Chapter 191 – Night Cherry

For some reason, Shen DaiYing was in a terrible mood.

Perhaps it was unnecessary from the start.

She was Caesar’s fiancée.

She didn’t need any extra unnecessary feelings.

There were still people waiting for her to return.

So, she just had to complete her mission.

“It’s time…” She stood in the shadows and quietly muttered, her face still had her usual charming smile, it was like a beautiful mask that hid all her feelings.

She didn’t understand why she would feel so bad, it was she who rejected him… twice. It was her who gave up the possibility of happiness, and now she was jealous of the two in front of her, very contradictory, was it not?

Perhaps, it was because of weakness.

Although it was an unrealistic promise, she did indeed feel something she once sought from that youth, an ordinary life, a small happiness… but she knew that those were just hopes, but they were so wonderful, even if it was fantasy, or short like a fleeting dream, but it really existed.

But to that youth, she was a graceful princess, a perfect lover, a woman worth treating affectionately.

If only, she could respond to his feelings…

If only, she wasn’t she…

“Pervert! We’re sleeping separately from now on!” Elena’s clear voice echoed through the forest.

“Why?” Lin Xiao questioned, filled with dissatisfaction.

“There’s nothing wrong with sleeping separately! Or are you saying that you want to take advantage of me when I’m asleep and rub my… my… anyways, no!”

“No, I don’t agree! You’re my maid… even when Snow helps you get out of the slave contract after two days, I definitely won’t let you go!”

“Hmph, what a joke… Lin Xiao, without the slave contract, at that time, it won’t be up to you!”

“Ohhh, so you’re saying that I can still do whatever I want right now?” Lin Xiao extended his wicked claws towards those two large peaches.

“What? Bastard! If you dare touch me, I’ll kill you!”

Their fight still continued.

Shen DaiYing didn’t understand.

What was wrong with being a maid? Why wasn’t she able to be more humble? Perhaps Elena didn’t know, but that life was something that was unattainable for some, she also definitely didn’t know about what a happy thing it is to have a master that treasures you.

Looking after one’s master, offering them your body and soul. You don’t have to be worried or scared about anything, you don’t have to escape, just entrust your life to him and become the happiness in his life.

Elena didn’t know, in that way, she would also obtain happiness.

“How pitiful…”

Who know who she was referring to, but Shen DaiYing said that and turned and left.

When she turned to leave, Lin Xiao who was still bickering with Elena seemed to have noticed something. He turned and stared blankly, but didn’t see Shen DaiYing’s figure, only the pitch-black forest, engulfing any light and hope.

“Enemy?”

Elena thought there was someone lying in ambush, she shut her eyes and expanded her perception skill and quickly found that princess walking alone in the forest.

“It was her…”

No wonder she never saw Shen DaiYing, she was hiding and watching from nearby.

Elena hesitated about whether she should tell Lin Xiao or not, but when she opened her eyes, she saw Lin Xiao’s eyes, lost in thought.

“Is it already time…” Lin Xiao quietly whispered…

“What did you say?”

“N-nothing… heh.” Lin Xiao came to his senses and awkwardly scratched his head, “Alright, then we’ll sleep separately.”

“Oh.”

Elena didn’t know why Lin Xiao suddenly changed his mind, but she didn’t think too much about it.

So the two returned to camp and wanted to get some more sleep before daylight.

“What? Sister Ying, so you’re saying that you’ll stand guard?” After returning, Lin Xiao asked Shen DaiYing.

Rosie just fought and needed rest, so she was already asleep. Caesar expended too much energy and needed to replenish it and was also quickly falling asleep.

Of course, Lin Xiao didn’t feel like they would be able to sleep well, since they just did an embarrassing medicine applying play. Caesar held Rosie’s small feet with his hands, applied the cool ointment to his fingers, and smeared it onto Rosie’s delicate ankles bit by bit.

When the sticky ointment was applied to her smooth and sensitive skin, it was even difficult for Caesar to maintain his cool. His face was flushed and he didn’t say a word from the start to end, he didn’t even raise his head, and kneeled down next to Rosie like a servant, silently applying the medicine.

As for Rosie… she played around too much.

Even though Rosie is usually the one being bullied, but at times like these, she had the upper hand, as she continuously teased Caesar.

“Mmm… b-be gentle… ah… it hurts!”

“Stop… stop! … Not there!”

“Un… okay… come… give me more… come!”

