Don't be afraid, fairy, I'm blind

Chapter 383 Master's Wife Pats Her Head

Such an intimate action made the fairy Lengying freeze as if she was under a spell.

Upon seeing this, Wu Cheng quickly took the opportunity to carry his master on his back and escape, but the other disciples had already disappeared.

Before leaving, Wu Cheng looked back through the fog and looked at You Su deeply.

It was the first time he saw You Su showing such a childish attitude, which was completely different from the You Su he had in mind.

Could it be that... when he was in a daze just now, he was not completely unconscious, but noticed that I was shouting to remind him? So, he used this method to delay his mysterious master's wife to repay my kindness?

Thinking of this, Wu Cheng whispered a word of thanks and quickly fled from the Yuanyang Sword Sect, which looked shabby but was actually full of wonders.

He Shutong was embraced by You Su, which was beyond her expectation. This feeling of being close to someone was unprecedented. Even when she was a child before she practiced Bing Xin Gong, her mother only touched her head when she pampered her, and she was never as enthusiastic as You Su was at this moment.

She still had an instinctive resistance to such intimacy and subconsciously wanted to push the boy away, but for some reason she couldn't bear to do it.

It was as if... the boy was waiting for her...

Isn't this feeling of being needed what she is looking for? How could she push him away?

He had fought alone for so long, and even if he had a chance to escape, he would stubbornly take her, the indifferent master's wife, away with him.

Isn't the purpose of coming here to change my past self and let the boy know that his persistence has not been in vain?
Never mind... Anyway, this is just a mental block...

"Master's Wife... I thought you really left me..."

You Su's voice was a little choked, and he finally raised his head from the gentle embrace, but his hands were still tightly around the fairy's waist, as if he was afraid that she would run away.

Looking at the young man's face so close to him, He Shutong felt guilty for his pitiful appearance.

"Silly child...I'm always here."

He Shutong slowly raised her slender hand, but instead of pulling You Suhuan's hand around her waist, she patted You Su's head awkwardly, as if to comfort the boy.

But as soon as she said this, He Shutong regretted it. How could she call You Su like that at that time? She was so emotionless at that time that she didn't even call You Su's name a few times.

At this moment, the pair of strong arms suddenly loosened. He Shutong looked at You Su in surprise as he suddenly took a step back, and felt that the kindness on his face had frozen.

"Are you...really my master's wife?" the young man hesitated.

As soon as the words fell, He Shutong was suddenly shocked. She did not expect that You Su, who was mentally blocked, would be so perceptive. Just a name made him immediately question her.

Just when He Shutong was getting extremely anxious and didn't know how to explain to You Su, he saw You Su close his eyes and collapse.

He Shutong took a light step and immediately took You Su into her arms. She hurriedly probed into the mysterious Qi to check and found that the young man was too weak and had experienced great sorrow and joy in succession, and had fainted due to the disordered blood flow.

She breathed a sigh of relief. Even though she knew that this was You Su in her dream, she couldn't bear to see him suffer.

He Shutong looked at the weak boy in her arms with mixed feelings. She doubted whether she could hide the truth from such a perceptive boy.

If the person with the mental disorder were to notice the confusion, I'm afraid this memory would be forgotten...

The reason she entered this mental barrier was because her life essence had reached the final critical step of refining - the fusion of her soul and the lotus heart. As long as she succeeded, she would become the Lotus Sword Master who swung her sword to cut off mountains and rivers.

But the Lotus Heart can repair everything, not only the body, but also the soul. The Lotus Heart discovered the memory she had hidden deep in her mind, and it wanted to dispel the mental barrier left by the evil spirit in her body, so that she could return to the realm of emptiness and achieve clarity.

But...how could she bear to let this memory disappear?
Therefore, in order to preserve this memory and not let it be regarded as "heresy" by Lotus Heart, she chose to use the healing power of Lotus Heart to enter the heart barrier.

As long as the memory became her own, rather than left in her by the evil spirit, it could be preserved.

So she wanted to change this memory, extend this memory, experience this memory personally, and make it her own real memory.

She gently laid You Suping on her bed, a trace of heartache and helplessness flashing in her gentle eyes.

