…
Looking at Ji Ruxue who was sleeping soundly, Shen Ye did not leave the room. He just sat at the square table in the middle of the room. He poured himself a glass of water, drank it in one gulp, then supported his chin with his hand and closed his eyes to rest.
This night passed so quietly.
The next morning.
Ji Ruxue slowly opened her eyes and looked around in confusion. Her memory was still at the time when Shen Ye swung the sword last night. Now she found herself lying on the bed, and it seemed to be her own room. She suddenly doubted whether last night's experience was just a dream.
But the pain from the wounds on her body told her that everything that happened last night was real and not a dream.
"Did he send me back?"
Since it was not a dream, Ji Ruxue immediately thought of Shen Ye, and then immediately looked around the room, but did not see Shen Ye. She only saw her sword and the box containing the fire ganoderma on the square table in the room, as well as... a few familiar clothes.
"That seems... to be my clothes? Ah, my clothes!"
When she saw her outer clothes, Ji Ruxue screamed immediately, endured the pain in her body, and suddenly pulled away the quilt covering her body. Then she breathed a sigh of relief, and her underwear was still intact on her body.
At the same time, she also saw the bandaged area on her body. Although it was not her most private part, it was also not a place that could be seen or even touched by outsiders. Her pretty face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye. She snorted coldly and said to herself:
"He is indeed a pervert, and he didn't even ask for my consent..."
Although the voice was still cold, the tone did not carry the feeling of being aloof like yesterday.
"Where did he go?"
Ji Ruxue sat on the bed blankly for a while, and didn't see Shen Ye come back, so she couldn't help but think.
Because logically speaking, or according to the rules of the underworld, she was injured and the other party saved her, so he should stay and take care of her.
This was what some of her sisters in Huanyinfang who had experience in the underworld told her.
"Did he leave?"
When she thought about this, she felt inexplicably lost. They met three times by coincidence yesterday and were saved by him, but now she didn't even know his name.
At this moment, she suddenly remembered one thing, that is, the other person's room seemed to be right next to hers.
So she reluctantly got out of bed and walked towards her clothes. She planned to put on her clothes and go take a look next door.
However, her injuries had not yet healed completely. After trying her best, she could only take two steps before she had to stop to rest.
At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and Shen Ye walked in holding a wooden tray.
Looking at Ji Ruxue, who was standing by the bed wearing only her underwear and suddenly looked a little at a loss, Shen Ye simply glanced at her quickly, then freed his hand and waved, and the door behind him closed automatically.
Then, he walked to the square table, put the tray with breakfast on the table, then looked at Ji Ruxue with a smile and said, "If I were you, I should go back to bed and wrap myself in the quilt instead of standing there and letting other men feast their eyes on you."
"ah!"
After hearing Shen Ye's words, Ji Ruxue came back to her senses as if awakened from a dream. She returned to the bed with difficulty and wrapped herself in the quilt as Shen Ye instructed, even covering her head with the quilt.
After a long while, Ji Ruxue finally popped her head out from under the quilt. She looked at Shen Ye and whispered, "You didn't leave?"
"Can't you see me?" Shen Ye looked down at himself and asked with a smile: "Or do you really want me to leave?"
Ji Ruxue stopped talking immediately. She didn't know how to answer, so she could only force herself to keep a cold face and return to the expression she had when she first met Shen Ye yesterday.
But not long after, she couldn't help but ask, "Um...can I ask your name?"
Shen Ye was drinking a bowl of porridge from the tray at this time. Hearing this, he looked up at her and said, "Shen Ye."
"Shen Ye..." Ji Ruxue repeated Shen Ye's name in her mind, but after searching her memory, she had never heard of such a person in the martial arts world. She thought, "It seems that I can only go back to Huanyinfang and ask the empress."
Huanyinfang is a world-famous assassin organization and intelligence organization. Although it cannot be said to be omniscient, it has records of most of the masters in the world.
"Since you know my name, girl, shouldn't you also tell me...your name?" Looking at Ji Ruxue who had been silent for a long time, Shen Ye said dissatisfiedly.
"What did you say?" Ji Ruxue, who was awakened from her thoughts by Shen Ye's voice, asked confusedly. She didn't hear clearly.
Shen Ye knocked on the bowl with a spoon helplessly. Did this girl hurt her brain yesterday? Why was she always distracted?
He had no choice but to repeat: "May I ask your name, young lady?"
"Ji Ruxue." Ji Ruxue said hurriedly.
"Nice name." Shen Ye nodded and continued to drink his porridge.
After finishing his portion of porridge, Shen Ye wiped his mouth with his sleeve, then asked Ji Ruxue: "Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?"
"A little." Ji Ruxue nodded. She had been fighting all night and was injured. Her body had suffered a lot of damage and she was already hungry.
It's just... She glanced at the quilt on her body, then looked at Shen Ye and whispered, "Um, can you go out for a while? I want to get dressed first."
Although she knew that every visible part of her body was probably seen by the other party last night, she was unconscious at the time. Now that she has woken up, out of female modesty, she certainly cannot put on clothes under Shen Ye's gaze.
Shen Ye nodded and said, "Of course, but your clothes are covered in blood. I just went downstairs to the nearby tailor shop to buy you a few sets of clothes. Someone will deliver them to you soon. When the time comes... forget it, you can eat in your clothes first. I'll ask the waiter to boil some hot water. You can wash them casually and change your clothes."
"good."
Ji Ruxue nodded again at Shen Ye's thoughtful arrangement, and was a little surprised at the man's attentiveness.
Next, Shen Ye went out and prepared to go downstairs to ask the waiter to boil some hot water while Ji Ruxue was getting dressed.
However, just as he closed the door, he heard the sound of a chair falling to the ground in the room, followed by Ji Ruxue's cry of pain.
Shen Ye quickly opened the door and rushed in, and saw Ji Ruxue sitting on the ground. Next to her, there was an overturned chair.
"So, do you need my help?" Shen Ye scratched his head and asked.
