Rong Tang never asked Su Huaijing what his plans were.
How far will he go for Sheng Chengming, what has he discussed with the princess, how many traps has he laid in the dark, and when will he close them...
Rong Tang didn't ask any questions. He had a very pure and natural trust in Su Huaijing.
Sometimes the system couldn't stand it, stamped its feet and said angrily: [You were never like this in your previous two lives! ]
Rong Tang replied righteously: "Does the male lead you chose have the capital for me to trust him so much?"
The system jammed immediately, and a halo of anger spun in the space for a long time, then ran to Rong Tang's head and acted wildly, but the system couldn't find a word to refute him.
No, Sheng Chengli is not worthy.
No matter how loyal and trustworthy a person is to him, they may be devoured by him in one bite.
That is a poisonous snake. All the descriptions about Su Huaijing in the original text should be transferred to him.
And Su Huaijing…
The small system racked its brains for several days, but still couldn't think of an animal that was more suitable to describe this villain.
Like a peacock, it would spread its tail in front of Tangtang.
Like a rabbit, it can act coquettishly and behave well.
Like wolfhounds, they can set traps and catch prey.
He looks like everything, so much so that it's hard to find the most appropriate description.
Until one day when he had nothing to do, Rong Tang picked up his brush and painted a picture of a tiger returning to the mountains on brown paper.
The system suddenly had an idea and finally figured out what Su Huaijing looked like.
He is like a tiger, lurking in broad daylight and hunting in quiet and deserted places.
He did not hide anything he did, and even said that he was blatant. However, no one, from Emperor Renshou to civil and military officials, suspected him.
Who would doubt a frank and tolerant tiger
The poisonous snake and the fierce tiger each circled their territory in the jungle and fought with each other. Only when they met could the winner be determined.
And without exception, Su Huaijing won in the previous two lives.
—Then the world was destroyed.
The system nestles in space. It is a creation of data and should not feel tired. However, in this world, whether it is to simulate human senses or because it has higher authority and capabilities than other systems, it finds itself becoming more and more like a person.
You will feel sleepy, sad, happy and lost, disappointed and angry.
It doesn't quite understand whether it was infected by staying with the host for too long, or whether it possesses these abilities itself.
But what’s the point of having these emotions if it’s a system that only knows how to issue tasks
The system couldn't figure it out, and the connection channel with the main brain was also closed, and the host had no idea why these symptoms appeared on its body.
Half of the four years have passed, and they only have the last two or three years left. It's a bit of a loss to be trapped by these empty questions.
So the system didn't ask, and just accompanied Rong Tang day by day, being his parasite, and feeling his own sleepiness day by day.
Returning to Yong'an Lane from Ningxuan Palace, it was getting dark. Rong Tang walked out of Tanghua Courtyard and took a look at the residence of the women in the deep garden. He was still worried, so he turned around and asked Su Huaijing: "Do you have a way to let my grandmother go to the temple to pray on the first day of the new year?"
Su Huaijing did not answer immediately. He looked at him with a smile, as if he knew everything in the world, and asked, "Tangtang wants to find a way out for your cousin?"
Rong Tang paused for a moment, then realized: "When did you arrive at the pond?"
Su Huaijing did not hide it and said with a smile: "When you said that you would not live long."
Rong Tang's expression changed slightly, and a layer of slight nervousness rose in his heart. He wanted to explain that it was just an excuse he made up to comfort Rong Ying.
But it is somewhat strange to speak of this kind of thing alone.
So he didn't say anything for a while, and carefully glanced at Su Huaijing's expression, afraid that he would be unhappy about this again.
Su Huaijing smiled, grabbed his wrist, and walked along the path toward the gate of the mansion: "I'm not angry."
Rong Tang looked at him suspiciously.
Su Huaijing laughed: "I'm not as stingy as Tangtang."
Rong Tang: “?”
He was frustrated for a moment, and asked unhappily, "Do you have the nerve to blame someone else?"
Su Huaijing nodded: "That's very nice of you."
"… "
Rong Tang had no way to deal with him, so he just walked forward, not wanting to look at him. However, his hand was held by someone, so he couldn't walk fast, and he always stayed two or three steps in front of and behind Su Huaijing.
Su Huaijing said, "I'm not angry because I know Tangtang was just trying to reassure my cousin, so she belittled herself a little. Since you promised me that you would try harder so that I wouldn't be buried with you so early, why would you think about your own death every day?"
The evening breeze blew through the clouds and treetops. Su Huaijing's voice was lazy, and when he spoke these words gently and slowly, there was almost no aggressiveness at all.
Rong Tang suddenly slowed down his pace and stopped being willful.
Su Huaijing followed and walked forward at the same pace. He said, "Since Tangtang wants to find a way out for her, there is no reason for me not to help. But how it will be implemented in the end depends on her own ability. Can Tangtang understand?"
Rong Tang had not yet completely recovered from Su Huaijing's light-hearted words "buried with him". Hearing this, he thought for a moment and nodded: "I understand."
Su Huaijing was willing to add fuel to the fire and put in some effort on the Princess's side, which had already helped a lot.
But Rongtang was not happy about this.
The sunset was beautiful, and the clouds gradually took shape. They walked out along the path of Ningxuan Palace without speaking for a long time.
