Chapter 370 : Green Plum Meets Wine 21 (1/2)

When Yu Jiu woke up, he found himself lying in a hospital bed. His injuries had already been bandaged. However, he could only see his bearded underling, and not Shi Sheng.

“Where is she?” His first instinct was to ask after her.

The man made a shushing gesture before pointing at a chair to the side.

Yu Jiu turned to look. Shi Sheng was curled up on the chair, sleeping. Her expression looked rather tired.

“Carry her over.”

“Ah?”

“Carry her over.” Yu Jiu repeated himself.

Bearded Guy made his way over and hesitantly touched Shi Sheng. Only after making sure that she wouldn’t react did he pick her up.

Shi Sheng’s brows furrowed as if she was about to wake up. Bearded Guy hurriedly made his way to Yu Jiu’s bed and set Shi Sheng down there.

She immediately relaxed again and snuggled closer to Yu Jiu. He pulled her into his arms, but the exertion pulled at the injuries on his back, causing it to hurt a bit.

“Young Master…”

“I’m fine.” Yu Jiu waved his hand, as he replied in a low voice.

Bearded Guy waited for a while before asking, “Young Master, what happened back then…”

‘What was with that explosion? Just what did Ms Sheng give Young Master to throw???’

Yu Jiu’s eyes immediately turned cold, as his voice took on a warning tone, “Do not mention this to anyone! I want you to take this to your grave!”

Bearded Guy’s expression took an odd turn. “Yes, Young Master.”

“Er… Young Master, how should we deal with this matter?”

“Let me think.” Yu Jiu reached out to massage his temples, a complicated expression on his face.

“Young Master, you’ve already fulfilled your promise to Mr Luo Sen. It’s that person who’s not letting you off, so you shouldn’t show him any mercy.” Bearded Guy pointed out.

Yu Jiu’s gaze lowered to look at the girl lying in his arms, his brows tightly knitted. After a long time, he spoke, “Do it then.”

Even if not for his own sake, for his little green plum he’d still have to get rid of that person.

“Yes.”

……

Shi Sheng woke up in the evening. The warmth beside her caused her to space out a bit.

She’d only ever slept this deeply by Feng Ci’s side.

Yu Jiu knew she was awake, but he didn’t say anything. Shi Sheng didn’t move either, remaining in that position.

“Xiaoxia-meimei, can you give me a chance?” Yu Jiu’s lips moved as his voice filled the otherwise silent room.

He got no reply.

Yu Jiu felt a bit disappointed. ‘Still won’t do, eh? Gotta work harder…’

“I’ll give you the answer on the day I turn 18.” Shi Sheng propped herself up. ‘I should be able to confirm whether or not he’s Feng Ci in two years.’

Although she was nearly certain that it was him, humans were creatures that needed absolute certainty to be reassured.

“Then I count as your admirer?”

‘I want her.’

Yu Jiu had never held such a strong wish before. From their meeting a year ago, this thought had always haunted him. He didn’t know why either.

It was as if…she was the one he had been looking for all this time.

And whatever he wanted, he’d use any means to obtain.

“Want to court me?” Shi Sheng casually tied her hair up. “That’ll depend on your performance.”

“Oh, I’ll definitely perform well.” Yu Jiu gave her a smile filled with resolve.
