Ningguang sat up on the bed, her blonde hair swaying gently as she moved. She reached out and gently took Su Chen's hand, "I know. As long as you come back to me every time, no matter how long it takes, I'm willing to do it."
Their fingers were tightly intertwined, and at that moment, time seemed to stand still. Su Chen lowered his head and gently kissed Ningguang's forehead, "I will, I promise."
Su Chen had put on his clothes at this time and just wanted to have a cigarette, but unfortunately there was no cigarette in this world.
It is said that women are like wolves at the age of thirty and tigers at the age of forty. Su Chen could be said to have experienced this deeply last night. If her body had not been strengthened by the system, she would probably have had to leave the Qun Yu Pavilion with the help of a wall today.
Su Chen fell into deep thought. The scenery in front of him seemed blurred and his thoughts drifted far away.
At this time, Ningguang stood up lightly and walked to his side with brisk steps, with a mischievous light in her eyes and a faint smile on her lips: "What are you thinking about? Why are you so absent-minded?" Her voice was soft, with a hint of inadvertent concern.
Su Chen came back to his senses from his contemplation and turned to look at Ningguang with a complicated look. He spoke slowly, his voice a little heavy: "I am thinking about the mystery of Ye Lan's father's disappearance.
Why has it become a secret hidden deep in Liyue, and even his own daughter Ye Lan has been kept in the dark. "He paused and continued, "Ye Lan decided to stand with me in order to uncover the truth about her father's disappearance. And now, I still can't give her an answer, which makes me feel a little guilty. "
After hearing this, Ningguang's eyes dimmed slightly and she was silent for a moment, as if she was digesting Su Chen's words.
She felt a little emotional. After all, they were just getting along sweetly, but in the blink of an eye, the topic turned to another woman.
However, she quickly adjusted her mood and understood Su Chen's sense of responsibility.
She shook her head gently, her tone full of deep understanding: "In fact, the reason why I hid all this from Ye Lan was because I was worried that she would lose her mind after knowing the truth."
As she spoke, she gracefully put on a beautifully designed cheongsam, which made her figure look more graceful without losing her dignity.
When Su Chen heard this, his brows slightly frowned, looking a little puzzled: "Are you afraid that she will lose her mind?"
Ningguang nodded gently and sighed, with a hint of helplessness in her voice: "Ye Lan's father is actually also a special intelligence officer of Liyue General Affairs Department. Sometimes, it is impossible to obtain key intelligence by relying on informants alone. You must go deep behind enemy lines and conduct undercover work yourself."
Her eyes became complicated, "Ye Lan's father died while performing an undercover mission..."
Su Chen listened quietly, and as Ningguang's words progressed, his mood became heavier.
The story of Ye Lan’s father was like a heavy stone weighing on his heart.
He couldn't help but wonder how to tell Ye Lan this heavy news in the most tactful way.
At the same time, Ningguang slowly tried to stand up, her hands firmly supporting herself on the edge of the bed, her body slightly leaning forward, preparing to transfer her weight to her feet.
However, the moment her toes touched the cold floor, she felt as if her legs lost strength and she almost fell.
Su Chen reacted very quickly. He immediately stepped forward and held Ningguang's waist firmly with both hands, his eyes full of concern.
"Ningguang, are you okay?" His voice was filled with anxiety and worry.
Ningguang responded with a complicated look, which contained a hint of blame and mixed with subtle emotions.
That glance seemed to be a silent accusation, and Su Chen's heart tightened. He understood what she meant: Wasn't her current situation due to him?
Despite this, Ningguang did not refuse Su Chen's support, and the two walked out of the room side by side.
The maids and female subordinates who occasionally passed by in the corridor cast surprised and even envious glances at her, but Ningguang didn't care at all. All her attention was focused on steadying her pace.
After arriving at the office, Su Chen gently settled Ningguang down and prepared to say goodbye.
At this moment, a relaxed and joyful voice floated from behind him - "It's great to be young~"
This simple sentence was like a warm current that not only warmed Su Chen's heart, but also evoked all kinds of beautiful imaginations of his possible future.
Although he was reluctant to leave, Su Chen quickened his pace and hurriedly left the office, fearing that he would be bound by those sweet times again and forget his responsibilities.
……
After leaving the Qun Yu Pavilion, Su Chen quickly walked towards the hotel, his heart full of worry about Ying and the others.
It had been a whole day and two nights since they had separated, and he was anxious to know how they were doing.
Just as he quickened his pace, wanting to end this separation as soon as possible, after turning a corner, his eyes suddenly caught a few familiar figures standing leisurely under the big tree in front.
That's Ying, Paimeng, and Grandma Ping.
The three seemed to be enjoying this rare moment of peace.
