loving you carefully

Chapter 11 When you are sure that you like him, some words will become particularly hurtful

On the first day of the holiday, Li Runcheng originally wanted to ask Lin Naixue out to play, but after calling many times, her mobile phone was turned off.At this time, he looked at the wall clock on the wall, and the hour hand was pointing to eight o'clock in the evening.

He picked up the mobile phone on the table again and pressed the redial button, but not long after, a sweet voice came from the phone: "Sorry, the user you dialed has turned off, please dial later..."

He couldn't help frowning, and muttered to himself: "I made an agreement with her when we parted last night, and sent me a message when I got home, but she didn't contact me until very late, I thought she forgot , but today she keeps turning off the phone again, what's going on?"

After listening to his words, Li's mother, who was sitting on the sidelines watching TV, asked curiously, "Chengcheng, are you calling your girlfriend? Can you tell mom which family the girl is from?"

"Mom, where are you thinking?"

Li Runcheng replied to his mother's words in embarrassment, looked up to see her encouraging and honest eyes, thought that there had never been a little secret between himself and his mother, and felt that he should not hide anything from her.

So he smiled softly and said: "Actually, I just want to protect her, because I have never seen a girl like her. She looks very strong, and there seems to be a warm flame burning in her eyes forever, always able to Warm everyone around her with a smile. So, I really want to protect her."

Li's mother nodded after listening to his words, patted his hand and said: "This is very good, it seems that my city has grown up."

Li Runcheng smiled at her, grateful for her mother's trust.

However, Lin Naixue couldn't get through on the phone, which made him very anxious.He vaguely had a bad premonition, but there was nothing he could do about it.

Seeing that he seemed worried, Mama Li comforted him and said, "Chengcheng, you don't have to worry too much. She may have gone out with her family and forgot to bring her mobile phone."

Li Runcheng forced a smile and nodded: "Yeah."

But he was still very uneasy.

The night sky outside the window was pitch black, as if there were thick dark clouds, there was no moon and no stars could be seen.

He looked across the half-drawn curtains at the dark night sky, and asked silently in his heart: Nayuki, why don't you turn on your phone?
The eastern sky gradually turned pale.

Thin mist lingered among the treetops outside the window, and the surroundings were very quiet.Lin Naixue stared blankly at the beautiful scenery of the mountains and forests outside the window, her mood fluctuated with the cheerful calls of the birds.

She has already spent a day and a night here, and she doesn't know how this matter will end. Do mom and dad really have no doubt at all?
Just when she was thinking about what to do next, Lei Yilie's voice that was so cold that there was almost no warmth floated into her ears unhurriedly: "Since you are awake, get up and do things quickly, I am not Please come here to see the scenery."

Lin Naixue turned around and took a look at him. Standing against the backlight, he was still as handsome as an angel. The rising sun seemed to be shining so beautifully because of him, casting a layer of mysterious halo on him. .

But his eyes and expression are so indifferent, it makes people feel cold.

It appears that he has changed back again.

She bent her lips in a self-deprecating manner, and said in her heart: I know, I knew he would change back again, and there is no way our relationship can change.

Lei Yilie thought she would say some words of resistance, but he didn't expect that she just glanced at him quietly and then looked away, which made him feel inexplicably flustered.

He deliberately pushed her to the kitchen very hard, pointed to some food materials randomly placed on the kitchen table, and said bluntly: "These are what you have to do, I want to eat pork ribs with sauce, curry potatoes, peppers Silken fermented bean curd and green vegetables...the rice is best served with rice, if it’s worse than yesterday’s, don’t even think about eating today.”

Lin Naixue looked at the few materials and heard him report a list of dish names. She really wanted to interrupt him and say: Are you an idiot?How can I make so many dishes with so few ingredients?

But in the end she held back, she knew that Lei Yilie was deliberately trying to embarrass her.

