Chapter 19 My Wife 19 A Third Person Encountered
Thinking about the foreshadowing he had laid earlier, although Lu Huai's train of thought was briefly interrupted by the changes in the plot, he was not to the point of being helpless in the current situation.
After communicating his plan with 0359, Lu Huai took down the timing bell and restored the flow of time in the small world. This was a prop issued by the company that would only work when the main system issued an important notice.
The silence was lifted overnight, and the surroundings came alive again. The laughter and cheers coming from the main banquet hall in the distance gradually became clearer, and the cold air in the side hall gradually touched the exposed skin.
Lu Huai once again met Shen Chensheng's beautiful eyes filled with complex emotions, panic, worry, and a hint of shyness.
His eyes followed the direction the "woman" opposite him was looking, and he was surprised to find that his hand was still tightly grasping Shen San's blue sleeve, trembling slightly like a mortal who had stolen the Seven Fairies' clothes and was anxiously waiting for an opportunity to force her to stay.
Qingrun Zhuangyuanlang felt as if he had touched a poisonous poppy, and quickly withdrew the hand that had betrayed him, fearing that he would break the rules by looking at him for one more moment, forget the restraints he had imposed on himself for many years, and become a prisoner under his skirt.
However, she didn't know that she had already become a treasure captured by the evil demon opposite her who was causing trouble for all living beings. Instead, she was caught by Chen Chensheng, whose slender wrist had dark blue veins more clearly visible due to nervousness, which made the person opposite her look deep in his eyes.
A sage once said, "If you repay evil with kindness, how can you repay kindness?" Lu Huai is not a completely kind and pedantic person. For the sake of righteousness in his heart, it is only natural for him to let things return to their original track.
He was about to break free from the shackles and explain to Shen Chensheng how to deal with his and his shameful appearance and how he would find a way to remove the suspicion from the two of them and let the person who really did the bad thing be the culprit who injured Bai Xianming.
However, the sound of footsteps approaching from the corridor connecting the main hall and the side hall made it impossible for him to continue his plan.
Lu Huai and Shen Chensheng looked at each other, and they tacitly hid in the closet of the dark side hall. The air inside was choking because it was closed, but at least the palace maids cleaned diligently, so it could be used for a while.
He pretended to hold his breath with his mouth closed. Shen San was also very smart and made the same preparation tacitly without him saying anything.
However, the space was so cramped and small that the two of them could clearly feel the softness of each other's bodies when they were so close to each other. They could even feel the hot breath leaking out from each other's noses. However, they felt involuntarily numb and itchy, and their bodies suddenly became hot. The unknown atmosphere in the closet was also constantly heating up.
He didn't dare look at Shen San, who was less than a fist away from him. This was the result of Lu Huai's desperate control of the bottom of the wardrobe. He simply turned his head and stared at a spot somewhere in the wardrobe where a beam of light was faintly pouring in, silently thinking about how to escape and deal with the situation.
The slender snow-white neck and the delicate ears that climbed up to the crimson color were completely exposed to the eyes of Shen Shensheng, whose breath was intertwined with his lower body. The urge to lick and taste it when the drug took effect just now burst out again, making the eyes of the predator who always claimed that he would not have any desire for any boring man become deep. It took a lot of effort to calm down the dirty idea of revealing his true face now in exchange for a moment of pleasure.
Don't do things that are inappropriate at the right time. This time, too many things have gotten out of control...
The two of them secretly prayed that the visitor was not coming to enter this side hall, but preferably wanted to go to other palaces, but their hopes were ultimately dashed.
A pair of shoes with brocade soles and cloud patterns stepped over the not-so-high threshold of the side hall and stepped firmly into the dim side hall, extinguishing the last bit of luck in the heart of the person in the cabinet.
By this time, Lu Huai had extinguished the candlestick, leaving the hall half dark and half dark. It was pitch black, impossible to see a thing. The man, however, persisted, groping in his pockets for something, seemingly lighting a candle to illuminate the inside. Suddenly, the darkness of the wardrobe was bathed in a warm yellow glow, just as it had been before, pitch black.
As the footsteps stopped not far away, Lu Huai and Shen San, who were curled up in the closet, realized that the person who came must have seen Bai Xianming lying unconscious on the ground, and the extinguished candlestick that fell to the side.
