Quick Transmigration: Forbidden to Covet Beautiful NPCs

Inside the simple room, with the doors and windows closed, the light grew increasingly dim as the sun set.

Huo Tongzhou was fiddling with a small box, its color dark, filled with all sorts of eye-catching jewelry, including gold bracelets, pearl necklaces, and gemstone rings.

Scattered across the bottom are gold bars, shining brightly.

The tall figure fell heavily to the ground, its form silent.

With a "click," the lid closed, and a large, strong hand deftly locked the latch, resting lightly on the lid.

As it grew darker, he finally moved.

Wu Tongxue never expected that Huo Tongzhou would dare to climb over the wall to find him in the middle of the night.

They used the same method as before, completely unaware that something was wrong last time.

The candles on the table were relit, a sliver of orange light flickering in the air, wisps of dark blue smoke swirling and curling upwards.

Without a second thought, he lit the candles, and the shadows on the ground swayed. Huo Tongzhou turned around.

His deep, cold face was half-lit and half-shadowed, with sharp eyebrows. He pulled out a chair, sat down, casually placed his hands on his lap, and looked up ahead.

Wu Tongxue sat up in bed, lifted the covers, and got out.

He lowered his voice and asked, "Why are you here?"

Needless to say, Yan Liang was definitely awake at this moment, and couldn't help but turn around and take another look.

Huo Tongzhou watched him walk towards him, step by step, his steps steady and light.

Her jet-black hair brushed against her fair face, the black and white contrasting sharply in the darkness. Her eyes were like black lacquer, and her lips like cinnabar.

Her figure was as slender as a willow branch, emerging from the night, so beautiful that she seemed like a spirit or ghost that had stepped out of a painting.

The moment they appear, they can firmly occupy everyone's attention and control the beating of their heartstrings.

Wu Tongxue raised her hand and waved it in front of his eyes to get his attention.

"What are you thinking?"

Why are you not moving or saying anything?

His dazed dark eyes suddenly became imposing. "I can't stand it."

"The thought of you lying in another man's arms at night makes me furious."

Before he could react, Huo Tongzhou grabbed his wrist and moved closer, staring straight at him as he said, "I won't allow any other man to touch you."

Wu Tongxue's heart skipped a beat, and then he continued, "I can't bear it for even a second longer."

He continued talking to himself, without needing to answer.

The grip on his wrist suddenly loosened, and calloused fingers gently caressed his wrist with a pressure that was neither too light nor too heavy, carrying a certain indescribable meaning.

His cold, angry gaze changed meaning, as if all his anger had dissipated and his whole body relaxed.

"What is your relationship with him..." The words, as light as the wind, reached his ears, and without turning around, he knew it was Yan Liang.

Only he could hear it.

Wu Tongxue felt like he was walking on pins and needles, with wolves in front and tigers behind.

"What is your relationship with that educated youth Bai?"

Wu Tongxue was stunned for a moment before realizing that the question was asked by Huo Tongzhou.

Wu Tongxue: "!!!"

Huo Tongzhou asked the question casually, his tone not aggressive, but some subtle gestures indicated that he was not asking it casually.

"Hmm? Bai Zhiqing..." The indifferent voice reached my ears again.

Wu Tongxue raised her hand and yawned, a hint of sleepiness appearing in her eyes. "Bai Zhiqing? He knows an old traditional Chinese medicine doctor and occasionally brings me medicine."

“He’s a good person. That medicine is so bitter.” She frowned slightly as she spoke. “Actually, there’s no need to keep drinking it. I know my own body.”

Huo Tongzhou paused in his hand movements. "Good medicine tastes bitter. I'll bring you some candy later."

He had, of course, done his research beforehand and knew that the doctor was exceptionally skilled.

Huo Tongzhou wanted to ask something more, but seeing his tired appearance, he lost the will to ask.

Let's do it tomorrow. We can ask again tomorrow.

Wu Tongxue placed her hands on the table, then lay down, her eyes half-closed.
