Chapter 131 - A Good Medicine
Cheng Lin stayed behind to clean up the scene while Yin Jiujin and Yan Jinyu drove back to Mount Jing.
On the way back, Yan Jinyu, who was sitting in the front pa.s.senger seat, kept glancing at Yin Jiujin, who was driving.
In the beginning, Yin Jiujin could barely ignore her gaze, but she had been stealing glances at him along the way. Yin Jiujin finally couldn"t help but look at her and ask, "Why are you staring at me? Do you have something to say?"
"Brother Nine."
The two of them had just kissed so intimately not long ago. Now that the young lady was staring at him with her round eyes, he almost couldn"t take it.
He looked away slightly. "Just say it."
"I realize that you"re a good medicine."
Yin Jiujin was stunned as he looked at her.
However, Yan Jinyu didn"t explain further. She only chuckled and said, "Nothing, nothing."
Whenever she could not control her frustration, she had to drink yogurt or vent it out to suppress it. However, every time she saw blood, she hated the smell of blood and needed to drink yogurt to suppress the disgusting smell of blood.
Hence, she still had to drink yogurt no matter what.
She had seen blood earlier, but there was no yogurt beside her, so she couldn"t suppress the nausea. At that moment, she saw Yin Jiujin"s… lips.
Without thinking, she jumped up and kissed him.
Indeed, just as she had expected, the nausea disappeared after kissing him.
That was why she said that he was a good medicine.
In that case, she could try to kiss him when she is frustrated in the future. Perhaps, she wouldn"t have to drink yogurt anymore?
To be honest, she was actually a little tired of drinking yogurt. However, she had always drunk it like that, so it had become a habit.
After all, if Yin Jiujin"s kiss could even suppress her frustration, didn"t that mean that once she was frustrated, she could just kiss him?
She couldn"t bring yogurt with her every moment, but she could always accompany Yin Jiujin.
Anyway, ever since she acknowledged him as her fiancé, she had planned to protect him and not wander around aimlessly anymore.
Seeing that she wasn"t saying anything, Yin Jiujin didn"t have any intention of pursuing the matter. However, when he saw that she was smiling foolishly again, his eyes couldn"t help but curve into a smile.
"Brother Nine, do you still have anything to ask me?"
Yin Jiujin looked at her. "Are you willing to tell me?"
Yan Jinyu blinked and smiled at him. "I"ll tell you as long as you ask. Of course, I"ll only tell you."
Yin Jiujin was taken aback.
However, his lips curled up slightly.
This girl was saying something he liked to hear again.
"You…" He didn"t continue, but his gaze moved to her left wrist.
Yan Jinyu quickly understood what he meant. She waved the "watch" on her wrist. "Oh, there"s nothing wrong with saying that this is second-hand goods. However, this isn"t second-hand goods that others a.s.sembled. I a.s.sembled it myself. As for its value, most of the materials here are things that you might not be able to buy even if you have the money. Of course, it"s worth for more than 10 dollars."
"…" Yin Jiujin.
"Brother Nine should have seen the golden thread that flew out from it just earlier. That"s my killing weapon. I don"t remember how many people I"ve killed with it."
Yin Jiujin"s heart skipped a beat. He didn"t like her smiling like that.
It was heartbreaking.
"Brother Nine, do you think I"m very cruel and heartless?"
Yan Jinyu didn"t realize that although her expression was normal, her right hand that was on her lap instinctively clenched into a fist when she asked this question.
Even she herself didn"t know that, she was afraid that Yin Jiujin would think that she was cruel deep in her heart.
Or rather, she was afraid that Yin Jiujin would choose to stay away from her after he felt that she was cruel.
In the three years since she destroyed Ghost Slaughter Island, Yan Jinyu had always been very confused. She didn"t want to die, but she didn"t know what she was living for.
She was like a zombie.
She only felt alive when she met Yin Jiujin and acknowledged him as her fiancé.
Yin Jiujin didn"t hesitate at all. "No."
"If you don"t kill others, others will come and kill you. You"re right." He didn"t care about the life and death of others. He only cared if his little girl was safe.
"All these years…" After a pause, Yin Jiujin asked," It"s been hard on you, right? "After asking, his grip on the steering wheel couldn"t help but tighten.
They had been engaged since they were very young. Why didn"t he look for her in the early years?
If he had gone to look for her earlier and brought her back earlier to take care of her, she would have suffered less.
He blamed himself and regretted it.
Actually, Yin Jiujin was only thinking so much because he was interested in Yan Jinyu.
In reality, he wasn"t a very warm-hearted person. Otherwise, he wouldn"t be so indifferent to the Yin Family. Moreover, although he and Yan Jinyu were engaged, he was only seven years old when their engagement was set and Yan Jinyu was only one years old. He had never met Yan Jinyu. He hadn"t even seen Yan Jinyu when she was young.
There was no relations.h.i.+p between them, and coupled with his personality, it was normal for him to not look for Yan Jinyu. There was no need for him to blame himself for this.
Hearing that, Yan Jinyu paused, and the smile on her face froze.
Then, she returned to normal and said, "It"s not hard."
She had matured early and her brain was really good. Learning things was much easier than others, so compared to others, she really didn"t have it hard.
