Looking at her pale, dazed and frightened expression, he was suffering from huge pain in his heart, biting away at his heart bit by bit, slowing down his heart, so that his deep voice was so hoarse that it was almost nasal.【
@】
My eyes became blurry unconsciously.
Frustration and powerlessness gnawed at his heart bit by bit.
Why, why, why did he leave, why didn't he agree to her request to accompany her before, why couldn't he find her quickly, why couldn't he...protect her properly???
Why did she suffer such a horrific experience? Why...
It was as if I could feel his affection, his distress, his comfort...
Ke'er's frightened and distracted eyes gradually gathered a little bit of consciousness.
Fragilely, she slowly stared at him like a frightened bird. With her tear-streaked eyes, she slowly saw his face clearly.
The familiar handsome face gradually reflected in her pupils and entered her soul.
It was as if a faint light suddenly appeared in the darkness, calming her fear a little.
"Aochen night... night..."
Ao Chenye...
She looked into his eyes, searching with dependence, and caught the deep tenderness, reluctance, and pity in his eyes...
He was really Ao Chenye, the one who would hug her to sleep with her every night and kiss her when she woke up.
That Ao Chenye who always loves to tease her but never makes her angry...
She blinked her eyes cautiously, fearing that what she saw before her was just a phantom.
However, the next moment she thought of something and immediately lowered her eyes, not daring to look at him, and hurriedly and embarrassedly wrapped her open clothes around her body with trembling hands.
"Don't...don't look at me...don't..."
Although nothing happened at the last critical moment, but...
The bruises on her chest that could not be concealed were the most embarrassing evidence for her, evidence that could not be eliminated. The great shame made her unable to have the courage to raise her head.
Looking at her movements, Ao Chenye's handsome face was filled with pain and reluctance.
I took a deep breath and managed to suppress the burning pain in my chest, allowing my voice to speak normally.
"Be good... I won't look at you, I won't look at you..." He suppressed the sobs in his throat, coaxed softly, got closer to her little by little, and put his coat on her body.
Then, very carefully, he wrapped his arms around her floating body, and hugged her tightly little by little.
In his arms, she was still stiff and trembling uncontrollably.
After a long time, maybe I recognized his familiar embrace, maybe I recognized his familiar breath, maybe... I finally knew that he could be relied on.
She finally hugged him with her back, and cried in grievance. With deep fear and venting, she cried until the sky was dark...
The white little hands grabbed his front tightly, as if catching the last glimmer of hope at the moment before his life burned out. His quivering and pale lips, his muddy and blood-red eyes, revealed endless desolation and sadness...
It seems like a century has passed.
A breath of reassurance and a warm embrace surrounded her, and she seemed to gradually calm down in his arms.
But he couldn't calm down, couldn't calm down...
I can only suppress it deliberately...
"Ke'er, come... let's, let's go home... okay?" His usual deep voice was still hoarse and low now.
Home?
The palace! That place full of conspiracy...
His words seemed to deeply stimulate her again. She pushed him away hastily, shaking her head and stepping back step by step, "Don't... don't... I don't want to go back, don't go back there, there is...
have……"
Perhaps she was over-stimulated and her thinking was not very clear, and she instinctively resisted going back to the place where the nightmare originated.
She doesn't want to be kidnapped again, she doesn't want to... go back and see Princess Yang Xi, she doesn't want to see... them.
Absolutely no going back...no...
"No, don't go back..." She murmured unconsciously. In the dark night where she couldn't see clearly, her red eyes were full of fear and uneasiness.
Her fearful look was seen in his eyes. At that moment, he felt as if someone had pinched his throat. He felt that the air around him was getting thinner and thinner, and his heart was so painful that he couldn't breathe.
He closed his eyes and took deep breaths, once... twice... three times...
After a long time, he slowly opened his eyes, and his handsome face was covered with a soothing smile, gentle enough to make water drop, just for her.
"Okay... we won't go back... we won't go back..." He held back the liquid that was about to burst out of his eyes, coaxed her gently, and cautiously approached her again.
His Ke'er was so afraid of returning to his palace. In the center of his power, he actually... didn't make her feel safe.
She was still stiff, her eyes were dull, neither sad nor hurt, neither surprised nor shocked...
She held him in his warm arms again and nodded unconsciously.
"Well, I won't go back..." She murmured dreamily, then leaned weakly in his arms, clinging to him as if he was her only life-saving straw, drooping in a daze.
His eyes have obviously fallen into the weakness of emptiness.
Ao Chenye carefully and protectively hugged Ke'er and quickly left the dark forest that frightened her.
Golden light swept across the sky, and in the blink of an eye, they disappeared at the end of the darkness.
…
Ao Chenye held Ke'er in his arms and flew towards the Divine Pond.
Along the way, the dark night covered by snowflakes seemed a bit cold in the dark night, and the cold wind also whistled by my ears.
