Chapter 197 No Sorry

Shen Sangning was very strong, but she didn't dare to use too much force. Even so, after just a few pulls, she heard Lin Xi's voice: "Slow down, slow down! Ningning, slow down! I'm stuck!" Shen Sangning could only suppress the anxious mood in her heart and pull Lin Xi out more slowly and gently.

This time it was a little better. Lin Xi was pulled out most of the time. Her upper body was already out, but her lower body was still stuck in the book, which was a bit embarrassing.

Lin Xi leaned out his upper body and greeted Shen Sangning in front of him: "Hey Ningning... This time it seems to be the butt, the butt is stuck down there, let's go a little slower this time."

This scene is quite funny. Even if a book is unfolded, it is not very big. As an adult, Lin Xi's waist must be bigger than the book, but the upper half is already exposed, and the lower half is still stuck in a circle of halo and the book.

Shen Sangning didn't say anything, bit her lower lip, and cooperated with Lin Xi to pull Lin Xi out.

It took quite a while from the moment she stretched out her hand to the moment she pulled herself out. Lin Xi even broke into a sweat from the anxiety of being stuck in the middle of the book. Lin Xi finally escaped from the book, but before she could utter a word, she was immediately embraced by Shen Sang Ning.

Shen Sangning's grip was tight. She must have been holding back a bit, otherwise, given how she usually handled those ghosts, Lin Xi had no doubt her waist would have been broken. Even though she was holding back a bit, it was still quite a bit for Lin Xi, and she could feel a slight pain in her waist.

But this time it was Lin Xi who frightened her. Lin Xi knew it well but did not cry out. She just reached out and hugged him back.

"right……"

"sorry."

Before Lin Xi could even utter the word "I'm sorry," she heard what Shen Sangning said. Lin Xi even smiled and rested her head on Shen Sangning's shoulder. Her voice was exceptionally gentle, "I'm not sorry. Ningning isn't sorry. Ningning was clearly trying so hard to hold onto me. It was only by accident that I walked in."

It wasn't actually Lin Xi's fault for being careless. The librarian, Xia Cui, had insisted on dropping the book at her feet. Unless Lin Xi could fly over it, she would definitely be caught. This was a trap set against her, so why did she need to apologize to Shen Sangning?

However, Shen Sangning was still full of apologies, and Lin Xi knew why she said that. Shen Sangning must have been thinking: I was right next to him, but I still couldn't stop him, putting Lin Xi in danger...

This is not Shen Sangning's fault. Shen Sangning is not Lin Xi's conjoined twin. Xia Cui obviously had it all planned out. She just needed to block her for a while.

"Besides, I'm fine, right? Look, I came out fine. It's okay, Ningning."

The two of them separated a little, Shen Sangning raised her head and looked into Lin Xi's eyes. After confirming that Lin Xi was okay, she breathed a sigh of relief, and then she leaned over and kissed Lin Xi on the lips.

At first, Lin Xi was quite enjoying it, and she also wanted to kiss Shen Sangning. But after a while, Lin Xi suddenly remembered that Big Eyes wasn't in solitary confinement. She wanted to remind Shen Sangning, but Shen Sangning had kissed her so much that she soon lost interest in Big Eyes.

Oops, the audience saw it after all. I’m so angry.

Lin Xi thought so in her heart, but she had no idea how excited the fans of the couple were. Especially when He Sitong was wrapped like a mummy in the hospital. He Sitong was about to hit the bed again, and the person in charge said coldly: "If you hit the bed again, I will tie your hands. Don't you know how serious your hand injury is?"

"But my partner kissed!"

"This isn't the first time you two have kissed. They've both turned off the lights several times. Don't you know that?"☆

"That's different! They didn't cover me up this time!" He Sitong said, then remembered something: "Take a screenshot for me! Take a screenshot for me! And save the video too. I want to polish this scene!"

He Sitong's thoughts mirror those of many of their CP fans. They're thinking: Lin Xi, you've come to this day! This video must be saved! This is seriously giving out sweets! It's just hard for the family, because they didn't get to enjoy it.

After kissing for a while and confirming that Lin Xi was indeed fine, Shen Sangning finally calmed down. She pressed Lin Xi's shoulders and asked, "What happened after Lin Xi went in? How did you get out?"

Lin Xi briefly recounted the incident, only mentioning the illusion and skipping the part where he assaulted someone. Upon hearing that the book ghost had also created its own illusion, Shen Sangning's eyes glared fiercely, and she immediately cut the book in half. Lin Xi also felt relieved. This lousy book ghost was constantly causing trouble, and he deserved to be cut into pieces.

Then the book ghost was pressed into a ball again and entered Shen Sangning's stomach.

Lin Xi couldn't help but yawn. After so many fights, it was still very tiring. Even if the other party was beaten unilaterally, Lin Xi felt exhausted all over. Shen Sang Ning also advised Lin Xi to rest for a while: "You have been in there for a day."

