Chapter 783: Chapter 474 Preaching, Teaching, and Returning to Great Li
It is well known that Zhao Rong always wore three jade pendants.
One was a white Jade Token signifying a settled relationship, another was a temporary Jade from the scholar Linlu, and there was one more jade, which at this moment was grasped in Qian’er’s hand.
The moment she had a handle on him, his spirit was instantly invigorated.
“Qian’er, let go quickly,” he said with a stern tone.
His voice was serious.
“What… what jade is this?” Qian’er’s voice trembled a bit.
Zhao Rong felt the waters of Heart Lake, which had just calmed down a bit, suddenly become hard to contain again, with waves rising and surging.
He felt the hand clutching the jade tremble as well, but it stubbornly refused to let go, seemingly frozen in place, so he had no choice but to exhale helplessly and say:
“This is the Family Inheritance Jade of the Old Zhao Family, you must let it go quickly, don’t squeeze it.”
Qian’er furrowed her dainty brows, seeming to confirm it against some memory of another jade, and she shook her head defiantly, “Brother Rong’er, I remember it was a piece of soft jade, ah, why is it different now? Did… did you practice wrongly and suffer from Deviation?”
Her tone was anxious and concerned.
Zhao Rong fought against the waves welling up inside Heart Lake Water. These waves of desire not only threatened to engulf him but also to drown the innocent and curious Qian’er in his arms, tear her to pieces, fling her to the shore, and keep battering her with huge waves until she drowned and passed out.
“Suffer from Deviation, huh.” He took a deep breath, thought for a moment, and then said seriously, “Does concentrating all the blood in the body to one spot count?”
“…” Qian’er.
She was stunned for a moment, and the next second, tears reddened the corners of her pitiful peach-blossom eyes as she rushed to say:
“Brother Rong’er, what’s wrong with you in the end? Do you have a health problem? Don’t hide it from me, eh? Isn’t this the Family Inheritance Jade of our Old Zhao Family? Why has it become like this? It wasn’t like this when we were children, I and the miss have seen it, how did it swell up like this now, will it hurt?”
The little girl paled with fright, close to tears.
Zhao Rong opened his mouth in dumbfounded silence.
Are you serious? So all this time, this little girl had thought that? What was the rush for her to come over here tonight? Good grief, rushing headfirst without knowing anything, yet daring to be the first to come over for a lesson…
He looked at the innocent, teary-eyed face in front of him and suddenly felt a surge of guilt.
Qian’er stomped her feet and sulked, “You, you better tell me, and no joking. If it’s really bad, we should go see the doctor right now, we can’t delay. Otherwise, let’s not be affectionate tonight, another day. Hmm, how serious is it, I know some medical massage that can promote blood circulation and disperse bruises,” she said, bending her knees, about to squat to check for injuries.
The young Confucian Scholar immediately held her in place with his hand, sighed, and bowed his head, whispering a few words into the little girl’s ear.
Suddenly, the air in the room fell silent for a moment.
“…”
“…”
Only to see the little girl’s expression change from puzzled frowning to a slight shock with her mouth open, then to blushing and scowling, and finally to…
“You stink, Brother Rong’er! Bad Zhao Rong, you big bully, you… you devil…”
The next second, Qian’er’s fists rained down on Zhao Rong’s chest like a torrential downpour.
She stomped on his feet and hammered at this Rong’er brother, who suddenly felt very annoying.
Zhao Rong leaned back in defense, “No, why are you suddenly hitting me? How have I bullied you? I’ve told you everything you should know.”
“Hmph, I just want to hit you. Why are you so bad? You bullied me when we were little, you bullied me when we grew up, you bullied me during the day, you bullied me in dreams at night, and now you’re still bullying me. Anytime I’m with you, all you know is to bully people! Every… every single part of you is bad, always there to bully people, to bully me and miss for a lifetime, Zhao Rong, you’re too mean, wuu wuu wuu…”
Qian’er glared at this nemesis, grinding her teeth, and wishing she could immediately pounce on him and bite him to death.
Zhao Rong took a deep breath, feeling a bit overwhelmed, “Stop making trouble, go back to sleep quickly, or I’ll have to teach you a lesson.”
Unexpectedly, Qian’er pinched his nose fiercely and scolded, “Teach your head, you stink, Brother Rong’er! I… I’ll hammer you to death!”
With that, she angrily and shamefully hopped up, clamped her slender legs, and clung to him like a koala, with her two little fists furiously pounding his chest, determined to be the avenger of the people.
Zhao Rong: “…”
Fearing that the capricious little girl in love might fall, he hastily held her aloft with his hands. However, after a moment’s thought, he decided it wouldn’t hurt to hold her, so he supported her legs, letting her act spoiled and foolish as she pleased.
His eyes were helpless yet indulgent, but the suppressed blood threads were faintly pulsing in the depths of his eyes.
Zhao Rong suddenly felt Qian’er was very light.
Indeed, at seventeen, she had always been a charming little maid, with a small and slim figure, and now with two cute ponytails…
If he accidentally traveled back to his past life in memory, Qian’er would definitely be considered a loli sauce girl, possibly a darkly clever type, probably very popular and the dream of many netizens.
But at this moment, in this world, she indeed was his, always his…
This was initially just a subconscious selfish thought from Zhao Rong, but the next moment, it suddenly enlarged by some force. He had been cautious and restraining his lust, lacking energy, and was momentarily inattentive to other emotions. However, now this selfish and domineering sentiment took advantage of his vulnerability, instantly filling Heart Lake.
The most frightening thing was that for a moment, he wasn’t even aware of it, or perhaps, Zhao Rong was indeed aware, but he excused himself with a justification that rose from the bottom of his heart, allowing this selfish thought to ‘naturally’ take the main place in Heart Lake without holding back his wild thoughts and desires.
