Quick Transmigration: The Villain Is Too Pampered and Alluring - Chapter 191

While Sheng Nuan and the others were roasting the pheasant in the cave, on the mountain road nearby, a large group of people was digging out the sand and stones blocking the way.

There were villagers, but most of them were soldiers in uniform.

When Sheng Qingyang and Xue Suwan returned home in the rain, they found the house empty. Then, they saw a note from Sheng Nuan on the table, saying she had gone into the mountains to find Sheng Fei.

Sheng Nuan mentioned that if there was danger, they wouldn’t come down from the mountain and would hide there, telling their parents not to worry.

Afterward, they heard about the landslide…

The two of them were so shocked their legs went weak, but seeing Sheng Nuan’s note gave them some hope. That’s when they ran into Pei Shuo, who had just returned.

Hearing from Sheng Qingyang and Xue Suwan that the Sheng brother and sister might be trapped in the mountains, Pei Shuo didn’t waste a word. He immediately went to the training grounds, gathered a squad of soldiers with various tools, and headed straight for the mountain road.

Some villagers, hearing the news, also joined the rescue efforts. Of course, there were others who, worried about the danger, didn’t dare to get too close and watched from a distance.

After the heavy rain had stopped for some time, and once it was confirmed that it was safe, more people joined in to help clear the sand and stones from the road…

Pei Shuo’s expression was grim.

He remained silent, digging alongside the others, his face tense… In that moment, a wave of panic welled up in his heart.

He couldn’t remember how many years it had been since he felt such an emotion.

He feared that as they dug, they might suddenly find someone buried beneath the gravel and soil… Just the thought of that scene sent a chill through Pei Shuo’s entire body.

In the cave, the sweet smell of roasted pheasant spread. Xie Ze and Sheng Fei, who had been reluctant just moments ago, were now holding a large piece of pheasant together, chewing until their mouths were dripping with oil.

This pheasant was truly fatty, sizzling with oil as it roasted, and slathered in honey, making it incredibly fragrant…

Soon, the whole pheasant was picked clean. Sheng Fei wiped his mouth and looked at Sheng Nuan, “Sister, why don’t you go out and try again…pick up another pheasant, and this time, can it be a hen?”

Sheng Nuan laughed in anger, “Get lost.”

After a moment, she dusted herself off and stood up. “Let’s go, let’s check how the mountain road is. In case someone comes looking for us.”

Only then did Sheng Fei wipe his mouth, carefully extinguishing the embers in the cave with sand and soil, burying them. He then covered it with some wet mud, clapped his hands, and left.

The three of them trudged along, stumbling as they walked. Before they even made it out of the mountains, they heard voices in the distance, with someone calling out to them.

Sheng Fei rushed out, “Dad, Mom… my sister and I are over here…”

The three of them rushed out from the mountainside, and below, they saw a large crowd digging away at the rocks blocking the road.

Seeing Sheng Fei, Sheng Nuan, and Xie Ze, everyone below breathed a sigh of relief.

“Thank goodness they’re safe.”

“Yes, as long as they’re okay, everyone can rest assured…”

Xue Suwan, hands on her hips, scolded Sheng Fei, “You little brat, has your brain flooded? Didn’t you know to hurry home when it started raining, huh? Do you think you’ve lived for too long?”

Xue Suwan, who had just been pale-faced with fear, suddenly unleashed her super fighting power, “Wait till we get home, I’ll settle accounts with you… Sheng Nuan, you too!”

Sheng Nuan: ……

She sullenly shifted her gaze away, and then met Pei Shuo’s eyes.

Sheng Nuan was stunned…

Even standing among the crowd, Pei Shuo stood out, his gaze quietly locked onto Sheng Nuan, expressionless but with a depth in his eyes that was hard to decipher.

Someone down below called out, signaling for them to descend.

After all, the road wouldn’t be cleared anytime soon, and as long as everyone was safe, there was no need to rush.

Xie Ze cautiously moved to the edge, where a few soldiers were waiting to assist below.

