Su Xin was lowering his head and sobbing softly, his nose was painfully blocked.
A pair of warm palms touched his head, "Fool."
He looked up, his eyes were red and swollen from crying, and his nose was also crimson.
"Master Wife...don't touch me anymore, I already..."
Lin Shu gently took his hand and stared at the red mark on his wrist, with a hint of distress in his eyes.
She squatted down, her height was the same as Su Xin's, and leaned forward.
His lips kissed the scar, gently, softly and comfortingly, bit by bit, staining that circle with her traces.
Su Xin's eyes widened and she said, "My wife..."
"It's okay now, this place is full of my breath."
Lin Shu sat back next to him and held his waist, "You are my husband, forever."
"Chastity is never physical, and you don't need to blame yourself. It was me who failed to protect you. Are you willing to forgive me?"
Su Xin bit her lip and shook her head desperately.
"Does that mean you don't want to forgive me?"
"No, I didn't blame the wife, and the wife was right, it was the bad guy..."
Lin Shu wiped away the tears on his face with his sleeves and said softly: "You are right, that man is a bad person. We cannot punish ourselves for the bad person's mistakes."
"My little Su Xin is very good and innocent. I don't want to be separated from Su Xin."
"Is there anything else that doesn't feel right? Let's go home after seeing the doctor, okay?"
Su Xin pursed her lips and couldn't help but shed tears again.
Lin Shu was helpless, "Why are you crying again? Or are you unwilling to go home with me?"
"The attendant cries with joy. I am happy that the wife does not despise the attendant..."
Lin Shu's face almost turned red when she saw him twitching, so she simply kissed him directly at the end of his eyes, her bitter tears staining her lips.
"Don't cry anymore. I won't like it if you cry ugly."
Su Xin immediately covered her mouth with her hands, blinked her wet eyes, then lowered her eyes and said in a muffled voice: "I want to go home with my wife..."
Lin Shu took Su Xin's hand and walked home. Xian stretched out his free left hand to Shen Shi'an who was quiet beside him.
Hold their hands tightly in the palm of your hand, the rain and dew will both touch each other, never playing favorites.
"We, as a family, should always be together."
Shen Shi'an's left hand, hidden under his sleeve, was clenched into a small fist, trembling slightly.
His eyes looked deeper and deeper into the hands of the two people intertwined.
…
Lin Shu finally coaxed the frightened Su Xin to sleep, and then went out to start cooking lunch.
She looked at Shen Shi'an. Neither of them were good cooks.
"You light the fire and I'll cook."
No matter what, he couldn't go hungry, so Shen Shi'an stuffed the firewood tremblingly, and the kitchen was filled with white smoke.
Lin Shu cut the meat, one slice thin, one slice thick, and she shed tears while cutting. There was nothing she could do, the smoke was too smokey.
"Shen Shi'an, I didn't light a fire for you, why are you still smoking so much?"
Shen Shi'an took out a piece of firewood and said, "I don't know, the fire just won't burn."
Miss Lin had obviously made the fire, but he gently put the firewood in, and most of the fire was extinguished with a snap. It was really strange.
Lin Shuxu squinted his eyes and moved closer to the stove. He almost laughed out loud when he saw the firewood stuffed in the stove.
She pulled out more than half of it, and the fire grew stronger. "You have too many firewood, and some of them are too thick and difficult to burn. Please choose some thinner ones."
Lin Shu was very close to Shen Shi'an, and as he moved, his body slightly brushed against his shoulder.
Shen Shi'an's ears turned red and he stepped back.
Lin Shu felt his movements and turned around, "What's wrong? Did I press you?"
The smoke in the kitchen slowly dissipated, and Shen Shi'an could see Lin Shu's red eyes and wet eyelashes.
There is also a dark finger print on his forehead.
"Pfft."
He couldn't help but laugh out loud. It turned out that women were like this when cooking.
"Miss Lin, your forehead is dirty."
Lin Shu reached out and touched his forehead. The black ash on his hand made his forehead even darker.
Shen Shi'an subconsciously reached out and wiped the fingerprints with his sleeve.
"Your hands are dirty, let me help you."
Lin Shu looked at the palm of his hand and saw that it was accidentally infected by drawing firewood just now.
Shen Shian's movements were gentle and focused, and his amber eyes were extremely serious.
For a good person like Miss Lin, if he was the one suffering today, would she come to save him?
Lin Shu saw that the scar on his forehead was still there and asked him, "Didn't you take any medicine? The scar hasn't gone away yet?"
Shen Shi'an stopped, suddenly retracted his hand, then picked up firewood and stuffed it into the stove.
"I used it, maybe I didn't use it enough."
Lin Shu stood up, washed her hands again, and started chopping vegetables again, "You don't have to be frugal, there is still plenty of ointment. Men love beauty, so just use it."
Shen Shi'an pursed his lips and looked away, seeing that one piece of meat on the chopping board was big and one was small.
He couldn't help but curved his lips, and the ends of his eyes were also stained with a smile.
Then he thought of something and looked disappointed again.
"He is not worthy of such a good Miss Lin..."
Lin Shu took out a bowl of porridge and put it aside, waiting for Su Xin to wake up before giving it to him.
He went to the main room with a plate of black vegetables, and Shen Shian followed behind with two bowls of porridge.
"Although this meat doesn't look good, it can fill your stomach at least. Just stick to it."
Lin Shu picked up a chopstick of vegetables and stuffed it into his mouth. He took a big sip of the porridge and swallowed it without chewing.
She was confident in her cooking skills, and if she chewed it, she might have to spit it out.
Shen Shi'an's face wrinkled up at this moment. How could this meat be bitter?
And it’s still raw in the middle…
He took a sip of porridge to suppress the smell of meat, then picked up a piece of meat and chewed it slowly.
Although it tastes bad and not as good as the delicacies from the mountains and seas in the house before, I feel at ease eating it.
After the meal, Shen Shian took the initiative to wash the dishes. Lin Shu looked at Su Xin and saw that he was sleeping peacefully, so he did not disturb him.
"Miss Lin, do you want to go out? This is the handkerchief I embroidered. If you go out on the street, sell it. It will bring some income to your family and you can use it to repair the roof."
The roof of this house is not repaired well, and the moonlight shines through at night. If it rains, it will definitely leak.
Lin Shu took the embroidered handkerchief with a hibiscus flower embroidered on it, which looked very exquisite.
"Did you sell it to repair the roof at home?"
Shen Shi'an nodded.
"I repaired this roof, but my technique was not very good and it was not tight enough."
"I'm just about to find someone to repair it. Once you sell this veil, I'll give you the money. You can use it yourself. The money at home is enough, so you don't have to worry."
After saying that, he folded the veil, put it in his chest, and went out.
Shen Shi'an's face warmed slightly. He was naturally happy that his work was treated well by others, but he was still a little embarrassed when he thought that the handkerchief he had embroidered by himself was put into his chest by Miss Lin.
He turned around and entered Su Xin's house, thinking about taking care of it.
The wind from opening the door picked up the pages of the book on the table. He saw the pattern on the book at a glance, and his face turned red.
"What a pervert! He actually reads this kind of book with... that kind of posture!"
