After the indigenous heroine was reborn, she went crazy and reorganized the plot line

Chapter 198 Illusion

The sound of the door opening creaked softly in the quiet morning.

Rong Su looked into the yard, then at the room where Shen Peiqing lived.

Seeing that it was still tightly closed, she deliberately chose a time when Shen Peiqing was still asleep, intending to secretly give him acupuncture to help him fall asleep.

I tiptoed to his door, put my ear close to it and listened, but there was no sound.

Rong Su thought for a moment and called out softly a few times, "Ah Qing. Ah Qing? Are you awake?"

Got no response.

She raised her hand and slowly pushed the door open.

When I looked inside, I saw Shen Peiqing still sleeping on the bed. He seemed to be sleeping very poorly.

His brows were tightly furrowed, and his hands were tightly grasping the edge of the quilt, as if he was having a very terrifying dream.

Seeing this, Rong Su sighed lightly, walked over, sat on the edge of the bed, reached out and gently held his hand, patting it very gently.

He seemed to feel comforted, and the strength of his grip on the quilt gradually weakened.

Rong Su looked down at his cold face filled with sorrow and murmured softly, "If you're sad, why don't you just tell me? Why do you have to endure it so hard by yourself? You're so stupid."

After she finished speaking, she took out a silver needle and began to give him acupuncture.

When the silver needle was inserted into one of his acupuncture points, Shen Peiqing's tightly furrowed brows slowly relaxed, and his hands gripping the quilt loosened, as if he had fallen into a deep sleep.

Seeing that he was already fast asleep, Rong Su slowly breathed a sigh of relief, pulled out the silver needle and put it away, then reached out and lifted his quilt up little by little.

Use your hands to push the hair away from his face.

"Get some sleep. Everything will be fine."

Perhaps her words had some magic, after she finished speaking, Shen Peiqing's expression seemed to be much more relaxed.

Rong Su withdrew her hand and was about to get up and leave.

Then I heard a low muttering.

"do not go..."

Rong Su was slightly stunned, then turned to look at the sleeping Shen Peiqing, shook her head helplessly, and chose to sit on the edge of the bed, leaning against the edge, resting her chin on the bed, looking at him, and reached out to hold his hand.

"Since you're so pitiful now, I'll be merciful and accompany you. But you'll have to pay me back later, Shen Peiqing."

The moment Rong Su looked away, the corners of Shen Peiqing's mouth curled up slightly, then disappeared in a flash, as if it had never appeared.

When Rong Su woke up, she didn't expect that she would fall asleep leaning against the bed.

Perhaps because she saw that Shen Peiqing was in a bad condition, she had been worried for quite a few days, which caused her to sleep restlessly at night.

After finally waiting for Shen Peiqing to have a good sleep, she naturally felt relieved and relaxed, and fell asleep as well without realizing it.

Just as I was about to change my position, I was surprised to find that I was already lying on the bed.

Rong Su was startled, and she could feel a steady and heavy breathing sound in her ears.

Her body stiffened, she slowly turned her head, and when she saw what was happening, she was completely stunned.

When did she run onto the bed?

Shen Peiqing lay down beside her and covered her with most of the quilt.

He still held her hand while sleeping and did not do anything inappropriate.

Rong Su felt relieved when she found out that she had not done anything strange to him. Seeing him sleeping peacefully with his eyes closed, like an obedient child, she felt that he was endearing.

She slowly turned sideways, folded her hands together, pressed her cheek on them, and stared at Shen Peiqing opposite her.

His eyelashes were very long, thick and black as ink, and his nose was very high, as if it had been carefully carved by a skillful craftsman, and there was also a mouth under his nose.

Some are as red as if they were painted with rouge, and some are as soft as tofu. What would happen if you touched it?

Rong Su was clearly just thinking about it, and she never expected that she would actually stretch out her finger and touch it.

As soon as she touched those soft-looking lips, her heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and then she realized belatedly that she had actually had evil thoughts about Shen Peiqing!

This realization made her feel at a loss, even shocked, and she quickly retracted her hand.

But the next second, Shen Peiqing opened his mouth and bit her finger, although he didn't bite hard, just lightly.

But in that instant, the touch felt like an electric current flowing from the fingertips and spreading to her chest.

Her heartbeat was so loud that it made her cheeks feel hot as if they were on fire.

