Chapter 110: Ambiguity
Seeing that Rong Chen was serious and didn't seem to be lying, Shu Wan chose to believe him.
"Is that so?" She pretended to be calm and said, "Then you are really timid. I am not afraid..." Before Shu Wan finished her words, there was thunder and lightning outside again.
This time, before she could scream out of fear, Rong Chen quickly hugged her.
Lying in Rong Chen's arms, Shu Wan felt an indescribable sense of peace.
After the thunder passed, Shu Wan slowly raised his head.
"What are you doing?"
Why did Rong Chen suddenly hug her? "I'm scared!" Rong Chen replied very seriously.
"Oh!" Shu Wan lowered her head. "Then you are really useless!" She spoke in an attempt to cover up her mistake.
"Princess, please don't tell anyone. I'm afraid of thunder!" Rong Chen laughed in the darkness, "Otherwise, if people find out, they will laugh at me!"
"Okay, I won't tell anyone!" Shu Wan nodded in agreement, as if it was indeed embarrassing to let others know that she was afraid of thunder. She could empathize with this.
"Thank you, Princess!" Rong Chen continued to distract her, "Princess, you are such a good person!"
"Of course!" Shu Wan was so proud of the compliment, "You know it now!"
"You will definitely know more in the future!" Rong Chen said meaningfully.
Unfortunately, Shu Wan didn't understand.
After a while, Shu Wan no longer heard thunder, so she looked up again.
"It seems there is no thunder!"
But after she said this, God struck with a powerful thunder.
"It looks like there will be thunder tonight!" Rong Chen said with great regret, "Princess, can you take me in?" He looked like a little pet that might be abandoned by its owner at any time, looking so pitiful.
"No!" Shu Wan refused righteously, "A man and a woman alone..." She thought to herself, could Rong Chen have any improper thoughts about her? "But I don't dare to go back alone!" Rong Chen continued to play the victim! "But you can't..." If this gets out, what kind of talk will it be? Will her reputation be ruined?
"Princess, can you please have mercy on me?" Rong Chen said in a tone that seemed like he was about to cry, "Can you just stay with me and talk? I'll leave when the thunder stops."
Shu Wan felt soft-hearted for a moment and couldn't say no.
"But..." Shu Wan wanted to say something.
"There's nothing to worry about." Rong Chen interrupted her, "Does the princess want me to be discovered to be afraid of thunder?" He had to quickly dispel the little girl's doubts.
"Oh..." Shu Wan said "oh" and then stopped talking.
"Let's just talk, I'll leave when the rain stops!" Rong Chen continued.
"Oh!" Shu Wan said "Oh" again.
"Then what should we talk about?" Shu Wan suddenly asked after a while.
"Hmm..." Rong Chen thought seriously, "Princess, why don't you tell me about what happened before I lost my memory, what kind of person I was before, the people and things around me, and..."
"Anything else?" Shu Wan asked.
"That's all, let's just talk about this for now!" Rong Chen replied.
"Oh." Shu Wan nodded. "Then do you know that you have a nickname in Blackwater City? Do you know what it is?" She suddenly wanted to see what Rong Chen's expression would be when he heard the nickname given to him by others after losing his memory.
"What?" Rong Chen was quite interested.
"Living King of Hell!" Shu Wan looked at him and said word by word.
"Living King of Hell?" Rong Chen was surprised. "How can there be such a strange nickname?" He was full of disbelief.
"Maybe it's because you're too scary!" Shu Wan didn't know the origin of his nickname. "Anyway, in Blackwater City, everyone is afraid of you from the bottom of their hearts. If a child cries at night, the parents of that family will scare them, saying that if you cry again, the city lord will know and he will eat you up. Then the child will definitely shut up and stop crying immediately!" Shu Wan climbed up from his arms, sat cross-legged in front of him, and spoke vividly.
"The rumors are not credible, not credible!" Rong Chen shook his head repeatedly, "How could a person as gentle as jade like me be a cannibal? Who on earth made the rumor about me so terrible?" He looked unconvinced.
"Wen, Rui, Ru, Yu?" Shu Wan looked at him in shock, blurting out word by word, "Lord City Lord, I'm afraid there is some misunderstanding about you?" Shu Wan couldn't help laughing.
Then, without waiting for Rong Chen to refute, she spoke again.
