Chapter 142 Belongs Only to Me
"Strange thing, where did Xie Xiucai go?"
Sun Po looked around anxiously, fearing that something had happened to Xie Suzhou. "Didn't you say you were going to have a small get-together with your classmates? Why hasn't he come back yet?"
"What's the point of getting anxious? If we still haven't seen him in a quarter of an hour, we'll go out and look for him." An Zhicheng was also very worried. Just when he didn't know what to do, he suddenly caught a glimpse of two figures, one tall and one short. "Brother Sun, it's Mr. Xie! Mr. Xie is back!"
Sun Po hurried over to meet him, only to see a short man beside him. "Xie Xiucai, is this...my sister-in-law?"
Seeing the man's appearance, Sun Po's eyes flashed with shock, and he whispered, "Sister-in-law, why are you dressed like this?"
Su Cheng lowered her eyebrows and smiled slightly. Even in her servant costume, she looked pretty enough. "It's inconvenient to wear a long skirt when going out to do something. Why is Brother Sun standing outside?"
"I made an appointment with Mr. Xie, but he hasn't returned yet. I was worried, so I came out to wait for him." Sun Po was dazzled by her smile and said a little embarrassedly, "The provincial examination is over, and we should take Mr. Xie back to report."
Xie Suzhou's eyes darkened slightly. He caught a glimpse of the profile of the person next to him, and a flicker of resentment flashed in his eyes. He said in a deep voice, "Are you leaving now?"
Sun Po was startled, his eyes wandering between the two of them, and he chuckled dryly, "It's not that urgent."
Su Cheng gently pushed Xie Suzhou and said in a scolding tone, "Go back and report first. It's not like we won't see each other again in the future."
Xie Suzhou lowered his eyes, his thin lips tightened into a line, he looked back every few steps, and walked to Sun Po very reluctantly.
Sun Po scratched his head awkwardly and bowed to Su Cheng to say goodbye.
Xie Suzhou slowly got on the carriage, gently lifted the curtain, and his reluctant eyes fell on the petite figure not far away.
Su Cheng waved to the people in the car and smiled brightly, "Go home and wait for me."
Sun Po clamped his legs around the horse's belly and said in a deep voice, "Sister-in-law, let's meet in Xinghua Village."
"Set off!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the wheels started to turn slowly. Xie Suzhou lowered his eyes with a complicated expression, and a wave of sadness welled up in his heart.
She never lacks someone to accompany her.
Jinyu can do it, A Ming can do it, but I am the only one who can't be with her.
"We still have to hurry..." Xie Suzhou lowered his eyes, hiding the possessive desire that was about to overflow from his eyes, and whispered softly, "As long as I climb high enough, I will be able to hide Ah Cheng so that no one can find her."
"This way, it belongs only to me."
Xie Suzhou's hands on his knees gradually tightened, his handsome face became as gloomy as ink, and the low pressure all over his body was frighteningly cold.
[Host, I have vaguely detected a fluctuation in Xie Suzhou's blackening value.]
Su Cheng was rushing towards the Zhao family's house. He paused when he heard this, confusion flashing in his eyes. "He was fine just now, how come he turned evil? Did someone offend him?"
[Xie Suzhou's danger index has increased, please be mentally prepared.]
Su Cheng couldn't help but frown, looking a little weird, but no matter how she asked, the system seemed to be dead and didn't say anything.
"No matter how hard I try, can't I change their darkened ending?" Su Cheng's heart sank. She had no idea what the problem was, nor did she understand Xie Suzhou's feelings for her. She could only guess, "The favorability value hasn't changed, but the darkened value has increased. What exactly does Xie Suzhou want?"
【Host. 】
"Ah?" Su Cheng was stunned. "What?"
【Xie Suzhou wants it, host.】
After Su Cheng came back to his senses, his face quickly turned red. He stammered for a long time without being able to utter a complete sentence. He could only curse inwardly, "What do you know, you little robot?"
After she finished speaking, she ran towards the Zhao family as if escaping. The wind blowing across her cheeks made the blush fade away a little.

Zhao family
Su Cheng hid at the entrance of an alley not far away, carefully revealing half of his head and looking towards the Zhao Mansion.
A blue-roofed carriage was parked in front of the vermilion gate, with two coachmen standing beside it. There were also a few unfamiliar faces at the door that Su Cheng had never seen before. It was obvious that some distinguished guests had arrived.
Su Cheng pondered for a moment, chose to take a detour, and headed straight for Zhaojiajiaomen.
When she reached the corner gate, she suddenly bumped into someone's arms at the corner, and a burst of fragrance rushed into her nose.
Su Cheng took a few steps back, took a deep breath, covered his forehead, and slowly raised his eyes to meet the man's smiling gaze. "It's you?"
Yan Mu was still wearing the plain clothes he had worn when they first met, and he looked elegant, as if he had long expected her to appear at the corner gate. His eyes drooped, and when his gaze fell on her, the corners of his lips slightly raised, and a smile appeared in his eyes, "Miss Zhao, haven't you come——"
"Stop talking nonsense." Su Cheng quickly interrupted him, peering into the alley like a thief, "Let me ask you, has your master arrived?"
"Master?" Suspicion flashed across Yan Mu's eyes. He shook his head slightly and chose to tell the truth, "There is no master."
"The Third Prince only sent you here?" Su Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, a satisfied smile curling up at the corner of his lips. He said with lingering fear, "Luckily I ran into you today."
Yan Mu pursed her lips, a smile growing in her eyes, "What do you mean, Miss Zhao?"
Su Cheng looked into his eyes with a serious expression, "When we first met last time, you said I was your benefactor and that you should repay my kindness, is that right?"
Yan Mu raised his eyebrows slightly, not missing the cunning in her eyes, "Miss Zhao is right."
Hearing this, Su Cheng pursed her lips and smiled, looking at him softly, with expectation in her eyes, "That's perfect, now is a chance for you to repay me."
Yan Mu showed some interest and whispered, "I'm all ears."
Su Cheng lowered his voice and patiently instructed, "When you go back this time, tell them that I was extremely ill and didn't even show my face. Don't let it be known that you have seen me."
Yan Mu just stared at her calmly, smiling gently, "Does Miss Zhao hate the Third Prince so much?"
"Don't talk nonsense. I'm a Tian family member. How can I be disliked?" Su Cheng glared at him and whispered to him, "I'm just a timid person. It's better to have less trouble than more. I have little influence, so how dare I show up in front of others?"
"Don't worry, even if it's just to repay a favor, I won't let you suffer any loss." Su Cheng raised his chin towards the outside, motioning him to follow him, "Come on, I'll take you to have a good meal."
Yan Mu obediently followed her out, walking slowly, glancing at the figure walking in front of him, a gleam of determination flashing in his eyes.
The followers behind him wanted to catch up, but were stopped by their master with a slight raise of his hand. They had no choice but to stand at the corner gate of Zhao's house and watch out.
Not long after, Yan Mu's personal servant ran out of the Zhao residence. He looked around but couldn't find his master. "Where is the Third Prince?"
"She left with a man, and His Highness forbade us to follow."
"She left with a man?" The servant scratched his head, puzzled. "Strange! Wasn't His Highness waiting for Miss Zhao?"