"Forgive me, Master's wife... Although you are only Su'er in my dream, I didn't mean to lie to you. At that time, I was trapped in the belly of Hei Haiyue and failed to respond to you in time. This guilt has become a mental barrier. I wanted to spend my life with this guilt, but now your life or death is uncertain outside, so I must recover as soon as possible to have a chance to find you. In this way, the mental barrier must be solved, so I resorted to this last resort and chose to make up for my past losses in my dream..."

He Shutong spoke softly, pouring out her heart to the unconscious You Su. Even though she lied to You Su in his dream, she still felt a little guilty.

"Although doing this can only be regarded as mending the fold after the sheep have been bolted... but, after all, this is only my own memory, even if it is a little consolation for me... But my heart has melted because of you now, how can I still be a bystander like before..."

She sighed slowly, stretched out her slender hand, and gently stroked You Su's cheek. The warmth from her fingertips seemed to dispel all fatigue and pain.

You Su still had his eyes closed, but suddenly he seemed to realize something and grabbed He Shutong's tender white hand.

"Master's wife..."

He Shutong remembered that the first thing You Su did after he woke up from killing Lord Liu was to grab his hand in the same way.

It was the first time in two hundred years that she was touched directly by a man. She felt strange in her heart, but she still let You Su hold her.

Thinking back now, she had done that to You Su under no circumstances possible, so what did holding hands matter?

She lowered her cloud-like eyelashes, lamenting how important she was to the boy, and for a moment she didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

"Master's wife...Master's wife!"

You Su's cries suddenly became rapid and frightened, as if he had a nightmare called "Can't find Master's Wife".

You Su suddenly sat up, looked around in confusion, a look of fear on his face, and gasped for breath.

He Shutong felt a sharp pain in her heart. She squeezed the boy's hand and said softly:
"I'm here."

You Su's hands immediately squeezed tighter, as if he wanted to squeeze the pair of jade shoots into his flesh.

"Master's wife...are you really..."

You Su's voice was a little hoarse, and he felt as if he was about to cry for joy after surviving a great disaster, as if he still couldn't believe that his master's wife was really by his side.

He Shutong couldn't bear it and wanted to hold the boy in her arms to comfort him. But she still had her sanity and knew that if she took the initiative to hold him, the boy would become suspicious again.

But who would have thought that just when she was struggling with confusion, You Su suddenly pounced on her like a young swallow flying into the forest and took the initiative to hug her.

You Su hugged her very hard, and the weight of his entire body pressed down. Of course, this couldn't bend He Shutong's waist, but it made this soft-hearted fairy feel You Su's presence firmly, and the two piles of snow were also deformed by the pressure. He Shutong bit his lower lip lightly, thinking in his heart: I only know that Su'er thinks highly of me, and likes to honor me on weekdays, but he is also introverted and polite in his behavior, but I didn't know that he has such a passionate and earnest side...

I guess it must be because he had too much pent-up emotion after escaping death, so he let it all out like a rebound...

He doesn't look like the mature boy he usually is. Instead, he looks more childish than other kids of his age.

You know, her only complaint about You Su was that he was too independent, not relying on her for anything, not wanting to trouble her for anything, yet doing everything for her. This made her feel guilty and unable to vent, and she only suspected that she was too useless.

But now the contrast between You Su in his dream made He Shutong feel quite relieved, as if he had understood the real boy, so he wanted to take good care of You Su's childish and coquettish appearance.

She is essentially the same as You Su, who wants to protect the people she cherishes behind her. In reality, she has missed opportunities many times, but in her mental disorder, she can become the only support for the boy. So He Shutong secretly decided that in this memory that belongs only to her, she must protect the soft side of You Su.

And You Su's initiative also saved them from the worries that would be caused by her own initiative.

He Shutong did not push the boy away, but reached out his hand to You Su's back and patted him gently:

"Don't be afraid, Master's wife is here, everything is fine."

"Um……"

You Su rested his chin on the fairy's shoulder and tapped it gently.

He took a deep breath, greedily breathing in the charming fragrance.

Ever since he first smelled the fragrance of his master's wife at the age of eight, he had been wondering what kind of woman would have such a unique fragrance. He thought he would smell this fragrance often, but he didn't expect that the chances were rare, and the woman was not a master's wife in the secular sense. Figuring out what kind of person this mysterious woman was seemed to have become one of his obsessions since he was a child.

