Chapter 96 – Losing In Vain

“No need.” Su Fu coldly said.

The fatal injuries on his body were concentrated on his upper body. Although there were many injuries on his lower body, they were all skin-deep wounds. Even if she didn’t treat them, they would heal in a few days.

u Fu added,” Thank you.”

“I’m not in the mood to appreciate the appearance of lacerated flesh. If you don’t want to, then forget it.” Ran Yan wiped the blood off of her hand with a damp cloth and sat on the mat.

“I…Could I borrow you for one night? Just stay here.” Su Fu lowered his eyes. He felt that this was blasphemy against an unmarried woman, and Ran Yan might not agree.

“It’s not that you can’t, but you have to give me a reason.” Ran Yan picked up the teapot and poured two cups of water, passing one to Su Fu.

Su Fu took the water, thanked her, and drained it in one gulp. Then he said, “I spent my life working for a certain person to get this skeleton back. He promised me that he would return this skeleton five years later. Today marks the end of the five-year contract. However, I have countless secrets against him, so he set up an ambush to kill me. In all likelihood, the place where I live has already been exposed, so…”

Su Fu stroked the bundle by his side, and a trace of warmth appeared on his face, making his already handsome face even more attractive.

Ran Yan glanced at the tightly guarded bag and said, “Go sleep on the couch after you finish cleaning yourself.”

Su Fu was stunned. Ran Yan had already tossed him a clean cloth and carried the basin to change the water.

He was still in a daze when Ran Yan brought the water in. The expression on this iceberg of a man’s face made her laugh. Ran Yan faintly smiled, put the water down, turned around, and went outside to read a medical book.

After a pause, Ran Yan heard the sound of water.

After flipping through more than ten pages, Ran Yan only heard stark silence inside when she coughed. After a while, she lifted the curtain and walked in. She looked up and saw that Su Fu was completely naked. To be more precise, his upper body was only covered in cloth. He tilted his head slightly, and the orange light shone on his face. His eyes reflected a large faint shadow. She didn’t know if his hair was wet because of the rain or from his sweat. A few wisps of ink were smudged on his pale cheeks. His lower jaw was slightly injured, and a two-inch-long wound emitted bright red blood. It made his face look more enchanting and charming.

Su Fu bent his leg to wrap a cloth around the root of his thigh, blocking the important part. However, his strong waist, hip, and muscular legs weren’t a disappointment. From the side of his face to his firm shoulders, solid arms, to his well-built chest and abdomen, his slender waist, and his long legs; all of them were exquisite and toned to perfection.

Ran Yan’s eyes fell on his bent leg. Caused by the lighting, a shadow fell between his legs. Her face suddenly stiffened, and she couldn’t help but turn red.

She had seen a lot of male bodies, but most of those were already stiff. Even if it was an actual collection of evidence, those people would still sit upright and allow her to examine them. Where could one see such exquisite posture!

Su Fu’s wounds were hurting badly. Although he heard Ran Yan’s footsteps outside, he didn’t expect that she would part the curtains and enter without even asking. He wanted to pretend that he didn’t know anything and waited for Ran Yan to leave, but she didn’t. Instead, she was watching with relish and he could no longer ignore her.

Su Fu slowly tilted his face and stared at Ran Yan with uncertainty.

The room was silent and the two sides looked at each other for a long time.

When Su Fu saw where Ran Yan was looking, his pale face instantly flushed. He pretended to be calm and pulled the blood-red robe to cover a certain place. He tried to keep his voice calm and cold, “How can you come in without even asking?”

“I didn’t ask?” Ran Yan coughed just now to tell him that she was coming in.

However, Su Fu didn’t understand it. He treated it as an ordinary cough and didn’t make a sound to stop it, resulting in this situation.

The two of them glared at each other and Ran Yan became a little worried. Su Fu had once said that after seeing his body, she would either be his wife or die. However, Ran Yan didn’t want to choose either, so she said, “You… I was kind enough to take you in. I just took a look. Besides, I didn’t see anything important. Just treat it as if you were repaying me. How about it?”

Su Fu didn’t say anything for a long time. Killing intent burst out from his body and Ran Yan stood on guard. She even took out the medicine hidden in her sleeve and tightly clenched it in her palm. However, Su Fu’s killing intent gradually lowered. He faintly acknowledged it and continued to bandage his wound.

Originally, Su Fu wanted to marry her. But just as he was about to speak, he suddenly thought of the identity of this woman in front of him. She was the daughter of the first wife of the Ran family. Although their Su family wasn’t bad, they couldn’t compare to the Ran family. Moreover, he was just a dispensable son of a concubine. To marry the daughter of the first wife of the Ran family was like a pipe dream.

If he went to the Ran family, he would become the laughingstock.

He was a man, so he couldn’t force her to be his wife just because she had accidentally seen his body. She knew that her identity was too different. Nevertheless, he could only hide here tonight and take this loss for free.

Ran Yan naturally didn’t know Su Fu’s thoughts. Once he agreed, she felt much better and quietly left the room.

Su Fu’s deep gaze looked at the swaying curtains and lowered his eyes to continue bandaging.

Ran Yan awkwardly stood outside. The men she had seen were all dead bodies and their structures were the same.

“Alright.” Inside the room, Su Fu’s voice was several times colder than usual.

Ran Yan coughed dryly and went in after a pause. She didn’t look at Su Fu and just tidied up the table. “Go sleep on the couch. I’ll sleep on the floor.”

“I can just lean here, you… Do you have any men’s clothes?” Su Fu knew that many wives liked to wear men’s clothes, so it wasn’t too rude to ask.

Ran Yan glanced at Su Fu and saw that his clothes were so tattered that they couldn’t be further ripped apart anymore; they were also stained with blood. She went to the chest for a while and took out a light brown, round-necked coat. “I’ve never worn this before. You can make do with it.”

Su Fu quickly put the clothes on. Sure enough, he could only make do with it. The clothes were made according to Ran Yan’s size. He forced them onto his tall body and pulled them tightly. He could clearly see the curves of his body on the clothes as if he could break them apart if he made any unnecessary movements.

The two of them sat quietly for a while before they slowly began to clean up the mess in the room.

Deeper into the night, Ran Yan urged Su Fu to lie on the couch again. To her, the couch was only slightly higher than the ground. It couldn’t be considered a bed. There was no difference between sleeping on the floor or on the couch, but Su Fu insisted on sleeping on the ground.

Usually, the blanket was kept by Xing Niang, so Ran Yan didn’t know where to look for it. After rummaging for a while, she found a blanket. Ran Yan took out a mat from the couch and laid it for Su Fu.

Eventually, the two of them laid down peacefully.
