Chapter 187 Foolish but Powerful Beauty vs. Delicate but Vampiric God of War (23)
Tao and Qin Meng had never seen this bird before, and they were both stunned for a moment.
"Where did this bird come from?" Tao looked around, her neck aching from looking up, but she didn't see another bird fall from the sky. "Why isn't it afraid of people?"
He Suining took out its little cloth bag from its pocket, took out a snack from inside, and fed it to the dog.
As she removed the letter tube from its neck, she answered Tao, "This is my little bird; it helps me deliver messages."
There was a small letter from Esta in the mailbox.
Just a few days ago, He Suining had already sent out a letter to Esta, informing him that they would be arriving in the Upper City soon.
Estadt now writes back to her, telling her.
To avoid her whereabouts being discovered, we will not pick her up.
Once she arrives in the upper district, she'll find an inn to stay at. He'll then send someone to find her and introduce her to someone she can work with to take revenge.
After He Suining finished reading the letter.
It was burned directly.
Peach tried to tease the little bird with her finger, but the bird ignored her and was busy preening its own feathers.
After He Suining finished reading the letter.
Holding its round body, I released it into the air.
It flew into the air and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
But whenever He Suining wants to find it, she just needs to call its name and it will come down.
Peach didn't care what the letter was about; she was just annoyed that she couldn't amuse the bird.
The feathers looked very soft.
Qin Meng turned and stared intently at her. "Do you have acquaintances in the Upper District?"
Tao then realized, "Oh right~ Ningning, if you know someone in the upper district, can we enter the city smoothly?"
It's not convenient to disclose everything about Esta.
So she smiled and said, "I do know someone here. Anyway, don't worry about getting into the city. You'll definitely be able to get in."
Qin Meng didn't ask any more questions.
Continue cooking.
The rice and dishes were ready quickly, and everyone ate their fill.
After noon, we rested for a while and then continued on our way.
We're almost at the upper city area this time.
Around nightfall, they finally passed through a small town.
After questioning.
If you continue walking through this small town, it won't be long before you reach the entrance to the upper town.
Because I was worried that something might go wrong at night.
Everyone was tired, so He Suining decided to stay overnight at a hotel in the town.
I'm completely unfamiliar with this place.
To avoid any problems, the cautious He Suining booked a large room with four beds, enough for four people to sleep.
Peach entered the room.
Looking out the open window, she said, "Ningning, it's raining. We're so lucky."
He Suining looked outside.
The rain was falling in a steady patter.
It's not very big, but it's definitely not small either.
If they hadn't entered the town and had chosen to continue onward, even though they were sheltered inside the carriage, the carriage was difficult to navigate in the rain, and the woman driving it would have gotten soaked.
"Close the windows." He Suining glanced at it once and then looked away. "Don't catch a cold."
"Okay." Tao obediently closed the window.
Turning around, I saw Qin Meng lying on the bed, covered by a blanket, even his head was covered.
She was puzzled. "Is Qin Meng that tired? He's already asleep?"
He Suining found it a bit strange.
Qin Meng seemed to have gone to fetch the horse, and came up later.
She frowned.
Go outside.
The woman was drinking some hot water in the hall when she saw her come out. She seemed a little flustered. "Miss, is there anything I can help you with?"
He Suining is actually a pretty good employer.
She speaks forcefully but gently.
She was paid every penny she was owed, and she was never shortchanged on food and drinks along the way.
However, the woman was still a little scared.
It may be due to deeply ingrained class ideology.
She didn't know the identities of the other two, but she felt that the one in front of her was no ordinary person; she might be a noble lady who had fallen on hard times.
Even a fallen nobleman is still a nobleman; she can't afford to offend him.
“Afran.” He Suining looked around the hall.
The hotel here is small but cozy, and there was a family of three eating nearby.
The children were making a lot of noise.
The father, with a fierce expression, tried to stop the child, while the mother smiled gently.
She couldn't help but smile. "Was there anything wrong when Qin Meng and you went to get the horses and unload the luggage? I noticed that Qin Meng seemed unhappy when he got back."
We're almost at the upper city area.
