Chapter 23: You Close your eyes! Don’t look!

Chen Yu gently and carefully carried Shen Rongrong out.

Looking at her, he didn’t know if she had been running too fast, but she wasn’t wearing shoes. Her feet were soaked in the little water at the bottom of the tank, icy cold. He reached out and held them to warm them up.

Her feet were wet, fair and clean, and small. They were wrapped in his big hands, and her fleshy soles seemed even more adorable in his hands. Her toes moved restlessly, as if a little nervous.

He couldn’t help but gently caress the soles of her feet with his fingertips, stimulating her to straighten her insteps, and her five toes came together, even more at a loss.

Shen Rongrong looked down at him holding her feet and playing with them in a strangely itchy way. She didn’t mind, only feeling that his big hands were warm… somewhat strange.

The spirit world only had spirits, not ghosts, but in theory, they were about the same. Spirits shouldn’t be able to touch living things.

How could there still be temperature?

Could it be that I’m dead too?

Thinking this, she pursed her lips and looked at Chen Yu, and then at herself.

That can’t be, I hid myself… I wouldn’t have accidentally drowned, would I!

She stretched her head back to look into the water tank, confirming the truth.

Chen Yu couldn’t help but tease her, seeing her look, “Not enough sleep?”

Shen Rongrong blushed, struggling to get down. As a result, she accidentally kicked him in the leg with one foot.

Seeing him grunt, a trace of red appeared on his pants.

“You… are you bleeding?”

“Yeah,” Chen Yu looked down, not angry, only calmly stating the reason, “I was kicked by you.”

Now Shen Rongrong’s originally somewhat red face turned directly into a tomato. She muttered, making excuses, “A girl’s feet can’t be casually… touched. Let go…”

She shrank her feet, her toes hooking together, becoming even smaller and softer.

Chen Yu saw that Wu Zheng hadn’t returned yet, knowing that Wu Zheng also had her in his heart, and was so anxious to find her that he was going everywhere.

At this moment, he was the first to find her, and he was the one holding her. All the brotherly affection had drifted away.

Only the little hairy girl with somewhat messy hair remained in front of him. He leaned closer to her and said, “What will happen if I touch them?”

Touched…

Nothing would happen, she would just be called a “shameless rogue!”

“Haha.”

He thought that if he touched her, he would have to marry her.

Mr. Chen raised his eyebrows with some disappointment, chuckled softly, and carried her back into the house.

This was the first time Shen Rongrong had heard him laugh.

What flashed through her mind in an instant was:

Unexpectedly, the benefit of having a snail spirit is that you can see people who have already died. According to folk rules, the spirits of the dead must return home on the seventh day to see their closest relatives. He came to see her… It really moves my snail heart.

But in the moment after thinking this, she suddenly remembered that she had just kicked him and made him bleed!

Looking at him now, he was having a little trouble walking, and the small patch of red spreading on the side of his leg represented… that he had blood and flesh!

He was alive!

“You’re not dead?!”

Shen Rongrong stared, her hand subconsciously reaching out to touch his earlobe… and rubbed it!

The ears were the thinnest and easiest place to touch on a person’s body. She pinched it, and it turned slightly white. After letting go, it quickly returned to its fleshy color. This proved that there was blood flowing in his body.

“I died for a little while.” Although she didn’t know if that counted as death, the look of joyful tears in her eyes really made the man unable to bear it. He teased helplessly, “I have a hard life, I came back to life.”

“Ah? That’s great! That’s great!” Shen Rongrong didn’t know how sad she was when she knew he was dead, and she couldn’t describe how happy she was now. She hugged him happily, “You must live well! You must live a long life!”

“Okay.”

Chen Yu looked at her, her eyes filled with tears because of happiness, and his heart was filled with mixed feelings.

He had a fiancée, but he had never had a feeling of heartbeat, only feeling that it was an exchange of interests. He earned money and she spent money, supporting each other in marriage to build a good home together.

Only now, holding her, did he suddenly understand what heartbeat was.

It was attachment, it was being reluctant to let go, it was her every frown and smile being able to affect his heart, it was the only concern in his mind at the moment of life and death, and it was also the soft and real existence in his arms at this moment.

Chen Yu carried her into the house.

Although he had been shot in the leg, it wasn’t very difficult to carry a little girl, but he also felt that it wasn’t good to keep hugging her like this, thinking that he would put her down as soon as he entered the house… But unexpectedly, Mr. Chen took too long to walk each step.

Shen Rongrong was only concerned with being happy at first. Later, seeing him walking towards the main house step by step, she lowered her head and glanced at his leg, a question mark overflowing in her mind.

“Why? So slow…?”

Although he was limping a little, it shouldn’t be this slow, right?

Even the snail was anxious.

“That’s how I’ve been since I woke up.” In his embarrassment, Mr. Chen mocked himself helplessly, “Perhaps my life is too hard, it’s straight.”

“Hard and straight?” Looking at him, he didn’t look stiff. On the contrary…

Ah!

Shen Rongrong suddenly reacted. When she was in the cave before, she had given him her spirit, and he had probably been infected with the snail’s habits and become like this.

How cute.

Even cuter than when he was fast.

Shen Rongrong slowly reached out and waved her hand tentatively in front of him.

He freed a hand and lowered his eyes to grab her wrist, “Hmm?”

She thought she wouldn’t be able to grab it… So it seems that he wasn’t very slow.

Although she still wanted to see how fun he was in this state, she knew that being slow was sometimes not very pleasing, and it would even delay many things.

Especially since he was still a soldier. Dad said that soldiers were speed, strength, and something else… which had nothing to do with snails.

“Well, I can cure you.” Shen Rongrong jumped off him. After landing on the ground, she looked around, pulling him to a corner next to the cow shed by the vegetable garden, “But I want…”

Chen Yu lowered his eyes to look at her, a smile permeating his brows, “What do you want?”

Shen Rongrong puffed out her face, thinking in her heart about the oath she had made with Grandma, saying that she would never have any involvement with other men in this life, but now she had accidentally broken her promise.

However, it was an accident. The spirit was in him, which was a problem left over from before the oath. She had to get it back, and God would understand.

She promised not to be moved.

“Hmm…” Shen Rongrong pursed her lips, tiptoed with an ambiguous breath, and leaned to his cheek, “Five hundred yuan.” This was an exchange of interests, not emotional at all! Absolutely!

Chen Yu: “…”

It was clearly speechless, but somehow, he wanted to laugh even more.

“So much?”

“Umm” Shen Rongrong nodded aggrievedly, “I’m in debt… The mountains are dangerous I, I can’t go. I can’t find antiques, and I can’t make ends meet. And I…”

She might be struck by lightning.

Thinking this, Shen Rongrong took a deep breath, “I can owe it first! You close your eyes! Don’t look!”

Chen Yu slowly closed his eyes with a smile on his lips.

Shen Rongrong looked at the man in front of her, who looked so cute every time he closed his cold eyes. She once again raised her hand to climb onto his shoulders, pushed him against the wall, and stretched her feet hard, bringing her lips closer…

……

Not far away, Wu Zheng had searched the entire village and hadn’t seen Shen Rongrong. He hurried back, wanting to discuss going to the police with Chen Yu.

As a result, as soon as he pushed open the courtyard door, he saw two people standing in the shady area of the vegetable garden, entwined and kissing…
