C4 A slap in the face

In the quiet and deep valley, his painful screams could be vaguely heard.

Xiao Sui's charming little face had long since lost all color, and his filthy hands were trembling as he covered his ears tightly. Her tears had dried up long ago, only the traces were still clear.

The stuttering robber hurriedly got up from the ground, covering the blood that was dripping out as he ran frantically into the pitch black night, disappearing without a trace.

"Humph!" The corner of his mouth raised as he let out a sneer.

Xiao Sui could clearly see the cold disdain in that voice, as if it was mocking him. Suddenly, unable to contain her fury, she reached out and slapped him hard in the face.

"Pah!" On the side of his handsome face, there were five clear and small fingerprints, glowing red under the moonlight.

The crisp sound of a slap exploded in his mind …

"You …" Shi Jinchen gaped for a moment, then fiercely grabbed Xiao Sui by the throat, as if he was going to strangle her to death in the next second.

He was a prince born with a gold spoon in his mouth. His status was so great that even the court and ministers had to avoid him. She was just a village woman, yet she dared to hit her, and it was even a slap on the face.

"Kill me, that's all you want." Xiao Sui did not have the slightest chance of dodging. Straightening his neck, it was as though he was seeking death.

This was something that the Shi Jinchen could not have predicted. His brows trembled as he said, "You think this king does not dare?"

The strength in his hands increased as he heard Xiao Sui's furious voice, "You're not blind, you're blind in your heart!"

The Shi Jinchen paused for a moment, and then, the bit of strength he had gained suddenly disappeared as he tilted his ear and continued to listen to the dissatisfaction in the release of his Xiao Sui.

"These days, you have never held a shred of trust in me. You always feel that I have come to harm you, and that your eyes are blind because of me. But don't you think about it? I woke up first that day, and if I really was the person who harmed you, I could have killed you before I woke up. Why should I have to stay behind and take care of a selfish, irritable, and blind person like you, who is always targeting me?! "

"How I've treated you in these past few days, and how you've treated me. If you hadn't been blind, you wouldn't have pushed me towards those two bandits today. If you push me towards them, it means that I will be openly humiliated and then die in their hands. Now that you've saved me, it means that you've humiliated me and killed me, right? Go ahead, what are you waiting for! "

Hot tears that shone with the silver light of the moon slowly dripped down her fair cheeks and onto the back of Shi Jinchen's hand. He could feel the grudge and anger inside.

The tear fell into the cold stagnant water in the bottom of his heart, stirring up ripples and spreading out layer by layer.

She was right, Shi Jinchen did not trust her from the beginning. After all, she was the only one who stayed by his side after the incident. And his own eyes were blind again, all he could see was the untouchable darkness, as if he was devouring everything.

Shi Jinchen was merely a product of her inexplicable sympathy towards her father who had sold himself to her. A village woman could not only find herbs to cure wounds and stop bleeding, but she also knew how to prevent the wound from inflamed her mouth.

Her suspicious actions, and Shi Jinchen were all recorded in her heart. After careful consideration, she really could not trust him.

Therefore, she had to be on her guard against anything that she did, because if she did anything wrong, she would disappear without a trace.

But he didn't want those two bandits to kill her after humiliating her. This wasn't what he wanted. He simply assumed that her accomplice had arrived, only to force her to admit that her mistrust was correct. After all, ever since he had become sensible, he had never missed it again.

He was always right in everything!

But this time he was wrong! In the face of Xiao Sui's accusations, although Shi Jinchen was also very angry, they still blamed themselves more. If it wasn't for his sharp ears, today would have been his lifetime of failure.

Shi Jinchen slowly released his hand, and his tightly knitted eyebrows relaxed. He turned around, he did not want Xiao Sui to see his complicated expression.

After the Xiao Sui gasped for breath after breath, all of the grievances turned into sparkling tears. In the end, she couldn't help but cover her face and sob.

The sound of the Xiao Sui sobbing was exceptionally clear in this silent night.

Shi Jinchen only feared women crying the most, and when they cried he could do nothing about it. He wanted to say something to comfort her, but the words would not come out of his mouth.

He lightly coughed to show off his prince's airs and impatiently said, "Hurry up and come here. After all, this is a dead man, and if others were to see this, it would lead to trouble."

Xiao Sui covered his face, softly sobbing, and turned a deaf ear to his words.

"Could it be that you want This King to take care of it?" The Shi Jinchen roared at the Xiao Sui.

The Xiao Sui was startled. Even though he didn't say what he meant, he still understood what he meant.

He no longer doubted himself.

"We... Where are we going? " Xiao Sui wiped the tears off his face.

"Return to the capital!"

Xiao Sui detected a trace of toughness in his eyes, and it was indescribably complicated.

The deep sky was no longer pitch-black. It welcomed the faint light from the east.

The earth woke up from a deep sleep, the birds' cheerful songs were crisp and sweet, causing one to feel full of vitality.

Before, the doctor had seen Shi Jinchen's eyes, he said that although Shi Jinchen's eyes could not see anything, his eyes were still clear, so the chances of him seeing it this way was still very high. As long as you can find a good doctor, you will be able to recover.

Therefore, Shi Jinchen San hurried towards the capital.

He believed that once he reached the capital and found the imperial physician, his eyes would definitely be able to see through it!

Although Xiao Sui was happy because she believed in him, she was still angry about what happened last night!

She held onto Shi Jinchen with extreme disgust as she hurried on her way. She couldn't go down a flat road, so she had to find a few potholes on a small path.

"Why is this place so remote?" Are you sure you went the right way? " Shi Jinchen kept feeling that something was wrong.

"All roads are like this, I'm following your instructions."

Xiao Sui held onto Shi Jinchen and intentionally did not avoid the puddle in front of them, allowing him to step into it.

A pitch-black Shi Jinchen. He only felt his feet get wet, and his acute ears heard the sound of Xiao Sui secretly laughing. Her pair of handsome, sword-like eyebrows slightly frowned, and with a flip of her hand, she tightly gripped Xiao Sui 'wrist, forcefully pulling her into a puddle of water.

Xiao Sui slipped and sat on the ground in a puddle. His entire body was instantly drenched and covered in filth and mud.

She glared at him with her almond eyes and said angrily, "What are you doing?"

"What's wrong?" Shi Jinchen pretended to be confused.

"You dragged me into a puddle." Xiao Sui complained.

"You were the one who took me down this road. I'm a blind person and I can't see any puddles on the ground. "How can you be blind if I'm blind?" Shi Jinchen taunted as he raised his eyebrows.

Xiao Sui was momentarily at a loss for words, fiercely rolling his eyes at him.

"Go well! The blind leader will fall into the pit sooner or later! " After the Shi Jinchen had finished speaking, he walked around the Xiao Sui slowly and cautiously.

Although it was already spring and the flowers were blooming, it was close to summer. However, the Xiao Sui was completely drenched, and the sun was once again covered by layers of dark clouds. When a gentle breeze approached, the Xiao Sui couldn't help but shiver.

Although he could not see the Shi Jinchen, he could still feel the cold air. He coldly said, "Let's find a place to change and dry our clothes, or else the cold will spread to this king!"

Xiao Sui replied snappily. At a glance, there was a small farmhouse not far away. The simple clothes of his family were still drying in the courtyard.

Xiao Sui rolled his eyes, the corners of his mouth curving into an evil grin. She tugged on Shi Jinchen's sleeve and said: "Prince, your shoes and pants are also quite wet, why not change too!"

After what happened just now, the Shi Jinchen was beginning to grow wary of her. "There's no need to, let's hurry up and go!"
