Senior brother is so awesome!

The following is the main text of the novel "{?$article_title?}" ({?$jieqi_title?}) provided by {?$jieqi_sitename?}. Please enjoy! Since that day, Yang Shanshan spent her time alone in Luoxue Pavilion, except for learning martial arts with her master every morning. She would either plant flowers and grass or practice meditation. It wasn't that she didn't want to go out and play, but Zhong Zhichen had confined her. In his eyes, she had become his possession. Their residences were close to each other, and Zhong Zhichen often came to Luoxue Pavilion at night. No one pitied her; every time, she would go from initial struggle to eventual surrender. He was an absolute overlord, whose word was law, and he would not allow anyone to spy on his woman.

Sui Xin was always worried when she saw her young mistress looking so downcast. She glanced at the small, thin figure tending to the flowers and plants in the courtyard under the scorching sun, beads of sweat dripping from her long hair onto the soil. She had advised her mistress many times that she could wear less in the sweltering summer heat, but the young mistress still wore many layers, saying that this would give her more room to maneuver. She could see the young master's affection for the young mistress, but she couldn't agree with his approach, which had turned the lively and cheerful young mistress into a taciturn person.

She took a damp cotton towel in her hand and walked into the yard. Yang Shanshan looked up and smiled, then looked down and started fighting the mud. Sui Xin wiped the sweat from her forehead and said with concern, "Miss, go back and rest. I can handle this."

Yang Shanshan shook her head, her hands still moving, and said with a smile, "I'm so bored, can you let me sit down somewhere?"

Seeing her forced smile, Sui Xin mustered her courage and said, "How about Sui Xin goes to find Second Senior Brother? Someone can help you come up with some ideas. You can't keep being controlled by Young Master Zhong forever."

Her hands froze, a faint sadness welling up in her beautiful eyes. She smiled again, "What are you thinking? Why would I call someone here for no reason? Hurry up and loosen the soil for me. I'm going to wash up." Yang Shanshan threw down the shovel, turned and went into the room, leaving only Sui Xin sighing helplessly.

These days are so boring. She thought of the phrase "keeping a mistress in a golden house." Although this place wasn't a golden house, it was still a birdcage. She didn't want this kind of life! But if Suixin worried about her and asked someone else for help, she was afraid that Suixin would be in danger. Moreover, he would definitely send his own people to serve her, and then she would really have no hope.

But what should I do? I have to find a way out. I haven't been out for several days. Since the weather is nice, I might as well go out for a walk and relax. I hope I won't be discovered if I go to a secluded mountain. However, my clothes are too thick. I changed into some light summer clothes. I glanced at the bruises on my chest and neck and deliberately chose a high-necked one. Better safe than sorry.

She refused the advances of a same-sex friend and went out alone, walking along the mountain path towards the back of the mountain, the place where she had fallen last time. Sigh, things have changed so much. Back then, she had her second senior brother and the little boy with her, but now she was all alone. She could only accept her bad luck. Who told her to transmigrate into Qin Yuechan's body? And who told her to have an inextricable relationship with Zhong Zhichen...

The midday sun was at its strongest, but thankfully the tall, dense trees in the mountains shielded her from the heat. Smelling the fragrance of the trees and earth, she climbed step by step, soon drenched in sweat. Oh dear, it was so hot! She longed for short sleeves and shorts. Sadly, even ancient summer clothes were only slightly lighter in material; she was still completely covered up. Oh well, with no one around, she gently loosened her collar to let in some fresh air, then turned and sat down on a rock, panting.

She caught a glimpse of a white garment fluttering near a large tree in the distance and immediately realized someone was hiding behind it! Her first thought was that it was a spy sent by Zhong Zhichen, because he always knew her every move, which made her regretful. Heh, he finally caught her today! You lackey, you dare to follow me! She picked up a stone and threw it at the tree. With her current skill, she was sure she could smash through the tree and hurt the person.

The pebble sank into the tree trunk. Yang Shanshan waited gleefully for the man's scream, but after a long while there was no sound, she couldn't help but wonder, so she shouted loudly, "You weren't beaten to death by your grandma, were you?"

Her only response was a gentle smile. The person behind the tree slowly emerged, and Yang Shanshan's breathing quickened. Dressed in flowing white robes, she looked like a fairy, her black hair casually draped over her shoulders, complementing her white attire. Her perfect face was adorned with a gentle smile, and she held the pebble she had been using as a hidden weapon in her hand. She looked up and smiled, "Chan'er, it's been a long time."

It's my second senior brother! What's he doing here? She hadn't noticed anyone behind her as she walked. Could it be that her second senior brother's martial arts had reached an unparalleled level? However, she didn't want to see him at all, or perhaps she was ashamed to see him!

She suppressed her surprise, turned and walked up the mountain. Despite seeing his heart breaking, she still said coldly, "Don't follow me."

Zhu Mingquan was taken aback by her indifference. He leaped forward, smiling, and grabbed her hand. Just as he opened his mouth, his gaze fixed on her neck, and his smile froze. Yang Shanshan followed his gaze and looked down, then abruptly shook off his arm and tightened her collar. How could she be so careless? Seeing his ashen face, she felt a pang of pain in her heart! Well, this is for the best. He'll find out eventually, won't he? This way, she won't have to explain anymore.

Zhu Mingquan's stiff body took a while to regain feeling. He nervously stepped forward and grabbed her arm, trying his best to appear calm. "You, you were bitten by some kind of insect, weren't you? Come back to Tingyun Pavilion with me, your senior brother will find some medicine for you, just apply it and you'll be fine..."

Yang Shanshan watched him try to comfort himself, her heart aching. She shook off his grip, took a few steps back, and shouted, "What are you pretending for! You know perfectly well! Why are you acting so nonchalant?!" Tears streamed uncontrollably down her face. She would rather he call her promiscuous and shameless than see him playing dumb like this. Her heart ached so much…

His face grew increasingly somber, a sorrow swirling around his ethereal appearance. He raised his head, his gaze fixed on her, and asked, word by word, "Is it Zhong Zhichen?"

She turned around abruptly, threw down the words "None of your business," and ran down the mountain. She didn't want to stay there for even a moment longer; the accusation in his eyes was like torture to her heart.

A gust of wind suddenly enveloped her, pulling her uncontrollably into the arms of a slender man. The air was thick with the scent of medicine. Yang Shanshan tried to struggle free, but he held her even tighter. "Why! Why did someone take my things? You're mine, mine!" he cried, straightening her body and pressing his soft lips against hers. His kiss was filled with unease and hatred. She didn't push him away, but slowly wrapped her arms around his waist, deepening the kiss. She never wanted to leave him. It was all because of that scoundrel Zhong Zhichen's interference. Otherwise, she would have stayed with her second senior brother until they settled down and she could accompany him in his medical practice. But now, all of that was impossible.

He wished he could meld her into his heart. The image of her being pinned down by Zhong Zhichen filled him with excruciating pain, like being slowly sliced ​​to pieces. He had already endured this pain once before, and this time, he would never let go again!
