Chapter 90 [90] Looking at You
Zhongli Jin stared at Mu Nianxi's face. Even though he felt a strange heartbeat in his heart, he still couldn't kiss the woman.
It was as if once he kissed her, something between the two of them would be completely broken.
That was not what he wanted to see, and it seemed... it was not what Senior Sister Mu wanted.
The young man's hands hanging in his sleeves were trembling slightly. He stood there for a long time without moving. He was trying hard to suppress the inexplicable throbbing in his heart and tried his best to keep himself as calm as when he first woke up.
Mu Nianxi noticed his restraint, and a hint of hurt flashed in his eyes, as well as a bit of dark emotions that the young man could not understand.
Since Zhongli Jin won't move, then let her do it!
Mu Nianxi suddenly rushed to the boy, held his face, closed his eyes and was about to kiss him!
Zhongli Jin's heart trembled and he wanted to dodge, but his body was so stiff at this moment that he could hardly move. He could only watch the woman's red lips approach his face!
The touch as soft as skin was transmitted to Mu Nianxi's senses. She bit the delicate thing lightly and opened her eyes again. In front of her were the boy's magnified facial features and the look of utmost astonishment.
Finally kissing Zhong Lijin for the first time, Mu Nianxi was very excited. She smiled seductively, let go of the boy and said, "See, kissing a senior sister is not that difficult, right?"
Zhongli Jin's face looked a little ugly, his breathing was rapid and unstable, his heart was beating violently in his chest, and his heart was in extreme pain!
Mu Nianxi got what she wanted and finally left the room with a smile.
After the woman left, a snow-white bandage poked out from the boy's neck. It was wrapped around the boy's neck like a snake. Looking closely, there was a red lip mark and a small tooth mark on the spotless white body.
"..."
That’s right, at the critical moment, the bandage strip popped out and helped the boy block Mu Nianxi’s kiss.
Logically, Zhongli Jin should be relieved, but the boy's face was still gloomy, and even... there was a hint of gnashing of teeth.
He grabbed the bandage, and it struggled in his hand like a small snake caught by a hunter, and then the boy threw it into the basin beside him.
The water in the basin was a clear spring water that had been drawn early in the morning and was slightly cold. As soon as it entered the water, Zhongli Jin held it and rubbed it continuously, as if he wanted to wash away the mark of the red lips and the scent of Mu Nianxi on his body.
"In the future... don't be like this." Zhongli Jin's eyes were dark and his voice was a little hoarse, as if he was suppressing some anger.
"Even if she wants to kiss me, don't block it for me."
——Compared to being kissed by Mu Nianxi, the boy found that he could not stand being kissed or touched by others on the bandage.
Shi Qing: “…”
The boy didn't know what he was thinking. He rubbed the bandage in the water for a long time, so long that Shi Qing felt that a layer of skin was about to be rubbed off.
It swung its tail and hit the boy's hand hard, and Zhongli Jin stopped as if waking up from a dream.
"Sorry..." He came back to his senses, and the gloom and coldness on his face disappeared in an instant, and there was a little more panic on his face, "Did...I hurt you?"
Shi Qing actually felt fine, as if someone was giving him a bath, it didn't hurt that much, but the boy's expression just now was a little strange.
His face was gloomy, his eyes were cold, and there seemed to be a black mist surrounding his brows, as if he was slightly possessed by a demon.
Zhongli Jin had done this several times before, and every time he showed this expression, Shi Qing felt a trace of demonic energy surrounding him.
But that breath came and went quickly, making it difficult to fully capture it.
The bandage was wet, and the boy used his spiritual power to dry it.
Without the red lip print and the scent of Mu Nianxi, the bandage was wrapped around Zhong Li Jin's wrist again.
But the next second—
"Come up closer." The boy's slightly deep voice sounded beside Shi Qing's ears.
She looked up through the front end of the bandage. Zhongli Jin's handsome and flawless face had a strange blush on it, and his dark eyes were as deep as transparent obsidian, revealing a gravitational pull that seemed to be able to suck people into the abyss.
"Come up a little more, wrap it around here." The young man's bony hands moved slightly upwards and pulled the collar of his shirt down a little, revealing the delicate collarbone and fair skin hidden under the collar.
Shi Qing: “…”
Is this where the bandage is hidden?
That's fine. If we're close, it will be convenient to protect Zhongli Jin.
The bandage slid down the boy's arm and wrapped around his neck like a scarf.
Feeling the tightness of the bandage, Zhongli Jin finally had a sense of fulfilment at this moment.
The young man felt relieved and decided not to read today. Instead, he planned to wander around the mountain gate.
He left the house and took a general look at the layout of the mountain gate.
The community of disciples in Qianqing Mountain is not large. Walking further back, there are several taller buildings. I heard that is where the master resides. The master has been in seclusion for some time, so we are unable to see him.
Behind the tall building, there is a bamboo forest.
There was a ban around the Purple Bamboo Forest, and it was surrounded by clouds and mist, making it impossible to see what was behind.
Zhongli Jin was about to go in for a walk when he suddenly heard a disciple's call: "Junior Brother Zhongli! Wait a minute!"
The young man had no choice but to stop and turn around to look at the disciple who was running towards him.
"This senior brother is..." Zhongli Jin raised his hand to salute.
"You don't remember? Oh, that's right, Senior Sister Mu said you lost your memory." The male disciple laughed and said, "The area behind this is a forbidden area of our sect. Normally, disciples are not allowed to enter. Junior brother, you must remember this!"
"So that's how it is. I understand, brother." Zhongli Jin nodded.
"Come on, let's go back to the room first. Senior Sister Mu and the others will be back from exorcising the demons in two hours. Junior brother, you just woke up, so you still need to rest more." The male disciple said, pushing Zhongli Jin.
The young man was not used to being too close to others, so he stepped away from the male disciple's arms and said with a smile, "Junior brother, please walk on your own. Thank you, senior brother."
"Oh, it's okay. I'll leave first!" the male disciple said and turned to leave.
From casual reminders to farewell, the man never said his own name. Zhong Lijin could only call him senior brother but could not call out his last name.
Before leaving, the young man looked back at the bamboo forest again, his eyes filled with gloom.
The male disciple did not go far.
Instead, he stayed at a distance and watched him.
Or rather - more like surveillance.
Therefore, Zhongli Jin could not continue exploring after the man left, and could only return to the house to rest.
As soon as I opened the door, I smelled the fragrance of medicine.
A girl in a white dress was standing in front of his table with a bowl of medicine. When she saw him coming back, she smiled and said, "Junior Brother Zhongli, come quickly. This is today's medicine. Senior Sister Mu told me to make sure you drink it!"
Zhongli Jin looked at the medicine bowl in the girl's hand. The medicine was thick and emitted white smoke, so it must have been freshly brewed.
"Why?" The young man laughed and asked in surprise, "Do I have to watch you while drinking? How old do you think I am, Senior Sister Mu?"
The girl covered her mouth and laughed twice: "Junior brother, you hate taking medicine the most. You think it tastes bitter. Every time Senior Sister is not around, you will secretly pour out the medicine, so she specifically asked me to keep an eye on you."
As she spoke, she handed the medicine bowl in her hand to Zhongli Jin, and looked at the young man with her lively eyes, saying, "Drink it, Junior Brother, I will watch over you."
Zhongli Jin: “…”
