You can have anything in your dreams.
Xu You feigned joy, but the bitterness in her mouth grew stronger and stronger.
He didn't love Chen Sheng, or perhaps he just happened to find the right person at the right time and just happened to want to live together.
That's all.
A few years ago, Xu You was the most outstanding in appearance among all the princes, but he was not popular. Only Li Jingshu, the eldest son of Grand Tutor Li, was on good terms with him.
Later, he fell in love with Ye Cangming, even at the cost of becoming enemies with his eldest sister. Still later, he joined forces with his second sister to kill his eldest sister, eliminating any future threats.
It seems that it was around that time that Li Jingshu began to dislike him, just like everyone else. Because Xu You had made his uncle a widow.
Five years ago, Ye Cangming was ordered to be executed, and the Ye clan gradually declined. Xu You also secluded herself at home.
Li Jingshu never contacted him again.
It wasn't until Chen Sheng appeared in front of him that Xu You discovered what Li Jingshu had been doing all these years.
If... he thought, if one day in the future he had to compete with Li Jingshu for the same person, the same position, the same item, then Xu You would give it to Li Jingshu.
Hopefully, I hope he will have the chance to live to see that time.
Chen Sheng didn't go far; he hid in the side room and listened to what was happening inside.
But it was so quiet inside that you could hear the sound of tea being brewed, and Xu You chuckled, but nothing else.
The silence was eerie. She was afraid Xu You might do something rash. What if Xu You regretted it…
Chen Sheng stopped her thoughts, shaking her head vigorously to clear her head until she felt dizzy. How could someone as smart as Xu You try to commit suicide! Hahaha, she was overthinking it!
Her immediate priority was to prepare for survival; she didn't want to die young.
"Miss, what are you looking for?" Li Mo asked, seeing Chen Sheng searching the room as he entered.
Chen Sheng stopped what she was doing and smiled sheepishly, "I just suddenly felt like practicing calligraphy and wanted to find some longer paper, but I didn't expect to make such a mess of the room."
Li Mo glanced at the study, which looked like a disaster zone, and couldn't help but facepalm. "Miss, I'll find it. You can rest."
Chen Sheng obediently nodded and sat quietly on the wooden chair, lost in thought. Ren Limo bustled about.
It has to be said that Li Mo's efficiency is really high. In no time, Li Mo brought a pile of Xuan paper and placed it in front of Chen Sheng, along with a small wooden box.
Chen Sheng opened the wooden box and saw that it was filled with calligraphy brushes. He flipped it over and found two inkstones underneath.
Chen Sheng had no skill in calligraphy; to put it simply, he was a complete novice who had never practiced it.
But the original owner's handwriting was very good!
“Young Miss, do you think this paper is enough? If not, there are more in the storage room,” Li Mo said.
Chen Sheng: "That's enough. I just wrote a few things on a whim. You don't need to write so much. Do you have anything to do? You can go now. I'll be fine by myself."
She pointed to the door, and her meaning was clear enough. Anyone with a modicum of intelligence knows that the direct translation of her words is, "I don't want you here. If you have nothing else to do, leave!"
But Li Mo shows no sign of leaving! What should we do?! I need help urgently!
"I suddenly don't want to write anymore, hahaha."
Chen Sheng chuckled a few times, trying to skip this part, but Li Mo didn't seem to buy it.
Li Mo: "Miss, let me grind the ink for you."
"..." Chen Sheng reluctantly walked to the desk, rolled up his sleeves, and looked like he was ready to die!
The process is important, but Chen Sheng believes it can be ignored.
After all, who would like someone who appears calm on the surface but is actually crying and complaining inside?
Chen Sheng, who has embarked on a path of silliness from which there is no turning back: "..."
Out of politeness (and feeling guilty), Chen Sheng kindly reminded Li Mo: "Don't leave the mansion these next few days unless you have to. Try to avoid suspicious people. If you really have to go out, take a few more people with you. That should be safer."
Li Mo was taken aback. "Is Miss worried about me?"
"Of course!" Chen Sheng made a "cheering" gesture. "After all, we're sisters! How could I not worry about you!"
Okay, it's because she hasn't been watching what she said these past few days and offended the male and female leads... Plus, Li Mo died around this time in the original story.
Oh, right...
Chen Sheng stared at Li Mo in surprise and bewilderment, her pupils dilating in shock – she perfectly captured the look of utter shock!
The original work is gone! That thick book of the original work in her head is gone! Her nearly million-word original work! Her life-saving original work…
On second thought, she already knew the ending. She could just recite the plot by heart. At most, she wouldn't remember the details. What was there to worry about?
Chen Sheng was internally giving up.
Li Mo said coldly, "Miss, I just remembered I have some matters to make arrangements, so I'll take my leave now."
"Okay, you should go quickly," Chen Sheng instructed. "If you have any free time today, could you please pass on a message to Si Nan for me?"
Li Mo frowned, but still agreed. Chen Sheng grinned and handed him a folded note, saying, "The message is on the note. Remember to give it to him personally, and don't let anyone else know."
Li Mo bowed and took his leave.
—The raging storm in my heart has finally subsided…
Chen Sheng slumped dejectedly into the armchair, staring at the crisscrossing beams and pillars, a feeling he couldn't quite describe filling his body.
Perhaps she could find something to distract herself.
For example, how about trying to appease Xu You?
Unfortunately, Chen Sheng's feelings for Xu You were not reciprocated. She was just about to knock on the door when she found it locked from the inside.
Which scene in the original novel is it like? Xu You's self-harm!
Chen Sheng felt horrified just thinking about it.
In the original text, Xu You not only rebelled against her in order not to get pregnant, but also harmed her own body in a self-destructive manner!
Even when "Chen Sheng" locked him in a secret room, he did not yield at all. After each time he finished, he was utterly despondent. If it weren't for the thought of Chen Han, he would not have lived to see "Chen Sheng" die.
What Xu You said yesterday sounded incredibly fake. It not only didn't fit his persona, but it was also full of loopholes and inconsistent with his past behavior! How could she be so foolish as to believe him?
Isn't this just running right into his plan?! Even though she doesn't know what he's up to...
But isn't Xu You's meaning quite obvious?
The more Chen Sheng thought about it, the more horrified he felt, and he quickly stopped thinking.
Chen Sheng, Chen Sheng, you might as well just call yourself a fool and stop embarrassing yourself here. That's what she was thinking.
Fortunately, the roof isn't too high, so there's a good chance that if you climb up, remove the tiles, and jump inside, the odds of success are quite high...
Did you think she was going to learn how to fly across rooftops like the protagonists in martial arts novels? Please, she's a main character in a romance novel... she's a supporting character.
Chen Sheng rested his chin on his hand, feigning deep thought.
Legend has it that you were willing to wait outside for love... willing to wait outside!
She was determined to go all in, but was Chen Sheng an ordinary person? Clearly not. She lacked the instinct to wait patiently under the scorching sun.
This morning, the Prime Minister said we could go shopping and have fun. Chen Han has already gone out, so what is she supposed to do? Wait to climb back onto the "List of Women Men Most Want to Marry"?
Clearly, Chen Sheng has no potential to build a harem; her pond only has Si Nan as a small fish, and she still wants to send him away.
Well, life is short, so we should enjoy it while we can!
