Quick Wear: The Heirless Boss Wants to Get Close to Her Every Day

Chapter 214: The Delicate Cousin Girl vs. the Upright and Brave Cousin (9)

Zhou Qian didn't say anything, just squatted on one knee in front of her and asked, "Which leg?"

Shen Shuyi raised her left leg and said, "I sprained it when they were dragging me."

"Let me check first to see if it's dislocated."

"My cousin is rude."

After saying that, Zhou Qian held her calf, and with a serious expression, he gently took off her shoes and socks and checked them with his fingers.

Shen Shuyi felt pain and groaned subconsciously, "Hiss~ It hurts."

Zhou Qian retracted his hand, raised his head and met her red eyes, "It's just a slight sprain, no bone damage, go back and apply cold compress and medicated oil."

Before he could finish his words, he saw his little cousin, who had been strong just now, raise her hand and gently wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Zhou Qian took out a handkerchief from his arms and handed it to her, "Wipe it."

Shen Shuyi took back her handkerchief, her face suddenly flushed, she pursed her lips, "Thank you, cousin."

Zhou Qian stood up and sent a signal into the air, asking someone to deal with the bodies of the bandits.

He turned his back and squatted in front of Shen Shuyi, "Come up, I'll carry you out of the forest."

Under the sunset.

Shen Shuyi leaned on his broad back, put her arms around his neck, her eyes felt sore and tears fell from her red eyes.

Zhou Qian felt a chill on his neck and realized that she was crying. He didn't know how to comfort her for a moment.

This was the first time the little girl faced a life-and-death situation, and it was not easy for her to endure until now.

Zhou Qian walked quickly through the forest carrying a light person on his back. His deep black eyes looked ahead and his voice was magnetic. "Cousin Shuyi, it's okay. Just go back and have a good sleep and forget about it."

"you are very brave."

Shen Shuyi sniffed, "I'm not brave. When my cousin was my age, he had already fought in the battlefield. He is awesome."

Zhou Qian smiled, making his stern face seem a little softer.

Shen Shuyi raised her head and saw Zhou Qian's cold and handsome profile. She added softly, "Thank you, cousin Yan Zhao."

"It's my duty." Zhou Qian looked at the path in the forest, walking with no distractions.

How could Shen Shuyi give up this opportunity to stir her heart? She deliberately said, "Well, cousin, the fiancé and the like are just nonsense that I and the bandits talked about to delay time. I hope you don't mind."

Zhou Qian paused, "In such a critical moment, it's not easy for you to think of a way to delay time, so why would I mind?"

"It's just that my cousin has grown up. In the future, please don't mention these nonsense in front of outsiders, so as not to tarnish your innocence."

Shen Shuyi hummed softly, and at this time several men in armor rode into the mountain.

The leader Chen Feng reported the situation of the bandit suppression. All the bandits have been arrested and brought to justice and people have been sent to escort them down the mountain.

Zhou Qian's horse was also led forward. Shen Shuyi subconsciously loosened her hand that was around Zhou Qian's arm, gently placed it on his clothes on the back, and buried her little face in his shoulder.

"Cousin, please come down first." Zhou Qian put her down and glanced at the sky. "It's going to rain soon. I'll ride a horse to take you down the mountain to meet up with your aunt."

Shen Shuyi stood in front of the horse and Zhou Qian a little awkwardly, raising her snow-white and delicate face, "Cousin, I don't know how to ride a horse."

"I know." Zhou Qian knew that his cousin had been weak since childhood. Not to mention riding a horse, she couldn't even run fast.

He looked at Chen Feng and said, "I will take my cousin down the mountain. You go and clean up the remaining bandits. Keep the fact that my cousin was kidnapped by bandits to yourself and don't mention it to anyone."

"Yes, I obey your command!" Chen Feng hurriedly took his men away.

Shen Shuyi was worrying about how to get on the horse, but Zhou Qian grabbed her waist without saying a word and carried her onto the horse.

