Let me state in advance that the reason why Xu Shi decided to stay and take care of the unconscious Shen Qin was not because of that "but".
The real reason is another sentence.
If I want to humiliate you, do I still need an opportunity?
Anyway, Miss Shen Qin always looked sick and weak, but now she is even more pitiable after being injured. How about bullying her? It's better to choose a day than to hit it.
But he didn't expect that the other party would suddenly grab him in a daze, and then rub against his leg bit by bit.
"Brother, brother, I'm so scared..."
The inhibitor injected by Xie Qingyan gave her a slight fever, and she talked nonsense uncontrollably, "Mom and dad are gone, and you are gone too. I can't find you. They all bully me. It's so dark..."
"Xiaoqin will be obedient. Brother, please stop hiding from me and come out, okay?"
As she spoke, the little pearl slipped from the corner of her eye like a broken thread, making her look even more aggrieved, pitiful and helpless.
"..."
There was silence for a long time.
Is this a nightmare... It seems like it reminds me of the days when "Tianhe" was destroyed, when I was displaced with Shen He, and then separated from him and disappeared?
Judging from her gibbering, it was most likely, but no matter what dream she had, this was the first time he saw such an expression on Miss Shen Qin's face.
It's interesting to say that it may be because of the hostile relationship between them. Since the first time he met her, Xu Shi rarely even saw her smile. Most of the time, he had a poker face, or was furious after being humiliated by himself.
After all, they had been tit-for-tat in secret from the beginning. Even if she had these expressions, it would be difficult for her to show them to herself... Moreover, she was still the leader of the "Forgotten Ones", how could she show such a side?
She would probably only look like this in front of her good brother Shen He, and it was obvious that in her state of confusion, she once again thought of herself as Shen He - he had some of Shen He's little treasures with him. The aura remains.
So, like Gu Yi, you are a dog, right? Miss Black Rabbit likes to bite people when there is nothing wrong. You are even more amazing, you know people by their taste...
Thinking of this, Xu Shi laughed dumbly, and at the same time he put his hand on her forehead and responded gently.
"Sleep peacefully, Xiaoqin, my brother is always here."
"Uh-huh……"
Hearing what he said, Shen Qin's expression finally relaxed a little, but she still dragged him and refused to let go, "Brother, don't leave, please stay with Xiaoqin..."
Your brother has washed away the spiciness! You chose your idol!
Xu Shi secretly complained, but he rarely followed her wishes and kept this posture to give her something to rely on.
This is completely out of good intentions. Everyone knows that Xu Dong is a very gentle person.
Moreover.
Xu Shi knew very well that this was probably the last time these memories would appear in her mind.
There always needs to be some hospice care.
Shen Qin had already fallen asleep, her gentle breathing rising and falling, peaceful and reassuring.
…
The next morning.
Needless to say, the effect of the drug "Prism", plus Shen Qin's own self-healing ability, once the influence of Luo Yu's ability fades, she will recover very quickly.
Anyway, when she woke up, she was already in a very healthy state. She even felt a little refreshed and seemed to have had a good rest.
What happened last night... Shen Qin thought about it for a moment and then remembered that he had fought with Luo Yu. It seemed that he had fallen into his secret power?
The memory after that is a bit fuzzy. Did I faint or something? But it is rare to have a good dream...
This pillow is also very comfortable. Just lying on it makes me feel at ease... huh?
She reached out and touched it in a daze, and suddenly she felt something was wrong.
"ah--"
When she opened her eyes and saw the situation clearly, she was stunned for a few seconds, then immediately screamed and jumped away.
"Xu Shi! What did you do to me?!"
Miss Shen Qin subconsciously hugged the quilt and huddled in the corner of the bed, ashamed and angry, with a hint of fear and a little bit of disbelief.
Why did she end up resting on his lap? It's not even an exaggeration to say that she was half-snuggling in his arms...
More importantly, she was naked now, with her clothes thrown aside casually, creating a somewhat messy look.
"...You are very noisy, Miss Shen Qin."
Of course Xu Shi woke up when she made such a fuss - or in other words, he didn't sleep at all and just closed his eyes to rest his mind. For an "upgraded person", a day without sleep is nothing.
"But it seems like you're recovering well?"
Seeing the other party's unprecedented energetic appearance, he smiled with interest.
"Restore you ■!"