At this time, relying on his identity as the Lord of the Sea of ​​Consciousness, even though his pupils were as clear as if he were blind, he could still see things and savor the fragrance at such a close distance. For a moment, he felt so wonderful that he felt like he was in a dream.

But then I thought, wasn't I just in a dream? It was just my master's dream...

You Su knew clearly from the moment he entered the light curtain and possessed himself that this memory was as fragile as thin paper. If there was any deviation, it could collapse at any time.

You Su originally wanted to meet his master's wife, but because of this reason he had to go along with the performance. He wanted to get closer to his master's wife, but also wanted to find out why she wanted to change this memory.

Although he was greedy for this tenderness, he did not dare to really hold his master's wife tightly.

Suddenly, You Su fell backwards again and quickly broke away from this warm and fragrant jade, as if avoiding a god.

The excessive movement caused him to cough uncontrollably, but You Su still insisted on lowering his head and apologizing like a child who had done something wrong:
"Master's wife, please don't blame me! You Su was so excited that he lost his composure and offended Master's wife. I'm sorry! Master's wife, please punish me!"

He Shutong looked at You Su like this, feeling both bitter and pity.

She suppressed the turmoil in her heart and pretended to be calm, her voice soft and full of love:
"It's okay. You're only eighteen years old and still immature. You just escaped death. It's understandable that you would be like this. It's not offensive."

"Thank you, Master's Wife!"

You Su hurriedly kowtowed and thanked him, but still kept a distance, as if he didn't dare to get any closer.

He Shutong's heart tightened. For some reason, he felt guilty when he saw the boy's cautious movements.

When You Su first met her as a child, he affectionately called her "Master's Wife", but she ignored him. Later, the blind boy also tried to build a good relationship with her, but she ignored him. Gradually, the blind boy grew up, but he no longer shared everything new with her like he did when he was a child, trying to attract her attention.

He was obviously a lively and cheerful child... It was the rejections I gave him time and time again that made him become cold, rational, and cautious, which made him lock the gentle, innocent, and caring self in his body...

After taking You Su to the sacred mountain, I always taught him not to be cautious when doing things. He is obviously no worse than anyone else, so he should be as high-spirited as those geniuses who are dressed in fine clothes and riding horses...

Only then did He Shutong realize that it was she herself who made You Su develop his current personality.
She could no longer suppress the guilt in her heart and could not help but put out her hand and touch the top of You Su's head. Her palm trembled slightly, she wanted to touch him but didn't dare to touch him firmly.

"No need to thank me, you did a great job and you deserve it."

You Su under his palm also trembled, as if he was also surprised by He Shutong's initiative.

After a long silence, You Su finally asked tremblingly:

"Being touched on the head by Master's Wife... is this what I deserve..."

He Shutong was stunned for a moment when she heard that, and she withdrew her hand that was pressing on You Su's head as if she had been electrocuted. She sat up straighter and put on some of the demeanor of the cold-faced master's wife as before.

"I mean... you deserve my reward."

"Is the reward a pat on the head?"

You Su lowered his head and didn't dare to look at her, but still asked persistently.

He Shutong felt like he had something stuck in his throat, and didn't know how to answer for a moment. He was just repeating what he had said several times in reality when he tried to persuade You Su to be more open, hoping that the young You Su in his dream would change sooner, but he never thought that the boy would misinterpret his meaning.

She wanted to explain the reason clearly, but seeing the boy bowing his head respectfully, she knew that if she denied it here, the boy would probably stay away from her again and hide his true self that longed for care even deeper.

"You want me to touch your head?"

You Su nodded.

He Shutong pursed his thin lips, and an imperceptible arc appeared, which was beautiful beyond words.

"Well, I was too strict with you before. But from today on, you don't have to work so hard anymore."

"Why?" You Su asked anxiously.

He Shutong knew that the boy must have misunderstood her meaning. He was too concerned and confused. The boy probably thought that his words just now were too offensive and made her want to give up on him.

"Before my cultivation had not recovered, you had to rely on yourself for everything, so I was cold to you to urge you to concentrate on your cultivation. But today I have recovered from my serious injury and my strength has been fully restored. From now on -

Everything is mine.”

When he said the last four words, He Shutong was extremely confident.

Seeing the admiration and attachment in the boy's eyes, she felt a sweet feeling in her heart.
