Chapter 185: Love Growing Warmer

Chapter 185: Chapter 185: Love Growing Warmer

Shen Jinci knew that Bian Yue was being coquettish, and also knew that her words didn’t carry much practical significance, but were merely expressing emotions.

Still, he gently ruffled her hair and said gently, "Did your talk with Li Tingmo go smoothly?"

The smile on Bian Yue’s face faded, she recounted everything that had just happened at the Li Family, furrowing her brows with disquiet in her eyes, "Jinci, I don’t know if what Li Tingmo said is true or not, but he indeed has no need to lie to me about this."

"Who is Bian Shu?" Shen Zhaoli, who was listening in, asked curiously.

"My older cousin, six years older than me. When I was 13, she suddenly disappeared, everyone told me she had died. All these years, I never thought she could still be alive..." Bian Yue frowned, her expression sorrowful, "She was highly talented in piano. I once learned piano because I admired her."

"So you mean, your cousin Bian Shu might still be alive, and she’s in the hands of Li Tingmo?" Shen Zhaoli clicked his tongue lightly, his tone meaningful,

"Li Tingmo will not willingly hand over people, he asked you to withdraw the lawyer’s letter, that might just be his first step, afterwards, he will continue to threaten you using Bian Shu."

"Of course I know, but... I can’t pretend not to know if she might still be alive. My uncle, Bian Shu’s father, was killed on the street to save my father. Now, if she is still alive, I cannot not look for her."

Bian Yue said this awkwardly, "Jinci, if my cousin is still alive... Constantly changing decisions like this, it won’t be good for you."

"Why would it be? As long as it’s something Yueyue wants to do, I support it. If this person being alive makes Yueyue happy, then it’s worth it," Shen Jinci’s tone was nearly indulgent, he added: "As long as Yueyue is happy, that’s enough."

Bian Yue didn’t ignore the aching compassion in Shen Jinci’s eyes, she lifted her hand to caress his brow and cheekbones, heedless of Shen Zhaoli being there, and whispered, "You need to be happy too."

Shen Zhaoli thought, not knowing if it was because he had just spoken so many moving words, but at this moment, he perceived an illusion that Bian Yue and Shen Jinci were relying on each other for survival.

Much later, Shen Zhaoli realized, it was because love makes people weak...

That night, as she wished, Bian Yue moved into Shen Jinci’s room. Lying in bed, she looked at the bare decor of the room, and suggested putting a few vases in the room after a while.

Shen Jinci held her and asked what kind of flowers she liked.

Bian Yue said she didn’t know, she seemed to like all flowers.

After a pause, Bian Yue added, perhaps because in the past, she hadn’t received many flowers.

Her voice sounded a bit aggrieved.

Shen Jinci felt an intense pang of sympathy; he hugged her closer, saying she could have any flowers she wanted in the future.

In the dim night, their gazes colliding, the atmosphere suddenly turned ambiguous and tense.

Bian Yue felt Shen Jinci’s kiss fall, his hand gripping the back of her neck, it was an almost fierce kiss.

His emotions today were somewhat fearful of gaining and losing.

Bian Yue felt it at this moment, but didn’t understand why all of this was happening.

She felt almost out of breath, yet in this agonizing and pleasurable experience, she felt the heat and restlessness in her body.

As the atmosphere was about to spiral out of control, suddenly, Bian Yue felt a tightening pain in her abdomen.

Her voice unsteady, she said hoarsely, "Shen Jinci, I got my period."

The man’s movements halted, then he kissed her forehead, his actions smoothly controlled, he said gently, "I’ll go get you some things, wait for me."

Bian Yue nodded, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

Shen Jinci returned with sanitary pads, a heat patch, and a cup of hot water.

He said, "Go change into the sanitary pads and the heat patch first."

Bian Yue smiled and reached out to Shen Jinci, saying: "My stomach hurts, I can’t walk by myself."

Such childish words, yet Shen Jinci’s eyes lit up with a smile, he carried Bian Yue to the washroom, and did not forget to say: "I wasn’t considerate enough just now, how could I let you go by yourself? Sorry."

"Hmph." Bian Yue coquettishly said, seriously: "Then... your punishment is to hold me while we sleep tonight."

"Okay."

Later, Shen Jinci carried the changed Bian Yue back to the bed. Bian Yue pointed at the thermos on the bedside, deliberately making it difficult: "Shouldn’t it be brown sugar water?"

"Brown sugar does not relieve menstrual pain, I’ve added some ginger slices."

Bian Yue stretched her head to look, and indeed, there were a few thin slices of ginger at the bottom, the scent of ginger also heavy in the air.

Bian Yue frowned in disgust and quickly retracted her head, "It smells spicy."

After saying that, a small candy was stuffed into her hand.

Shen Jinci said: "Moon Princess, after you finish, you can have a candy."

Bian Yue finally satisfied, stopped nitpicking, and began to obediently drink the hot water.

When she finished, she rested against Shen Jinci’s chest, feeling drowsy, only feeling Shen Jinci’s hand on her lower abdomen, gently pressing rhythmically.

His palm was very warm and eased the discomfort.

Half asleep, Bian Yue asked him: "Shen Jinci, why are you so skilled at taking care of people?"

A young master from a rich family, grown up with wealth and honor, where would he need to take care of others?

The man fell silent for a moment, then softly said: "Learned little by little, if you are willing to learn, you will be able to master it."

Shen Jinci had indeed never taken care of anyone before, during those unpredictable days of survival, he barely managed himself, let alone care for others.

But ever since Bian Yue came to his side, he always thought about making her as happy as possible.

She risked coming to his side, Shen Jinci didn’t want her to risk shedding tears...

Bian Yue woke up, and saw a missed call from Li Sihe on her phone.

Bian Yue felt pain in her lower abdomen, guessing that Li Sihe’s call was about Bian Shu, so she called back.

"Bian Yue, you are awake." Li Sihe’s tone was gentle and soft, he softly said: "Today, do you want to come with me to see Bian Shu?"

Bian Yue’s sleepiness faded, she tightly held the phone, her voice cold: "Today?"

"Yes, I will accompany you."

Bian Yue frowned, whispered: "I need Shen Jinci to accompany me."

"Bian Yue, you know that with my proposal, outsiders are not allowed." Li Sihe said calmly: "If you want to meet Bian Shu, it can only be just you and me."

Bian Yue’s expression turned cold, "Is it because you’re afraid I will forcefully take her away?"

On the other end, Li Sihe was silent for a moment, then said: "Yes."

A fire surged in Bian Yue’s heart, her voice even colder: "Li Sihe, you are already physically ill, why make life so hard for yourself?"

"Do you really care about my feelings?" Li Sihe’s tone was sickly gentle, "After all this time, Yueyue, do you still care if I am suffering?"
