Chapter 230 Checking into the Inn
The carriage swayed forward and soon arrived at the inn.
Along the way, Shen Li kept her head down, not daring to glance at Luo Chen. Whenever she thought of the embarrassing scene that made her blush, she felt her face burning and she felt extremely embarrassed.
She thought to herself: This matter can't just let go like this, I have to find a chance to explain it to him clearly, otherwise it will be so awkward for us to get along in the future. I only wanted to save him, I can't let him think too much.
Thinking of this, Shen Li took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down completely, then closed his eyes, concentrated his mind, and found the handkerchief from the mysterious space.
After doing all this, she slowly opened her eyes, mustered her courage, moved closer to Luo Chen, handed him the handkerchief, and said haltingly, "I'm giving it back to you. I... I saw that you were seriously ill, and I wanted to save you, so I gave you the potion. I couldn't open your mouth just now, so I really had no other choice, so... I..."
As she spoke, her voice became softer and softer, her face unconsciously flushed, and her eyes were full of embarrassment and shyness.
Luo Chen took the handkerchief she handed over with a puzzled look, held it in his hand and examined it carefully. He saw an exquisite word "cloud" embroidered on one corner of the handkerchief. The needlework was so delicate that it was obviously done by a skilled hand.
Seeing this word, Luo Chen couldn't help but feel puzzled: This handkerchief clearly belongs to Ling Yun, but when did Ling Yun get to know Shen Li?
Could it be that she saved him because of Ling Yun? The more he thought about it, the more puzzled he became, and his brows furrowed slightly.
So, Luo Chen couldn't suppress the doubts in his heart and asked, "We... I can't remember when I lost this handkerchief!" He stared at Shen Li, as if trying to find out something from her expression.
Shen Li blinked her eyes after hearing what he said, as if she was relieved, and quickly said: "It's okay if you don't remember it, anyway, I've returned it to you now!"
She thought that as long as she returned the handkerchief and distanced herself from the matter, the previous embarrassment might gradually fade away. But for some reason, she felt a little lost in her heart.
Luo Chen's doubts were tangled in his mind, and he was about to ask about the handkerchief when Chuchun's petite head poked in from behind the carriage curtain. A happy smile graced her face, and her clear, melodious voice, like a lark singing, instantly brightened his mood. "Miss, we've arrived at the inn! Finally, we can have a good night's rest!"
Shen Li was overjoyed when he heard this. His frown relaxed instantly. He immediately stood up impatiently and said anxiously, "Help me down!"
She only felt a burning pain on her back, as if it was burned by fire. She thought to herself that she had to go to the inn to find some ointment to apply on it, otherwise the pain would not go away for a while.
At this moment, Shen Yu deftly opened the carriage curtain. He first extended his hand to Shen Li and helped her steadily down the carriage. Then he turned to look at Luo Chen with a gentle smile on his face and asked politely, "Master Luo, you look quite weak. Do you need my help?"
Luo Chen gritted his teeth, pretended to struggle to stand up with his weak body, bowed to Shen Yu, and said in a weak but still polite voice: "Thank you!" After that, he took Shen Yu's hand and slowly got off the carriage.
After tidying up a bit, everyone headed towards the inn. The inn was bustling with people coming and going, and the waiters were busy greeting guests.
As a guard, Zhao Lin naturally paid attention to everything. He went to the front desk quickly and completed the check-in procedures neatly.
Considering the convenience of taking care of the guests and being able to monitor the surrounding situation at any time, he specially opened four adjacent rooms. After everyone got their room cards, they walked towards their respective rooms, hoping to rest well this night and relieve the fatigue of the journey.
