Chapter 213 Something big is going to happen at home
-
Xie family
The gentle and handsome man on the bed had his eyes closed, his collar loosely unbuttoned, his bony hands neatly placed on his chest, his long, fine eyelashes covering his eyes, trembling from time to time, and his breathing was not very stable.
A soft, boneless hand reached out from the bedside and gently smoothed the wrinkles between his brows.
The next moment, the man suddenly opened his eyes, subconsciously grabbed the hand, pulled it into his arms, and pinched the man's neck with his left hand.
As long as he exerts a little effort, the person in front of him will be able to return home.
Xie Suzhou opened his eyes, the hostility in his eyes had not yet dissipated. Suddenly, he met Su Cheng's panicked eyes, and his hands trembled with fear.
"Ah...Ah Cheng?"
Su Cheng watched helplessly as the person in front of him instantly became obedient and honest, without any trace of ferocity left on his face.
Xie Suzhou quickly withdrew his hand, not forgetting to slap the back of his own hand fiercely. Then he raised his eyes angrily, as if afraid that she would get angry, "Ah Cheng, I... I was wrong."
Su Cheng pursed her pink lips, quite speechless, "Why did you wake up suddenly? You scared me."
The window was half-open, and sunlight shone on the bedside. Xie Suzhou's face turned pale, and he said in a deep voice, "I seem to be having a nightmare."
"In my dream, there was someone with a face exactly like mine, doing evil things..."
Somewhere in an unknown place, someone sneezed twice in succession.
Xie Suzhou lowered his long, fine eyelashes, the cold sweat on his forehead still not dissipated, "He went to court for me, recognized my mother for me, and even with you——"
Xie Suzhou was reluctant to continue the conversation, his expression becoming increasingly grim. "He was mumbling something about his past life or a system... In short, it was a bunch of words I couldn't understand."
Su Cheng lowered his eyes and stared at his fingertips, "What if that wasn't a dream?"
Xie Suzhou was stunned for a moment, and for the first time, a look of confusion appeared on his handsome face. "What did you say?"
【Host, you...】
She ignored the system's voice and stared straight at Xie Suzhou's eyebrows. "You should have known that I am not the original Su Cheng. I came here because I did have a mission, but I never thought of hurting any of you."
Su Cheng raised his eyes calmly, his eyes calm and without wavering. "The person in the dream was you in your previous life, and the system really exists. You three brothers had a very hard life in your previous life, so the system chose me from the vast sea of people and asked me to rewrite the course of your life."
Xie Suzhou lowered his eyes in a trance, staring at her pink fingertips, silent.
The room was silent for a long time. Su Cheng took a deep breath and said softly, "If you think I'm a monster, just tell me and I'll leave."
Leave the hell.
Her favorability value has increased by more than half, so it is simply a dream to let her leave and fall into the animal realm.
A gleam of light flashed in Su Cheng's eyes, and he pretended to be pitiful without saying a word.
"I'm glad it's you..."
Su Cheng raised his eyes and asked in surprise, "What... did you say?"
"As long as it's you." Xie Suzhou raised his eyelids, his eyes filled with pleading and brokenness, and he looked quite depressed. "Did that thing called the system force or bully you?"
【？ 】
"Probably... not." Su Cheng shook his head, feeling the system vibrating wildly in his mind, and wanted to laugh for a moment.
"That's good." Xie Suzhou breathed a sigh of relief and closed his eyes. "I don't care about past lives or present lives. As long as I can meet you in this life, it's a blessing. Apart from you, I don't want anything else."
Su Cheng was surprised and whispered, "Does it also include the fame that you care about most?"
The smile on Xie Suzhou's lips was a little bitter. "What I care about most is not fame."
Su Cheng paused, took a few deep breaths, and said, "Then I'll give you a chance. Marry me."
The woman's voice was clear, gentle and pleasant. She seemed to have mustered up her courage and spoke in a low voice.
Every word hit his heart.
Xie Suzhou was completely stunned, looking bewildered. After seeing the seriousness in her eyes, his heart suddenly started beating rapidly.
What fell from the sky was not a pie, but a meat pie, a thin-crusted, large-filled white flour pancake.
He was knocked dizzy.
"Acheng, say it again."
"Xie Suzhou, marry me."
There was a sudden noise outside the door with a bang.
The two people in the house looked towards the door and saw Xie Jinyu in green standing at the door. The breeze blew his sleeves, and the wooden basin fell to the ground. The clear water inside splashed on the corner of his clothes and extinguished the pride in his bones.
Those phoenix eyes were as black as ink, without any emotion. They stared blankly at Su Cheng, and their thin lips, which had originally had blood color, turned pale again.
The world suddenly became very quiet, and none of the three people spoke first.
Xie Jinyu lowered her eyes in frustration, staring at the wooden basin at her feet, then turned and left without a word.
"Xie Jin——"
Su Cheng was about to call him when she was suddenly embraced by the person behind her. She choked and looked back at Xie Suzhou, frowning and asking, "What are you doing?"
Xie Suzhou tucked the loose hair behind her ears and said in a low voice, "You stay in the room obediently. I'll go talk to Jinyu."
"You go and tell him?" Su Cheng frowned and looked at him doubtfully, "Are you sure Xie Jinyu won't stab you twice?"
"I'm his brother after all." Xie Suzhou pursed his lips and smiled softly, like a spring breeze. "Even if he's still sad, he'll be fine once this passes."
"No matter how crazy he is, can he really fight me?"
In the east room, Su Chen hugged Xie Jinyu's arm tightly, his face pale with fear, but he couldn't stop him at all, "Third Uncle... Third Uncle, stop talking, it sounds creepy!"
Su Zhijun looked at the axe that was polished to a shine, then looked at his uncle's calm and indifferent expression, pursed his lips, swallowed his saliva, turned around and ran out.
Something big is going to happen... She has to go find Grandpa!
Ping'er scratched her head, not knowing what that big green tea girl was up to.
Why are you sharpening the knife for no reason?
"Master...Master! Something's going to happen at home!"
The little girl suddenly rushed into the pharmacy that Xie Suzhou had specially cleaned for the old man, startling the old man who was taking a nap inside. The medical book fell to the ground, and Du Heng broke out in a cold sweat, "What's wrong? What's wrong!"
Su Zhijun took a deep breath and said loudly, "Master, my mother and second uncle are getting married!"
Du Heng exhaled and patted his chest. "Girl, you gasped when you spoke and scared me. It's just your second uncle proposing to you. What's the big deal?"
"No, it was my mother who started talking... all that nonsense isn't the point!" Su Zhijun grabbed the old man's sleeve, her face pale. "They were discussing the marriage in the house, and my third uncle overheard it. He's sharpening a knife in his room right now. The knife can be used as a mirror, it's so bright it's blinding! Fourth uncle hasn't come back yet. If he knew, I'm afraid there would be a big uproar."
"Oh no!" Du Heng shuddered and quickly put on his shoes. "Someone's going to die!"
