Chapter 839 - 839: Indulgent
He was weak, but also revealed a powerful and forbearing side.
Was Yin Huaixi like this because he was angry?
“Who gave you the guts?” Yin Huaixi narrowed his eyes and interrupted her. The corners of his eyes turned red and became even more aggressive.
The repeated interrogation made Yu Yao panic. She simply closed her eyes and said softly, “Didn’t you give it to me?!”
As soon as she finished speaking, the room fell into a dead silence. Even her breathing fell into a strange silence.
The air immediately froze.
It was over, it was over! Yu Youyao was completely done for!
Even if that was what she was thinking, she shouldn’t have said it out loud!
Was she stupid?!
Yin Huaixi was in a fit of anger. Wasn’t this adding fuel to the fire?
Yu Youyao felt suffocated and shrank her neck. She stared at the tips of her toes and her lowered eyes. Her eyelashes kept trembling, revealing her broken mood.
Yin Huaixi’s efforts were wasted. The anger in his heart seemed to have been splashed with a basin of water and was completely extinguished. Sparks flew everywhere. He suddenly felt that it was funny and wanted to laugh, so he laughed.
However, that laugh was a little helpless. “So was I the one who asked you to risk your safety?”
Yu Youyao secretly raised her eyes and glanced at him quickly. Realizing that he was still staring at her, she quickly fled as if her eyes had been stung.
She lowered her head and took a deep breath. She gathered some courage and retorted softly, “How can this be a risk? It’s clearly just a formality. At most, it’s just a physical… experience.”
This time, Yin Huaixi was really so angry that he laughed. “You don’t know the background of this group of mountain bandits, but you dare to say that it’s a physical experience?”
Yu Youyao said righteously, “Aren’t they just a group of strong and capable refugees? In the eyes of the government, they’re indeed quite troublesome, but isn’t it easy for the You army? The only problem that needs to be resolved is whether the You army will be exposed and become a point of weakness to be attacked if they rashly send out troops!”
Everything that had happened since she had been kidnapped was going according to plan.
Seeing her nonchalant and smug expression, as if everything was within her control, Yin Huaixi’s anger rose again.
He kept telling himself, “Don’t be angry, don’t be angry. Don’t be angry with her!”
She had personally planned the suppression of the bandits. Every step was very meticulous. From the current development, she indeed had the right to be proud.
But!
“Is risking your own life your way of resolving your worries?!” Yin Huaixi asked in a low voice. The plan was quite good, but the premise was not to put herself in danger.
Yu Youyao glanced around guiltily, and the little bit of self-righteousness that was brewing in her heart instantly dissipated. “I’m fine, right? Besides, you’re here too!”
As soon as she felt guilty, she couldn’t help but tilt her head and reach out to pinch her earlobe, pretending to be innocent and soft.
Her invincible moves in the past did not work this time.
Yin Huaixi’s pupils were constricted. He held her arm and stared at her wrist. It was bruised and almost hurt his eyes.
His heart stopped and his throat rolled. “Is that what you meant when you said you were fine?”
Yu Youyao wanted to hide her hand behind her back, but she struggled and did not break free. She quickly looked around and said, “It’s— It’s just some superficial injuries. It just looks scary…”
Yin Huaixi looked at her and said nothing.
She had ugly makeup on her face, and her eyebrows were slightly furrowed. Her long eyebrows had been wiped off, and her delicate eyebrows were clearly defined. Her clothes were pressed against her brow bones and flowed into her temples, revealing the beauty of mountains and rivers.
Every eyebrow exuded tenacity, but they were like the moon. They were bright, but also seemed to emit a scorching light that shone brightly.
There were thousands of charms in the world, but they were all in her eyes.
No wonder the ancients said that the mountains and rivers were so delicate, attracting countless heroes to bow down.
The delicate and lazy little girl back then had unknowingly grown into a determined woman who was calm in the face of danger.
Yu Youyao’s heart was beating wildly under his gaze. Seeing that he had not said anything, she quickly looked up at him. Yin Huaixi’s fair face was hazy under the dim yellow firelight, making him look loving and gentle.
It was just like when she was young. She tugged at Yin Huaixi’s hand ingratiatingly and shook it twice. “Don’t be angry. The next time I encounter such a thing, I’ll definitely discuss it with you…”
There was a next time!! Yin Huaixi didn’t know if he should be angry or laugh. “Does it hurt?”
He was the one who had personally sent Yin San, Yin Shi, Huang Wenxian, and General An Yuan to her, giving her the guts of a bear and a leopard. She had always been smart and changeable. Now that she had huge power in her hands, she would learn to make good use of it.
Instead of blaming her, he might as well blame himself for being too indulgent towards her.
Yu Youyao immediately blinked and looked at Yin Huaixi pitifully, looking innocent and obedient. “Yes, a little.”
Yin Huaixi’s heart softened. He took off the cloak behind him and placed it on the ground. He pulled Yu Youyao to sit down and quickly took out the ointment he carried with him from his pouch. He squatted beside her and gently applied the ointment for her.
The skin on her wrist was broken by the rope. As soon as the ointment was applied, it hurt a little. Yu Youyao hissed and subconsciously wanted to retract her hand, but Yin Huaixi held it tightly.
After applying the medicine, the burning pain in her wrist eased a little.
Yin Huaixi took out a handkerchief and tore it in half. He bandaged her wrist properly. “Let’s bandage it briefly first. When we go down the mountain, we’ll find a doctor to take a closer look.”
Yu Youyao nodded and quickly asked, “By the way, didn’t you go to Dandong? Why are you suddenly here?”
Yin Huaixi took a deep breath. “How could Old Huang not inform me about such a big matter like suppressing bandits?” At this point, the anger in his heart seemed to have recovered. “When I received the news, I happened to turn around and go to Xiuyan. It wasn’t far from you, so I rushed over.”
Yu Youyao felt a little guilty again and became a timid little quail. “Liancheng has a thousand You army elites and Military Strategist Huang. This strategist, General An Yuan, is an old general who has been through hundreds of battles. How can it be your turn to take action against a few mountain bandits? You’re…” He was making a big fuss over a minor issue!
However, she did not dare to say the last sentence. Yin Huaixi naturally did not take a group of bandits seriously. What made him “make a fuss” was her taking a risk.
Yin Huaixi looked helpless. “This group of bandits fled from the west of Shanxi. There are 50,000 kilometers of mountains in the west of Shanxi, and bandits are rampant. In the past few years, they’ve suffered a drought, and many small bandit strongholds can’t make a living. They can only escape down the mountain and find other places to occupy the mountain as bandits. They’re all used to being bandits. As soon as they arrived in the north, they gathered a large number of refugees. Their methods are not something ordinary bandits can compare to. What if…”