She was so scared that she quickly grabbed the reins, and then the man jumped on the horse and held her in front of him, with his arms around her so that she would not fall off no matter how the horse bumped. Zhou Qian's movements were particularly neat. Without any nonsense, he pulled the reins and shouted, "Go!" and led the people down the mountain.

Shen Shuyi subconsciously grabbed the arm across her waist. The man's arms were strong and powerful, giving her a sense of security. Coupled with the bumpy ride, she felt tired and drowsy.

Zhou Qian lowered his eyes to look at her, and saw that she was leaning her head on his arm with her face as pale as snow. He frowned slightly.

Don't fall sick when you go back.

When they arrived in front of the temple, Zhou Qian dismounted first. Shen Shuyi looked at his outstretched hands, and she raised her hands to climb onto Zhou Qian's shoulders. The moment she grabbed him, she was carried down.

The two of them stood a distance away from each other at the same time, and then walked towards the carriage one after the other.

The sky was dark, but Shen Shan and Zhou Shu were extremely anxious. They saw their daughter at a glance and walked over quickly.

"Yi'er!"

"Dad and Mom." Shen Shuyi threw herself into Zhou Shu's arms.

"Thank you, Yan Zhao. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't know what to do." Shen Shan looked at Zhou Qian gratefully.

"We are all family, so you're welcome." Zhou Qian said, "My cousin has sprained her leg. Let's go back home and see a doctor first."

After getting on the carriage, Shen Shuyi lifted the curtain to look at Zhou Qian, "Cousin, I'll thank you in person when I get better."

"Your health is the most important thing. Go back home quickly. I have something to report to first." Zhou Qian met Shen Shuyi's watery eyes. When he heard her soft voice, he just nodded at them and rode away.

In the carriage, Zhou Shu hugged her daughter, her eyes red, "I'm glad Yi'er is okay."

Fortunately, Zhou Qian rescued her daughter in time and prevented her from being bullied. If something really happened to her daughter, she wouldn't know what to do.

"Don't worry, mom. I'm back safe and sound." Shen Shuyi comforted her and then fell into a deep sleep. His health was really poor.

As expected, she fell ill as soon as she returned to the General's Mansion. She only told others that she caught a cold on the road and did not mention anything about the bandits.

Zhou Shu and Shen Shan were even more grateful for Zhou Qian's actions and for protecting their daughter's reputation. However, Shuyi was ill now and they had no time to thank Zhou Qian.

Zhou Qian went back to report and was busy in the military camp for a long time before returning to the general's mansion.

However, when Zhou Xuanmin learned that Shen Shuyi was ill, he came to visit him every now and then. However, he was rejected outside the palace after just a few words on the grounds that Shen Shuyi needed to rest.

Zhou Xuanmin stood outside Shen Shuyi's yard, looking at the closed door, feeling a little dazed for a moment.

He suddenly discovered that his cousin had become much colder and even ignored him when she came from Yuhang this time.

Right in the general's mansion, he was embarrassed in front of the servants.

Zhou Xuanmin felt inexplicably annoyed and left in anger.

In the room, Chunxi spoke with some trepidation, "Miss, are you sure the second young master is okay?"

Shen Shuyi changed into clothes suitable for martial arts practice and sat in front of the dressing table, letting Chunxi tie her hair with a silk ribbon.

"I'm busy practicing martial arts. It will be the same next time we meet." There were so many people around, so she wouldn't say anything nonsense to the maid.

Shen Shuyi waved away the maid and went to the martial arts training ground alone. Unexpectedly, she met Zhou Xuanmin who had not walked far on the road. She nodded as a greeting and walked straight forward.

"Why did my cousin run away when she saw me?" Zhou Xuanmin stopped her.

"Are you feeling better?"

"It's fine now. Thank you for your concern, cousin." Shen Shuyi replied calmly, "Cousin, what's the matter?"

Zhou Xuanmin suppressed his anger at being ignored and tried hard to maintain the appearance of a gentleman. Even his tone was sincere and gentle, which was extremely deceptive.

"I heard that you went to Lingshan Temple to ask your grandmother for a consecrated Buddhist rosary. I will take part in the imperial examination next spring. Did my cousin pray for me?"
