like a piece of flesh and blood from my heart, “I never want to see you .”
I saw the teasing and obsession in her eyes fade away a little bit, and the confidence and light in her eyes shattered a little bit, leaving only the empty eyes, reflecting my indifferent face.
I heard my own cold words without emotion, like a double-edged sword, piercing her chest fiercely, and drawing blood dripping from my sword-holding hands.
The door closed behind her back, and she heard the muffled groan of her kneeling on the ground, as well as the screams and whimpers that suppressed the pain.
I tightened my fists, feeling the tingling of my nails on my palms, and swallowed the sweetness in my mouth forcefully, forcing myself to take a step and gradually walk away.
——You lied to me once, and I lied to you once, we are both cleared, okay?
Since then…every day, we will never see each other again.
