Quick Wear: The villain is a heartthrob, and the boss can't stand it

The journey was so slow that we didn't arrive until noon the next day.

The location of the Huangzhou governor's office is Yucheng.

Looking inside from the city gate, the place was dead silent. The soldiers guarding the city gate were drooping with exhaustion, and their laziness was visibly evident.

However, the sight of two fine horses pulling a dilapidated carriage that looked like it would fall apart at any moment was so funny and weird that it made those people take a second look.

Xingjiu sat on the wheel rut, looking calm and composed, grinning with his big white teeth showing, and warmly greeted every citizen he met in the city.

Pei Jing pushed down the straw hat on his head and closed the curtain to prevent Sui Yu from being in such an embarrassing situation.

In the carriage, Cui Ci'an leaned over and covered Sui Yu's ears to save himself some face.

Sui Yu and Pei Jing had the same question, "Why did you find a follower with a completely different personality from your own?"

Or... is Cui Ci'an just such a whimsical person? He just hides his true nature.

The teasing in the girl's eyes was too obvious. Cui Ci'an was choked twice, and the wounds on his body that were almost healing began to heal. He leaned weakly against Sui Yu.

"He and I have a life-and-death friendship." Cui Ci'an's eyes seemed to be reminiscing, and a little smile inadvertently leaked out, "If it weren't for him, I might not be here anymore."

Maybe it was just Xingjiu's personality that was like that, which somewhat brought some fun to the lifeless Cui Ci'an.

In the days when he thought Sui Yu was dead and he himself could not die, he was very glad to have such a person to accompany him.

The fragility revealed in the man's words, coupled with his "severely injured" body, made his face turn gentle.

It's like a piece of porcelain with red winding branches. You can't help but want to touch it, but you are afraid of breaking it easily.

Half of Sui Yu's body was pulled into the man's arms. He said that he was leaning on her, but in fact it was more like Sui Yu was buried in his chest.

Just by lowering her head slightly, from Sui Yu's perspective, she could see his thick and long eyelashes clearly.

It trembles slightly in the sunlight, and it would be more beautiful if it had tears on it.

Sui Yu has no resistance to beautiful things, whether they are people or anything else.

When she was being pulled into his arms again, she breathed a sigh of relief and gave up struggling.

........

Not long after entering the city gate, Pei Jing pointed to the tallest restaurant and said, "Go there."

Xingjiu hissed softly as a foot silently extended from the carriage and kicked him. He quickly fell silent, but still cautiously confirmed, "Do you have enough money?"

Even if you are rich, the emperor is far away and you can't keep accounts, right?

They don’t recognize it!

I think that’s what he thought at first, and he almost ran away.

Pei Jing wanted to kick him too. He didn't know how Cui Ci'an could bear not to transfer this person away. "This is my family's property."

"Aren't you the ones in the Criminal Justice Department the most well-informed? How come you don't know such a small thing?"

Xingjiu complained inwardly, you said it was a trivial matter. We are so busy on weekdays, how can we have time to understand these trivial matters!

Pei Jingxie stopped joking with him, jumped out of the carriage and offered Sui Yu his hand to help her down. "Rest well in the restaurant first. Later today... I'll take you to find Xie Shengzhi."

Having already made up his mind to be the one outside Sui Yu, Pei Jinghe advised himself to be magnanimous so that Yaoyao would feel more sorry for him.

He specifically asked a Hua Niang who was someone else's mistress for advice.

No matter how ashamed he was of these things before, Pei Jingxun now felt ashamed.

Perhaps due to the drought, not many people came to eat or stay overnight, and it could even be said that the place was deserted.

Before she even showed the name of the young master as soon as she entered the door, the shopkeeper recognized... Sui Yulai.

"Oh, is this Sixth Lady? You've actually come to Huangzhou! Hurry, waiter, quickly finish what you're doing and clean up Room 1 on the top floor. Our distinguished guest has arrived."

Sui Yu blinked, a little curious, "How do you know me?"

"Well," the shopkeeper greeted the customer with a smile, "We have portraits of you and Madam Pei in every branch. The boss has specifically instructed that no matter which branch we are in, if anyone sees you two and doesn't recognize you, they will be fined."

Besides, considering Sui Yu and Pei Ying’s appearance, if one didn’t recognize them, he would be considered half-blind.

The shopkeeper has traveled all over the Ying Dynasty and met so many people that it is impossible for him not to remember this.