Qin Meng can't afford to have any problems, otherwise her previous investments would be wasted.
Afran paused for a moment, then thought carefully. "No, we just took the horse, paid the money as Miss instructed, and had someone feed it... oh."
suddenly.
Afraid seemed to remember something and turned to look at the family of three beside her.
Hesitant to speak.
"It's alright, Afran." He Suining smiled gently. "Just say what's on your mind."
Afran spoke, somewhat confused, in a very low voice, so that only the two of them could hear, "We led the horses to the backyard and settled everything before coming in. The young master was accidentally bumped by that child, and then the couple came over to apologize..."
between words.
It seemed she was referring to the fact that this matter had made Qin Meng unhappy, but Afran herself clearly found it laughable to say it. "It's just this matter, nothing else. But Miss, Young Master Qin Meng shouldn't be so petty, should he?"
"John, don't run around!"
"Honey, don't mind him. We were just as mischievous when we were little."
The family of three next to them were still chatting happily.
He Suining looked over again.
The man no longer had a fierce look on his face; instead, the woman looked at her child and husband with a helpless yet doting expression.
She understood something.
She shook her head at Afran, "It's really not because of this. It's alright, Afran, you go about your business."
Done.
He Suining turned around and went back to her room.
Tao is no longer in the room. When she came out, Tao said she was going to take a shower, so she probably went to the bathroom.
She looked at Qin Meng, who was wrapped up like a silkworm.
It might be due to the built-in filter.
I actually found Qin Meng kind of cute when he was throwing a tantrum and feeling sad.
He Suining did not comfort him.
She opened the window and watched the rain falling continuously outside. Some of it landed on her face, cool and refreshing, carried by the wind—it felt quite nice.
"He Suining".
Qin Meng had already heard the commotion inside the room.
He Suining's footsteps sounded different from Tao's, so he knew it was him as soon as he heard them.
He started to get stuck on the details.
He's made it so obvious, yet she hasn't shown any concern for him.
angry!
Qin Meng waited for a while, and then heard the sound of a window opening.
He angrily threw off the covers, sat up in bed, and stared at her with sullen, dark eyes.
I feel a little irritable.
But I don't know why I'm angry.
He simply got out of bed.
He walked straight to He Suining's side and saw the rain pouring in from outside. His gaze involuntarily fell on her; her wheat-colored skin was stained with raindrops, which occasionally slid down her skin.
He awkwardly looked away.
Then I wondered why he moved it away, since he hadn't seen anything he shouldn't have.
So he continued to stare at her.
He Suining could clearly sense that he was paying attention to her, but she didn't react in any extra way. She smiled and stretched out a hand to catch the falling raindrops.
"...What's so interesting about this?"
Qin Meng didn't quite understand, but he still followed suit and reached out his hand.
Wait until you reach out your hand.
He then noticed that He Suining's hands were quite small, much smaller than his own. He wondered if all girls had small hands, and he had never paid attention to it before.
"Qin Meng, have you ever been caught in the rain?"
He Suining's question puzzled him. He frowned and said, "Who hasn't been caught in the rain?"
She froze for a moment.
Her smile widened, becoming radiant, and it dazzled Qin Meng's eyes and mind. "I mean, have you ever intentionally gotten caught in the rain?"
Why get caught in the rain?
It's not like I don't have a cloak.
But when the words were about to come out, I felt I shouldn't say them; it would be a bit of a downer.
He simply shook his head. "No."
He Suining's eyes flashed.
Before he could react, Qin Meng was suddenly pulled by her and staggered outside.
Qin Meng was forced to follow her. "He Suining, what are you doing?"
"Call me 'sister,' you idiot."
Qin Meng sighed helplessly, "I'm not stupid..."
"You're really shrewd." He Suining ran forward, occasionally glancing back at him. "You don't call me 'sister' unless you need something from me."
Was discovered.
Actually, he hadn't been pretending at all, but he didn't expect He Suining to suddenly expose him at this moment. However, looking at the smile on her pretty face, she didn't seem to be accusing him. "I... I'm not that much older than you, why do I have to call you 'sister'?"
He Suining listened to what he said.
