Chapter 357 Under attack
Amid the endless gunfire, Ye Lei knew very well and seemed to hear only the sound of Chu Haoxuan shooting. As Chu Haoxuan didn't finish a magazine and replaced it again, Ye Lei would be tightly protected by Chu Haoxuan, as if she would be hit if she didn't do this.
Before Ye Lei could react, her body was knocked down and then rolled again. When she stopped, she did not hear Chu Haoxuan's voice, and Ye Lei was immediately panicked...
"Um--"
A light and inaudible sound came into his ears, undoubtedly like the most exciting voice to Ye Lei.
"How are you?" He broke free from Chu Haoxuan's arms and looked down at the people around him anxiously.
Chu Haoxuan opened his eyes, his face covered in blood. Every time he acted as a meat pad at the end, he was not worried that he would press Ye Lei.
I reached out to stroke Ye Lei's face, and saw that it was nothing wrong when I looked at her appearance. I felt much more at ease. The corners of my lips couldn't help but raise a curve. Although it was so difficult, I said softly: "Do you feel any pain?"
She obviously suffered such a serious injury but cared about her. Ye Lei wanted to cry for a moment. How could she be injured if she was protected so well? It was just a scratch.
Chu Haoxuan's entire right arm was soaked with bright red, which looked so shocking. Even if he couldn't see the dazzling bright red, Ye Lei knew that it was because of the serious injury.
"I'm fine, it doesn't hurt at all--" When Ye Lei answered, his hands trembled and cautiously wanted to touch Chu Haoxuan's bloody arm, but when he was about to touch it, he stopped in mid-air.
Ye Lei asked in a hoarse voice: "Does it hurt?"
It hurts? Of course, why doesn’t it hurt? But for some reason, when I saw Ye Lei safe and sound, Chu Haoxuan felt that it didn’t seem that pain, as if it was not the one who was hurt.
When I did it, it inevitably affected the wound, but it was only a moment of stiffness and then calm down, and it seemed that it was really okay.
Just as he wanted to wipe Ye Lei's tears with his hands, his movement stopped in the air, and then he glanced coldly behind Ye Lei.
Didn't notice Chu Haoxuan's words, Ye Lei felt unbearable sadness. Looking at Chu Haoxuan's wounds of different sizes, it seemed like he felt empathy, and the pain was endless all over his body, especially his chest, which was unbearable.
It was not until the gunshot sounded in his ear that Ye Lei came to his senses. He was stunned for a long time before he realized it. He slowly turned to Chu Haoxuan's left arm that he raised at some point when he was lifting. In his hand was a black pistol, and a wisp of smoke was still coming out of the muzzle. Turning back further, he saw a figure falling not far away...
Ye Lei stared at the fallen person not far away, as if she had forgotten to breathe. The world without color suddenly became dark, and a warm object was stuck behind her.
"Don't look."
Chu Haoxuan's breath gently hit Ye Lei's face. Although it was not the first time, Chu Haoxuan still subconsciously covered Ye Lei's eyes, as if these cruel and bloody scenes should not appear in her sight.
It is indeed not the first time I saw it, and compared to this time, when I was held hostage by Qin Ruoxi, the scene still fresh in Ye Lei's memory. However, Ye Lei has been very calm so far because he has not been affected at all? Of course not, it was just that Ye Lei subconsciously closed the memory of that time, not to mention that Chu Haoxuan, who was covered in blood, had already taken away all her attention. What happened in front of him seemed to have made Ye Lei return to that time. The difference is that she was not held hostage, but still could not change the fact that she was a burden.
Feeling the warm and moist touch under his palm, Chu Haoxuan knew that this scene would have had a significant impact on Ye Lei. Although it seemed that it did not bring any changes to Ye Lei at all, he had never put down his vigilance and was always careful in secret to people to monitor him. Not to mention Ye Lei, if it were anyone who watched the scene where blood flowed into a river and corpses were everywhere, would leave a shadow? Ye Lei had not changed so far, it does not mean that she was really not affected.
Chu Haoxuan knew that when facing certain cruel things, some people would subconsciously close their hearts and close their memories at that moment. To put it simply, it is self-protection consciousness. I am afraid that Ye Lei himself did not notice it? But this is just a moment. Chu Haoxuan knew that normal people would not really forget it. Just waiting for an opportunity to appear, and anyone would be unable to bear the sudden burst of memories, right? Such a bloody and cruel scene. What's more, it's a killer, and it will have some impact on the first killing. How could Ye Lei be safe?
Gently embraced Ye Lei in his arms, pressed her head on his shoulders, and comforted him softly: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Fear? Why not?
Ye Lei felt like she was standing in the snow and ice. The cold wind was urinating, her whole body could not stop trembling, and her heart was frozen bit by bit.
Kissing Ye Lei's hair, hugging her tightly, trying to convey her own warmth to her. At this moment, Chu Haoxuan forgot their situation and just comforted the person in his arms: "It's okay, don't be afraid, it's okay..."
Chu Haoxuan kept repeating the same words, as if doing so could calm down the trembling body of the person in his arms. In fact, he could not think of any other better way.
I don’t know how long it took, maybe a long time, but in fact it only took a few minutes. Ye Lei suppressed the soreness in her throat and forced the tears back into her eyes. She did not forget their current situation. After all, the strong bloody smell on Chu Haoxuan reminded her all the time.
Chu Haoxuan was surprised by this, but he was good at controlling his emotions and did not show this. He was just as Ye Lei broke free from his arms and helped him up with difficulty.
Meeting Chu Haoxuan's surprised gaze, Ye Lei curled the curve of the corner of his lips and said, "Let's go home-"
One sentence made Chu Haoxuan feel like bathing in the warm sunshine, and his whole body was warm.
"Well, go home..." Chu Haoxuan couldn't help but smile with a light smile, as gentle as water.
Of course, Ye Lei didn't know where the way home was, and she only knew that she couldn't stop. Once she stopped, she would be caught up. Therefore, in addition to walking forward, Ye Lei didn't know where to go. At the same time, she also had to support Chu Haoxuan. After Chu Haoxuan stood up, she realized that compared to her bloody right arm, Chu Haoxuan's right foot injury was not much worse. Ye Lei did not doubt whether the foot had lost its consciousness.
Compared to Chu Haoxuan's ability to carry himself to run, the force that Chu Haoxuan pressed on him at this moment was so obvious. The height and weight difference between the two were very big. Ye Lei knew that Chu Haoxuan did not put all the force on her, but even so, she struggled, not to mention that her feet were injured.
