In the drowsy mood, a gust of wind blew by, with the coldness of winter. After a moment, Xu Shu felt something falling on her face, gently, soft and itchy. Xu Shu raised her hand to brush away, but her hand was grabbed by something, warm, rough, and powerful. Xu Shu struggled for a while but did not break free. She seemed to realize something in the haze. The sleepiness gradually faded away. Xu Shu finally woke up. The breath around her was so strong and familiar. When she opened her eyes, she saw Zhou Jin. Sure enough, Xu Shu sat up silently, and the quilt slid down, revealing her neatly dressed inside.

Holding Xu Shu's slightly cool hand, Zhou Jin leaned over to his mouth and sniffed the heat, rubbed it with his hands, as if he wanted to rub Xu Shu's hand with warmth, "You woke up, it's aroused you!"

Zhou Jin's tone was gentle but heavy. So many things happened in the past six months, but he was not by Xu Shu's side. When Xu Shu might need him the most, he was thousands of miles away and had no news. Xu Shu was left alone to face everything and resist all the pain alone.

Xu Shu did not shy away from Zhou Jin's direct look, and also looked back directly, but Zhou Jin's eyes were full of love and warmth, while Xu Shu's eyes were cold and empty, "What are you here to do?"

"Come to see you... Sorry, because I have made you suffer!" Zhou Jin kissed the back of Xu Shu's hand, and his warm lips touched Xu Shu's cool skin. The coolness spread from his mouth to his heart. Zhou Jin felt a pain in his heart. So far, he seemed to have been implicating Xu Shu.

"I'm used to it!"

Xu Shu put her eyes away and wanted to retract her hand, but Zhou Jin did not let go. Now she has no strength, so she can only let Zhou Jin hold her hand in obedience. Zhou Jin's palms are wide and warm. Such warmth makes people addicted and reluctant to leave. But once it falls, it will be broken into pieces. The temporary greed has caused irreparable pain now. Such a lesson is unforgettable, and Xu Shu can't forget it even if she wants to.

"I'm sorry!" Zhou Jin looked ashamed, "I didn't make any arrangements. If I had earlier..." He thought that he would let Zhuang Li protect Xu Shu, but no one expected that the Empress Dowager would target Xu Shu in a roundabout way.

"Now it's useless to say this!" Xu Shu suddenly took a deep breath and interrupted Zhou Jin hurriedly. She tried hard to forget some things and never wanted to be brought up by anyone again. The bloody wound had not healed yet, so she didn't want to be stabbed again.

Every moment after Xu Hui's death, Xu Shu was convinced to accept this fact and stop making unnecessary assumptions. Those not only have no intention, but will also make her fall into endless self-blame. The guilt she tried hard to abandon did not want to be carried by anyone. Neither she nor Zhou Jin should blame herself for Xu Hui's death.

Zhou Jin stopped talking with distress and held Xu Shu's hand tighter. Xu Shu was right. Nothing was useful now. The dead people couldn't survive. The harm Xu Shu suffered could not be erased. Now he could not do anything except guilt, and he could not do anything... Zhou Jin felt powerless and resentful.

"You go, don't come again in the future!"

She had already drunk the Anshen Soup, just to not want to see Zhou Jin, but she still woke up. She didn't want to see him again, but she was still dressed neatly and lying in her clothes. Xu Shu lowered her head helplessly. Since she was destined to be unable to escape, then face it!

"I can leave today, but I will come in the future!" Zhou Jin looked at Xu Shu calmly. No matter whether Xu Shu was angry or not, Zhou Jin could not agree to her.

"What's the use of coming?" Xu Shu's face was calm and indifferent, and there was no sign of any emotional fluctuations. "You can get nothing except for only increasing your worries!"

"I don't want anything, I just want you to be fine!"

"The further you are from me, the more likely I am to be well!"

"Xu Shu!" Zhou Jin leaned forward anxiously, trying to cover Xu Shu's mouth, not wanting to hear her say more hurtful words.

Xu Shu turned her head coldly, "Isn't it? If it weren't for you, how could the Empress Dowager stare at me and attack me again and again? If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have fallen to this point! If it weren't for you..." Xu Hui wouldn't have died.

"It's all my fault!" Zhou Jin did not defend himself at all, "It's me, it's me! It's me who's sorry for you, it's me who hurt you, but I want to make up for it now, would it be good to give me a chance?"

"No such opportunity!" Xu Shu refused mercilessly, "If you really feel sorry for me, then please go farther away from me from now on!"

"I can't do it, Xu Shu, I can't do it!" Zhou Jin murmured, "I can promise you anything else, but this is the only thing I can't do!"

"Why?" Xu Shu murmured and lowered her head, "Why don't you let me go?"

Zhou Jin felt a little bitter in his heart. He listened to Zhuang Li's advice and was ready to be furious at him and speak ill of him, but now Xu Shu is at another extreme.

"This is not your true words, Xu Shu! You obviously don't think so in your heart. You just feel so painful that you want to escape, but I want to share the burden with you..." Zhou Jin's hand slid along Xu Shu's temples to behind his ears and then fell to the corner of his jaw. Suddenly, he touched a hand wet, and hurriedly raised Xu Shu's chin, and indeed saw Xu Shu's face was already full of tears.

"Why did you provoke me? Isn't it all over the place to let me drown in the well?" Xu Shu looked at Zhou Jin in tears. The hatred in this look was real. If Zhou Jin had not provoked her in Pingliang City, many things would not have happened in the future. Some people would not have to die, and some would not have changed.

"What if you die, what should I do if I leave you alone?" Zhou Jin wiped away the tears from the corners of Xu Shu's eyes with his thumb, but the tears still couldn't stop surging out.

"Isn't that great? Everyone hopes this is the case now!" Xu Shu smiled coldly. There are so many people looking forward to her death now. "I'm dead, how many people can I help you!"

But why did she help them?

"Xu Shu..." Zhou Jin's voice sank a little, "I will not let such a thing happen again, no one can hurt you again!"

Xu Shu smiled softly and said with a sarcastic sarcastic look, "You can't do it!" With Zhou Jin's embarrassed and angry expression, Xu Shu continued faintly, "I can't do it either! I can't predict who the Queen Mother will put her hand on next time, so the only thing I can do is stay away from you!"
