The car drove into the courtyard and slowly stopped. The car was very quiet.
Xia Xingchi was sleeping soundly, and in his dream, there was a huge golden money tree covered with golden yellow gold standing in front of him.
The pure gold branches were cool to the touch. One bound his waist to restrain him, while the other touched his lips...
A cool itch spread from his lips to his collarbone. Xia Xingchi snorted unconsciously and reached out to grab the gold.
Then he grabbed Li Chengyuan's fingers.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Li Chengyuan's expressionless face close to him, and the hand that had just touched his lips, with eyes lowered, staring at him quietly.
Xia Xingchi was stunned, and then woke up!
From his perspective, the villain seemed to be observing whether he was fat and tender enough to be put into the pot.
...Oh my God, isn’t it enough that I learned that sleeping can cause trouble? I accidentally fell asleep in front of Li Chengyuan again.
This really couldn't be blamed on Xia Xingchi. After all, he had hardly slept in the entire week before he traveled through the book, and he worked very hard every day to make money.
I had finally paid off my debt this month and wanted to go back home to have a good sleep, but unexpectedly I was struck by lightning on the way.
As a result, I didn’t get a good night’s sleep.
On such a quiet night that was perfect for murder and arson, Xia Xingchi had just woken up and had a close eye contact with the villain, and the scene was instantly filled with horror.
He suddenly realized that he was still holding Li Chengyuan's fingers, so he quickly let go as if he had been electrocuted.
Fortunately, Li Chengyuan did not do anything else. He retracted his gaze and got out of the car. Xia Xingchi had no choice but to follow him, looking around like a sleepwalker:
A luxurious French villa with a courtyard and a lake, sculptures and fountains in the garden reflecting the bright light of the lights, neatly trimmed lawns, carefully trimmed flowers...
In the capital city, where every inch of land is valuable, everything about it demonstrates the unrivalled wealth of its owner.
Xia Xingchi was instantly shocked by the money ability.
It was not until I walked into the door that I realized my life was in danger and I was like a fish on the chopping board waiting to be slaughtered.
Li Chengyuan hasn't gone completely crazy yet, but who knows if he will go crazy before his time?
It was like this inexplicable engagement party, which not only was brought forward, but also did not end with a broken engagement as in the original plot.
Yu Rou didn't dare to ask why he was brought home by Li Chengyuan. Xia Xingchi was afraid of stepping on the tiger's tail again, so he had to suppress his talkative nature on the pager, shut up and follow him.
The interior space of the villa was quite large and incredibly luxurious. Xia Xingchi looked up and saw the elevator described in the book.
When I was reading the book, I was thinking, there is a garage and a swimming pool underground, and a three-story villa above ground. Installing an elevator on only the fifth floor is simply an inhumane extravagance.
When he's delivering food, he can climb ten floors in one breath to meet deadlines.
However, despite the luxury, Xia Xingchi knew it was because of Li Chengyuan's illness:
This person looks fine now, but he only has half a year to live.
It was difficult for him to walk when he was sick, but this arrogant and bad-tempered person would not allow himself to be carried up and down by others.
Without an elevator to push his wheelchair, he couldn't get back to his room.
Uncle Ding, the housekeeper, came forward, took Li Chengyuan's coat and hung it up, then greeted him with a smile, "Sir."
Then he turned around and said kindly: "You are Master Xia, right? Do you have any luggage that needs to be settled, or do you need any help?"
Xia Xingchi immediately shook his head obediently. Seeing that there were at least five or six servants around him, as well as a friendly-looking butler, his tense heartstrings finally relaxed.
The villain can't commit crimes in front of so many people.
His life should be safe for the time being, Xia Xingchi finally dared to ask: "Mr. Li, when can I go back?"
Li Chengyuan was untying his tie as he walked up the stairs.
Hearing this, he asked calmly, "We are already engaged, where are you going back to?"
The bright light from the crystal chandelier poured down, and the engagement diamond rings on their middle fingers sparkled brightly.
