Su Tang finished the kiss and held back her laughter. With a shy face, she said, "Tingting, I'm sorry, I was too happy and lost control for a moment. Are you alright? Why is your face so red?"
Lu Yunting was shocked. How could he be alright?
However, years of good upbringing forced him to calm down.
"This lady…"
Before he could finish, Su Tang interrupted him, "Tingting, what's wrong? You used to call me darling, why are you so distant now? Do you have other sweethearts outside? You've changed, you're not my Tingting anymore!"
Su Tang was possessed by a drama queen, while Lu Yunting felt like he was going crazy.
What darling, what sweetheart, what was all this about! He clearly remembered, no, his memory was a mess, fragmented. He could sense that something was wrong with him, but he couldn't tell what it was.
He rubbed his temples. The surroundings were unfamiliar, but he could still feel that the girl in front of him meant no harm.
"This lady…"
He started again, but Su Tang looked at him with resentment. This time, she didn't make a fuss, but tears streamed down her face like a broken string of pearls. She looked like a wronged child who wouldn't speak!
Lu Yunting took a deep breath, feeling like his years of cultivation were about to crumble.
"This…" He paused, seeing her still looking at him with resentment, he took another deep breath and said dryly, "Darling."
Su Tang immediately burst into tears and laughter, "Oh, Tingting~"
Lu Yunting endured it for a while before finally forcing out a gentle smile, "Can you tell me what happened? My memory seems to be a little messed up."
Speaking of this, the girl's expression became serious for once.
Without the noisy Tingting, without the endless tears, Lu Yunting finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Su Tang didn't fool him but briefly explained what had happened, "You practiced demonic arts."
Lu Yunting frowned, "That's impossible."
Su Tang looked at him with a touched and shy expression, "For me, you dispersed your demonic arts, but something went wrong in the middle. How are you now? Are you feeling unwell anywhere?"
Lu Yunting didn't believe that he would cultivate demonic arts, and in fact, he didn't believe that he would find such a fiancée. Although she was beautiful, he really couldn't stand her personality.
Then, putting the matter of demonic arts aside, Su Tang asked someone to bring a stack of letters and paintings from the study.
During the three years that Lu Yunting stayed in the Medicine King Valley to recover from his injuries, Su Tang had played many tricks on him, such as forcing him to handwrite love poems and draw her portraits.
At first, Lu Yunting refused, but he couldn't stand Su Tang's ruthlessness. She directly told him that if he didn't agree, he would have to sleep with her tonight.
Between sleeping with her and love poems, he naturally chose the latter.
Therefore, he left behind so much 'evidence'.
Su Tang held back her laughter and began to read sentence by sentence, even with emotion, "My love for you grows stronger, though my waist grows thin; I'd gladly waste away for you, even if it meant becoming your enemy. Tingting told me at that time that for me, he would be willing to be covered in wounds and become the enemy of the world, as long as I was happy. But how could I bear to let Tingting do that? My Tingting is so good. Everyone says I'm a witch, but only Tingting doesn't dislike me."
The veins on Lu Yunting's forehead were about to burst, but he still restrained himself.
He took a deep breath and told himself it was okay, it was just a letter, it didn't mean anything. The handwriting was similar, but maybe someone else imitated it.
Then, he saw Su Tang take out another portrait.
The beauty in the painting was leaning lazily in a bathtub filled with red roses. Her fair skin appeared even more dazzling against the red roses. Her eyes were slightly closed, and her long blue hair cascaded down. Even though her eyes weren't open, it was hard to look away.
This was a temptress, captivating people effortlessly.
Su Tang remembered that she wasn't actually naked at that time; she was fully dressed under the water. But Lu Yunting didn't know that. When he was painting, not only were his earlobes red, but he even had a nosebleed in the end.
Look, there was still a drop of dried blood on the painting.
At first, Lu Yunting could still deceive himself. The handwriting could be similar, but if even the painting style was the same, he couldn't fool himself anymore.
His hands trembled, and he wanted to destroy the painting, but then he saw Su Tang carefully rolling it up like a treasure.
"Our Tingting even had a nosebleed at that time. I have to keep this, such a precious memory."
Lu Yunting: "…"
Where on earth did he provoke this witch!
He didn't want to look at the rest. Anyway, it was either love poems or various paintings. Judging from the time, they had been together for a long time.
Lu Yunting shut down. His current memories were from before he was seventeen years old. He hadn't experienced the death of his family, but occasionally, strange fragments flashed through his mind, some of which included him. So he concluded that something must have happened to him.
As for Su Tang, an inexplicable sense of familiarity stopped him from strangling her.
Of course, despite Su Tang's mischievousness, she still told him about the current situation.
For example, his parents were dead, he had taken control of the Lu family, the Jiang family of Lanling, and he had even killed the City Lord of Yancheng in the Western Regions and given the city to Su Tang as a betrothal gift.
Su Tang didn't hide these things, so if he wanted to investigate, he would find out everything.
Then he shut down even more.
He began to believe that he had indeed practiced demonic arts and gone insane, otherwise, why would he have done such things!
However, it didn't matter if he shut down because Su Tang had more tricks up her sleeve. For example, now that night had fallen and it was time for dinner, she brought over a bunch of dark and unappetizing food from who knows where.
Then she looked at him expectantly, "Tingting, you used to love the food I made. Try it and see if it reminds you of anything."
Lu Yunting could no longer maintain his elegant and gentle demeanor. He looked at the dishes with a straight face, feeling that he had been really cruel to himself in the past to be able to stomach such food.
Su Tang blinked her starry eyes, "What's wrong, Tingting?"
Lu Yunting, "I suddenly don't feel hungry."
"Oh." Su Tang said, "Then let's go to bed since you're not hungry." After saying that, she ignored the food, pulled Lu Yunting towards the bed, and started to undress him as they walked.
Lu Yunting broke down, "What are you doing?!"
Su Tang asked in confusion, "What's wrong, Tingting? Didn't we used to love playing these games? You know, the kind where I'm the domineering one and you're the powerless scholar. I'm the bully who specializes in picking on handsome young men like you."
Lu Yunting: "…"
He wanted to go out and kill someone to vent his frustration.
Su Tang didn't intend to push him too far. It was only the first day, so she finally let him go when he was on the verge of collapse.
She took a step back, her voice soft and pitiful, "Tingting, you really won't let me sleep with you?"
Lu Yunting gritted his teeth, "No need."
Su Tang clung to the door, blinking her moist eyes and looking at him reluctantly, "Then if you can't sleep tonight, you can come to me. You always said that you couldn't sleep without me, that I was your medicine, the only medicine in the world."
Lu Yunting pulled her hand off the door with a straight face, then pushed the door shut in one swift motion.
The world was finally quiet.
Lu Yunting: I, Tingting, don't want feelings anymore.
