Things you should not touch

he familiar mantra.The Classic of the Treasures of Fengdu.With sincere heart, I prostrate myself in homage... Great Compassion, Great Mercy, Great Saint, Great Compassionate One, Xuanqing the Great Em...There was a hint of bewilderment in his eyes, so fleeting that I might have missed it if not for how close we were.

"...Hurt" He looked at the pitiful little strawberry, his eyebrows slightly furrowed.

Isn't this ridiculous... My face feels like it's on fire.

Seeing that I remained silent, he too rose without a word. His expression seemed...regretful.

What are you upset about Did he really fall asleep

Didn't he say it didn't matter whether he slept or not I thought he didn't need to sleep.

If he falls asleep accidentally, I shouldn't blame him. The fact that he can sleep beside me at least shows that he trusts me.

"It's okay, it...it doesn't hurt." I said insincerely.

It doesn't hurt, but it itches.

When I put on my bra, I felt very uncomfortable. It was already November, so I secretly decided not to wear a bra. I put on a soft cashmere sweater, a scarf, and then a windbreaker. That's how I sneakily went to school.

This outfit works for hiding things from others, but Song Wei, that old driver, slapped me on the back to greet me. Then he looked at his hand and asked, “Are you hollow”

"Shh!!" I really wanted to kneel down to her!

She twitched her lips and whispered, "What's wrong with you Did your underwear get smaller again Qiaoqiao, are you pregnant"

I was startled and looked at her in terror, my heart pounding as I stammered, "What are you talking about..."

My cousin is pregnant now, her breasts are developing again, I accompanied her to buy maternity bras this weekend... Hey, let me tell you a secret, she has started producing breast milk. Apparently, towards the later stages of pregnancy, there will be a little bit of baby food secreted. This is the first time I've heard about it! " Song Wei said excitedly.

"...You, you womanizer, what are you paying attention to these things for" I distanced myself from her speechless.

Her eyes sparkled as she said, "Since there's still room to grow, I don't have to think about getting breast implants. I just want to be a little bigger, a C cup is enough! You look so tired from carrying all that around. You dress so conservatively and plain. You can't even project an air of elegance. Look at how tightly you bundle yourself up!"

"Yes, yes, yes…" I dodged her attacking hand, but my movement was too big and I bumped into the person behind me. I quickly turned back to apologize, and it turned out to be Guo Wenli.

Lily took the initiative to greet me, saying, "Xiao Qiao, hello! Your clothes look really nice today."

I glanced at Song Wei. Do you think my clothes look okay They're a bit country-style, aren't they

Song Wei immediately chimed in: "Lily, are you dating someone recently Your skin looks so good!"

Li Li's face immediately broke into an unrestrained smile: "Well, I got a boyfriend..."

"Come on, you're so picky, who caught your eye"

"Well, he's a relative of Xiao Qiao's." Lily smiled at me, as if she already considered me family.

Her complexion was slightly pale, as she liked to wear makeup. I couldn't tell her true skin tone or if there were any dark circles under her eyes, but from her words and actions, I could sense that she seemed normal and hadn't been drained of her vitality.

She was completely subdued by Mu Yunliang's charm. Seeing her so content, it's hard for me to imagine what her reaction would be if she knew Mu Yunliang was a walking corpse in human skin.

Actually, I don't have the right to worry about her. After all, isn't the one I fell in love with also an outsider

After Lili left, Song Wei immediately gossiped to me: "Is her boyfriend a relative of yours Which one You really have good taste! Lili comes from a wealthy family. She's a second-generation official! Her father is the deputy mayor!"

The deputy mayor I have a vague sense of unease. That person wearing Mu Yunliang's skin, isn't he plotting something else

In our circle, we have little to do with most ordinary families. However, the more influential and powerful people are, the more they believe in yin-yang metaphysics. The reason why people in this circle keep a low profile is that most of their clients need to conceal secrets.

Mu Yunliang told Lily that he came from an old family of traditional Chinese medicine. This wasn't exactly a lie; his parents did work in the field of traditional Chinese medicine, but they weren't a renowned family. They specialized in treating ailments related to Yin energy and ghosts, similar to Old Wu's pharmacy.

But what Mu Yunliang said about a beautiful woman having three treasures on her body, her mouth, chest, and lower body... the water she emits being the three essences, seems to me like some brainwashing evil sorcery.

It's a good thing Lily believed it, I reckon she took this as a bit of bedroom spice.

When Jiang Qiyun heard my question, he shook his head and said, "Yin and yang emphasize harmony. This statement has some truth to it, but it has been misinterpreted by those who stray from the path... Don't believe it."

"Of course I don't believe it! I just feel that Mu Yunliang went to Lily for a purpose, and it's not as simple as getting close to me. Lily's father is the deputy mayor, and someone with power can make things easier for Mu Yunliang." I felt a twinge of worry in my heart.

Jiang Qiyun coldly looked at me: “You need to be wary of this Lily, she can no longer be treated as an ordinary person. That day she posted on her circle of friends saying that she was waiting for her boyfriend for supper, but Mu Yunliang didn't go at all, instead he came to kidnap you. Perhaps the person who scratched your brother’s car was also arranged by Mu Yunliang. All this is premeditated.”

I bit my lip, thinking about this, and I felt really helpless.

"Qi Yun..." I called out softly, his eyes darkened, and he looked straight at me.

"I... I want to ask you, don't you have any feelings for this child at all You... can you really bear to let a fully formed child sacrifice" I couldn't help but speak.

Even if he gets angry, I'm going to stand my ground and ask for clarification.

There was no unexpected anger, he just looked at me coldly.

There's a sense of despair in me, is this issue truly something we can't discuss between us

But today I want to ask again, what is his attitude toward me now I have a vague feeling that it's different from the beginning. Maybe... I foolishly said to myself, maybe he will have a little bit of sympathy.

“If I still have time and the means, I wouldn't want to sacrifice mortals.” His voice was cold and detached: “Mu Xia Qiao, think about what you’ve encountered. If there’s a chance in the future… you personally see the sight of Huang Dao Village, perhaps you’ll also be able to harden your heart.”

I remained silent for a long time. Finally, I broke the silence with a smile: "You're right. I can't disobey you... But I just feel that a life, born from both parents' love and effort, deserves a fairer future."

When I turned around to wipe away my tears, Jiang Qiyun grabbed me: "If you want children, you can have them again in the future—"

"Jiang Qiyun, no woman would randomly want a child, especially at my age... A desire for children stems from love for them, a father's love. You don't understand." paper figure is used to "connect with yin".Besides, a red thin cord was tied around my hair. It seemed like it was intended to bind my soul.Jiang Qiyun dragged the paper figure over little by little:...