She endured it until he finished speaking, and then she said "yes" as if she didn't care, and started to make breakfast with simple ingredients.

Seeing her obedient and busy figure, Lei Yilie was completely stunned.

Did she do it on purpose?Show him a cold face on purpose.

Throughout the morning, Lei Yilie's face was very gloomy, looking like the eve of a storm.

And the sky outside seemed to be affected by his emotions, the sun was completely blocked by dark clouds, and the sky became more and more gloomy.

After eating, he collected some clothes and sheets from the room and threw them in front of Lin Naixue: "Here, go and wash these dirty things."

After he finished speaking, he looked straight at her, waiting for her to explode.

But to his surprise, Lin Naixue just bit her lip, then went out without saying a word, holding the dirty clothes and sheets.

A few minutes later, there was the sound of iron chains clashing in the yard and the sound of splashing water when stepping on the sheets, mixed with one or two short inhalation sounds from time to time.

Because the lodge uses water from a deep well, which is much cooler than the tap water in the city, it is a bit icy cold.I used to use a washing machine to wash clothes at home. Lin Naixue didn’t know how to do it at first. When she saw a big basin next to the well, she put all the clothes in it. The foot stomped hard.

"Hello!" Lei Yilie stayed in the room alone for a few minutes, then couldn't hold back and walked out. Seeing that Lin Naixue's feet were a little red, he felt a strange feeling in his heart, "Are you willing to give in now?" If so, I will show mercy and take you home."

"Really? Then put away your mercy! I will not bow to the devil!" Lin Naixue didn't even lift her head, and stepped on the bed sheet even harder.

"Okay! If that's the case, I'll satisfy you!" Two minutes later, Lei Yilie took out a large pile of sheets from the room and threw them beside the tub, and said coldly, "These should be washed too."

Looking at the sheets piled up like a hill, Lin Naixue took a breath in surprise, and finally couldn't help protesting: "There are so many, when will I finish washing, didn't you see it's going to rain? "

Lei Yilie looked straight at her and said, "As long as you promise not to move out and obey me obediently, I'll let you go. Otherwise, even if it's a hailstorm, you have to wash it."

"you!"

Lin Naixue really wanted to criticize him a few words, but thinking that there are only her and him here now, if he gets angry, she will be the one who will suffer in the end, so she had to take back what she said later.

Moreover, she actually regretted what she had hurt him before.Maybe the injury in his heart is much more serious than she imagined, but she has never seriously experienced and understood it.

Thinking of this, the anger in her heart dissipated a lot.

Lei Yilie did not go back to the house, but sat on a rocking chair under the eaves, leisurely flipping through a book.

Behind him is the mottled wall of the hut, surrounded by green forests, such a background plus a handsome young man with his head down reading a book, like a beautiful oil painting.

Lin Naixue inadvertently raised her hand to wipe her sweat and looked towards the hut. What she saw was such a beautiful picture, she couldn't look away for a while.

Lei Yilie seemed to feel her gaze, he raised his head slightly to meet her gaze, and his heart couldn't help beating twice irregularly——

He seemed to read something in her eyes that moved his heart, but he couldn't be sure.

However, even such a vague induction made him feel very happy.

He was very excited, but he curled his mouth and pretended not to care, and said sarcastically, "Why are you looking at me like that? I'm handsome, right? Are you fascinated by me?" Bar?"

Lin Naixue quickly looked away, and said in a panic, "Am I a fool? I won't be fascinated by people like you!"

"Hey, Lin Naixue!" Lei Yilie was a little annoyed because he didn't get the answer he wanted to hear, "Do you really like Li Runcheng?"

After hearing what he said, Lin Naixue bit her lips angrily, and said, "Yes, if I like it, I also like an excellent and gentle boy like Senior Runcheng. He is much better than you."

Lei Yilie's breath was stagnant, and the scene of Li Runcheng taking Naixue away appeared in front of his eyes, and his pretty eyebrows were slightly frowned.

