Chapter 18: Pure Love World Arc 1

  When he woke up again, Suoluo was on a means of transportation, but it wasn't a train, car, boat or plane, rather an extremely ancient sedan chair.

  That's right, this time she traveled back in time to ancient times, and it was her favorite ancient style danmei novel!

  Wow wow wow! Wolf blood is boiling!!!!! However, Liu Qianqian, don't think that I will forgive you just because of this!

  Don't look at Su Luo's usual serious appearance, often holding a thick book to read, but who says that goddesses and academic tyrants can't be rotten girls. Secretly telling everyone, what she loves most is not textbooks, but all kinds of BL novels, it's just that she has been relatively self-controlled and hasn't spent too much time on them.

  Liu Qianqian is a sao who reads BL, but Su Luo is a dark horse. Most people start with BG and then move to B1 when they get bored, but she's an exception. If she doesn't read it, that's fine, but once she starts, she must be B1, and she accepts all kinds of genres, including pure and smutty ones. She's even considered the ancestor of their generation's rotten girls. Liu Qianqian's knowledge about danmei was initially spread by her, including what it means to be gong, shou, juhua, huanggua... What does it mean to be a rotten girl? Anyway, let's talk about this book. It's about two childhood friends who grow up together, fall in love, but are unable to be together due to societal pressures, and ultimately die together.

  The young master's name is Xu Zilin. His family has a security firm and a merchant fleet, making him a rich second-generation heir. After his father was murdered while escorting a shipment, as the eldest son, he had to bear the heavy responsibility of supporting his family, so he became introverted and mature beyond his years.

  Xiao Shou's name was Su Mo, also a young orphan. His mother had devoted herself to Buddhism and ignored her children, so he was sent to live with his uncle, who was the county magistrate. Although he had enough food and clothing, he still felt stifled living under someone else's roof.

  Two people have been enlightened in the same private school since childhood, and they also worshiped under the same master, so their feelings are more affectionate than other fellow students. Moreover, with similar experiences, the darkest period of each other's life was spent together, sometimes sleeping with their feet against each other, sharing their innermost thoughts, and their friendship gradually changed in flavor.

  Su Luo crossed over into the body of Su Luoluo, the younger sister of the original protagonist. Although she was also a dependent, because her older brother had always doted on her since childhood and the county magistrate's wife had given birth to a dozen sons, they yearned for a daughter, so her treatment was in no way inferior to that of a legitimate young lady. In all matters, her older brothers and cousins would yield to her, her uncle and aunt would spoil her, and the maidservants and young servants did not dare to neglect her. Over time, she had developed a proud and overbearing personality, but because she was beautiful and had a sweet mouth, no one really held it against her.

  The little girl had reached the age of first love, and the object of her first heart palpitations was her brother's good friend. As a result, after a series of hints and suggestions to him, he remained unmoved, and even told her that he already had someone arranged for marriage by their families.

  Miss Su inquired and indeed it was the case. However, you're just a petty scholar's daughter, what are you worth? You also dare to compete with me for a man! I can take you down in seconds!

  She pouted her small mouth, stomped her small feet, and held back tears, making a scene in the yamen's rear courtyard. With ease, she got the first lady of the mansion to agree: "I'll definitely get the marriage contract annulled!"

  Those advisors and bailiffs brothers are not being kept for nothing, in less than three days the good news came: Zhang Xiucan's family returned the marriage, and also transferred his daughter to a older Sun Yuanwai, just to exchange that white and bright betrothal gift (and the compensation gold from the governor's family).

  Miss Su felt relieved and happily prepared for her marriage.

  Originally, Xu Zilin was dead set against it. Having finally resolved the marriage arranged by his parents, how could he turn around and marry another woman? Moreover, this woman was the younger sister of the one he had feelings for. What a ridiculous situation! However, Su Mu put aside her pride and humbled herself to beg him for the sake of her sister's happiness.

  Even if he could withstand the pressure of officialdom and business circles, he couldn't bear to let Su Mu be heartbroken, so he could only reluctantly agree.

  So, Miss Su got on the flower sedan chair that was exchanged for her brother's happiness. When they were almost at the husband's home, it turned into the current Su Luoluo.

  Seeing this, everyone thought that the goddess's task this time was to steal her brother's man?

  Wrong! Absolutely wrong!

  Su Luo, Liu Qianqian (and the author herself) are all well-cultivated rotten women who can withstand tests and are qualified products. How could such a conscience-less thing happen? Not only can't they be separated, but also they should be united!

  Because Su Luo's last task was so satisfying, Liu Qianqian was very pleased, so she agreed that this time she didn't have to be cruel, as long as she did a good job of matching the two people.

  The big red veil covered her, unable to see the outside world. Su Luo was arranged by Xi Niang like this, getting off the sedan chair, entering the door, and then step by step making a bow, finally finishing the ceremony, being sent into the bridal chamber.

  You'd think she'd be nervous about her first marriage, but not really, because all she could think about was the thrill of seeing her favorite male-male CP (couple) and besides, the groom didn't hold any interest for her at all, no threat whatsoever.

  As soon as she heard the surroundings quiet down, thinking that the idle people had already left, Su Luo quickly lifted off the veil that was suffocating her and making it hard for her to breathe.

  "Let Yan'er stay, and everyone else can go down."

  This girl was very honest, obedient, diligent and good at serving in the original work, and she was extremely loyal and never spoke much. Su Luo decided to cultivate her as her first trusted subordinate from now on.

