Chapter 194: Ending
For some reason, the first word that came to Shen Tingyu's mind was - substitute.
She felt as if someone had cut out a piece of flesh from her heart. Her face changed slightly and the back of her hand touched the hot tea.
With a bang, the hot tea was spilled on the ground.
The delicate skin on the back of the fair white hand was burned crimson and stung slightly.
"hiss……"
Shen Tingyu took a breath and murmured softly: “National Master…”
What a familiar name.
She wanted to know whether she was a substitute or..., otherwise she would always feel uneasy.
The fur coat with residual warmth was gently draped over her. Xin Hongying sat on the soft couch beside her and took out the ointment from her arms.
"Why are you sitting by the window playing chess all by yourself? Be careful of catching a cold in the wind."
He took her scalded hand and placed it on the chessboard. He dipped his fingertips in ointment and applied the milky white medicine layer by layer on her hand.
"My hand was burned, and I didn't know how to apply medicine. Does it still hurt?"
"Don't get your hands wet for the next few days. I will apply medicine to your hands every day until they no longer hurt."
His fingertips carried the warmth of his body, much warmer than her own hands. His gentle movements caused a shiver on her skin. When she tried to pull her hand back, he held it firmly.
"It's just a minor injury, I can handle it myself."
He raised his head and looked at Shen Tingyu steadily, with a faint smile on his lips and a little comforting, “Don’t worry, it will be fine soon.”
Xin Hongying had just come in from outside, with unmelted snow still on his inky hair. He was sitting opposite her. The steam rising from the gurgling hot tea gave him a layer of mystery. His handsome features looked a little hazy, but his expression was extremely focused.
The slender fingers dipped into the ointment and applied it carefully bit by bit.
Shen Tingyu's heart tightened. She suddenly realized that she didn't understand him or herself at all. She really wanted to know about their past and how they fell in love.
"Your Majesty, how did we meet? Can you tell me... about my past?"
She was a little looking forward to hearing about her past, but also a little nervous inside.
The hand applying the medicine paused, fingers curled slightly.
Xin Hongying slowly raised her head, pursed her lips, and her eyes flickered under the light, with complexity and entanglement in them.
His face suddenly turned cold. If the other palace maids were present, they would have been so scared that they were kneeling on the ground and trembling.
But in Shen Tingyu's opinion, his expression now looked more like fear.
Shen Tingyu didn't understand, what was he afraid of?
Wasn't their past as beautiful as he showed her now?
What exactly happened?
Shen Tingyu's desire for knowledge reached its peak. She looked at him seriously, her eyes so clear, quietly waiting for him to tell her everything.
Ignore those dark years, hold the uninjured hand tightly, and then you will have the courage to speak.
His Adam's apple slid up and down, and the moment Xin Hongying opened her mouth, her voice suddenly became hoarse.
"Since you want to know, I will tell you everything I know."
"When we met, it was just like that day, you fell from the tree, but it was spring then, and you were still a voodoo doll..."
Shen Tingyu was so stunned that she even doubted her ears and wondered if she had heard it wrong.
Or maybe Xin Hongying is lying.
She is the national teacher, and the national teacher is an immortal, an immortal who fell into the mortal world and hid in a voodoo doll. What a joke.
Even though she had lost her memory, her cognition was still that of an ordinary person. She couldn't believe that she was an immortal. This was something that went against her cognition.
But there was no trace of joking in Xin Hongying's expression.
When she came to her senses, she and Xin Hongying were already standing in front of the Imperial Master's Observatory, where they had been standing for a long time.
There are still few servants in the Observatory, and the building is simple and ancient with a touch of charm that makes people feel awe.
Although she had never been to this place before, she knew the layout here, as if fate was guiding her.
Shen Tingyu came to a room, a woman's boudoir. The room was exquisitely laid out, with a simple luxury everywhere. There were also some clever and quirky ornaments in the room, and a familiar feeling everywhere.
She followed her heart, walked to the bed, touched a secret compartment under the jade pillow, and took out a book.
Xin Hongying walked to her side and watched her open the book with her own eyes. The book was full of densely packed tadpoles, like some kind of text. Her eyes changed slightly, and she took a few steps back, quietly listening to the sound of pages turning.
The books of immortals are indeed not comprehensible to ordinary people.
That was the diary she wrote herself. Even though she had lost her memory, her cognition was still there. Shen Tingyu could naturally understand everything. She couldn't wait to read it, page after page.
The original novel, the tyrant, System Xiaoqi, props, voodoo dolls... and so on, all the things that seemed like fairy tales to her were happening right in front of her.
On the last page of the diary, there is a picture of a smiling ball.
In the end, the painting was not drawn by her. A voice in her heart told her that the ball was her system Xiaoqi.
Tears welled up in her eyes and were gently wiped away by a pair of big hands. She had no time to care about the owner of the big hands.
My fingertips stroked the stick figure...
Suddenly, the stick figure version of the small light ball moved, and Shen Tingyu could even see Xiao Qi blinking at him.
