Chapter 771 - He Wanted To Atone For His Sins
Chapter 771: He Wanted To Atone For His Sins
Su Wan could only rejoice that there was no one else on the road. Otherwise, if anyone saw her being carried by Jiang Xuecheng and running, that scene would be too…
Just thinking about it made her feel so ashamed!
The skin that was being carried by Jiang Xuecheng seemed to be suffused with a layer of heat, burning Su Wan’s entire body.
Why did this fellow not know how to write the word ’embarrassed’?!
If he were to be seen by the guards and maids of the God’s Palace, where would his dignity as the emperor of the God’s Palace be placed!
Su Wan fiercely glared at Jiang Xuecheng, like a small beast baring its teeth. It looked arrogant, but it did not have the slightest bit of deterrence.
“Put me down! Don’t you feel tired carrying a living person and running away?”
Hearing Su Wan’s words, the smile on Jiang Xuecheng’s lips deepened.
He put his arm around Su Wan’s shoulder and suddenly lowered his head. His thin lips leaned against Su Wan’s ear.
“I won’t let go!”
It was only a few words, but it was like a feather brushing past the tip of Su Wan’s ear. It burned Su Wan’s face even redder, and the tip of her ear was dyed with a faint layer of crimson!
Jiang Xuecheng’s magnetic voice was lowered, but he spoke in such a childish manner. He did not have his usual dignified and cold appearance!
Su Wan rolled her eyes at Jiang Xuecheng, but Jiang Xuecheng obviously did not care. Instead, his smile was even more brilliant, like a spring breeze blowing across his face. It was so warm.
Why did it feel like Jiang Xuecheng’s entire personality today was not right?!
Su Wan cursed in her heart. She almost suspected that Jiang Xuecheng had done some sort of personality fusion, so much so that he had become a six-year-old with an IQ of only six!
However…
Su Wan raised her head slightly and looked up at the handsome face in front of her.
This Jiang Xuecheng was unexpectedly pleasing to the eye.
Although Su Wan said that she despised him, for some reason, a hint of sweetness spread in her heart.
It would be a great lifetime, if they could play with each other like this every day.
…
Although Jiang Xuecheng was holding Su Wan in his arms, his steps were still as fast as lightning.
Su Wan suddenly realized that Jiang Xuecheng seemed to have changed directions. He was still walking along the river, but he was indeed going against the current!
After circling around for a long time, Su Wan thought that Jiang Xuecheng would be too tired to carry her. In the end, this guy did not even blush or pant, as if nothing had happened!
Su Wan really had to hand it to him!
No wonder she was always physically exhausted when they performed their duties as husband and wife in the past. However, this guy was extremely energetic and insisted on torturing her until she lost half her life.
This thought suddenly popped up in Su Wan’s mind. When Su Wan realized what she was thinking, her entire face suddenly blushed.
What was she thinking?!
Su Wan’s cheeks turned a thin shade of red. She subconsciously shook her head, trying to get rid of those hot thoughts.
However, she forgot about her situation for a moment. With this shake of her head, she naturally knocked on Jiang Xuecheng’s chin.
Jiang Xuecheng was fine. Su Wan cried out in pain.
“Wan Wan, what are you thinking about? Why is your face so red? Could it be…”
Jiang Xuecheng paused for a moment, his deep voice carrying an unconcealed smile.
Jiang Xuecheng had not finished speaking, but his words were full of hidden meaning. Su Wan was already feeling guilty, and after hearing Jiang Xuecheng’s words, she felt even more ashamed.
She feigned anger and glared at Jiang Xuecheng.
“It can’t be anything! Quickly put me down! Do you see anyone in front?!”
Su Wan looked at the gardeners who looked like they were trimming flowers and plants not far away. She was so anxious that she wanted to cry.
However, she was the only one who was anxious. The man who was holding her was not ready to let go!
“What are you afraid of? They won’t dare to look at us.”
Jiang Xuecheng said this indifferently. His expression was undisciplined.
As if confirming his words, the gardeners who were trimming flowers and plants only glanced at the two of them from afar. They suddenly lowered their heads, obviously not daring to look at them.
Su Wan was speechless in her heart. Even so, she still felt uncomfortable in her heart and wished she could find a hole to hide in.
What kind of situation was this?!
Unfortunately, it was not up to her to decide. After Su Wan cursed a few times in her heart, she suddenly realized that Jiang Xuecheng had suddenly sped up and brought her to a low-lying place.
…
The two of them came to a stone step. It was probably slippery and difficult to walk on. Jiang Xuecheng was afraid that something might happen, so he finally let Su Wan down from his arms and did not hug her anymore.
“Where are you taking me?”
Su Wan frowned and felt a faint rumbling sound coming from all around her.
Not far away, there seemed to be an intense splashing of water, which was making a thunderous sound.
Jiang Xuecheng glanced sideways at Su Wan with a smile in his eyes. He used the hand that was close to Su Wan to stroke the bridge of Su Wan’s nose. His eyes were full of affection.
“I’ll take you to a good place! I want to atone for my sins.”
As he spoke, Jiang Xuecheng used his hand to support Su Wan steadily. He was afraid that there would be too much moss here and Su Wan would slip and fall.
Atone for his sins?!
Su Wan was surprised. Her beautiful brows furrowed. She was about to ask a few more questions, but she saw Jiang Xuecheng make a silent gesture.
Seeing how mysterious Jiang Xuecheng was, Su Wan decided to shut her mouth as well. She followed Jiang Xuecheng down seriously.
“Be careful. The stone steps here are a little slippery. Walk as slowly as you can. I’ll support you.”
Hearing the concerned words of Jiang Xuecheng, Su Wan felt a warmth in her heart, and she softly responded with an ‘mm.’
…
After ten minutes, Su Wan finally arrived at the place that Jiang Xuecheng wanted to bring her to.
She was shocked.
In front of her was a waterfall that flowed down for three thousand feet. It continued to flow down along the steep stone wall, surging and roaring, splashing water in front of her eyes.
Finally, it flowed down to a small pond at the bottom of the stone wall.
The pond water was deep and ethereal. At the end where it intersected with the waterfall, drops of water splashed out under the sunlight.
“It’s so beautiful…”
Su Wan stared at the waterfall and couldn’t help but exclaim in her heart.
The scale of this waterfall might not be that big, but this scene still made Su Wan feel an indescribable shock.
Jiang Xuecheng smiled but did not say anything. He smiled and held Su Wan’s hand as they walked toward the small pond.
“Are you here to show me the scenery?”
Su Wan raised her eyebrows in surprise. She looked at the small fish that could occasionally be seen inside and suddenly had another thought.
“Could it be that you’re bringing me here for a picnic? Are we roasting fish?”
Su Wan recalled the fish that Ming Ye had roasted not long ago. It was really fragrant and crispy. Su Wan felt that the skill of Jiang Xuecheng’s roasted fish was definitely not inferior to his. She could not help but feel a little greedy.
When Jiang Xuecheng heard Su Wan’s words, he could not help but feel a little speechless.
Could it be that the only thing in Su Wan’s Little Head was food?!
He gave Su Wan a speechless look.
“I already said that I’m here to atone for my sins. Do you think we are here to roast fish?”
Before he could finish his sentence, Jiang Xuecheng suddenly plunged into the pool!
