Chapter 323: Wait for Me

323. Chapter 323: Wait for Me

Shi Lin lowered his gaze and said, "Qiao Sheng, if my eyes truly don't get better, will you despise me? Will you not want me?"

He is such a proud person.

Now he actually speaks to her.

He speaks so softly.

Qiao Sheng is both angry and heartbroken.

"What nonsense are you talking? You will get better; even if you don't, I won't abandon you. I like you as a person, not your eyes. If you really can't see, then I will be your eyes from now on."

Shi Lin hugged Qiao Sheng tightly.

"Qiao Sheng, sorry, I didn't bring back a whole self."

Qiao Sheng gently patted Shi Lin's back and said, "I won't let you say that. You've already done very well; if it were someone else, they might not manage as well as you."

Before Shi Lin could say anything,

Qiao Sheng let go of him, stared at him, and asked, "Shi Lin, you said you'd marry me when you came back—do your words still count?"

"I..."

Shi Lin hesitated—not because he didn't want to marry Qiao Sheng, but because he felt his current self couldn't give her happiness, and might even become a burden.

Qiao Sheng got angry.

"What 'you' you? You think you can go back on your word? If that's the case, then I—I'll just find someone random, marry myself off, and make you regret it later!"

Shi Lin domineeringly said, "I forbid it!"

Qiao Sheng snorted and said, "You forbid me? On what grounds? You won't marry me, yet you won't let me marry someone else? Shi Lin, do you even exist like that?"

Shi Lin said nothing.

Qiao Sheng bit him.

Shi Lin lifted her chin and kissed her.

For a moment.

The temperature inside the carriage rose considerably all at once.

Qiao Sheng whispered in Shi Lin's ear, "Shi Lin, I want you."

Really deadly.

Hearing Qiao Sheng's slightly hoarse voice, Shi Lin's little Shi Lin was even more eager to rebel.

"Don't mess around; we're in the carriage, and besides, we're not married yet."

Qiao Sheng asked him, "Shi Lin, are you not capable?"

"You wait for me…"

Shi Lin summoned An Yi over.

After he came over,

Shi Lin had him send them home, to the house Qiao Sheng had previously rented.

They hadn't left yet.

Xiao Shitou and the others ran out.

"Uncle Shi..."

"Third Uncle..."

Shi Lin: "……"

Their timing couldn't be better.

Upon learning that Shi Lin's eyes were poisoned, Shi Jin angrily said, "Third Uncle, who did it? Tell me, I'll find someone to help you kill him."

"That person is already dead."

Shi Lin replied.

Xiao Shitou was also angry, but more so worried about Shi Lin: "Uncle Shi, how do you feel now? Do your eyes hurt? Are you suffering?"

Shi Lin showed a faint smile and said, "It's much better now; you don't need to worry too much about me."

Qiao Sheng glanced at Xiao Shitou and the others and said, "Xiao Shitou, Shi Jin, Shi Ren, Shi Yun, I'll take Shi Lin back first; you guys come back later with An Liu and the others."

"Mom, we want to go with you."

Xiao Shitou stepped forward and said.

Shi Jin and the others all gathered around.

Qiao Sheng thought about it and agreed; they waited outside for a short while, then Xiao Shitou and the others each carried their book boxes and ran out of the restaurant.

The carriage had driven off not long after.

They then began asking Shi Lin questions one after another.

They had never been to a battlefield, nor seen a Tūjué person, so they wanted to know what war was like, whether Tūjué people looked different from them, and whether they were very treacherous.

Shi Lin patiently answered them.
