Chapter 269 Villa Imprisonment (18) - The Truth Exposed
Ning Shu's tense mood suddenly eased when she saw his smug face, and she thought to herself: You forced me to do this.
Si Zhong looked at the bowl she was holding, somewhat surprised.
Xiaoman knew that he didn't eat in the study, but she didn't tell Xiaotudou.
But after thinking about it, it didn't matter whether Xiaoman told her or not, because Ning Shu was special.
Moreover, doing this will only make him feel that she cares about him; otherwise, why would she care whether he eats or not?
Although he wasn't hungry, he was naturally happy to accept the favor of a beautiful woman who had offered herself to him.
"Come here." Si Zhong put down the book in his hand and beckoned to Ning Shu.
Ning Shu originally wanted to smile at him, but considering that she usually didn't give him a nice look, she thought that if she suddenly did so, he would definitely become suspicious, so she approached him with a cold face.
"Xiaoman cooked me some mung bean soup. Here, have some, don't say I'm eating alone."
The reason is perfectly valid. After all, she's eating and living in his house now, so it's perfectly reasonable for her to share some of her favorite foods with him.
Si Zhong, unsuspecting, took the bowl from her hand, scooped a spoonful, and brought it to his lips, taking a small sip to feel the temperature.
Ning Shu was worried that the medicine would take effect, but the dosage was too small to be effective. She was extremely anxious.
Si Zhong felt the temperature was just right, guessing that she had let it cool down for a while before bringing it in, and suddenly felt a warm feeling in her heart.
See? The forced melon not only quenches thirst but also becomes sweeter!
But the next second, his ear cartilage stud suddenly emitted a faint light, which lasted for a few seconds before disappearing.
The room suddenly fell silent.
Ning Shu didn't expect that this tool could even detect poisoning.
This... is hard to judge.
It's understandable that the item can block physical attacks, but it's ridiculous that it can even block chemical attacks.
Si Zhong was still holding the bowl in his hand, his eyelids lifted as he stared intently at Ning Shu.
Even though he was sitting, his aura was even more imposing than when he was standing.
He put down the bowl in his hand, and whether it was intentional or not, the sound of the bowl hitting the table was particularly loud.
With a "bang," the study door slammed shut behind her as the wind blew.
Ning Shu felt a chill run down her spine from the sound and couldn't help but take a step back.
If the door hadn't already been closed, she would have run away!
How can this be explained?
If she says she was possessed and that's why she did this, I wonder how much the other person would believe her?
Si Zhong's voice was cold: "Why?"
After saying that, he stood up, walked around the desk, and approached her step by step.
At that moment, the sunlight behind him shone through the floor-to-ceiling windows, casting him in the shadows and obscuring his facial expression.
That's why he looks so imposing, like a mountain pressing down on you.
Ning Shu always felt that there was a dark aura surrounding him, a typical villainous aura.
Finally unable to bear it any longer, she turned and ran—it was a human survival instinct.
Si Zhong wasn't about to let her leave, so he quickened his pace.
As Ning Shu opened the door, she pressed him against the door panel.
He grabbed her arm and turned her over so she was facing him.
His hand remained on Ning Shu's shoulder, firmly "nailing" her to him.
Suppressing his anger, he repeated, "Why!"
Wasn't he good enough to her?
I have always been accommodating to her requests.
Aside from being a bit willful in bed, he usually goes along with her.
She actually wanted to kill him! And it was premeditated murder!
Ning Shu didn't know how to explain, so she finally answered truthfully.
His voice trembled violently: "I... I just want to leave the game." By the end, his voice was barely audible.
Si Zhong didn't understand what the connection was between leaving the game and leaving him; in the end, she was still thinking about that man.
His compliance with me these days was nothing but pretense; he really put on a good show of being "in Cao's camp but with his heart in Han's."
She questioned, "You want to leave me, don't you? Even now, you still can't forget him, can you?"
Ning Shu was taken aback, and instantly realized who Si Zhong was referring to as "him".
She admitted that she still harbored feelings for Cheng Chuan.
After all, people always think about and reminisce about things they can't have.
But that wasn't the main reason she did it.
She just wanted to refresh his memory so that he wouldn't be so obsessed with her.
Anyway, as long as they stay in the game, they have no future, since the players here are endlessly recycled.
In Si Zhong's view, Ning Shu's silence was a tacit admission, and he was so angry that he laughed.
Hearing Si Zhong's laughter, Ning Shu felt a chill run down her spine.
She felt that Si Zhong was dangerous at this moment, as if he had turned back into the cold and ruthless person she knew before.
She didn't know how to explain it, and even if she did, he might not believe her.
Who would believe the explanation given by someone who wanted to harm them after being caught?
They all believed that it was just an excuse for the other party to get away with it.
Undeterred, Si Zhong asked, "You like him because you met him first?"
Ning Shu pondered his question for a moment, and yes, Cheng Chuan was her first crush.
She thought they were destined to miss each other for life, but things took an unexpected turn, and they actually had a chance! That's why she was so persistent.
If he hadn't suddenly confessed his feelings, they might already be together.
Ning Shu answered Si Zhong honestly: "Yes, that's right... uh!"
Ning Shu suddenly felt a pain in her abdomen.
I instinctively looked down at the spot where the pain was coming from—there was a knife stuck there.
This knife looks familiar; it's the short knife that Si Zhong usually uses.
At that moment, Si Zhong's hand was gripping the hilt of the knife... He was so fast that she didn't even see him draw the knife before it pierced her body.
Si Zhong looked at her expressionlessly and said, "It's alright. After you are resurrected, I will make sure you meet me first."
"At that time, you will definitely fall in love with me and never remember who that other man was."
Ning Shu looked at Si Zhong in disbelief.
This was even more shocking than when he stabbed her: he actually... had memories too! He and she were originally the same!
Watching Si Zhong pull the knife out of her abdomen, Ning Shu mentally screamed: "Do you even like people that much?"
In the instant she collapsed, all she could think about was: her points...
...
Snowflakes are falling, the north wind is howling~
Ning Shu, who was reborn back in the red brick factory, was kneeling on the floor, looking utterly hopeless.
If there were background music at this moment, it would be like recreating a classic scene from a movie.
This resurrection brought her three major shocks.
Firstly, she hadn't expected that Si Zhong, like her, would retain his memories after being resurrected.
After he was resurrected, he acted like he didn't recognize me at all; it was all an act!
With such great acting skills, why don't you compete for an Oscar!
Secondly, given his exceptional ability to complete the game and his memory, why is he content to remain in the game?
Although in the game, he can indeed enjoy a more comfortable life than most players.
But it's all an illusion. Once resurrected, everything will vanish like a bubble!
Thirdly, she lost all her points!!
Ning Shu now has a deep understanding of what it feels like to die with money left unspent.
Si Zhong's strike not only took her and her points away, but also reset all her data, leaving only her memories.
