Chapter 218 Chu Tiankuo Appears

Tang Xia felt as if her entire body was immersed in the ice-cold sea, and it seemed that she could only hear the sound of the waves crashing. Her body felt slightly itchy, as if fishes were nibbling at it.

Tang Xia was slightly puzzled about what happened to her. Earlier before… What had happened earlier before?

Her body felt as heavy as lead, and she could feel the seawater filling up her nostrils and choking her slightly. She wanted to cough, but could not manage to do so, no matter what she did.

“What exactly had happened earlier?”

It seemed that she wanted to climb out of this castle, and out of this place to find a place to stay. Subsequently? Subsequently… Someone seemed to have pushed her off. Who pushed her off? Who was it…

Suddenly, she awoke with a start and gulped in deep breaths. Tang Xia felt as if she had been reborn after she escaped from the sea, and she pounded her chest hard.

At that very moment, it felt as if her heart was about to stop. That feeling was akin to that of climbing out from hell.

She shook her head hard, but could only see a blurred scene in front of her. It was as if there was a thin layer of fog, and everything that she saw in front of her, was hazy. She reached out her hand and rubbed her eyes.

It was only then that she found out that the sea of white in front of her was so clear that Tang Xia was stunned. Where is this place? She could not help, but reach out her hand to touch her blanket.

This felt similar to the linen fabric of hospital beds. Tang Xia instantly looked around her in surprise, and when she turned her head, she saw the medical equipment around her. She rubbed her eyes furiously. “Could she be dreaming?”

“I… Did I escape from the Garden of Eden?”

Puzzled, she scanned her surroundings to see if there was anyone, and immediately ran to the window. When she looked out, she saw that the outside view was completely different from that of the castle. One could only see the sea, when one looked out of the windows at the castle.

However, what she saw were trees, flowers and people walking by. She had done it! She truly managed to escape!

Tang Xia was instantly overwhelmed by surprise to the point where she did not know how to react. She danced with joy, as if she was about to fly up to the heavens, and she suddenly lunged for the bed.

She inhaled the scent of the disinfectant that was unique to hospital blankets, and the scent of warm sunshine from the blankets which had been hung out in the sun earlier. This was the scent! This was the scent of freedom!

However, just when she was caught up in her sense of joy, she suddenly heard a sound at the door. She looked up at the door and, true enough, she saw someone at the door, turning his head around slowly to look at her.

Furthermore, that person was Chu Tiankuo, the man whom she was afraid would appear since the time she entered that Garden of Eden! As expected, he still appeared after all…

Both of them looked at each other in silence for some time. Eventually, Chu Tiankuo could not stand it anymore, and walked over slowly. Every step that he took, felt as if he was stepping on her heart.

The entire livestream room seemed to have gone mad. Fans who liked the Chu Tang cp were already fanatical. There was a crowd of excited, crazy cheers for Chu Tiankuo.

“Oh my God!! Chu Tang cp is finally showing some sweetness!”

“We’ve waited for so long! Wuli Chu boss is finally out!”

“Crazy shout out for Chu Tang!”

“…”

Tang Xia watched in shock as Chu Tiankuo walked towards her, step by step. He maintained his usual ice-cold and overbearing face and his eyes had the same unexplainable look in them.

Tang Xia looked at Chu Tiankuo and suddenly remembered how she ran around randomly like a fool earlier before. Could it be… that he saw all of it?!

All of a sudden, her entire body felt well. Her face flushed red like an apple, and she quickly buried her face in the blanket. Chu Tiankuo was also stunned by her sudden action.

Actually, he did not see what Tang Xia did, after she woke up. She was already watching him when he looked over.

“You wretched feet washing maid. How did you end up in such a sorry state?”

Chu Tiankuo thought that the reason that Tang Xia did not have the cheek to face anyone was because she had suffered so many injuries in the castle. Even her hair had been cut off, so he suddenly clutched his waist and mocked her.

Tang Xia gradually sat up straight, and turned her head to look at Chu Tiankuo. Chu Tiankuo looked at Tang Xia, who now had short hair and scars all over her body. He did not know what to say, and remained silent.

There was an unclear look in Chu Tiankuo’s eyes. There was anger, more anger and… self-reproach.

Tang Xia was secretly shocked when she saw his reaction. Why… She also seemed to have a strange feeling in her heart?

She could not help but lower her head ,and shook it to stop her thoughts from running wild. Tang Xia heart was filled with the desire to empty all the thoughts from her mind. “A Chinese cabbage is standing in front of me! Yes! A Chinese cabbage!”

Chu Tiankuo gazed at Tang Xia’s conflicted look quizzically, and gradually smiled at her. Could it be that this woman had become crazy after staying in that place?

Why were all her actions so odd after she woke up? Just when he wanted to reach out and touch her head, Tang Xia suddenly straightened her back, sat up and stared straight at him.

“He is a cabbage! A cabbage!”

As this thought ran through her mind, Tang Xia widened her eyes, as she looked at him. Chu Tiankuo was scared by Tangxia’s abnormal actions, so he simply stood there awkwardly and said slowly, “What happened to you?”

