Chapter 86: Now, Can Shengsheng Like Me?

“Because…”

The girl blinked her drunken, hazy eyes. Her voice trembled slightly. “I am not a person of this world.”

Not of this world?

Xue Chen accurately grasped the key point. “Then where is Shengsheng from?”

“Me…”

She giggled, smacking her lips. “My world is great… I can watch dramas alone, eat alone, watch movies alone, and I wouldn’t be bored. There’s the internet, mobile phones… I could stay indoors for two months…”

Xue Chen didn’t understand some of the vocabulary.

But he heard the key point: in her original world, Ning Shengsheng was alone.

That means she doesn’t have anyone she likes?

Joy colored the young man’s brows. He continued to lure her, “Even if you are from another world, so what? We are in the same world now. Shengsheng, you can like me…”

His thumb brushed past the corner of the girl’s eye.

Wet tears stained his fingertip. He slowly raised his hand and tasted her bitter tear.

His eyes were filled with a look of inevitable conquest.

“Still no…”

Ning Shengsheng was extremely dizzy, the person in front of her blurred and covered in layers of fog.

“Why not?”

The voice drilled into her ears.

Sometimes ethereal, sometimes like a whisper right beside her ear.

She shook her head. The alcohol hadn’t dissipated much; instead, her head felt even more swollen and dizzy.

She spoke subconsciously.

“I am the cannon fodder female supporting character of this world, and you are the villain. You will kill me, and you will destroy Great Ning…”

The girl whimpered.

She looked up, her almond eyes wet, and pleaded, “Xue Wuyin, don’t kill me… okay?”

He would kill her?

Xue Chen was stunned for a moment, then relieved. If Ning An were still the original Ning An…

And not Ning Shengsheng.

He would indeed kill that evildoer who committed all kinds of crimes.

Now…

“I won’t kill you.” Xue Chen looked at her with heartache, his slender fingers wiping away her falling tears.

“Wuu wuu, let’s… let’s pinky promise…”

Drunk like this and still wanting a pinky promise.

Just how afraid was she that he would kill her?

Xue Chen smiled helplessly. He extended his finger and hooked it around hers. “Mm, pinky promise…”

He asked persistently.

“Now, can Shengsheng like me?”

“Huh?”

Ning Shengsheng shook her head.

Xue Chen ground his back teeth. “Why again this time?”

“System, the system doesn’t allow it…”

Clang—

Her head knocked against the table, and she fell completely asleep.

System doesn’t allow it?

Xue Chen narrowed his eyes, a dangerous light flashing in his dark pupils. If he guessed correctly, the system was her magical artifact? Only this artifact could guide and control her actions.

Doesn’t allow it?

Heh…

He reached out, pressing his thumb against her lips, gently rubbing them. His tone was affectionate and gentle: “If I kill the system…”

“Then you can like me, right?”

The system residing in Ning Shengsheng’s sea of consciousness shuddered violently.

Mommy!

What is this situation? Where is this going?

It had just accepted a B-rank mission to guide the host to conquer the villain.

The villain in a B-rank mission usually had a tragic background and a bumpy youth, leading to hatred.

There was still a sliver of kindness in their hearts.

But its mission target…

The system panicked and sent two more distress signals to headquarters, praying for headquarters to reply quickly.

Xue Chen watched Ning Shengsheng like this.

It wasn’t until the latter half of the night that he reluctantly withdrew his gaze.

He picked her up in a princess carry, quietly sending her back to her room. When he turned to leave, his footsteps paused.

A dark light flashed across his black eyes.

Xue Chen went back, picked Ning Shengsheng up again, and walked leisurely back to his own room.

He placed Ning Shengsheng gently on the inside.

He lay down on the outside of the bed.

He took off his outer robe and tossed it aside casually. Frowning slightly, feeling it wasn’t enough, he pulled open the collar of his inner robe.

Revealing a large expanse of his chest.

His fingertips pressed red marks onto it, one by one.

Xue Chen lowered his head and smiled with satisfaction.

…

Ning Shengsheng slept particularly soundly thanks to the alcohol.

Vaguely, she heard someone calling her name outside.

She slowly came to.

Perhaps the aftereffects of the wine were strong; she pressed her temples with a headache before slowly opening her eyes.

This opening of eyes was a shock.

The young man’s exquisite face was right in front of her eyes, less than three fingers’ distance away from her.

Fake, right?

How could Xue Chen be sleeping next to her?

Ning Shengsheng closed her eyes in disbelief, chanting in her mind: Fake, it’s fake, it’s all fake.

She opened her eyes slowly again.

Xue Chen’s face was still there!

Holy crap!

She sat up in a panic and looked down. Good, good, my clothes are still on.

Her brain spun rapidly.

Thinking about how to quietly step over Xue Chen and get out of bed.

Then quietly leave this place.

Ning Shengsheng estimated the distance. Her legs weren’t short, and her flexibility was okay.

She licked her lips nervously.

Trembling, she stepped out her left leg, trying her best not to touch a single strand of Xue Chen’s hair.

Good!

Left leg landed successfully!

Now she just needed to pull her right leg out, and she could pretend nothing had happened.

Pull!

Ning Shengsheng grabbed her right leg with her right hand. Why can’t I pull it out? She panted and looked back.

This look left her dumbfounded.

A fair, slender hand was tightly gripping her ankle.

The corners of Xue Chen’s mouth held a teasing smile. “Princess, are you planning to deny the debt after eating your fill?”

“I didn’t! I didn’t eat you!”

Ning Shengsheng was so scared she sat down on the spot.

The position she sat in was slightly awkward; she sat right on Xue Chen’s lower abdomen and upper thighs.

Uh…

Young people are quite energetic.

Blushing, she tried to get out of bed, but was pulled back by the person behind her. She rolled over and returned to the inner side of the bed.

“That…”

Ning Shengsheng looked at the ceiling, her eyes darting around.

“Don’t rack your brains for excuses, Your Highness.”

He propped himself up on the bed and sat up slowly. The hem of his inner robe slipped down, revealing a lean lower back.

She took a quick glance.

The moon-white inner clothes hung loosely on his body, the collar more wrinkled than anywhere else.

Xue Chen seemed to know where she was looking.

He sighed faintly.

“Last night, Your Highness was drunk. This subject wanted to send you back to your room, but you held onto me and refused to let go.”

“Muttering about…”

He stopped there.

Ning Shengsheng covered her face. “What nonsense did I say?”

Her alcohol tolerance was poor. Every time she drank, she didn’t know what crazy things she did.

“Princess said she didn’t want to be alone, wanted to be with me, and also said…”

The young man lowered his eyes and straightened his wrinkled collar.

“Said what else?”

She felt like dying. She covered her face in deep shame.

“Said my appearance is so good looking, might as well touch it, might as well use it… use…”

“Ahhhhhhh!”

“I’m not listening, I’m not listening!”

Ning Shengsheng reached out and covered Xue Chen’s mouth.

“You’re lying! That definitely wasn’t me! How could I speak my heart out after getting drunk? I am a very reserved person, I, I, I…”

Witnessing her incoherent speech.

A smile spread in the depths of Xue Chen’s eyes. He reached out and held her wrist, removing her hand.

“Oh? So those were the Princess’s true thoughts?”

“!!!”

Ning Shengsheng’s brain buzzed. She yanked her hand back, her fingertips tingling.

Her whole face turned red along with it.

“You, you put your clothes on properly first…”