Just before getting on the carriage, Su Huaijing gently pulled Rong Tang's wrist, forcing him to look at him, and asked softly and firmly: "Is Rong Tang angry with me?"
"No." Rong Tang shook his head and subconsciously refuted, but he hesitated for a moment, raised his head and looked straight at him, frowned, and asked unhappily: "Are you threatening me?"
The young master was extremely angry. On the one hand, he had indeed said some words that Su Huaijing shouldn't have heard, but on the other hand, he just couldn't get over it in his heart.
Su Huaijing was clearly threatening him.
He kept saying "I won't live long", and the villain used "being buried with him" as a bargaining chip.
Is that polite
Is there anyone in this world who would threaten others with his own life
He is not Su Huaijing's father!
What does he care about him dying!
Rong Tang was angry and annoyed, and quite unhappy. Sparks began to appear in his eyes as he glared at Su Huaijing.
It’s so fierce!
Su Huaijing curved his eyes, raised the corners of his lips, and admitted frankly: "Yes, I am."
He said: "I am threatening Tangtang."
The little fire in Rong Tang's eyes was getting more and more intense. Su Huaijing said, "When we were in Jiangnan, I told you that gambling on people's hearts is the most dangerous thing to do. If you are not careful, you may put yourself in an irretrievable situation. But now I want to tell you that if it is someone who cares about you, the human heart is the easiest thing in the world to guess and control."
Rong Tang was stunned, as if he understood what he was saying.
Su Huaijing smiled lightly: "Tangtang understands."
"Tangtang cares about me, so she feels unhappy, sad and even guilty when she hears me say that she wants to be buried with you..." He paused and said softly, "Then if Tangtang keeps saying that she's going to die, won't I be sad?"
His voice was very light, scattered in the air and the wind, and was scared away by the big stone lions in front of the palace gate, and then it all disappeared.
The western sky was half covered with a layer of fiery red clouds. Summer nights are perfect for stargazing and cloud watching. The images of all living things in the world are so clear that they seem to be within reach.
Rong Tang was silent for a long time, and whispered, "I'm sorry."
"It's okay." Su Huaijing coaxed him into the car and laid out nuts and tea for him: "I know why Tangtang always says these things. I'm not angry with you."
No one hopes to die. The reason why Rong Tang talks about it every day and makes himself feel relieved every day is that, in the final analysis, it is just because he knows that he really won't live long, and secondly, he wants to warn Su Huaijing and others, in case one day he really leaves and the people left in this world are unable to face the bad news suddenly.
If you are mentally prepared enough, perhaps you can really face that day calmly.
But Su Huaijing still wondered whether Rong Tang had really let it go or was forcing himself to do so.
He wanted Tangtang to have more desire to survive, but he didn't dare to give him too much hope.
Forcing a patient who knows he is going to die to have a strong desire to survive, only to find that his desire cannot be satisfied in the end, is a better blow than letting him be carefree and live with the mentality of living one day at a time. At least every day will be happy rather than filled with worries.
Su Huaijing has extravagant hopes, and it is actually a bit too much to force these hopes on Rong Tang.
But he was always unwilling and dissatisfied. He wanted to use himself as a bargaining chip to threaten Rong Tang a little.
Let him also experience the fear that I feel every day.
But after Rong Tang apologized in such a soft voice, Su Huaijing lost all his temper.
He peeled a small plate of nuts for Rong Tang and heard Young Master Rong ask him doubtfully, "Really?"
Su Huaijing smiled helplessly: "Really, I'm not angry, Tangtang can say whatever you want to say, I won't take it seriously."
Rong Tang stared at him for a long time, then nodded: "Okay."
As a result, that night, Su Huaijing boiled medicine for Rong Tang as usual. When he returned to the courtyard and saw the young master lying on the beauty couch watching the stars and enjoying the cool air, he wanted to go back and beat to death the big idiot who said he was not angry.
He is angry!
He is so angry!
Rong Tang was lying on the couch. It was too dark to read the storybook, so he looked up and saw the Milky Way and the nebula in the night sky. He turned his head lazily and saw Su Huaijing. He said casually, "Last year, I mortgaged my farm in Longxi to buy you a house."
Su Huaijing was at a loss for a moment. Just when he was about to ask him for the address and buy it back himself, he heard Rong Tang say heartlessly: "I probably only have two years to live. Remember to take back the manor by then. Anyway, the inheritance will be yours after I die, so don't miss it."
Su Huaijing: “…”
He looked at Rong Tang for a long time, and saw a hint of cunning and joking in the man's eyes under the starry night sky. Then he lowered his head and looked at the bowl of medicine in his hand that he was about to drink.
Pour it out and boil another bowl.
The kind without added sugar.
Good medicine tastes bitter but is good for the disease. It’s not good to feel too sorry for Tangtang.
Su Huaijing thought about it, then turned and left.
Rong Tang was stunned and called him: "Hey? Where are you going?"
"I forgot to add one medicinal ingredient. I'll boil it again." Su Huaijing lied without blinking. His voice was so cold that one could hear the grievance and depression from a distance.
Rong Tang was stunned for a long time, blinked his eyes, and suddenly laughed out loud.
A villain who says one thing and thinks another, who never tells the truth even when he's angry. Who did he learn this from
—
I learned this from you. Don’t worry, your bitter medicine is on the way. Love you.
