Quick Transmigration: The Villain Is Too Pampered and Alluring - Chapter 199

The next day was Sunday, and the Gastrodia elata in the fields hadn’t been fully planted yet. While the rest of the family was busy in the fields, Sheng Nuan was taken to school by Pei Shuo.

There were always people around when they were at home, so the two of them had no chance to get close. That’s why the forest path on the way to school became their rare, precious time to relax and be intimate.

Pei Shuo kissed her for a long time before finally letting go, his breath slightly unsteady. He glanced at the girl whose eyes were now glistening from his kiss and couldn’t help but steal another quick kiss before restarting the jeep and heading toward school.

By Tuesday, Sheng Nuan had learned from customer service that all the Gastrodia elata at home had been planted.

Then, it was just a matter of keeping an eye on things and waiting for the harvest… though the harvest was still a long way off.

When the Sheng family started planting the Gastrodia elata, many people in the village came to ask about it. Sheng Qingyang was an honest man, so when asked, he didn’t hide anything and simply said they were planting Gastrodia elata. He even mentioned that they still had some leftover seeds if anyone wanted to try planting them.

The villagers all scoffed at him, thinking Sheng Qingyang had ulterior motives and just wanted to sell his seeds.

After all, no one had heard of anyone planting Gastrodia elata on such a large scale before…

Only one family, curious to give it a try, planted a few. Sheng Qingyang sold them the seeds at the price Ma Zirong had mentioned earlier and carefully followed Ma Zirong’s instructions, teaching them how to plant properly.

Everything went smoothly.

When it came to caring about the Gastrodia elata field, Sheng Fei was the most invested.

Every weekend when Sheng Nuan came home, if Sheng Fei wasn’t around, it was a given that he had gone into the mountains.

By the fourth week after the Gastrodia elata had been planted, Sheng Nuan woke up early on Saturday morning to find the house empty… She made breakfast, then grabbed her basket and headed into the mountains, planning to catch some wild game for a treat and check on the Gastrodia elata’s growth while she was at it.

Not long after entering the mountains, she spotted Sheng Fei wandering around like a headless fly. She was a little curious. “What’s wrong?”

Sheng Fei hurried over with an anxious expression. “That pretty boy is gone.”

That’s when Sheng Nuan found out that Sheng Fei had run into Xie Ze in the mountains and the two had gone in together.

Not long after, Xie Ze said he wanted to eat roasted pheasant. Sheng Fei cursed at him, telling him to find one himself, so Xie Ze went off to search, but he hadn’t returned for most of the day.

Sheng Fei was a bit frantic. “It’s not winter yet, so wolves probably wouldn’t come this far out, right… Do you think he got eaten by a wolf?”

“If he gets eaten by a wolf, what do we do? I’m the one who told him to go find the pheasant himself. I didn’t think he’d be this useless…”

Sheng Fei was completely at a loss, but Sheng Nuan had already learned from customer service that Xie Ze was fine. He had just fallen into a collapsed pit.

She rolled her eyes at Sheng Fei. “Well, serves you right for hanging around with him all the time. If something happens, you deserve it.”

Sheng Fei cried out in protest. “I don’t even want to deal with that pretty boy, he’s the one who keeps following me around…”

“Alright, let’s split up and search. Meet me by the Gastrodia elata field later.”

With that, Sheng Nuan slung her basket over her back and casually continued forward.

Customer service had said Xie Ze was fine, that he was purposely lying at the bottom of the pit, not making a sound or calling for help… No matter how you look at it, he sounds like a total nutcase.

Let him lie there as long as he wants.

Sheng Nuan leisurely strolled ahead, picking mushrooms and chestnuts along the way. When she finally neared the pit Xie Ze had fallen into, she half-heartedly called out a couple of times.

“Xie Ze…”

“Xie Ze…”

At the bottom of the pit, Xie Ze suddenly smiled, his eyes lighting up with excitement and curiosity.

If he kept quiet, would she still be able to find him?

The next moment, Xie Ze saw a head appear above the pit.

Sheng Nuan leaned over and looked down at him. After a pause, she asked, “Are you brain-dead or something? You don’t know how to respond when someone calls?”

But Xie Ze just broke into a wide grin…

When he was about to be buried, she was able to pull him back, and now, even after he fell into a deep pit and stayed silent, she still managed to find him… How wonderful!

