Take a Sigh

On the first day Duan Yanchun and Mrs. Duan returned to Huajin City, they brought their two sons to visit Shen's house, which seemed a bit subtle to outsiders.Thinking of Shen Zhuo's frequent visits to Wanbaolou recently, they couldn't help wondering if the Shen family had reached an agreement with Wanbaolou.

You must know that Mrs. Duan remembers what happened back then, and has not set foot in Huajin City for four years.If it wasn't for the fact that the two families had the intention of reconciling, how could Mrs. Duan go there?

Amidst the outsiders' discussion, the Shen family was happy and harmonious.A few adults had something to discuss, and the juniors gathered at a table by themselves.

At this time, Ling Shuangxue's identity seemed a bit embarrassing. With his qualifications, he should have a drink with the adults, but he is not good at talking with them, so it would be embarrassing to stay.

But if you are crowded with the juniors, and you are afraid that they will be jealous of your identity, you will not be able to talk about the topic at the dinner table.Ling Shuangxue was hesitating whether to find an excuse to leave, but Shen Zhuo grabbed her wrist.

Shen Zhuo took him to the table with a tough attitude but considerate enough to take care of Ling Shuangxue's emotions during the table.Among the crowd sitting around, except for Madman Cao who was more obviously afraid of Ling Shuangxue, everyone else was relaxed.

Wen Ren has such a personality, but Duan Hanzhou has seen the tricks between Shen Zhuo and Ling Shuangxue.He tried some things at the wine table, but Shen Zhuo stopped them with a few words.

Shen Zhuo didn't allow Ling Shuangxue to drink alcohol, for fear that the situation of that day would recur again.

But it is also strange to say that Shen Zhuo, who was drunk and arrogant in the Zongmen Grand Competition back then, has drunk a lot since returning home, but he has never had such a gaffe again.

Shen Zhuo thought of the strong discomfort he felt after waking up, and suspected that his abnormality that day had nothing to do with the wine, but something to do with wine making.

Xu Qi also said that the raw materials of flower brew are unique to his hometown.Maybe you can find a time to ask Crazy Cao to get some for him to try.

The adults had been talking for a long time, and the juniors were all gone, and they hadn't finished talking yet.Duan Hanzhou thought that there was still a younger sister at home, so he didn't want to wait any longer, so he took Duan Wuyun and left first.

The crowd dispersed quickly, and after a while, only Shen Zhuo and Ling Shuangxue were left.Shen Zhuo's body is full of alcohol, his eyes are like two points of cold stars, shining brightly, and then stained with a little smile, his affection is like the sea, which makes people's heart palpitations unbearable.

He looked at Ling Shuangxue, and although he didn't say anything, he had already expressed his intention clearly.After being shut out for many days, he also wanted to get close for a while.

"Is Master's injury okay?" Shen Zhuo approached and asked with concern.

Ling Shuangxue knew what he meant, but pretended not to know, and said: "It was only because you didn't notice that day that You Huo came out to make trouble. Now that you have taken the medicine, you don't need to worry."

"Medicine?" Shen Zhuo raised his eyebrows, Ling Shuangxue did get medicine from Shi Yuanye when he went out, but those medicines didn't help his injury much, they were just for daily recuperation.

"When Wen Runing came, he brought me a new medicine." Ling Shuangxue said calmly, as long as Shen Zhuo couldn't see the pill, it wasn't something worth hiding.

Shen Zhuo was speechless, and his thoughts were complicated for a while.It wasn't a day or two before Wen Runing arrived, and Ling Shuangxue hadn't heard about the medicine before, and Ling Shuangxue didn't mention the medicine until that night when Guohuo retreated.

From this point of view, can Shen Zhuo expect that Ling Shuangxue will not reject his approach, otherwise why didn't he choose the simpler method of taking medicine?

Shen Zhuo was overjoyed in his heart, and the smile in his eyes deepened.Even if Ling Shuangxue is tactfully refusing to approach him now, he is not angry.

He just looked at Ling Shuangxue like this, until his whole body felt uncomfortable and his earlobe was red, he restrained himself a little.

"Since the master has the medicine now, the disciple will not disturb your rest." Shen Zhuo saluted Ling Shuangxue respectfully, if the smile in his eyes was not so deep, Ling Shuangxue would have thought he had awakened.

