Shen smiled and felt like he had had a long dream.

He opened his eyes as soon as he woke and looked at the dark blue canopy. After a long time, he closed his eyes again. When he opened his eyes again, the anger, confusion, and shock had all disappeared, and his pair of phoenix eyes were clear and calm.

He moved and found something tugging at his sleeve. He turned his face while enduring the dull pain from the back of his head and saw a girl with a round, jade-like face. She had her eyes closed, her delicate lips pouting slightly. She was pink and tender, making people's heart go weak just by looking at her.

It's Xiu Ying. Why is she sleeping on the side? She's even holding onto his sleeve.

Shen Jun had a smile on his face as he looked at her sleeping face. It was quite funny. His heart was abnormally calm, but the little girl was still so obedient and pleasing. He smiled. It was unknown what he was thinking, but the curve of his lips soon disappeared, and his expression became one of unconcealable iciness. Silently, he took her small hand.

There was a little girl guarding inside the house. Previously, he didn't even notice that he had woken up. When a sharp-eyed little girl saw him, she was both surprised and happy. "Lord Third is awake!"

This alarmed the outside world. Old Lady Shen also rushed over, having once combed her hair in time.

"Third brother!" Old Mrs. Shen's eyes turned red when she saw her youngest son sitting on his pillow.

She took three steps forward and had to stop as the long slump in front of the bed blocked her way. Shen Jun smiled at her and gave her a gentle gesture. Under her surprised gaze, he pulled Xiu Ying to his side. Seeing that she was still sleeping soundly, he said to the little girl, "Take the couch away." As he spoke, he covered her with the blanket.

Old Mrs. Shen was finally able to get close to her son. She walked to the edge of the bed and sat down to carefully observe his expression. His face was still pale and his spirit wasn't too good, but at least he had woken up.

"Ol 'Three, do you feel that something is not right? Go and invite Lang Zhong over!" Old Madam Shen turned around to give some instructions. The little girl replied that she had sent someone to invite her. She heaved a sigh of relief. "You're scaring me to death. Don't do that again!"

The fake mountain was neither high nor low, but Old Madam Shen felt that this time, it was truly blessed by the gods.

Shen Jun smiled and nodded his head. He looked at his mother with mixed feelings, but there was still joy in his heart. He had always been a reserved person, so he always seemed cold and aloof. However, when he was happy, the corners of his long and narrow eyes would be raised.

Old Madam Shen was the one who knew her son the best. Naturally, upon seeing this sight, she felt delighted as well. She asked him how he was feeling and if his wound still hurt.

Shen Junxiao smiled and replied one by one, allowing her to feel more at ease. As expected, Old Lady Shen beamed with joy, her entire being seemed to be more spirited than before. Seeing that his son was still not in good spirits, he patted his granddaughter's back from time to time to comfort her. He stood up and said, "Lie down and rest for a while. Let them serve little girl Ying."

"I'm fine." Shen Jun laughed lightly and said, "She can't do anything to stop me. I'll wait for Lang to arrive before I rest." He was saved from being yelled at again.

"Then I'll come back later." Old Mrs. Shen doted on her little son and agreed to anything.

Shen Jun replied with a smile, and waited for the old man to leave before his face turned pale.

— Looks like he was fourteen years old.

However, this little girl shouldn't have been punished to kneel in the ancestral hall. Why did she come to his side? But that's good too. It's good that she didn't suffer.

She had indeed suffered too much.

Shen Jun smiled as he thought about those things. His expression was solemn. The little girl looked at him from far away and became fearful. When Master San woke up, it was even more important to keep people away from him than before.

Lang came in, checked Shen Junxiao's brain still bulging, asked some words to say no harm. Old Madam Shen gave him a big red envelope and sent him out to personally watch the girls frying medicine. Lang Zhong said that as long as he applied more medicine, the medicine would stop after the rice dumplings were gone.

Xiu Ying was still in a deep slumber. She covered Shen Jun's smiling blanket with a small mountain, and even after he drank the medicine, she was still talking in her sleep.

Shen Jun smiled as he lowered his head to listen, but he couldn't make out what she was saying. It was just that she was frowning in a very unsteady manner.

Did he have a nightmare?

