Riding The Wind And Waves In Shura Field [Quick Wear]

3.16 - The two of us are really miserable

　　During the few days that Shen Ran was recuperating at the Chu family, he still lived in Chu Mu's room as before, and the room he had lived in for three years was right next to it. Chu Mu would occasionally sit next to him and say, "Until now, that room still remains the same as when you left. I don't allow anyone to touch the things inside."

　　Shen Ran lowered his eyes slightly. There were two chains wrapped around his wrists, both of which were engraved with runes. He lay there exhausted, even breathing was labored. This was different from the feeling of being injected with muscle relaxants. With every breath he felt as if his soul was about to leave his body, but it was always just a little short of that, almost driving him crazy.

　　"Don't be so angry... My brother died in your hands, and I didn't say anything." Chu Mu sneered, and he sighed softly, "The Chu family can protect your life, but this is because you are still useful."

　　"You wouldn't have said that before." Shen Ran lowered his eyes slightly, then sneered, and turned his head as if to look at Chu Mu, but his eyes were a little empty, and then he said, "Besides the method you used last time, what other methods do you have? Why don't you tell me all at once? I can try them all."

　　"Of course, I'll let you try them one by one." After Chu Mu said this, he turned and left.

　　There were a few "knock knock" sounds. Shen Ran's face had already turned very pale because of these talismans. He did not answer, but just closed his eyes. He did not know who was outside. If it was Chu Mu, the other party would not knock on the door. If it was not Chu Mu, he had no interest in meeting the other party.

　　After a while, the door was pushed open, and Shen Ran opened his eyes. He turned his head as if to look in the direction of the door, with a somewhat dull expression. He did not speak first, but just waited quietly for the other party to speak first.

　　"I'm Bai An, have you seen me?" Bai An said this as he walked in. He looked at the two chains that bound Shen Ran. The chains were rough and heavy. Shen Ran's wrists had been rubbed red and swollen, and bleeding was faintly seeping out. The blood was in the gaps between the runes.

　　"Did Chu Mu ask you to come?" He had noticed that there was something unusual between Chu Mu and Bai An in the past few days. Shen Ran had a handsome face. He looked at Bai An weakly and whispered, "Just tell me if you have something to say."

　　"It wasn't Chu Mu who asked me to come." Bai An paused, then continued, "In fact, a few days ago when you entered the Bai Scenic Area, Chu Mu followed you in without a second thought. We tried to stop him but failed."

　　"He's afraid that I'll die too early, right?" Shen Ran smiled slightly, but there was no smile in his eyes. He just said, "You should know a lot about me, at least your elders at home will tell you a thing or two."

　　This statement is indeed correct. Many elders in the family would mention Shen Ran to their juniors, marveling at his talent while hating what he did.

　　"I did remind her, but I don't think you're that kind of person." Bai An turned his eyes away and said, "I think there might be something wrong with the rumor. After all, if you hadn't reminded her and rescued Sister Jiaojiao in time at the Bai Scenic Area, I'm afraid she would have stayed there."

　　Shen Ran curled the corners of his lips, turned his eyes away, and looked extremely tired.

　　"I also heard that after the Chu family incident, Chu Mu changed completely." Bai An was the one who knew the whole thing best. He said, "Everyone said that he hated Shen Ran very much, but this is not the first time I saw him staring at your photo in a daze. Even though he just took a photo of you accidentally, it can be regarded as a photo of you in the same frame. He cherishes that photo very much."
