Chapter 77: Uneasy
"Let's go!" Shen Tingyu was dragged out of the casino by Xin Hongying.
"Why?"
At first, Shen Tingyu didn't know why he had to leave, and he was being dragged away.
After remembering something, she widened her eyes in shock, looked at the tyrant's back, felt her scalp tingling, and her frantic steps were covered with cold sweat.
The two turned left and right and entered a narrow and deserted alley.
"It's safe." Xin Hongying stopped.
Shen Tingyu stared at him blankly with wide eyes, her expression frozen. Her eyes moved slightly, wondering why the tyrant suddenly pulled her away.
She had a hunch that it was because the expiration date of her transformation pill was almost up!
In the past, Xiao Qi would always remind her diligently, but today she was secretly estimating the time. Could it be that she was too slow?
But... why would the tyrant know!
As she was thinking, a faint white light flashed, and Shen Tingyu's pupils contracted violently. She guessed correctly, the tyrant really discovered...the time-limited disadvantage of the Transformation Pill.
The palm-sized doll appeared again and was caught by the tyrant in time.
Shen Tingyu squatted down in disbelief, hugging his arms nervously with both hands, and felt cold all over.
The tyrant was much smarter and more perceptive than she knew!
How did he find out…and how much of his own secrets did he discover?
"Why did you suddenly drag me away from the gambling house?" Shen Tingyu raised her head with a stubborn face, as if she would not give up until she got an answer.
Xin Hongying frowned slightly: "The fairy takes one hour to transform each time, it's not hard to guess."
Is it really just like that?
Shen Tingyu was absent-minded along the way, and his mind wandered to the outer world, so he didn't even realize when he returned to their original courtyard.
The yard was quiet, with only a peach tree. Under the tree was a stone table with a chessboard carved on it. In the past, the two of them would sit on the stone table and play chess.
Shen Tingyu sat cross-legged in it, feeling uneasy.
The system has left temporarily, and her protective shield is only left with this piece of skin. Her identity must not be stripped off.
As the peach blossoms fell on her, she had already thought a lot.
Slender fingers lifted the petals that had fallen on her body and waved his index finger in front of her face, "What are you thinking about?"
Shen Tingyu suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, smiled and shook his head.
“Turn around and see the surprise I prepared for you.” Shen Tingyu hadn’t noticed that there was a hint of nervousness in Xin Hongying’s cold voice.
Shen Tingyu turned around, and a house with poor carpentry that looked like a wooden box appeared in front of her. It was put together so cobbled together that it looked like it could fall apart at any time.
Even so, there is a small swing in the yard, and the workmanship of the swing is more exquisite than the others.
Shen Tingyu covered his mouth and exclaimed, “Your Majesty, did you do all this by yourself?”
It can be seen that the wooden house was built in the style of the current courtyard. She pushed open the bamboo door and saw a soft bed, a wardrobe... everything that existed in the courtyard was also inside.
Although the wooden house was simple, it was sincere enough, and Shen Tingyu was so moved that she almost burst into tears, but she couldn't shed a single tear.
Xin Hongying said an expressionless 'hmm', "It's a bit simple, not as comfortable as the small palace in the palace, but it can be used. The fairy no longer has to curl up on the cold table at night and wake up in the middle of the night when she falls to the ground."
His voice was light, and his cold eyes showed a hint of expectation.
"So you know everything." Shen Tingyu was shocked. He was sleeping peacefully at the time and she thought he didn't know.
The better the tyrant treated her, the more guilty she felt.
Because except for the body of the voodoo doll, everything else is fake, the fairies, the magic spells..., all are fake. Even the plot she knows has been completely changed due to the butterfly effect.
The uneasiness that Shen Tingyu had just suppressed in his heart surged up like a wave, and he stood there with his hands and feet stiff, not knowing how to react.
She really wanted to say that she was a liar and that she shouldn't be so nice to her.
She was worried that after she completed the task, she would miss his kindness to her.
She was also worried. What if the tyrant discovered that her fairy identity was fake and she was just an empty shell with no power? Would he still treat her well as he does now?
This uneasiness made her feel as if she was thrown back into the past, quietly tearing open the scar in her heart.
"Remember, your parents divorced because you were useless. If you were a boy, your dad would come home every day..."
"My parents said your family is bankrupt and told me not to hang out with poor people, so we're not best friends anymore. Wait until you have money, then come play with me again. You don't deserve my kindness right now..."
"Thank you for teaching me Go. Although my words may not sound nice, I still have to say that your Go skills are no longer worthy of mine. I can finally break up with you..."
“…”
There was no smile on the fairy's face, and she looked a little sad. Her usual lively expression became stiff. Xin Hongying was stunned. "Don't you like it?"
"I like it!" Shen Tingyu forced himself to break away from his uneasy and depressed mood and squeezed out a smile.
With clattering legs, he sat on the swing and tried to make it move: "This swing is good. It looks stronger than the one in the palace."
She really liked this cabin. Nuannuan's action was very thoughtful, especially since Tyrant had spent several days making it. She didn't want him to misunderstand her.
Xin Hongying could sense her sudden downturn and thought it was just his own clumsiness.
She didn't like the wooden house she built with her own hands, and glanced sideways to hide the flash of loss in her eyes.
That day they investigated the situation of the Miao chef.
His surname is Miao. He fled from Miaojiang with his mother when he was young. Later, he lived in Yunzhou City, gradually integrated into the place, and never returned to Miaojiang.
He grew up with a local girl. They were childhood sweethearts and got married with the blessing of their parents. They were very loving.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. After his wife suffered a difficult childbirth, her health became poor and she was often sick. She was bedridden for many years, and his mother also passed away.
They decided to start with his wife and play the sympathy card.
The next day, after Manhualou closed, they brought a famous doctor from Yunzhou City to the store.
Bang bang bang!
Slender fingers knocked rhythmically on the door.
The footsteps were getting closer, and the door to the yard was carefully opened a crack. Through the gap, half of the girl's bright and playful face was revealed.
She looked Xin Hongying up and down, her eyes hinting at a hint of vigilance: "Who are you?"
Shen Tingyu was startled. Isn't this Chef Miao's home? How could a strange girl come out to open the door?
Looking at her rosy complexion and healthy temperament, she doesn't look like the wife of Chef Miao who is rumored to be bedridden all year round!
Either the waiter lied about the address and this wasn't Chef Miao's home, or Chef Miao deliberately gave someone a false address so they wouldn't find his home.
Of course, there is another possibility, that is, Chef Miao’s wife is not sick at all.
She is pretending to be sick!