Grandma Ping was the first to notice Su Chen's arrival. A warm smile immediately broke out on her face, and her tone was full of welcome and joy: "Haha, look who's here, our Ying, and Paimeng. Oh, isn't this Su Chen? Welcome back, kid."
As soon as Paimeng heard what Grandma Ping said, he turned around and saw Su Chen at a glance.
She angrily made exaggerated movements in the air, her small body almost stepping in the air: "Humph, Su Chen, you finally remembered to come back! Do you know how worried we are about you?"
Her little hands were tightly clasped at her waist, her face full of dissatisfaction and complaints.
"Because you're not here, we can only eat the sweet flower-stuffed chicken made by Ying." Paimon couldn't help showing a distressed expression when he mentioned this, "That taste is simply a torture!"
Ying stood aside and heard Paimon's complaint with an awkward smile on her face.
She waved to Su Chen, her eyes showing surprise and relief: "Su Chen, you are finally back! We all missed you so much."
Su Chen walked lightly to the familiar shade of the tree and looked at Grandma Ping with eyes full of respect and admiration: "Grandma Ping, long time no see, how are you?"
After saying that, he gently pinched Paimon's fluffy little face, causing Paimon to make an exaggerated expression.
Grandma Ping had a kind smile on her face, and her voice was warm and powerful: "My old bones are still quite strong. I didn't expect you all to come today. You really bring honor to me, an old lady."
As she spoke, she picked up a simple-looking teapot from her side and handed it to Ying.
Ying looked at the teapot in her hand curiously. It looked ordinary, but she didn't know why Grandma Ping gave it to her.
Seeing the doubt on Ying's face, Grandma Ping gently explained: "There is a cave hidden in this Chen Ge pot. It is a treasure that can provide you with a temporary resting place at any time. When you encounter difficulties outside and have no place to rest, you can use it."
After hearing this, Ying's eyes flashed with surprise and she hugged the teapot tightly as if she had a treasure.
Although the Chen Ge Pot is small, it can accommodate a large space. From Luofu Cave to Miaoxiang Forest, each place is an independent and exquisite world, forming a perfect hidden corner with the continent of Teyvat.
Ying was inexplicably moved, but at the same time she felt that the gift was too precious. "Grandma Ping, this gift is too valuable. I'm afraid I can't bear it. Thank you very much for your kindness."
Granny Ping shook her head and turned her gaze to Su Chen, her eyes sparkling with wisdom: "Child, I know everything you have done. Xiangling has already told me that I, an old woman, know all the contributions you have made to Liyue."
"This Dust Song Pot is a small reward from an old man like me for your courage and kindness. Please accept it as a help in your journey in this world."
Hearing what Grandma Ping said, Ying's heart was filled with warmth, and she hugged the Chen Ge Hu tightly again, this time with full of cherishment and gratitude.
Grandma Ping looked at Ying accepting her gift, and a satisfied and loving smile appeared on her face again.
Afterwards, she said goodbye to Su Chen and Paimon, and walked away slowly with the help of her crutches, leaving behind a warm figure.
Under the shade of the tree, Su Chen, Ying and Paimeng were soon the only ones left, each with a cup.
Su Chen didn't return to the hotel for two nights. Although he felt a little resentful, the joy of reunion outweighed everything.
Ying couldn't help but hug Su Chen. After a long while, she said, "Are you okay? There has been no news for so long. I thought you were in danger."
Su Chen was lost in thought, thinking back to the past two days. First, he encountered a vixen in the mysterious dream space, then he encountered a hot-tempered woman who tortured him, and last night he was almost drained dry by Tianquan Star...
Thinking about it this way, we have indeed encountered dangers that are hard for ordinary people to imagine!
"Hmph. How could he be in any danger? He must have secretly found another woman behind your back!" Paimon crossed his arms over his chest and said unhappily.
As Paimon's dissatisfaction and complaints gradually dissipated into the air, Su Chen easily took out a bag of freshly made honey barbecue pork from his pocket, with a playful smile on his lips: "Look, this is my newly made honey barbecue pork. But, from what you said, it seems that you are not interested in it?" There was obvious teasing in his tone.
As soon as Paimon caught a glimpse of the tempting bag of honey-glazed barbecued pork, his eyes lit up instantly and his saliva almost flowed out. He hurriedly corrected his previous remarks: "Um, um... I was just joking with Ying just now!"
Ying stood aside, looking at Paimon's funny look of quickly changing his attitude. She couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh, her eyes full of teasing and warmth.
In this relaxed and happy atmosphere, Su Chen's eyes inadvertently fell on the Chen Ge pot next to him.
This treasure, which looks ordinary but contains a mysterious space, quietly attracted his attention.
Ying noticed Su Chen's attention to the Chen Ge pot, so she took the initiative to pick up the Chen Ge pot and handed it to him: "This Chen Ge pot is not particularly useful to me, it should belong to you."
