Xie Jing Xing got up and picked up the teapot from the small table at the side and poured the water inside clean. He then stretched one hand out of the boat and scooped up a pot of lake water and placed it on the stove to boil. He said, "I indeed do not have good intentions but seeing that you are loyal, one will be a good person for once." Speaking till here, he looked up at Shen Miao and said, "Everyone said that Shen Xin is loyal and righteous but one did not expect that a girl from the Shen family would also be loyal. Many thanks to you for not selling me out. "
He was half joking and half serious so Shen Miao did not explain that he had misunderstood. At that time in that situation, if she had immediately said that the person in the secret room was Xie Jing Xing, those two people would have immediately killed her. Who did not know how to stall for time but Xie Jing Xing thought that she did not say it because of loyalty and to make Xie Jing Xing feel that he owed her a favour, why not? Thus Shen Miao did not intend to clarify this misunderstanding.
However Shen Miao lowered her head and pondered. Even if she really sold Xie Jing Xing out, with Xie Jing Xing's ability, he would still be able to retreat unscathed. Just now she heard clearly that those two people definitely had companions nearby but now there was no movement at all, so one could imagine who was the one who did it.
After a short silence, the water in the teapot boiled. Xie Jing Xing casually tore off a piece of cloth from the corner of his robe and dipped it in the hot water. With one hand, he held Shen Miao's calf and placed it on his knee and the other hand wiped the dirty blood around the wound.
Shen Miao's feet were almost in Xie Jing Xing's embrace and she could feel his cold clothes. The material was also cold and stiff, as if his frivolous appearance was cold and solemn. Shen Miao was somewhat uncomfortable and turned her head away and her toes could not help but curl up slightly. In her past life, other than Fu Xiu Yi, she did not have such intimate contact with other males. Even if it was Fu Xiu Yi, now that she recalled it, it was more of a reluctance. Most of the time, Fu Xiu Yi left her with the impression of a 'Sovereign King'. Thus there were almost no males that she had seen in her youth.
Feeling somewhat silent, Shen Miao looked for a topic and asked, "Who are those people?"
The 'those people' that she was talking about was naturally that skinny and tall person. Hearing this, Xie Jing Xing did not speak. He only wiped off the dirty blood on Shen Miao's calf and sprinkled some medicinal powder before taking out a handkerchief to bandage it for her. When he was doing this, he lowered his head and looked extremely serious. His technique was also very skilled, as if dressing wounds was something that he was very familiar with. The lights on the boat flickered, the lanterns of the Wan Li Lake were like brocade, shining brightly on his face. The youth's features were unbelievably handsome, and it seemed that in this brief moment of brilliance, there was an illusion of gentleness.
Even Shen Miao could not help but be slightly startled. However this illusion of gentleness did not last long. Xie Jing Xing put down her feet and suddenly both hands were by Shen Miao's side as he leaned closer. His well-defined face was in close proximity and his peach blossom eyes seemed to be filled with intoxicating wine as he looked over with a smile that was not a smile. It was clearly a casual action but it was so strong that it made one unable to breathe.
Shen Miao calmly looked at him. After staring at Shen Miao for a while, Xie Jing Xing then released his hands and lightly said, "It is not good for you to know too much."
"I do not want to know anything." Shen Miao said, "I only hope that you do not implicate me." When the words came out, her heart was somewhat vexed. One did not know what was going on today. Perhaps it was because the matter happened suddenly or perhaps it was because of the injury that made her feel agitated, but when facing Xie Jing Xing, it actually stimulated some of the little temper that was buried deep in her bones. Those random venting of anger, willfulness and bickering were unknowingly drawn out by Xie Jing Xing.
"As long as you know propriety, no one can implicate you." Xie Jing Xing said. He tidied up the messy cloth strips on the boat and found a long pole to hang Shen Miao's wet clothes on to warm them.
