Ch111 - Shao Ge

How to get along with each other?

Last night, they were lying on both sides of the bed, saying nothing. Although they didn’t sleep with their backs to each other, they didn’t face each other either. Instead, they were facing the ceiling. In the past, when Big Miss was still Big Miss, he would sleep in her arms.

This stimulus really was too much.

But at this time, he was still blind and inconvenient to move around.

Xiao Shao put something beside him, “Clothes.”

Lin Shu: “……Thank you.”

In this situation, he could continue to take care of him. Xiao Shao was really a good person.

He picked up the outer robe, fumbled a few times to find out where the neckline was, then put in one sleeve and looked for the other one.

The material of the clothes was slippery, like water, no difference can be seen. He made a mistake several times and could not put on the second sleeve.

Feeling embarrassed, a hand passed through his back and picked up a corner of the cloth: “Here.”

The voice was very light, and he couldn’t hear any emotions on it, just like the wisp of cold plum fragrance…

Lin Shu remembered the image of Xiao Shao he had seen in the Dreamscape.

High above anyone else, cold as ice.

He was even more confused, feeling very helpless.

After helplessly putting on clothes, it was time to wash.

The place to wash was in the yard, and a wooden ladle was used to fetch water from the water tank.

He and Xiao Shao got up at about the same time, at the end of Yin, which is five o’clock in the morning. At this time, there was still no movement in the village, he thought they had not gotten up yet.

He took the green salt and water from Xiao Shao, and finally took the cloth towel from Xiao Shao to dry himself. He felt that he had completely lost his ability to take care of himself, so he planned to turn over the brocade bag immediately, find a Pristine Pill to eat, and avoid these chores.

There were too many things that a blind person cannot do.

After doing chores, Xiao Shao said, “I will take you back to the room.”

Lin Shu let out an “En”, was held by Xiao Shao’s on his wrist and walked on the way back to the room.

It was cold in the morning, and his face had just been washed, it was a bit painful from the sting of the wind.

His wrist was being held loosely, it felt a bit strange, and he’s not very used to it.

Lin Shu thought blankly, it turned out that he and Big Miss had become accustomed to holding hands directly, and sometimes they even touched each other.

——But now they returned directly to the unfamiliar, handshake stage, still out of necessity to take care of the blind.

So, after returning to the room, he said “Thank you” to Xiao Shao.

Xiao Shao said: “No need to thank me.”

Lin Shu sat back on the bed and didn’t know what to do.

Xiao Shao sat down beside him.

Lin Shu didn’t know what to say.

After a while, he hesitated: “Thank you for taking care of me these two days. ”

“No need to thank me.” Xiao Shao said: “You were injured saving me.”

Lin Shu said: “You were also, you stayed to deal with them to save me and Yue Ruohe.”

Xiao Shao said, “It’s my fault  for bringing you to Northern Xia out of selfishness and put you in danger.”

Lin Shu said: “You… took care of me a lot in the academy, and I couldn’t see you going to Northern Xia alone to commit a risk.”

A word of thanks gradually evolved into a mutual review.

Lin Shu thought, no matter how he sees it, no matter how he says it, whether it’s Big Miss, Cousin, or Xiao Shao, they have all taken care of him by themselves, and he really owes them a lot.

——But because of the limitation of physiological function, he can’t give birth to Yingying and pay him back.

Xiao Shao stopped the topic and asked him, “Does it still hurt?”

It actually hurts.

His meridians were broken, there was no reason not to hurt.

Lin Shu pursed his lips, and finally whispered: “It doesn’t hurt anymore.”

Xiao Shao was silent for a while, not sure whether he believed him or not, and said, “Continue to take medicine.”

After that, Lin Shu heard the sound of pulling the cork out of the jade bottle.

A few heavy pills were put on his hand.

Lin Shu thought that when he woke up, the pain in his meridians had been much lessened than at the beginning, and Xiao Shao must have fed himself the pill.

He slowly swallowed the pills one by one, feeling a trace of guilt.