"Do you know how the people in the city describe you?" Then, without waiting for his answer, she asked and answered herself, "They all say that you are three meters tall. Ordinary people standing in front of you are like an ant standing in front of an elephant. You have three heads, six arms, a green face and fangs, and your eyes glow green. If you don't like someone, you will open your bloody mouth and swallow the person in one gulp." Shu Wan gestured to him with her hands and feet, laughing as she spoke. Of course, most of these were made up by her. Although the rumors were exaggerated, they had not reached this point.
"Then what kind of person am I in the eyes of the princess?" Rong Chen couldn't help but laugh with her.
"I don't know!" Shu Wan didn't mean to lie. It was true that she didn't know Rong Chen.
"Is that so!" Rong Chen seemed to be thinking about something. "I thought that since the princess came all the way to save me, we must be very good friends!" He shook his head regretfully.
"I didn't know you before!" Shu Wan answered truthfully, "My knowledge of you is limited to what I heard from others. As for me marrying..." Shu Wan accidentally slipped up and almost said something outrageous.
"What?" Rong Chen saw that she stopped talking immediately, so he took the opportunity to ask.
"I mean... yes!" Shu Wan's eyes rolled around, "As for my family, they don't seem to know much about you. So, I haven't heard much about you on a daily basis." Shu Wan took a lot of effort to make up his mind.
"Is that so?" Rong Chen lowered his eyes.
"Yes, that's it!" Shu Wan made the final decision.
"Then Princess, can you tell me, although I have lost my memory, why do I always feel that I am married? This feeling is too strong. So Princess, do you know the name of my wife at home, how old she is, and what kind of person she is?" Rong Chen seemed very distressed.
"Didn't I tell you that you don't have a wife?" Shu Wan glared at Rong Chen. "And, Rong Chen, since you think you are married, why do you have to stay alone with this princess in the middle of the night? Aren't you afraid that your wife will find out and kill you?" Why is he bringing up things that are irrelevant? This guy is really something. Can he not bring up this?
"But Princess, didn't you say that I don't have a wife at home? That's why I..." Rong Chen felt aggrieved.
"Now that I've said that, why are you asking?" Shu Wan's voice rose unconsciously, "Why do you have to remember this when you can remember something else!" She couldn't help but roll her eyes at Rong Chen.
"Princess, don't be angry." Rong Chen spoke nonsense in a serious tone, "The princess just said that if I really had a wife, then it would be unreasonable for you to be alone with me. But now that the princess has said it herself that I am not married, then there is no need for you to worry!" She nodded continuously as she spoke, feeling that what she said made sense.
"Why do you say that as if I..." Shu Wan's expression was indescribable, as if he had some improper thoughts about you.
"What does the princess look like?" Rong Chen pretended not to see the confusion in her eyes and asked even though he knew the answer.
"Nothing!" Shu Wan yelled at him, "Don't ask me this kind of question in the future. If you ask, the answer is no. If you don't believe it, go back and ask your mother yourself!" She kept muttering to herself, and her dissatisfaction with Rong Chen reached an extreme.
Just at this moment, there was thunder again. This time, Rong Chen didn't need to stretch out his hand. Shu Wan had already easily moved into Rong Chen's arms.
With such a soft, fragrant and beautiful girl in his arms, Rong Chen couldn't help but be distracted.
Lying in Rong Chen's arms like this, Shu Wan's anger almost dissipated in an instant.
"Don't get me wrong!" After the thunder passed, Shu Wan stammered to explain, "I hugged you because I was afraid that you would be scared. Don't think too much!" Her attempts to cover up made things even more obvious.
"Yes!" Rong Chen said with full confidence, "I know, the princess is doing this to protect me."
Hearing him say this, Shu Wan felt a little embarrassed and felt that she had deceived Rong Chen.
"Then you have to owe me a favor!" He said this.
"Okay." Rong Chen agreed happily, "Princess, you have been so kind to me. I have no way to repay you. Why don't I..." He deliberately didn't finish his words.
"As opposed to what?" Shu Wan didn't know what he was thinking, but he suddenly remembered a sentence: The only way to repay a great favor is to repay it with my body!
Then she blushed silently.
I felt that I must be sick. Why would I suddenly think of such a mess? "I mean, why don't I owe the princess a condition first!" Rong Chen's mouth curled up wildly, "If the princess needs me someday, as long as you ask, I will go through fire and water without hesitation!"
