Xihe: ???
She was startled and asked the dog: "What's going on?"
The dog got up dazedly, opened his eyes, looked around, and yawned: "The old tree has become a spirit."
Xihe was speechless: "Do you still need to tell me this?"
Is that what she asked?
Gouzi spread his hands: "Then I don't know."
Xihe: ...waste.
She walked straight towards the big tree. It was an old tree with a thick waist that could be hugged by five adults. Its branches and leaves were so lush that they covered the entire sky. However, strangely, there was no bird's nest on the tree.
She looked up and saw a charred branch.
Xihe was stunned. Could it be that he couldn't withstand the thunder and finally turned evil? Started hurting people?
She couldn't help but reach out her hand, wanting to touch the tree trunk, but the next second, she felt dizzy and lost consciousness...
-
"Madam? Madam?"
Someone tapped her face.
Xihe opened her eyes in a daze, and the next second, she covered her head with her hands. She had a splitting headache and her head felt like it was about to explode. She couldn't help but burst into pain from her mouth.
"Come, drink some water. You drank too much yesterday."
The hand gently supported her, and then she felt a coolness in her mouth, and gurgling water flowed into her mouth.
Xihe felt her throat was extremely dry. She hugged the bowl and drank the water in big gulps. When her throat felt better, she opened her eyes, and the next moment her pupils shrank. Who was this handsome and charming man? Where was her silly fox?
The man patted her back and smiled gently: "Are you feeling better now?"
Xihe didn't say anything and looked around. It was an antique room with sky-blue curtains and the sound of birds outside. It seemed like a beautiful paradise.
She fixed her eyes on the man: "Who are you?"
Dressed in white, he looked like a banished immortal, clear and gentle, like a young master from a noble family.
The man smiled and raised his hand to touch her head, but Xihe dodged him. Reluctantly, he lowered his hand and smiled indulgently, "My lady, you're so funny. We've been married for two years, and you've actually forgotten who I am? Did you drink too much yesterday?"
She stood up and poured another cup of tea. Her sleeves were embroidered with beautiful branches and leaves.
Xihe frowned. Could this guy be the old tree?
"Your husband shouldn't have let you drink so much. I'll have to watch you more closely next time." His voice was filled with deep doting, with the corners of his mouth raised.
Xihe: “…”
He threw back the quilt, stood up, and walked straight out the door.
This is indeed a paradise on earth, with peach blossoms planted all over the mountains and green hills and clear waters, it is extremely beautiful.
A piece of clothing was draped over her body, and the man placed his hands on her shoulders: "My lady, do you like it? Delicate and pure, just like you."
Xihe shook off his hand, turned her head and stared into his eyes, frowning slightly.
The man tilted his head: "What's wrong?"
Xihe said nothing, turned around and walked out without saying a word. The maids and servants passing by worked stiffly. When she approached to ask questions, they seemed not to hear her and continued to work mechanically. There was a sense of weirdness everywhere.
The man followed slowly behind, watching Xihe asking people around.
Xihe’s brows furrowed tighter and tighter. What the hell is this place?
She tried to ask the dog: "Is he still alive?"
As expected, there was no sound.
Xihe then understood that she was probably dragged into her own illusion by the tree spirit.
This... is really amazing.
Xihe wandered around, and for several days the man would come to ask her about her well-being, as if they were a truly loving couple. She also learned from a few words that his name was Liu Qianye, and the entire villa belonged to him.
One day, Xihe was strolling around again when he suddenly saw a huge tree in the distance.
Towering ancient trees reach into the sky.
Xihe was stunned for a second, then quickly lifted her skirt and ran over. Bang, she bumped into a servant at the corner and fell to the ground.
She struggled to get up and looked at the man: "Are you okay..."
He was wearing a gray servant's uniform, with delicate features and a pair of rolling eyes. Now he was sitting on the ground in a daze, as if he was stupid.
Xihe was delighted and ran over: "Husband!"
But the servant suddenly pushed her away, stood up, lowered his head and bowed behind her.
Xihe was startled and turned around to see Liu Qianye standing not far away in white clothes. He had been watching for an unknown period of time, his eyes dim and the corners of his mouth were cold.
He smiled slightly and walked over: "Madam, are you hurt?"
Xihe glanced at him and got up, but in the meantime, Song Qianru had disappeared.
Xihe: “…”
For several days, Xihe wandered around looking for Song Qianru.
But there was no trace of him, and just when her patience was almost exhausted, she finally caught him in the kitchen.
She carried him to the corner and patted his face: "Song Qianru? Husband? Little fool?" He was stunned and didn't react at all.
Xihe frowned immediately, took the man back, thought for a while, and hid him in the cupboard, planning to interrogate him again at night. However, when it was dark, she had just dragged the man to the bed when Liu Qianye knocked on the door.
"Ma'am, are you asleep?"
The house was quiet.
Liu Qianye paused: "Then I'll come in."
Xihe was shocked and pulled the quilt to cover Song Qianru, saying, "Don't! I'm already asleep." Then someone hugged his waist.
There was silence outside the room for a while. Liu Qianye said, "Then you should have a good rest."
Xihe's heartstrings relaxed. To be honest, she didn't know where this guy came from, so it was better to be careful. She turned her head and met a pair of dull eyes.
Xihe was weird. He was so stupid, but he still hugged her?
She reached out and tried to pull the guy's hand away, but he just held her tighter and turned over to press her down.