Rong Su endured the feeling of her face getting hot and tried to save her fingers from someone's mouth. The next moment, Shen Peiqing opened his eyes. Those dark eyes were deep and contained some strong emotions.

"You, let go!" The emotion emanating from those eyes was like a ferocious beast about to release its desire, which frightened Rong Su so much that he panicked a little and spoke quickly.

Shen Peiqing looked like he did it on purpose. His white teeth gently bit her finger and when he was about to let go, he actually licked her fingertips with his tongue. She suddenly widened her eyes and looked at him in disbelief.

He froze there as if struck by lightning, and then quickly retracted his hand. Rong Su stared at him.

"Why did you bite me suddenly? Are you a dog?"

Rong Su was so angry that she yelled at him angrily.

Shen Peiqing's deep eyes suddenly showed weakness, and he looked at her with an innocent look: "I suddenly dreamed that someone handed me a piece of sweet cake, so I opened my mouth. So, why did Xiao Su touch my mouth?"

Being asked this question suddenly, Rong Su felt her face getting hotter and her eyes dodged a few times: "You are mistaken."

"Really?" Shen Peiqing looked at her suspiciously.

His eyes were too probing, making her feel at a loss. She immediately reached out to block his eyes, turned her face away, and said unhappily, "What are you looking at? If I say it's an illusion, then it's an illusion!"

Shen Peiqing saw that she was already angry and embarrassed, so he smiled helplessly. Seeing a small hand blocking his way, he raised his hand, gently held it, and placed it on his lips. He looked at her with a tender and gentle gaze.

"Okay, it's just an illusion, but I like Xiao Su touching my mouth, so I want Xiao Su to touch it again, okay?"

The soft and elastic feeling echoed between her fingers. Rong Su turned her gaze quietly again, without struggling, and allowed him to hold her fingers and touch his lips.

She didn't know if it was her own heartbeat or his, but the heartbeat in her ear was really loud, beating as loud as a drum.

Feeling really embarrassed, Rong Su retracted her fingers, coughed lightly and said, "Okay. It's this late. Time to get up."

Shen Peiqing saw Rong Su sitting up, and reached out to hold her hand again. Seeing her look at him with a puzzled look, he said seriously, "Thank you."

Knowing what he was going to thank her for, Rong Su turned back and rolled her eyes: "Alright. Get up."

"Okay." Shen Peiqing looked at her back and suddenly thought she was very cute. Was she shy? His lips raised slightly.

Afterwards, Shen Peiqing seemed to have returned to his original appearance, but only Rong Su could feel that he had changed a lot.

He became more taciturn than before. As long as she didn't talk to him, he always seemed to be staring at something and lost in thought, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.

In the following days, Shen Peiqing would still go down to the pond to dig a secret passage, and would fish on the way back.

Rong Su was planting herbs in the back yard, preparing meals and waiting for Shen Peiqing to come back.

Time passed by bit by bit. When she opened the book where she recorded time, she found that she and Shen Peiqing had spent a whole year in this secret palace where they could not see the outside world.

It should be snowing outside now.

Rong Su could clearly feel that the temperature had dropped a lot compared to when he came here last time.

She would prepare charcoal fire every day before Shen Peiqing came back. Even in a sealed space like the secret palace, she could still clearly feel the cold.

I was afraid that Shen Peiqing’s body wouldn’t be able to withstand going into the water every day.

On this day, Rong Suru stood by the pond, holding a hand warmer in her hand, waiting as usual.

I counted the time in my mind until the moment when Shen Peiqing was about to come out of the pool.

But he was nowhere to be seen.

Rong Su suddenly became a little anxious and hurried to the edge of the pond, hoping to see the bottom of the pond clearly through the water surface.

However, the lighting in the secret palace was dim, and the water in the pond was very dark without any light.

It was at this time that Rong Su realized a problem that she had always ignored.

It was so dark under the water, and Shen Peiqing had no lighting tools. How did he dig the secret passage and catch fish?

She became anxious and called out to the pond: "Shen Peiqing! Shen Peiqing!"

Her voice echoed throughout the secret palace, but no other sound was heard.

After waiting for another half an hour, no one showed up.

She was extremely anxious and paced back and forth by the pond, holding a hand warmer and keeping her eyes on the surface of the pond.

"No. Is something wrong with him?"

Thinking of this possibility, Rong Su couldn't stay there for a moment.