"Okay, I'll remember that!" Shu Wan was quite satisfied with getting a promise for nothing. "But you have to give me a written receipt or something. Otherwise, if you regret it one day, where can I complain?" Shu Wan was not really afraid that he would not admit it, she just wanted to play around.
"But I don't have any writing brush, ink, paper, or inkstone right now. It's really difficult!" Rong Chen said seriously, "Tomorrow, I will write a written agreement for you. Is that okay with you?"
"I'll trust you this time!" Shu Wan said proudly, "If you dare to go back on your word, I'll tell everyone else that you're afraid of thunder!"
"I dare not, I dare not!" Rong Chen quickly begged for mercy.
This made Shu Wan smile, looking very adorable.
"Are you hungry?" Rong Chen thought. She went to bed as soon as she came back and hasn't had dinner yet.
"A little bit!" Shu Wan nodded honestly, "But the servants should all be asleep now. It wouldn't be very fair to wake them all up!" She touched her belly and felt that she should be able to hold on until tomorrow.
"Come with me!" Rong Chen took her hand and was about to leave.
"Where are you going?" Shu Wan asked him.
"Let's go to the kitchen quietly and see if there is anything to eat!" Rong Chen turned around and answered her in a low voice.
"Okay!" Shu Wan climbed down from the bed using his hands and feet.
Then the two of them sneaked into the kitchen, acting like thieves the whole time, looking left and right for fear of being discovered.
But the two of them searched the kitchen and found nothing edible.
The two looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.
"I just saw some noodles over there. Let's cook some noodles!" Now that he was here, Shu Wan didn't want to return empty-handed.
"You can also cook noodles?" Rong Chen seemed surprised.
"Of course, the noodles I cook are delicious!" Shu Wan's chin was about to be lifted to the sky, "Do you want to try it?"
"I do!" Rong Chen nodded like a chick pecking at rice.
"Okay, then let's cook noodles!" Shu Wan made the decision.
"Then I'll help you make a fire!" Rong Chen volunteered to fetch firewood.
"Okay." Shu Wan did not refuse his kindness.
Before long, two bowls of fragrant noodles were served on the table.
"It looks so delicious!" Rong Chen put his head on the table and almost drooled.
"Of course!" Shu Wan came over with two pairs of chopsticks, "Try it!" Then he handed the chopsticks to Rong Chen.
Rong Chen took the chopsticks and couldn't wait to take a bite.
"Mmm, it's delicious!" Rong Chen kept nodding and praising, "This is really the most delicious noodles I have ever eaten!" But in fact, this is just an ordinary bowl of noodles. It is only because of the person who cooked the noodles that he feels it is better than all the delicacies in the world.
"It's delicious, right?" Shu Wan was naturally very happy when someone praised his cooking skills.
"Hmm, delicious!" Rong Chen said as he took another mouthful of noodles.
Seeing this, Shu Wan actually felt that the noodles he cooked tonight were particularly delicious! "By the way, where is your follower?" Shu Wan suddenly remembered that he hadn't seen Feng Ling for two days, so he asked casually, "Why didn't I see him?"
"Let him go out to work!" Rong Chen answered ambiguously.
Shu Wan didn't ask any more questions.
After they finished eating, they put down their bowls and prepared to leave.
But the noise they made was discovered by the servants who were patrolling at night.
"Wait, why does there seem to be some noise in the kitchen?" Outside the kitchen, a nanny said to her companion.
Hearing this, Shu Wan and Rong Chen hurriedly looked for a place to hide, but there was really no place in the kitchen for both of them to hide.
The only place where people can hide is behind the stove, but obviously it can't accommodate two people. But the situation is urgent now, so they have to hide even if they can't.
Rong Chen pulled Shu Wan and hid behind the stove.
"No, did you hear it wrong?" came the voice of another servant.
"Let's go and take a look!"
"good!"
Then I heard the sound of two people pushing the door and approaching the kitchen.
The two of them squatted down and found that they couldn't get pale even if they squatted down. Rong Chen slid down to the ground and hid himself, but Shu Wan's head was still standing there brightly, and he had already walked in.
At the critical moment, Rong Chen thought quickly and grabbed Shu Wan's head and pressed him down.
The consequence of doing this was that Shu Wan completely climbed on top of him.
Sugar, sugar, you’ll be eating glass shards in two days.
