Chapter 192: Wait for me to come back
The tyrant touched her cheek with his slender fingers, and looked down at her with red eyes. Their eyes met and they remained silent for a long time.
Shen Tingyu just stood there in a daze, her red lips slightly parted.
His reaction speed was too quick, as if he had been waiting for me to appear.
The shock in his eyes was not the shock of her appearance, but the shock of not being able to touch himself.
Shen Tingyu raised his hand, and the big and small hands overlapped and merged, holding each other tightly: "That day... you guessed it a long time ago, you knew I was by your side..."
"So you know this is poisoned wine, and you're using your own life... to force me to show up."
The bad things she did to him secretly, the vanishing sweets, the incense offered as tribute, the windows that were accidentally closed, the inexplicable gazes and companionship, the sleeves fluttering in the windless air, the breeze that just brushed his cheek...
Those tiny clues hidden in the years gave Xin Hongying unspeakable hope, and he nodded in acknowledgment.
"I can feel that you have never left..."
He actually knew!
As Shen Tingyu listened, tears slowly flowed down her face, "You lunatic, if I hadn't shown up, would you..."
Xin Hongying looked at her distressedly: "If you don't want to see me, then I will drink this poisoned wine..."
Anyway, every moment without you is torture...
I finally caught you again!
"But...why can't I touch you?"
"Why!!"
Shen Tingyu smiled tearfully: "It's just a little magic."
[Task progress +10%, +10%, +10%... +8%, task progress value is 98%]
Ever since she appeared, the mission progress value has been increasing at an astonishing rate until it stagnated.
[Damn it, he actually lied to you, my poor host..., he was only 2% away from completion.]
Phew!
Gushing blood splattered on the door, followed by the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground, as if someone had been eavesdropping and was silently killed.
Looking closely at the silhouette, it was the palace maid who delivered the poisoned wine.
[Eh!]
With the silent death outside the window, the progress of the long-forgotten task finally began to advance, as if the Ren and Du meridians had been opened.
[Task progress +1%, the last important person dies, the mission progress value is 99%]
[Only 1% left, only 1% left! ]
Xiaoqi is going crazy!
Half of an incense stick of time had passed, and time was running out. Shen Tingyu could feel his soul slowly dissipating, and he slowly lowered his head.
"It's time for me to leave."
Obviously, Xin Hongying also discovered this. Although he didn't know what had happened, the scene before him still made him feel scared instinctively.
He seemed to have guessed something.
His stiff back trembled slightly as he bent it, trying as hard as he could to hold her tightly in his arms, forcing out a bright and brilliant smile.
"Don't be afraid, wait for me. I will accompany you on the road to the underworld. Please wait for me."
After saying this, he picked up the wine jug and was about to drink it all.
She didn't expect that the tyrant would go to such lengths for her. Shen Tingyu's pupils shrank, and she tried to stop him in panic.
"Your Majesty, no!"
"We will meet again, wait for me to come back, okay..."
"Believe me, I'm just leaving for a while to complete an important task. I'll be back after I'm done. You must stay alive and wait for me!"
The wine pot rested on his thin lips. Xin Hongying looked at her deeply with clear and sad eyes. Three words were printed on his eyes, almost pleadingly: "Don't lie to me."
Shen Tingyu understood his heart, and her heart ached, but she met his gaze without dodging, raised her head and gently touched his lips, soothing him.
"I'm not lying to you, really! I can swear! If what I said is false, I will..."
Xin Hongying stared at her red lips with longing, interrupting her words. His affectionate and sharp eyes seemed to want to carve her into his heart. "I believe you. You must come back soon!"
"I will always wait for you, don't forget me."
[Ding! Mission progress +1%. Congratulations to the host! You've completed the mission to cultivate a perfect ruler. Spread the flowers...]
[Woo woo woo, that's great, host, you don't have to be wiped out! ]
[Xiao Qi, I will help you revive now! If it's any later, host, you will really die.]
It’s so easy to coax you!
The last bit of the task progress value was finally completed. Shen Tingyu's heart was beating fast. He looked at the tyrant with extremely complicated eyes. He actually believed me so much.
Plop plop!
She could clearly hear her heart beating with joy because of him until she lost consciousness.
Xin Hongying's arms were stiff and he was lost in thought, maintaining the posture of holding her, and he was reluctant to move.
My mind is filled with her smiling voice and face, as if it were all a dream.
The person he loved most disappeared in his arms. Xin Hongying murmured silently in his heart: "Little liar, don't lie to me."
The body by the door had long since disappeared, but Xin Hongying knew exactly who she was and why she had poisoned herself on this very day.
Mother, I wanted to let you go...
…
"Host, wake up."
There was a noisy voice in her head that kept disturbing her sleep. She wanted to shut it up, but she couldn't move.
"It's too late. Her soul has dissipated too much. Xiaoqi, I can only help you up to this point."
It’s so noisy!
What is too late? What are the souls that have dissipated too much? What are they talking about?
She couldn't understand a word.