The answer was reasonable. Xia Xingchi was slightly stunned and let out a long "ah".
Oh yes, the ridiculously exciting engagement party before is...but is this really an engagement? !
Not to mention that the original plot is not like this at all, just look at Li Chengyuan's worth, what lover can he not get if he wants?
How could he make such a hasty decision about his life?
"Bang!" With a cold sound of the door closing, Li Chengyuan entered his room and locked Xia Xingchi outside without any courtesy.
Xia Xingchi: ...
Even the credibility of a sow climbing a tree or a boar giving birth is definitely higher than the credibility of the villain wanting to marry him.
I really wanted to shake his shoulders with both hands and ask him loudly: We don't know each other, why didn't you break off the engagement according to the script at the engagement dinner? !
The villain boss and the extra cannon fodder, two characters destined to die, put together, it is impossible for two negatives to equal a positive.
Thinking of this, Xia Xingchi suddenly turned into a sad frog, frowning and wondering how he would die as a cannon fodder.
"Master, the room is ready. Would you like to have a midnight snack or a glass of milk before going to bed?" Uncle Ding asked as he went upstairs.
Seeing Xia Xingchi squatting at the door of Li Chengyuan in frustration, drawing circles on the ground with his fingers, she thought it was because she was sad about not being able to sleep with her fiancé.
The old man immediately comforted her sincerely: "Don't think too much, sir, he may want to get married and then live together - but he must love you."
The tone was quite affirmative.
But Xia Xingchi looked like he didn't believe it at all. He added, "Really. He specifically asked us to keep an eye on you and report to him at any time."
Xia Xingchi: ...
Thank you, I was not comforted at all. I suspected he just wanted someone to watch me and foil any escape plans I might have.
I don’t know why the old butler who watched Li Chengyuan grow up and knew him quite well would have such an illusion.
.
The midnight snack was steaming hot pork ribs noodles.
The noodles are soft and smooth, the ribs have been stewed until they are tender and tasty, and are garnished with a few pieces of golden corn. Xia Xingchi took a bite and instantly felt that his soul was complete and healed.
——I’m so happy. Even if I’m about to be captured and killed by the villain, I’d rather die well-fed.
The ups and downs of the engagement dinner were so exciting that he didn't even have time to eat. After eating two large bowls of noodles, he finally put down his chopsticks in satisfaction.
After finishing the meal, he expressed his gratitude to Aunt Li with great satisfaction: "It's so delicious, thank you Aunt Li!"
Although Xia Xingchi is a little thorny, he looks very cute when he smiles sincerely, and his curved eyebrows and eyes are very lovable.
Aunt Li was immediately flattered.
Over the years, she has been responsible for Li Chengyuan's diet and daily life, but the second young master Li has been weak and has a poor stomach since childhood. He will have stomachache if his diet is slightly inappropriate, and he is not interested in eating anything.
To the point that Aunt Li had to suspect that her cooking was not tasty and always hoped that he would eat more.
Unexpectedly, something happened later, and his temperament, words and deeds changed drastically, and this time he was "normal" -
It's completely normal. I don't abstain from eating raw, cold, spicy food. I just eat as much rice as the serving size allows, not caring whether my body can take it or not, and it continues into a vicious cycle.
It was not until he left the old house that his daily words and deeds gradually improved.
Back to the topic, it was rare for Aunt Li to meet a child like Xia Xingchi who was so supportive and ate so happily, which was simply the highest praise for her cooking skills.
She immediately asked Xia Xingchi generously and contentedly: "I have recently figured out a set of recipes. Would you like to order dishes from me every day in the future?"
Xia Xingchi immediately pricked up his ears when he was offered free luxurious food and accommodation, and the freedom to eat meat for every meal.
Just as he was about to nod excitedly, he suddenly stopped——
Wait, you’ve always lived here…?
Are you sure it's me who ordered the dishes, and not me who became the dish stewed by Li Chengyuan?