Ke'er curled up in his arms, beside her ears, besides the terrifying wind, there was also his steady and powerful heartbeat.
The body temperature he continuously transferred to her warmed her cold skin, and the warmth penetrated into her heart.
The fearful heart was driven away bit by bit by him.
Soon, they came to the Crystal Palace beside the Divine Pond.
Ke'er's eyes slowly looked at this room, this room full of happiness.
Not long ago, they had beautiful memories here, a burning nostalgia that made her eyes turn slightly red.
Ao Chenye didn't know what she was thinking. He just carefully put her on the bed and then wanted to leave to ask the maid to bring her clothes so that she could change out of her wet clothes. However, his footsteps moved.
, she grabbed the sleeves tightly.
He looked sideways at her, seeing the panic and fragility in her eyes, as if she was afraid of being left behind, as if he was the only one in the world that she could rely on.
Such loneliness and vulnerability struck straight into his heart.
My heart just feels a pinch and hurts.
"Ao Chenye, don't leave me, don't..." She almost begged, choking slightly, looking at him closely with tear-red eyes.
The hand holding his sleeve became tighter and tighter, for fear that if he let go, he would disappear before his eyes.
Don't go back into that horrible obscene darkness again, don't...
In her heart, the feeling of fear suddenly came up again as he was about to walk away, forcing her to fall into fear.
Ao Chenye took a deep breath, barely suppressing the lump in his throat.
He sat down on the edge of the bed, took her slightly trembling hand with his back, and held it tightly.
Warm black eyes locked her firmly, making her feel his real existence.
"Ke'er, don't be afraid, I'm here, I'm not going anywhere, I'm just here with you."
Looking into his warm eyes, she smiled innocently and weakly, took his big hand and put it against her cold cheek with nostalgia.
He narrowed his eyes slightly and murmured dreamily: "Okay, then don't leave, don't leave..."
Seeing her gradually regaining her composure, with such a fragile body, Ao Chenye felt so distressed that he was about to bleed.
She really didn't want to disturb her after finally regaining her composure, but the wet clothes on her body needed to be changed as soon as possible, otherwise she would easily get cold.
So, he gently put his hands on her shoulders, using the warmth of his palms to warm her coldness.
"Ke'er, can I ask the maid to change your clothes?"
He spoke softly, his voice so soft it could drip from his eyes, just so as not to disturb her.
Although they had been honest with each other countless times, but in her current state, he was afraid that if he changed her clothes, she would arouse her fear of "men" again.
When I heard that he was leaving, Ke'er's head suddenly felt blank.
Instinctively, she shook her head violently, and her face became as pale as paper.
"No, don't go, Ao Chenye, don't leave me..."
She sobbed helplessly, threw herself into his arms, hugged his waist tightly, and refused to let go.
Her face rubbed against his chest, and her delicate body pressed tightly against him: "I don't want anyone else to change clothes, I just want you, I just want you..."
She reached out consciously, pulled up his big hand, and covered it on the soft curves of her chest.
Touching her softness, the touch that exuded fatal temptation, Ao Chenye's heartstrings made a loud "thumping" sound, and his mind suddenly became hot.
"Little cutie, you..."
He just wanted to remind her not to tempt him.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened his mouth, her lips already covered his lips, making it impossible for him to finish his words.
Ke'er looked at him pitifully and pressed her lips against his, but didn't dare to kiss him.
At this moment, she felt so dirty. Did he... feel the same way?
Eagerly, wanting him to prove something, her voice was fragile and hoarse: "Ao Chenye, I don't want to be touched by others. I only want you. Do you... still want me?"
Ao Chenye looked at the retreat in her eyes that was almost inferior to her with distress, and kissed her lips gently without any trace of dislike.
"Oh, little cutie, don't think like that, you will make me... feel so distressed."
Hearing this, she almost cried with joy.
She put her hands around his neck and leaned close to him.
"Thank you, thank you... Ao Chenye, I... I want you, is that okay?"
The deep fear made it impossible for her to think of any reserve anymore.
She wholeheartedly wanted to destroy the marks on her body that did not belong to him, and only his marks were allowed to remain on her body.
Ao Chenye saw this and tried hard to endure the rush of heat caused by her soft body pressing against him, forcing his hands to move away from the softness of her chest.
I don't want to take advantage of her when she is most vulnerable. That would be unfair to her. Maybe she doesn't even know what she is doing.
So, he suppressed his inner desire, clenched his hands into fists, and then released them.
He tried hard to restrain his body's reaction and forced himself to reach out and push her away.
"Ke'er, your clothes are wet. You need to change them quickly, otherwise you will catch a cold..."
She was tied up in the suburbs. The cold snow water not only wet her clothes, but also made her body as cold as ice.
However, before he finished speaking, she suddenly picked up his hand and placed it on her skirt...
