"Since you're here, I'll go out for a walk and get some fresh air." Standing behind Lu Chen, Old Ma yawned, looking a little tired, and said, "I've been locked up here for half a day, it's a little stuffy."
Lu Chen sat on the edge of the bed with his back facing him, looking at White Lotus, as if he was carefully observing her expression. After a moment of silence, he didn't turn around, and said in a very flat tone, "Okay."
Old Ma turned around and walked out. Just when he walked to the door and was about to step out, with his back facing Lu Chen, a strange and complicated expression finally appeared on his face. Suddenly, he heard Lu Chen suddenly call out from behind him, "Old Ma."
Old Ma's heart skipped a beat, and his feet slowly landed on the ground, raising some dust and making a low sound.
"What's wrong?" He smiled and turned around, asking Lu Chen's back.
Lu Chen still didn't look back at him, still staring at the unconscious White Lotus lying on the bed, as if all his attention was still on the girl. At the same time, he said to Old Ma in a very flat and casual tone, "When you come back later, bring some good wine and dishes. We haven't had a drink together for a long time."
Old Ma breathed a sigh of relief, a smile appeared on his face, and he scolded with a smile, "What are you talking about? We haven't had a drink because you've made a meteoric rise, haven't you? It's a small matter, leave it to me. " After saying that, he seemed to feel a little funny, laughed twice, and strode out.
…
The room was quiet again, and no one knew when Atsu disappeared from this room, and no one knew where he went in the blink of an eye. In such a big house, it gradually gave people a feeling of emptiness, as if in such a big place, only this bedroom had a little vitality left.
The anger came from the two people in the room, Lu Chen and White Lotus, who looked like a dead person but was still alive.
Lu Chen quietly stared at White Lotus. His eyes looked very calm, and there was almost no strange expression on his face. His whole person seemed very calm and collected.
Most of the time, his gaze landed on Bai Lian's fair neck in a strange manner. Even though there were times when he would shift his gaze away to look at other parts of her body in order to check on her injuries, he would quickly turn his gaze back to her.
To be honest, it wasn't very polite for a man to stare at a girl's neck like this. If White Lotus was still awake, she would probably get angry. However, she was the one who was unconscious. Perhaps she didn't feel anything from the outside world, so she naturally didn't have any reaction.
Lu Chen's gaze gradually became a bit deep and complicated. In this silence, he seemed to be thinking or judging something in his mind, and the expression on his face didn't look too good. After a moment, suddenly Lu Chen stretched out his hand, and this time directly placed it on the side of White Lotus's neck. He carefully touched the edge of her clothes a few times.
This action of course was a bit excessive, and even crossed the line. In the midst of this, Lu Chen's fingers even directly touched the soft skin of White Lotus. At the edge of her clothes and even near her collarbone, he continuously pressed a few times, as if he was finally confirming something.
After a while, he slowly straightened his body and expressionlessly stood up.
He had already obtained his answer.
The tree branch necklace that White Lotus used to wear was now gone, and on the originally white soft and even perfect skin, there was a small inconspicuous spot on the side and back of an inconspicuous place, there was a small inconspicuous faint red.
It was like the blush that a girl's cheeks would have when she was shy, or as if she had just been lightly shaved.
…
Lu Chen stood by the bed for a while, slightly frowning as he pondered. His hand hung by his side, calm and harmless. From this place, it wasn't very far from White Lotus who was lying on the bed. He only needed to bend down slightly, and this hand could once again return to the girl's neck.
The beautiful girl slept quietly, as if she didn't know that there was such a hand beside her that could snap her neck at any time.
The room was abnormally quiet, and one could even vaguely hear a strange sound in the extreme silence. It sounded like a person's heartbeat, but when one listened carefully, the sound disappeared, as if it was just an illusion.
Lu Chen stood there for a long time. At some point, he suddenly sighed softly, shook his head, and left the bedside. He walked to the door and looked out. Looking at the empty courtyard, he suddenly whistled loudly.
The whistle broke the somewhat strange and uncomfortable silence, like a blade piercing a piece of white paper. After a while, a sudden bark rang out. From another corner of the room, the Black Dog scuttled out and trotted all the way back to Lu Chen's side.
Lu Chen smiled. He didn't mind the dirt and sat directly on the doorsill. Then, he hugged Atsu's head and stroked it hard. His eyes flickered as he said, "Stay here with me and wait for Old Ma to come back."
Atsu looked at him, and then obediently lay on the ground beside him.
Lu Chen didn't say anything else. He just sat there and waited patiently.
Time passed slowly. The light and shadow in the sky flickered, and the reflection in the room was also constantly changing. In the light and shadow, Lu Chen's face remained motionless like a statue, as if he had hidden all his emotions.
Old Ma still didn't come back.
When the sky gradually darkened and night finally fell, the house fell into darkness in the silence. Even Lu Chen's figure was swallowed by the surging darkness, but Old Ma still didn't come back.
Lu Chen had been sitting on the doorsill for a long time. He seemed to be particularly patient today, or perhaps there was an unusual desire in his heart that allowed him to sit there and wait for his friend.
The food and wine he promised, the drinks he promised, had yet to come true.
The sky was dark, and Atsu had already fallen asleep. There was some snoring, as if it was laughing at Lu Chen's ridiculous persistence.
Lu Chen looked up at the quiet night sky, and for a moment, he was also in a trance. He took one last look at the quiet courtyard, stood up silently, and walked back to the bedroom.
"Bang!" He slammed the door.
Atsu was still sleeping, and seemed to turn a deaf ear to this sound.
"Pa da", Lu Chen lit a candle in the room, and then walked to White Lotus, who had not woken up until now. He picked up one of her hands and checked it. He found that her pulse was stable, and the injuries on her body seemed to be improving. It seemed that her life was not in danger. What was strange was that the culprit that had been raging in her body, the tyrannical spiritual power, seemed to have been completely cleansed. Although the power of the spiritual power had been greatly weakened, it had completely calmed down and hid quietly in the Sea of Qi in White Lotus's Dantian. It seemed that as long as it was given time, it would even show signs of merging with White Lotus's own spiritual power.
This was the effect of the Blood Food Secret Method. Lu Chen was well aware of this. He glanced at White Lotus and smiled slightly, but the smile was slightly sarcastic.
"I don't know if you heard what the damn baldy said …" He said, "You dare to eat such a deadly thing?"
