Lose My Heart to the Lovely Kitten Princess - Chapter 257
Chapter 257 Déjà vu
“I’m in pain. Hug me!”
Cheng Xiaoxiao, who had been embraced and released, did not pester Chu Yunshen like she did last night. She covered her forehead and shrank back to the side of the table.
Cheng Xiaoxiao did not find it dirty, and she could sit anywhere. She almost wiped the dust on the floor of the room clean.
If it were not for the fact that Fairy Dress was extraordinary, she would definitely have been as dirty as a savage now.
Unfortunately, no matter how gorgeous the skirt was, it could not save Cheng Xiaoxiao from being clumsy. She kept crying continuously as if she had endless tears.
Chu Yunshen squatted in front of Cheng Xiaoxiao and pursed his lips tightly. His fingers moved restlessly again. Several times, he wanted to reach out to wipe away the beads of tears on her cheeks for her.
“Why don’t you care about me? Am I not your little cutie?”
Cheng Xiaoxiao covered her head with her hand again and blinked her eyes with all her might. She complained to Chu Yunshen as much as she could. As she suddenly looked up, the tears in her originally red eyes also dropped one by one.
However, her actions seemed to frighten Chu Yunshen. At this time, tears suddenly flowed down her face. Chu Yunshen finally released his clenched fists that he had hidden in his sleeves.
This time, Chu Yunshen did not hesitate. He reached into his pocket and took out a black handkerchief. He hurriedly handed it to Cheng Xiaoxiao. However, his movements looked awkward and stiff.
“Wipe your face first.”
Chu Yunshen looked at Cheng Xiaoxiao up and down several times. After thinking for a while, he frowned and put the handkerchief on Cheng Xiaoxiao’s knee.
“No, I don’t want to!” Cheng Xiaoxiao shook her head hard. Her eyes were originally very big, but because of the drug, she could not open them completely. Now, she was crying so badly that her eyes were swollen like peaches.
When Cheng Xiaoxiao shook her head, Chu Yunshen could only see Cheng Xiaoxiao’s pair of eyes that were focused on him constantly shaking.
Chu Yunshen pinched his nose, feeling a headache coming on. He only felt that if Cheng Xiaoxiao continued to whine, the people outside the room would probably rush in to check on them.
“What do you want then?”
Chu Yunshen sighed. He didn’t know what to do or how to react.
“Uh… Uh…”
Cheng Xiaoxiao tilted her head and covered her forehead with her hand while thinking for a long time. Coupled with her cat-like face, she looked hilarious and adorable.
“Wipe for me! Hehehe…”
Chu Yunshen had been waiting for Cheng Xiaoxiao to finish speaking, yet he didn’t expect such a request from her.
His ears almost turned pink in an instant, and his eyes that met Cheng Xiaoxiao’s shameless eyes slightly shifted, and he deliberately avoided Cheng Xiaoxiao’s gaze.
As if she had discovered a treasure, Cheng Xiaoxiao giggled and reached out to touch the tip of Chu Yunshen’s ear. Her other hand was still covering her forehead, and she tilted her head, looking adorable.
“Why are your ears red?”
Cheng Xiaoxiao curiously pointed at Chu Yunshen’s ear as she slowly enunciated each word.
“Shush.”
Chu Yunshen tilted his head slightly, wanting to avoid Cheng Xiaoxiao’s touch, and his ears became redder. The muddle-headed Cheng Xiaoxiao became intrigued. The more Chu Yunshen avoided her, the more she wanted to move closer to Chu Yunshen.
She wiped away the remaining tears on her face, but she smeared her face, and the stains on her face became even more obvious.
Chu Yunshen observed Cheng Xiaoxiao from the corner of his eyes. When he sensed her approach, his first reaction was to stand up from the ground. However, he just thought about it and didn’t take any action. The appearance of Cheng Xiaoxiao falling flashed through his mind, and he was astonished.
It was precisely because of this trance that Cheng Xiaoxiao had successfully crawled over to him and carefully observed his ears.
Cheng Xiaoxiao lay on Chu Yunshen’s shoulder and leaned most of her body against Chu Yunshen. She kept stroking and poking at Chu Yunshen’s ears with her round and neatly trimmed fingers.
She didn’t poke him hard, and she couldn’t accurately touch him since she couldn’t see clearly, but Chu Yunshen felt that part of his face around his ears had become particularly sensitive.
He could even clearly feel Cheng Xiaoxiao’s breath lingering in his ears. Every breath she puffed, Chu Yunshen wanted to breathe with her.
There was also Cheng Xiaoxiao’s voice. She had been talking to herself all the time. Her voice was very small, and Chu Yunshen could not hear it clearly, but her voice would disturb all his thoughts.
Chu Yunshen had no way to calm down and think seriously. He wanted to stand up, but he was afraid that Cheng Xiaoxiao would fall down. In addition, Cheng Xiaoxiao’s entire weight was on him now. He believed that his guess would definitely come true.
How about asking her directly?
Chu Yunshen was also very embarrassed, but on second thought, he maintained the posture and spoke to Cheng Xiaoxiao under the table.
“Cheng Xiaoxiao…”
“Call me Xiaoxiao!”
Cheng Xiaoxiao ruthlessly poked Chu Yunshen’s ear and loudly corrected him.