He snorted very unhappy, and said coldly: "But he can't save you now!"

Lin Naixue didn't notice that his tone was a little different from usual, and while stepping on the bed sheet with her head down, she deliberately said sweetly: "It's okay, he can't contact me, he will definitely worry about me, that's enough."

Her words were like sparks flying into Lei Yilie's heart, igniting all the anger buried in his heart.

However, when he wanted to vent his anger, he couldn't find a good reason.

He looked at Lin Naixue with hatred, and saw that she had a happy smile on her face, he thought, she must be thinking about that nasty guy Li Runcheng right now?
He really wanted to throw the book in his hand and smash it on her face, smashing that smile that belonged to someone else on her face!

He shook the book in his hand, but in the end he didn't throw the book out - of course not because he was afraid of hurting her, but because he didn't want to damage his book, he explained to himself like this.

At this time, scattered raindrops began to fall from the sky, and the mountain wind seemed to become stronger, making the woods around the hut rattle.

A few drops of rain hit Lin Naixue's head and face. She raised her hand to wipe the rain from her face, and looked up to find that the opposite mountain forest had been covered by a rain curtain, and the dense rain curtain was approaching.

"It's really raining!"

She walked out of the tub while talking, put on her slippers and prepared to move the tub into the hut to shelter from the rain.

Lei Yilie was sulking, and shouted at her loudly without thinking: "Who told you to stop! I said that even if there is a hailstorm, you can only come in after washing, keep washing!"

"what?"

Lin Naixue looked at him incredulously, seeing his face that was even more gloomy than the sky, her heart felt cold.Although this was not the first time she felt his indifference, she still felt a pain in her heart.

He deliberately tortured her like this, just to force her to submit, but she just refused to bow her head.So she didn't say anything, took off her shoes and continued to walk into the tub and step on the sheets.

It was raining heavily, and the dense raindrops were blown by the mountain wind and hit her head, face, and body...

Soon, her clothes were drenched with rain.

The cold rain dripped down her long hair, taking away the heat from her body bit by bit.The rain curtain also blurred her vision, and the world in front of her was only gray.

Standing in the wind and rain, she felt like a fragile grass.But she still bit her lip tightly, refusing to show weakness.

Lei Yilie looked at the slender figure in the rain curtain from a distance, and couldn't help feeling angry and anxious.It was raining so hard, she would rather get in the rain than beg for mercy from him?
Angrily, he rushed into the rain and ran to her, and said loudly to her angrily, "Lin Naixue, are you an idiot? Do you really want to fight me to the end?"

Lin Naixue's consciousness had already begun to blur. Seeing him appearing and hearing his indifferent words, she moved her lips to say something, but felt the world spinning for a while, and she fainted when her eyes darkened.

Lei Yilie felt that something was wrong when he saw her frighteningly pale face before, but he didn't expect that she would faint.

He watched her fall in front of him, like a lifeless rag doll, lying limply on the ground, lifeless.

At that moment, he felt a string in his heart suddenly tense to the extreme, and then snapped.

He was suddenly flustered and somewhat at a loss.

After being dazed for a while, he squatted down and hugged her in his arms, shaking her helplessly, but his throat became dry and he couldn't utter a word.

The color of her lips was as pale as paper, and the rainwater gathered on the two rows of thick eyelashes along her forehead, and then trickled down the corners of her eyes, and fell into the puddles on the ground, as if it was not filled with rainwater , but her tears.

Her body was icy cold, and the coldness seemed to have penetrated into his heart, and his heart became completely cold, with a faint pain.

He hurriedly reached out his hand to smooth the messy hair on her forehead, but the place where he touched it was as hot as fire——she had a fever!
He quickly picked her up, rushed into the room as fast as he could, put her on the sofa, and then randomly pulled off all the blankets and pillows around him, wrapping her tightly, as if after getting warmer. She will be fine.

