Abandoned by the best children? I just take out the space

Chapter 2148 Pretending to sleep

Xiao Jingheng stared at her intently. When Shangguan Chu finished applying the medicine and was about to turn around, he closed his eyes again and continued to pretend to be asleep, not daring to let her discover his peeking.

In the cave, the atmosphere was ambiguous. The two snuggled up to each other and gradually fell asleep.

At dawn the next day, Shangguan Chu and Xiao Jingheng saw that the weather was clear and continued their journey.

On the way to collect herbs, Shangguan Chu walked in front, but Xiao Jingheng was very careful and caring, even cutting off the thorny branches in advance to prevent her from touching them.

The intimate behavior made Shangguan Chu feel very uncomfortable, and his handsome eyebrows slightly frowned: "Xiao Jingheng, what are you doing?"

"Brother Shangguan is weak, so let me take the damage. I have to protect you more."

He chuckled and continued with his actions, and the road in front of him was cleared.

Shangguan Chu held his forehead helplessly and took a step forward, but he accidentally stepped on a stone, his foot twisted, and he fell straight to the ground.

She subconsciously grabbed Jamel Xiao, and in an instant, their bodies were stacked together. Jamel Xiao even protected her head with his hands. Their eyes met, an ambiguous atmosphere filled the air between them, and their hearts were beating like drums.

In the quiet space, there were bang bang bang sounds. Looking at Shangguan Chu closely, Xiao Jingheng couldn't help but his Adam's apple rolling and his heart beating even more deeply, and the same was true for Shangguan Chu.

But panic took over more, she suppressed the throbbing in her heart and pushed Xiao Jingheng away in panic: "Xiao Jingheng, get up quickly."

Worried that her identity would be discovered, after Xiao Jingheng stood up, Shangguan Chu also hurriedly got up and straightened her clothes. Her appearance made Xiao Jingheng chuckle.

Shangguan Chu glared at him and was about to ask him what he was laughing at when he saw the herb he was looking for not far away. His eyes lit up: "The medicine I want is right there!"

"Xiao Jingheng, let's go get it quickly." Shangguan Chu's tone was excited, immersed in the joy of curing his father. He happily stepped forward and reached out to pick the medicine.

Just when she was about to get the herbs, she suddenly felt a pain in her thigh. Shangguan Chu turned around in confusion, only to see a slender and slippery snake that was shining in the sun biting her leg!

The green snake made a rustling sound.

"Xiao...Xiao Jingheng."

"Don't move." Xiao Jingheng obviously also saw the snake. He raised his dagger and approached carefully.

When the snake loosened its mouth and crawled away, he pounced on it and chopped it into eight pieces with a dagger.

Only after he was sure the snake was dead did he heave a sigh of relief and walk back to Shangguan Chu. At this moment, Shangguan Chu's lips had turned slightly purple.

"Oh no, this snake is poisonous." Xiao Jingheng's face changed drastically and he became extremely nervous. He threw down the bloody dagger and hugged Shangguan Chu and left here temporarily.

When the two returned to the cave, Shangguan Chu had fainted. He hesitated for a moment, and without caring too much, he tore off Shangguan Chu's clothes, lowered his head, and sucked out the snake venom for her.

As he spat out mouthfuls of black blood, Shangguan Chu's complexion gradually improved.

She slowly opened her eyes and saw the wound on her foot and the clothes that had been taken off. Shangguan Chu's face turned pale, shocked and shy.

"Xiao...Xiao Jingheng, I..." She stammered, her words were unclear, and she didn't know how to explain.

Perhaps seeing her embarrassment, Xiao Jingheng tidied her hair in a soothing manner: "Shangguan Chu, I actually knew you were a woman yesterday."

"But I didn't know how to say it, so I just kept silent. I'm glad you're a woman. When you were still a man, I was attracted to you."

Xiao Jingheng's eyes were deep and soft, and he confessed to her sincerely: "Ah Chu, I have loved you for a long, long time. Don't worry, I will be responsible for you today."

Although he had to do what happened today in order to save people, it still hurt the girl's reputation. No matter what, he should be held responsible.

What's more, this is the woman he loves.

Xiao Jingheng's affectionate confession made Shangguan Chu's heart palpitate, but when she thought of Wan Shufang's words, she pretended to be indifferent and said calmly: "Xiao Jingheng, don't say such things again in the future."

"Let's just pretend this never happened."

Hearing this, Jamel Xiao's eyes widened. He didn't expect her to be so resolute. His heart was instantly filled with a sense of loss. He lowered his head and remained silent.

Shangguan Chu ignored him, treated his wounds silently, then got up and left.

"I'm going to collect herbs, you go back."

As she said that, she stepped out. Jamel Xiao seemed to have just reacted and hurriedly chased after her: “It’s too dangerous, I’ll go with you.”

"No matter what, we are still from the same school."

This time, Shangguan Chu did not refuse him again. The two returned to their previous position, and after successfully picking the herbs, they hurried back.

Because of what happened in the cave, neither of them spoke on the way back. After reaching the top of the cliff, Shangguan Chu and Xiao Jingheng parted ways.

From beginning to end, she never mentioned confession again.

Looking at her back as she walked away, Jamel Xiao looked disappointed: "It turns out that she doesn't like me at all."

He muttered and left in a daze. On the other side, Shangguan Chu was anxious to save his father. He was unaware of the boy's sadness and hurried back to the old house and gave the medicine to Wan Shufang.

Looking at the disheveled little girl, Wan Shufang smiled with relief and said distressedly: "Go back and clean up. I have prepared medicine in your room."

"Thank you, ma'am." Shangguan Chu bowed slightly and looked at the county magistrate: "My father..."

"Don't worry, I'll go make the medicine now, he'll be fine."

With Wan Shufang's words, Shangguan Chu felt relieved and went back to the house obediently. After the people left, Wan Shufang asked Chen Changli to guard the door and not let anyone in.

After completing all preparations, she entered the space and refined the elixir.

After a busy night, Wan Shufang was sweating profusely. She finally made a pill. A smile appeared on her face: "Great, with this, the county magistrate should be back to normal."

After saying that, Wan Shufang flashed out of the space and opened the door. Chen Changli hurriedly came over and looked at her distressedly: "Madam, you have worked hard."

"I'm fine. Come on, let's go to the magistrate's room."

Chen Changli nodded, took her hand and walked side by side with her to the county magistrate's room. Chen Changli took the lead and picked her up from the bed. He clamped her chin with his big hand and pried open her mouth.

"Madam." He called out, and Wan Shufang understood instantly. She picked up the water, stuffed the pill into the county magistrate's mouth, and gave him some water to drink.

After swallowing the pill with the water, Chen Changli let him go and threw him back to the bed to rest.

He turned to look at Wan Shufang and said in a low voice: "Is he okay like this?"

"I'm sure he'll be fine, but we still have to wait until he wakes up."

As the two were talking, the county magistrate on the bed suddenly moved his eyes.

But Chen Changli blocked the bed, so the two of them didn't see this scene. They were still worried about what would happen if he got worse.

Chen Changli was worried that Wan Shufang would be implicated, while Wan Shufang was worried that Shangguan Chu would be sad.
