The Killer's Cleansing Manual

Chapter 182 Replenishing Soup

She completely forgot the upbringing rule of "not walking fast", and only when Lin Shanjuan took care of her grievances could she finally put her mind to rest.

Lin Shanjuan was pushed back a step by her, but he could no longer hide the smile on his lips. He hugged her tightly and turned around in place before he could stand firm.

"Miss me so much?" She teased deliberately, wanting to see Qi Zhaomian's shy look.

But Qi Zhaomian was acting out of character. She hugged Lin Shanjuan tightly and nodded vigorously: "Yeah, I missed you a lot."

At this moment, it was as if a warm spring day suddenly burst into Lin Shanjuan's heart. Her heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and she was the one who blushed.

"...I missed you too."

Qi Zhaomian buried his face in her neck, breathing in her scent deeply, and responded softly: "I know."

Yue Liu left early with the servant who reported the incident. Now the autumn leaves were falling, but their love was as strong as spring, never fading.

A cool breeze blew by, and Lin Shanjuan subconsciously shivered, which immediately attracted Qi Zhaomian's attention, and he pulled her to take a closer look.

"But you're hurt?"

Lin Shanjuan's heart grew warmer. Once upon a time, she also longed for someone to say a few words of greeting when she returned home covered in wounds.

She once wanted to have someone who would have eyes full of her, who would truly care about her and feel sorry for her.

But it seemed like with each passing day, such a simple thought became more and more absurd. It was difficult for ordinary people to meet someone who truly loved them, let alone her, whose hands were stained with the blood of others and who could only live in darkness.

If such a person really exists and is willing to look at her with passion forever, she should not pollute that person and should not move her bloody world under that person's feet.

But now, God seemed to have really heard her wish from long ago and was really willing to give her such a person.

Lin Shanjuan was so happy, so delighted that she couldn't help but laugh. She shook her head and said, "I'm not hurt. I just miss you so much, Qi Zhaomian."

"Ok?"

"I love you so much."

Qi Zhaomian was stunned, as if countless gusts of wind rushed through her ears, taking away all her thoughts, leaving only one thought that became stronger and stronger.

She loves me so much.

"Tiny..."

Lin Shanjuan looked at her intently, pouring all his seriousness and concentration into his eyes.

"I'm willing to stay put, I'm willing to give up my hometown, and I'd rather stay by your side forever. As long as I can always love you and be loved by you, I'm willing to be displaced and wander around."

The sudden hot words burned Qi Zhaomian's heart. Her hands trembled slightly as she held Lin Shanjuan's wrist, her eyes sparkling with tears.

"Why...why are you suddenly saying this? What's wrong with you? Are you...leaving?"

Lin Shanjuan felt her growing panic and helplessly held her in his arms.

"No, I won't leave even if you chase me away from now on."

Qi Zhaomian's heart fell to the ground, and he let her hold him and move towards Heyang Palace.

She used to not understand why some people were willing to risk their lives for another person, but now she understands that what those people need may not just be the caress from their partner, but the peace of mind that only that person can bring.

For example, they are hugging each other and swaying in the courtyard at this moment, as if both of them have become children, you hug me, I hug you tightly, we talk, I listen to your heartbeat, you listen to my laughter, and we go back to the room so slowly.

Be it power, fame or fortune, what can compare to being able to stay with Lin Shanjuan and grow old together?

When we returned to Heyang Palace, warm bath water had already been prepared. Thanks to Xiao'er's attentiveness, she was able to pay attention to such subtle details.

Lin Shanjuan had just loosened his belt when he noticed Qi Zhaomian, whose head was only half exposed, and his fingers subconsciously tightened his belt.

"Who's peeking?"

Qi Zhaomian felt a little guilty, but when he thought of what Lin Shanjuan had just said, he felt more confident: "I."

Lin Shanjuan raised his eyebrows slightly: "If you peek at me taking a bath, you will be caught and taken a bath with me."

The figure on the screen retreated instantly. Before Lin Shan could even chuckle, Qi Zhaomian suddenly popped his head out again: "That's...okay."

Lin Shanjuan's ears instantly became red, so he simply turned his head away and stopped hiding.

The people on both sides belong to her, so it doesn't matter if she looks at them.

She prepared herself mentally, gritted her teeth, took off her clothes, and quickly submerged herself in the water, leaving only the area above her nostrils to observe secretly.

Qi Zhaomian's face gradually turned red as he looked at the scene under the bath water. After all, his mental strength was not that strong, so he retracted his gaze after a few seconds.

"Hurry up and wash up before eating."

Lin Shanjuan chuckled softly, agreed muffledly, closed his eyes and enjoyed the comfortable feeling of the warm water gradually draining away the fatigue in his body.

Qi Zhaomian pursed her lips unconsciously as she listened to the occasional sound of water. She couldn't tell what she was nervous about. In short, whether she opened her eyes or closed them, she could see Lin Shanjuan's naked back.

Although I have seen it before, it is completely different from what I saw just now.

Lin Shanjuan really didn't keep her waiting for long. After a while, the sound of water disappeared and a warm breath approached from behind. Qi Zhaomian subconsciously moved closer to her. It was strange that Lin Shanjuan seemed to have become a magnet that attracted her. As long as she felt this person around her, she couldn't help but want to get closer.

Lin Shanjuan naturally caught her and hugged her tightly from behind: "Let me see what delicious food you prepared for me tonight?"

Looking around, Lin Shanjuan saw the clay pot that had once been his nightmare, and his body suddenly became stiff.

"...May I ask? This is..."

Qi Zhaomian laughed, enjoying seeing her miserable expression: "Mammy said that you've been busy and toiled lately, so you need to replenish your energy."

Lin Shan smacked his lips, peeked into the soup in the earthenware pot, and felt a sense of powerlessness well up in his heart.

"Mianmian... can you really bear to see me being...?"

Qi Zhaomian raised a hand and rubbed her head. "We won't drink too much. It's Madam's idea after all. Besides, you've been out of the capital quite a lot recently, so you should replenish your energy. Just one bowl, okay?"

Who could resist being intoxicated by such a mellow voice like clear wine? Lin Shanjuan couldn't.

So she took the initiative to fill a large bowl and said with a bold attitude: "I'll drink it directly!"

Qi Zhaomian was amused and giggled. He held her hand, took the bowl from her, scooped it with a spoon, put it to his lips and whispered.

"Come."

The candlelight deepened Qi Zhaomian's tenderness. Lin Shanjuan's gaze was fixed on her lips. If he looked at her for two more seconds, the itch in his heart would rise.

Qi Zhaomian watched her gradually approaching him, and his direct gaze made her feel shy.

Qi Zhaomian lowered her eyes, and Lin Shanjuan's lips appeared in her sight. Qi Zhaomian became more and more shy, so shy that she didn't even know what to do.

Lin Shanjuan was about to succeed when suddenly a spoon was pressed against her lips.

She opened her eyes, and behind the spoon was a blushing face: "First... drink this first, then..."

Lin Shanjuan bit the soft flesh on his cheek, drank the soup in the spoon, and then kissed the red lips he had been thinking about.

"How can there be such a supplement?"