Shen Zhuo backed down because he was afraid that he would lose control. During these years of cultivation in other worlds, he kept himself clean, without any emotional entanglement, and his self-control was amazing.But in the face of Ling Shuangxue, this proud capital became fragile and vulnerable.

He was also afraid that if he did it again, he would push people further away.

Ling Shuangxue breathed a sigh of relief, but faintly disappointed.It's fun to tease the apprentice, but it's boring if the apprentice doesn't tease him.

Yi|Yexiang was safe and sound, the days passed quickly afterwards, Shen Zhuo was busy with the Shen family’s affairs, he was practicing and refining alchemy when he was free, Ling Shuangxue was also refining weapons, so the two separated for a while, and they were inseparable if they didn’t get together .

There is nothing wrong with the bright building of Wanbao Building, while the dark building is managed by Duan Wuyun, so Duan Yanchun is extraordinarily leisurely.After visiting Shen's house that night, they didn't know what the adults talked about, and the batch of pills that were in the Shen's warehouse was transported away.

Shen Zhuo reminded the weirdness of the batch of pills, and Duan Yanchun said that he knew it well, not long after, the batch of pills refined by the Shen family returned to the Shen family.

It turned out that after Shen Xiao and Duan Yanchun conspired with each other, they used their own methods to treat their own bodies. They used extremely high profits to trick that sect, and they sang an empty plan to exchange all the pills.

The Duan family has no shortage of masters who can steal the beam and switch positions. That little sect probably thought it was his bad luck at the moment, and didn't notice the abnormality.

Seeing the gloating expressions of the two elders, Shen Zhuo knew that the little sect was going to end.Duan Yanchun and Shen Xiao get together, if they don't do something, they won't feel comfortable.

Duan Yanchun was in a very good mood at the moment, so he caught Shen Zhuo and asked him about the fourth-grade Xisui pill, Shen Zhuo knew everything, and took the pill for Duan Yanchun to observe.

Duan Yanchun was very satisfied with Duan Qiu's handling, and said: "The Wen family is powerful. Wen Runing is not only a noble character, but also a senior brother of yours. He is indeed a good partner. But between you and him, there are some private matters that need to be resolved as soon as possible. .”

Duan Yanchun meant something, and Shen Xiao at the side also suppressed his smile.Their contacts with Gong Shutong have not been broken, and they know a thing or two about Gong Shutong's marriage.

As elders, they used to think that Shen Zhuo and Gong Shutong were a good match, but their adults had nothing to say about feelings, and it was only useful if the children themselves thought it was feasible.

Marriage can be forced, but happiness cannot.So despite some regrets in their hearts, the elders still respect the decision of the public loser and Gong Shutong.

Shen Zhuo understood what the two of them meant, and he had also felt before that it was really not okay to hang on to this matter.It happened that he was going to discuss the alliance with Wen Runing, so he said it all along the way.

The place where Wen's family is located is particularly conspicuous, and Shen Zhuo can find it without asking.It happened that Wen Runing was here today, and after Shen Zhuo expressed his intention to come, the Wen family didn't stop him, and they wouldn't stop him either.

When Shen Zhuo went upstairs, he met Su Yi and Su Qi. They were still wearing the Wen family's costumes. Seeing Shen Zhuo was stunned, the three of them looked at each other speechlessly, and the atmosphere was a bit awkward.

In the end it was Shen Zhuo who broke the situation, he nodded to the two as a greeting.

Su Qi rubbed the back of his head awkwardly, he had complicated feelings towards Shen Zhuo.On the one hand, it was because of those rumors, and on the other hand, it was because of Shen Zhuo's life-saving grace.They are not ungrateful people, but there is always a hurdle in their hearts.

In contrast, Su Yi reacted quickly. He raised his hand in return, and there was nothing unusual about it.

Shen Zhuo didn't waste too much time here, and went upstairs quickly.He met Uncle Min who rescued Wen Runing that day in front of Wen Runing's room. The old man and a guard stood outside the door, and he was a little surprised to see Shen Zhuo coming.

Shen Zhuo performed a junior salute and asked Wen Runing if he would be here.Uncle Min looked at him, his eyes were shining brightly, and he gave way to Shen Zhuo after saying that he was there.

