What a scary thing!

Chen Sheng admitted that she was only nineteen years old, full of youthful vigor, and at the perfect age to venture out into the world.

Faced with her beloved throwing herself into her arms, she... chose to run away.

"No, Your Highness, let's talk this out, don't be so direct!" Chen Sheng immediately perked up, jumping three meters away, covering her mouth and staring wide-eyed in disbelief.

"Can we find some medicine first...?"

Chen Sheng's momentum grew weaker and weaker. Suddenly, he remembered that he was the one who had just been clinging to the beauty and refusing to let go. He fell silent for a moment.

Xu You pursed her lips and gave Chen Sheng a cold look. "With you making such a mess here, how could we possibly find the antidote before the effects of the drug take hold?"

Chen Sheng lowered his "proud" head shyly, feeling like crying but having no tears.

Little did she know there was something wrong with the medicine; she just wanted to show Xu You some concern and win her favor!

How did it get like this?! It's so frustrating!

"Actually, there is another way to detoxify."

Upon hearing this, Chen Sheng looked at Xu You with teary eyes, but the other woman was already more than ten meters away from her and was gradually backing away.

Chen Sheng: ...It doesn't feel like anything good.

Xu You slowly said, "Tough it out."

It was a very convincing expression, as if to say, "I tried it, and it works."

Well, anyway, Chen Sheng believed it 100%.

She casually sat on the only stool in the room, crossed her legs, and propped her chin on one hand, imitating the famous sculpture "The Thinker" by a master named Rodin.

Like a salted fish that has been lying at home for half a month, without any goals to strive for.

Seeing Chen Sheng's silence, Xu You seemed to understand her meaning and turned to leave decisively.

With a "snap," the door locked.

Okay, as expected of the "white moonlight" (ideal figure), she even thoughtfully closed the door...

Chen Sheng's lips twitched involuntarily, and he truly understood the meaning of "it turns out that when a person is extremely speechless, they can laugh".

At first I didn't believe it, but now that I've experienced it firsthand, I have to believe it even if I don't want to.

The room was enclosed, with only a small window at the top for ventilation.

This is obviously not suitable for someone who has been given "Dragon Pride Happy Drug".

Time passed second by second, and Chen Sheng felt incredibly hot all over. An unnamed fire was burning inside her, making her internal organs itch. She was sweating profusely and had stripped down to only her undergarments.

The last layer of fabric is absolutely essential; it's a matter of dignity!

Looking at the wall opposite, Chen Sheng developed the envy unique to domineering CEOs, and had the urge to smash his head against it and die.

"Who hasn't watched some porn when they were young..."

Chen Sheng glanced at the wall, then at his own hands, and couldn't help but swallow.

No, this thing also has a name: dignity!

She was torn between her inner turmoil and her own mind, and she truly experienced what it meant to have a dry mouth and dizzy eyes.

The sound of a lock being opened came from the door. At that moment, Chen Sheng's senses seemed to be amplified a hundred times, and he quickly caught the movement at the door.

A pink figure came into view, and sure enough, it was Xu You, whom she had been longing for.

He was carrying a wooden bucket, his temples were already soaked with sweat, and his handsome face was flushed, like fine rouge mixed with water, spreading a thin layer of red. A drop of sweat slid down his neck to the depths of his collar, disappearing into a patch of white jade-like skin.

Whether it was the drugs or not, Chen Sheng subconsciously swallowed, feeling a strong urge to succumb to temptation.

Xu You was actually quite tall; Chen Sheng estimated he was over 1.8 meters. He had a good physique, and his hands... felt nice too. She liked to put her arms around his waist. Although he wasn't a muscular man with eight-pack abs, it was still somewhat obvious that he had worked out.

After all, this book is a female-dominated novel, so you can't make demands about it.

Well, she was tempted again. She put herself in Chen Han's shoes and looked at Xu You from his perspective, liking her more and more.

He is considerate and gentle, treats people with kindness and politeness, gets jealous and can be a little coquettish, and occasionally shows a bit of possessiveness, but he will never be rude or unreasonable...

Okay, she felt a little tempted again...

"Calm down."

A single sentence snapped Chen Sheng out of her reverie. She looked away from Xu You and glanced down at the wooden bucket in front of her.

A whole bucket of cold water... she could imagine how heavy it was.

She was so moved she cried. Her heart was broken; she was married, yet her partner would rather give her a bucket of cold water than offer her anything.

Chen Sheng: Waaaaa, my heart is broken...

Xu You looked at the pitiful Chen Sheng with a conflicted expression; his lips were almost bleeding from being bitten.

"Youyou, I'm going to catch a cold... I'll catch a chill, please help me, okay..."

Chen Sheng lay on the ground in a pretentious manner, sobbed twice, and wiped her tears with her sleeve, proving herself to be a master of feigning weakness.

Xu You took two steps back and mumbled a few words, "It still hurts a lot."

Upon hearing this, Chen Sheng felt his face burning with embarrassment and wanted to find a hole to crawl into and hide.

I've completely lost face!

She coughed twice, feigning composure: "I'll be gentle..."

She really didn't want to take a cold shower!

When it comes to her dignity, she cannot back down!

Xu You frowned and stood still.

"Yoyo~"

Chen Sheng mimicked the seductive look in her eyes, leaning against the wooden tub and breathing softly.

Xu You, a pure and unattainable ideal woman, blushed uncontrollably.

He gritted his teeth and agreed, shyly taking off his clothes, revealing a seductive allure that seemed to both refuse and welcome him.

The exposed skin gradually turned pink and was covered with a thin layer of sweat.

Chen Sheng recalled a line of poetry he had memorized: "The morning sun dries the overnight rain on the leaves, the water surface is clear and round, and the lotus leaves are lifted one by one by the wind."

In the dimly lit room, the person, as beautiful as jade, could not be seen in expression; only rustling sounds could be heard.

She felt her heart flutter a lot more today, but that didn't stop it from racing.

Chen Sheng suspected that if she continued to endure it, she would not only be harmed by the "happy pills," but would also die from her rapid heartbeat.

No more waiting! No more endurance! Chen Sheng bit Xu You's thin lips, but before she could apply any force, she inexplicably tasted a metallic flavor.

Chen Sheng: ?

Xu You turned her head and gasped for breath, managing to utter a single sentence, "Ugh... be gentle..."

Okay, she got excited.

————

Afterwards, thanks to the bucket of water Xu You brought, Chen Sheng helped Xu You clean up and also took a simple shower himself.

However, she was still puzzled. Judging from Xu You's behavior when he carried water, it seemed that no one had helped him along the way.

Why was it Xu You who brought it up? And who are the people from Changming Palace?!

Such a large palace couldn't possibly be empty, could it?

Could it be that the Queen and her entourage really took them all away? That shouldn't be the case...

Chen Sheng couldn't help but stroke Xu You's face, helping him relax his furrowed brows.

Even though I slept on a mat, it wasn't a comfortable environment; it was much more comfortable to sleep in the bed.

Chen Sheng shivered; indeed, it was still quite cold wearing only his undergarments.

She wanted to go back as soon as possible. She wasn't familiar with Changming Palace; she couldn't even find her bedroom.

Terrible! Absolutely must give a terrible review!