Shen Qin gritted his teeth and yelled angrily, "What on earth did you do to me?! Shameless person!"
She subconsciously felt that this bastard must have taken the opportunity to do something bad to her. Looking at the situation around her, it looked like...
"Calm down, and put down the quilt."
Xu Shi twitched his lips, "It's as if I haven't seen it before... Of course, I haven't praised it before. Miss Shen Qin's skin is very good."
This is true. Although she looks a little sickly, overall, Shen Qin is just a little less rosy than a normal person. On the contrary, her body is as white and smooth as mutton fat, making her truly a beauty in the world.
Shen Qin didn't let go. She didn't deny that she had been naked in front of Xu Shi countless times, but wasn't it all forced by him? It's not like she was willing to strip naked for him to see.
"You... please explain clearly what you did to me first."
She gritted her teeth and issued a meaningless threat, "Otherwise, or I will..."
"Otherwise, kill me or die in front of me?"
Xu Shi smiled happily and didn't care at all.
"..."
Shen Qin suddenly became silent. This was indeed her idea... but she also knew very well that in her current situation, she did not even have these rights.
This made her suddenly want to cry. In fact, she didn't even realize that she was becoming more and more prone to such emotions. After being the leader of the "Forgotten" for so many years, her heart should have become cold... …
"That's alright, don't look like a victim, okay?"
Xu Shi joked, "Didn't you come over by yourself last night, crying and begging me not to leave? It's only because of my kindness that I fulfilled your little request... Say thank you, Director Xu."
"You're talking nonsense!"
Shen Qin yelled that she was crazy to do such a thing.
"I knew you wouldn't admit it."
Xu Shi was happy and took out a smooth stone that had been polished flat from his pocket.
This is one of the things Butler Chen sent last night. According to the introduction, it is used to record the scene. To put it bluntly, it is a camera... It is just the Hualan Empire version of the camera. The way of taking pictures is completely different.
So Xu Shi took it out for a test and recorded the beautiful moments last night.
"I thought it was fun so I recorded it. I never thought it would become popular.jpg"
"this……"
With such irrefutable evidence, Shen Qin couldn't refute it. She could only look at her appearance in the photo, her pretty face getting redder and redder.
What are you doing? !
"If you could always be so well-behaved, we don't know how much trouble we could save."
Xu Shi only found it interesting and started reading along with the picture, "Brother, don't leave, Xiaoqin will be obedient..."
"do not talk!"
Shen Qin was so embarrassed that she wanted to die, wishing she could find a crack in the ground and crawl into it.
How could he come up on his own initiative? Crazy, right? Looking at that posture, I almost surrendered myself to him... Is it a sword or not? !
"You must have done something..."
She sincerely didn't want to admit that she did it on her own initiative, so she retorted feebly.
"Huh? You won't admit it after you're happy, right?"
Xu Shi frowned, "Let's talk about something serious...how much do you remember about Shen He?"
"I……"
Hearing him ask this, Shen Qin would inevitably take the initiative to think about it, but the result was not good.
The fact is that there are less and less things about her brother in her memory. The effect of memory loss after body modification does not occur in order. Whenever she is at her peak, some memories about Shen He will be randomly erased.
This is actually more terrifying than a step-by-step memory erasure. If the memory about my brother in my mind is a complete puzzle, if you take one piece from the left and one piece from the right, there will only be fragments left in the end.
The result is that it is now difficult for her to connect many things together. To put it more recently, after reuniting with Shen He, the memories of the brother and sister being alone have become fragmented. Sometimes she can think of a certain day with her brother. It's rare to have a meal together, but the cause and effect have long since disappeared, leaving only that point in time.
This is especially true of childhood memories. Some scenes that should have been of a family of four getting along warmly with their parents, or having fun with their brother, but there is no trace of Shen He in them, as if they were photos that have been deliberately cropped.
The most intuitive consequence is that in her memory, Shen He has become increasingly unreal. Sometimes she even subconsciously wonders, does such a person really exist in her life?
Even if it was yesterday's dream - she did dream of some bad things. At that time, she and her brother were separated, and they had been separated for who knows how many years... But when she recalled it now, it seemed that this was not the case, but that she was the only one. People were displaced after their homes were broken and their lives were broken, and they finally stumbled into the territory of the "forgotten people".
"No, that's not right..."
