Chapter 155 Were you forced?
Upon hearing this, Su Wuli stared at her in a daze.
Yama?
Are you referring to Yu Chen?
As the woman spoke, she looked at the marks on her neck again, this time examining them more closely.
But her beautiful eyebrows furrowed more and more tightly.
"This..." She swallowed hard. "You were forced by him?"
Su Wuli was stunned.
force?
Realizing something, she shook her head.
Despite this, the woman's gaze did not seem to indicate disbelief.
"Don't be afraid," the other person said in a low voice. "My name is Shen Qiange. I won't hurt you. I just came to find something, but I didn't expect..."
Shen Qiange paused, then glanced at the marks on Su Wuli's neck, her expression becoming even more complicated.
"Does it hurt a lot?"
Um?
Su Wuli paused, then realized what was happening when she met her gaze.
He shook his head again, "It's alright..."
It doesn't actually hurt.
However, she suddenly froze after answering.
Wait a minute, Shen Qiange?
The female protagonist in the novel?
Su Wuli confirmed the other party's identity and looked at the spirited girl standing in front of her in disbelief.
She really fits the image of the female lead she imagined.
Shen Qiange was still looking at her, her eyes filled with sympathy and a hint of righteous indignation.
"Don't be afraid," Shen Qiange said again. "Although I can't beat him, I can help you escape."
Su Wuli spoke up, "I'm not—"
"Shhh."
Suddenly, Shen Qiange raised a finger to her lips and listened intently to the sounds outside.
Footsteps passed by the door; it was Qiaosheng and the others.
The two were talking quietly outside, but the content was unclear. They soon fell silent again.
Shen Qiange breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at her.
"Don't be afraid," she said, lowering her voice even further.
But the righteous indignation in his eyes intensified. "I know he's a ruthless killer, but now that I've stumbled upon him, I won't just ignore you."
As she spoke, her gaze fell on her neck again, and this time her brows furrowed even more deeply.
She looked as if she had seen something horrifying, her eyes filled with reluctance.
"This...this was all his doing?"
Upon hearing this, Su Wuli instinctively raised her hand to cover her neck.
When Shen Qiange saw her action, her misunderstanding deepened.
She stepped forward, took Su Wuli's hand, and lowered her voice.
"Although the situation is frustrating right now, things will soon turn around. For now, just bear with it and keep him calm. I'll think of something to help you—"
Before he could finish speaking, there was a sudden noise outside the window.
Shen Qiange's expression changed. She released her hand and took a step back towards the window.
"I have to go," she said quickly, "but I won't abandon you; I'll find a way to come back."
After saying that, he flipped over and jumped onto the windowsill.
Su Wuli reached out to call out to her, but it was too late.
Shen Qiange had already disappeared outside the window.
The window closed gently, and the room fell silent again.
Su Wuli stood by the table, staring blankly at the window.
Remembering what Shen Qiange had just said, Su Wuli looked down at the marks on her neck.
It does look quite scary.
She sighed.
Qiaosheng's voice came from outside the door, "Miss, have you finished eating?"
Su Wuli snapped out of her daze and replied, "Okay."
The two people pushed open the door and quickly cleared away the bowls and plates on the table, then brought over a cup of warm tea and placed it on the table.
"Is there anything else you need, young lady?" Chuhe asked.
Su Wuli shook her head.
The two exchanged a glance and stood aside, showing no intention of leaving.
Su Wuli looked at them and remembered Shen Qiange climbing in through the window earlier.
They found nothing while standing outside the door.
Su Wuli couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
"You guys..." she paused, "Go out first, I want to be alone for a while."
The two responded and left.
Su Wuli sat at the table, picked up the cup of tea, and slowly sipped it.
My mind is a mess.
She put down her teacup, couldn't help but sigh, and slumped onto the table.
Suddenly a noise came from outside the door.
"Greetings, Your Highness."
Su Wuli subconsciously raised her head upon hearing the sound.
The door was pushed open, and Yu Chen stood in the doorway.
His gaze was fixed directly on her.
Yu Chen walked over, stopped in front of her, and looked down at her.
"Why are you lying down?"
Su Wuli looked up and met his gaze. "It's nothing."
Yu Chen looked at her for a moment, then reached out and pulled her up from the chair.
He pulled her into his arms, and Su Wuli put her hand on the man's shoulder.
Yu Chen carried her to the bedside.
"The maid said you were just spacing out by yourself, are you bored?"
He sat down on the edge of the couch and placed her on his lap.
She leaned against him, her face pressed against his.
Yu Chen didn't say anything more.
But Su Wuli felt his gaze fall on her.
She looked up and met his gaze.
The man's gaze slowly moved down from her face, landed on her clothes, and then returned to her head.
Then it stopped on her face.
Su Wuli felt a little uncomfortable under his gaze and asked, "What's wrong?"
Yu Chen's eyes were dark and deep as he slowly spoke, "This outfit."
He paused for a moment, then continued, "This is the first time we've met."
Upon hearing this, Su Wuli realized that he was referring to her ancient costume appearance.
"Qiaosheng did the combing," she said.
"Mm," Yu Chen replied.
He then reached out and brushed the stray hairs from her ear.
"nice."
It feels like it truly belongs here...
Su Wuli met his slightly lowered eyes. "Why are you back so early?"
Didn't he go to the council chamber?
There must be a lot of things to take care of.
Yu Chen's eyes paused for a moment, then he spoke, "I was afraid you might suddenly go back."
go back?
Su Wuli suddenly realized that every time she entered a dream, she would disappear upon waking.
a whole night.
However, when they reappear in each other's real lives, the time they disappear is never something they can control.
How long will she stay this time?
It's been almost a day and a night since last night.
Longer than ever before.
She suddenly felt a little flustered.
She didn't know when she would disappear, or whether she would ever be able to go back.
"What are you thinking about?"
Su Wuli met his gaze and replied, "I was thinking... why I stayed for so long this time."
Yu Chen looked at her and pondered for a moment.
Su Wuli continued, "Before, I would only have dreams and wake up after one night, but now time doesn't seem to be fixed..."
Yu Chen pulled her closer to him, resting his chin on the top of her head. "I don't know either."
Su Wuli leaned against him, still unable to contain her curiosity.
She looked up at him. "Why?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Chen lowered his head.
"Why did we become real?" Su Wuli asked, puzzled. "Was it because of something?"
She didn't know how to describe it.
Hub? Medium? That thing that connects two worlds?
"have no idea."
He didn't know either?
This was the first time Su Wuli had ever seen uncertainty on Yu Chen's face.
There's always a reason behind novels and TV dramas where characters can travel through time or connect two different time periods.
Jade pendants or other antiques.
However, Su Wuli was certain that she did not have any of these things.
So to this day, we still don't know why.
A moment later, the image of Shen Qiange suddenly popped into his mind.
This is Yu Chen's bedroom, his territory.
Shen Qiange is the female protagonist of the original book. She is on Xiao Junyi's side and Yu Chen's enemy.
The other party must have had a purpose in coming here.
Su Wuli subconsciously looked up at him.
"What's wrong?" Yu Chen asked.
She thought for a moment and then asked, "Have you...lost anything recently?"