She squatted down, put the hand warmer aside, took off her shoes, stood up, looked at the pool of water, and clenched her fists.

I went into the water without hesitation. Just as I was about to move, I saw ripples on the water surface.

When Rong Su saw this, she stood up in surprise and shouted towards the water: "Shen Peiqing!"

Shen Peiqing emerged from the water, his cold face soaked by the water, and it seemed that the whole person became even clearer. Drops of water slid down his resolute chin and dripped onto the water surface, forming circles of ripples.

When he saw Rong Su's anxious face, his deep eyes were filled with tenderness and comfort. He quickly stepped out of the water with a brisk pace. Tiny water droplets splashed under his feet, flashing a little silver light in the dim light.

The first thing Shen Peiqing did after getting ashore was to walk towards Rong Su with a smile on his thin lips. That smile was like the warm sun in the cold winter, gradually dispelling the anxiety and worry in Rong Su's heart.

Until he came in front of her, stretched out his hand, but stopped in mid-air. The hand soaked in water looked even colder and paler. Rong Su saw it and raised her hand to hold it without hesitation, as if only by touching his presence could she completely eliminate the worries in her heart.

Shen Peiqing saw her worry, but he didn't exert any force on the hand she held, letting her hold it. He looked at her with pity and tenderness in his eyes: "It's cold. Let go first. Otherwise, you'll catch a cold."

Rong Su shook her head and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, because he was obviously the colder one and he should care about her.

She remembered her hand warmer, quickly let go of Shen Peiqing and turned to look for it.

Seeing Shen Peiqing let go of his hand, a flash of sadness flashed across his eyes. He asked her to let go of him, but when he saw that she really let go, his heart was filled with loss.

Shen Peiqing, who was feeling annoyed, suddenly felt a comfortable warmth in his hand.

He looked up in surprise and found that there was a hand warmer in his hand. He looked at Rong Su in surprise and saw her smiling at him.

"Today I added an extra herb to the hand warmer to dispel the cold. You didn't know that when I was cleaning the utility room, I actually found a small medicine box. There are quite a few herbs in it."

Seeing the bright smile on her face, Shen Peiqing felt that even without the hand warmer, the coldness in his body and mind was instantly dispelled.

Shen Peiqing curled his lips, glanced at the hand warmer, and said, "Thank you."

Hearing him say thank you, Rong Su's smile disappeared immediately. She stared at him with a bit of resentment: "I don't want to hear these two words. You've said too much recently."

Seeing her express dissatisfaction, Shen Peiqing pursed his lips and sighed softly, saying, "Because I feel like I owe you a lot. You've helped me a lot, but I don't know how to repay you. I can only say it."

"Then think about it again, how are you going to repay me! I don't need something like thanks which is not substantial." Rong Su immediately interrupted Shen Peiqing's words. She glanced at him, hating how this man had become so stupid now, and he didn't understand anything at all!

When Shen Peiqing heard this, he lowered his eyes, frowned, and fell into deep thought.

"By the way, why did you come out of the pool so late today? What happened under the pool?" Rong Su was still very concerned about this, so she looked at him and asked.

Speaking of this, Shen Peiqing's expression relaxed a little. He looked at her and smiled lightly and said, "Xiao Su, we can leave the secret palace tomorrow. I have already dug it out."

Hearing that they could leave soon, Rong Su was indeed happy, her eyes brightened a little: "Really? That's great!"

Seeing Rong Su so excited, Shen Peiqing should have felt happy too, but he thought of something and a hint of dark sadness flashed across his eyes.

After we get out, can Xiao Su and I still live such a peaceful life like we do here?

I don't want to be separated from her.

Rong Su didn't know what Shen Peiqing was thinking. She only thought about leaving soon so that she could contact Aku quickly. She still had a lot of things to plan.

There is also the current situation in Dongdu. Shen Fengyu has already suspected her. How he will deal with her in the future and how she will deal with him all need to be reconsidered.

That night, Shen Peiqing drove Rong Su out of the kitchen and stayed in the kitchen alone to work.

She asked him, but he didn't answer. He just smiled mysteriously and repeated, "You'll know in a moment."

Sitting in the yard, Rong Su poked the hand warmer with his fingers out of boredom, occasionally looking towards the kitchen.

I thought to myself, what is this person doing? It's so weird, and I don't know why he is trying to be mysterious.

Although she complained in her heart, she was still a little curious and expectant.
