into the bosom

Chapter 31

The girl rested her chin in one hand and weighed the wine bag in the other hand, but she hadn't drank for a while, her eyes were half-closed, and she seemed to be falling asleep in a while.

He Lianshu's star-like pupils flickered in the night, and he asked in a flat tone, "Isn't the maiden name of Princess Mingyue Xu Jiao? Jiao...were you born on a night when there was a bright moon in the sky?"

Xu Jiao didn't answer, but turned to look at him instead, "Then Mr. Helian only named 'Forgive', so he couldn't be the one who was born to forgive someone, right?"

He Lianshu's eyes suddenly sharpened, and when his sharp blade-like eyes swept towards Xu Jiao, he saw her holding her face and giggling at him, her eyes were already blurred with drunkenness.

"Ashu...Ashu!" The young girl's voice was originally as sweet as a spring's spring, but now it's a little bit drunk, and it's even more delicate like a spring flower. His name was whispered out by her, as if rubbed into it. The indescribable affection made his heart tremble.

"They all call you Ashu, which sounds nice... better than Mr. Helian! Shu... is actually a good word. If you have less hatred for this world and more forgiveness, wouldn't it be more beautiful to live? Taste..." Her voice gradually weakened, her eyelids drooped heavily, and the hand that was originally supporting her chin was loosened—the whole person fell down.

When He Lianshu's brain came to his senses, his palms sank——

His hands had stretched out before his consciousness, taking over her slipped hand, holding her face in his palms...

Her tender cheeks were just attached to his palm, soft and moist, and her little face stained red by alcohol was like a flower, and it was in full bloom in the palm.

He Lianshu lowered his eyes and was about to let go, but Xu Jiao grunted, rubbed his small face against his palm twice, he froze, and after a while, finally let go, but Knees passed.

She pillowed on his lap, arched twice, found a comfortable position, stopped moving, and fell into a deep sleep.

But he looked down at her, his eyes were dark, destined to be sleepless.

In the middle of the night, I leaned against the wall and barely closed my eyes.

When the whimpering sound like a wounded little animal reached his ears, he suddenly opened his eyes in the dark night, and he didn't need to look specifically, he knew where the sound came from.

Xu Jiao had a dream, it was just a dream, but it was still a reflection of reality, tragic and sad.

She was wrapped in his dark robe, her whole body was buried in it, she looked thinner and paler, she slept very unsteadily, tossing and turning, her face was covered in cold sweat, and her mouth was raving indistinctly "I don't want to be here, I want to go home...I want to go home...wait for me! wait for me!"

The babbling was mixed with sobs, and a ray of crystal slipped from the corner of her eyes——

He Lianshu frowned, Xu Jiao struggled in a daze in his sleep, he restrained her with one hand, raised his hand to touch her forehead, the tentacles were hot, he sighed deeply, it really felt hot!
It was dawn, and the chirping of birds gradually filled the ears. Xu Jiao frowned uncomfortably in his sleep, and finally slowly opened his eyes.

As soon as she moved, something slipped from her forehead.She lowered her head in a daze and picked up the bundle of cloth towels.

Still in a daze, the crumbling door was gently pushed open with a "squeak", "Are you awake?"

He Lianshu's cold voice sounded slowly, and as he was talking, he had already walked in, met Xu Jiao's eyes looking up at him, his hand hanging by his side moved, and finally curled into a fist, did he stretch out? , "Second Lady had a fever last night, how do you feel now?"

Xu Jiao pinched the cloth strip in his hands and nodded, but his eyes looked at the faint black shadow in front of He Lianshu's eyes, and the light in his eyes flowed, "I feel much better now, thank you, Mr. Helian."

"That's good, are you hungry? Come out and eat something!" He Lianshu said, turned around, and strode out the door.

The narrow door frame was almost occupied by him, and the sky darkened in an instant, making his tall and majestic figure even more apparent.

Xu Jiao smiled, and tucked the cloth in his hand into his cuff.

After leaving the door, He Lianshu handed her a few wild fruits, "Let's eat as soon as we can, and when we meet up with Su Le and the others, we will have some hot food to eat."

Xu Jiao used to follow teachers and classmates to collect folk songs everywhere, and also endured a lot of hardships, so he took the fruit without saying a word and started to eat it.

Slightly astringent, but not unpalatable.

"Is the person chasing us still around this forest?"

"I can't be sure, but it's better to be cautious, just in case."

Xu Jiao nodded, and stopped asking other questions, and went to gnawing her wild fruit, with a heartless look of trusting him completely.

Seeing her like this, He Lianshu explained to her out of nowhere, "I just sent news to Su Le. If there is no accident, they will come to join us in a while."

Xu Jiao blinked, curious, "Accident? What kind of accident?"

He Lianshu paused, gnawed a sour wild fruit silently, and then said, "Last night, just in case, I asked Su Le to lead people to intercept and kill the pursuers in the middle of the road."

Xu Jiao's heart trembled, but he wasn't surprised at all, this was his style.No wonder he was alone last night.

"However, those pursuers later..."

"That's why we're here now." He Lianshu's black eyes were bottomless, and he turned to look at her.

Xu Jiao was silenced by those eyes. Su Le and the others have no news at the moment, it's best if nothing happens. If something happens, even though he arranged it, it's because of her. She, she still prays that Su Le and the others are all safe!
I don't know if God heard Xu Jiao's prayer, but a sharp whistle suddenly sounded in the distant forest.

The sound was a bit strange, it was said to be a whistle, but it was more like the scream of an animal.

But when He Lianshu heard it, his eyes lit up.He took out an object from his bosom, brought it to his lips and blew hard, and the sound came out.The sound of the whistle changes a little, from long to short, which is similar to the Morse code, and it should be used to transmit messages.

Sure enough, after the whistle blew, Helian Shu turned to her and said, "It's Su Le and the others. They're fine, and they'll be here soon."

He was... laughing?
But this smile was completely different from the one that frightened her.This smile penetrated into the depths of the pupils bit by bit, it was a genuine smile from the heart.

So, it doesn't make people feel the slightest bit of fear.Moreover, I don't know if it was because of the pouring sunlight that she had an illusion in a trance, it seemed that his eyes still had the color of bright gold.When he was about to take a closer look, the brilliance disappeared in his eyes along with his smile.

It turned out that it was He Lianshu who smiled, squinting his eyes and looked at Xu Jiao who was stunned by him.

Xu Jiao came to his senses in a jerk, and while warning himself that there was a knife on his head, he smiled sweetly at him heartlessly.
