The male protagonist is blackening: Raiders, please be careful

Chapter 111 The Empire and the Rose (27)
Seeing this expression, the man unconsciously hugged her even tighter.

"Ugh..."

He used too much force and touched the wound on Bai Feifei's right arm──
"It's okay?" The man pulled Bai Feifei's arm in confirmation, and the beard rubbed against her face...

"It's okay." Still not used to making intimate physical contact with people, Bai Feifei withdrew his hand.

As if feeling the stiffness of the person in his arms, the man relaxed a little...

"Aren't you going to ask me where I'm going?"

asked the man, flicking the reins of the camel.

Where to go?

Bai Feifei blankly repeated in his mind what the man had just asked──
For me... isn't it the same wherever I go?
Covering his forehead with his left hand, he looked up at the sun.

The dazzling brilliance makes it hard to stare at—even if you squint your eyes, it still feels dazzling!
Well...there is the East...

Wait - is this the way to the West? !

"We're going to Damascus - before the Assyrians come -"

The man said so.

——————————————————————————————————————

There is such a record in ancient Arabic books: "If there is a heaven on earth, Damascus must be in it; if the heaven is in space, Damascus must be as famous as it."

Bai Feifei has never been to Damascus, but he can know a little bit from the information... The beautiful "Paradise" is located at the foot of the majestic Kexin Mountain, across the banks of the Barada River, the Awash River flows through the suburbs, and the waterways inside and outside the city Vertical and horizontal, sparkling... Rows of poplar trees are tall and straight on both sides of the river, and the city is surrounded by green grass and fragrant flowers, and thousands of trees are competing for beauty.The chic and elegant white houses and mosques in the urban area are hidden in the greenery. Whenever the sun sets, the afterglow of the setting sun dyes the whole city into a golden yellow. Shouts of prayer, the whole city is filled with a strong religious atmosphere... The long history has left Damascus with magical legends and numerous monuments, and the unique natural environment makes it full of vitality and prosperity.

I didn't expect to go to this place called "paradise on earth" in such a distressed situation...

This really made her a little dumbfounded──
"Are you uncomfortable?" The man who had been waiting by her side when she was crossing the Syrian desert, saw Bai Feifei's expression, and asked in a low voice in her ear.

The breath fell on the sensitive neck as if on purpose.

"No."

Bai Feifei felt uncomfortable, his face seemed to be a little hot, he shrank his neck, and kept a short distance away from the man with his arms propped up.

However, because they are riding the same camel, their bodies still touch each other from time to time.

The man circled his arms, and pulled her into his arms again. This kind of physical contact made Bai Feifei tense his muscles—
Not caring about Bai Feifei's awkwardness, the man laughed again.

He rested his head on Bai Feifei's stiff shoulder──
"Look—"

Bai Feifei followed the direction he was pointing at and looked around──It was full of flowers──
The city is actually flooded by a sea of ​​flowers? !

I remember that the ancient name of Syria was called "Suriston", which means "Land of Roses".

So those flowers are roses?
Perhaps more than 1000 years later, it was this moving and beautiful scenery that made Muhammad say: Damascus is a paradise on earth...

"You laughed..." the man said suddenly.

"Huh?" Bai Feifei was confused.

"I laughed... just now." The man rubbed his forehead against Bai Feifei's silver hair twice, and murmured—
I laughed?
totally unconscious...

It seems that after coming to this era, Bai Feifei seems to be accompanied by panic and suffocation──so she has never had the opportunity to show her face and smile──
Can she... still laugh?

Taking a deep breath, exhaling again——
She wanted to live - whether it was in Nineveh - or Damascus!

The desire has never been stronger than it is now.

Bai Feifei didn't notice it when he was in a trance... the arms around her waist were tightened even more...
