After quickly wearing the second male lead who was rejected

Chapter 215: Is it an illusion? (11)

Murong Heng's eyes darkened. He wasn't one to forget things easily. He half-closed his eyes and looked at the sleeping Gu Chang, thinking about asking Gu Chang to send someone to investigate what happened that night tomorrow morning.

Then Murong Heng got on the bed next to Gu Chang and fell asleep with her eyes closed.

After playing Tetris, Gu Chang wanted to review Murong Heng's memories from childhood to adulthood.

Then he recalled the scene where Murong Heng was drinking at the pavilion in the middle of the lake.

Gu Chang felt something was wrong because the wine Murong Heng drank that night was not the kind he usually drank.

"System, have you checked Murong Heng's physical condition?" Gu Chang knocked on the system.

The system shook its head. "No, host, do you want to test it?"

On the other side, Nie Qingxue and Wen Shuan took a temporary rest in Xiaoyu Town and would continue their journey to Zhu Kingdom tomorrow morning.

The farther away from Shengjing City, the more Nie Qingxue could feel the earth-shaking changes in accommodation conditions. In Shengjing City, she could live in an exquisite and clean No. 1 room, but the inn in Xiaoyu Town was really just a place to sleep.

She even had to collect hot water for washing in a basin herself, but Wenshu An had brought a servant with her, so she didn't have to do this hard work herself.

Nie Qingxue stood beside the simple bed, looking at the patched bedding and smelling the moldy smell of wood in the room. She pursed her lips, walked to the window and opened two windows to let in some fresh air.

In the moonlight, Nie Qingxue looked at the street scene below.

She told herself in her heart: Qingxue, as long as we can get through these few more days, we will be able to return to the Kingdom of Zhou.

Nie Qingxue wanted to clench her hands hanging at her sides, but then she remembered that she was still injured, so she lowered her head to look at her hands.

"Master Wen's scar-removing ointment is really good. I can ask him where he bought it tomorrow. If I know the formula, I can also use this scar-removing ointment on my Zhiyage." Nie Qingxue murmured to herself.

Zhiya Pavilion was a shop she founded, which not only sold various rouges and powders, but also skin care ointments such as whitening creams. However, Zhiya Pavilion was able to gain a foothold in various parts of the country thanks to the loyal subordinates her mother left for her.

This also allowed Nie Qingxue to not worry too much about the shop, because someone had already made the plans for her.

Nie Qingxue only needs to come up with some novel ideas, like slogans that can attract people's desire to buy.

She lowered her head and looked at her palm in the moonlight. "As expected of ancient times, the moon is just like the sun."

A cold wind suddenly blew, and she shivered subconsciously.

Nie Qingxue raised her eyes to see how round the moon was tonight, but found a woman in white standing on the eaves not far away.

The woman was wearing a white dress and her long black hair was swaying in the breeze.

Nie Qingxue couldn't see her face, her body stiffened, and an idea popped into her mind.

It’s late at night, could she have met a ghost?

As soon as this thought came to mind, Nie Qingxue felt a chill rising from her back and rushing straight up to her head.

Nie Qingxue blinked, wanting to see whether the woman was a human or a ghost.

But she found that the woman seemed to be closer to her.

Nie Qingxue immediately closed the window and ran directly to Wen Shuan's guest room next door.

She no longer cared about things like physical contact between men and women; she didn't want to stay alone in the room.

Wen Shu'an was still awake. When he heard the urgent knock on the door, he stood up from his stool and asked in a deep voice, "Who?!"

"It's me, Master Wen, please open the door quickly!" Nie Qingxue was so anxious that she knocked on the door faster and faster.

Wen Shuan walked over and opened the door for Nie Qingxue. Before he could say anything, Nie Qingxue swooped in from beside him.

"Master Wen, there's something bad outside... please close the door quickly!" Nie Qingxue urged Wen Shu'an after coming in.

After Wen Shuan closed the door, he walked up to Nie Qingxue and asked her with concern, "Xue'er, is there a thief?"