After doing this, he began to rummage around the medicine box in the house again, to see if there was any medicine that could reduce the fever.

When he found the emergency cold medicine in the medicine box and came back, he found that the wet clothes on her body had soaked the blanket wrapped around her body, the sofa was also soaked to a large extent, and her hair was still twitching. Drip down.

It seemed that he had to help her change out of her wet clothes.But now that she was unconscious, it was impossible for her to get up and take off her wet clothes. The only way was for him to help her take them off.

Thinking of this, Lei Yilie felt a little hot on his face, and his heartbeat seemed to be irregular.He looked at the unconscious Lin Naixue in embarrassment, hesitating in his heart, feeling inexplicably nervous.

After weighing it for a long time, he put down the medicine in his hand, carried her out of the wet blanket, put her on the small bed in the room, covered her with the quilt, and closed his eyes to minimize physical contact, carefully and slowly Slowly helped her take off her wet clothes.

Then, he wrapped her in a dry towel, and pulled the quilt over to cover her.After doing all this, he realized that he was so nervous that even the palms of his hands were dripping with sweat.

He looked at Lin Naixue nervously, and she seemed to be a little more comfortable, and her frown that had been tightly furrowed was slightly relaxed at this time.

Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief, turned around to boil hot water, and then came back to feed her medicine.

Perhaps it was the warm blanket and hot water that drove away the cold, and Lin Naixue, who was in a coma, began to have a vague consciousness.

She felt that someone was feeding her something, and when she took the medicine into her mouth, she realized that the medicine was very bitter, and subconsciously wanted to spit it out.

At this time, she heard a very gentle and pleasant voice saying in her ear: "Nayuki, don't vomit, you will get better if you eat it."

She remembered that she was sick when she was a child, and her mother always said: "Nayuki must be good, and the disease will be cured after taking the medicine."

"Mom..." She subconsciously grabbed Lei Yilie's hand.She misses the warmth of her mother very much. She is really happy and happy when her mother is there. She really hopes that her mother is still by her side, loving and caring for her.

She kept whispering: "Mom, don't go, don't leave Naixue...Mom...I really want to protect the new home, I want my father, new mother, and Yilie to be happy...I...I really want to I really want to see a happy smile on everyone's face... I really want to..."

Lei Yilie instinctively wanted to pull his hand back, but hearing her ravings, his heart softened inexplicably, and at the same time he was shocked.

It turned out that she thought so in her heart, she really wanted her mother and everyone to be happy.

But what about him?

He could see that his mother really liked them father and daughter.But he blindly resisted, never really thinking about his mother's happiness, nor did he make any effort for this new home.

He was just hurting her all the time, hurting this kind-hearted girl who made people feel distressed.

Seeing how uncomfortable and helpless she was now, he couldn't help but want to protect her and never let her suffer any harm.

He hesitated for a moment, but finally took her hand instead.For the first time, he discovered that her hand was so small that he could almost hold it completely.She looks so weak on the outside, but she has a strong heart.Is it because she really loves her father that so much power is hidden in her frail body?

He held her right hand with both hands guiltily, as if he wanted to pass on all his warmth to her, so that she could get well soon.

Lin Naixue seemed to sense his intentions, she opened her eyes uncomfortably, and saw Lei Yilie's blue eyes looking straight at her.In those eyes that were as pure as angels, there was a tenderness that she had never felt before.

Being looked at by him like this, she felt as if she owned the entire clear sky.And she is a carefree white cloud in the sky, embraced, cherished, and very happy.

She felt that she must be dreaming, because the Lei Yilie she knew would never look at her with such gentle eyes, even though his smile was as beautiful as an angel.

But she really likes Yilie like this now, so she stretched out her hand to gently caress his face, and couldn't help saying what she said in her heart: "Yilie, if you are really an angel, I will definitely be an angel." I like you."

She tried her best to keep her eyes open and looked at him, as if in this way he would always be by her side and never change back to the devil side.

