Chapter 48(2/3)
She went to the place where she usually picked wild fruits, looked up at the wild fruits at high places, and confirmed that she was not as good as picking. She accepted her fate and picked a few small and raw ones under her. She bit her mouth sourly and tasted very unpalatable.
She endured the sour smell of her teeth and forced herself to eat a few. In the end, she didn't know if it was sour or something else. Her hunger almost dissipated, and she was a little energetic.
Shi Li took a breath, and when she turned around, she saw Chen Jingyan standing behind her with a gloomy face, holding two oil paper bags in her hand. Shi Li knew that it was filled with soup bags. She swallowed her saliva and suddenly felt that the feeling of fullness just now was an illusion. Now she was so hungry that she could swallow a cow.
However, she didn't dare to open her mouth and ask Chen Jingyan for buns, so she could only ask with a dry smile: "Why are you here?"
"Who asked you to come out?" Chen Jingyan's voice sounded at the same time as her.
Shi Li paused: "I, I'll come out to find something to eat."
Seeing that she dared to admit it, Chen Jingyan's face became even more gloomy, and after a moment, he said coldly: "Go back."
"……good."
Shi Li nodded and followed him toward the cave. But she had overdoed yesterday. She pulled it so hard that she could only follow behind slowly, watching the distance between herself and Shen Jingyan grows bigger and bigger.
"You walk so slowly, do you want to run?" Chen Jingyan stopped and asked coldly.
Shi Li shook his head quickly: "No."
Just as she decided to grit her teeth and follow her, she suddenly floated up as if she was tied up by an invisible rope, and automatically followed Shen Jingyan, as if he was flying a kite. Her heart moved, and her thoughts suddenly became a little complicated.
Chen Jingyan returned to the cave with the floating Shi Li, threw her directly on the bed, and sat down at the stone table, opened the two oil paper bags he had been carrying, and the fragrance of the soup bag instantly floated out.
Shi Li's stomach began to rumpy again. Chen Jingyan pretended not to hear it, and picked up one with a calm look on his face, waiting for her to beg for mercy from him.
However, he underestimated Shi Li's backbone. He ate three times in a row, but he didn't even see her begging for mercy. He also saw her lying down directly, as if he was going to numb himself with sleep.
Chen Jingyan's face turned dark, and he threw his chopsticks and said angrily: "What kind of bun is so unpalatable!"
Shi Li's ears moved, thinking that if you don't like it, then give it to me.
Then Chen Jing said the next sentence: "You come here to eat, don't let the disgusting taste spread everywhere."
Shi Li was shocked and hurriedly sat up. After looking at him, he carefully confirmed: "Is it for me to eat?"
"There is a third living thing in this cave?" Chen Jingyan mocked.
Shi Li pleased Xiaoxiao, as if she was afraid that he would go back on her regret. However, when she got out of bed, she still pulled the wound and her face changed immediately.
When she saw her face turned pale, Chen Jingyan subconsciously wanted to go over to support her, but before she could take action, she hurried towards herself, and she could not see any discomfort, so his movement of getting up stopped again.
Shi Li sat opposite him, picked up the clean chopsticks and started eating. Because he was too fast to eat, he was burning, and his lips, which were already sucked, became even redder.
"Slow down, like a starving ghost." Chen Jingyan said in a bad tone.
Shi Li shook for a moment and slowed down obediently. Chen Jingyan saw her listening to her like this, so he should be happy, but he felt a dissatisfied feeling, as if they had just met, and she was still a family sparrow raised by her.
Shi Li didn't know how complicated Chen Jingyan was at this moment, but just focused on the soup dumplings in front of him. As soon as he ate the bun, he knew that it had just been out of the pot. He didn't know what Chen Jingyan used to do. After he brought it back, it was not softened by hot air. The dough was still as strong as before. The soup inside was hot, and the fragrant smell exploded in his mouth after taking a bite.
She squinted her eyes with pleasure, and soon finished all the two oil-paper-packed soup buns. When she burped, she thought that if Chen Jingyan hadn't bought her food, why would he take two pairs of chopsticks?
As soon as this doubt arose, a little memory of the night of last year appeared in her mind. Thinking of her entangled Chen Jingyan like that, he was not angry at all, but instead hugged her with his backhand.
