After the failed attempt to pretend to be dead, the sickly child was favored by the treacherous mini

He tiptoed into the house, placed the package on the table, and gently lifted the bed curtain.

In the dim morning light, Shen Jinmo saw the person lying on the bed, and his panicked heart found a harbor.

The person who was originally sleeping peacefully slowly frowned.

I don’t know if it was a nightmare?

The moon, which had not appeared tonight, secretly emerged from the clouds, and its clear light fell on Xie Nanxing, bringing holiness and tranquility.

The hand seemed to be dissatisfied with the wrinkles between Xie Nanxing's brows. It escaped Shen Jinmo's control and placed it lightly between Xie Nanxing's brows, intending to soothe all of Xie Nanxing's uneasiness.

As the hot and familiar temperature approached, Xie Nanxing felt a fire at the corners of his eyebrows, burning him awake.

He opened his eyes in a daze and looked at Shen Jinmo who was sitting beside his bed. His mind was blank at first, and then the dirty and chaotic memories came back to his mind.

With his hands tightly clutching the quilt, Xie Nanxing shrank to the corner of the bed, shaking uncontrollably all over.

Xie Nanxing was frightened by Shen Jinmo's close proximity and touching her.

Xie Nanxing's body began to vent her anger on Shen Jinmo, and Xie Nanxing's heart began to strongly resist the emotions she once felt.

Comrades-in-arms and confidants are the safest and most appropriate relationship between the two of them.

Shen Jinmo's eyes were full of deep emotion. He softened his gaze and lowered his voice: "Did I scare you?"

Without answering Shen Jinmo's question, nor putting down the quilt covering himself, Xie Nanxing asked in a trembling voice: "Why did you come back so early?"

"I'll be back when I'm done."

Pursing his lips and keeping silent, it was already time for Xie Nanxing to get up, so Shen Jinmo simply lifted the curtain and took the initiative to distance himself from Xie Nanxing.

Only after seeing Shen Jinmo walk out did Xie Nanxing put down the quilt in his arms.

After taking a few deep breaths, he mustered up the courage to put on his clogs and change his clothes: "Is everything going well?"

"It went well." He moved closer to Xie Nanxing out of habit.

But as soon as Shen Jinmo took a step forward, Xie Nanxing quickly stepped back.

Pulling the distance again, Shen Jinmo asked calmly: "Have you been doing well these days?"

His lips opened and closed as he whispered, "I'm at home, so everything will go smoothly."

"As long as it goes well."

Shen Jinmo began to wash up under the help of Mo Ping and did not try to get close to Xie Nanxing again.

Xie Nanxing was afraid of him.

The two of them finished their breakfast at the two ends of the octagonal table, and Shen Jinmo followed Xie Nanxing out the door as usual.

The carriage was right in front of them. People who would have been carried to the carriage by Shen Jinmo in the past now stepped on the stool and quickly climbed up the door to get into the carriage.

After sitting firmly, Xie Nanxing opened the window, but did not dare to look at Shen Jinmo: "Shen Jinmo, if you are busy, you don't have to see me off."

"The guards won't be back until tomorrow at the earliest. I'm not busy."

Xie Nanxing pondered for a moment: "Then do you want to get on the carriage?"

"Xie Nanxing, look at me and ask questions."

Shen Jinmo spoke in a very soft voice, as if he was coaxing Xie Nanxing.

He had never coaxed anyone before, but he was very skilled at coaxing Xie Nanxing.

"What?" Xie Nanxing looked up timidly, tears slowly filling up in her eyes, and bean-sized tears fell down with grievance.

I don't know whether I am feeling wronged for myself or for Shen Jinmo.

After taking two deep breaths, Xie Nanxing mustered up the courage to speak: "The carriage is big, you can get in and sit."

How could Shen Jinmo insist on staying with Xie Nanxing after knowing that Xie Nanxing was afraid of him?

"You take the carriage, and I'll ride you to school on horseback."

Shen Jinmo turned over and sat on the horse's back, and Mo Ping began to drive the carriage tremblingly.

Xie Nanxing leaned against the wall of the carriage and looked at Shen Jinmo's figure through the window.

Very nice-looking and handsome, totally different from those dirty things from yesterday.

But whenever Xie Nanxing got close to Shen Jinmo, he would feel panic.

Mo Ping can get close to him, Xiao Gao can get close to him, Cheng Yangqiu can get close to him, and Han Zhou can also get close to him.

Only Shen Jinmo can't do that.

The tears in his eyes just dried up and turned red again. Tears flashed in his eyes and Xie Nanxing felt so sad.

Shen Jinmo rode home overnight, definitely to see him, but now he couldn't even bear Shen Jinmo's affection.

Even before she fell in love, Xie Nanxing had never treated Shen Jinmo so coldly.

Shen Jinmo, who had been infatuated with him, must be very sad at this moment...

After a long silence, Xie Nanxing made a decision.

In order to reach the end point called Shen Jinmo, Xie Nanxing is willing to make any attempt.

He opened the carriage curtain again and looked at Shen Jinmo who was riding on a tall horse: "Shen Jinmo, I picked up a man and took him home yesterday. If he is willing, I want to keep him."

"Xie Nanxing, I can only feel at ease if the people around you are absolutely safe."

Neither Shen Jinmo nor Xie Nanxing have the qualifications to take in or save anyone, and even the slightest risk could lead to their doom.

"Yes, I know." Xie Nanxing nodded obediently: "Doctor Cheng examined him yesterday and said he might not survive."

"So I thought, if he managed to survive, and you found out about his background and thought he was okay, I would want him to stay with me and serve me."

Xie Nanxing felt that the man embodied his worst-case scenario for himself.

As a woman who is a man, she can still escape and survive even if she is abused in every way.

Xie Nanxing is building an absolutely safe boundary for himself.

Shen Jinmo shifted his gaze and looked at the slightly whitening skyline.

He and Xie Nanxing have been together day and night for so long, and this is the first time that Xie Nanxing told Shen Jinmo what he wanted.

It was Xie Nanxing who wanted it, not Xie Nanxing who wanted it for Shen Jinmo.

Silence spread, and Xie Nanxing felt that he was being too demanding: "If it's not convenient..."

"Okay." He suppressed Xie Nanxing's voice: "If you want him to serve you, he can serve you."

Regardless of whether that person's identity is suitable, Shen Jinmo will keep the person for Xie Nanxing.

Because Xie Nanxing wanted to.

The carriage stopped at the palace school. Shen Jinmo walked to the carriage and wanted to pick up Xie Nanxing.

Xie Nanxing stood on the carriage, clenching his palms tightly, his brows twisted into the shape of distant mountains in order to suppress the fear in his body.

Finally, Xie Nanxing opened his arms towards Shen Jinmo.

With his body shaking and his heart panicking, Xie Nanxing still wanted to be hugged by Shen Jinmo.

Xie Nanxing wanted to get closer to Shen Jinmo. Xie Nanxing tried hard to control his fear and walked towards Shen Jinmo.

The curve of Shen Jinmo's mouth is very small.

Through this small arc, Xie Nanxing saw that Shen Jinmo's depressed mood had improved.

Shen Jinmo is really easy to coax.

It was so easy to coax Xie Nanxing that she felt so distressed.