But the more Tang Xia looked at him, the more she felt that something was amiss and she could not help but furrow her brows in doubt. “This face… Why does this face, this figure and this silhouette resemble the man who pushed her into the sea?”

Tang Xia could not help but rise and pinched his cheek as she examined it carefully. It really… looks similar!

She could not help but frown, and in her dazed state, said slowly,

“Why did you push me?”

Chu Tiankuo looked at the dazed Tang Xia who stood before him, and instantly raised his eyebrows in bafflement. “What was the woman talking about? What did she mean when she said that he pushed her?”

He only saw her moments ago and certainly did not push her at all. He could not help but feel puzzled by her question. Tang Xia’s eyes were also still blurry, and she did not manage to react to the situation. She was just voicing out what she felt in her heart. Could it be that she could not be controlled?!

Chu Tiankuo was suddenly shocked by his own thoughts, and he raised his hand to touch her forehead, but the temperature was normal.

Tang Xia was shocked by Chu Tiankuo’s sudden action, and her head cleared up in an instant. She looked at Chu Tiankuo dazedly and slapped his hand away.

“What are you doing?”

Seeing that she still seemed to be very energetic, Chu Tiankuo sighed with relief in his heart, and reached out his hand to tousle her hair.

“You do not have a fever. What nonsense are you spouting?”

Tang Xia instantly became silent. She recalled that she seemed to have asked him if he had pushed her earlier before ,when she was still in a dazed state. She looked up and met his gaze before she said,

“I was pushed into the sea by a man whom I did not know… I was already here when I woke up. But I feel that that man’s silhouette was like yours.”

Stunned, Chu Tiankuo caressed her cheek gently.

“Tell me about the things that happened during this period of time.”

Tang Xia sat there quietly and allowed him to touch her randomly. She also felt a strange feeling in her heart as she calmly told him about all the things that happened in the past two days.

It included how she was locked up in a room, how she was beaten in hell, how Pearl was controlled after she took the medicine in order to save her, as well as the things that happened between Li Xianxian and her. How she eventually caused the death of Elsa and trusted the words of the man in black and fell into the sea…

The only thing that she did not tell him was about how her clothes were removed in public and how she was then dressed in a gown.

She also did not know why, but she simply did not feel like telling him about it.

A strange feeling crossed Tang Xia’s heart. What place did Chu Tiankuo hold in her heart? She vaguely remembered that in the previous livestream, she had shouted at him in the castle that she did not want to see him ever again… Her heart instantly felt an inexplicable stinging pain.

The expression on Chu Tiankuo’s face gradually changed as he listened to her detailed account of her experiences in the castle. His eyes became increasingly dark like the night, and it was as if water would drip from them. Tang Xia looked at Chu Tiankuo, puzzled and asked,

“What’s wrong?”

Chu Tiankuo was silent for a while. His hands covered his face and he looked slightly sullen. Tang Xia became even more confused. Didn’t she only talk about her experiences for the past few days? Why did Chu Tiankuo seem to so embarrassed?

Chu Tiankuo loosened his hand and gradually looked towards Tangxia. “Chu Tianjiao is my younger brother.”

Tang Xia was instantly shocked. She looked up at Chu Tiankuo incredulously. However, it seemed that everything was expected and reasonable.

Suddenly, she remembered the time when she first came to this world. The moment she heard Chu Tianjiao’s name, she felt unwell. Her first reaction was Chu Tiankuo because after all, Chu Tiankuo would appear every time. Certainly, she fervently hoped that he would not appear this time but he still appeared.

She should have thought about this kind of thing a long time ago. Actually, she already thought of it, but in her heart, she did not dare to believe it.

However… Tang Xia looked up at Chu Tiankuo, and examined his face carefully for a moment. This guy’s face did not resemble Chu Tianjiao at all.

Oh, right. Chu Tianjiao was a child whom the Chu family adopted to help the eldest young master to kill time. This dude was the real master whom that twisted handsome youth served — the real eldest young master of the Chu family.

So he was that twisted eldest young master.

Just when Tang Xia was despising Chu Tiankuo in her heart, Chu Tiankuo reacted. As if he could tell that she was grumbling about him in her heart, he raised his eyebrows and pinched her chin.

Tang Xia was shocked by his actions and forgot to react. She was forced to look into his eyes and just when she was about to slap his hand away, Chu Tiankuo suddenly smiled at her.

“Woman, long time no see. Shouldn’t you be missing me?”

Tang Xia looked at his seductive, incubus-like gaze and his slightly upturned lips. She only felt that this guy could not be any worse than that twisted, handsome youth Chu Tianjiao. They were both homme fatales!

Tang Xia subconsciously wanted to break free of him, and Chu Tiankuo expressed his displeasure at her resistance.

“Couldn’t this guy be more normal and stop being so physical?”

They actually did get along very harmoniously, especially at that moment. There was always an inexplicable gap between them, and Tang Xia found him slightly repulsive, deep in her heart.

Chu Tiankuo frowned and snorted coolly, “Do you want me to send you back to the Garden of Eden?!
