How could Shen Li know that the general preferred simplicity? At this moment, in her angry state, no matter how she looked at the general, he seemed to have something wrong with him.
His long eyelashes cast a shadow on his eyelids, as gorgeous as the wings of a butterfly. Just one glance made Shen Li feel breathless and she quickly averted her gaze. Even with her wide - ranging experiences, she rarely saw such a handsome man.
Thinking that this good - looking and well - born man was exactly the type her knight - errant father liked, and that it was very likely that her father would marry her off for some kind of interest, she trembled with anger. Unable to control herself, she did something impulsive.
She roughly lifted the general's quilt and, in one go, stripped him naked.
Anger had flushed her eyes red. She kept muttering to herself, "You want to marry me? I'll teach you a lesson. I'm going to ruin this engagement. Let's see if you still dare to marry me in the future!"
The more she thought about it, the more she believed that if she insulted the general this time, he would definitely not want to be with her anymore. Thinking that her goal could be achieved, the corners of Shen Li's mouth couldn't help but turn up.
She took out the marker she had prepared in advance. With one hand pressing on the general's firm abs and the other hand, she started writing. To her surprise, the abs felt really good, making her reluctant to stop.
While writing, Shen Li read out the words she had written to vent her anger, "Want to marry me? Dream on!"
She looked at her "masterpiece" with satisfaction, then stopped and was about to turn around and leave, just waiting for the news from her knight - errant father the next day that the engagement was off.
Unexpectedly, a strong hand suddenly grabbed hers tightly. She was so scared that she almost screamed and quickly covered her mouth.
She took several deep breaths, forcing herself to calm down. She mustn't have an overly intense reaction and let others find out.
She looked at the man on the bed and found that he was also staring at her intently.
His eyes were like the vast starry sky. Shen Li had never thought that someone's eyes could shine. Maybe in her heart, only his eyes did.
The general let out a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he had amazing self - control and was able to delay the effect of the sleeping drug.
He frowned and sized up the beautiful but strange woman in front of him.
If he remembered correctly just now, that woman seemed to be touching him? No, she was writing something?
In a cold and deep voice, he asked, "What are you doing?"
There was no trace of anger in his voice, as if he was just asking about a simple thing. But Shen Li's heart was in her throat. She quickly sprinkled another dose of sleeping drug on the general.
She said nervously, "You want to marry me? Dream on by yourself!"
Then she turned around and climbed out of the window. She didn't even dare to run out of the door. But before she could run far, the general grabbed her and pulled her into his arms.
"It's already the third lifetime, and you're still trying to escape?"
Just when Shen Li said "Want to marry me? Dream on", Xuan Yuan Jue suddenly remembered everything that had happened before, including the fact that they were in a dream.
Shen Li's consciousness was a bit fuzzy, but if someone pointed out that it was a dream, she would wake up. Her eyes immediately turned cold. "You gave me this drug just to experience life in a dream?"
Unexpectedly, Xuan Yuan Jue neither dodged nor flinched. He still held Shen Li tightly in his arms. "Yes, to experience life with me in the dream..."
Shen Li suddenly pushed him, but found that she couldn't break free from Xuan Yuan Jue's embrace. So she could only glare at him angrily. "What are you doing, Xuan Yuan Jue? Even if this is a dream, there are still rules about propriety between men and women."
As she said this, a blush unconsciously crept up Shen Li's face, because the scenes from the past were still vivid in her mind, including the fact that in the previous two lifetimes, she had married Xuan Yuan Jue in the end.
Xuan Yuan Jue sighed. He knew that he couldn't rush things. So he still explained, "This is a strange drug I got by chance. I just wanted to give it a try. Everything here... happened in the dream. You don't have to take it too seriously..."
Although he said so, there was a dull pain in Xuan Yuan Jue's heart. Then he gently let go of Shen Li. Soon, this beautiful dream dissipated as the two of them woke up.
After Shen Li woke up, she quickly got up and checked if there was anything wrong with her body. Finding nothing, she let out a sigh of relief. If Xuan Yuan Jue really wanted to do something to her, she was afraid that her chances of winning would be very low.
Xuan Yuan Jue got up and stood by the window again. "Don't worry, little one. I will never harm you. Moreover, I promised before and I will never go back on my word."
Suddenly, Shen Li opened her door, looking like she was seeing a guest off. "Since you have nothing else to do, Mr. Xuan Yuan, you can leave now." Xuan Yuan Jue's actions today really made her angry. Anyone would be angry if they were given some strange pills for no reason.
Xuan Yuan Jue swaggered out of the door without even looking back. Looking at his handsome back, Shen Li felt a bit lonely at this moment.
She sat alone on the bed, constantly thinking about those lifetimes in the dream. Finally, unable to resist the drowsiness, she fell asleep.
When she got up the next day, sure enough, she had dark circles under her eyes. Jiao Yue couldn't help but exclaimed, "Miss, what's wrong with you? You look so pale. Are you sick?"
Jiao Yue was about to feel Shen Li's pulse. Shen Li calmly washed up and said, "Don't make a fuss. Maybe the weather was not good yesterday, so I didn't sleep well."
Jiao Yue looked out of the window. The sky was clear after the rain. The green leaves and grass were growing vigorously, looking fresh and lush. She scratched her head. "It shouldn't have rained last night. You should have slept better. Why...?"
Shen Li was stunned. She didn't expect Jiao Yue to take her casually - made - up excuse so seriously. She could only explain, "Maybe because it had been raining for the past few days and I got used to the rainy weather. Then suddenly it didn't rain, so I felt a bit uncomfortable."
Jiao Yue suddenly started to think seriously. She raised her head, her face full of confusion. "Miss, do we need to create the sound of rain at night? Otherwise, you won't be able to sleep well..."
Jiao Yue always came up with some strange ideas seriously, which really made Shen Li find it both funny and not. She could only shake her head helplessly. "No need."
At this time, an old woman who served the old lady came in to pass on a message. Her face was full of joy, and the wrinkles on her face were almost piled up.
"Miss cousin, the weather is finally good today. The heavy rain for so many days is finally over. The old lady is calling you to her yard to discuss something. It's probably about the disaster - relief matter you discussed before."
Jiao Yue was originally going to comb a very complicated hairstyle for Shen Li. Shen Li thought that since the natural disaster had just passed, it was not appropriate to be too ostentatious. So she waved her hand. "No need. This is fine. Business is more important. Let's go to grandmother's place first."