However, she was really tired, and the deep fatigue soon swept over again, and she fell into a deep sleep again.

Lei Yilie was stunned, and the expression on his face gradually became bitter.

Angel?

Can a person with ugly scars become an angel?

Angels should refer to those who live in happiness forever, and their hearts are full of warmth and happiness. How could it be him?
Those heart-wrenching past events flooded over like a tide, drowning him almost instantly.

The lingering bloody images sealed in his memory made him feel suffocated and scared.Afraid of someone knowing that he had lived in such a world, afraid of pity and sympathy from others.

Therefore, he has never allowed others to get too close to him, and he has never been too deeply integrated into other people's worlds.

But Nayuki...

He held her hand and clenched it slightly, he clearly felt that his heart was so eager to get close to her, just because her beautiful maroon eyes hid the warmth that could make him feel happy.

Tonight was as quiet as ever.

The brilliant stars are still shrouded in the faint clouds, but they are working harder to bloom their charming light-maybe they already know that the haze and mist will soon dissipate, and tomorrow's sky will return to clear.

The next morning.

Lin Naixue opened her eyes in a daze, the sunlight coming in from the window was very glaring, she instinctively raised her right hand to block it, her eyes glanced at Lei Yilie who was sleeping soundly lying on the bedside.

He was half bent on the side of the bed, his sleeping face facing her.

He was still wearing yesterday's suit, and it seemed that he had guarded her all night.

The light golden sunlight shone softly on him, and his golden hair shone with a dazzling luster, making his handsome face even more white as jade.

She couldn't help staring blankly, and suddenly remembered the blurry dream last night, in which she seemed to reach out and touch his face, and said some bold words, her cheeks couldn't help but feel a little hot.

In front of him, Lei Yilie's sleeping face was as pure as a baby's, without the coldness and fierceness when he was awake, making people unable to help but want to get close to him as soon as they saw it.

Up to now, she still doesn't know what kind of person he is.I can't tell whether he is an angel-like person, or he is originally a devil, but has an angel-like appearance that can confuse people.

She was staring at him in a daze, when Lei Yilie suddenly woke up and opened his eyes, those azure blue eyes looked like a clear and vast sea against the sunlight, and there seemed to be sparkling waves inside.

And in this beautiful blue ocean was her reflection, her face appeared in his pupils, so clear.

Looking at each other, both of them were stunned.

Time seemed to stop flowing at this moment, and the surroundings became extremely quiet, and the atmosphere was a little ambiguous.

She turned her head unnaturally, trying to avoid his gaze, but found that her right arm, which was placed at the corner of her right eye to block the sun, was naked, and she realized that she was not wearing any clothes!

She suddenly stared at Lei Yilie with wide eyes in panic, and the image of washing sheets in the rain yesterday and then fainting in the rain flashed in her mind.

There are only her and Lei Yilie here, it is obvious that Lei Yilie helped take off the wet clothes on her body!

This answer made her gasp again in shock, she covered the quilt on her chest with her hands, and sat up as if she had been pricked by a needle.

She turned her head in a panic to find her clothes, and then found that her entire shoulders were almost exposed, so she pulled the quilt on her body even more in a panic, trying to completely cover herself.

Lei Yilie saw her pulling the quilt shyly and anxiously, remembering how he nervously took off her wet clothes yesterday, his expression also became a little unnatural, and two blushes were unknowingly stained on his face.

He got up and wanted to return the quilt he had pressed down to her, but he didn't expect her to pull the quilt too hard. He suddenly got up and broke his balance, causing Naixue to roll uncontrollably to the other side of the bed.

"what--"

"Naixue!"

Her scream and his exclamation sounded at the same time, and he instinctively reached out to stabilize Lin Naixue who was rolling backwards, and then rolled down with her.