………………
Chapter 443: Eavesdropping on others’ thoughts, but being eavesdropped!
Su Chen gently took the teapot handed to him by Ying. His fingers carefully stroked its surface, his eyes revealing appreciation and curiosity for this little gadget.
Ying bit her lip lightly, her eyes firm yet slightly shy: "In this journey to save Liyue, you have shouldered the heavy burden, and I have only done some insignificant things beside you. This Dust Song Pot, by rights, should belong to you."
Although she said this, it was not difficult to see from her eyes that her feelings for Su Chen were much deeper than what words could express.
Ying knew that Su Chen didn't only have her in his heart, and she was also aware of this.
She was not the only one who was concerned about Su Chen. She had accidentally witnessed the intimate scenes between Shen He and Su Chen more than once.
During the time when Su Chen was away, Ying thought deeply and finally realized that she could not give up missing him from the bottom of her heart.
She may not be the only one in Su Chen's life, but she is determined to be the one who occupies a special place in his heart.
The act of giving away the Chen Ge pot is not just a simple gift, it is also Ying's way of showing her determination to Su Chen.
From then on, the Chen Ge Pot was not only a treasure, it became a symbol of their world, a secret garden that belonged only to the two of them...
At this moment, Ying's determination and Su Chen's gratitude were intertwined, expressing their true feelings without words.
The relationship between the two became deeper because of this, and the Chen Ge Pot became an irreplaceable bond between them.
Su Chen took the Chen Ge pot, his face showing genuine joy. He was not unfamiliar with this small treasure.
In his past life memories, he often browsed the Chen Ge Hu landscape displays on the Internet and envied the creativity and beauty of those skilled in the art.
After learning that the Chen Ge Pot was actually an independent space, Su Chen began to have all kinds of interesting ideas in his mind.
"Since this Dust Song Pot now belongs to me, can I use it as I please?"
He said this half jokingly and half seriously, with a mischievous gleam in his eyes.
Ying was a little confused by his question, but she still nodded trustingly. She had a full understanding of Su Chen's character and personality.
Seizing the opportunity, Su Chen continued to tease: "Since you said so, if I want to invite more women into Chen Ge Hu to enjoy the beautiful scenery and tranquility there, that is also possible, right?"
Although Ying didn't fully understand Su Chen's joke at first, she soon realized his hidden meaning, patted him lightly, and said in a pretended angry tone: "Don't let your imagination run wild, understand?"
"Um……"
"what?"
Hearing Su Chen's answer, Paimeng almost fell from the air. It was true that it was difficult to change a person's nature. She knew that giving him the Chen Ge Pot would be no good.
Ying was a little dazed.
She only wanted to give this Chen Ge pot to Su Chen, so that it could become a place for the two of them to consolidate their relationship.
But how could she have imagined that Su Chen would be intimate with other women in there?
"If I had known that when Grandma Ping gave it to me just now, I would not have accepted it!"
Ying regrets it very much now, but she had clearly promised Su Chen to give this to her as a gift.
If she wanted it back now, wouldn't it make her seem very stingy?
In particular, if she did this, it would mean that there was no room for other women in her heart, which would definitely be detrimental to her relationship with Su Chen, right?
Although she was very conflicted, after hesitating for a moment, Ying nodded reluctantly.
Seeing Ying's aggrieved expression, looking like she was about to cry, Su Chen immediately burst into laughter:
"I was just teasing you. This is a gift from Ying. How could I let another woman in?"
"Ah!! Really...really?" Ying's face was full of joy and she hugged Su Chen excitedly.
"real."
With one hand around Ying's slender waist and the other holding the Chen Ge pot, Su Chen had a sly smile on his face.
Of course it can't be true, silly girl.
But who knows whether he had a tryst with other women in there later?
After getting Su Chen's promise, Ying's mood was very good. Seeing her originally domineering personality, she was now like a girl in love, dragging him to visit Liyue shops.
Su Chen couldn't help but want to knock her on the head: Are you still looking for your brother?
At this moment, a system prompt sounded in Su Chen's mind.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the system temporary task: Playing with Ye Lan, and getting the task reward: Eavesdropping Book (purple quality)! Roleplay +3, Favorability +10! ]
Eavesdropping on the inner voice book?
Seeing the prompt flash across the screen in front of him, Su Chen used it without thinking.
It is said that a woman's mood changes faster than the weather. She may be crying one second and laughing the next.
With this tool, I can eavesdrop on the inner thoughts of my target. Wouldn't that mean I can know what they are really thinking?
Interesting! Su Chen couldn't help but look forward to it. He wondered if the little fox Yae Shenzi was disgusted when he stroked his tail, or if he hoped he would stroke it harder?
Also, does General Lei Dian really dislike him as much as he appears to, or is he just saying one thing and doing another?