Xia Xingchi thought for a moment and asked cautiously: "Li Chengyuan..."
He opened his mouth, but in the end didn't ask anything.
Even Uncle Ding mistakenly thought that Li Chengyuan liked him, so it was probably impossible to get any information from Aunt Li about Li Chengyuan's motives for keeping him.
While cleaning up the dishes, Aunt Li said enthusiastically, "Young Master, go back to bed early. The master will be home tomorrow, so you can sleep until you wake up naturally."
The room has been prepared in advance and is fully equipped with all kinds of daily necessities.
Xia Xingchi was already alert, but the word "sleep" reminded his sleep-deprived brain.
A strong sense of sleepiness swept over him and he couldn't help yawning.
He walked upstairs like a sleepwalker, washed up hastily, and quickly got into the warm and comfortable bed.
Forget it, I just want to sleep even if the sky falls. No matter what Li Chengyuan wants to do, I don’t believe he can come into my dream and scare me.
.
Unexpectedly, one cannot be too sure about what one says. Xia Xingchi never expected that the scary villain who "can stop children from crying at night" would actually come into his dream and scare him.
It was late at night and Xia Xingchi opened his eyes in a daze, half awake. A little light came in through the undrawn curtains.
The light was not bright, but it was enough to see clearly inside the house.
Then he saw that Li Chengyuan was sitting quietly beside his bed, looking at him motionlessly.
Xia Xingchi: ...
I swear, even thrillers don't have such a thrilling opening.
Li Chengyuan was wearing a black nightgown, which made his face look even paler.
His belt was tied casually, and his collar was slightly open, revealing his beautiful muscular lines.
There was no expression on his face, and his hair hung down in front of his forehead, but even though he was dressed casually, his aura in the dream was still very intimidating.
The two looked at each other for a moment, and Xia Xingchi dazedly and quickly made an "effective" thought:
He quickly pulled his head into the quilt and closed his eyes to hide himself.
The subtext seems to be saying, as long as I can't see you, you can't see me.
Then he fell asleep again without a care in the world.
.
As if to make up for the sleep he had missed, when Xia Xingchi woke up the next day, it was already afternoon.
The feeling of getting a good night's sleep is so satisfying. The soft bed and warm quilt give people an incomparable sense of happiness.
It even made him feel that "it would be nice to live here forever."
Xia Xingchi felt refreshed and stretched lazily in the warm golden sunshine that filled the room.
After a quick wash, I put on the fitting home clothes Uncle Ding sent me. I had missed lunch, so I had to go downstairs hungry to find food.
Aunt Li was carrying a laundry basket and preparing to wash clothes. When she saw him sticking his head into the kitchen, she smiled and asked:
"Master, are you awake? Are you hungry? Dinner isn't ready yet, but I just baked some egg tarts for you. Would you like some?"
Xia Xingchi nodded immediately upon hearing this. He was attracted by the sweet fragrance.
In my previous life, I couldn’t even afford to buy one more vegetable bun, let alone eat egg tarts and other small desserts.
He has always loved sweets like a child, and as a versatile worker, he can actually bake all kinds of desserts.
But after making them, you can only watch others buy them while enjoying their tempting sweetness, and you can only taste them a few times.
He was happily following Aunt Li into the kitchen, but his eyes subconsciously swept across the clothes basket in her hands - on the top was a black nightgown.
He knew without asking that these were Li Chengyuan's clothes.
The style is very familiar, as if I had just seen him wear it... The question is, when had I seen him wear it?
Last night, Li Chengyuan was wearing a white shirt when he returned to his room. Even after taking a shower and changing clothes, he never went out again so that he could see him.
In a flash, that horror-movie-like dream reappeared before my eyes.
Why is it the exact same style and color as the clothes Li Chengyuan wore in the “dream”?
A creepy question immediately lingered in Xia Xingchi's mind. He suddenly realized something and the smile on his face slowly froze.
Could it be that he came into my room last night, sat by my bed and watched me sleep?
