Chapter 322 I Can Give You My Life
After Shen Shuyi returned to the room, the shopkeeper brought Jiuchou's indenture contract to him shortly afterwards.
She asked the shopkeeper to prepare hot water and medicine, and asked Qinxin to go out and buy a few sets of suitable clothes to send to Jiuchou.
She didn't have to wait too long before someone knocked on the door.
What came into view was a tall and handsome young man, wearing a black brocade robe. His hair was half dry and messy, so it was cut much shorter, with some brown and yellow in the black.
The boy's face and body had been cleaned, but his three-dimensional face was still covered with scars, some of which had already scabbed over, while others were still cracked.
But even so, it is a world of difference from before.
Shen Shuyi looked at him carefully and felt that Jiuchou was really good-looking. Maybe it was because his mother was a Wu people, which made him particularly tall, with deep facial features and slightly curled eyelashes, which made him look particularly affectionate.
But overall, apart from the pair of dark green pupils, there is not much difference between him and the people of the Daqian Dynasty.
"Have you chosen the person?" Shen Shuyi asked.
Jiu Chou did not answer, but asked: "What was the dream you mentioned before?"
Shen Shuyi said: "I dreamed of you thousands of miles away. I dreamed that you followed me to open up new territories and protect Daqian. I also dreamed that you became my left and right arms, protecting me from worries."
Jiu Chou sneered: "Just based on such a dream?"
Shen Shuyi said softly: "Although it was a dream, you really exist, and I did find you, didn't I?"
Jiuchou was speechless for a long time. After all, he had never seen the girl in front of him before, and had never been to the capital.
"But I also have Wu nationality blood in me. How do you know that I would risk my life for the Daqian you mentioned?"
Shen Shuyi shook his head: "Neither Daqian nor Wuguo has ever treated you well, so I don't expect you to do anything for Daqian Dynasty, I just want you to do something for me."
"As for what you will do for me? It's your freedom. I think the answer will come in the future."
In the previous life, Jiu Chou was indeed like this.
He never worked for the Daqian Dynasty, but for himself.
Although the boy is tall, he is not rough. On the contrary, he is delicate and sensitive.
He had been hunted since he was a child, and later he was sold several times. He had experienced all the malice in this world.
He is different from Jiang Li. Jiang Li had experienced great prosperity and beauty, but also suffered deep betrayal and hurt. He also endured the grief of losing his entire family and being powerless to do anything. His hatred was fierce and strong, but also forbearing.
What Jiuchou experienced was the most despicable and cruel human nature in the marketplace and among princes and nobles, the abuse and harm they had to endure for their livelihood and their ignorance, and also their confusion and helplessness about the way of the world.
If you ask him to hate something, he won't even know who to hate.
But those tiny injuries eroded him like sunlight day after day, like waves washing over the beach again and again, grinding down the sand.
It was also because of this that in the previous life, after I rescued the stiff boy in the snow, the first thing he said when he opened his eyes and looked at me was: "What do you want? I can give you my life."
Perhaps it was because he had been hurt too many times, or perhaps he was desperate about this world, so that after experiencing a little warmth, he gambled with his life, gave up struggling as if he had nothing to lose, and was ready to bear all the malice in the world.
But what Jiuchou didn't expect was that this time, fate might finally have mercy on him.
The girl who saved him gave him the tenderness he had never experienced before, a companion he could trust with his life, and a goal and motivation to live...
Jiuchou looked at her in silence, not knowing what she was thinking.
Shen Shuyi did not urge him, but just lit the candle and burned Jiuchou's indenture.
Jiuchou watched the document turn to ashes, his Adam's apple moving slightly.
Then he heard the girl say: "If you don't want to stay with me, I will find someone to arrange a good citizen's identity for you, so that you can live a stable life in the capital."
Stable?
Haha, Jiuchou laughed at himself.
With these eyes, he has never been at peace...
Seeing through his thoughts, Shen Shuyi placed two medicine bottles on the table and said in a soft voice: "The pills in the green porcelain bottle can keep your eyes brown and black for a month, and the pills in the patterned porcelain bottle can restore them."
"If you have made up your mind, you can send someone to come to the Shen Mansion to find me, whether they will work for me or not."
After saying this, Shen Shuyi turned around and left with his men.
Jiu Chou in this life has not completely despaired of the world, so naturally he still has his concerns.
Shen Shuyi didn't want to force it, but she was still sincerely happy for him because she saw that he suffered less than in his previous life.
"Wait!" Jiuchou looked at the girl's back, his throat tightened, and he couldn't help but speak.
Shen Shuyi turned and looked at him.
Jiuchou's voice was a little hoarse, and there was still some confusion in his dark green eyes. He said slowly: "I can try."
Shen Shuyi smiled, her clear almond eyes curved: "Have you thought it through? It's not easy to get off my pirate ship."
Jiuchou was speechless, but couldn't help wondering, could someone really have a dream about him thousands of miles away? Or... was this another conspiracy to bring someone down?
But what else is there to gain from him?
Even if he was sold a few more times, the money might not be as much as the money the girl paid to the shopkeeper today.
"Yeah." Jiuchou responded softly, as if his body acted faster than his brain.
Shen Shuyi was really happy, and her eyes felt a little sore. She was happy that in this life, Jiuchou said to her "I can try", instead of "I can give you my life" as in the previous life.
I can give you my life, can you be nice to me?

Five days later, the first heavy snow of winter arrived.
Shen Shuyi also received Jiang Li's message at this time.
When Jiang Li tracked down Huang Ying's parents, he happened to encounter a group of killers who wanted to kill them. He rescued them and is now rushing back.
Shen Shuyi stood in the octagonal pavilion of the Shen Mansion, looking at the snow scene and thinking, Xiao Tingshan not only made a fake Lianqiao, but also wanted to kill people to silence them to prevent future troubles?
But this is in line with his style.
However, now that Jiang Li has rescued the person, it won’t be long before Xiao Tingshan will get the news...
After a moment, Shen Shuyi's pupils turned slightly cold, and he said in a cold voice: "Not good."
"Miss?" Yuping asked softly.
Shen Shuyi didn't bother to explain, and said in a deep voice: "Prepare the car, I want to go see Jiuchou."
"Yes."
Half an hour later, Shen Shuyi arrived at a three-courtyard house in the capital. In the courtyard, several men were practicing martial arts, and a handsome young man was sitting under the corridor, holding a dry branch in his mouth and resting his chin with one hand in a daze, as if he had nothing to do.
"The young lady is here." Someone saw Shen Shuyi and spoke politely.
Shen Shuyi nodded to him and then walked towards the inner room. When Jiuchou saw Shen Shuyi, he immediately stood up.
Shen Shuyi didn't waste any words and waved to him, and he followed him in immediately.
