Chapter 147 – Shadow

/Past Trauma (陰影)

With a languid voice that carried a hint of magnetic roughness, a face that had an extremely tragic handsomeness that also contained pride and could raise eyebrows. Adding it all together, it gave off an unspeakable sense of sexiness.

Having lived for two lifetimes, Jing Yunzhao had never seen someone like Li Shaoyun before, someone who had outstanding features in all aspects including his style, voice, and even his figure. Of course, the circle of people she knew was small in her previous life. The only place she would have been able to see many people other than school, would be in prison.

Since Li Shaoyun was unable to get up in his current condition, Jing Yunzhao just sat down and grabbed an apple, “Want to eat?”

“You really have nothing you want to say?” Li Shaoyun asked again.

“Then I’ll eat it myself.” Jing Yunzhao acted as if she did not hear what he had said.

Li Shaoyun’s lips twitched as he watched the little girl. He thought that Jing Yunzhao was still young after all, so as an adult, he should more or less give her some consideration and yield a few steps. Only by thinking this way, could he squeeze out an expression that was a smile yet not a smile, “Speaking of this car accident that happened to me, it actually does have some relation to you…”

Jing Yunzhao’s movements paused. “The one who drove the delivery truck was not me.”

“I know,” Li Shaoyun answered. “But ever since I received that kick from you, my mental state hasn’t been good. That was why I got the driver to drive around for a stroll. You may not be of age yet, but you are still a doctor. You should know what a man regards as the most important thing.”

“There was originally already an obstacle in my heart, and in the end, I even met upon a car accident. I’m guessing that my Li Family has the possibility of having no more descendants…”

Li Shaoyun felt like the demon and gods were at work. He didn’t even know why he had started speaking such things the moment he opened his mouth.

But he always believed in his intuition. Towards her, he had some curiosity, interest, and his mood would always be not too bad whenever he saw her. Thus, he was very willing to let go of his status and try to spend more time with her so they would be more familiar with each other.

She was simple yet stubborn. He thought that Jing Yunzhao had the absolute potential to become another Du Lin, to become another one of his few friends in Hua Ning County,

Just that, it seemed like there was also some difference. Maybe it was because of her young age.

Anyway, he had, for some peculiar reason unbeknownst to him, thoughts about the lass – whom he had only met a few times – constantly filled his mind during the time of the car accident. That meant that he had already thought of her as one of his people definitely. Since she was one of his people, attacking, bringing her in, developing their feelings; All these were things that would naturally happen.

What a pity though, she was too young. Saying such things out loud actually made him feel like he was committing a crime.

Jing Yunzhao once again could only watch on helplessly, completely not believing Li Shaoyun’s words.

“Li Shao, you should remember the reason I acted out then. I don’t like outsiders coming too close to me. If it weren’t because you touched me, I think I would also not act so swiftly,” she quibbled.

It was definitely swift enough. Thinking back to the events that had happened that day, even Li Shaoyun was a little afraid.

Fortunately, he had practised martial arts since young, so his reactions were better than ordinary people. Otherwise, he would definitely have been wasted.

“That was me being polite.” Li Shaoyun’s eyes were gloomy. Two seconds later, he spoke up again, “Speaking of which, I hope you can give me an explanation. Why were you vomiting?”

Living for more than 20 years, being complimented for more than 20 years, with that instance of Jing Yunzhao vomiting, his tiny bit of self-confidence had also been vomited out cleanly.

He could still vividly remember that scene. He could tell that Jing Yunzhao had definitely not been pretending, and was truly disgusted by him. Afterwards, when he went back, he had let Du Lin smell him for a bit, and found no strange odours. This brought about a slight shadow and caused him to soak in the bath for a couple of hours.

“I had only thought of some not so beautiful memories at that time. My reaction then was also indeed a bit too intense, for this, I apologise,” Jing Yunzhao admitted straightforwardly.

At one glance, one could already tell that he was someone who was incomparably narcissistic. Her reaction would very likely affect him.

But she also couldn’t help thinking that this fella was also finding trouble for himself.