She covered her head in pain, trying to piece together the fragments in her mind.
What is true and what is false?
She didn't dare to think about it, and the more she thought about it, the more her head hurt.
"I've told you a long time ago that with your current situation, don't be greedy for all the beautiful things easily."
Xu Shi gently tapped the armrest of the chair, "Suppressing the invasion of dopamine can preserve your memory longer... It seems you are not aware of this?"
Although it was useless for her to restrain him, after all, the initiative was in his hands.
"It's all you..."
Shen Qin looked at him feebly, but could not hear the anger in her words.
It wasn't that she didn't want to, but she suddenly realized that her hatred for Xu Shi...had become weaker and weaker.
It can only be said that this is inevitable - her hatred for Xu Shi originally came from Shen He, so with the loss of memory, such emotions will naturally become weaker and weaker.
Hating someone always requires a reason. If there is no reason, there will be no hate.
She has even become a little dependent on Xu Shi now - the pleasure he gives her makes her feel better physically and mentally than anything else, and this cannot be replaced by anyone or anything.
And the aura generated by Shen He's ability that remained in Xu Shi's body was always growing in her heart.
Of course, the contribution of "implantation of the will to be victimized" is also indispensable here - the influence of "entropy increase of evil thoughts" is always subtle, but "implantation of the will to be victimized" is more intuitive.
When training dogs, Xu Shi always shows no mercy at all and brings her the most extreme humiliation. However, under the influence of ability, this humiliation will deepen Miss Shen Qin's subconscious mind. of excitement.
Coupled with the impact of extreme pleasure on her brain, this twisted happiness has long taken root in her heart. Although she doesn't want to say it out loud, Shen Qin also knows that in her heart, she is already vaguely concerned about him torturing herself. Things have created a lot of desire.
Gu...
Taking in all this, Xu Shi just smiled.
Of course he knows what poor sister Shen Qin is in now. Isn't this the shape he expected?
"Okay, have a good rest."
So he stood up and said, "Since you don't want to be alone with me, shall I leave? Someone will bring you food in a while."
"……wait."
Shen Qin pursed her lips and called him in a low voice.
"Um?"
Shen Qin didn't know why she took the initiative to call him, she didn't even have a reason.
Maybe you really just want to spend a little more time with him? But she never wanted to admit it to herself.
So she changed the subject, "Now... what are your plans for "Tianli"? "
"A step-by-step plan, right?"
Xu Shi's answer was ambiguous, "We've always been doing this, right?"
"is that so?"
Shen Qin blinked, "But are the trade and other things you are doing now really related to fighting against the "law of heaven"? "
"...I ask you, what is the purpose of our going to sea?"
Xu Shi paused and asked.
"According to what you said, of course it is to find possible forces and unite them to fight against the "natural law". "
"Then what am I doing now?"
"Exchanging supplies with the Hualan Empire and training their soldiers?"
"That's it."
Xu Shi smiled, stood up and prepared to leave, "We don't know each other's reality, so all we can do is to unite everything that can be combined, and improve everything that can be improved, right?"
"So hurry up and recover. It's time to train the Imperial soldiers soon. Your role is also very important."
"oh……"
Shen Qin responded numbly, looking at his back and distracted for a moment.
It's undeniable that the two share some common goals.
Xu Shi left behind the prop that recorded the scene. She subconsciously picked it up and looked at it, feeling mixed emotions in her heart.
After all, it was rare for her to have a peaceful sleep last night.
This made her suddenly have the urge to say thank you to Xu Shi, but she swallowed it after thinking about it.
Although the enemies of her enemies are friends, the enemies of her enemies are always enemies to her.
The reason why such thoughts arise is just because of him...
Wake up!
Shen Qin clenched his fists, trying to make himself stronger.
However.
at this time.
Xu Shi, who had already left, suddenly returned.
"you……"
There was no response for a while, but he just lifted her quilt involuntarily.
Then, he stretched out two fingers toward the other party in a very familiar manner.
"I thought about it, and it's really sad that you don't admit it after you're happy."
The fingers stirred just right, "So, the sensitivity is twenty times."
"Well!"
…
a long time.
Looking at Shen Qin who was slumped on the bed, his eyes dull and his body twitching constantly, Xu Shi felt a little better and took a handkerchief to wipe it.
"Sure enough, bad women should be severely punished."
