Shi Shi stared at the adults around him from the bottom up, his chin retracted, and his shoulders slightly shrugged, showing complete panic from the bottom of his heart.Tian Shu asked again unwillingly, "You have been in touch with Si Qi all along,"

Shi Shi huddled, turned to look at Bai Qian, and asked for help.Tian Shu was worried that Bai Qian would soften his heart, and was about to remind him when he heard Bai Qian say to Shi Shi, "Tell me what you know, or I won't be able to help you."

Bai Qian took Jingxi's painkillers and struggled in the middle of the night to get over the phantom limb pain.After that, it was more like fainting, and I closed my eyes and fell asleep for a while.What happened in between, although I didn't see it with my own eyes, but I can guess it by looking at the current situation.

With his hands tied behind his back, Shi Shi wailed at Bai Qian, "Woo--".Bai Qian shook his head, determined not to back down: "Don't pretend to be pitiful, Jingxi didn't hurt you at all."

Shi Shi pouted and lowered his head, as if he had been greatly wronged.

Tian Shu said as if inducing: "Look, Bai Qian treats you very well, right? He is a good person, right? But what Si Qi asked you to feed Bai Qian would make Bai Qian cry in pain, how abominable? Little Children can’t help bad people, otherwise they wouldn’t be good children.”

Shi Shi still didn't say a word, and made up his mind not to speak.

Zuo Qizhi looked out the window and suggested: "It's getting late, why don't we interrogate the emperor after he visits the emperor."

Tianshu sighed and nodded.Jingxi said in a muffled voice, "Then I will trouble Mr. Zuo to take care of it for you."

Zuo Qizhi replied: "Young Master Jing trusts the old man so much, he will definitely live up to his trust."

Originally, Zuo Qizhi only came to visit with the purpose of deepening his friendship with Bai Qian, but unexpectedly he saved Bai Qian's life by mistake.In this way, he sold his favor to Bai Qian again, Zuo Qizhi was calculating in his heart, and his face remained calm.I just don't understand why even Jingxi's attitude towards him has changed a little bit less indifferent than before.

Before Zuo Qizhi went out, he looked back: Bai Qian was half leaning against the bed rail wearily, Jing Xi bowed, with his fingers resting on his wrist.With a very natural gesture of questioning, Zuo Qizhi saw something.

Tian Shu was blocked by him, and asked politely: "What else can Mr. Zuo do?"

Zuo Qizhi smiled and said, "What congratulatory gift did Mr. Jing prepare?"

Tian Shu was about to get the box, Zhou Quan said: "It's just a small thing as usual."

Zuo Qizhi glanced in again, Jingxi was supporting Bai Qian's arm, helping him to sit up.Bai Qian didn't notice the look in Jingxi's eyes, but he saw it all.Zuo Qizhi smiled knowingly, and had a guess in his heart.

Jingxi helped Bai Qian up, and asked, "Mu Yueguan wants you to accompany her to face the saint?"

Bai Qian was exhausted all over, he didn't even want to move his fingers, and didn't want to say anything, he just said "um".

Jingxi hesitated and said, "Can you do it? The pulse hasn't stabilized yet."

Bai Qian was tired, so he let him sit on the bed with his support, and said in a hoarse voice, "It's probably a drug like a stimulant—something that makes people excited and nervous."

"Then... still...does it hurt?" Jingxi's hand moved following the words, also slow and stiff, and finally landed on the thin quilt.

And separated by a thin layer, Jingxi's subordinates were Bai Qian's severed limbs.Jingxi's eyes were a little empty, as if she saw somewhere in her memory through this barrier.

Bai Qian took a breath for an instant, all the muscles in his body tensed, and begged tremblingly, "Don't touch it! Please...don't touch it!"

Jing Xi hurriedly withdrew her hand, with an apologetic face, and looked at Bai Qian stiffly with a look of bewilderment.It seemed that he was the one who was offended and tortured by others. It took him a long time to recover, and said embarrassingly, "I'm sorry... I didn't know that I couldn't touch it."

Bai Qian breathed a sigh of relief, and explained: "I didn't know until you touched it, I thought it didn't hurt anymore."