Shen Zhuo thanked him for leaving, but the guard was hesitant to speak. Seeing Shen Zhuo walking away, he couldn't help but said: "Elder Min, the young master ordered that outsiders are not allowed to disturb..."

"How can Shen Zhuo be considered an outsider?" Uncle Min squinted his eyes, and a flash of calculation flashed in his eyes.

The door of Wen Runing's room was not closed, the door was ajar, Shen Zhuo stopped outside the door, knocked on the door first and heard Wen Runing's response before pushing the door open.

Uncle Min said that Wen Runing was here, but he didn't say that Wen Runing had guests here.

Wen Runing thought that the person who came was from the Wen family, but he didn't expect it to be Shen Zhuo.

At this moment, he was sitting by the table with his upper body naked. There were bandages and some wound medicines on the table, and Gong Shutong was also there.Xu Shi's breathing was unstable, his pale face was flushed abnormally, and Gong Shutong was still holding the medicine in his hand.

"I didn't seem to come at the right time." Shen Zhuo's eyes dimmed, realizing that Uncle Min might have done it on purpose.

Between Wen Runing and Gong Shutong, the biggest and most invisible obstacle is Shen Zhuo. It's okay for the people of the Wen family to consider Wen Runing, but it will embarrass Gong Shutong.

If Shen Zhuo is interested in Gong Shutong, how should Gong Shutong deal with himself at this moment?

Gong Shutong froze in place, her face blushing, she looked at Shen Zhuo, and didn't know what to say for a while.

Wen Runing responded quickly, he comforted Gong Shutong and asked her to leave first.Gong Shutong opened his mouth, put down the wound medicine and left.Passing by Shen Zhuo, she was a little sorry, and looked at Shen Zhuo with apologetic eyes.

There was nothing wrong with her and Wen Runing, but Shen Zhuo shouldn't have bumped into her in such a passive situation.

Shen Zhuo smiled at her, expressing that he was not angry.

Gong Shutong didn't close the door when he went out, Wen Runing looked at Shen Zhuo and said, "The person who helped me with the medicine has left, can my little brother help me?"

There was an indistinct smell of blood in the room, and it seemed that it had been dealt with once.

Shen Zhuo walked behind Wen Runing, besides a few new wounds, there were mottled old scars on his back, which looked very similar to Duan Qiu's corroded face.

Shen Zhuo remembered that Wen Runing was corroded by venom when he was saving people in the secret realm, and this injury was probably left at that time.It's okay to cover up with clothes on weekdays, but it looks shocking when you take off your clothes.

Shen Zhuo sighed softly, he took the wound medicine and looked at it, it is a good medicine for trauma, the medicine is mild, and the problem is not serious.While bandaging Wen Runing, he asked, "Why did senior brother get hurt?"

The members of the Wen family surrounded Wen Runing no matter in the open or in the dark.It's hard for Shen Zhuo to imagine how Wen Runing would be hurt like this under such circumstances.

"The rabbit is forced to bite people, it's not a problem." Wen Runing said lightly, the Wen family also has enemies, and with his frequent attacks recently, these things are unavoidable.

After he answered Shen Zhuo, he chuckled and said in a low voice, "I thought you would ask about me and Gong Shutong first."

In this matter, Wen Runing felt a little bit guilty towards Shen Zhuo. Shen Zhuo had an appointment with Gong Shutong, and he seemed to be taking advantage of it, and seized the opportunity when Shen Zhuo was not around.

Shen Zhuo paused for a while before bandaging, and said distressedly: "Should I call you senior brother or brother-in-law in the future? You can't let me call Tongtong sister-in-law."

Wen Runing was taken aback for a moment, Shen Zhuo's words went too far, he couldn't react for a while.He and Gong Shutong are in love, but they haven't talked about marriage yet.

Shen Zhuo's voice was brisk, as if joking, and he didn't want Wen Runing to be too nervous.

"I know what the elder brother wants to say. Is it because of the so-called marriage contract? Tongtong and I are brothers and sisters. Seeing that she is not restrained and finds someone I like, I am too happy for her. How could it be?" Beat mandarin ducks with sticks?"

Wen Runing asked Shen Zhuo about the marriage contract, but Shen Zhuo didn't hear it at the time.Under Wen Runing's calm persuasion at the beginning, what was hidden was the forbearance of regressing for love.
