Sorry, My Wife Has a Hole in Her Brain Chapter 20 Part 3

Su Wenqing threw the scar-removing ointment in her hand up and down while skipping towards the Xie family's courtyard, feeling a sense of pleasure thinking that she was the only one sober while everyone else was drunk.

Outside the courtyard where the Xie family stayed, Xiao Yun was walking out with his arm around Xie Shian's shoulders, "What’s wrong with you? You just got scratched while saving someone in the water. Is that worth hiding in the house for three days?"

When Xie Shian remembered how this man had asked the women in various families for a good scar removal remedy, for him, he didn't even want to roll his eyes. He felt that all the stains in his life were caused by this bad friend.

Xie Shian explained for the one hundred and eighth time: "I told you, I really have something to do."

Xiao Yun said, "I know you are busy letting those people in the north fight each other, but I just saw you release all those pigeons. You have nothing to do now. How can we waste such a beautiful springtime by staying inside the house?"

Xie Shian rubbed his brows, feeling that he probably wouldn’t be able to catch up on his sleep.

"But the spy you sent was indeed careful. He knew to carve the real content into the bamboo seal," Xiao Yun laughed so hard that he shook back and forth. "You know, the indescribable expression on your face when you took out the cloth strip from the bamboo seal and saw that the handwriting was blurred is enough to make me laugh for a year."

Xie Shian didn't want to talk anymore and wanted to shake off his arm and go back to his room to sleep.

"I've never seen an expression like that on your face. Third Miss Su is really talented," Xiao Yun pointed at the three scratch marks on Xie Shian's face and said in an ambiguous tone, "I'm curious about how the situation turned from you saving her from drowning to you two burning with passion."

When Xie Shian heard this, he recalled the scene of Su Wenqing holding him tightly with her arms and legs underwater, and his cheeks turned slightly red involuntarily.

As soon as Su Wenqing arrived, she saw Xiao Yun had his arm hooked intimately around Xie Shian’s shoulders. His eyes looked like he wanted to molest Xie Shian, while Xie Shian shyly turned his head away. And most importantly, Xie Shian was actually blushing!!!

That's Xie Shian!! The Xie Shian who can remain calm even when facing an overwhelming enemy army!!!

Xiao Yun was the first to notice Su Wenqing. He glanced at the porcelain box in Su Wenqing's hand, took his arm off Xie Shian's shoulder, and said in a teasing tone, "Speak of the devil. I'll go first and wait for you. No hurry. You guys... take your time."

Xie Shian calmly grabbed Xiao Yun's arm. The conversation between the Su sisters by the lake that day was still ringing in his ears. He really couldn't handle it. There was an obvious threat in Xie Shian's eyes, as if saying, “Friend or not? If so, help me block this."

Xiao Yun pried open Xie Shian's fingers one by one. It's because we are friends that I can't hinder your love. I think this girl is quite interesting. She is delivering the medicine personally. She is bold and considerate. Maybe if the atmosphere is good later, she can express her love directly!

Xie Shian was frightened by Xiao Yun's last sentence. He turned his neck back with difficulty, like an old and dilapidated machine.

Su Wenqing coughed awkwardly to break the charming atmosphere. She just came to say thank you, it was just a matter of a few minutes. This kind of reluctance to let go and this lingering look... Why are they so serious...?

Every cell in Xie Shian's brain began to work at high speed. His expression returned to normal in a second, smiling politely, "Miss Su, why are you looking for me?"

Tsk tsk tsk, look at this, all that shyness, all that blushing, all that lingering affection. It turns out that they are only shown in front of the one you love.

Su Wenqing deliberately added a double meaning: "Thank you so much for saving me that day. I know it was just a small favor for you, but it was a life-saving grace for me."

Xie Shian was about to lose the smile on his face. He didn't know why he suddenly remembered a line from the play that Xiao Yun had told him: ‘I can't repay the favor of saving my life, I can only repay it with my body.’

Su Wenqing stepped forward and patted Xie Shian on the shoulder, "I can never repay you for saving my life."

Xie Shian struggled to control his body from shaking.

"If there's anything I can do to help you in the future, just let me know."

The high-speed processor in Xie Shian's brain suddenly froze. He still had a calm smile on his face, but his mind was indeed blank.

Su Wenqing stuffed the scar-removing cream into Xie Shian's hand. Seeing the three scratch marks on his face near his neck, she said, "I know that women... No, I mean, men dress up to please the ones they love. No one wants their loved ones to see their flaws, but the Fifth Prince is seeking a cure for your injury, so I'm sure you're happy in your heart."

The burnt smoke in Xie Shian’s brain slowly dissipated, and a question mark slowly rose from the smoke: Happy?

"This scar-removing cream is said to be quite effective, but I suggest you consult a physician before using it. I don't trust these kinds of products that have no 3s."

Xie Shian: ???

Su Wenqing wondered why Xie Shian didn't say a word. Just when she was about to ask, she suddenly realized that Xie Shian's feelings for Xiao Yun were hidden very deeply. Would she be the first person to discover it??

Su Wenqing looked at the confusion and bewilderment that flashed across Xie Shian's face while he pretended to be calm and composed, and suddenly her heart softened. She patted Xie Shian's shoulder sincerely, with encouragement in her eyes, "Some feelings are destined to have no results. You have to learn to let go in order to go further."

Xie Shian: ????? ????? ????

After Su Wenqing left, Xiao Yun sneaked out from the corner where he was eavesdropping, "'Feelings'?? 'Results'?? Aren't you guys moving a little too fast?"

Xie Shian frowned and thought hard for a long time. When he still couldn’t understand, he repeated Su Wenqing's words, "What do you thinks did she mean by her words? What feelings? What letting go?"

Xiao Yun pondered for a moment, then clapped his hands in sudden enlightenment and said, "Based on my understanding of women, I think she is using you to express herself."

"She pretended to encourage you to convince herself to let go."

"Tsk, it seems that Third Miss Su has deep feelings for you!"
