Chapter 229 Feeding Water
In fact, Shen Li had her own plans in mind. If the maid was in the carriage, it would be inconvenient for her to take out the spiritual spring water and the boy's handkerchief.
After all, the origin of this spiritual spring water is not ordinary. If it is seen by others, it will inevitably cause some unnecessary trouble. She does not want to reveal this secret too early.
Seeing that Chu Qiu also went outside, the carriage suddenly became quiet. Shen Li hurriedly stretched out her little hand and gently touched Luo Chen's forehead. It was burning hot to the touch. She couldn't help but whispered: "It's so hot. I wonder if it can cook an egg in this heat..." She looked worried and childishly teasing.
As for Luo Chen, he had actually woken up when Zhao Lin carried him onto the carriage. However, he had his own little thoughts in mind. He wanted to take this opportunity to explore what secrets Shen Li was hiding. So, he pretended to be unconscious, closed his eyes tightly, and even tried to breathe as slowly as possible, for fear that Shen Li would notice him.
After a while, Shen Li muttered to herself again: "Oh, I promised my brother that I wouldn't pick up people anymore, but I picked up another one. This is great, it's just causing trouble for myself."
As she spoke, Shen Li couldn't help but think of Nangong Qi again. Her brows furrowed slightly, and she continued to mutter, "I don't know if Ah Qi has returned home. I gave him that compass last time. With that thing, he shouldn't get lost, right?"
Luo Chen listened quietly to her mumbling, sometimes about Shen Xuan, sometimes about Ah Qi, and thought to himself, "This girl seems to be very caring. She cares so much about the people around her." But then he thought again, these seemed to have nothing to do with the truth he wanted to explore, so he suppressed his thoughts and continued to pretend to be unconscious.
Shen Li, on her side, was struggling in her heart about whether she should give Luo Chen the spiritual spring water.
When she thought about the time when she met Luo Chen before and this brat had strangled her neck fiercely, she couldn't help but feel suffocated.
But after hesitating for a long time, she couldn't help muttering: "Forget it, forget it. Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda." In fact, what she was thinking was that if she saved Luo Chen, the system points would definitely increase a lot, which would be of great benefit to her.
Then, Shen Li waved her hand and produced a small and exquisite bottle out of thin air.
She had filled these small bottles with spiritual spring water in advance and placed them in her storage bag so that she could use them at any time when something happened.
She pinched Luo Chen's chin carefully, thinking of pouring the spiritual spring water into his mouth.
But unexpectedly, Luo Chen here was not cooperating at all. He closed his eyes tightly and felt a small hand pinching his chin. His mind suddenly became wild with thoughts, and he secretly thought: "What is this doing? Is it going to harm me?"
He gritted his teeth and refused to open his mouth. Once his stubbornness came up, no matter how Shen Li manipulated him, his mouth remained tightly closed.
It was such a cold day, and after struggling for a while, he was sweating all over. His already hot body became even hotter.
Shen Li frowned and looked at his pale face, feeling helpless and anxious.
After hesitating for a long time, she gritted her teeth, closed her eyes, and drank the spiritual spring water into her mouth. Then, with a red face, she slowly moved towards the boy's mouth, thinking that she had to feed him the spiritual spring water in this way.
Luo Chen was already running a fever, feeling dizzy and groggy. His head felt like it was a mess, and he felt drowsy.
Unfortunately, Shen Li pinched his mouth and tormented him for a long time, and he felt that the discomfort caused by the cold became more serious. His breathing became rapid and heavy, and the strength in his body seemed to be drained away bit by bit along with the heat.
Just as he closed his eyes, his mind still wandering, wondering what Shen Li was going to do, suddenly, a warm and soft lip pressed against his lips without warning.
The sudden touch was like an electric current that instantly hit him, causing his heart to tremble violently and his eyes to widen subconsciously.
What caught my eye was the little face in front of me, as white as jade. It was so close that I could almost see the delicate hairs on her face and the eyelashes that were trembling slightly due to nervousness.
Luo Chen was so shocked that he opened his mouth all of a sudden, completely losing the calmness he had when he pretended to be faint just now.
As for Shen Li, she was originally concentrating on thinking about how to feed him the spiritual spring water. When she suddenly saw Luo Chen open his eyes, she was also shocked. Her little face turned red in an instant, as if blood would drip out.
She was both embarrassed and anxious, and quickly stepped back. In her panic, her back hit the carriage seat hard, making a loud "bang" sound that echoed in the narrow space of the carriage, which was particularly harsh.
Chuqiu and Chuchun, who were outside the carriage, heard the noise and their faces suddenly changed. Without thinking, they immediately pulled open the curtain, daggers tightly in their hands, and jumped in nimbly. They asked in surprise, "What's wrong, Miss?" They looked concerned and nervous, as if they were about to rush up and fight with some danger in the next second.
At the same time, Shen Yu also heard the noise, hurriedly tightened the reins, stopped the carriage, quickly jumped off the shaft, ran to the side of the carriage in two steps, and looked inside anxiously, his eyes full of worry, eager to know what had happened.
Seeing this, Shen Li hurriedly tidied up her messy clothes, shook her body vigorously, and sat back in her seat in a panic. She tried to look calmer and stammered, "No, it's okay, I... I just accidentally slipped down..."
As she spoke, she lowered her head guiltily, her eyes dodging, not daring to look at Chuqiu and Chuchun's gazes full of concern and doubt. She only felt her face getting hotter and hotter, and the fiery blush spread from her cheeks to her ears, as if it was going to burn her whole body.
Luo Lingchen had already swallowed the spiritual spring water that Shen Li had given him. The spiritual spring water slid down his throat, bringing a slight sweetness. However, he was in a panic and had no time to savor the taste. His mind was in a mess, full of the unexpected and embarrassing scene just now.
His face was still as pale as paper, and he said weakly to Chuqiu and Chuchun, "It's all my fault. I've caused trouble to you two sisters. I feel much better now. I'll just go out and ride. I'm really bothering you all here." As he spoke, he struggled to get up, but his body was too weak. He just stood up a little and almost fell down again.
Seeing that there seemed to be no danger, Chu Qiu turned her gaze to Shen Li and said with concern: "Miss, you have to be careful. Your back was hit so hard just now, I'm afraid it will turn purple again!"
After saying this, she glared at Luo Chen with a purposeful, ambiguous expression. Her eyes seemed to carry a hint of anger and resentment, as if she was blaming him for causing her young lady such an embarrassment. Then, she turned around, swiftly jumped off the carriage, and went out to guard again.