In a panic, Lei Yilie had no choice but to hug her tightly with the quilt, trying to let his back touch the ground first to avoid hurting her.

boom!
After a muffled sound, a dull pain came from his back. Before he could react, he felt a warmth on his lips, and a cherry-like sweet breath immediately surrounded him.

He raised his eyes in surprise, just in time to meet Lin Naixue's widened eyes in shock.

Looking at her eyes so closely, you can feel the warmth in the depths of her eyes more clearly.It was like a world he had longed for, with gorgeous flowers blooming all year round, like spring all year round, without cold.

And her lips—

It was a fragrance and softness that he had never experienced before. The sweet aroma was like the taste of fruit candy in his childhood memory, which made his heart throb, but it was more exciting and joyful.

Lin Naixue seemed to be frightened, she stared blankly at him, her mind went blank.

At this moment, the world seemed completely quiet to them.

They can't hear the cheerful chirping of birds outside the window, the swaying of leaves in the woods with the wind, and the leisurely creaking of old window leaves under the breeze...

Time seemed to stop at this moment.

Until after lunch, Lin Naixue didn't figure out how the unexpected kiss ended in the morning, and who let go of whom first.

She curled up in a corner of the bed, hugging her knees in a daze.

Having grown up so much, she has never been so flustered like today, and she finds that she can't get along with Lei Yilie at all now.As long as she saw his figure, she would inexplicably think of the "dream" of last night.

In the dream, he looked at her so tenderly and was enveloped by such eyes, which made her feel that she was the most precious treasure in this world.

And that kiss in the morning, she heard his heartbeat as loud and rapid as her own.

She subconsciously caressed her ankles bound by iron chains, recalling the image of Lei Yilie helping her untie the iron chains after the two kissed unintentionally—his hand holding the key trembled slightly, and his eyes seemed to He deliberately avoided her until he completely untied the iron chain on her body, and he didn't even look at her.

She could feel that this time, Lei Yilie didn't want to look at her because he hated her, but was avoiding something, because he didn't have the usual cold and indifferent aura.Could it be that he had a crush on her?
Her heart jumped a little because of this conjecture, and a sweet smile involuntarily floated on the corner of her lips.It wasn't until then that she realized that she also liked him a little bit in her heart.

After getting dressed, she walked out of the room with some trepidation, and found that the weather today was fine.

The sky after it had just rained was extraordinarily clear, the sky was blue and blue, with a few white clouds floating occasionally.The sun hangs slantingly high in the sky, the breeze blows, and the branches and leaves dance in the mountains and forests.

Lei Yilie was standing in the golden sunlight wearing a white shirt, drying the sheets she hadn't washed yesterday.

His movements were very skillful, and when he shook off the wet sheets, a large number of tiny water droplets splashed in the air, and many of them stained his golden hair, shining like diamonds.

He probably sweated a little while drying the clothes. His white shirt was a little wet and stuck to his back. It looked a little transparent, and he could vaguely see the twisted and terrifying scars on his back.

The scars crawled on his back like earthworms, ugly but distressing.

Seeing these scars, Lin Naixue was deeply shocked.

That night, she discovered that there were scars on his shoulders, but she didn't expect that these scars almost covered his entire back!

The words he once said sounded in her ears again: "Now I will let you see with your own eyes what is the real wound and who is the one who has been wounded to pieces!"

Her eyes couldn't help getting wet, and she couldn't help walking behind him, reaching out to caress those terrible scars, her fingers trembling slightly because of surprise and distress.

She hugged him gently from behind, and said sincerely: "I'm sorry, Yilie, because I don't know how you have been hurt, I said something that hurt you so easily, I'm sorry."

Lei Yilie was stunned, he paused when he raised his hand to flatten the sheet, and asked in an unnatural voice: "You... what are you doing?"

Lin Naixue asked softly: "The scars on your back... who left them so cruelly? How could anyone be willing to hurt you?"

