Chapter 37, Chapter 15: The Heir Apparent's Wife
Oh wow!
Yu Wanwan's eyes lit up, and she held it up with great interest, almost looking in that direction.
This has nothing to do with her.
He woke up on his own!
I wonder if that love-at-first-sight card will work on the two boys.
Xu Qingzhou held Xu Mingche's hand, his eyes filled with doubt.
A soft couch was placed by the window, and a few rays of sunlight shone on Xu Mingche, as if a filter had been applied to him.
He was dressed in a blue robe, leaning slightly forward, his figure tall and slender. His peach blossom eyes, which bore a six or seven-point resemblance to Xu Qingzhou's, held a glimmer of light.
Xu Qingzhou suddenly felt a dryness in his throat, his vision blurred, and his heart raced.
He couldn't help but wonder, when did Xu Mingche become so handsome and pleasing to the eye?
He gripped his hand tighter, his thumb unconsciously rubbing against his dry skin.
Xu Mingche froze, goosebumps rising all over his body.
He tried to pull his hand away, but Xu Qingzhou instinctively gripped it even tighter.
Xu Mingche froze, his pupils dilated slightly, and his voice trembled.
"Big...Big Brother?"
What is this for?!
Xu Qingzhou suddenly woke up with a start. After realizing what he was doing, she was so frightened that she jerked him away and shrank back as if she had been electrocuted, moving away from Xu Mingche.
Despite this, Xu Mingche's stiff expression still looked incredibly beautiful to him.
Even more unbelievable was that, seeing his bewildered and panicked state, he actually felt a strong urge to hug him, to pity him, and even… kiss him…
Xu Qingzhou turned his head away in a disheveled manner, closing his eyes and not daring to look anymore.
"Stay away from me!"
Damn it, he seems to be broken!
He used tremendous force, and Xu Mingche was almost thrown to the ground.
Xu Mingche looked bewildered, innocent, and at a loss, and turned to look at Yu Wanwan sitting at the table.
Who would have thought that when he turned his head, he would meet her bright, sparkling eyes, which held a strange excitement in them.
"..."
I always felt that she wasn't thinking anything good.
No, no, no, it must be my imagination. My sister-in-law is such a good person, how could she be thinking bad things?
Xu Mingche forcefully suppressed that slight unease.
"Sister-in-law, are you sure we don't need to call a doctor for my brother?"
Yu Wanwan blinked.
"Need not."
Why bother consulting a doctor? Is this something a doctor can solve?
Upon hearing Yu Wanwan's voice, Xu Qingzhou finally belatedly remembered what had happened before he lost consciousness.
When he looked into Xiaotang's eyes, he felt as if he were being stared at by something. That chilling feeling still makes him shudder when he thinks about it now.
Although he didn't know what had happened, he had a gut feeling that his current unusual condition was inextricably linked to Xiaotang.
Xu Qingzhou pinched her palm, trying to calm herself down. She didn't dare to look at Xu Mingche, afraid that she wouldn't be able to control the inexplicable impulse in her heart.
"Madam, you should probably call a doctor to take a look."
Yu Wanwan looked at him, and he was staring at her intently, his whole body tense, not giving Xu Mingche a single glance.
I almost laughed.
"Alright, just wait."
"etc!"
Xu Qingzhou quickly called out to her, glancing haphazardly at the still bewildered Xu Mingche.
He glanced at her briefly, then quickly looked away, focusing his gaze on Yu Wanwan.
"Mingche, you go!"
Xu Mingche actually didn't want to stay here either.
Although he didn't understand what was wrong, he felt that Xu Qingzhou was acting strangely, which made his scalp tingle and his back feel cold.
Without any hesitation, he nodded hastily, clasped his hands in greeting to the two men, and quickly left the room, fleeing from there.
With Xu Mingche no longer in the private room, the urge to see him and hug him, which I could never control, finally disappeared.
Xu Qingzhou was still worried, so he waved to Yu Wanwan.
"Madam, come here for a moment."
Yu Wanwan raised her eyebrows, her smile gentle, yet she remained steadfast and unyielding.
"do what?"
"Come here for a second!"
Yu Wanwan shook her head.
"No."
"..."
Xu Qingzhou gritted his teeth.
Fine, you won't come over, huh? Well, he can come over there then!
Although he was unconscious for a while, Xu Qingzhou felt perfectly fine and was full of energy.
He rolled off the bed and ran to Yu Wanwan in a flash.
Yu Wanwan smiled and looked at him without moving.
"What... are you doing?"
Before she could utter a single word, Xu Qingzhou suddenly reached out, grabbed the back of her head, bent down, and kissed her.
For about half a year, he had been spending his time with books, carrying a faint scent of ink, mixed with the fragrance of herbs that belonged to her soul.
These scents enveloped her, engulfing her completely.
Yu Wanwan was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously opened her mouth to absorb the luck emanating from him.
Unlike the brief encounter in the carriage before, this time, Xu Qingzhou held her tightly, deepening their entanglement.
The intense aura emanating from him surged towards her, leaving her mesmerized.
After a long while, Xu Qingzhou finally stopped, bent over, and pressed his forehead against hers, panting.
"lady……"
Very good!
He still likes women!