The familiar and comfortable warmth flowed from her fingertips to her whole body. Her eyelids became heavy, and the desire to fall asleep surged up again.
She closed her eyes, lost her balance and fell backwards. The last thing she saw was Xin Hongying, whose expression was terrified and whose eyes suddenly turned red.
Shen Tingyu wanted to tell him that she was fine and asked him not to worry, but she couldn't do anything.
[Congratulations to the host for discovering the surprise left by Xiaoqi. Is Xiaoqi happy to see you? o(*≧▽≦)ツ]
Thanks to the host completing the mission, Xiao Qi is no longer an intern. He has more energy and is stronger. That's why I can secretly preserve your memories for you, the host.
[Remember to thank Xiaoqi, and most importantly, don't forget Xiaoqi...]
[Xiao Qi will always miss you, host. This time I really have to say goodbye...]
【Host, Goodbye】
The memory could not wait to return to the body, Shen Tingyu remembered everything, and said silently in his heart:
Xiaoqi, thank you, goodbye, I will always remember you!
As she was sleeping outside, a crystal tear fell from the corner of her eye.
Shen Tingyu and Xiao Qi had known about this separation since the moment the mission was completed, but when they actually parted, they still felt empty in their hearts.
She was still a little uncomfortable with the absence of Xiaoqi's childish voice in her mind.
Shen Tingyu slept for a day and a night, and Xin Hongying stayed by her side, protecting her all day and night without sleeping, never leaving her side.
Shen Tingyu slowly woke up, his eyes bright and clear, his body showing no signs of fatigue from lying down for so long. In contrast, Xin Hongying had thick dark circles under his eyes.
"You finally woke up, are you feeling unwell?"
Xin Hongying's slender fingers touched her cheek, brushing away the scattered hair on her cheek. Her red eyes blinked quickly, covering up the madness hidden in them.
three times!
He had lost her three times, and he could no longer bear this feeling of despair.
If it happens again, he will go crazy!
Maybe he had gone crazy. He actually thought about hiding their past and lying to her, weaving a web of honey so that she could never leave him.
If she didn't want to, he even wanted to lock her up.
He is really crazy!
Shen Tingyu stood up, opened her arms, and rushed into his arms, hugging him tightly, clutching his clothes with her fingertips, tears in the corners of her eyes.
"Your Majesty, I'm fine. I remember everything."
"I'm back, I'm really back!"
"I'm never leaving again."
I can finally hug you!
A tear fell from her eye and gathered at her chin, wetting Xin Hongying's clothes and leaving a dark wet mark.
The madness in Xin Hongying's eyes melted into the tears in the corners of her eyes, disappearing little by little. With a force that seemed to give back, she hugged the person in her arms tightly.
How could he bear to hurt the person he loved the most!
The flickering candlelight cast their embracing shadows on the wall, so close and inseparable.
As the year was coming to an end, the Ministry of Rites had to prepare for the New Year and also collect things for the wedding. They worked hard and finally completed the collection within the month required by Your Majesty.
Mandarin duck pillow, red phoenix tent, dragon and phoenix candles.
Under the silhouette of the swaying wedding candles, two figures hugged each other tightly through the red gauze, their delicate eyebrows and eyes met, blinking with tenderness, and their eyes seemed to carry endless desire, which could devour the person in front of them in an instant.
A wet kiss ignited the fire of desire, the clothes were half off, and the candles were half lit.
Shen Tingyu's hair was already disheveled and she was sweating profusely. Her round nails slid across the muscles of Xin Hongying's shoulders and back, leaving a few red marks and a few unbearable groans, covered by a flushed veil.
The incense burner with the word "囍" on it began to emit curls of white smoke. The storm subsided, and Xin Hongying covered her with a quilt. Then, with a big hand, he scooped up Shen Tingyu and held her in his arms. The two of them fell asleep in each other's arms.
In the middle of the night, Xin Hongying, with beads of sweat on her head, suddenly woke up from her dream, "Fairy, don't go..."
He turned around and saw Shen Tingyu sleeping peacefully in his arms. He looked at her quietly with eyes full of affection. After confirming her existence, he suddenly relaxed and breathed a sigh of relief.
A gentle and compassionate smile appeared on the corner of his lips, and he left a soft kiss on her forehead as if cherishing her deeply.
"Fairy, I love you, please don't...leave me again."
Before dawn, Xin Hongying hugged Shen Tingyu, closed his eyes and fell asleep peacefully, his breathing returning to normal.
Shen Tingyu had woken up as early as when he woke up in shock. Hearing the words in his heart, her mood was as sticky and happy as honey.
Because she was teleported back by the system while she was asleep, she accidentally skipped the question that the tasker had to choose.
Return to the modern world, or stay.
But Xiao Qi thoughtfully extended the time for her choice by two hundred years. If she regretted it, she could still choose to return to the real world. That was Xiao Qi's love for her.
But she thought she would never have the chance to use it.
Shen Tingyu squeezed in, found a more comfortable position in Xin Hongying's arms, closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
She thought they would have countless more sweet moments like this.
Good night~
