Chapter 8 The Truth (2/2)



Zhou Cheng closed his eyes, slightly opening them a crack, already preparing to take out a loaded pistol from his spatial storage.

"Da da da—"

A dark figure approached.

Zhou Cheng is poised to act.

However!

His hand was suddenly touched!

Zhou Cheng: "???"

Still so soft and fluffy?

What the hell is going on?

"bite!"

"Points increased by one! Two points... fifteen points!"

Hearing the notification sound of points increasing from the supply mall, Zhou Cheng was stunned. Only then did he vaguely make out the appearance of the person who had come through the darkness.

Cheng Xianyi was dressed in a set of night clothes, and her fair face was covered with fine beads of sweat, showing that it had taken a lot of effort to sneak into the general's mansion.

She sat carefully on the edge of the bed, her black hair falling down, a few strands resting on the back of Zhou Cheng's hand.

“Cheng, I heard what you said during the day.”

"You said you wished you could hold my hand while you slept at night, so I came here secretly. Don't blame me for being presumptuous, I just really wanted to see you."

"Although I don't know why you don't hate my touch anymore, or what you want, it doesn't matter. You can do whatever you want."

Only at this moment did Cheng Xianyi dare to shed her disguise.

Only then did I dare to speak out what I had kept hidden in my heart for so long.

She gently and quietly placed her jade-like hand on Zhou Cheng's palm, then secretly glanced at him, only relaxing after confirming that Zhou Cheng showed no signs of waking up.

I thought about it.

She mustered her courage again.

Her beautiful eyes fell on Zhou Cheng's thin lips.

May I?

Will he blame me when he finds out later?

But, but she really, really loved him. He was the reason she lived, just this once! Just this once... Anyway, he can't see it, right?

"Pop~"

With lightning speed, Cheng Xianyi lightly touched Zhou Cheng's lips.

Zhou Cheng almost lost his composure: "??!!!"

"bite!"

"Bonus reward from the Supply Shop: 10,000 points for your first lip-to-lip contact!"

"One second of duration, one hundred points added!"

Zhou Cheng: "?! ...

Is this even possible?

Why didn't you say so sooner!

Hold hands for one second, earn one point.

One hundred in one second?

Going any deeper... Stop, stop, don't think about it.

Zhou Cheng, who was pretending to be asleep with his eyes closed, was very excited. He immediately glanced at his total points. He had saved the points he had earned from shopping in the flower market during the day and had not used them. His current total points were 21,933.

At this moment, because Cheng Xianyi's little hand was still being held by him, his points were still rising rapidly.

It's growing happily.

Seeing Cheng Xianyi gazing at his face with bright eyes, she whispered softly, "Ah Cheng, will you still treat me as well as you did today?"

"If only things could always be like this, then I wouldn't have to keep trying to see you more often, or say a few more words to you."

Try every possible way?

What's the meaning?

Zhou Cheng was a little confused.

Cheng Xianyi continued, "I know Miss Lin dislikes me very much and can't stand to see me do well. That literary banquet where talented women in the capital appraised calligraphy and paintings was arranged by someone I asked."

"I know she'll definitely pester you to come and ask me to paint the landscape, and then add her name to it. That way, she can steal my title as a talented woman."

"It's okay, I don't care about those things at all."

"All I know is that when you hear her request, you will definitely come to the Cheng residence to ask me for the Landscape Map, and you will definitely say a few more words to me."

"......."

Zhou Cheng was truly dumbfounded when he heard this!

Yes, it was designed by Cheng Xianyi?

Just so I could see her one last time?

I thought she was just a love-struck fool, but I never expected her to be a smart, talented, and strategic love-struck fool!

If he weren't pretending to be asleep right now... yes, he's only good at pretending to be asleep right now, wouldn't Cheng Xianyi be incredibly embarrassed if he suddenly woke up?

etc!

If this whole thing was staged, what about all those other things that embarrassed the Cheng family and you in the past, like sending cats, humiliating servants, openly stealing silk, etc.?