I suddenly remembered a line I once saw on a short video: "If you don't call someone younger 'sister,' they might have a wild side."
She smiled meaningfully.
She didn't say anything more, but kept holding his wrist.
soon.
The two of them ran out.
It was already dark, but since it was still early, no one in the town had gone to sleep. Faint light shone from the windows, and there were some stalls on the street with candles lit inside, barely providing any illumination.
As soon as it comes out.
A lot of cold raindrops pelted He Suining and Qin Meng's faces and bodies.
You don't need to stand there for long at all.
They became wet.
Qin Meng pursed his lips, staring at the arm she was holding, and remained silent for a few seconds before walking inside without shaking her off.
Instead, she foolishly stood with him in the rain.
in fact.
He really felt a bit silly.
Qin Meng looked at He Suining.
She seemed quite happy, tilting her head back and enjoying the feeling of being soaked by the rain, her eyes almost closed. Her long eyelashes, wet with raindrops, curled even more noticeably.
Just like her hair.
Qin Meng uncontrollably reached out his other hand.
Slowly approaching her hair.
He Suining's hair is curled up, and it sometimes moves as she walks, making her look playful and cute.
He wanted to touch it.
Just when we were about to meet.
He Suining suddenly looked delighted and pointed to a puddle in front of her, "There's a puddle over there!"
Qin Meng was taken aback.
She dragged me there again.
When they got there, she let go of his wrist.
He didn't even react.
He Suining turned to him with a smile, "Qin Meng!"
Rumble.
It's thundering.
Her voice grew louder, and even though he was right next to her, she called out his name. "When I was little, I could only rest on rainy days. Back then, I didn't have any toys to play with, so I would run to the yard and jump in the puddles."
Qin Meng may not know this.
She wasn't talking about the original owner's life, but about her own.
On the blue planet, those childhood memories.
To prepare her for becoming the Queen's knight, her family was extremely strict with her. She was forbidden from laughing, crying, or making a fuss; she was not allowed to have any of the emotions a child should have. She will always remember her mother's cold, dark eyes, like those of a goddess in ancient Greek mythology.
And her words.
"Sui Ning, you are our family's only hope for gaining the new queen's approval. The lives and honor of hundreds of family members rest on your shoulders. You must work hard, do you understand?"
Her father's deep, loving yet stern voice echoed in her ears, "You are not an ordinary little girl; you are the knight of the future queen. You don't need emotions; you only need to be calm and composed to help Regina become queen. This is your mission, understand?"
From that moment on.
He Suining realized that she was no longer a "normal" child.
Her life revolves around training and spending time with Regina.
She wouldn't allow anyone to play with any toys.
She could only rest on rainy days. Without toys, she would run out into the yard to get wet in the rain, jumping into puddles and splashing around.
Even with mud splattered on her, she laughed happily like a fool.
Wait till the end.
She would secretly change back into clean clothes, and sometimes Regina would find out. Although she couldn't play with her, she would keep the secret.
once.
She also made a pinky promise with Regina for a hundred years, a secret they both shared.
Who knows what will happen in the end?
Regina would stab her in the back simply because He Suining was too powerful.
The number one war god in the interstellar space.
The Marquis Knight, beloved by the people, had a nickname: Vivian.
It was named by Regina, who had become the Rose Queen.
At that time, Regina said something that particularly moved her: "Sui Ning, you once said that your parents told you that 'Sui Sui An Ning' meant peace for the country and the Queen, and had nothing to do with you. So today I bestow upon you the name Vivian. This name means the name of a witch in ancient Greek mythology that represents 'life, vitality, beauty, and fun'."
I hope your future will be like this.
"He Suining!"
Qin Meng noticed that He Suining started to space out as she was talking.
A rare look of bewilderment and sadness appeared on her delicate face, which made his heart clench.
He didn't like seeing her like this.
If he could, he would prefer her to flirt with him in a frivolous way.
Qin Meng suddenly called out, "Sister!"
He Suining smiled and snapped out of her daze, then playfully pinched his cheek. "Why are you calling me 'sister'? You're so sweet-talking, do you want some candy?"
