Little Widower (Female A, Male O) [ChatGPT Translation]

☆ 33. Jinjiang first release

Jinjiang's first release. The next day, until the sun was three poles high, the tightly closed door was finally pushed open by someone. The person who stuck their head out was Xiao Yan. She half-opened the door, leaned out halfway, waved to the disciples patrolling the courtyard, motioned for them to come closer, and then whispered a few words in their ears. The disciple understood, turned around, and quickly ran off. Xiao Yan retreated back into the room, closed the door, and then hurried back to the bed, lifting the bed curtain. She saw Chen Bao'er curled up in the blanket, only his hair peeking out, looking exceptionally cute. Xiao Yan reached out and gently pulled his hair, making his scalp itch. His body under the blanket moved slightly, deepening the smile in Xiao Yan's eyes. "It's already past the hour of the rabbit, even if Bao'er doesn't want to get up, he should at least have some food first, or I'll feel sorry for him if he gets hungry." Chen Bao'er, who was curled up in the blanket, sat up reflexively at the mention of the time. His body was flexible, and his movements were agile. However, before he could sit firmly, he felt that something was wrong all over his body. His waist was sore, his ribs and lower back, even the insides of his legs, were all aching. The pain made him lose strength, and the blanket wrapped around him slipped down, revealing a slender shoulder. He pulled up the blanket and coughed lightly, "My clothes. . ." Xiao Yan chuckled, "Your clothes got wet and were piled up all night, they're already wrinkled, how can you wear them?" Chen Bao'er moved his lips and whispered, "It's. . . it's okay." Xiao Yan said, "I've already asked the disciple to fetch them for you, just wait a moment." Xiao Yan took a few steps forward, sat on the edge of the bed, and reached out to twirl Chen Bao'er's loose hair with her fingertips, speaking affectionately, "Bao'er, your hair is so soft, your thoughts are gentle and delicate, and at critical moments, you show the courage of not letting go." Xiao Yan looked at him, her heart softening like a pool of spring water, unable to help but feel proud and emotional, "It's my good fortune from several lifetimes to be able to hold hands with you." Chen Bao'er felt embarrassed by her praise, his scalp tingling as if tickled to the core. "You're too kind," Xiao Yan was about to say more, wanting to express the many good things about the other person that she couldn't explain clearly, but before she could speak, a knocking sound was heard.

I'm sorry, but it seems that the text provided is incomplete. Could you please provide the full text so I can accurately translate it for you?

Chen Bao'er took a deep breath and looked at Xiao Yan, "Master, you weren't injured at all, were you? The spitting blood was all a lie to deceive me, right?"

Xiao Yan chuckled dryly, scratching her head, "Bao'er, where did you get that idea. . ."

Seeing that she still wanted to deny it, Chen Bao'er's face darkened, stood up immediately and turned to leave. Xiao Yan quickly grabbed his arm, holding on stubbornly, and apologized with a smile, "Alright, Bao'er, my dear Bao'er, it was wrong of me to pretend to spit blood by biting my tongue, but it's also unfair to say that I didn't have any injuries at all, I really couldn't move after using my inner strength yesterday, it was not intentional to tease you."

Chen Bao'er turned back, his eyes cold as he spoke, "Master, there's no need for this, I can't bear it."

Xiao Yan held onto him tightly, unwilling to let go, "When I was still in my mother's womb, I was infected with the Heartbreaking Gu poison, born with deficiencies, always weaker than others my age. Later, I barely cultivated my Qi, but my meridians were blocked, far from being as strong as a normal cultivator. My adoptive father passed on half of his cultivation to me, barely allowing me to progress in martial arts, but using inner strength still caused me unbearable pain. Yesterday, I used my inner power to save you, but suffered a backlash, leaving me unable to move, it was not intentional to make fun of you."

Chen Bao'er gave up struggling, turned back to look at Xiao Yan in astonishment. He never expected that Xiao Master, who seemed invincible, had a similar experience to his own in his youth.

Xiao Yan continued, "My mother was originally an assassin for the Bright Cult, under the control of the cult leader with the help of the Saintess, she escaped and returned to the Central Plains with my father. She had the Heartbreaking Gu used by the cult to control disciples in her body, which affected me while I was still in her womb. My body was indeed weak, only by forming a bond with the Kunze could it be greatly improved, this is true."

Listening to her story without any reservation, Chen Bao'er's heart suddenly tightened: she's telling me this, it's her secret, why is she telling me?

Xiao Yan said, "Bao'er, I have never mentioned these things to anyone."

Chen Bao'er blinked, "So that's why Manager Shen is so eager to take care of your backyard for you."

Xiao Yan chuckled, "Bao'er, why are you suddenly thinking about that, are you jealous? Don't worry, if I had such intentions earlier, I wouldn't have faced yesterday's difficulties. I, Xiao Yan, will never compromise myself for a little convenience. I want you, it's from the bottom of my heart. I've been waiting, just to confirm your feelings. What happened yesterday did disrupt my plans, although the Kunyin Pill wasn't enough to turn me into Kunze, it did cause my internal energy to be chaotic and old illnesses to resurface. You risked your life to save me, and came to see me at Shen Ying's persuasion, I'm really. . . very happy."

Chen Bao'er asked, "But why did you push me away at that time?"

Xiao Yan replied, "Because you have the Bright Cult's mark on your hand."

Chen Bao'er widened his eyes, unable to hide his astonishment.

Xiao Yan explained, "Some members of the Bright Cult have feather tattoos on their bodies, I've seen similar marks on Xue Cai."

Chen Bao'er was surprised, "You mean the red mark on my forearm? I've had it since I can remember, although it's strange, I always thought it was just a birthmark."

Xiao Yan nodded, "I believe you."

Chen Bao'er, with his background and temperament, should have carefully confirmed his past before entering the sect, and he didn't seem like a disciple raised by the Bright Cult at his age. Although the patterns on his body were similar in shape, they didn't look like tattoos, could there be another reason. . .

Chen Bao'er suddenly realized something: "Where is Xue Cai's tattoo, is it also on his arm?"

Xiao Yan casually replied, "No, it's on his back shoulder."

Chen Bao'er gritted his teeth, "Back shoulder?"

Xiao Yan felt that the tone of the other party seemed a bit off.

"How did you see it?"

Xiao Lou suddenly realized that something was wrong, and quickly explained, "Don't misunderstand, Bao'er, there's nothing between me and him."

Chen Bao'er's face turned cold, "Lou, you are carefree and unrestrained, why fear my misunderstanding."

Xiao Yan cried and laughed, "Wronged, I swear by my heart that there is nothing between me and Xue Cai. As for the tattoo on his body, it was just an accidental discovery, please don't take it to heart."

Chen Bao'er asked, "You said that was the mark of the Tongming Sect, is Xue Shijun also a member of the Tongming Sect?"

Chen Bao'er, being smart and sensitive, did not hold onto that misunderstanding.

Xiao Yan said, "There are some things I am still investigating, I did not mean to hide it from you."

Chen Bao'er shook his head, "Lou, you are a big shot, every move you make affects others' safety, why bother with the plans of us small people."

Seeing him speak lightly but with a melancholic expression, Xiao Yan held his shoulders with both hands, leaned in close, and stared into his eyes, "Bao'er, what you said is really heartbreaking."

Chen Bao'er looked directly at Xiao Yan, hesitated for a moment, and finally asked, "Lou, how do you really see me?"

Xiao Yan smiled, "Naturally, as someone close to my heart, my one and only beloved."