These medicines must be holy medicines of invaluable value. In the past, he had gradually gotten used to using Big Miss’ things.

But… something from Xiao Shao.

He always felt that he was eating for nothing and owed something.

After all, both of them were men, so the marriage contract was of course useless.

The marriage contract was nothing, and they may not even be able to make it as friends.

He thought about it from Xiao Shao’s perspective, and felt that this incident was really unpleasant.

In this way, when facing Xiao Shao, he was even more at a loss, and he was almost back to the stage when he first met Big Miss.

He wanted to thank Xiao Shao again, and before he could organize the wording, he heard Xiao Shao say, “The marriage contract…”

Lin Shu didn’t want to hear, but he wanted to hear a little bit, and finally raised his ears up, as if he was a criminal waiting for the sentence.

“About the marriage contract, I thought my mother and your master might know the inside story.”

Lin Shu: “Yeah.”

He thought about this for a long time last night.

First of all, Lord Taoyuan knew that he was a boy, and Xiao Shao’s mother must also know that Xiao Shao was a boy.

Does Lord Taoyuan know that Xiao Shao was a boy?

He may or may not know.

It was the same with Xiao Shao’s mother.

So there were two possibilities for this engagement. One possibility is that both parties did not know about it and made a ridiculous engagement.

The second possibility was that they were fully aware. And knew perfectly well that these were two boys, a marriage contract was still made——why should a marriage contract be made for the two boys?

As he was thinking, he heard Xiao Shao say, “Therefore, I think, our marriage contract back then may have something else hidden. How much do you remember about your master?”

Lin Shu said, “I don’t remember anything.”

Xiao Shao: “Then how did you cultivate your tribulation realm?”

Lin Shu: “……”

Oh no, this is bad, a huge flaw.

If a person has forgotten his master, and his memories before the age of fifteen were completely clean, how can he have the cultivation base of crossing the tribulation?

He could only bite the bullet and said, “I only remember martial arts.”

Fortunately, Xiao Shao didn’t entangle this issue much, but talked about what he knew.

“My true identity must not be known to others. Therefore, my mother said that Lord Taoyuan’s apprentices may disguise himself as a man in the future. In this way, I can complete the marriage contract with her without worrying about being married or reconciliation by my father.”

Lin Shu: “…”

He focused on one thing, even his own father did not know that this man was disguised as a woman.

His Father didn’t know, so he can be excused for not knowing.

Lin Shu had a lot of inner balance.

Then he said, “In this way, your mother means that Lord Taoyuan knows you are a man.”

Xiao Shao: “It is true.”

Then he said, “Lord Taoyuan was an immortal monarch who has emerged from the world and will not do anything to deceive her.”

Lin Shu thought about it and felt that there was indeed something strange.

It can’t be that the elders of both sides were afraid that their children won’t be able to find a partner in the future. No matter what happens or many things going on, they will be brought together, right?

However, he felt that if the marriage contract had a deep meaning, it would come to light sooner or later. Now a more critical question is, how should he and Xiao Shao handle their relationship?

He looked at Xiao Shao, even if he was blind, he still had to use his eyes to express his sincerity.

Xiao Shao was quiet.

After a while, as if knowing what he was talking about, he said, “I thought a lot last night.”

Lin Shu: “Yeah.”

“This matter is not what you and I wanted, but it can’t be changed.” Xiao Shao said faintly, “You and I will get along as usual for the time being. When I return to the Phoenix Mountain Villa, I will ask about the background of the marriage contract before making plans.”

Lin Shu nodded.

He thought Xiao Shao would be so angry that he wanted to cut off his robe. He didn’t expect that he could still keep a little shaky friendship.

After a moment’s silence, Xiao Shao asked, “Are you still willing to wear women’s clothing?”

Lin Shu was reluctant.

But he has become Xiao Shao’s little lady who had just miscarried in the eyes of the aunt, I’m afraid that he will not be able to wear menswear.

He said, “I will keep on wearing skirts.”