Lei Yilie's breathing was stagnant, and his body was a little stiff - did she notice those ugly scars on his body?He remembered that she had just said last night that she hoped he was an angel, but today she let her see such ugly scars on her body.

In her heart, he could no longer be a perfect person like an angel, which made him both heartbroken and lost.

He pretended to be indifferent and pushed her away fiercely, and said coldly: "Did you forget that I am a devil, and devils don't need anyone's pity at all!"

"Yi Lie?" Lin Naixue looked at him in disbelief, did he want to turn back into that demon?In the morning, she clearly felt his tenderness, he even preferred to protect her when he fell down.

Lei Yilie pretended not to care, while drying the bed sheets, he said casually: "Don't think that we kissed accidentally in the morning, and we can get along intimately in the future. The reason why I let you go is because I suddenly found that I have already loved you. I don't have much interest anymore. So, you'd better stay in your room and I will take you back in the afternoon, after you go back, whether you move or not, it's up to you!"

Listening to his words, Lin Naixue felt as if her heart had been cut by a knife.

When you are sure that you like him, some words will become especially hurtful.

Facing Lei Yilie, she really felt a little helpless, not knowing how to change him and improve the relationship between her and him.

A person who can be so gentle, why is he always so capricious?Why does he always hurt the people around him, as well as himself?
She felt herself trembling all over, bit her lower lip in pain, and said angrily: "Since this is the case, I don't need you to send it, I can go back by myself!"

After speaking, she turned around and was about to run away.

Lei Yilie grabbed her almost instinctively, and said loudly: "This is still a long way from the city, how can you go back alone?"

Lin Naixue yelled angrily, "Don't worry about it," and then slapped him with a slap.

A light red palm print suddenly appeared on Lei Yilie's fair cheek, he stared at her blankly, as if he didn't understand why she hit him.

After Lin Naixue hit him, she immediately regretted it, but when she thought of his capricious attitude, her deep grievance instantly overwhelmed her.

She didn't want to cry, but tears rolled out of her eyes uncontrollably.

She stubbornly opened her eyes, looked at him through blurred tears and said loudly: "Lei Yilie, why do you dominate my world? If you want me to get hurt, make me hurt, if you want me to hurt, make me hurt." , who do you think you are! Since you have lost interest in me, you don't have to worry about my affairs in the future!"

After speaking, she cried and broke free from his hand, and ran quickly down the mountain.

Her words pierced Lei Yilie's heart like a sharp knife, and he stood there in a daze - he made her cry again.

By the time he realized it, Lin Naixue was no longer on the mountain road.

He couldn't help being anxious. Although you can drive in here, there are many forks in the mountain road. If you are not familiar with it, it is easy to go the wrong way.It was her first time here, and he had brought her here forcibly at night, so she would definitely get lost if she went out like this!

"Nayuki! Wait a minute!"

He shouted anxiously while chasing after him on the way down the mountain.But when he ran to the first fork in the road, he still didn't see Naixue.

Thinking of the disappointment in her teary eyes when she ran away, he felt his heart was about to be torn apart.

He recalled how he got along with Lin Naixue these days, it seemed that all he brought her was hurt.Although Naixue tried again and again to get close to him and warm him, but he pushed her away indifferently.

He is really the devil in her mouth, how can he expect to be forgiven by her like this?

Now that she was gone, it seemed as if she had taken away the last trace of warmth from his heart, leaving his heart empty, leaving only a piece of ice cold.

The forest is so big and there are so many forks, where did she go?
"Naixue!"

He stood at a fork in a daze, yelling her name to the rolling forest, scaring away a group of birds resting on a few nearby trees.

But in the empty mountain forest, except for his own echo and the occasional birdsong, there was no other sound.

He suddenly felt that this quietness was terrible, just like when he was a child holding his scarred mother and looking forward to the dawn, it gave him a sense of helpless fear, which made him unable to stay where he was and wait.

He picked a path and ran forward like crazy.