Xie Ze carefully slid down and then threw himself forward. He was caught securely by the soldiers, landing safely.

Sheng Fei shouted, “Step aside, don’t bother with me.”

Before he finished speaking, he got a running start and jumped out… elbowing Sheng Nuan along with him.

“Sheng Fei, you bastard…” Sheng Nuan hadn’t even finished cursing before she was picked up securely in someone’s arms.

She blinked and found herself looking up into Pei Shuo’s deep gaze.

She could clearly feel the hand on her waist tightening slightly, as if he wanted to hold her closer, but in the next instant, it loosened.

Pei Shuo placed her gently on the ground, his expression as calm as ever, “Are you okay?”

Sheng Nuan snapped out of her daze, “Oh, I’m fine… thank you, Company Commander Pei.”

Xue Suwan rushed over, ready to pull her ear, “You stinky girl, you knew there was danger, and you still went? Are you trying to turn the world upside down? You…”

Sheng Nuan quickly covered her ears and ducked her head, only to be shielded behind Pei Shuo.

“They’ve all been through a scare, let’s talk about it after we get back,” Pei Shuo gently advised.

Sheng Nuan nodded eagerly, “It was really dangerous earlier. We almost got buried…”

Xue Suwan’s face turned pale again, “Where are you hurt? Let me take a look and see if you’re injured.”

Sheng Nuan pouted pitifully, “I sprained my ankle, it really hurts…”

“What should we do? Come here, let your dad carry you.”

Sheng Nuan quickly forced a smile, “Hehe, it’s much better now, much better.”

After that, the Sheng family repeatedly thanked the villagers and soldiers… After a while, they finally returned home.

Xie Ze, walking among the crowd, cast a few discreet glances at Pei Shuo, deep in thought.

Just now, he was sure he hadn’t misseen it… the famously cold and strict Company Commander Pei had definitely looked a little odd when he caught Sheng Nuan…

Tsk!

When the Sheng family returned home, Xue Suwan quickly boiled water to make ginger soup. Sheng Nuan and Sheng Fei washed up with hot water and changed their clothes, and when they came out, they saw the ginger soup on the table.

Xue Suwan said, “Take some ginger soup to Company Commander Pei and the soldiers. They worked so hard today…”

Sheng Fei quickly grabbed the tray, “I’ll bring some to Xiao Zhu and the others. Let my sister bring it to Company Commander Pei.”

Sheng Fei had always been a bit afraid of Pei Shuo, thinking he was tall, imposing, and cold, like the type who could kill him with one punch—truly terrifying.

Sheng Nuan responded and picked up her bowl, gulping down a few sips. Then, she carried the ginger soup meant for Pei Shuo and walked out to the yard.

When she knocked and entered, Pei Shuo was smoking.

Seeing her, Pei Shuo paused for a moment, then put out his cigarette in the ashtray.

Sheng Nuan smiled as she carried the bowl over, “Company Commander Pei, have some ginger soup. Thank you so much for today. I’m sorry for disrupting your training…”

Pei Shuo glanced at her, silently took the bowl, and placed it beside him.

Sheng Nuan urged, “Hurry up and drink it, drink it while it’s hot!”

Pei Shuo paused for a moment, then picked up the bowl and drank it in large gulps… Gulp, gulp, his Adam’s apple bobbing up and down, exuding a strong sense of hormones.

Suddenly, Sheng Nuan found herself thinking that maybe this cold-faced tough guy wasn’t so bad after all; he had a strange charm.

After Pei Shuo finished drinking, he stood up to go wash the dishes in the yard, but Sheng Nuan quickly stopped him and pushed him back, saying, “No need, no need! There are more dishes. I’ll take them back and wash them together.”

With that, she reached for the bowl in Pei Shuo’s hand and turned to leave… but just as she took a step, her arm was grabbed.

Sheng Nuan paused, turning back to look suspiciously at Pei Shuo, who was holding her arm.

Pei Shuo’s gaze was deep and intense. After a moment, he spoke in a low voice, “I’ll move out as soon as possible.”
