Chapter 40: People Have Come Again From The Alliance Head Residence (1/2)
Qing Yin was shocked to the point she stumbled and backed away in a fluster.
As she retreated she tripped over the doorstep. She fell with a ‘thump’ and her mind was jolted clear by the fall. She couldn’t leave like this, Master had even given a message.
She must go back and pass on the message.
But that scene just now was still in front of her eyes and refused to vanish. She couldn’t get over it at all. Just that morning Tang Doudou had helped her block a knife, yet how did she end up with Jun Xin this afternoon?
He was actually the first person she had ever liked.
She never had any delusions and only wanted to stay by him and attend to him during his daily life, even though she would eventually see him take a wife and have a child. Those were all things she could accept. Yet, right now, he was actually with a man.
Collapsed on the ground, the more Qing Yin thought about it the more hurt she felt. Originally she just shed tears out of grievance but gradually she started sobbing.
The two people that were caught committing adultery inside the room immediately felt the air turn awkward the moment Qing Yin left.
After Jun Xin roared, he became even more flustered.
Tang Doudou felt like her eardrums almost popped because of his roar and was just perplexed as to whether she should get up or not when she suddenly heard the ‘wuuwuu’ sound of crying come in from outside.
She recalled that when Qing Yin went back out just then, it seemed like she tripped and fallen.
So she hurriedly got up from Jun Xin’s body, “I’ll go take a look at her. She’s crying so hard, she probably took a really bad fall.”
Jun Xin didn’t speak but also didn’t stop her. In his clear pupils many expressions that couldn’t be made sense of appeared.
Tang Doudou was also extremely worried, so where would she have the time to pay attention to him? As she passed the bedside, she was originally going to grab the blanket to wrap around her body but unexpectedly saw some neat and tidy clothes next to the bed.
She paused, then directly grabbed them and carelessly pulled them on before running out to look for Qing Yin.
Jun Xin only got up from the ground after she went out the door. Looking at the pitch-dark night sky, he rubbed his lips.
“Qing Yin, Qing Yin, are you ok!?” When Tang Doudou ran out she was right in time to see Qing Yin still collapsed on the ground crying sorrowfully.
Tang Doudou thought that she was in pain from the fall and hurried over to help her up, “Hurry and get up, does it hurt? Why were you so careless?”
When Qing Yin heard her voice, the first thing she felt was shock. Why did he come out?
“What are you dazing out for? It’s the middle of winter, this ground is too cold. Hurry and get up.” Seeing she was still dazed, Tang Doudou decided to just bend down and lift her up. It was lucky that this guy Li Xueyi had good growing capacity. She was about a meter seven, that was the height she used to envy the most ah.
This height was much taller than normal girls. Qing Yin was probably around a meter six at most so when Tang Doudou bent down to lift her up, Qing Yin really did get lifted up.
But in reality it was also because Qing Yin’s body was really light, almost like a feather.
“Li gongzi.” Qing Yin only returned to her senses after Tang Doudou picked her up and she immediately tried to struggle free from Tang Doudou’s embrace.
Seeing that her legs were still moving agilely, it was either that she didn’t get seriously injured from the fall or that she was stubbornly enduring it.
Tang Doudou guessed that the latter scenario was more likely so she spoke worriedly: “Let’s go, let’s go inside! I’ll help you take a look and see if you got injured anywhere.”
Qing Yin lowered her eyes as she shook her head, “Thank Li gongzi for his concern. This servant is fine.”
He clearly liked men, so why must he treat so gently like this, disturbing her young lady’s heart?
“You were crying so hard, how could you possible be fine!?” Tang Doudou put on a strict expression and said firmly, “If you keep acting like this, I’ll get angry.”
“This servant really is fine.” Qing Yin clutched the hem of her clothes and from the corner of her eye she saw the rather neatly tied gauze on Tang Doudou’s hand. Her heart ached as she said: “This servant came because there’s something this servant must tell gongzi.”
“Whatever it is isn’t as important as you! Whether you’re fine or not I’ll know when I see!” How could Tang Doudou know all the things Qing Yin was thinking inside her heart? She bent down and was just about to lift up Qing Yin’s skirt to take a look.
Causing Qing Yin to hurriedly retreat in alarm, “This servant truly is fine. Master had this servant come to pass on the message that gongzi should rest properly. Master will invite gongzi over another day.”
“It was Baili Yu who told you to come?” Just then wasn’t Jun Xin saying that Baili Yu was looking for her for something? How come after a short while he wasn’t look for her anymore?
“It was Master that told this servant to come. And Master said pass on his thanks to gongzi for the spicy strips gongzi gifted. He said the intentions were received. At the next meeting there shall be a great thanks.” Qing Yin continued.
Hearing this, Tang Doudou was extremely surprised, “You said spicy strips?”
She already completely forgot about this crop. Those spicy strips were still next to that pond, how did it end up running to Baili Yu?
Well, no matter how it ran over there, from what Qing Yin said it seemed that Baili Yu was still pretty satisfied. Since it’s like this, doesn’t it mean she’s even closer to getting her poison cured?
Hey hey, she should get this matter resolved as soon as possible and then go back. Staying one more day in this place means being scared and on edge for one more day. And she also doesn’t know what’s with that Jun Xin, whether he still wants to kill her or not.
Absent-mindedly lost in thought, when she finally came back to her senses, she discovered that Qing Yin had already walked off at some unknown time.
Returning to the room, Jun Xin had run off as well.
How wonderful. This Qing Yin really came back with such timing ah! Otherwise, if it was a little later she would have become dead Beanbeans.
Closing the door, she lay on the bed exhausted. Hugging the blanket, she rolled back and forth, “Ah! Seriously about to go crazy! And this is only the second day since coming here ah!”
Ouch! What the toy?!
Tang Doudou sat up with a ‘whoosh’. What was it that stabbed her waist?
She crawled all over the bed to look for it. In the end she saw some familiar sparkles in her blanket and her water-like eyes immediately lit up.
Her gemstones!
They were actually here! They hadn’t been thrown away by JunXin ah!
That’s great! Tang Doudou curved her eyes and an expression of bliss appeared on her face.
Outside the window, Jun Xin retrieved his gaze. Who exactly was she? Why was she pretending to be Li Xueyi?
Does Baili Yu know her true identity?
Should he kill her or not?