...Probably he likes himself, so even if he hates himself not like him, he can't help but continue to like him. Shi Li pursed her lips and looked at him carefully.
"When you have enough, go to bed and lie down." Chen Jingyan said impatiently.
Shi Li responded and stood up slowly to walk on the bed, as if she couldn't stand her as slow as she was. She had just taken two steps when a gust of wind rolled her to the bed, and she lay down instantly.
Chen Jingyan walked over with a expressionless face, grabbed her belt and forced her to untie it.
Shi Li was stunned for a moment and hurriedly grabbed it: "No, no now..." She still felt very painful. If she did it again, she might feel painful.
Chen Jingyan pretended not to hear it, and took off all her clothes with her power that she could not refuse. The place where Shi Li held desperately made a tear sound, and only broken fabric was left in her hand.
When his legs were opened, Shi Li closed his eyes humiliatedly, and tears fell silently from the end of his eyes. Chen Jingyan took out a porcelain bottle from his arms, and when he looked up, he saw her crying silently. He suddenly felt panic and frowned and scolded: "It's just that I want to give you medicine, why are you crying!"
Shi Li was stunned and opened her eyes with tears in her eyes: "Is it just a medicine?"
"Otherwise, what do you think I'm going to do?" Chen Jingyan thought of the answer after asking, and his face suddenly became even more ugly. "In your eyes, I am so beastly?"
Shi Li bit his lip, but he still continued to cry without being tense. Chen Jingyan was really panicked this time and put down the porcelain bottle and said in a hard voice: "It's not a punishment for taking medicine. What's the point of crying? Don't say you don't want to. If you don't use medicine, you will be very slowly. You will suffer at that time."
"...I'm sorry." Shi Li apologized with sobs.
Chen Jingyan paused for a moment, picked up the porcelain bottle with one hand, and cut a piece of transparent ointment inside with the other hand, grabbed her legs and poked it in. When he heard Shi Li groaning, he spoke coldly: "Why apologize? I feel guilty if I can't respond to my feelings? Then you like me!"
Although I wanted to pretend to be casual, the last sentence still couldn't help but reveal resentment.
Shi Li's hand grabbed the bedding under her tightly, tightened her toes with discomfort and pleasure, and replied intermittently: "I can't do it..."
Before she finished speaking, Chen Jingyan added a little more effort and she couldn't say anything.
"What can't be done? Where isn't I worthy of your liking?" Chen Jingyan asked indifferently.
However, Shi Li could no longer answer his question. He could only apply medicine to her first, and then help her put on her clothes after the end, and asked again: "Aren't I good enough to you?"
"Good enough." Shi Li's breathing was a little unstable, her cheeks were also suspiciously red, and her hair was loosely draped, looking seductive but unaware.
Chen Jingyan's Adam's apple moved, resisted the urge to remove her again, and asked with a stern face: "Then why don't you like me? Because I'm a snake?"
Shi Li hesitated for a moment, not knowing how to explain.
"Is this the reason?" Chen Jingyan gritted his teeth, and the thought he had just given her disappeared in an instant. "I don't dislike you □□ Most of the mortal fetus are dirty, and you still dislike me as a demon."
"...No need to say that." Shi Li couldn't help but say.
Chen Jingyan sneered: "What do you want me to say? Don't you dislike me as a snake, so you don't like me? I ask you, if I were a human being, born with such a good appearance and treat you very well, you will definitely have a relationship with me."
His tone was stiff, as if he was questioning, but there was a hint of expectation in his eyes.
Shi Li looked at his eyes and suddenly made sure that he would not kill him anymore. He relaxed for a moment.
As soon as people relaxed, they wanted to tell the truth. Shi Li thought about it for a moment and shook her head: "No."
"What do you mean?" Chen Jingyan's eyes instantly turned into vertical pupils.
Usually at this time, Shi Li was almost scared to death, but today he was not nervous. After a long silence, he smiled bitterly: "If you were kidnapped, would you like the one who kidnapped you?"
Chen Jingyan was stunned.
"Your life is in his hands, and life and death all depend on his mood. If he is in a bad mood, he will give you poison or torture you in other ways. You are always on the verge of danger and may be pushed down the abyss by him at any time. If it were you, would you like such a person?" Shi Li said, and his thoughts gradually became clear.
