Quick Wear: Welcome to the Crazy Scene

Chapter 62: Obeying the Law in the Machiavellian Literature (22)

His pupils shrank, his fists clenched, and his nails scratched the palms of his hands.

The night was dark, enough to hold all the desires. Sparks flew, and his voice was a little hoarse, but full of determination: "I want to."

It's not that I can, but that I want to.

"About reason or emotion?"

"It's what love tells you." Xiao Jiangran stared at her without blinking, locking her in the dim firelight.

He seemed to be able to hold her in his arms with ease.

However, he didn't dare to gamble, as he couldn't afford any loss.

So he stood quietly beside the carriage, looking up at Shen Jin, who was as bright as the moon.

Now Shen Jin had to take it seriously.

This was the first time that Xiao Jiangran was so determined to fight for his own selfish desires and showed his desire for personal gain in front of her.

She should help him no matter what.

Shen Jin suppressed his inexplicable emotions and spoke, bewitchingly: "Tell me who she is, and I will help you."

"You know, I always help you..."

Xiao Jiangran's eyes flashed with confusion, and he almost said the name. But the moment he said it, he suddenly bit the tip of his tongue.

The pain mixed with the smell of blood sobered him up. He swallowed the two unspoken words into his mouth, without a trace of strangeness on his face.

"Thanks, but I'd like to try it myself."

Xiao Jiangran refused, his eyes so hot that they could melt people.

Unfortunately, the scorching gaze turned into a small ball and rolled into Shen Jin's space without causing any ripples.

Shen Jin only felt that his eyes were particularly bright and his fighting spirit was particularly high.

"Okay." She responded listlessly. She would really be angry if she didn't hear her name.

That shouldn’t be the case. How could it be useless?

Then he thought again, Xiao Jiangran, as her "food", was not normal to begin with, so it made sense that he was immune to her abilities to a certain extent.

I still feel angry when I think about it.

"You'd better hurry up." The voice was a little low, and even more depressed than usual.

This is really rare.

"Why?" Xiao Jiangran was curious.

"I will be too late..." However, this sigh disappeared in the wind, and no one heard it except Shen Jin.

With Shen Jin leading the way, the trip was especially smooth. Over the next few days, there wasn't even a single rainy day, and the entire journey to Kyoto was smooth.

Xiao Jiangran is going to take Ren Han to report to the cabinet.

Before leaving, he gave Shen Jin a bunch of keys and took her to a house to stay.

This house looks quite old. The place where the plaque was originally hung is now empty, covered with dust and cobwebs.

Pushing open the rotten wooden door, the sunlight shone through, and the dust rolled up and down, and then life came in.

Shen Jin moved very carefully, fearing that he would use too much force and pull the wooden door down.

She looked around the courtyard. The house occupied less than two acres, which was a very small area in the courtyard.

The courtyard is a bit dilapidated, but one can still vaguely see its past.

After leaving the tree, the peach tree continued to thrive. Unfortunately, it was the wrong season, and the bare branches, growing among the withered grass, looked desolate.

Shen Jin brushed past the abandoned swing next to the peach tree and could imagine someone playing there.

She walked around again, opened the door of every room and looked in, and was very satisfied.

Xiao Jiangran was incredible. He had managed to find such a suitable house without making any noise. She thought he was also staying at an inn in Kyoto.

While the people haven't come back yet, she quickly made some hand gestures to bring in a breeze that blew away all the dust, as if to clean up.

It would be so tiring to wait for him to ask someone to come back and clean up.

After Shen Jin finished cleaning, he climbed up the peach tree and sat down. He leaned against the sturdy branch, yawned, and closed his eyes.

When Xiao Jiangran returned, he was somewhat shocked by the newly renovated house. Apart from the furniture, everything else looked like it was newly built.

I sighed secretly: "She really doesn't hide it at all."

He searched for Shen Jin in the courtyard again.

After searching for a while, I couldn't find anyone. Later, I looked up and saw Shen Jin hanging on the treetop.

There's no need to climb so high.

He was thinking in his mind, gesturing at the height, and preparing to prune the peach tree.

……

It was already night when Shen Jin woke up. Xiao Jiangran had already simply decorated the house, making it habitable.

After forcing the person to stay for dinner, Shen Jin was about to leave.

"This is the room for you." Xiao Jiangran rarely went against Shen Jin's wishes. He half coaxed and half forced her to the wooden door.

"I know, I know, you're going to say you don't need it, but I want to keep it for you."

"If you're tired in the future, you'll have a place to rest."

"You can't be a beggar all your life. Besides, this is the capital. Some of the beggars there have houses that are bigger than ours. Seriously, I'm not lying to you."

Shen Jin didn't have a deep understanding of this aspect: "Really?"

Doubtful.

"What we have the most here is noble people. If we are lucky enough to receive a reward from a noble family, it would be a sum of money that I would envy. We will never have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of our lives, let alone a small house."

Seeing her intention, Xiao Jiangran continued to add fuel to the fire: "You know, everyone needs a house to call home."

"Shen Jin, even if you are a beggar, you still have a home."

He emphasized "beggar" and "home."

Shen Jin almost instantly thought of the heavy mortgage she had to bear when she was a worker.

And she asked Gongsun Ye for advice on "how to be a beggar". Gongsun Ye seemed to have a family too. He had a pair of broken hands, but he managed to snatch a cowshed with his head and legs.

She has been sleeping in the tree all the time and has forgotten that she has a home!

Shen Jin's expression remained calm, but Xiao Jiangran noticed that her brows were slightly furrowed.

I felt a little more at ease.

After thinking for a while, he finally found some ways to control Shen Jin.

This man looked sharp, strategic, and insightful. But in his opinion, at least when it came to sensing his emotions, he was just a fool. Even babies could read people's expressions, but Shen Jin had no clue.

Therefore, he had to speak directly about everything and not hint at anything. After all, Shen Jin had a set of self-consistent logic, and if he was accidentally misunderstood, there would be no explanation.

Xiao Jiangran stood at the door, showing weakness: "I thought you treated me as a friend. But now, you don't even want a room. Am I being too self-indulgent?"

Shen Jin shook her head: "No, I didn't. How could it be possible? Don't let your imagination run wild."

Reject the fourth company.

He immediately followed the stick and said, "It's a deal, what's mine is yours, and this is also your home. You can come here anytime."

"I will keep this room for you."

Xiao Jiangran spoke quickly, and took advantage of Shen Jin's guilty conscience to settle the matter directly.

Shen Jin was stunned, not because she was trapped by Xiao Jiangran, but because she seemed to suddenly understand why all human beings are always obsessed with having a home.

She thought again of the house she bought in the space, and wondered whether she should leave a room for Xiao Jiangran.
