Reborn as a concubine's daughter and entering a noble family: Xie Lang, don't be too seduc

Suddenly realizing what was happening, Xie Shu slightly opened her eyes.

He seemed to suddenly realize that the person in front of him, Hawthorne, was not his personal bodyguard, Liao Bin...

But at this moment he was unable to move, standing there helplessly.

Feeling it with a clear and lucid mind—

Hawthorne carefully touched his chest a few times.

First, he accidentally touched the wound on his front, and he frowned slightly, which was noticed by Huo Sanghua.

Huo Sanghua kept repeating "I'm sorry, I'm sorry," but in order to find medicine to treat his injuries as soon as possible, his hands did not stop moving.

Fortunately, we were lucky enough to find the location of the wound medicine on his body quickly.

After a slight hesitation, she slipped her hand under his coat...

Remove the medicine for the injury.

He finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But the next problem is...

How was she supposed to apply the medicine to Xie Shu?!

He nervously waved his hand in front of Xie Shu, trying to get Xie Shu's "help" so he could check how many injuries Xie Shu had. He couldn't very well strip him naked and check every single one of them, could he?

However, Xie Shu was already in a daze, seemingly dead.

There was absolutely no reaction!

Hawthorne looked out of the cave in a flustered manner, and only after confirming that there was nothing amiss did he come back to his senses.

He carefully examined Xie Shu's reaction again—

At this moment, Xie Shu gradually lost consciousness.

The wounds on his body were bleeding profusely, and his whole body was burning up.

His face burned even more intensely; by the firelight, it was easy to see that his face was bright red, as if he were about to be cooked.

The situation is not optimistic. If this delay continues, we may bleed to death before reinforcements arrive!

“Young Master…” Huo Sanghua called to him softly.

If I could get a response from him right now, perhaps I wouldn't be so afraid.

The howls of wolves echoed through the empty mountain forest.

Terrified, Hawthorne, already like a frightened bird, collapsed to the ground, her hands trembling...

She wasn't sure if Xie Shu would feel better if she woke up now.

Because of what she's about to do...

It seems better if Xie Shu remains unconscious, so as not to embarrass her.

Seeing that Xie Shu still didn't respond, she secretly breathed a long sigh of relief. Mustering her courage, she slowly reached out her hand to the unconscious Xie Shu...

First, she gently pulled open Xie Shu's collar, revealing a bruised injury on his shoulder.

The stark, distinct bones caused her heart to pause briefly before suddenly pounding violently...

Hawthorne averted his eyes as if he were a thief—

No, she's going to apply medicine and bandage Xie Shu!

Realizing that he hadn't finished his important business, Hawthorne still turned his head stiffly.

He uncorked the medicine bottle and leaned forward to carefully apply a layer of powder to Xie Shu's wound.

She was so close to Xie Shu that she was almost holding her breath.

Thinking back to her previous life, she married into the Xie family as Xie Shu's new wife. But before she could even see Xie Shu's face clearly, they both met a tragic end. At that time, she should have been Xie Shu's wife...

Given a second chance, she tries her best to change her fate of dying on her wedding night with Xie Shu.

She struggled desperately... and finally married Xie Shu's younger brother, Xie Lin. But unexpectedly, after many twists and turns, she still found herself entangled with Xie Shu...

On her wedding night, she and Xie Shu were trapped in a cave.

What a cruel twist of fate!

She glanced up slightly and saw Xie Shu standing right in front of her...

Those thick, dark eyebrows, the tightly furrowed brows, and his closed eyes...

So this is what the real Xie Shu looks like.

Just as she hesitated, Xie Shu, who had been keeping his eyes closed, suddenly opened them and stared at her intently.

The two were less than an inch apart.

It felt as if even their breath would spray onto the other person's cheek...

Huo Sanghua, who reacted first, quickly stepped back, "I... I wanted to help you apply the medicine."

Xie Shu, who had just come to her senses, unconsciously looked at her exposed shoulder and neck, where the wound had been covered with medicine powder. She then turned her head to look at the medicine bottle in Huo Sanghua's hand.

He nodded...

It means he probably knew.

"Well..." Hawthorne was in a difficult position; she was already incredibly embarrassed just from having to tug at his collar.

It wouldn't be right to actually strip Xie Shu naked, would it?

Seemingly understanding her meaning, Xie Shu hesitated for a moment, then struggled to move her body and began to untie her belt...

Hawthorne turned away.

Looking at the stones in the corner, my heart was pounding like thunder.

Xie Shu took off her shirt and sat there shirtless.

His strong chest and arms were covered with a layer of new and old wounds, and mottled scars.

It makes it even more apparent...

Turning his back, Hawthorne took a deep breath and decided to resolve the matter as soon as possible.

She returned to Xie Shu, clutching the medicine bottle, wiping away the blood with her sleeve as she applied the medicine. Wounds etched themselves onto Xie Shu's body, and the bitter-smelling powder spread across the wounds with the gentle shaking of the bottle...

The atmosphere grew even more subtle as the firelight shone through the cave.

Hawthorne's hair was slightly disheveled, with strands falling across her forehead and obscuring her eyes. Xie Shu looked up and stared into her eyes, feeling uneasy about the strand of hair. She instinctively raised her hand, as if to gently tuck it away...

Such intimate behavior really startled Hawthorne!

Noticing her unease, the large hand stopped in front of her eyes, making no further move...

In her panic, she heard Xie Shu calmly say, "I just dozed off and had a dream... I dreamt that I was surrounded by assassins, and unable to fight them off, I fell into an ambush and lay in a pool of blood..."

His voice gave Hawthorne a sense of comfort, and she unconsciously relaxed, continuing to apply the medicine.

Looking at the person in front of him, a ripple of doubt stirred within him once more, gradually enveloped by confusion.

Continue speaking—

"...Just when I thought I was going to die there, I vaguely saw someone. A...woman...She ran over, but she was no match for the assassins and fell in front of me."

Hawthorne twitched violently, caught off guard. She was all too familiar with the scene Xie Shu had described…

Unexpectedly hearing this from Xie Shu, she panicked, fearing Xie Shu really knew something. "Then, then she..."

"I haven't gotten a good look at her yet," Xie Shu said with regret.

He was just a hair's breadth away from getting a clear look at the woman's face.

Then, I woke up.

What really bothered him was that the dream was so vivid, as if he had experienced it firsthand, and every cut that landed on his body was so painfully clear.

And the person who collapsed in front of him... ...

The appearance is blurry.

The woman he saw while he was unconscious looked very much like Hawthorne.

I can't understand why I had such a dream.

Or has he really... developed some inappropriate feelings for Hawthorne?!

Even though he knew these thoughts would make it difficult for him to face Ah Lin, the moment he opened his eyes and saw Hawthorne...

Seeing how carefully Hawthorne was applying medicine to him, he felt an intense urge to find out who the woman he had seen in his dream was.

"Don't overthink it. It's just a dream, don't take it seriously," Hawthorne comforted him, but his tone was too calm.

After applying the medicine to Xie Shu, she got up and draped his clothes over his body.

Xie Shu lowered her head, large beads of sweat falling from her forehead, looking exactly like she was enduring pain.

"What's wrong with you?" Hawthorne sensed something was amiss.

Xie Shu suddenly realized, "That dart... ...was coated with medicine."

Dart? "You mean, poisoned?!"