“Xiaoxiao…” Chu Yunshen was shocked by Cheng Xiaoxiao’s shout. He paused for a while and continued to ask, “Xiaoxiao, were you the one who saved me before?”
Chu Yunshen thought about it and decided not to be too hasty. He did not rush to ask Cheng Xiaoxiao about her secrets. Instead, he asked another question that he had always wanted to ask.
Chu Yunshen originally suspected that it was not a coincidence that he could escape danger every time he had the Persian cat with him. When he discovered the existence of Cheng Xiaoxiao, the woman in blue, he became even more determined.
In spite of that, he couldn’t figure out how Cheng Xiaoxiao did it although he knew the cat and Cheng Xiaoxiao were the same people last night.
Cheng Xiaoxiao was just a woman, and Chu Yunshen did not feel any fluctuation of inner force from her. Moreover, Chu Yunshen survived the ordeal several times although he was almost certain that he would die.
However, Cheng Xiaoxiao’s existence was full of unknowns, so even if Chu Yunshen gave it a lot of thinking, he felt that he would believe everything she said, regardless of the reasons.
As soon as he figured this out, Chu Yunshen was also shocked.
He was not a sentimental person, to begin with, not to mention trusting someone he didn’t know at all wholeheartedly, and that “someone” was not really a “human”.
Whether Chu Yunshen believed it or not, Cheng Xiaoxiao answered him faithfully this time. Instead, she rested her chin on Chu Yunshen’s shoulder and asked.
“Which time are you talking about? Is it in the forest or the well?”
Before Chu Yunshen could answer, Cheng Xiaoxiao counted with her fingers again. “Or the time when Uncle Gen killed someone? Or, I saved you during the Wan Xia incident, or you wouldn’t have woken up…”
Cheng Xiaoxiao continued to ramble on. It was unknown if the drug had taken effect, but she actually yawned. If Cheng Xiaoxiao hadn’t said it, Chu Yunshen wouldn’t have noticed it himself. It turned out that the two of them had already experienced so much together.
“How did you save me?”
When Chu Yunshen spoke again, he found that his voice was very dry. It sounded like it was covered in dust. As soon as he finished asking, Cheng Xiaoxiao began to chatter again. Chu Yunshen also fell into his memories.
In fact, even without Cheng Xiaoxiao saying it, Chu Yunshen could already guess it. The injuries on the cat’s body became more and more serious each time, and they showed him her difficulties and suffering.
Especially that time when Li Genfa…
The scenes that Chu Yunshen had thought were all illusions now became unusually clear.
But how did she make Xiaowu listen to her? Xiaowu was also unconscious at that time.
Chu Yunshen wanted to ask Cheng Xiaoxiao about the demonic cat. After all, these things, including Qin later, were so incredible that it was impossible to explain them under normal circumstances.
However, thinking of Cheng Xiaoxiao’s explosive personality, Chu Yunshen was determined to continue waiting for Cheng Xiaoxiao to explain them herself.
Cheng Xiaoxiao muttered to herself for quite a while before her voice gradually grew louder.
“I have the jade pendant! Besides, I still have the jade box now. Otherwise, it would be impossible for me to turn into a human.”
As Cheng Xiaoxiao spoke, she reached her hand into the collar of her clothes and rummaged around. She pulled open the chest area of the Fairy Dress. Only then did she take out a red rope from the pocket at her chest.
Chu Yunshen turned his head slightly to the other side when Cheng Xiaoxiao reached out to take the jade pendant. He didn’t turn his head back to take a look until Cheng Xiaoxiao cried out in alarm, “Found you!”
When Chu Yunshen saw the somewhat familiar jade pendant, his good memory made him suddenly think of something.
The little palace maid who stole pastries at the palace banquet!
She was the little palace maid who was teased by Chu Jingshuo and then asked him for help!
The gate of memory in Chu Yunshen’s mind was completely opened. He remembered everything now. At that time, he felt that the little palace maid behaved strangely. Her words and actions were different from other maids. However, he never cared about these matters. When the palace maid grabbed his clothes and asked him to help, he was even a little enraged.
He still remembered that the palace maid at that time had very big eyes. He did not pay attention to other things, but he remembered the jade pendant.
At that time, he was extremely disgusted with the palace maid because he thought that the jade pendant was a valuable treasure. At this time, when he connected the palace maid with Cheng Xiaoxiao, it finally dawned upon him.
It turned out that they had already met in person earlier on, but he didn’t know at that time.
“You went to the palace banquet, didn’t you?”
Thinking of the misunderstanding of Cheng Xiaoxiao at that time, as well as the fact that he almost left without caring about Cheng Xiaoxiao at that time, Chu Yunshen inexplicably felt a little ashamed.
He reached out and touched Cheng Xiaoxiao’s disheveled hair that was loose, and only then did he find that this feeling was very similar to the previous fluffy touch of the cat.
Chu Yunshen’s heart seemed to be hit by something, and it melted into a pool of shapeless spring water.
“I didn’t eat anything tasty at the palace banquet. Also! Chu Jingshuo, that pervert! He…”
Speaking of the palace banquet, Cheng Xiaoxiao constantly talked in Chu Yunshen’s ear like a little sparrow chirping outside the window nonstop.
It just so happened that Cheng Xiaoxiao’s voice was soft and sweet, with the tone of her voice coupled with her constantly dancing body movements, her appearance was exceptionally cute.