Afraid that Yin Jiujin wouldn"t believe her, she emphasized again, "It"s really not hard!"
Yin Jiujin naturally didn"t believe her. If it wasn"t hard, where did her skills come from? Where did her calluses come from when he first met her?
Fortunately, her hands had slowly recovered. They looked much better now. She would probably have a pair of slender and fair hands in a year or so.
He stared at her without saying a word.
He made Yan Jinyu feel a little uncomfortable with his staring. Her gaze drifted away. "Aiya, let"s not talk about this anymore. Brother Nine, look at this watch of mine. It"s not only a fast watch, but it"s also my murder weapon and communication device… It"s used to contact Little Rain and the rest."
Yin Jiujin was a smart person. Since he already knew her ident.i.ty, he naturally could guess Little Rain"s ident.i.ty.
Hearing Yan Jinyu mention Huo Siyu, Yin Jiujin suddenly recalled what Huo Siyu had said about Yan Jinyu"s psychological trauma.
He didn"t know how her psychological trauma came about, but he could roughly guess now.
"Brother Nine, you gave me a ring that you personally polished. Why don"t I polish one for you too? And a.s.semble a separate communication device just for you and me?"
"You polished the ring for me, so I won"t touch it. I can modify this watch myself on the second try. Brother Nine, do you think…"
Before she could finish speaking, her voice suddenly stopped because she met Yin Jiujin"s faint gaze.
"You… know?" Yan Jinyu only realized that she had let it slip when he hesitated.
When Yin Jiujin made the ring for her as a birthday present, she knew that he had personally polished the ring. However, since he didn"t want her to know, she would follow his wishes and pretend not to know…
She didn"t expect that she would suddenly let it slip!
Was she such a negligent person in the past?
Yan Jinyu thought for a moment and shook her head.
Not really.
If she was a negligent person, she would have died countless times.
Then why was she…
Forget it. She had already let it slip. Let"s leave it at that.
It did not seem to be a bad idea to let him know that she had actually understood his intentions and planned to return him with the same favor.
"I know." Her eyes curved into crescents. "I realized it the day Brother Nine gave me the gift. You even specially carved two letters on the inside of the ring and I found them."
Yin Jiujin"s expression suddenly turned a little unnatural.
She even found such tiny letters…
Alright, he had almost forgotten that she wasn"t only his girl, but she was also the number one killer, "Chi". It seemed normal for her to have such a perception.
On the other hand, he did not feel anything when he had that thought. Now that she had pointed it out, he actually felt a little embarra.s.sed.
He was like a young boy who had never been in love before and had thoughts of preparing a gift for the girl he liked.
Yin Jiujin"s unnaturalness wasn"t obvious, and Yan Jinyu"s thoughts were elsewhere, so she didn"t notice it. She continued, "How about I polish a ring for you too? I"ll put your communication device in it. We can still talk even if you don"t bring your phone out in the future."
Yin Jiujin"s thoughts stirred. "Alright."
He was tempted to have communication devices that belonged to the two of them alone, and even more tempted when she said she wanted to polish his ring personally.
Polis.h.i.+ng a ring with a communication device a.s.sembled in it was much more difficult than simply polis.h.i.+ng a ring.
The young lady was very concerned about him.
This pleased him.
"Then you might have to wait a while. I don"t have any raw materials with me. I have to get them over here from somewhere else."
"Mm-hm," Yin Jiujin said. "There"s no hurry. Take your time. Don"t hurt your hand."
"Brother Nine, don"t worry. I"m very formidable. I definitely won"t hurt myself." As she spoke, she looked up at him with a serious expression. "Brother Nine, speaking of which, after seeing me make a move today, you should know that I"m really formidable. I"m not boasting, right?"
Yin Jiujin chuckled. "Yes, very formidable."
"You"re patronizing me!" She glared at him again.
"Hmph, it"s fine even if you don"t admit that I"m good. It"s fine as long as I know that I"m good. Anyway, I"m completely qualified to be your bodyguard and protect you. After I became famous, whenever I made a move, the price was above 50 million. I don"t even ask you for a salary. I just want you to take care of my meals!"
Yin Jiujin looked at her with a smile. "Didn"t someone say that there was only 1000 dollars in your card?"
Yan Jinyu, "…You"re still bringing up old scores. Stingy!"
She changed the topic. "Brother Nine, don"t interfere with the killer"s matter today. I"ll handle it myself."
"You really don"t need me to interfere?"
"There"s really no need for that. Brother Nine, just do your own thing. I have other plans for this."
Yin Jiujin didn"t ask further and nodded. "Alright."
As the two of them chatted, they arrived at Mount Jing.
As soon as the car arrived at Mount Jing, they saw a car parked outside the manor.
Yan Jinyu couldn"t see the person in the car, so she didn"t know who it was. Yin Jiujin, who had seen the car, knew.
The car drove forward, and the two cars were side by side. Yin Jiujin rolled down the window, and the other party also rolled down the window.
A man in his forties was sitting in the driver"s seat. When he saw Yin Jiujin, he said respectfully, "Second Young Master."
"Since you"re here, why don"t you go in? Can"t you enter the main door of Mount Jing?" Yin Jiujin"s tone didn"t reveal his emotions.
"Old Master found out that Second Young Master is not back yet, so he waited here first."