At this moment, the only thing he could do was to pray palely in his heart that the person who came was not here for the purpose, and that he would not go any further and would not look for other places to catch the murderer.
But they also knew that the probability of this happening was low, and they were ready to confront the newcomer directly, because they heard that there was only one person coming, and it was not the huge "catch the adulterer" team that Chen Meng had brought as they had expected.
Tension spread. Even though Shen Sheng was not an easy person to deal with, he had never faced such a critical and difficult moment. He groped around in panic, and found a soft piece of clothing, touched a warm chest, and then rubbed some sensitive part of Lu Huai's chest.
It was rare that he had no bad intentions at this moment, he just wanted to find a warm hiding place.
Unexpectedly, this random touching broke the last string in Lu Huai's nerves, who was already struggling to control his breathing, and he couldn't help but groan.
Shen Chensheng thought to himself, "Oh no!" Sure enough, the person came straight here, and suddenly the two people who were doing ambiguous actions in the closet were illuminated by the light, and their imaginative posture was directly seen by the people outside.
-------------------------------------
Cheng Ruochen just heard the strange palace maid say something to Lu Huai, and Lu Huai left in a hurry. It was even rude of him to ignore his questions and leave him there. Facing a group of enthusiastic officials who surrounded them like bees and butterflies, it would be a lie to say that he was not angry.
He just wanted to catch up with the person in front of him and frankly express his anxiety and resentment. He wanted to say that even a dog needs comfort from its owner.
Otherwise, a homeless vicious dog like him will have no sense of security at all, and he will find excuses out of grievance to temporarily throw away the shackles that he voluntarily put on his neck and do some inappropriate things.
But he couldn't. He was Lu Huai's "friend", his "brother", and he couldn't reveal his inferior thoughts, otherwise even that hateful Pei Yu would have a much better advantage than him.
Now that he has been put here, he should just do the task assigned to him by Lu Huai honestly.
If you think about it from another perspective, it seems that it would not be bad to deal with these annoying pedantic scholars for him in a tactful and generous manner, just like a virtuous mistress politely welcoming foreign guests and helping the busy master share his worries.
After thinking this way, Cheng Ruochen, who had become the "mistress" one day, became much more sincere when she toasted for her "brother".
The person those people really wanted to toast was not the third place winner who was chatting and laughing with them. Although those who had just met him thought he had a good impression, there were also some officials from the same class who had talked to Ruochen in the past.
You can judge a person by his appearance but not by his heart. Although the top scholar and the second place scholar were both distinguished persons with outstanding grace and talent, even though half a year had passed, Cheng Ruochen, who was not at all patient and polite like Lu Huai, and who said that what he wrote was worthless and whose comments on his article were sharp and arrogant, still cast a shadow over their hearts.
In addition, he himself was of humble origin, being the son of a merchant. He was worlds apart from Lu Huai, who had a clean background and was about to be promoted. The value of their friendship was not that high, and it was not worth it for them to lower themselves and make a special trip to make friends with him.
The young officials exchanged a few words, drank a glass of wine, and then forced a smile before leaving for the other side. Cheng Ruochen, having finally been liberated, felt a bit unsatisfied, and saw his beautiful fantasy come to an end. But finally being able to meet Lu Huai as he had intended was also a good thing.
Although he didn't hear the other words clearly, thinking of the "side hall" the maid had just mentioned, he was like a dog that had smelled a familiar scent, following the sweet scent of his master and went there. Thinking of the location of the side hall, he took out a candle and tucked it into his sleeve. He didn't expect that it would actually come in handy.
It was normal that no human voice could be heard in the dark and deep hall, but he could not be wrong in what he heard. Lu Huai must have come here.
Cheng Ruochen leaned forward unwillingly and was shocked when he saw a person lying on the ground with blood on his temples and unconscious. He was afraid that this was the person he loved, so he quickly leaned over to check.
He heaved a sigh of relief after seeing that it was the good-for-nothing eldest son of the Bai family, but then he thought, could it be that this man saw Lu Huai's beauty and wanted to do something disgusting to him, and wanted to force Lu Huai to resist?
Thinking of this, he was even more worried about what happened to Lu Huai. He wanted to tell him that he could share his worries with him, but he never expected to hear his sweetheart's depressed and angry voice and hurriedly pushed open the cabinet, only to see such a scene that made him want to tear his eyes apart...
