Chapter 423: Chapter 422 Indirect Warning

Soon, Shen Xinhe’s entire back was exposed.

The plaster that had been applied was now dried and crusty around Shen Xinhe’s body.

Zhang Xiaoshan gently flicked it with his finger.

The crust immediately shattered like smashed glass, falling off.

This revealed the true skin underneath.

"Wow!"

Zhang Xiaoshan’s eyes lit up.

He saw that the densely packed wounds on Shen Xinhe’s body had all scabbed over.

Generally, the scabs should be slightly higher than the surrounding skin, but the scabs on Shen Xinhe’s body were surprisingly flat.

Zhang Xiaoshan gently scraped off a piece of scab with his fingernail, revealing the new skin underneath, which was redder and softer.

"How is it?"

Shen Xinhe impatiently twisted his head around to look at the wound on his lower back.

"Wow, it’s healed this much?"

Observing the changes, Shen Xinhe couldn’t wait to exclaim.

Zhang Xiaoshan nodded.

"The medicine I formulated for you is a long-lost recipe, and it was my first time using it. It might also be because the Red Training Snake King’s heart and flesh mingled with the Sun and Moon Essence, so the effects are several times stronger than I expected."

"Following this trend, I estimate that your injuries should heal completely in no more than half a month."

"Half a month?"

Shen Xinhe was thrilled.

"Then in half a month I can leave this godforsaken place?"

Zhang Xiaoshan glared at Shen Xinhe.

"Listen to yourself, talking as if my sister-in-law has been mistreating you, so eager to leave."

Shen Xinhe explained.

"You and your sister-in-law are good people, and I’m grateful, but I really don’t want to stay in this place a day longer than I have to. I’d leave today if it were possible."

"However, I won’t forget what I promised you. Receiving your help, I... I will give myself to you."

"Whenever you want me, just come."

As he spoke, Shen Xinhe shyly lowered his head.

This bashful appearance was truly tempting.

With a physique far surpassing that of a professional model and a face that would surely be breathtaking after recovery, it was impossible for Zhang Xiaoshan not to be tempted.

Such a divinely beautiful creature, previously out of his league, was now within his reach—what a delightful experience that could be.

Unfortunately, this was his own home, and his sister-in-law, Yu Xiuxiu, was just next door.

Zhang Xiaoshan had the desire but not the nerve.

"Nonsense, I am a true gentleman, how could I possibly think of you in that way?"

He asserted righteously.

Shen Xinhe looked up, his eyes carrying a hint of teasing.

"You’re no gentleman; do you think I’m a fool? You’re just afraid of your sister-in-law, aren’t you?"

"Afraid of my sister-in-law? I’m a grown man, what should I be afraid of?" Zhang Xiaoshan blustered.

"Hehehe."

Shen Xinhe laughed at Zhang Xiaoshan’s bravado.

"Alright, if you’re not afraid of your sister-in-law, then come change my dressings."

"How about it?"

"Do you dare?"

Shen Xinhe stared intently at Zhang Xiaoshan, his gaze indescribably quirky.

There was doubt, and even more teasing.

Those phoenix eyes kept throwing glances at Zhang Xiaoshan.

It was as if he was casting some kind of seductive spell, making Zhang Xiaoshan’s heart itch uncontrollably.

His desire to take Shen Xinhe right then and there was incredibly strong.

"You think I don’t dare?"

Zhang Xiaoshan boldly reached out and pinched Shen Xinhe’s chin.

Then his fingers slid down, landing on Shen Xinhe’s collarbone.

It seemed that he intended to go further.

"Thud, thud, thud, thud..."

At this moment, Shen Xinhe’s heart was pounding furiously. She had only intended to tease Zhang Xiaoshan, but he had taken her seriously.

What should she do now?

She was very nervous.

"Dinner’s ready!"

Suddenly, the voice of his sister-in-law Yu Xiuxiu called out from outside.

Clunk!

Zhang Xiaoshan got a shock, instantly sobered up, and withdrew his hand.

"Oh, I just remembered I still have something to do. I need to go back to the infirmary. Let’s have my sister-in-law change your dressing."

Having said that, Zhang Xiaoshan fled the room as if escaping a disaster.

"Phew."

With her heart still pounding, Shen Xinhe let out a long sigh of relief.

"Giggle, giggle, giggle." She smiled knowingly at the sight of Zhang Xiaoshan running away.

"This kid is kind of interesting."

After dinner, Zhang Xiaoshan planned to go to the infirmary.

"Wait, I want to pick something up from school. It’s too dark, and I’m scared. Could you come with me?"

Xu Jing ran to the front door and caught up with Zhang Xiaoshan.

Feeling guilty, Zhang Xiaoshan glanced at Yu Xiuxiu, who was standing in the courtyard.

"Sister-in-law, is that okay?" Xu Jing also turned to ask Yu Xiuxiu.

By this time, she too started calling her ’sister-in-law.’

Yu Xiuxiu felt a bit panicked. It was a dark and windy night, and with a lone man and a lone woman, what if...

But she still said stubbornly,

"Sure, Little Shan, escort Mr. Xu to the school."

"Oh..."

Yu Xiuxiu glanced at the time.

"It’s already 8:30. It’s getting late, come back early."

After speaking, she gave Zhang Xiaoshan a deep look.

Clearly, her words were not for Xu Jing’s ears but for Zhang Xiaoshan.

An indirect warning.

Zhang Xiaoshan, who had only sort of believed Shen Xinhe’s suspicions earlier, now believed them mostly, realizing that his sister-in-law had Xu Jing move in just to keep an eye on her and prevent any mischief with him.

"Okay."

"Let’s go."

He took Xu Jing and left.

All the way, Xu Jing chatted incessantly, but Zhang Xiaoshan was continuously thinking about his sister-in-law.

His sister-in-law was hot and cold with him, yet she wouldn’t let other women get too close to him. What did that mean?

"Did you hear what I said, are you deaf?" Xu Jing exploded after receiving no responses for a long while.

"Hmph, I’m not talking to you anymore."

She waved her hand, fuming, and walked fast ahead toward the school.

Women can change their faces faster than flipping a book.

"Ah, someone has broken into my room!"

Xu Jing screamed as soon as she entered the house.

"This is bad."

Zhang Xiaoshan, following behind, thought of something and hurried inside the house.

But it was already too late.

"What is this thing?"

"This, this..."

"Who wiped their snot on my little quilt?"

Xu Jing picked up her little quilt with a cartoon rabbit design, looked at the crystallized substance on it, and her eyes filled with disgust.