  "Miss... this is not proper, let the slaves stay and serve instead. Soon the young master will arrive and they need to perform the ritual of bowing to each other." The accompanying maid was pushed out by the other maids with their eyes.

  "How dare you, this is just leaving the house and not putting Miss's words in your eyes?" Isn't it always like this with Master Bo?

  "The slaves dare not." The maids and servants knelt down in fear, thinking that the original master's power still lingered.

  "Get up."

  "Thank you, Miss. The servant takes his leave."

  A group of people bowed and withdrew in an orderly manner.

  "Yan'er, go fetch a basin of hot water, Miss wants to wash up."

  "Yes."

  Before long, Yan'er came back with a hot towel.

  Washed off the red makeup, removed the hairpins and rings, finally felt relieved, rubbed fists and palms to prepare for the task.

  "Yan'er, go to the hall and tell Young Master that Miss is too tired and has already gone to sleep. Tell him to come over alone after the banquet ends, and we'll skip the disturbance of the bridal chamber. Also, go find Second Young Master and tell him I have an urgent matter to discuss with him, ask him to come over immediately, remember, don't alarm anyone else, just quietly come in."

  "Yes." Xiao Jiejie went off with a hum, executing her task, and didn't forget to take away the used face wash water.

  In less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, footsteps were heard outside the door.

  "Luo Er, what's up with you looking for me?" A handsome man in ancient costume with a melancholic temperament pushed open the door and walked in.

  Wow! What a beautiful scene! Such a vivid beauty! Unfortunately, I don't have a SLR camera with me, otherwise I would take a photo and post it on Douban or Tianya, and it's sure to be a hit.

  "Luo Er, Luo Er, what's wrong, don't scare me!" Su Luo called out to him, but he didn't respond, his face still wearing that eerie and crazy expression, successfully frightening him.

  "Brother! Sit, sit down quickly!" She pulled Su Mo's hand and dragged him to the edge of the bed, making him sit down. At the same time, she secretly touched his hand, hmm, not bad, it felt very tender.

  Looking around, the whole room is a sea of red: two large dragon and phoenix candles, numerous big and small auspicious couplets, embroidered mandarin duck bed curtains and quilts, and my sister in front of me wearing festive clothes...

  All of this was enough to bring Su Mu to the verge of tears.

  Su Mu, Su Mu, after today, he will be your brother-in-law, so quickly cut off those improper thoughts!

  Although he tried to hide it, Su Niang still felt his sadness and quickly took off her wedding dress.

  She finished undressing herself and then turned around to undress Sumu.

  "Brother, hurry up and take off your outer shirt first."

  Su Mu suddenly woke up and jumped out of bed in fright, forgetting his sorrow.

  No way! Could it be that my sister... she's... she's in love with me?! No no no! This is against all moral principles!

  "Lo'er, no, no way, no way! Tonight is your wedding night, I'm your brother, we're siblings!" Su Mu covered his collar with one hand and his waistband with the other, his face flushing red as he tried to stop the woman's roaming hands.

  "Huh?!!......"

  It suddenly dawned on him that he had made a mistake, and Su Luo hastily stopped undressing: "Brother, tonight is not my wedding night, it's your and Xu Da Ge's wedding night. So, hurry up and put on this wedding dress to see if it fits."

  "Lo'er, wh...what did you say?" Poor Su Mo hadn't recovered yet and was startled again.

  "Brother, I know you and Xu have feelings for each other, but societal norms dictate that you two can't be together openly. So, I came up with this plan - we'll pretend to repair the bridge in public while secretly crossing the river, what do you think? Isn't it clever?" He looked at Su Mu with a face full of expectation for praise.

  "Luó, you... how can you joke about your own lifelong happiness? Have you thought about Father and Mother's feelings? If it's for the sake of brotherhood that you're ruining your life, where will I be placed? How will I face Father in the afterlife?! No way, this matter, I, I cannot agree. You should just marry Xu Zilong with a clear conscience." Su Luo's words shocked him and moved him even more. He never thought that his sister, who he had always considered to be reckless and unreasonable, would actually see through his heart and be willing to make such a huge sacrifice for him... truly... didn't know what to say. Thinking back to how he once resented her because of their marriage, his heart now ached with self-reproach.

  He originally thought that this life with Xu Zilin would end like this, each becoming someone else's spouse, then meeting like ordinary friends, just exchanging greetings, gathering together, drinking a couple of cups, both remembering each other in their hearts, living day by day, growing old day by day, maybe forgetting about each other before death, and leaving without any regrets. Or, if they couldn't forget even until death, then taking this feeling to the grave, praying that they could meet again in the next life...

  Little did he know, just when he had lost all hope, things took a sudden turn for the better. Someone was willing to help them be together!

  How can such a great temptation not move his heart, this is the scene he has always dreamed of, now it's right in front of him, just within reach! As long as he stretches out his hand, takes that wedding dress, no matter what happens in the future, no matter if there is a name or not, at least for now, he can be with the one he loves, why hesitate?!

  No! Sumu, you can't be so selfish. He is your sister's husband. If you agree to this, what will happen to her in the future?

  Zi Lin doesn't have Luo Er in his heart, and it seems Luo Er doesn't love him either. Why can't I...

  ……

  In Su Mo's body, it was as if two souls were fighting, one ice and one fire, almost tearing him apart. In the end, reason and responsibility triumphed over emotions, and he forced himself to say something against his will.
