Shang Xian stood up from the hammock and yawned: "I'm a little sleepy."
She was just about to go back to her bedroom when she was suddenly hugged from behind by the man behind her.
Shen Yi buried his head in the crook of her neck, and Shang Xian froze, not daring to move at all.
"Later, I was still by your side," he said in a low, hoarse voice, uttering such strange words. Shang Xian was truly baffled.
"Godly Chess?"
After releasing his grip, he patted his forehead and laughed, "I think I might be a little out of it."
"Pfft, you're probably really drunk." She figured even Shen Yi thought he was drunk, so Shang Xian naturally didn't think much of it.
"May I ask if my wife could pour your husband a glass of hot water?" Shen Yi licked his slightly dry lips.
As Shang Xian poured him water, she replied, "I'll pour you water this time, but remember to be obedient from now on."
"Okay," Shen Yi sat on the side of the bed. While Shang Xian poured hot water, he took out a small paper package from the waist of his red wedding dress.
He quickly opened the paper packet, which contained some fine powder. He didn't know what it was, so he rubbed some between his index finger and thumb and then threw the packet into the trash can.
Then, Shishang Xian returned with a glass and handed it to Shen Yi.
Shen Yi took the cup, took a small sip, and looked at Shang Xian: "Hot."
He had already placed the powder he was holding in his hand into the glass, but Shang Xian couldn't see this little action at all.
"It's not hot!" Shang Xian took the glass again, took a small sip, and then realized that she might have been tricked by Shen Yi!
"Shen Yi, are you kidding me?!" Shang Xian shoved the cup back into Shen Yi's hand.
Shen Yi no longer cared about the cup; he kept staring at Shang Xian, his eyes full of tenderness.
Shang Xian felt a little uneasy under his gaze: "Shen Yi, don't look at me like that, it scares me."
Shen Yi looked away, patted the person next to him, and gestured for her to sit down.
"Shenyi, don't you feel a little hot?" Shangxian felt himself getting hot...
Moreover, she is wearing pajamas, while Shen Yi is wearing thicker clothes and doesn't seem very hot. Why would she be hot?
"Oh?" Shen Yi smiled, put his arm around Shang Xian's waist, and gently held Shang Xian's exposed arm with his other hand.
Shang Xian immediately felt the skin touched by Shen Yi cool down, and her breathing became rapid. She didn't know what was happening.
"I feel like something's not right..." The closer she got to Shen Yi, the more comfortable she felt.
"Oh no," Shen Yi said calmly, but Shang Xian's almond-shaped eyes reddened slightly, as if she had been bullied.
"What's wrong?"
"They tried to drug me last night, but I caught them. Maybe there was a little bit of the drug in the water in the glass just now," Shen Yi said, his lies were always well-rehearsed.
"Then..." She collapsed into Shen Yi's arms like a puddle of water.
Shenyi had wanted to do that for a long time, otherwise this scam would have been pointless.
He pushed Shang Xian down and leaned over him.
Shen Yi finally finished his work in the early hours of the morning. Shang Xian beside him had already fallen asleep, and she was truly exhausted.
Shen Yi took his pajamas to take a shower. When he came back, Shi Shangxian had kicked the cup off. He covered her with the blanket again, but she kicked it off again a little while later.
He had no choice but to hold her tightly to keep her from moving.
For him, it was a perfect ending.
"I'll stop at nothing to get rid of anyone who's after you, not even Li Ci. I'll make sure I never leave you, even if it means using despicable methods to keep you, even if it's a series of deceptions. You need to know that I won't hurt you. I love you. Goodnight."
Shen Yi whispered these words in her ear, only saying them when she was asleep, because he was afraid she would hate him.
Shen Yi held her and drifted off to sleep, but Shang Xian opened her eyes in the darkness.
What a coincidence! Just as Li Ci was seriously considering his relationship with her, the answer was obvious: Li Ci had ulterior motives towards her. The very next day, the Yan Ruyu incident occurred. Aside from someone trying to target Li Ci, it could only be a matter of feelings. But it's all in the past now, so it doesn't matter anymore.
Shang Xian smiled gently, closed her eyes again, and quietly hooked her left hand around Shen Yi's neck.
Shen Yi loves her, and perhaps she knows all of this...
