"what happened?"

Xia Lingge was puzzled. She was obviously in terrible pain, so why was he still crying?

"Sister..."

Si Cheng's eyes turned red as he looked at Xia Lingge's almost masochistic treatment and her nonchalant demeanor. His heart felt sour. He took off her hand that was pressing the wound. The sunken blood hole had already been covered with a layer of white powder. But the depth is not even at all.

He picked up the cotton swab in the medicine box and dispersed the powder a little at a time.This time, his fingertips were steady and his eyes were focused. Xia Lingge felt a dense pain coming from the wound. It was very subtle, but it finally seemed like he was applying medicine normally.

After applying the white medicine evenly, Si Cheng took out the bandage from the medicine box. Xia Lingge cooperated with him and leaned forward slightly. He circled around her shoulders and finally tied a bow on her back that was strong but would not strangle the wound. , the puffy sleeves of the dress were pulled upwards, covering the wound so that nothing could be seen.

"It's okay, senior sister..."

Sicheng's voice was still hoarse.

Xia Lingge said softly, and at the same time there was a knock on the door.

Sicheng walked over and opened the door, and the young housekeeper stood outside the door: "Dear little Duke. I'm here to tell you and Miss Lingge that at eight o'clock tonight, Wang Jue's banquet will begin. Please be sure that you and Miss Lingge Punctual."

"We understand." Sicheng said.

"Butler." Xia Lingge continued, "Where is father now? I want to visit father before the banquet begins."

Si Cheng opened his mouth and was about to say something, but seeing her calm and indifferent expression, he swallowed back the words.

The butler said: "The prince has ordered that no guests will be seen before the banquet begins."

Xia Lingge asked: "Not even his daughter?"

The housekeeper shook his head: "Sorry, miss."

Xia Lingge looked back: "Where are eldest sister and the others? Is father missing too?"

The housekeeper said: "The eldest lady and Master Luo wanted to visit Wang Jue, but were refused. But Miss Weiwei and the young master have been resting in the house and did nothing."

"okay, I get it."

"You can give me any instructions at any time."

The butler leaves.Si Cheng returned to Xia Lingge and covered her with a quilt: "Senior sister, you are still injured, you need to recover first."

"But this is an opportunity."

Xia Lingge watched Sicheng hurriedly packing his things and said: "The main plot is to obtain property, so that property must be in Wang Jue's hands now. The sooner you get it, the better. If you keep taking off your clothes, you won't mention the players. , the game itself won’t let us have too much fun.”

"But your body is also important."

Sicheng packed up the medicine box and laid Xia Lingge on the bed: "This is not your solo game now, it's ours together. You can relax and recuperate. Trust me, I will take you back to reality."

His expression was very determined, as determined as the bright stars.Xia Lingge blinked but could not say any words of rejection. She had seen the protagonist's definition of companions more than once in those adventure novels - people who value love and justice, and are worthy of trusting their backs, but she I never feel that there is any point in giving up my back. Heads are killed, tails are killed, as long as it takes a little longer.

But now she feels that maybe the meaning of having companions is to feel less lonely when you are vulnerable.

Ok……

Really gross.

I don't know whether it was the wear and tear of the wound or the comfort of someone beside him, but Xia Lingge felt a little tired. He lay down on the bed and looked at the hanging curtains. He blinked and fell asleep unknowingly...

"Sister..."

"Sister...?"

A soft shout sounded out from nowhere.Xia Lingge slowly opened her eyes and glanced confusedly at Si Cheng who called her.The sunlight outside the window had long since disappeared, leaving only a few candles illuminating the dark room.The hands of the clock on the wall were tilted toward twelve, and it was already eight o'clock in the evening in less than two or three minutes.

"Let's go."

Xia Lingge took a shallow breath to blow away the sleepiness in her head, and was carefully helped up by Si Cheng. She arranged her elegant and fluffy evening dress and walked out of the bedroom with Si Cheng.

The hall is already very lively.

Countless candles decorated every corner, flowers were tightly clustered, silks and satins were flying, and the waltz music played was melodious and graceful, allowing those in gorgeous dresses to dance and mingle with each other.

Xia Lingge and Sicheng walked down the stairs. Liu Shiyi, Luo Yan, Bai Weiwei and Shen Yu were also standing there. When they saw them walking down, they just glanced at them. Only Shen Yu leaned his head and asked Xia Lingge: "How are your injuries?" Yet?"

Xia Lingge glanced at him: "I won't die for the time being."

Shen Yu tutted softly: "That's such a pity."

Sicheng pushed him away.

Xia Lingge looked at the crowd of people dancing tirelessly on the dance floor and asked softly: "What's going on now?"

"I don't know either." Shen Yu replied, "Anyway, I started dancing when I came down. I'm tired of watching just this one piece of music."

"It's also possible that the game hasn't officially started yet." Luo Yan suddenly stretched out his hand to Liu Shiyi beside him, "I don't know if I have the honor to ask the beautiful young lady to dance."

Liu Shiyi blushed: "I'm very happy."

They held each other's hands and moved to the dance floor. The bright red evening gown and the dark black tuxedo were really a pair of handsome men and women who matched each other well.

Bai Weiwei, who was standing next to her, suddenly said: "I'm a little hungry, so I won't accompany you for now."

The light pink figure of the snow-white pearl turned to the dessert area.

Chen Yu turned his head to Xia Lingge again: "Have you noticed that there is a certain smell lingering among these three people."

Xia Lingge looked at him: "What does it smell like?"

Shen Yu said meaningfully: "Treachery. The taste of love."

As soon as Shen Yu finished speaking, Si Cheng pushed him aside: "Don't lead her astray."

"It's not like a three-year-old baby. It can cause harm or not." Shen Yu leaned against the wall lazily, "And who are you to her, and what qualifications do you have to answer her questions for her."

Si Cheng was a little speechless, Xia Lingge blinked and said, "He is a companion and can make decisions for me."

"Oh~ It's a companion."

Shen Yu repeated it meaningfully, approaching Sicheng and poking his shoulder with his fingertips: "It seems you still have a long way to go, companion~"

What do you mean?
Xia Lingge didn't understand, but found that Sicheng's ears were a little red.

"Dear distinguished guests."

On the second floor, the housekeeper helped a beautiful lady walk out. Her hair was tied up high and she wore a golden gemstone pendant. She behaved elegantly and dignifiedly. Her face showed no wrinkles of time but revealed a certain mature beauty. Gorgeous.

"Who is this?"

Xia Lingge was confused.

"This is the mistress of the castle, you can also say she is our mother." Luo Yan walked back with Liu Shiyi and answered Xia Lingge's question.

Mother……?
