I Fell In Love With Qing Leng Xue Shen Chapter 35
byChapter 35 Bite your tongue
Lu Jin had already taken Xie Shuhan to the private restaurant with his heart full of joy.
This restaurant is still the same as the last time I came here. When I opened the door, it made a soft “squeak” sound, cutting off the hustle and bustle of the outside world.
Dishes are served one after another on porcelain plates, and the aroma rises and entwines into the nostrils.
Lu Jin didn’t bother to use his chopsticks at all. He picked up Xie Shuhan’s bowl and gave him a spoonful of lotus seed and lily soup. Then he picked up a piece of tofu wrapped in golden crab powder and carefully placed it on the edge of the bowl for fear of burning him.
Xie Shuhan looked at the vegetables gradually piled up in the bowl, and then looked at the smile that couldn’t be hidden in Lu Jin’s eyes. He sighed helplessly, but still picked up the spoon and ate in small bites.
But Lu Jin didn’t seem to notice the remaining amount in his bowl, and still kept picking up food for him.
The crispness and tenderness of the stir-fried vegetables and the freshness and sweetness of the shrimps were put into Xie Shuhan’s bowl one by one. His eyes were filled with the stubbornness of “eat more”.
“No, Lu Jin, I won’t be able to finish eating any more.” Xie Shuhan finally couldn’t help but stop him and put down his spoon.
Looking at the small “hill” piled in the bowl, there was a hint of helpless indulgence in his eyebrows.
“You eat too, don’t keep staring at me.”
When Lu Jin heard this, he reluctantly stopped his chopsticks, but he still picked up another piece of ginkgo for him, with a gentle tone that could not be refused: “Eat more, you are so thin, your wrist is so thin that I can break it if I pinch it.”
Xie Shuhan didn’t answer any more, just picked up the spoon silently and continued to eat the food in the bowl.
He chewed every bite Lu Jin took, and the sweet taste spread on his tongue.
Lu Jin just propped his chin up and watched Xie Shuhan eating for a moment, without taking a few bites from his own bowl.
The warm yellow light fell on Xie Shuhan’s face, softening his cold eyebrows. His long eyelashes drooped, casting a small shallow shadow under his eyelids.
The lips pursed into a gentle arc, and the cheeks bulged slightly when chewing, like a cat that was satisfied with being fed, but still seemed a bit distant and noble.
He was mesmerized by the sight, and his heart felt as if it had been lightly hit by something, making it feel soft and hot. The joy and admiration hidden in his heart surged up his throat, and he blurted out: “Xie Shuhan, you look good.”
The voice was very soft, with a sigh of obsession, falling like a feather on Xie Shuhan’s ears.
Xie Shuhan didn’t react for a moment, he paused in his chewing action, and his teeth accidentally bit the tip of his tongue.
“Hiss…” A sharp sting spread from the tip of his tongue instantly. Xie Shuhan’s beautiful brows suddenly frowned and he subconsciously covered his mouth.
“What’s wrong?” Lu Jin suddenly came back to his senses. The obsession on his face was instantly replaced by nervousness. He immediately stood up, walked quickly to Xie Shuhan, leaned over and looked at him, his eyes full of anxiety.
“No,” Xie Shuhan shook his head and released his hand covering his mouth. The pain on the tip of his tongue made him slurred in speech, “I bit my tongue.”
“You bit your tongue?” Lu Jin’s heart suddenly lifted, and his tone became urgent.
“Is it serious? Is it bleeding? Let me take a look.” As he said that, he subconsciously moved forward and reached out to touch the corner of Xie Shuhan’s mouth.
“No, it’s okay, you’ll be fine in a while.” Xie Shuhan subconsciously turned his head to avoid it, the tips of his ears were instantly stained with a layer of crimson, and his eyes were a little evasive.
Letting others look at his tongue was too intimate, so intimate that he felt a little at a loss and his head started to get confused.
“No, open your mouth and let me take a look. What if it becomes inflamed?” Lu Jin was very persistent, and his tone was undeniably tough, but he was cautious, for fear of scaring him.
Without waiting for Xie Shuhan to refuse again, he stretched out his hand and gently pinched both sides of Xie Shuhan’s cheeks with his fingertips, applying slight pressure. His movements were as gentle as touching a fragile treasure.
Xie Shuhan’s cheek was gently pinched, and Xie Shuhan froze instantly. The blush on the tips of his ears spread quietly down his neck.
Under the gentle squeeze of Lu Jin’s fingertips, he involuntarily opened his mouth slightly, and a small piece of pink tongue gently pressed between his lips. The small damage on the tip of the tongue was clearly visible, and a little bright red blood droplet was stained on it, which was particularly dazzling.
Lu Jin’s eyes fell on the pink tongue, his pupils shrank slightly, and his heart suddenly beat fast, as if it was about to break his chest.
The soft texture of the pink tongue seemed to be felt through the air, and the bright red blood droplet was like a small flame, which instantly ignited the restlessness in his heart, making his mouth go dry and his breathing become rapid.
He swallowed subconsciously, his eyes went straight, and his fingertips trembled slightly.
“It’s… bleeding!” Lu Jin reacted suddenly, as if he had been burned, and immediately avoided looking, and released the hand holding Xie Shuhan’s cheek, with a hint of unnoticeable panic in his tone, “Just wait, I will buy you medicine, and I will be back soon!”
After saying that, he almost ran away, turned around and walked out without even giving Xie Shuhan a chance to speak.
Xie Shuhan looked at the back of him leaving in a hurry, opened his mouth, and wanted to say “don’t go to such trouble”, but when the words came to his mouth, he only saw Lu Jin disappearing from the door, and he didn’t even have time to grab the corner of his clothes.
Xie Shuhan was the only one left at the dining table. The warm yellow light was still gentle, and the food on the table was still steaming slightly, but he had no intention of continuing to eat.
He raised his hand and touched his cheek gently. The warmth of Lu Jin’s fingertips seemed to still be there, and it was so hot that it made him panic.
On the other side, Lu Jin rushed out of the restaurant and stood under the tree. The cool breeze blew and he calmed down the restless mood in his heart.
He raised his hand and pressed it on his hot cheek. Thinking of the pink tongue he had just seen and the red tips of Xie Shuhan’s ears, his heart beat wildly uncontrollably, and even the roots of his ears turned red.
He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
He raised his eyes and looked around, then walked quickly towards the lit drugstore not far away.
When the glass door of the drugstore was pushed open, the wind chime made a crisp sound. The clerk raised his head and asked with a smile: “Hello, what do you need?”
“Hello,” Lu Jin calmed down and tried to sound calm, but his ears were still red, “My friend accidentally bit his tongue. Please help me get some medicine that can relieve pain and promote healing.”
Hearing this, the clerk nodded, turned around and took a bottle of special oral spray from the shelf, and handed it to him: “This spray is very effective. Spray it on the wound. It relieves pain quickly and heals easily. Remember to spray it after meals, just three times a day.”
Lu Jin took the spray, said “thank you” in a hurry, scanned the QR code to pay, and walked out impatiently, just wanting to get back to Xie Shuhan as soon as possible.
But as soon as he walked out of the pharmacy door, before he could even take a step forward, a familiar voice came from behind, with a hint of deliberate familiarity: “Classmate Lu, what a coincidence.”
The sound was not harsh, but it contained a hint of temptation that was not easily noticeable, instantly stopping Lu Jin’s steps forward.
He turned around slowly, his eyes falling on the person who came, and the tenderness that had just remained in his eyes cooled down a bit in an instant.
