Chapter 114: Nightmare
However, out of habit, she still stared into the latter’s eyes and tried to make herself look as imposing as possible. “If I realise you’re lying to , you’ll know what will happen!”
“I’m an orphan if I lie to you!” Jiang Cheng raised his right hand to swear. After so long, Chen Xiaong was tired. She pointed at Jiang Cheng with the rope and said, “You, get out of the bed.”
“Tsk.” Jiang Cheng looked unwilling but had to surrender to Chen Xiaong’s power. He slowly rolled out of the bed.
“Why are you acting like this?” Cheng Xiaong felt her rage burning when she looked at him. “I am not doing anything to you!”
Jiang Cheng thought for a few minutes. Then, he looked at Chen Xiaong with a mysterious gaze. He shimmied shyly. “Be a little courageous. I’m not as soft as you think.”
Chen Xiaong, “...Do you wish to sleep outside the room?”
“I don’t care.” Jiang Cheng gathered his courage and huffed, “There’s only one bed here. Why do you have to keep it and not ? I want to sleep in bed too. My body is very fragile. If I get ill from sleeping on the ground, the ladies who love
will never forgive you. You better consider your decision.”
“I’ve considered this a lot.” Chen Xiaong turned and pointed at the door. “I’ll give you two choices. One is to shut up and sleep on the ground. Two, get out of this room now!”
“If you let
sleep in bed, I can reveal so information to you.” Jiang Cheng subtly changed his thod. He raised his brows. “About this mission.”
Chen Xiaong’s expression shifted. She gave Jiang Cheng a once-over and then nodded, “Sure, but I warn you. Don’t try to lie to .”
Jiang Cheng bounced over to Chen Xiaong. When he was shot a warning glance, he moved back.
“I feel like sothing is not right with Lee Lu,” He whispered. Chen Xiaong glanced at him, clearly wanting him to continue.
“Lee Lu said she was just a normal housewife and had a working-class husband and a three-year-old daughter. She had a personality that matched it.” Jiang Cheng added, “In our discussions, she had never actively given any opinions. She showcases a classic follower personality.
“However, when it ca to whether we should head to the Little Ravine Village tomorrow, she beca a different person. She was even forceful.” Jiang Cheng glanced at the door and continued, “That didn’t match her at all. She should be supporting Bei Qian, not Zhou Rong.”
Chen Xiaong nodded and beca serious, “So… you suspect she has so other clues that led her to make this decision.”
“Yes.”
When Chen Xiaong turned back to check where Jiang Cheng was standing, the latter was gone. Instead, there was a human bulge in the bed.
“We should get to sleep.” Jiang Cheng poked his head out of the blanket and called Chen Xiaong happily, “Late sleep is not good for your skin.”
Chen Xiaong walked over and resisted the urge to pull Jiang Cheng out of bed. She whispered, “Do you think she has the thing?”
“That, I’m not sure. I just think she’s acting strange.” Jiang Cheng wiggled in bed. Then, as Chen Xiaong looked on in shock, Jiang Cheng pushed his clothes and pants from under the blanket. He placed them neatly beside the bed. He turned to look at Chen Xiaong with anticipation.
Chen Xiaong’s face was cold, and she raised her leg. Before he was kicked, Jiang Cheng rolled to the side. Chen Xiaong lay down without removing her clothes.
The fla of the oil lamp slowly dimd. While Chen Xiaong was falling asleep, she felt soone move beside her. It was a giant movent, making the whole bed vibrate. She instantly sat up and glared at Jiang Cheng, “What are you doing?”
“Nothing.” Jiang Cheng’s head was inside the blanket, and his voice was muffled. “I had a nightmare. It was scary.”
Having a nightmare inside the nightmare realm… Was it like Inception? Chen Xiaong felt that it was scary, but since it was happening to Jiang Cheng, she felt a bit of excitent. She closed her eyes, and then…
CREAK
CREAK
CREAK
Jiang Cheng convulsed like he was sick. This scared Chen Xiaong. Even though they hadn’t reached the Little Ravine Village, the mission had already started. Jiang Cheng was the first to be targeted.
Instantly, Chen Xiaong rolled away and got out of bed with great expertise. At this mont, one could easily tell the difference between a newbie and an expert. After Chen Xiaong left the bed, she instantly moved to the door. During the whole process, she didn’t make a sound. Her first reaction was to verify her hypothesis. In this mission, if soone had a nightmare when they were sleeping, they were in danger. Just like how Jiang Cheng was. The man was curled up in the blanket, and his body rose and fell heavily like a fish out of water. The old bedfra creaked noisily like it was about to break at any mont.
For about a minute or shorter, Chen Xiaong’s heart was pulled taut. Just as she considered leaving, Jiang Cheng suddenly beca quiet. The whole room beca silent. The small light danced. Dust fluttered in the air.
Jiang Cheng’s sigh ca from the bed. He reached out his hand to scratch his hair, and then he turned over with peace on his face. It was like everything he did was a simple exercise or… a ga.
Chen Xiaong’s pupils trembled when she realised she had been fooled by Jiang Cheng. The fury in her heart could not be contained. She stomped forward and kicked at the thing in bed. She didn’t hold back. She sent Jiang Cheng flying to the ground.
Then… Jiang Cheng slept on the ground, wrapped in a blanket. He had no pillows except the pile made from his clothes.
