1003: Waking up (5)

Waking up (5)

Just like that, Xie Jingxing carried her out, attracting the servants to look at the two of them. In her previous life and this life, Shen Miao had never been so close to a man. She always had to put on the airs of an empress. 0

Shen Miao glanced at the servants who were covering their mouths and giggling. She was angry. She pinched Xie Jingxing and said, "What are you doing? Put me down!"

"Tsk, are you being shy now?" Xie Jingxing raised an eyebrow, his tone so bad that it made people want to beat him up. He said, "I wonder who took advantage of me in broad daylight just now…"

Shen Miao tried her best to calm down and not hit him.

Luo Tan walked in from outside. Growing up, she had never seen a man and a woman interacting so intimately. For a moment, she felt quite ill at ease, not knowing if she should look away or continue to look at the two of them. Shen Miao asked Xie Jingxing to put her down. She asked Luo Tan, "It's been hard on you these days."

"Not at all, not at all." Luo Tan waved her hand repeatedly. Looking at Xie Jingxing, she was a little afraid. A few days ago, she wanted to stand up for Shen Miao and flared up at Xie Jingxing. Later, she regretted it. Xie Jingxing had a high status and was Prince Rui of the Daliang Dynasty. If she angered Xie Jingxing, she would be in trouble. However, looking at Shen Miao and Xie Jingxing being so close, it seemed that they did not quarrel. Luo Tan could not help but feel relieved.

"Oh, right." Luo Tan suddenly thought of something and took out something from her sleeve. She placed it in Shen Miao's hand and said, "Daoist Priest Chi Yan handed this to me before he left and asked me to pass it to you. He said that it's for you."

Luo Tan said, "I wonder why he carved a chicken and a snake on it."

Shen Miao was speechless. She said, "It's a dragon and a phoenix."

Shen Miao opened the wooden box and took out two red strings.

Luo Tan said, "These are just two red strings. What's so special about them? I thought it was something precious. He might as well give you a herb. This Daoist priest is really stingy. He has a mountain of herbs, but he only gives you this…"

Shen Miao stared at the red strings, her eyes flickering.

In her previous life, she had obtained a red string from a Daoist priest. That red string had accompanied her for several years. Later, it went to Xie Jingxing. Her soul had once lived in the red string, and it was also a medium that connected her to Xie Jingxing's fate in her previous life.

She suddenly felt like she had found a long-lost item.

She reached out and tied the red string to her hand. Luo Tan looked at her and said in surprise, "You… little cousin, are you going to wear this?"

Shen Miao looked at the red string in her hand in satisfaction and picked up another one. She said to Xie Jingxing, "Give me your hand."

Xie Jingxing said, "I'm not wearing it."

"Give me your hand!" Shen Miao repeated.

Xie Jingxing looked at her in disbelief. "I'm a man."

"This can keep you safe." Shen Miao said, "We're both wearing this. If you're in danger, I'll know. If I'm in danger, you can feel it too."
