The Killer's Cleansing Manual

Chapter 140 Peeling Oranges 2

Lin Shanjuan was stunned: "Ah? Is this all you want to ask me?"

Qi Zhaomian lowered his eyes: "...There are other things as well."

Lin Shanjuan sensed her lack of confidence and took the initiative to rub his face against her hand: "You say."

Qi Zhaomian's heart was also tickled by the soft touch of her cheek. She knew that Lin Shanjuan was very patient and tolerant of her. With this understanding, she suddenly felt less worried.

"Why do you adore me?"

The moment this question came out of his mouth, Qi Zhaomian relaxed for a moment, then took a deep breath and stared into Lin Shanjuan's eyes, worried that he couldn't see that she was vague, but also worried that he really saw her being vague.

Lin Shanjuan looked thoughtful. She felt that this question was very crucial and she needed to think carefully before answering it.

After a long pause, she spoke, "I like your gentleness. I also like your sense of responsibility, your inner fortitude, and your foresight. You are able to be vigilant in times of peace, to coordinate the overall situation, and to see through other people's schemes and deal with your opponents in a thorough and clean manner. I also love your weakness, which you never show to others, and your wandering and helpless emotions."

"Don't think I love you just because you're beautiful. As I said, I don't like women, so your beauty is just the last reason for me to fall in love with you. It's not the most important, nor the first."

She was not sure how many points her answer would get from Qi Zhaomian, but why was Qi Zhaomian crying?

Lin Shanjuan was extremely flustered. She raised her hand to wipe Qi Zhaomian's tears, but then she saw a relaxed and gentle smile on the corner of her lips.

"……what?"

Qi Zhaomian, with tears in his eyes, suddenly approached, lifted her chin, and kissed Lin Shan on her frowning brow.

"You said something I liked to hear, reward."

Lin Shanjuan blushed, which was rare, as she also had her face blush sometimes.

She pinched her brows uncomfortably, the corners of her lips stretched to the horizon. "Really? That proves that Her Royal Highness the Princess taught well. Maybe..."

The more kisses, the sweeter it is.

No, this is too embarrassing, I really can't say it.

Qi Zhaomian saw through her thoughts and couldn't help but chuckle with his hands covering his lips. The hand that was lifting her chin unconsciously fiddled with Lin Shanjuan's earlobe.

"What are you thinking?"

Lin Shanjuan was embarrassed to speak out, and this question made him even more embarrassed. He just kept shaking his head.

Qi Zhaomian couldn't stop smiling. She leaned over and looked at Lin Shanjuan: "Could it be... you said you put my beauty last, but in fact, you covet it very much?"

"Teng"

It's the sound of someone blushing after their thoughts are guessed.

It was exaggerated, but for Lin Shanjuan, what she heard was even more exaggerated, as if a "shyness bomb" had exploded in her mind.

Because not only was Qi Zhaomian's voice seductive enough, but she also looked very gentle when viewed from such a close distance, especially when she leaned over, Lin Shanjuan saw the white ravine extending into the black.

She suddenly felt that diving in might be...

She swallowed her saliva with a big movement, and Qi Zhaomian subconsciously followed her gaze, and then...

She straightened up quickly, and the temperature of her earlobes was only higher than Lin Shanjuan's.

"you……"

Lin Shanjuan was silent, and suddenly raised his head, his face was red as hell, but he was also very brave.

"Want to take a shower?"

How could Qi Zhaomian not understand the meaning of her asking this question at this critical juncture and in this atmosphere?

Her white teeth left a fleeting tooth mark on her red lips. Her hands unconsciously grabbed the fabric, and her thoughts continued from the four words "Do you want to take a shower?" to that early morning when she was fed by a sense of security.

Now, it’s time to take a shower.

"Ah."

She made sure her voice was very soft, so soft that she almost didn't hear it.

But Lin Shanjuan heard it, and not only that, he jumped up and jumped out like a rabbit!

Not long after, she came in carrying a few buckets of hot water. The two of them took a bath one after another shyly but tacitly. Qi Zhaomian lay on the bed, clutching the quilt nervously, watching Lin Shanjuan going in and out quickly to get the water.

She is really, really positive.

The more I thought about it, the redder I became, but I couldn't stop myself from blushing.

So hot.

The door was finally closed and the candle was blown out, and Qi Zhaomian's tension rose again.

She didn't understand why she was nervous, it felt…it felt like she had experienced this once before, so there was no need to be nervous again.

But I just can’t control it…

"Mianmian, am I coming up?"

Qi Zhaomian was startled and subconsciously let out a breath, soft and lingering, as if issuing a trembling invitation.

Lin Shanjuan took a deep breath, muttered softly, and climbed onto the bed.

"It hasn't started yet, why are you yelling so nicely?"

Qi Zhaomian felt even more embarrassed and a little annoyed: "Lin Shanjuan!"

Lin Shanjuan smiled apologetically, and the next second he hugged Qi Zhaomian into his arms.

She did not move her hands or kiss Qi Zhaomian, she just hugged her with just the right amount of firmness and whispered in her ear.

Qi Zhaomian's nervousness had improved and was gradually decreasing when she heard Lin Shanjuan ask.

"Do you feel uneasy being with me?"

She could always easily see into his thoughts. Qi Zhaomian hesitated for a few seconds, and finally nodded.

Lin Shanjuan kissed her face: "I know, if I were you, I would also feel uneasy. And, the more I love you, the more uneasy I would feel."

She found Qi Zhaomian's hand under the quilt, held it, stood on Qi Zhaomian's side, and said what she wanted to say.

"Everyone around me is plotting to destroy the country. Is there really anyone who truly loves me? It's not like I haven't been moved, but can she really stay by my side forever? Life is so long, will she change her mind and fall in love with someone else and abandon me halfway?"

Qi Zhaomian was struck by every word and huddled in Lin Shanjuan's arms. Although he didn't say anything, he hugged him tighter and tighter.

Lin Shanjuan chuckled: "Only a fool would think of such things."

She kissed Qi Zhaomian's forehead: "I can promise you these things, and I will always abide by them. But, only time can tell how long my words will last, right? You test me slowly, we still have a very, very long time together, a very, very long time."

Her comfort worked. Qi Zhaomian nodded in her arms. All his tension disappeared, and he was full of anticipation for what would happen next.

But Lin Shanjuan felt that he had just coaxed her, and it seemed to him... that he coaxed her just to sleep with her. If Qi Zhaomian misunderstood, wouldn't he be unable to explain himself even with hundreds of mouths?

So it’s better to endure it.

Qi Zhaomian was full of anticipation: If her arms are around me, then I should hug her too...

Lin Shanjuan: "Okay, let's go to bed now. Good night."

Qi Zhaomian: ...

So why are you running around and even asking Xiaoer to boil water?

She pulled Lin Shanjuan's clothes: "...Are you going to sleep?"

Lin Shanjuan nodded: "You can't sleep? Then I'll sing to comfort you."

Qi Zhaomian was anxious, but too embarrassed to speak directly, so he held it in for a long time: "Then you, take a shower, what are you doing?"
