Chapter 120
Xue Chen did not answer. He raised his eyelids slightly and slowly moved his gaze to her hair, where pink and white petals fell when he pressed her against the trunk of the crabapple tree.
"Why don't you do the mission?"
His voice was extremely soft, with a damp hoarseness.
One hand brushed her ear, and the other hand supported on the tree trunk, holding her in his arms. His eyes swept across the corners of her red eyes and finally fell on the crook of her neck.
Ning Shengsheng's back stiffened, and she felt a damp, cold and chilly air tightly wrapping around her.
The sun is shining brightly in the sky.
"Don't you always complete every task assigned by the system? Why do you refuse when it's your turn to say you like me?"
Xue Chen slowly leaned down, his nose almost touching the loose hair on the side of her neck.
She smelled delicious, like a spiritual field kissed by the warm sun, instantly dispelling the darkness in his heart.
"Xue Wuyin, I..."
Ning Shengsheng moved her lips, not knowing where to start.
Force yourself to calm down.
Then asked Xue Chen.
"How do you know the system?"
"Oh."
The other person's eyes were playful, and he spread out his palms with a mocking look on his lips, "Are you talking about this?"
"It has already been taken in by me."
The gray air mass in the palm of his hand couldn't stop shaking.
So this is what her system looks like?
No wonder the later missions were a bit strange. She had never expected things to go this way. She pursed her lips and asked, "Those sticking missions...?"
"I made it up."
The young man leaned over with a sickly expression, his hot breath sweeping over her skin. "Your Highness, you know, people like me will never let go of a piece of candy even if they die."
She was so shocked by Xue Chen's actions that she held her breath, and the hair on the back of her neck stood up instantly, but she heard him sighing softly, as if he was coveting some rare treasure.
"Even if—"
“I know it’s all fake.”
Boom!!!
Ning Shengsheng's brain was struck by lightning.
The young man buried his face deeper, and the unique orchid scent on his body became sticky and cold.
The crabapple petals are still falling.
It stained the ends of their hair and the collars of their clothes.
He pressed against her, greedily breathing in the warm fragrance that made him clear his mind.
It was as if Ning Shengsheng would be imprisoned here month after month and year after year unless she told her the reason.
The lively conversations of the people and the hawking of the vendors were clearly nearby, but they were completely different from the scene behind the crabapple tree, as if they were two different worlds.
The trembling system secretly transmitted a message to Ning Shengsheng.
[Host, calm him down first. I'll explain to you when I have a chance.]
The system's words brought her back to reality.
Gradually waking up from her dizzy state, she raised her hand and gently patted Xue Chen on the back.
"I didn't mean to refuse the mission. You know, I'm not Princess Ning'an, but a ghost from another world. My modern self is already dead." Ning Shengsheng admired her own strong heart and said carefully, "If I fail to complete the mission, I will be wiped out by the system at any time."
"My future is uncertain, so I dare not agree. After all, the word 'like' is too strong."
"How sad you would be if I suddenly disappeared."
After she finished speaking, she carefully watched Xue Chen's reaction.
Slightly cool fingers caressed the back of her neck, and soon, a soft voice reached her ears.
"Can I understand that Your Highness refused the mission because he was afraid of upsetting me?"
Okay!
Great, really hits the point.
"Yeah!" Ning Shengsheng nodded without hesitation. The most important thing now was to save her life.
"That's great." Xue Chen raised his head, his dark eyes looking into hers, "Your Highness likes me too."
How dare she say a word!
The person in front of me changed his expression and pinched a gray-white gas ball with two fingers.
"It dares not obliterate you."
The system didn't even dare to struggle, and looked at its host helplessly.
"Just in case, how about I kill it now?"
The slender fingers gradually tightened, and the air mass was squeezed into a messy shape.
Ning Shengsheng quickly stopped him, "No, the system is good, but it is also subject to..."
He pointed upwards.
"Just give it to me, okay?" She coaxed softly, and took the initiative to approach Xue Chen and hug him, "Xue Wuyin, I'm so scared when you do this."
"I like you the way you were."
The girl's furry hair rubbed against his chin.
Like, like...
Shengsheng said she liked him...
The coldness and sinisterness in Xue Chen's eyes were slightly dispelled by the person in his arms.
"As long as you like me, anything is fine."
He mentioned the system and warned in a sinister tone: "Your Highness will spare your life, and she will be your master from now on."
"If you dare to contact the higher-ups again, you know the consequences."
The system immediately expressed its loyalty, "I understand, I will serve the princess till death!"
Xue Chen bent his finger and flicked it.
The system was thrown back into Ning Shengsheng's sea of consciousness.
Ning Shengsheng breathed a sigh of relief silently. The evil Xue Chen was still able to listen to what she said.
Still thinking about what to do next.
The fragrance of orchids wrapped her tightly.
The young man lowered his head and hugged her, saying pitifully, "Shengsheng, I've wanted to call you that for a long time."
"Shengsheng, you really like me, right?"
"If not, don't tell me."
"Even if it's fake, I won't let it go."
“Shengsheng… Shengsheng…”
Xue Chen now looked like a pitiful puppy, begging her in an aggrieved tone.
Ning Shengsheng's brain is down.
People are confused.
Who can tell her?
Why does a person change so much in such a short time?
"Why are you ignoring me?"
The corners of the boy's eyes were stained with a layer of rouge, and his slightly furrowed brows accused her of being distracted.
This face is so lethal when it acts coquettishly!
"I, I'm not ignoring you." She blinked, and her fingertips couldn't help but poke his thin red lips.
"I really like you."
The boy's eyes moved slightly, and the corners of his eyes sparkled. When he heard the word "like", the corners of his mouth curled up cutely.
"Your Highness, I like you more."
"It's too noisy here, shall we go back to Begonia Pavilion?"
"good."
Ning Shengsheng thought about asking the system about everything after returning.
The people surrounding the ghost cultivator just dispersed.
Xue Chen walked out from behind the crabapple tree holding Ning Shengsheng's hand. Gui Ming saw them and came over to say hello.
"Protector Xue and the princess are out shopping?" Gui Ming, holding a huge bouquet of flowers, poked his skull out from the side.
"kindness."
Someone came to disturb him and Shengsheng.
Xue Chen looked worried, "Don't you have anything to do? The corridors of the palace haven't been demolished yet, go now."
"I just finished repairing Suzaku Street, rest..."
Gui Ming didn't dare to say the rest of the words.
The future ruler of Tianfeng Kingdom in front of him had a gloomy look in his eyes.
He said one more thing, it is difficult to keep a skeleton.
"I'll go right away, right away..."
He straightened his straw hat, marched in step, and ran back to the imperial city in a heroic and confident manner.
Ning Shengsheng pursed her lips tightly.
Prevent laughing out loud.
The two men had just taken a few steps when they heard people whispering.
"Our king and Princess Ning'an are holding hands outside, they look so loving!"
"Hey, we're getting married next month, what's the big deal!"
"Children are not allowed to watch. Go back now."
Ning Shengsheng's face turned red and she quickly let go of Xue Chen.
"don't want."
She turned around and saw the boy standing still and trying to play tricks on her, wrapping his hands around her stubbornly.
"We must hold hands, no matter where we are."
Xue Chen emphasized each word.
There were boos and screams from the crowd. Ning Shengsheng bit her lip shyly and pinched his palm hard.
Hold, hold, hold!
He is a love-brained person!