Lin Xiao didn’t know where she learned those embarrassing lines from, or how Caesar felt when he heard them. But even he felt weird when he heard it.

Elena knew that Lin Xiao was getting heated, so she quickly got away from his and went to sleep.

So, the only ones left that could stand guard was Lin Xiao and Shen DaiYing.

“There’s still a bit until daybreak, and we don’t know if we’ll meet any other enemies, so someone has to stay up.” Shen DaiYing smiled, “So leave that to me.”

“But Sister Ying, I might as well accompany you…”

“I’m fine by myself. What, are you worried about me? I’m not a pampered rich girl, so even if I meet someone strong, I can run back and call for help.”

“Oh, right…” Lin Xiao nodded his head.

“So what are you worried about? Go to sleep.”

“Okay, thanks.”

“Hehe, no problem.”

“Sister Ying, um…”

“What?”

“N-nothing… never mind.”

As he was leaving, Lin Xiao scratched his head and wanted to say something as he glanced at Shen DaiYing, but couldn’t in the end.

The moon had already fallen, the darkness engulfed the entire forest, it was the darkest period before daybreak.

Lin Xiao’s slowly got further and further away, she didn’t know whether it was just her, but it felt like Lin Xiao was purposely dragging it on and wanted to turn and say something to her, but restrained his own impulsiveness and continued walking ahead.

“Lin Xiao!” In the end, she couldn’t restrain herself and called out.

“Eh? What is it, Sister Ying?”

Like grasping at straws, Lin Xiao eagerly turned.

“Hehe, um…”

It was on the top of her tongue, but she didn’t know what to say.

The two were a distance away, the night obstructed their view. Shen DaiYing could only barely see Lin Xiao’s figure, and he probably could only make out her appearance.

Even so, she still had a brilliant smile.

“The way you call me, I like it very much.” She whispered.

“Eh? Sister Ying, what did you say?”

“Sister Ying… I like that.” She repeated.

“Ah, that’s good. I was worried that you would find it annoying.”

“No way, I have been really happy recently.”

“Really? Then Sister Ying, um… I…”

“Okay, hurry up and sleep.”

Shen DaiYing interrupted him.

Even if she didn’t hear what he had to so, she already knew what he planned to say, so she didn’t want to hear it.

She couldn’t respond to his feelings and all it gave was even more burdens.

“Okay… good night.”

Lin Xiao wasn’t discouraged, he laughed scratching his head and said goodbye.

“Good night.”

She smiled and waved at him, her smile gradually disappearing.

All that was left was her empty eyes and lifeless appearance.

“Goodbye…”

The next day morning.

That night, everyone was in a deep sleep.

Usually, Caesar would always wake up on time every day, but because of the late fight last night, he was tired and also slept in.

The sun rose higher and higher, the slightly cold forest also gradually warmed up.

“Mhmm… Caesar… stop, don’t touch that, it’s dirty… eh? Do you like it? if you like it, then do whatever you like… wu, but you have to take responsibility, if you have a change of heart, I’ll never forgive you… hehe, hehe… what? Ah!!”

The cute pink-haired lady was immersed in her blissful sexual dreams, as it began unfolding in a strange direction, a ray of light suddenly pierced her eyes and startles her awake.

“Eh? What? What is it?”

She sat up in a jolt, and glanced left and right but didn’t see anything but the blinding light.

“Mmm… it’s so bright.”

She squinted her eyes and used her hand to block the light and finally realized the problem.

“Eh? Is it already this late?”

She noticed that it was already morning and they couldn’t sleep anymore, so she hurriedly woke Caesar up.

“Caesar, wake up! Really, Shen DaiYing was the one on guard last night, right? Why didn’t she wake us up?”

Rosie muttered while tidying her clothes and getting ready to set off, for their fifth day of the competition.

“Hey, Elena, wake up! Strange, why is Lin Xiao not here, where did they go?”

“Huh?”

Elena rubbed her eyes as she woke, and looked around her blankly, but she was surprised to find that Lin Xiao, who should’ve been sleeping next to her, was gone.

Not just that, the last person standing guard, and who was responsible for waking everyone up, Shen DaiYing, was also gone!

Was she patrolling nearby?

The still drowsy Elena tried expanding her perception skill and wanted to see where those two went off to rendezvous, but her complexion abruptly changed.

“Nothing?”

Lin Xiao was gone.

And so was Shen DaiYing.