"No, no, it was a black-haired woman in white outside. She...she was standing on the roof, still looking at me. Then she changed her position in the blink of an eye, getting closer and closer to me." Nie Qingxue pursed her lips, her beautiful eyes revealing uneasiness and fear.

Wen Shuan raised his eyebrows slightly, walked towards the window, pushed it open and looked out.

Nie Qingxue didn't dare to look, so she hid behind the table. There was a candle on the table, and the light of the flame made her feel a little more at ease.

After a moment, Wen Shu'an turned around with a normal expression and looked at Nie Qingxue who was hiding behind the table. "Xue'er, there's no one outside."

"Impossible, I saw it with my own eyes." Nie Qingxue opened her eyes slightly, put her hands on the stool, and said anxiously.

"Xue'er, you must be tired. You sleep on the bed tonight, and I'll sleep on the floor with you." Wen Shu'an said, closing the window, then walked to Nie Qingxue and helped her up. "Don't worry, Xue'er, I will protect you."

Nie Qingxue stammered, but she finally sighed, "Thank you, Master Wen. Maybe I'm really tired."

But Nie Qingxue refused to believe that the woman in white was just an illusion. When she took off her coat, she remembered that there was a man named Wen Shuan in the room.

She turned her head and saw that Wen Shuan had his back to her and was facing the wall.

Nie Qingxue curled her lips and smiled. This Young Master Wen was really a good person.

She deliberately slowed down the movement of taking off her coat, and the sound of the fabric rubbing against each other was amplified in the quiet night.

Even if Wen Shu'an didn't want to pay attention, the scene of Nie Qingxue taking off her clothes one by one had already appeared in his mind.

Wen Shu'an felt dry in the mouth again. When he thought of the kiss in the carriage today, his face suddenly turned red.

Nie Qingxue finally took off her coat and shoes and went to bed. When she reached out to pull the quilt, she was still a little hesitant, but finally gritted her teeth and pulled the quilt over her stomach.

Hearing the sound of Nie Qingxue lying down, Wen Shuan went to the closet to get the bedding inside.

Then he fell to the ground and lay down on it.

He turned sideways and out of courtesy did not look at Nie Qingxue.

Nie Qingxue waited for him to turn around and look at her, but no matter how long she waited, Wen Shuan didn't turn around. So Nie Qingxue simply turned sideways, facing away from Wen Shuan, pursed her lips and closed her eyes.

Wen Shuan was still thinking about Nie Qingxue. He suddenly felt something strange in his crotch and his face turned red again.

Thinking that Nie Qingxue must not know about this, he bent his body and reached down.

However, the Nie Qingxue in his mind suddenly became five years old.

In the picture, Nie Huaili, who is over one year old, is crying in the arms of his aunt Chen Lianyi. His aunt Chen Lianyi points at Nie Qingxue with her cardamom-dyed nails, and keeps blaming her.

Nie Qingxue just stood there with her back straight, staring straight at her aunt Chen Lianyi with her clear black eyes, and a stubborn expression on her face.

There was an emotion in those eyes that Wenshu An couldn't understand. The seven-year-old Wenshu An didn't understand, but now Wenshu An understood.

That is a kind of patience, just like a hunter who waits patiently for the prey to take the bait when catching it.

After his aunt Chen Shuyi carried Nie Huaili away, Nie Qingxue expressed his gratitude to Wen Shu'an.

Wen Shu'an was still very angry at the time and was suggesting that Nie Qingxue go to Nie Qianyuan to complain.

"It's useless, Wen Shuan. I'm just a five-year-old child. No one will believe what I say. Besides, there's no place for me in the Nie Mansion anymore."

After Nie Qingxue said this, she asked Wen Shu'an another question.

"Do you believe in ghosts and gods, Wenshuan?"

Those dark eyes were filled with bright stars.

It's like a determination to win, like the joy of being reborn.

Wen Shuan's eyes suddenly widened, he stopped what he was doing, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Why? Why would he recall his childhood at this moment?

Wen Shu'an even felt a sense of guilt in his heart. He felt that he was blaspheming Nie Qingxue by doing this.

She is like a lotus in a pond, pure and innocent.

You can watch it from a distance but don't play with it.