There was still important business to be done, so it was not convenient to chat too much. After cleaning the No. 1 room and the three upper rooms, Pei Jingxue walked forward, took Sui Yu's hand, and led her into the room.

"We've stayed in the cave all night. I'll have someone bring up a bowl of ginger soup later. You must drink it, okay?"

Pei Jingxie reached out to touch Sui Yu's forehead. Fortunately, she didn't have a fever, but her physical condition has never been very good. It would be helpful for her to drink a bowl of ginger soup to drive away the cold.

Sui Yu was helpless and pushed him into the room, "Don't nag me, I know."

As he spoke, his eyes moved slightly, "I'll go down and see how the medicine I boiled for the injured is doing."

Who else could the injured person be? That bastard Cui Ci'an was actually pretending to be weak. Pei Jing took a deep breath and didn't chase Sui Yu anymore, telling him to go by himself.

........

Huangzhou was short of water, but Fumanlou was still able to provide them with hot water for bathing and even thoughtfully gave them bath beans, truly treating them as the most distinguished guests.

Previously, because things were crowded together, all the things that I didn't have time to think carefully about exploded in my mind, and then were connected by an invisible thread.

If... Xie Shengzhi knew about the system, or the existence of external forces -

When she was forced to take the initiative to propose marriage, before Sui Yu could think of the right words, the matchmaker came to propose marriage, using the best of the six rituals in the shortest time possible. Even in such a rush, she did not feel wronged...

Cui Ci'an walked into the wrong room on the night of Shangsi Festival...

Although they were clearly physically repulsed, they didn't strengthen the guards to prevent Pei Jing from climbing over the wall and through the window to Xie's house...

The strict mother-in-law who never gave her any trouble...

And this time, he was hiding behind the scenes, as if he had known she would come to save Cui Ci'an, and had already prepared what she needed...

There might be more that she didn't know, but if she made that assumption, everything would make sense.

He can easily get her information by bypassing layers of protection and help her complete the task before the system assigns it.

Adding to what was said before, it seemed that there was no one else except Xie Shengzhi who would give so much for her without reservation.

Pei Jing is not smart enough, Cui Ci'an...

Their interactions haven't been particularly deep yet, and he rarely has such opportunities.

Many things in her memory have been erased, and some may even be fabricated. Sui Yu is vaguely doubting which of her so-called real world and the present is where she really is.

The more I thought about it, the faster my heart beat, so hard that it almost jumped out of my chest. My heart was in a panic, and it was running rampant in my chest without any rhythm. I didn't worry at all whether my body could bear its beating.

Sui Yu has felt this way for twenty years.

From having no idea at all to being able to install a pacemaker, wear protective gear, protect every inch of myself, and not let myself be frightened.

This is what her parents taught her.

The bath tub was very deep, deeper than her previous bathtub, and Sui Yu lay in it effortlessly.

The water flooded her from the top of her head, first accumulating around her eye sockets, and then squeezing into her nasal cavity. When she could no longer hold her breath, even her ears would collapse and be flooded with water.

You won't choke in the water, you'll just feel suffocated, and your hands will start to move subconsciously. But if you want to commit suicide, you can control your hands well.

Sui Yu's hands were placed neatly in front of her body. It would only take thirty seconds for her to lose consciousness, and when people found her, she might be swollen, but it didn't matter, she would still look good even if she was swollen.

Twenty-six——

Sui Yu's consciousness was already blurred, but she was able to slowly open her eyes and see the candlelight swaying faintly, reflecting spots of light in the water.

……

Twenty-nine——

A bright green data link suddenly emerged from the void at an extremely fast speed, as if it was afraid of missing something and causing an irreparable mistake. It quickly wrapped around Sui Yu and lifted her up.

Water splashed around Sui Yu, but not a drop flew out of the barrel, as if it was blocked inside by an invisible force, unable to break through the transparent, invisible membrane.

[The system is temporarily being taken over by the main system room. Please stop your suicidal behavior, otherwise the original small world will be destroyed.]

Sui Yu looked listless, "I don't want to live anymore, so why should I care about your so-called threat? I won't be able to see you if I die anyway, so it's up to you."

As Sui Yu said this, she was about to sink into the water again. This time, the data link's binding technique was more skillful, and it turned into the shape of a hand frame so that Sui Yu could feel more comfortable.

Sui Yu ignored its slightest concern and said in a mocking tone, "Didn't they say they can't interfere with the host's autonomous behavior, they're just assisting?"
