Lin Xuanshu was quite suspicious, curious about who the man in the carriage was. He raised the window curtain, and saw Xu Xuancao next to a man in white.

The two sat shoulder to shoulder, snuggling up.

“This…” Lin Xuanshu’s eyes widened, his head was busy spinning messy threads, his eyes were blinded.

The man in white turned sideways and smiled politely: “Master Lin, Miss Xu is staying at my house, you don’t need to worry.”

Lin Xuanshu was startled. A single man and a woman living together, isn’t it enough to make people worry?

The light in the carriage was dim, and Lin Xuanshu could barely see the man’s appearance: “You are Bai Sijin, the genius doctor Bai?”

Bai Sijin is a well-known figure in Lin’an City, Lin Xuanshu have long heard about him, and had admired him very much.

But at this moment, Lin Xuanshu was hostile towards Bai Sijin. A man is known to be an animal controled by his lower body. In this case wherein Xu Xuancao’s eyesight is inconvenient, she might be stripped and eaten.

Xu Xuancao faintly felt that Bai Sijin could pass the line.

She subconsciously moved aside, but felt that his hand added a little more strength, firmly clasping her shoulder.

Don’t let her go away.

Bai Sijin calmly said: “Lord Lin, I will take good care of her.”

The driver swung his whip, the wheels creaked and drove away, leaving Lin Xuanshu who was extremely entangled.

Xu Xuancao moved away uncomfortably. Bai Sijin no longer restrained her, and obediently let go of her arms.

Xu Xuancao frowned: “What is this for?”

Bai Sijin said calmly and without any embarrassment, “Miss Xu misunderstood. I deliberately got close to you so that he would not continue to harass you.”

Xu Xuancao felt that he was making a fuss out of a molehill, “No need. He just thought I was an acquaintance.”

Bai Sijin was silent. After a while, he asked in a deep voice, “You haven’t reached an agreement with the government?

“…”

“I have heard about this series of cases. The first family to be exterminated was a family surnamed Li. The crime scene was in an alley of this street, not far from here.”

“Well, just drive me down nearby.”

Bai Sijin said softly, “I’m a doctor, so I should be able to help a little.”

Xu Xuancao couldn’t refuse. Her eyesight was inconvenient and she had to rely on help from others. Bai Sijin Jin is the only choice, and he is also the only one she can trust most at present.

After the carriage stopped at the end of the alley, Xu Xuancao smelled a stench outside a house. Obviously, it was the resentment soaked in the blood of the deceased.

Bai Sijin said, “The house is sealed.”

“Over the wall.” Xu Xuancao came to the wall resolutely, and was about to climb over the wall to enter. She suddenly thought that Bai Sijin behind her was just a doctor, so he probably couldn’t do martial arts.

Xu Xuancao said helplessly, “I’ll take you in.”

Bai Sijin hummed lightly.

Xu Xuancao was in trouble. How will she bring him in, if only there was a rope.

If there is no rope, she can only…

“Excuse me!” Xu Xuancao braced herself, wrapped her arms around his tight waist, and quickly climbed over the high wall.

Unexpectedly, there was a short tree on the other side of the wall. Xu Xuancao couldn’t see it, so she collided with the short tree.

The leaves rustled, the branches pierced her body, and they were about to hit the thick trunk.

Bai Sijin hugged her back, pushed the tree trunk away with his back, the two of them brushed against the dense leaves, and fell together on the soft grass.

“Hiss…” Xu Xuancao’s arm was so painful from being rubbed by the branches, it seemed to be bleeding. Furthermore, she felt her face buried in the man’s strong chest, which seemed to be protecting her well.

She said guiltily, “I’m sorry, I was reckless…”

The man under her didn’t say anything for a long time.

Xu Xuancao felt more and more strange, his arms were still wrapped around her waist, and the strength was getting tighter and tighter.

As if to imprison her in his body.

“Doctor Bai?” She asked helplessly.

Bai Sijin slightly opened his eyelids, his black eyes turned into vertical pupils, and his originally elegant and handsome face added a bit of ferocity.

He thought of this very early on…

The first time he met Xu Xuancao, he smelled a faint fragrance similar to sandalwood, and he had a strong urge to get close.

She was lying in bed when she was in a coma, and he had fantasized about hooking her leg with the thick and long jade white snake tail, wrapping it tightly, and the cold snake Lin rubbed against the soft and delicate skin, rubbing it once and for all.

It was as if he had done it countless times before.
