Ahri tried desperately to inhale because the Witch Gardener said inhaling could end the process, but she couldn't do it at all.
It was as if her neck was tightly wrapped by an invisible rope. Her throat was tightly strangled and she couldn't breathe. It felt like she was being poured poison gas.
Her vision began to dim, but she continued to breathe desperately until she felt like her lungs were about to explode.
Ahri's knees were weak, her body was limp, and she fell into Reed's arms. The snow lily in her hand was taken away by Reed, and she finally had the power to breathe freely again.
"Alas~"
The witch gardener sighed, took back the snow lily, and stopped the snow lily from rushing towards Ah Li.
"Cough cough cough!!!"
Ahri gasped violently, and then coughed several times. She almost thought she was going to die just now. The feeling of suffocation was so strong that it made her heart palpitate.
"Ahri...are you okay?"
Reed's figure has just grown bigger so that Ahri can collapse in his arms and the scene will not be so strange.
Ah Li trembled, her expression was in disbelief. She seemed unable to believe the sound she just heard. She thought she was still immersed in the memories of the past.
Holding Arijiao's boneless body, Reed felt mixed emotions in his heart. If he was still a little angry at the beginning, and derived some decisiveness from it, now all he has left in his heart is heartache.
Already.
This silly fox obviously came to forget everything, but when things came to pass, it desperately wanted to protect those memories. It was obvious that the "Forgetful Flower" had begun to absorb those memories, but she stopped everything abruptly.
.
Reed has clearly seen the depth of Ahri's affection, and the more this happens, the more he doesn't know how to face this feeling. He still can't get around it, and he still can't change his mentality.
This is not simple.
Ahri's furry ears twitched, and her nine tails twisted restlessly, which undoubtedly showed the uneasiness in her heart. At this time, she had realized that the man she just wanted to forget was here.
.
Ahri is a little timid and worried. How will Reed feel about her behavior? Will he be very angry?
"Why...are you so stupid...I don't remember teaching you this...Escape is never the way to solve a problem..."
Reed's words reached Ahri's ears from behind, causing Ahri's eyes to turn red instantly, and a few crystal tears slid down her skin as smooth as jade.
Ahri turned to look at Reed, the affection in her eyes could not be concealed, and her red-rimmed eyes and pear blossoms made Reed feel more distressed.
Ah Li's face is naturally extremely beautiful. Her eyebrows, eyes, nose, mouth, face shape, and bones are all perfect. Moreover, she is also born with the ability to charm all living beings. Her charm is revealed with every glance and smile, and ordinary people have no resistance.
ability.
Her early experience of hunting with ice foxes in the wilderness filled her character with a wild and predatory instinct. Although under Reed's guidance, she gradually understood how to rein in her wild nature.
But her character is also extremely independent and strong.
Even Reed rarely saw Ahri cry like this, so he could understand how wronged the girl in front of him felt.
"Woo~"
Ahri whimpered and lay on Reed's chest. She didn't know how to face Reed, didn't know how to explain her behavior, and she couldn't explain it either.
The witch gardener shook her head helplessly and left under the cloud fruit tree. She was deeply moved by the fox's deep affection for being able to interrupt the "Forgetful Flower"'s absorption of memories. She also felt deeply about the relationship between Reed and the fox.
Difficult.
She was not worried that the unwilling "Wangyouhua" would hurt Ah Li, because with Reed here, no one or anything could hurt the fox, except Reed himself.
"What should I do?"
Holding Ahri in his arms, Reed was at a loss. He was really at a loss for such a strong feeling. In his extremely long life, he had met many women, but this was the first one like Ahri.
indivual.
After hearing Reed's question, Ahri finally raised her head. There were tears on her endearing face, but the stubbornness in her eyes did not diminish at all.
"Treat me like a woman."
There was some lingering resentment in Ah Li's words, but this resentment was not for Reed, but for fate. It was fate that put her and him in this embarrassing situation.
Reed's expression was a bit awkward. Just as he was about to say something, Ahri stretched out a finger and put it on his lips, stopping him from speaking.
"I always listened to you before, now it's time to listen to me this time."
Although Ah Li was still in tears, the wildness and strength of her character were clearly revealed.
"You know... when I was little... in the dojo, what was the thing I wished for most to happen?"
Ahri's eyes were sparkling with brilliance, making it difficult for Reed to look directly at him, but Ahri didn't wait for his answer, but gave the answer directly herself.
"What I hope most is that I can grow up quickly and you can grow old slowly, so that I can catch up with you."
At that time, Ahri didn't know that Reed had transcended the shackles of time, and she didn't know that she herself had a long life. That's why she had such a clear heart, which made Reed couldn't help but feel moved after hearing it.
Moving.
He really didn't expect that Ahri had hidden this feeling in his heart for a long time. This made it seem like he had always been like a wooden person, always treating Ahri's feelings with that attitude. It turned out that he was always wrong.
meaning.
Every move Ahri makes has a natural charm. Even if it is an unintentional move, it will attract countless coveted eyes and make people crazy about it.
Naturally, Reed cannot be excluded. After all, he is still a human being in nature, and his aesthetics and love outlook are still normal, but his willpower is enough to resist Ahri's charm, and he will not let himself lose his temper.
Perhaps it was precisely because of this that Reed was able to maintain a calm attitude when facing Ahri, so much so that he regarded the affection shown by Ahri as a charm and forced himself to
Ignore.
He was able to treat Ahri like a daughter, all because of his extraordinary willpower. After all, he was a man who could resist the temptation of the "World Rune".
Over the past hundred years, Reed has persevered with determination, but one can imagine the grievances accumulated in Ahri's heart.
