Chapter 180 Why Can He Do It?
The room was silent, with only the soft snoring of Little Crescent Moon under the window.
Su Cheng felt a chill from head to toe, his back was soaked, and even a thin layer of sweat appeared on his temples. "Thank you, Suzhou."
She was alone in the room and no one answered.
Su Cheng swallowed his saliva in fear, and felt a chill all over his body. "Xie Suzhou, is it you..."
After an unknown amount of time, a light laugh suddenly sounded from all around.
Su Cheng was so nervous that he couldn't even tell whether the laughter came from the house or from his own mind.
My guess was right, it was really Xie Suzhou...
Su Cheng covered her pink lips tightly, her whole body trembling, her heart in her throat.
If it was a real system, it would definitely determine whether Xie Suzhou, who was trapped in the pine forest, was safe. It would not let him make a wasted trip. In the past, when encountering emergency tasks, the system would always explain the rewards clearly to stimulate his fighting spirit. But last time, when it came to the family recognition task, it couldn't even tell him what the reward was.
Perhaps the system has been replaced since then.
The person behind the scenes uses the system to give orders to himself, asking him to work hard and lead the plot step by step to the position he wants.
Apart from Xie Suzhou after he turned evil, she couldn't think of anyone else who could be so strong.
"What are you going to do..." A drop of sweat slid down his forehead. Su Cheng grabbed the mattress under him, his heart beating wildly, and he tried hard to stop his body from trembling.
Xie Suzhou is difficult to deal with, let alone after he turns evil.
When fighting with him, you cannot reveal any weakness.
The windows on both walls were tightly closed, and the air in the room was still not circulating. However, a gust of wind came from nowhere and blew across her lower back, like a pair of invisible hands gently brushing her spine. Su Cheng shuddered violently, like a cat whose tail was stepped on, and immediately jumped up from the bed.
Little Yueyaer was awakened by her movement, turned her head to look at her, and fell asleep again.
It seemed as if nothing had happened in the room. Only Su Cheng knew that he was being targeted.
"Xie Suzhou..."
How did you discover this?
This time, Su Cheng heard it clearly.
A low and scattered voice echoed in my mind, cold and without a trace of warmth.
Depressing and sinister.
It was completely different from the clear and gentle voice of Xie Suzhou in my memory.
Su Cheng steadied himself, lowered his eyelashes, and asked softly, "Where is the previous system? How did you replace it?"
Suddenly, a slight electric current passed through her limbs, Su Cheng's body trembled, and she collapsed to the ground, losing consciousness.
I don’t know how much time passed, but when I woke up again, it was already the next morning.
The girl lying on the bed had her eyelashes trembling slightly and her brows unconsciously furrowed. She didn't know what she was dreaming about. When she opened her eyes, there was a noticeable fear in her eyes.
"Awake?" Du Heng stirred the medicine in the bowl. Seeing her awake, he breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but criticize her. "Tell me, what have you been busy with all day? You're seriously exhausted, your Qi and blood are insufficient. You finally made it to the capital. You couldn't eat as much as you wanted at the Zhao family. What good food can you expect back in Xinghua Village?"
Su Cheng struggled to stand up, frowned and asked, "Insufficient Qi and blood?"
"That's right." Du Heng glared at her. Although he was not forgiving with his words, his hands did not stop stirring the medicine. "You, you exhausted yourself. If Yueya hadn't scratched the window paper and came over to bite my trouser legs, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to save you in time!"
"How is it possible..." Su Cheng's face looked grim. Thinking back to the electric current before she fainted, she should have been numbed by the electric shock. How could she have fainted due to lack of qi and blood?
"Don't think about those things, just drink the medicine quickly." Du Heng handed the medicine to her and glanced outside, his face suddenly lit up with joy. "Look, that brat Xie Suzhou has been waiting outside for an hour and a half since he heard you were unconscious."
Xie Suzhou?
Su Cheng looked back and saw a man leaning against the door. He was wearing a coral long gown and waving a folding fan in his hand. When he saw the girl on the bed looking at him, the corners of his lips curled up slightly, looking like a gentle and noble young man.
But when did Xie Suzhou wear red clothes?
Somehow, Su Cheng's heart tightened, and her hand holding the porcelain bowl trembled with force. She was unaware that her fingertips touched the warm medicine.
"You two young ones, chat. I, an old man, won't be an eyesore here." Du Heng stood up tactfully, walked to the door, winked at the people there, and whispered, "Boy, I'm rooting for you."
Xie Suzhou smiled at him politely, his long gown swaying slightly, and he closed the door with one hand.
Seeing the man in front of the door slowly walking towards him, Su Cheng hurriedly put the medicine aside and retreated to the corner, with a vigilant look on his face, "What are you going to do?"
Xie Suzhou approached her, lifted her chin with his long fingers, and looked her over. The smile on his lips gradually widened. "I've been dreaming about you intermittently, but I couldn't see you clearly. Now that I see your true face, you are indeed much more beautiful than that vicious woman."
This sentence undoubtedly revealed his identity. Su Cheng's breath was choked and he pushed him away suddenly.
Xie Suzhou was caught off guard and fell backward, hitting the bed frame.
Su Cheng tightly grasped his collar, staring at him with those clear, moist eyes. He gritted his teeth and asked, "Where did you take Xie Suzhou?"
"What's the hurry?" Xie Suzhou pulled his lip, completely ignoring the anger in her eyes, and said nonchalantly, "What's the difference between me and him? He is me, and I am him."
"You're talking nonsense!" Su Cheng let go of him and stepped back, keeping a safe distance from him. "Why did you show up? His life is gradually getting better. Why did you want to ruin everything?"
Xie Suzhou propped himself up and looked at her, silent for a long while. After an unknown amount of time, a sneer appeared on his lips. "Then why... can't I be the one who lives a good life in my previous life?"
Su Cheng paused, speechless for a moment.
"I've suffered so much, almost sacrificed half my life to climb to my current position." Xie Suzhou's eyes flashed dangerously, and he sat up straight. "Power, love, family and friends...why can't they be mine? Just because I met you in this life, do I deserve to live a life I never dared to imagine?"
"Why can he do it..."
A light-hearted "Why?" blocked Su Cheng's words.
"Not long ago, Ah Ming was in a coma for half a month. When he woke up, he became crazy and muttered something incomprehensible. He asked for a fast horse and headed straight for Liaoyang. Later, I learned that he was the son of the late Taiwei Shangguan Qingyun."
Xie Suzhou slowly raised his eyes, his gaze landing on Su Cheng's face, his eyes gloomy. "Until I asked him further, he said that he dreamed of a woman who looked a bit like Su Cheng's vicious woman. That woman told him his identity."
"After that, I kept dreaming about you on and off."
