Chapter 97: First Kiss Under the Umbrella

The night was as noisy as the day, and Yunzhou City woke up.

People stood on the streets holding lanterns, waiting for the rain of hope.

I don't know who said it.

"The goddess is in the square!"

Countless people flocked to the scene, and countless people gathered around Shen Tingyu, including men, women, old and young.

The people spontaneously cleared a space near her, like the boundary between Chu and Han, clearly divided.

Although the people surrounding them were the same as yesterday, the expressions on their faces were different: hope, watching a play, faith, scrutiny, worship, suspicion...

Therefore, she and the tyrant were both consistent and inconsistent in being surrounded at the city gate.

It was quiet all around, very quiet, and all the people were looking at her.

Shen Tingyu felt like he was riding a tiger and couldn’t get off.

"Daddy, it's dark. What are we waiting for? I'm so sleepy... I want to go back to sleep."

A tender child's voice was heard, accompanied by a faint yawn.

Perhaps the children's words hit the mark of their inner thoughts.

"Yes, how long do we have to wait? If I had known, I would have put on an extra layer of clothes. It's very cold tonight."

"Ahem... When will the goddess start sending down the sweet rain? I feel so uncomfortable."

"Shh, don't talk. I believe in the goddess. She will definitely not deceive you."

The people's whispers slipped into her ears.

Shen Tingyu couldn't imagine what the consequences would be if she failed to make the rain fall successfully.

Perhaps it will end up like the day I faced the tyrant—

die!

Today she still had the tyrant as her companion and was not alone, but the tyrant's situation that day was more critical than hers.

How suffocated and desperate he must have felt at that time.

The invisible pressure squeezed her heart, Shen Tingyu's eyes turned black and she was about to fall down.

Xin Hongying had been keeping an eye on her. He took a step forward and caught her steadily with his arms.

He grabbed her shoulders with both hands, hugged her in his arms, and asked with concern.

"Are you okay?"

Looking at the tyrant in front of him, Shen Tingyu’s dark eyes were no longer dark, and Ji Sheng’s heart was filled with worry.

Tyrant = Quest Target = Points!

\()/

All the points she earned were because she corrected the plot of the original book and changed the direction of the plot.

It was like I suddenly got it.

Shen Tingyu excitedly held his big, bony hand, his eyes shining: "Your Majesty, I suddenly remembered something?"

"What?" Xin Hongying was puzzled.

Shen Tingyu said slowly: "Haven't you been unable to find out who Concubine Yu's lover is?"

With the halo of the protagonist, it was impossible for the tyrant to find out easily. As for why she knew it, she never said it.

Of course, because she is a CP fan of both of them.

Has anyone ever seen a CP fan breaking up his own CP?

Especially... she also wanted to know whether the CP she was supporting was real.

Xin Mingzhe has no strong personal abilities and is a complete fool, with only a reputation for being a virtuous person.

It was a comparison with the tyrant, so he posed no threat and she never mentioned him.

But right now, she is very short of points, so... there is no other way.

"Why are you bringing this up suddenly?" Xin Hongying thought of betrayal and was unwilling to mention it.

"Because her lover is your biological brother...Xin Mingzhe, be careful of your brother."

Shen Tingyu said to the tyrant silently in his heart: I'm sorry, I let you know about the betrayal of life again!

Xin Hongying's pupils shrank, and the big hand holding her shoulder exerted a little force, "What you said... is true?!"

Ding!

Hearing the system's prompt tone, although her shoulder hurt, Shen Tingyu felt relieved and nodded.

[The plot correction degree is 2%, and you get 20 points! The total plot correction degree is 27%]

What a big melon! Only 20 points, not enough.

Shen Tingyu panicked.

Isn’t the original novel just a melodramatic and exciting romance novel?

Other plots are difficult to change, but isn’t the plot related to emotions not easy?

Thinking of what she was about to do, a peach blush appeared on Shen Tingyu's face, and she pursed her lips nervously.

"His Majesty."

Her voice was very soft, and she said "Your Majesty" as if she was acting coquettishly.

Xin Hongying was quite shocked and did not notice her slightly nervous and strange expression.

It’s true!

The gray fog that had been shrouding his mind dissipated, and he felt a sense of relief, as if the clouds had cleared and the moon was visible.

The oil-paper umbrella in his hand was snatched away and opened. Xin Hongying came back to his senses and lowered his head.

Shen Tingyu quickly opened the oil-paper umbrella, which was not a big umbrella.

It blocked the view of everyone except them, carving out a small space that belonged to them.

Her crow-feather eyelashes trembled slightly, and she mustered up her courage, pressed her palm against the tyrant's neck, and stared into his cold brows with her slender eyes.

Her eyelids suddenly drooped, sweeping across his delicate features and stopping on his lips.

Before Xin Hongying was stunned and could push her away, she closed her eyes and shyly kissed his warm lips.

The blush gradually spread across her cheeks, making them feel slightly hot.

Boom!

Xin Hongying's mind was blank, and she stared blankly with her eyes wide open like a fool.

A pure, gentle, simple kiss, like a dragonfly touching the water.

His eyes were open, and deep love was surging in them, as if a raging fire was burning in them, restrained yet crazy.

[Ding! Plot correction rate is 25%, earning 250 points! Total plot correction rate is 52%]

My points actually went up by 250 points! That's amazing! I don't have to buy on credit anymore.

Xiaoqi, use it quickly!

[Host, good~, used]

Shen Tingyu opened her eyes, but was startled by the burning and crazy love in the tyrant's eyes.

Xin Hongying's voice was hoarse, and her eyes followed: "Why did you suddenly... kiss me?"

In Shen Tingyu's heart, even though he was hurt by Concubine Yu, the tyrant's favorite person has always been Concubine Yu.

So this one look shocked her so much that she forgot all the words she had prepared in her mind countless times, and pretended to be carefree after the kiss.

Shen Tingyu's eyes began to dodge, "I..."

She murmured in annoyance, her heart pounding, and she pushed him away helplessly.

The umbrella in my hand feels like a hot potato.

I slipped out from under the umbrella like a fish to temporarily escape the embarrassment of this explanation.

Shen Tingyu stood in the encirclement, pretending to pray for rain.

Her mind suddenly skipped a beat and she started doing the only radio gymnastics she knew, but she was already so embarrassed that her toes were tapping the ground.

"What is she doing?"

"What a strange prayer dance, I've never seen it before."

"Can she save us? Is she lying to us? Where's the promised rain?"

“…”

The oil-paper umbrella fell to the ground like a lost object.

Da! Da! Snap!

The drizzle hit the umbrella.

A drizzle began to fall from the dark sky, and the rain got heavier and heavier.

"Oh my god! It's really raining in Yunzhou City!"

"This rain is actually warm, not cold at all, so magical..."

"It's the holy water! Wuwuwu... We are saved."

In an instant, the first ray of sunlight shone on the earth, and the sky became slightly brighter.

Yunzhou City finally has hope!

The rain felt warm on his body, and Xin Hongying stood there, soaked like a drowned chicken.

The body is cleansed and the whole person becomes relaxed.

He pursed his lips, feeling the remaining softness on them, and looked at her with sharp eyes.

Like quietly but firmly asking her why?