Sure enough, those inexplicable thoughts I had about Xu Mingche just now must have been Xiaotang's doing!
It's not that there's anything wrong with him!
He held her chin with one hand, his thumb caressing her moist, red lips.
"You didn't dodge..."
Yu Wanwan looked up and met his eyes.
"Hmm, so what?"
Xu Qingzhou smiled, a hint of flirtatiousness in his eyes.
"So, Madam actually likes me too, doesn't she?"
Yu Wanwan smiled with pursed lips, and Xu Qingzhou's eyelids twitched.
The next moment, unsurprisingly, he was kicked to the ground by her.
Yu Wanwan straightened her clothes and glanced at him sideways.
"You have a good appearance and family background, and your figure is also quite good."
Her expression was relaxed, and she smiled sweetly.
"Besides, you offered yourself up voluntarily, and I don't have to take responsibility for you, so why are you hiding?"
"???"
What kind of scumbag woman's statement is this?
Xu Qingzhou scratched at the floor, silently withdrawing into himself.
Yu Wanwan's lips curled up slightly.
So why didn't you dodge?
The male protagonist believed that story, but the creature didn't!
Yu Wanwan held the teacup and sipped it slowly.
She refused the good fortune that was given away for free because she was sick.
Besides, you said you'd kiss and hug him more often to get some of his good luck.
[...]
Who scoffed at this suggestion before?
If she insists on saying it that way, then so be it, as long as she's happy.
Don't get yourself into trouble.
Yu Wanwan scoffed lightly.
over thinking.
Daoguo considered her personality and felt that its reminder was a bit unnecessary, so it simply stopped talking.
Xu Qingzhou remained silent for a while before finally getting up from the ground.
Where is Xiaotang?
"I threw it out."
Yu Wanwan looked completely at him as if it were the most natural thing in the world, and even kindly offered him advice.
"She's probably crying somewhere right now. If you want to find her, go outside and ask around on the street. Maybe someone will know."
"..."
Xu Qingzhou remained silent for a few seconds.
"never mind."
He just wanted to ask Xiaotang what she had done to him.
But think about it, how could she possibly tell him the truth?
Moreover, her methods were a bit strange. If he hadn't been prepared and had just gone over there, he might have fallen for her trick.
The doctor arrived quickly, but Xu Mingche didn't dare go in and waited outside the private room.
Xu Qingzhou was tricked by a prop card, not poisoned, so of course nothing can be found out.
Based on the symptoms he had just described, the doctor prescribed some medicine to help him recover and then left.
After this incident, they didn't linger outside and returned to their ancestral home.
On the way back, Xu Qingzhou refused to ride in the same carriage as Xu Mingche no matter what, and shamelessly sidled up with Yu Wanwan instead.
He really wanted to ask Xu Mingche what happened after he fell into a coma.
Tinglan only knew that he had suddenly fainted, and that Yu Wanwan had reacted quickly and pulled him out of Xiaotang's arms.
Afterwards, she went out to deal with Xiaotang and her servant's affairs, and since she wasn't in the private room, she didn't know what had happened.
As for asking Yu Wanwan?
The only answers I got were perfunctory; I couldn't get any answers at all.
But now he acts strangely whenever he sees Xu Mingche, and he doesn't even dare to meet him alone, let alone ask him about these things.
After returning, Xu Qingzhou tapped his system.
Although his system is essentially just for show and won't appear in the mission world.
But he can still access the system panel.
This panel is like a customer service channel where users can input any questions they may have.
Whether we can get an answer remains to be seen.
At least the questions he has raised so far have all gone unanswered.
Xu Qingzhou hadn't held out much hope this time either.
Unexpectedly, the system, which had been feigning death, quickly provided an answer.
[Upon comparison, the abnormality on the host's body is similar to the effect of the item cards in the strategy system.]
[Detection has revealed that Xiaotang possesses a strategy system. Host, please be extremely careful.]
Upon learning the truth, Xu Qingzhou felt like a herd of grass mud horses was galloping through his heart.
How could she have a system?
Isn't the system his personal property?
Moreover, depending on the situation, Xiaotang's system is in constant contact with her in the mission world, and can even help her.
It's completely different from his decorative system.
So how should he deal with that system?
If other systems threaten him, shouldn't his system do something about it?
[The strategy guide system and this system's tasks do not conflict, and this system has no right to interfere.]
Xu Qingzhou was so angry that his stomach ached.
Why is it that other people's systems can help their hosts, but his system is treated like royalty?!
Why is he so unlucky?
Fortunately, this item card didn't last very long.
The effect had already dissipated, at least before the provincial examination.
Xu Qingzhou finally found an opportunity to ask Xu Mingche what happened after he fell into a coma that day.
Because Xu Qingzhou kept avoiding him, Xu Mingche wasn't actually bothered at all.
When they met again, Xu Qingzhou had returned to normal and no longer looked at him with those strange eyes.
This relieved Xu Mingche greatly, allowing him to assume that he had just woken up from a coma and was still not fully conscious that day.
Xu Mingche didn't hide anything and honestly told them everything that happened afterward.
This includes the incident where Yu Wanwan asked him to get a strip of cloth to blindfold him.
Xu Qingzhou immediately grasped the key point.
"She told you to blindfold me with strips of cloth? Why?"
