Traveling through the busy farmland of a peasant girl

Chapter 394: Love Competition

On the other hand, thanks to the spiritual spring water fed by Shen Shaodong, Luo Lingchen's body has recovered to a large extent.

He sat alone in the house for a long time, gradually calming down and thinking carefully about the ins and outs of the matter. He felt more and more that his previous behavior was really unreasonable. Now he ended up in this situation. It was purely his own fault and he deserved the retribution.

Thinking of this, he got up, changed into clean and refreshing clothes, and carefully took care of his appearance in front of the bronze mirror.

The face reflected in the bronze mirror, except for the slightly haggard complexion, was still extraordinarily handsome, with sword-like eyebrows, bright eyes, a straight nose and thin lips, but there was a hint of regret and loneliness between his eyebrows and eyes.

Suddenly, his eyes turned, he picked up the powder box, and gently touched his lips. But in a moment, a pitiful, weak and pale look emerged.

That's right, he was planning to play the victim in order to gain Shen Li's sympathy and forgiveness.

He knew very well that Shen Li was kind-hearted and soft-hearted. His pitiful appearance would surely touch the soft spot in her heart and make her forgive him naturally.

Everything was settled. Luo Lingchen steadily pushed open the door. The guard on duty at the door saw him and hurriedly bowed. With a delighted smile on his face, he asked, "Master Luo, have you recovered? This is great. Would you like me to report this to the Master and the County Lady immediately?"

Luo Lingchen waved his hand casually, with a smile on his lips, and replied: "No need, I want to give Li'er a surprise." After that, he strode towards Shen Li's room not far away in a good mood.

Not long after, he quietly came to Shen Li's room. He looked up and found that Chu Qiu was not outside the house. His eyes turned and an idea came to his mind - he planned to scare Shen Li to ease his inner tension and anxiety.

So, he tiptoed to the door, lightly walking on foot. Just as he was about to push it open, he heard a man crying in the room: "Ali, don't push me away, just let me hold you for a moment, just for a moment..."

Luo Lingchen felt his head suddenly explode with a buzzing sound, and thought to himself: This Nangong Qi is really taking advantage of the situation, taking advantage of my injury to come and poach me! However, he gritted his teeth and warned himself not to act impulsively again, otherwise he would only push Shen Li further away.

Suppressing the anger and bitterness in his heart, he took a deep breath, raised his hand and knocked gently on the door, pretending to be calm and asked: "Li'er, are you in there? I'm here to apologize to you."

Shen Li was slightly startled when she heard Luo Lingchen's voice in the room. She then gently pushed Nangong Qi away and said softly, "Go back to your room and have a good rest. I have something to say to Master Luo."

Nangong Qi raised his head reluctantly, his eyes red, and said to Shen Li with a bit of grievance and unwillingness: "As soon as he came, you drove me away! You said before that you wouldn't drive me away, what's going on?"

Shen Li felt a headache. Faced with this tricky situation, she was really at a loss. Helplessly, she could only whisper and comfort him: "Okay, okay, then you stay here and don't cause any trouble."

Nangong Qi's plan succeeded. The corners of his mouth rose slightly, barely perceptible. He nodded calmly, then sat back in his chair leisurely, looking like he was enjoying the show.

Shen Li gathered her thoughts and went forward to open the door. She immediately saw Luo Lingchen's pale lips. Her heart tightened. She stepped aside to let him in and asked with concern, "You haven't recovered yet. Why don't you rest more?"

Luo Lingchen secretly complained in his heart: If I don't come soon, my woman will be kidnapped! But he put on a pitiful look, reached out and held Shen Li's hand tightly, and said earnestly: "Li'er, I made you cry. Now I regret it so much that my intestines are turning green. I wish I could kill myself!"

As he spoke, he grabbed Shen Li's hand, gently stroked his chest, and continued to cry: "I have already hit myself for you! At that time, I slapped my palm here hard, thinking in my heart that if I die, it will be fate. If I don't die, it means that God has forgiven me for you!"

Nangong Qi sat there blankly, watching Luo Lingchen's "chatter", secretly smacking his lips in amazement: I really didn't expect that there would be such a shameless man in this world!

After Shen Li heard Luo Lingchen's words, she suddenly realized why he vomited blood, and she felt both distressed and helpless.

She frowned slightly and said worriedly, "No matter what happens in the future, never do anything stupid that would harm yourself. Do you know how worried I am? These past few days, I've been trying to find an opportunity to discuss some serious matters with you, but then he was assassinated. I finally waited for him to recover, and now you've created this situation..."

As she spoke, Shen Li felt a surge of grievances in her heart like a tide, her eyes instantly turned red, and she couldn't help but slowly lower her head and sob softly.

The crystal tears rolled down her cheeks, drop by drop, soaking her clothes. "If you feel that being with me has wronged you, then..."

Seeing this, Luo Lingchen's expression suddenly changed. He was extremely anxious. Before she could finish her words, he quickly reached out and covered her mouth with his hand. His tone was urgent and panicked, almost begging, "Please, please don't say such things again. Every word you say is like a sharp knife, piercing straight into my heart. It feels like there's a hole in my heart. It hurts so much!"

Nangong Qi, who was standing aside, watched the two of them being affectionate with each other, feeling a surge of bitterness in his heart. He couldn't help but cough lightly, slowly stood up, and said to Shen Li with forced composure, "Ali, have a good rest. I'll come back to see you."

Shen Li was shocked to realize that Nangong Qi was still in the room. She immediately blushed with embarrassment and wished she could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.

Her face flushed slightly, and her voice was so soft that it sounded like the hum of a mosquito: "Okay! You go first."

Nangong Qi took a deep breath, stood up and strode out of the room. Standing at the door, he looked up at the sky, clenched his fists tightly, turned around and went back to his room with an unwilling look on his face. His back seemed to carry a bit of loneliness and determination.