Yes, compared to the inability to be independent of life, even being a human or a demon is not so important. Even if Chen Jingyan treats her very well, it cannot cover up the possibility that she will be killed by him at any time. Their relationship has been unequal from the beginning. If she is a superior, she may also like the superior. But when she is a subordinate, she has to rack her brains to save her life, so how dare she like the superior?
She could be sure that even if Chen Jingyan was not a snake, she would not like him.
Chen Jingyan looked at her in a daze, caught off guard by her problem, and after a long time he put it on: "But I'm good to you..."
"In the unequal relationship, you are a gift for me to be kind to you," Shi Li said, seeing Chen Jingyan want to object, and then added, "Can you guarantee that you don't expect to get anything from me when you are kind to me?"
Chen Jingyan suddenly closed his mouth. Of course he hoped that he was kind to her just to make her like him and unable to live without him, but she was good, because she couldn't live without him, but she didn't like him at all.
Shi Li smiled slightly: "Your good is priced. If I accept it, I have to work hard to repay the debt. Once I can't pay it back, you may take my life. Just like this time I found out that I don't like you anymore, don't you want to kill me? But think about it carefully, as the slave you caught, I have done something wrong except not like you?"
Chen Jingyan was speechless.
"Although you may be even more angry when you say that, what I want to say is that I don't think it's wrong to not love you." Shi Li took a deep breath and finally said everything he wanted to say, "Whether husband and wife or lover, they are all equal and will tolerate and support each other, but you and I are not. I need to live with you, and you don't like that I will go against your will, so there is no love between us."
At this moment, whether Chen Jingyan was a snake demon was not important to her. What is important is that she has already figured out her mind and knew why she could never fall in love with him.
After she said that, she was a little worried, afraid that Chen Jingyan would be annoyed by her words, so she slapped herself to death, but when she thought about it, she felt that he would not do this.
Chen Jingyan stared at her for a long time. When Shili was about to overturn her thoughts, he suddenly asked, "If I change, will you like me?"
Shi Li was stunned: "What?"
"What else can you do? You are not deaf, didn't you hear it?" Chen Jingyan immediately became impatient, but after saying that, he remembered what she had just said, and then suppressed his temper, "Except for the point of turning from a demon into a mortal, you can't change anything else you want me to change, I'll change."
Shi Li: "... Are you going to chase me?"
"I'm fine and chasing you what to do, do you still want to run away?" Chen Jingyan asked with a frown.
Shi Li twitched the corner of his mouth, and took a deep breath after a while: "Let me do it first."
In order to make her like him, Chen Jingyan had to change his personality... This world is so magical. Is he still the gloomy and crazy snake? Why did he suddenly become a loyal dog?
Shi Li felt that she could not be deceived by the illusion. No matter how reasonable he seemed, he could not hide the fact that he would kill someone when he got angry. If she really thought he could make a mistake, she would be so dazed.
...But even if you don't believe it, you have to cooperate a little, otherwise what should he do if he gets angry again?
Shi Li was confused for a moment and said carefully: "That... you won't kill me in the future, will you?"
"No killing," Chen Jingyan said for a moment and said hard, "I didn't plan to kill before. It was you who picked my scales and hurt me, so my muscles tightened. I didn't think I could strangle you to death."
Although he didn't want to admit it, even when he was extremely angry, he never thought of killing her.
Shi Li was stunned for a moment. Seeing his serious expression, he suddenly felt that what he said might be true... The main reason was that he had no reason to lie to her. He was much stronger than himself. He could kill her with just two fingers, and he had promised to change it, so there was no need to lie any more effort.
Shi Li was a little shaken.
"Tell me quickly, let me change something." Chen Jingyan urged.
Shi Li thought for a while: "Don't lose your temper."
"Okay." Chen Jingyan agreed immediately.
Shi Li swallowed his saliva: "Don't humiliate me at any time. If it were in the mortal world, you wouldn't be able to marry a wife with such a mouth."
Chen Jingyan frowned, and she didn't dare to speak at all. Fortunately, he thought for a long time and reluctantly agreed: "It's OK, but don't be angry with me."
"I don't like you except for not liking you, it seems that everything else is not angry with you." Shi Li looked innocent.
To be continued...