Soon, Sheng Fei found a rope, tied it to a tree, and helped pull Xie Ze out of the pit, all the while cursing. “When the hell are you going to leave me alone? I’m begging you, alright? Can you stop following me?”

Xie Ze coughed dryly. “Sorry, it was an accident.”

The three of them walked back, with Sheng Fei grumbling and cursing the whole way.

Xie Ze walked beside Sheng Nuan, a smile tugging at the corners of his eyes and lips. “You’ve saved me again.”

Sheng Nuan looked up at him. “Then what?”

Xie Ze tentatively suggested, “The grace of saving my life… should be repaid with my body.”

Sheng Nuan was shocked. “Are you repaying kindness with vengeance?”

Xie Ze fell silent, gazing at her for a moment before saying, “Is it okay if I give myself to you for free?”

Sheng Nuan quickly put some distance between them. “No, no, the more something is free, the more likely there are pitfalls. Please, just let me go…”

Xie Ze: ……

When they reached the riverside road, Pei Shuo’s military jeep drove past them and stopped a short distance ahead.

Sheng Nuan walked over with a grin. “Company Commander Pei, heading out?”

Pei Shuo glanced at Sheng Fei, who was standing not far away with a suspicious look on his face, then spoke to Sheng Nuan in a gentle voice, “I’m heading to the county, and I might come back late. There’s some chocolate on the table in my room. Help yourself.”

Sheng Nuan grinned playfully. “Sure! I’ll go back and eat it first, and later, I’ll let you know whether it’s sweet or not.”

She smiled like a little fox with evil intentions. Pei Shuo’s eyes darkened, and he gave her a deep look, lowering his voice. “I’ll settle accounts with you later.”

After that, he drove off.

Sheng Nuan continued on her way, smiling all the while.

Behind her, Xie Ze glanced at the jeep driving off into the distance, his brow furrowing slightly, deep in thought…

That afternoon, Sheng Nuan went to the river to check the fishing nets and ran into Sheng Xi.

After several days, Sheng Qian finally went out.

Her mother had comforted her, saying that no one knew what had happened, and everyone believed she had simply fallen off her bike and told her not to be afraid. But as Sheng Qian stepped outside, she still felt her whole body trembling.

Every time she encountered someone, she felt as if they were looking at her; like they knew about it. She imagined everyone was secretly gossiping about her and laughing at her.

But she couldn’t avoid going out. If she stayed inside for too long, people would start to get suspicious and spread even more rumors.

Sheng Xi looked like a ghost, her face pale and her posture timid, and then she saw Sheng Nuan.

The moment she saw Sheng Nuan, she suddenly froze, a tide of resentment and hatred swelling within her. She took a few steps forward and stared intently at Sheng Nuan.

“It was you, you harmed me on purpose, didn’t you?” Sheng Xi spat through gritted teeth.

She knew it was Sheng Nuan.

She had clearly drugged Sheng Nuan’s bowl of water, but in the end, Sheng Nuan was fine, and it was she who ended up in trouble.

There had only been Sheng Nuan in the room. If it wasn’t her, who else could it have been?

Seeing the deep hatred in Sheng Xi’s eyes, Sheng Nuan blinked innocently. “Harm you? Sister Xi, what are you talking about?”

In the next moment, Sheng Nuan covered her mouth and widened her eyes. “Sister Xi, did something happen to you? What happened? Tell me.”

Sheng Xi’s face turned pale. “It was you. You switched our water, didn’t you?”

Sheng Nuan smiled.

She leaned in closer to Sheng Xi and whispered, “Yes, I switched the water, but… where did that drugged water come from?”

Sheng Nuan clicked her tongue. “When you harm others, you end up harming yourself. Do you still think you’re the one being wronged?”

Sheng Xi raised her hand to hit Sheng Nuan, but Sheng Nuan easily pushed her away.

Stumbling and falling to the ground, Sheng Xi’s eyes burned with hatred as she gritted her teeth. “I won’t let you go, I won’t let you off!”

Sheng Nuan crouched down in front of her with a smile. “You’ve got it wrong. It’s me who won’t let you off… You don’t really think this is the end, do you?”

Sheng Nuan grinned and slowly, deliberately said, “And… don’t worry, there’s more to come.”
