Because of this incident, Song Jing no longer dared to become friends with anyone easily, nor did he want to get too deeply involved with anyone.
She would rather be alone than let anyone be involved in danger because of her.
Even if Nina now tells Song Jing that that man is a killer and a spy, and that Song Jing has misunderstood Huo Chengxuan all these years, there is no way to erase the shadow left by this incident in Song Jing's heart.
This is a scar. If it stays there, even if the misunderstanding is resolved, Song Jing and Huo Chengxuan will never be able to return to their original appearance.
Song Jing lowered his eyes and applied the medicine to Nina, his eyes filled with thoughts.
She and Huo Chengxuan were once close partners. They could go through life and death together, share a bowl of rice, and even sleep on the same mat.
Huo Chengxuan was ten years older than Song Jing. At that time, Song Jing had just experienced his parents' car accident, was kidnapped by the Wuji Society, and then walked to Huo Chengxuan.
Huo Chengxuan hired various teachers for her, learned every skill, and personally taught her shooting and assassination techniques.
Except for medical skills, everything Song Jing knows now was learned from Huo Chengxuan in those years.
She once really regarded Huo Chengxuan as an older brother and would risk her life for him.
Later, Song Jing also discovered that Huo Chengxuan would do anything to achieve his goals. He would take advantage of anyone or anything he could use, including her.
This was the beginning of the estrangement between them. The friend who was kidnapped in front of her by Huo Chengxuan and was widowed was just the beginning of the complete breakdown of their relationship.
After all, Song Jing and Huo Chengxuan are not the same person.
After Nina finished speaking, she found that Song Jing was still applying medicine for her and did not speak. She couldn't help but said: "Jing, the misunderstanding between you and your husband has been resolved now. Don't you have nothing to say?"
"What did you say?" Song Jing put the lid on the ointment, "I'm even more surprised now why Huo Chengxuan hid this matter and didn't allow me to know?"
Nina took the clothes next to her and put them on, "I think sir may want to protect you."
Song Jing raised his eyebrows, "Protect me?"
"Jing, you may not have noticed it yourself, but you are actually a soft-hearted person. As long as someone is good to you, you can return it ten times as good." Nina said seriously: "This is an undeserved job.
The innocence that appears in people like us. I think Sir wants to protect your innocence."
Song Jing was slightly startled. She really didn't realize that she had such a personality.
She felt that she just didn't want to owe others any favors.
When Song Jing came out of the small building, he looked a little dazed.
"Chirp."
Song Jing came back to his senses and saw a white harrier standing on a tree. A warm color flashed in his eyes and he raised his arms.
The white harrier landed on Song Jing's arm and rubbed the back of her hand affectionately.
Song Jing touched its head and took off the note from its paw.
[Little sister, we have received news from Huo Chengxuan. If you don’t want to come back with him, senior brother will pick you up - senior brother will stay.]
A smile flashed in Song Jing's eyes, and he went into the room and took a pen and paper from his bag to reply the message.
[It’s okay, I’ll go back to Shuiyun Peak with Huo Chengxuan tomorrow.]
Song Jing stuffed the written note into the leather tube on the white harrier's paw, rubbed its head, and said, "Send the letter back obediently. Don't be playful and catch snakes and mice on the road."
"Chirp, chirp." The white harrier flapped its wings and called twice, as if to say that it was super well-behaved and not playful.
"I'll take you to the back mountain to catch the black snake. Let's go." Song Jing ruffled the feathers of the white harrier again, carried it to the window, raised his hands and let it fly.
The white harrier circled at the window and chirped twice before flying away.
Huo Chengxuan went to do business for a long time and didn't come back until early in the morning.
Song Jing was lying on the bed when he heard the sound of a car parked at the door of the small villa, followed by an exclamation.
She got up from the bed, opened the window and looked downstairs.
Huo Chengxuan was helped out of the car, his body covered in blood.
As if aware of Song Jing's gaze, Huo Chengxuan raised his head and looked towards the third floor.
Seeing Song Jing standing at the window, Huo Chengxuan smiled, moved his lips, and said silently: It's okay.
Song Jing picked up his bag and came out of the room. Huo Chengxuan had been helped into the hall of the small villa. The family doctor had arrived and was examining Huo Chengxuan's wounds.
"Sir, these wounds on your body cannot be treated simply like this." The doctor looked nervous.
"No need. You give me a simple treatment first to cover up the smell of blood. When the big room hears the news, someone will come over soon. I'll deal with them first and then treat the wound carefully." Huo Chengxuan's face turned pale.
He had a strong smell of blood on his body.
Song Jing came down from upstairs and stepped forward without saying a word.
The doctor was startled and just about to speak, Huo Chengxuan raised his hand to signal the doctor to leave first.
The doctor had no choice but to step aside full of doubts, thinking to himself, what on earth does such a yellow-haired girl want to do when she opens the husband's wound without saying anything?
Huo Chengxuan had several injuries on his body and he bled a lot, but they were not fatal.
Song Jing first used the saline solution next to him to clean his wound, and then took out the ointment and applied it to him.
There were two long and deep wounds, and Song Jing also performed disinfection and sutures.
The doctor standing aside saw Song Jing handling these wounds skillfully and was a little shocked and speechless.
Huo Chengxuan didn't say anything, just looked down at Song Jing treating his wounds.
"Change your clothes and you won't smell the blood anymore." Song Jing put his things back in his bag.
"Jing, you are my personal maid, you should do the changing." Huo Chengxuan smiled.
Song Jing glanced at him, took his backpack, and said, "Go upstairs."
Huo Chengxuan's eyes flashed with surprise, but he quickly figured it out.
If he had made such a request before, Song Jing would not have paused at all and would have rejected it directly.
Now she agreed, and there was only one reason.
Song Jing already knew the truth.
Huo Chengxuan followed Song Jing back to the bedroom on the third floor. Song Jing chose a set of loose and comfortable clothes from his cloakroom, undressed him with indifferent eyes, and then put on clean clothes.
"Won't you change my pants for me?" Huo Chengxuan asked.
Song Jing threw his pants to him, turned around and walked out of the bedroom.
"Jing." Huo Chengxuan called her, "Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, how about trying it with me?"
Song Jing looked back at him, "Huo Chengxuan, we are not from the same place."
"You and I are not the same person, but Shi Yan is the same person?" Huo Chengxuan curled his lips and smiled gloomily, "Are his Shi Yan's hands much cleaner than mine?"
"I met you before Shi Yan. Didn't you also like me before?"
"Shi Yan will not take advantage of me, but you will." Song Jing paused and lowered his eyes, "And the relationship between us will go further and further, and it is not just because of a misunderstanding."
"And there is a difference between liking and liking."
"I used to like you, and that was because I regarded you as my brother. This kind of liking is family affection."
"But the banquet..."
Song Jing's heart felt a dull pain when he mentioned Shi Yan, and he waited for a second before continuing, "He is my lover."