Lin Xi was a little surprised when she heard the answer: "It's been a day?"

It wasn't that she couldn't believe it, it was that it did sound a bit far-fetched. Although Lin Xi felt very tired, she felt that not much time had actually passed. It seemed that a completely dark space did affect one's perception of time, causing Lin Xi to mistakenly believe that only a few hours had passed.

Lin Xi yawned again and rubbed against Shen Sangning's arms: "Ningning, take me home. I'm so tired. I don't want to move."

Facing Lin Xi's coquettish behavior, Shen Sangning had only one answer, which was: "Okay." She picked up Lin Xi and carried her on her back. She slowly landed on the ground from her floating state, touched the ground with her toes, and then landed lightly.

Lin Xi leaned against her back, arms stretched out in front of her, clasped in front of her collarbone. It wasn't long before Lin Xi fell into a deep sleep, her head resting on her shoulder. Lin Xi was truly exhausted. Although it didn't feel like much time had passed, her body still couldn't take it.

Shen Sangning felt a little distressed and just wanted to take Lin Xi home quickly.

Just as she was about to go out, she heard Xia Cui's voice behind her: "I'm really surprised that she can actually come out of the book by herself."

Shen Sangning turned slightly and saw Xia Cui standing there, holding a book. The book looked familiar, very similar to the one she had just shredded and trapped Lin Xi. Shen Sangning's eyes darkened, but she said nothing.

At this time, all the comments were:

[Huh? Who is this? What new character has appeared?]

[She probably appeared after Lin Xi entered the book. She seemed to have said something to Ning Ning.]

[I was wondering why Ningning, with her emotional stability, would mess up the room for no reason. Turns out the boss is out to draw aggro!]

[Is this the librarian, Xia Cui? The book in her hand... Tsk, it seems like there are a lot of these books?]

Xia Cui looked at Chen Sang Ning indifferently.

But he didn't care and continued to talk to himself: "This book has trapped many anchors, right? I'm not as kind as other dungeon builders. These anchors will be trapped after entering the world of the book. Humans are very fragile. In two or three days, they may die from lack of water, food, and sleep. It's useless to drink the water in the world of the book, because it's all an illusion and can't quench thirst at all."

"I clearly gave Lin Xi a good way to die. As long as she chooses you in that world, she can die without pain. There's no need to come out for that."

Shen Sangning's eyes moved. Just now, Lin Xi said that she had a fantasy but didn't say the specific content. But now, she roughly guessed what kind of world the book was. Either it was extremely happy, and she could live happily with her living self; or it was an extremely painful world, so painful that people couldn't get rid of it... According to Xia Cui, the former possibility might be greater.

This method was feasible for anyone, including Shen Sangning herself. If she stayed in an illusionary world, with her living self and the living Lin Xi together, she couldn't guarantee that she would be able to immediately discover the problem and escape from that illusion.

No matter who you are, you have a fatal weakness.

But Lin Xi couldn't do that. She was too clear-headed. Even if he was really by her side, even if she wanted to kiss him so badly, she would give up the idea because of her naive state. Lin Xi had her own bottom line and saw the world clearly.

So as long as she was told that she was fake, she would not stay for even a second. Shen Sangning was very proud of this.

So she opened her mouth: "False happiness has no value to Lin Xi." She was the kind of person who would rather sink into hell with Shen Sangning than live happily with a fake lover in a fake paradise.

Well... maybe Lin Xi will beat up that fake guy.

Shen Sangning still knows Lin Xi quite well.

"I'll let you go today, but you'd better wipe your neck clean and wait for me." After Chen Sangning finished threatening, she carried Lin Xi out the door.

Xia Cui, who was thrown behind her, had no expression on her face. Shen Sangning's threats were useless to her because they had fought before. Shen Sangning could not do anything to her, just like she could not do anything to Shen Sangning.

Chen Sangning carried Lin Xi to the bus platform. She didn't sit on the platform seat, but waited with her on her back. After a long time, the No. 4 bus slowly stopped at the platform. Chen Sangning waited for the doors to open before getting on. She bent down carefully as she stepped through the door, fearing Lin Xi's head would hit the door frame.

After getting on the bus, Shen Sangning did not find a seat to sit down, but stood on the bus with Lin Xi on her back, holding her wristband.

The driver glanced back at Chen Sangning and said cautiously, "Um...should we find a seat to sit down?" But he received a sharp look from Chen Sangning. He could only turn around and start the car with grievance. Then the bus honked and asked people to sit down.

Not only did Chen Sangning turn a deaf ear, he glared at the driver, asking him to turn down the volume. The driver, feeling uneasy, could only press a button to mute the notification. Veins throbbed on his forehead and on the backs of his hands, as the rules and the threat of death tore through his mind.

The driver had no choice but to drive for a while, stop for a while, and then drive again after the urge in his heart subsided. Therefore, this time he drove very slowly and arrived at the community after more than two hours.

But Shen Sangning didn't care, as long as Lin Xi didn't wake up.
