Chapter 126 Plot 1
Xiao Cheng was silent for a moment, then slowly let go of the woman. "Maybe you're right. I did treat you as her substitute at first. But later, I found that I really fell in love with you." His voice was low and hoarse, and his eyes were full of guilt.
The woman wiped her tears and said, "It's too late. Your love is a burden to me. I don't want to be someone else's substitute." Her eyes were full of determination, and she turned around and prepared to leave.
Xiao Cheng looked at the woman's back, his heart filled with pain and regret. "I'm sorry, I know I was wrong. Please give me a chance to make amends." His voice was filled with pleading, his eyes full of expectation.
The woman stopped but didn't look back. "Some mistakes can't be made up for. There's no chance between us anymore." Her voice was filled with indifference, and she left resolutely.
Xiao Cheng watched the woman leave, the pain and regret in his heart becoming stronger. He couldn't just give up like this, he had to win her heart back.
He chased after him without hesitation, his steps quick and hurried.
"Wow! A substitute, not a love triangle, but a love quadrangle with a hapless fiancée and a white moonlight! Does this male skeleton love so much?" Bai Jin couldn't help but feel emotional when he heard them chatting.
After hearing Bai Jin's words, Xiao Cheng's fiancée could only watch quietly as Xiao Cheng chased the woman away.
She knew that she did not love Xiao Cheng, and this family marriage was just a helpless arrangement of fate for her. She looked at Xiao Cheng so crazy for her sister, and she did not feel jealous at all, but just felt that all men were the same.
Bai Jin was startled when he discovered the skeleton behind him, and shouted in panic: "You, you, you! When did you appear behind me!"
The skeleton stood there quietly, as if it didn't hear Bai Jin's question.
After a moment, the skeleton slowly turned its head and looked at Bai Jin: "Isn't it ridiculous?" Its tone was full of self-mockery.
Bai Jin realized he'd been caught complaining, and he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. He scratched his head, trying to ease the awkwardness. "It's okay, it's okay. Are you? Which fiancée or Bai Yueguang?" Bai Jin asked cautiously.
"His fiancée, He Siyun, the eldest daughter of the He family, whose life was arranged from birth." There was a hint of helplessness and sadness in the skeleton's voice.
Bai Jin was about to ask more about He Siyun when Song Yi saw him and called out to him. "Hey! Bai Jin! Is that you?" Song Yi's voice was filled with surprise and eagerness.
He saw the completely covered man in black at a glance, and guessed with 100% certainty that it was Bai Jin.
Song Yi rushed forward without hesitation and grabbed Bai Jin's hat. Bai Jin was not prepared and was frightened by Song Yi's sudden action. Bai Jin's face was exposed to the air.
Bai Jin felt relieved when he saw that He Siyun did not rush towards him like those skeletons.
He stared at He Siyun intently, his heart filled with doubts. This skeleton woman seemed different from the other skeletons, she had her own consciousness and thoughts.
Bai Jin felt that this skeleton was the key figure in the curse, so he asked anxiously: "You are different from those, so what happened here that made you become like this?"
He Siyun didn't say anything, just stood there quietly. Song Yi noticed Bai Jin talking to himself. "Who are you talking to, kid?" Song Yi frowned and looked at Bai Jin with a puzzled look. He looked around but didn't see anyone.
"Didn't you see there's a skeleton in front of me?" Bai Jin's voice was full of disbelief as he pointed in the direction of He Siyun.
Song Yi walked up to Bai Jin, took a look, and then shook his head. "No, are you hallucinating?" Song Yi's tone was full of worry. He reached out and touched Bai Jin's forehead, wanting to confirm whether he had a fever.
Bai Jin slapped Song Yi's hand away, his heart full of doubts. He didn't understand why he was the only one who could see He Siyun. However, when he saw He Siyun disappear, he decided not to dwell on this issue for the time being.
He turned his head and stared at Song Yi, "Have you been here?"
Song Yi had already seen this place hundreds of times before. "I've been here before. This mansion is the richest after the City Lord's Mansion. If my storage bag hadn't disappeared, I would have gone to their vault to fill it with gold." A trace of regret flashed in Song Yi's eyes. He looked involuntarily in the direction of the mansion where the gold might be hidden, imagining the untouchable wealth.
"You're so vulgar! What did you see here?" Bai Jin began to be curious about the young lady. He wanted to know more about the story of this mansion and the young lady who might be related to the curse.
"I just saw this male skeleton and a female skeleton acting out this cheesy, I-love-you, I-don't-love-you scene. Sometimes I'd even try to convince the woman that she was a scumbag, but she wouldn't notice and they'd just keep going. The next day, I came back and saw the exact same scene as the first time."
Song Yi was speechless at the deep affection he saw in Dian Gong. Song Yi's face showed a speechless expression, and he seemed to be very annoyed by the behavior of the male skeleton.
"It's strange, why is there a new plot as soon as I come out?" Bai Jin was filled with doubts. He frowned, trying to think hard about his role in this strange place. A hint of confusion flashed in his eyes, and he kept speculating about his role here.
"Don't tell me, don't tell me! I just went to the City Lord's Mansion and heard them discussing arresting you. Then clues about the sacrifice appeared in my mind." Song Yi suddenly remembered this important matter, and his face became solemn.
"Let's go back and discuss this. I have a bad feeling." Bai Jin felt a strong intuition that things were heading in an uncontrollable direction. He quickly put on his hat, looked around cautiously, and then pulled Song Yi and ran towards the wall without hesitation.
Bai Jin and Song Yi returned to the yard and found it quiet. They saw Chao Chao sleeping on the chair at a glance.
The tiny body curled up, its rosy cheeks so adorable you couldn't help but want to pinch them. The slightly fluttering eyelashes cast a faint shadow in the sunlight. Su Yan and Jing Jin were nowhere to be seen, which made Bai Jin and Song Yi feel a little worried.
"Where did they go?" Song Yi asked softly, lowering his voice when he saw Chao Chao sleeping. His eyes were full of confusion as he looked around.
Bai Jin walked gently to the chair and carefully picked up Chao Chao.
Chaochao felt tenderness in her dream, and her little head rubbed against Bai Jin's chest, looking for a comfortable position. Bai Jin gently patted Chaochao's back.