But Xiao Shao asked, “Would you like to?”

Lin Shu’s fingers unconsciously scratched the sheets and said, “I don’t want to.”

Girls were indeed very beautiful, but he was still a little reluctant to wear skirts.

Xiao Shao let out an “En”, picked up his brocade bag, and put a piece of clothing next to Lin Shu after a while he said, “Let’s wear it back.”

Lin Shu: “Can I wear it?”

Xiao Shao: “Yes.”

Although it seems to be a different person, Xiao Shao and Big Miss have the same feeling to others—Lin Shu feels that since he said yes, that’s okay.

He changed back to men’s clothes.

After changing into men’s clothes, Xiao Shao said, “Here.”

He was completely dominated and sat in a place where he didn’t know what it was.

Then Xiao Shao began to comb his loose hair.

After combing it well, he tied it in a simple bun.

——This time, he completely changed back to what a normal gender should be.

For no reason, Lin Su suddenly remembered the scene when he was outside and tied Big Miss’s hair, feeling a little confused.

Xiao Shao seemed to sigh softly, and then said: “You…that’s fine.”

After he finished fixing his hair, the cock crowed three times outside, and the yard started to ring.

Xiao Shao said, “I’ll go out to help the aunt, you stay in the room.”

Lin Shu was relieved, he stayed in the room with nothing else to do, only quietly listening to the voice of the whole village.

The sound of chickens, the sound of distant people, the sound of splashing water, the sound of pulling the stove bellows in the kitchen.

There were faint voices from Xiao Shao and Auntie. Lin Shu listened carefully and heard Xiao Shao find a perfect reason for his menswear.

It was roughly two people wandering around the rivers and lakes, and finally realized that people’s hearts are sinister, they must act in a low-key manner, and women would gather more attention.

The little lady intends to dress up as a man when she is outside in the future to match her brother.

He would try it these days and see if he could look more like it.

The aunt said, the little lady was so beautiful, she was blessed, but when the world was bad, she can pretend to be a man.

After a while, when the food was ready, Xiao Shao came and took him to breakfast.

As soon as he went out, he heard the aunt clapping her hands in praise, “What a handsome little man! Don’t let other girls see him!”

Lin Shu was a little embarrassed and just smiled.

As if he were a baby in her own eyes, she asked him to sit down. She served him with food and soup.

Lin Shu thought, thanks to Xiao Shao’s mask, the aunt couldn’t see his face clearly, she just treated him like a half-black crow, praised him if he was good, and criticized him if he was bad.

Otherwise, if she sees this person’s appearance, I’m afraid aunt will probably add another treasure to her heart.

——Although he had never seen the real face under Xiao Shao’s mask, the Big Miss was very beautiful and Cousin was so handsome. Xiao Shao would never be ugly.

“In my opinion, there’s nothing wrong with this appearance,” said the old lady. “I want to hear you call for your brother.”

Xiao Shao said: “Shu-di.”

Let’s go, Shu-mei has become Shu-di.

Lin Shu thought about what he should call Xiao Shao——there is no tradition in immortal Taoism, but only one name, so he can only draw a gourd and say, “Shao-ge.”

Auntie smiled extremely abnormally: “Wonderful!”

After a while, they started to eat. Xiao Shao said, “I’ll feed you.”

After being fed a few spoonfuls, Lin Shu realized that this action could be completed without eyes. If it was not easy to bother his Shao Gege, he said, “I’ll do it.”

He gave him the spoon.

At first, everything went well. After a few mouthfuls of porridge, Lin Shu was fed several chopsticks of vegetables by Xiao Shao and his aunt.

It started when his spoon was in the wrong place and hit the wall of the bowl.

The next moment, his spoon fell directly outside, scooping out.

Xiao Shao laughed.

Lin Shu: “……”

His Shao Gege took the spoon back from his hand.

When he took it away, he said with a smile, “Little blind man.”

Lin Shu, who had been ridiculed, could only continue to accept the feeding and secretly held a grudge against the “Little blind man”.
