Chapter 112 Saving You Can Save Me
"Ah Cheng..."
The man's voice was hoarse and trembling, his breathing was disordered, and his palm was pressed tightly against her slender wrist, "Don't go."
How could he let others see him in this state?
Su Cheng's body was stiff, as if he was frightened. "Why are you like this? Did someone trick you?"
He was indeed tricked by someone else, but the culprit was right in front of him.
"I won't touch you, don't leave me." Xie Jinyu slowly let go of her hand, staggered to the bed, reached into Su Cheng's bag, and took out a pair of long-handled scissors. In a panic, her little finger accidentally hooked the bellyband strap and pulled out the peony bellyband inside.
Seeing the blooming peony, Xie Jinyu's eyes flashed, as if she could see the peony blooming on the mountain through her bellyband.
Not knowing what she was thinking about, Xie Jinyu's face turned even redder. She quickly put down her bellyband, tightly gripped the scissors in her hand, and pretended to stab her thigh.
"What are you doing!" Su Cheng was startled and rushed to him. He grabbed the handle of the scissors just as they were about to pierce his skin, a look of panic flashing across his face. "Are you crazy?"
Xie Jinyu looked down at her, his neck and earlobes covered in a thin layer of red. He gripped the scissors tightly, refusing to let go. "I won't do anything you don't want to do. Pain can make people sober. This is the only way to save you, and save me too."
Su Cheng cursed him inwardly as a lunatic, and with strength from nowhere, he pushed him down on the bed.
"Ah... Ah Cheng?" Xie Jinyu raised her eyes in panic, looking at the woman standing by the bed, looking down at her. Her face was red as if it was about to bleed. "You..."
The heat in his body made him extremely thirsty, and he could not even see the person in front of him clearly.
Without waiting for him to speak, Su Cheng snatched the scissors from his hand, threw them aside, took the teapot on the table, and pulled him up roughly.
The tea, which had long been cold, helped Xie Jinyu regain some clarity of mind, but it was only for a moment. All the heat and dryness gathered in one place, making her feel even more uncomfortable than before.
"Acheng... give me the scissors." Xie Jinyu looked up at her with a dazed look in his eyes. He had just drunk some water and there were still drops of water on his thin lips. After being pushed by Su Cheng, his clothes on his chest were disheveled, revealing his porcelain-white collarbone.
He was born with a good appearance, and now that he was aroused, he was even more attractive, with a bit of inexplicable charm.
Su Cheng's fingertips trembled, and the teapot slipped out of his hand and rolled on the ground.
She almost collapsed. There was a beautiful jade in front of her, but she could only look at it and not touch it. Anyone would be so angry that they would slap their thighs.
In her original world, she had been encouraged by her friends to order one or two good-looking male models, but they only sang songs and played drinking games, and never crossed the bottom line.
But the person lying in front of him now was Xie Jinyu, the most handsome of the three sons of the Xie family.
Seeing that she remained silent, Xie Jinyu gently bit the corner of her mouth and a tear fell from the corner of her eye.
Su Cheng couldn't bear to see the beauty cry, so he closed his eyes and made up his mind. He raised his hand to unbutton his jacket, revealing his fair and tender shoulders.
Xie Jinyu saw her movements, her breath caught in her throat, her fingers curled up, tightly gripping the quilt beneath her, "Ah Cheng, I don't want to force you..."
"Shut up! I forced you." Su Cheng's face flushed, her earlobes were red, and her cheeks were as hot as fire.
Clothes were scattered on the ground. Su Cheng pulled down the bed curtain. Two figures were entangled on the bed, inseparable.
"Ah Cheng..."
"This time doesn't count, let's try again."
"Acheng, I like you."
After an unknown amount of time, the person behind the curtain suddenly stretched out a hand and waved it twice in the air, as if trying to grab the clothes on the ground.
The next moment, a big hand pressed against her arm and grabbed the small hand back without saying a word.
"Xie Jinyu, I'll give you a pair of scissors, stop bothering me!"
After he finished speaking, the man's happy chuckle came from behind the bed curtain, and he whispered, "It's too late."
[The male protagonist Xie Jinyu's favorability value has soared. Congratulations to the host for getting a chance to draw a blind box.]
"Get lost." Su Cheng lay on the bed, feeling weak and pale. "How dare you mention this stupid blind box to me?"
If it weren’t for the blind box last time, how could she have fallen to this point?
There were blood stains on the bedding. Xie Jinyu knew she was in the wrong, so she picked up the quilt and went outside to wash it.
[Host, think positively. A beauty like Xie Jinyu would be a waste if you don't sleep with her...]
"Shut up!" Su Cheng was annoyed and wanted to pull this damn system out of his mind and beat it up.
[…Host, if you don’t draw the blind box, this opportunity will be wasted.]
Three more boxes appeared in the air, as if trying to seduce Su Cheng.
Su Cheng pursed his lips and casually clicked on the box on the far right, without any expectation at all.
[Congratulations to the host, you have won a property in Beijing.]
Su Cheng was stunned, her pupils suddenly constricted. Before she could react, two paper deeds appeared in her hands.
"The third one from the front of Tinggu Lane in East City..." Su Cheng's hands trembled with excitement as he held the paper deed, a look of amazement flashing in his eyes. "But I come from a humble background, and suddenly I have an extra house. Who can believe it?"
Most likely they will think of themselves as monsters.
[Host, rest assured, I will take care of the rewards once they are distributed.]
Hearing this, Su Cheng finally breathed a sigh of relief. He held up the paper contract and looked at it again and again, with the corners of his mouth raised never lowering.
"Miss, have you rested?"
Qing Shuang's voice came from outside the door. Su Cheng quickly put away the paper contract, supported himself with his arms and stood up. He endured the pain in his body and said loudly, "Not yet. Come in and talk."
The door was pushed open from the outside, and Qing Shuang walked in with her head lowered, her footsteps very light. "Miss, the master of the family sent a letter saying that he has arrived in the capital and will be home before sunset."
"Back?" Su Cheng raised an eyebrow, with a hint of interest in his eyes. "Go out and buy some things for me. Move secretly so no one sees you."
"I've seen you twice, and your heels haven't touched the ground. You must have some skills, right?" Su Cheng glanced at her with a smile on his lips. "The Zhao family's branch is suspicious of me and will definitely keep a close eye on Li Xiangyuan. When you go out, be sure to always keep an eye out for anyone following you."
Qing Shuang was stunned for a moment, with a look of surprise in her eyes, but she quickly came to her senses and lowered her head in response, "Yes, I obey your command."

"Sir, Steward Liu sent a letter saying that Su Cheng has arrived at the Zhao residence." Shao Dong poured a cup of tea for the man on the couch and spoke softly, "Sir, your predictions are as accurate as a god. This Su Cheng is indeed not a simple person. He fought back and forth with the people from the first and third houses, and made them very angry."
"Heh." Zhao Hu snorted and laughed, his eyes flashing with coldness. He picked up the cup beside him and took a sip of tea. "What I want is not as simple as just pissing them off."
Shao Dong only dared to sit halfway on the couch, using a palm-sized hammer to crack walnuts for him. Hearing this, he raised his eyes and said tentatively, "My lord, do you want to..."
Zhao Hu closed his eyes and spoke softly, "Su Cheng wants me to be a stepping stone and use me to find out about her uncle's background. Go and tell her that I only give her half a month, and within half a month, she must take back the household expenses from the Qian family."
"If she can't do it, she can't afford the price."
