Chapter 229 Crazy
As he continued speaking, the man's voice grew increasingly low, eventually revealing a hint of helplessness and melancholy that was hard to conceal. This sudden change in emotion startled Su Fuying slightly.
She never expected that he was so perceptive, having already discerned the differences between the two of them so long ago.
Suddenly, a complex and inexplicable emotion welled up in her heart, leaving her somewhat at a loss.
"From now on, you must not have any further entanglements with that Sima Lan. After I return to the capital, everything will be properly handled, and everything will eventually settle down."
The man gazed at her intently and solemnly made his promise.
Xiao Yuheng's words interrupted Su Fuying's thoughts. She looked up blankly, "When Sima Lan and I were in the capital, he also helped... um?"
The woman gasped in surprise, feeling a weight on her waist as his hand gripped her waist tightly, as if trying to embed her whole body into it.
The moment he approached, even the air seemed to grow heavy. A dark undercurrent surged in the man's eyes, and intense emotions almost overflowed from them.
Su Fuying was suddenly struck by the fact that this person smelled so strongly of alcohol. She hadn't even noticed that he had been drinking because she hadn't been paying attention to him.
Oh no, what's wrong with me today? Why am I so absent-minded!
Su Fuying couldn't help but feel annoyed, "Let go!"
She gave a coquettish laugh, her voice clear yet tinged with a hint of panic.
At that moment, she could clearly hear his heart pounding like thunder, as if it were about to burst out of his chest.
At the same time, a feeling of intense heat, like a flame, quickly rose from the soles of my feet and instantly spread throughout my body.
She involuntarily reached out her hands and forcefully pushed against the broad, muscular chest of the man in front of her, trying to widen the distance between them.
However, the man seemed oblivious to her actions, gazing intently at her with his deep, ocean-like eyes. His gaze gradually moved downwards, finally settling on her luscious, full, and alluring red lips.
Just as Su Fuying felt a sudden tightness in her heart, Xiao Yuheng suddenly lowered his head without warning and touched her lips precisely.
The kiss was so gentle, like a dragonfly skimming the water, that he quickly withdrew before Su Fuying could even react.
"I rely on!"
Su Fuying belatedly came to her senses and couldn't help but swear.
She stared wide-eyed at the man before her, her face filled with astonishment.
At this moment, Xiao Yuheng remained silent, his thick, long eyelashes trembling slightly, his fiery gaze fixed firmly on those two glistening, alluring lips.
Without him noticing, his Adam's apple began to bob uncontrollably, and the large hand that had been holding her slender waist unconsciously tightened slightly, increasing the pressure a little.
"Crazy! Absolutely crazy!"
Su Fuying was secretly shocked. At this moment, she was completely flustered and had no idea how to describe her current state of mind.
I thought I would be furious, but that wasn't the case at all. What surged deep inside me was more of an indescribable panic and anxiety.
Was it the bizarre yet vivid dream she had just experienced that disturbed her mind, or was it the overly ambiguous atmosphere at this moment that made her lose the ability to think calmly?
Su Fuying had no idea; her mind was a complete blank.
At this moment, her only clear thought was to try her best to break free from the man's grasp, to distance herself from him as much as possible, and then to flee this place of trouble as quickly as possible.
So she began to twist her body desperately, trying to break free from his control.
The man seemed to realize her intention and surprisingly let go of her hand.
However, he did not give up. Instead, with a smile on his face, he watched with great interest the figure fleeing in panic like a frightened deer, and said softly, "Tomorrow is the annual Lantern Festival in Beili. Nanxia cannot see it. Would you like to go with me?"
Upon hearing this, Su Fuying abruptly stopped in her tracks.
She opened her mouth, intending to reply, but the lingering smell of alcohol on her lips involuntarily brought back certain images.
So, as if she had been frozen in place, she stood there motionless for a few seconds before snapping out of her daze, abruptly shutting her mouth, and striding away without looking back, as if a raging flood or ferocious beast was chasing her.
Only the tall, imposing man remained standing there quietly, motionless for a long time.
He slowly raised a long, slender, jade-like hand and gently caressed his lips. His eyes were as deep as the sea, making it difficult to see what he was really thinking. His expression was even more unfathomable, making him impossible to understand.
"The princess!"
A shout came from outside the tent, urgent and loud, instantly pulling Su Fuying, who was immersed in her thoughts, back to reality.
She slowly raised her head and looked toward the tent entrance, where she saw two figures hurrying toward her.
As the two approached, Su Fuying finally got a clear look at their faces.
One of them was Shadow Two. When she saw that the person was Shadow Two, her brows furrowed involuntarily, and a bad premonition welled up in her heart.
"Shadow Two? What happened? Did something happen to Biluo?"
Su Fuying's tone was tinged with anxiety and worry, because before she left, she had specifically instructed Ying Er to protect Biluo.
Seeing Ying Er appear so hastily, she naturally wondered if something unexpected had happened to Bi Luo.
Upon hearing Su Fuying's question, Ying Er quickly shook his head and said, "No, no, Princess, don't worry, Miss Biluo is perfectly fine."
As he spoke, he quickly handed a thick cloak to Su Fuying and said in a low voice, "Princess, it would be more appropriate to call me Sikong in public."
Upon hearing Ying Er's words, Su Fuying immediately understood. She nodded slightly to indicate that she knew, while secretly pondering that Si Nan must have seen Ying Er's signal to let her into the tent earlier.
At this moment, Si Nan had returned to the camp gate to stand guard, but his bright eyes were filled with curiosity as he looked Su Fuying up and down. Clearly, the two brothers had done something to make Si Nan, an honest man, show such a gossipy look.
However, facing Si Nan's probing gaze, Su Fuying remained calm and showed no unusual behavior.
Snowflakes fluttered down, turning the world into a pristine white expanse. Sikong carefully held an umbrella for Su Fuying, and the two walked slowly on the thick snow, leaving behind two sets of footprints, some deep and some shallow.
“Princess, the capital has been quite lively lately, with many earth-shattering events taking place. After receiving orders from my master, I rushed here without stopping. Due to the urgency, I didn’t have time to send you a message beforehand, so I thought it would be more appropriate to report to you in person,” Sikong said in a low voice as he walked.
Su Fuying nodded slightly to indicate that she understood, and replied softly, "Yes, let's go inside first and talk about it."
As they spoke, they arrived at the front of the camp.
Sikong hesitated for a moment, glancing around as if he had some concerns.
Just then, Su Fuying spoke up: "Don't worry, no one is watching here. Besides, I'm dressed as a man now, so you should call me 'Young Master'."
After saying this, she ignored Sikong and strode into the tent.
Sikong was left standing there, rubbing his hands, which were red from the cold. A gust of biting wind blew by, and he couldn't help but shiver and suddenly sneezed loudly.
He then quickened his pace and hurriedly caught up with Su Fuying, and together they entered the warm tent.
"The King of Gaoliang has raised an army?"