He lay on his side, reached out and patted her back again, and she stirred. Shen Jun smiled as he thought that she would continue sleeping. Unexpectedly, a pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes opened.

"In a daze, her gaze became brighter and brighter upon meeting his …" Third Uncle! " The hill under the blanket sat up abruptly, moving so fast that it almost fell backwards.

Shen Jun smiled and placed his hand on her shoulder, "Be careful."

Xiu Ying looked at the empty space behind her and realized that it was actually a bed!

Her small body jumped up again, so fast that Shen's smile didn't even reach her face before she grabbed her pretty shoes and jumped off the bed.

Shen Jun also laughed as he sat up. The quilt slid off his body, revealing his white undergarment. His clothes slightly opened up, and a fourteen-year-old youth's Adam's apple bulged. His thin collarbone could still be seen … It was a kind of lazy beauty.

Xiu Ying looked on dumbfoundedly. Then, her old face heated up as she hurriedly lowered her head and twisted the hem of her clothes with her hands.

How could she stare at his body!

The little girl stood uneasily in front of the bed with her head lowered, seemingly very embarrassed. Shen Jun laughed out loud as he looked at her.

The little girl had already brought some clothes for Xiu Ying to wear. Xiu Ying stretched out her little fat arm, but didn't dare to raise her head when she heard the laughter. It couldn't be that Third Uncle saw that he had lost his composure, right?

In fact, Shen Junxiao simply found his little niece to be fun.

She had always liked to jump on him the most. Sometimes, when she was being naughty, she would even hug his neck and not let go.

The maidservants quickly dressed Xiu Ying up. They did not dare to look up and laugh at Third Master Shen. They all knew that he would only show a good mood when a lady was around. However, this person changed his face whenever he said something. No one dared to make any unusual movements, as they were afraid of angering him.

"Have you slept enough? I heard you stayed up half the night last night. " Shen Jun smiled and pointed to the edge of the bed.

Xiu Ying pursed her lips and then sat down on the bed, "Third uncle saved me, that's how it should be. You... "Does it still hurt?"

"It hurts." Shen Jun laughed.

Ah, it hurts. Xiu Ying's eyes were wide open as she looked at him. She actually didn't know how to continue. Did she want to be like the past, bragging to her third uncle?! No, it was too childish. She couldn't say it now.

Then why did she ask?

The girl's face was round and her peach blossom eyes were wide open as she stared at him in a daze. She looked as if she didn't know how to speak. No matter how one looked at her, she was still a silly girl. She was so cute that it would hurt the heart of anyone who looked at her.

Shen Jun smiled, wanting to laugh again. It seemed like he didn't laugh for a long time. When he saw the little girl again, he could make her laugh at any time. He really did like this cute and innocent little niece.

It was as if ever since he had become sensible, she was the only pure person in his world. It made him want to protect her and let her be free from worries and worries. Thus, when he saw her fall down the fake mountain, he didn't even hesitate before jumping down.

"Ok, third uncle doesn't hurt anymore." The little girl couldn't speak anymore, he was the only one who could smooth things over.

Xiu Ying was startled when she heard this. In this kind of situation, she should be the one to coax her third uncle, right? Why did it have to be the other way around?

Shen Jun smiled but did not continue to study her thoughts. He only ordered the little girl to prepare breakfast for him. After breakfast time, she went back to sleep.

The little girl in the room started to get busy. Xiu Ying wanted to say no, she just needed to go back to her mother's place. Her third uncle was leaning against the headboard, looking at her as if he was very happy. She suppressed her thoughts and let the girl lead him to the brick bed opposite. He then looked at the several dishes filled with food.

— Shrimp dumplings, meat buns, red dates and millet porridge, hawthorn cakes, and all kinds of pickled vegetables were her favorite dishes.

A greeting came from outside. Master Shen and Second Master had come over. Old Lady Shen had also returned.

"Third brother, are you feeling better?" Old Master Shen walked in with large strides, and one could no longer hear his voice. He seemed to be brimming with vigor.

Xiu Ying had no choice but to let the little girl help her down the brick bed and pay her respects to the seniors that came in.

Shen Jun smiled at the newcomer, his eyes gradually becoming colder. His handsome face was expressionless.