Jingxi seemed to be immersed in deep self-blame, not knowing what to say.Seeing him like this, Bai Qian felt a little embarrassed, and comforted him, "It's not the place you touched that hurts, it's... how should I tell you... I thought my legs and feet were still there—but in fact they were gone long ago. , It made me hurt like this. It’s so bad... Phantom limb pain, called phantom limb pain, is related to the function of the cerebral cortex or something, I don’t understand.”

Jingxi let out a "huh", as if to express "I wrote it down", but she didn't move.Bai Qian closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths, the discomfort was not eliminated at all, he couldn't tell which part was hurting, it felt like his flesh and blood were being torn piece by piece.Bai Qian asked: "You can't sit in a wheelchair in front of the emperor, right?"

Jingxi let out a "huh".Mu Qingjian moved in little by little with his crutches every time.

Bai Qian sighed softly, and said helplessly, "Can you call Tianshu for me—don't let Yueguan know."

Jingxi instantly became vigilant and asked, "What's the matter?"

Bai Qian opened his eyes and looked at a certain dent in the quilt: "I can't move at all now, and I can't wear my prosthesis."

"I--"

"You hate seeing the stump, I know." Bai Qian looked at Jingxi and smiled, "It's nothing, many people feel uncomfortable with the disability, it's because they look down on me physically, not because they look down on me psychologically. I can understand. Let me put it this way, I rarely meet people who don't feel it. Yue Guan is the same, and I don't want her to see mine—what are you doing?"

Bai Qian was still explaining, when his body lightened, the thin quilt had already been lifted.Jingxi asked in a deep voice, "How do I get it up?"

Bai Qian was anxious: "Hey! What are you doing! You don't have to feel sorry for me, I'm acting like this on purpose!"

Jing Xi said, "I haven't."

Bai Qian couldn't move, and roared with red eyes: "Jingxi! Don't! Don't look! It's too ugly..."

Jingxi stopped her movements and stared at Bai Qian, with some faint emotions flickering in her eyes: "I will get used to it slowly."

Bai Qian stared at him blankly: "What do you mean?——What is on your wrist?"

Jingxi pulled down her sleeve, just covering the wound.Bai Qian raised his voice: "What's the injury on the wrist? Tell the truth, I'll let you wear the prosthesis for me."

Jingxi said lightly: "You bit it last night—you are unconscious, you will bite off your own tongue."

Forcing Jingxi to roll up his sleeves, Bai Qian saw it.From the wrist to the upper part of the forearm, there are jagged teeth marks.Most were bleeding, but they were not bandaged, and the blood had clotted to a dark, dark red.

Bai Qian murmured, "Why?"

Jingxi rolled up Baiqian's trousers, and the stump of his right leg went straight into his eyes, which was a bit glaring.It takes time to get used to it, but one day you will get used to it because the urge to do it is there.

"Otherwise you'll bite off your own tongue—what do you want? Put it on directly? I'm going to do it."

"I mean why - ah - let it go! Don't wear it! Don't wear it!"

Jingxi panicked and dropped Bai Qian's prosthetic limb, wanted to press his twitching leg, but was afraid that it would make him hurt even more, so she just stood there helpless.Bai Qian said: "Press your knees, or your thighs. I can't take it anymore, it's such a cramp. Hurry up!"

Jingxi did as he said, and it took a long time for Bai Qian to calm down.It's just that the emotions can no longer be calmed down.Jingxi looked sideways, and saw Bai Qian closed his eyes, biting his lower lip tightly, tears streaming down his face.

"I can't stand it... Really... I didn't do anything wrong, I don't know what I did... I don't want to take it!"

Jing Xi's hand was still on Bai Qian's front leg, she leaned over slowly, and a kiss fell on Bai Qian's knee.The people under him trembled violently, followed by stiffness and tension.

"Bai Qian—"

Open and close the lips, calling out a name, like reciting the title of a poem on the lips.Then another kiss fell, still in the same position, using actions to write the most beautiful sentence.

"Bai Qian—"

Mouth whispering your name, do you know my thoughts?

Jingxi moved slowly, cautiously, and finally kissed.A serious and affectionate long kiss on Bai Qian's severed limb.Bai Qian seemed to see the most devout believers.

"Bai Qian—"

People who I want to work hard to get close to, please don't lose your way.

The author has something to say: It seems that the number of words is a bit small recently...

And the rhythm is completely out of control == the chapter to be written keeps being pushed back and forth...
