Marrying a concubine to seduce him and lure him into the game

Facing Su Rao's question, Cheng Xinyue's eyes became unusually sincere and enthusiastic: "You... are different from them. I hope you can win."

At this moment, Cheng Xinyue's sincerity almost moved Su Rao's heart.

In a trance, fragments of memory came flooding in like a tide, and a similar scene from the previous life gradually pieced together in my mind.

At that time, she was also full of desire for that hairpin and was not tempted by material things.

Just because it is a symbol of integrating into that circle and getting close to certain people.

In the face of Cheng Xinyue's sudden kindness, Su Rao's heart was filled with gratitude.

Without thinking too much, he jumped into the dark, damp and cold dry well.

At the bottom of the well, the moist air was mixed with a pungent smell of corruption, and the surroundings were filled with rotten things.

The suffocating atmosphere was almost unbearable for her.

Su Rao clenched her teeth and said to herself that as long as she could get through these twenty minutes, everything would be fine.

Time seemed to be stretched, and every second seemed as long as a year.

As time went by, Su Rao began to feel something was wrong.

Cheng Xinyue's promise seemed to be empty words. It was so quiet around her that she could only hear her own heartbeat and faint breathing.

Finally, she mustered up the courage and shouted for help towards the wellhead, but all she got in response was dead silence.

It turned out that everyone else had left, leaving her alone trapped at the bottom of the well without seeing the sun.

Su Rao suddenly realized that she had been fooled by a carefully designed joke, and Cheng Xinyue's help was just a trap.

Despair followed her like a shadow, and she began to realize that this remote dry well seemed to have become her cage, isolating her from the hustle and bustle of the outside world.

In this enclosed darkness, she felt unprecedented loneliness and helplessness, and even every struggle seemed so futile.

The manhole cover seemed to be pressed down by a thousand-pound stone. She used all her strength but was unable to move it at all.

Just when despair was about to consume her and hope seemed to have been completely extinguished.

A tiny but warm ray of light penetrated the gap at the wellhead and shone into the deep darkness.

It was the dawn of rescue, coming from a simple-looking stranger.

This unexpected help, like a rain of sweet rain in the desert, rekindled the fire of hope in Su Rao's heart.

When she stood in front of Huo Chengjun and her companions with disheveled hair, not only did they not show the slightest apology in their eyes, but they competed with each other in using sarcastic words to mercilessly mock her miserable appearance.

Some people even asked her out of curiosity how she had fallen into this miserable situation step by step.

Faced with such harsh questions, she just smiled faintly, as if she was telling someone else's story, and replied: "It's just that I accidentally fell into an ancient well that has been dry for a long time."

Indeed, she dared not speak out, nor could she speak out, because in this world.

She must silently bear the consequences for Shen Jinghong's future and cannot make any mistakes.

So she could only be as humble as a stray dog ​​begging for mercy.

Begging for the slightest sympathy from those proud souls.

Su Rao pulled herself out of that heavy memory, cast her eyes deeply toward the dry well not far away, and murmured to herself: "However, I have never longed for victory."

As soon as these words were spoken, Cheng Xinyue was stunned, as if she could not understand Su Rao's mood.

"Prince Yi dotes on me. I can choose from all the luxury and wealth in the palace. The Queen has also given me countless precious treasures. What is a hairpin compared to this endless favor?"

Su Rao's tone was full of disdain, and every word she said revealed that she had completely let go of the past.

Now, she no longer has to compromise for Shen Jinghong's future, nor does she have to deliberately please someone like Huo Chengjun.

In her eyes, Huo Chengjun and his group have become insignificant.

Cheng Xinyue still didn't give up and tried to persuade him again: "But if you win, Cheng Jun will accept you. Don't you want to laugh and have fun with us?"

Su Rao responded in a flattered and slightly arrogant manner: "I am already satisfied to be favored by Prince Yi. Besides, I have to take care of Prince Yi wholeheartedly. I am busy with my life and really have no time to participate in your games."

Still, she half-jokingly said, "Having said that, I have to participate in the game. I'll just hide here."

After saying that, Su Rao quickly dodged and hid behind the door, leaving Cheng Xinyue standing there in a daze.

Seeing that Huo Chengjun's count was about to end, he had to anxiously look around for a hiding place.

After a while, Huo Chengjun came over with an aura that could not be ignored.

She deliberately walked slowly towards the well, pretending to make noises.

It was like deliberately disturbing the mouse in the corner, trying to scare Su Rao who was hiding in the dark, enjoying the pleasure of being in control of the overall situation.

Huo Chengjun was secretly delighted, imagining Su Rao cowering like a mouse.

The scene of being nervous and uneasy due to the fear of being caught makes this game really interesting.

However, just as she took a few steps pretending to be calm and glanced back inadvertently, she suddenly discovered a figure hiding behind the door.

Su Rao was pretending to be surprised and said in an exaggerated tone: "Oh, it was discovered so quickly, Chengjun, I really admire your cleverness."

Huo Chengjun was suddenly speechless, with a gloomy look on his face.

Su Rao took the opportunity to urge: "There are still two that have not been found, Chengjun, please continue."

At this moment, Huo Chengjun was in no mood to continue playing the game.

It was obvious that He Lianyun and Cheng Xinyue deliberately made the noise so that she could find them easily.

Huo Chengjun glared at Cheng Xinyue fiercely, his eyes full of dissatisfaction and blame.

Seeing this, Cheng Xinyue couldn't help but shrink her neck and subconsciously dodged backwards.

"Cheng Xinyue, you did a great job. You even made Cheng Jun's shoes dirty."

He Lianyun accused in surprise.

Cheng Xinyue quickly apologized, then knelt down and carefully licked the dust off Huo Chengjun's shoes with her tongue.

The scene shocked Su Rao so much that she was speechless and felt mixed emotions.

He Lianyun noticed that the tense lines on Huo Chengjun's face gradually softened.

The corners of his mouth curled up into a satisfied smile, and then he slowly spoke: "That's good enough, you have to be more careful next time."

There was a sense of authority and concern in his tone that could not be ignored.

Cheng Xinyue shrank slightly, her eyes dodged, and her voice was as thin as a mosquito: "Yes... yes."

When she turned her head, the corner of her eye quickly swept across Su Rao, and there was a hint of resentment in her eyes.

Just like a meteor flashing across the night sky, it was caught by Su Rao's sharp eyes, and ripples appeared in Su Rao's heart.

"This game of hide-and-seek is really too boring. Why not change to a more challenging game to add a touch of excitement to our afternoon?"

He Lianyun suggested, with an eager gleam in her eyes.

The four of them then left the dilapidated courtyard and stepped into the shooting range dappled with sunlight.
