"bite!"
"Deepening your application will increase your points by 100 points... 300 points..."
"Points increase by one, two..."
"The total points in the Supplies Mall are 1,490,012 points... and are continuing to rise..."
Zhou Cheng sat in the carriage on the way to the Lin residence, absentmindedly playing with Cheng Xianyi's fair and slender little hand, which was soft, smooth, and so tender that it seemed as if you could squeeze water out of it.
I don't really know why, but I'm just a little reluctant to part with it.
The points will soon break the 1.5 million mark.
It won't be long before it reaches the target amount. I imagine that by then, Emperor Yan won't have the patience to wait any longer and will confront the Zhou family directly.
He, his mother, and his second sister will go to the border to reunite with their father.
What about Cheng Xianyi?
Will Uncle Cheng agree to let her go to the border with him?
As Zhou Cheng was thinking, he subconsciously looked up and glanced at Cheng Xianyi, whose gaze was always fixed on him, a deep, profound, devoted, and unwavering look in her eyes.
It's truly captivating.
Silly girl, she'll definitely agree to anything.
"Ah Cheng, are you going to see Miss Lin?" Cheng Xianyi asked casually as the carriage got closer and closer to the Lin residence.
Zhou Cheng replied, "We are going to the Lin residence."
Cheng Xianyi nodded, something seemed to darken in her eyes, her drooping eyelashes trembled, and some emotion flashed through the depths of her eyes before finally returning to calm.
It's murderous intent.
It was murderous intent that had been forcibly suppressed.
She thought,
She's so greedy.
They should be quite satisfied.
But she still craved more.
"What's wrong? Are you unhappy?" Zhou Cheng clearly noticed the subtle change in the atmosphere.
Cheng Xianyi shook her head with a faint smile.
But halfway through, her forced smile became increasingly strained.
Realizing her smile must have looked forced, she stopped smiling and instead held up her other hand, gesturing to Zhou Cheng with a distance the size of a fingernail, saying, "A tiny bit."
"Um."
"Just a tiny bit. I wasn't jealous. I just couldn't control myself. I won't do it again."
Zhou Cheng wanted to laugh out loud, but when he met her eyes, which were filled with fear and caution, he was stunned.
During the nearly two weeks we spent together...
Zhou Cheng could always sense Cheng Xianyi's inexplicable unease, anxiety, and cautiousness, as if his kindness to her was something she had stolen by any means, and did not belong to her.
If she says even the slightest wrong word.
Make a small mistake.
Zhou Cheng could take these things back at any time. Yes, he could take back the things she cared about most, the things that were most important to her, and the things that she valued most.
I've heard that loving someone to the extreme isn't about letting go or making amends.
Instead, it's madness.
That kind of deep-seated, humble madness.
"Xianyi, if you're unhappy, you can tell me directly. You can tell me anything, make requests, but don't keep it to yourself."
Zhou Cheng sighed and touched Cheng Xianyi's delicate cheek: "Although I don't know why you feel so insecure, I will let you know that I am not joking with you."
"If I say it's you, then it's you."
"As for going to find Lin Jiaoyun, it's because she has to pay back what she owes."
“In the past three years, I have given her most of the silver in the general’s mansion, but she has been spreading rumors that I forced her to accept it. If she was forced, then she has to return it all to me!”
These words made Cheng Xianyi's heart race.
His expression visibly brightened with pleasure.
