"Let's be separated from each other, and let each of us rejoice."

When I said this, I felt that it had been pressed on my heart all night, it should be said that it was a stone that had been too long, and I finally broke free of it, and I finally breathed a long sigh of relief.

This relationship has always been the most difficult knot in my heart, because I understand that Pei Yuanxiu is different from Pei Yuanhao and Liu Qinghan, this man has left all kinds of imprints in my life, he is not a strong color, but his gentleness is the greatest redemption in my desperate years.

It's just that I really didn't expect it to come this far.

I calmly sent the half glass of water in front of him.

Pei Yuanxiu stood there in silence.

At this moment, I couldn't hear his breathing, nor could I feel a little heat on his body, as if the joys, sorrows, sorrows, and sorrows of the whole person were taken away by something at this moment, and when I looked into his eyes, he was also looking at me, the familiar, always gentle, smiling and rippling eyes, at the moment were completely still, as if there was no trace of wind, there was no ripple on the surface of the lake, this completely unfamiliar feeling, I have never seen before.

My heart couldn't help but throb.

And just then, he suddenly reached out and took my hand holding the cup.

I was caught off guard, and I didn't expect him to do this suddenly, and I was so frightened that my breath stopped, and I stared at him with wide eyes: "You-"

He didn't speak, just looked at me.

In his eyes, I still can't see any emotion, no resentment, no annoyance, not even a little fluctuation of affection, if it weren't for the scorching temperature of his palm at this moment, I even have the illusion that he doesn't know what he's doing.

I subconsciously said: "Yuan Xiu ......"

“……”

He didn't respond in any way.

But, perhaps it was my uneasy feelings, or maybe it was my rapid and flustered breathing, and between the two people, the candle flame on the table also became restless, constantly swaying, and the shadows of the two people were in the room, and with the swaying of the candle flame, it became even more messy; And I know better that there is a dreadnought monk and Su Su standing outside the door, and the two of them must have been paying attention to the movement in the room, and the candle flame must have cast the shadows of the two of us on the door and window.

He's doing this now, in the end, to-

My mind was a little more chaotic, and I subconsciously said, "Yuan Xiu, you don't want to be like this. ”

As soon as the words ended, my heart suddenly jumped.

Because I suddenly felt that his hand was straining.

I don't know what he's going to do, and I don't have to think about it at this moment, but my hand, and the cup I was holding, seemed so slender and weak in his palm, as if he would crush my bones, and the cup, if he exerted his strength.

I couldn't withdraw my hand, my breathing became even more flustered, and I looked up at him: "Yuan Xiu! ”

“……”

He still didn't say anything, but the big hand that held my hand was even harder, and I almost really thought he was going to crush my hand or do something, but I found that he was just holding my hand and slowly flipped to the side.

It's-

Before I could even react, the water in the cup in my hand was poured out and spilled squarely on the candle flame on the table below

Just listen to the sound of "zi", and the goblet of fire is extinguished.

Suddenly, the whole room was plunged into total darkness.

I was stunned by his inexplicable behavior, and the sudden darkness in front of me made me a little dazed, and before I even had time to react, I felt the strength in my hand sink, and he pulled me over at once.

"Ahh

I let out a low cry, completely defenseless, and staggered as I was caught by two strong arms stretched out of the darkness.

At this moment, I almost suffocated.

It was only when my cheek hit a chest that I was a little dazed that I realized that I was being held in his arms.

The hands, slowly closing behind my back, pressed me hard against his chest.

I have never been a stranger to this embrace, I have given me so many gentle comforts when I am depressed, lost, and painful, even if it has been so long, I still remember the gentle ironing when he hugged me, and his long breath on his head, and with that breath, and gradually wrapped me, that faint breath.

But at this moment, I suddenly felt a shiver.

This embrace is obviously his, and the arms that hug my thin body are obviously his, but why, it has become so strange.

Moreover, just now, when he grabbed my hand, I could still feel the hot temperature of his palm, but now, holding me in his arms, from his body to his breath, I could almost feel it getting colder quickly, little by little.

The person holding me seemed to be enchanted, and suddenly changed from a person's flesh and blood to a cold sculpture.

I was so chilled by that chill that I almost stiffened.

And at this moment, the people outside had already reacted, and I heard the footsteps of the fearless monk and Su Su immediately sounded, running from the courtyard to the door, the tall figure was already reflected on the door, followed by the earth-shattering sound of the door: "Miss! What's wrong with you, Miss? ”

“……”

"Pei Yuanxiu, what are you going to do to the eldest lady! Open the door! ”

“……”

"Open the door!"

“……”

"Miss, are you alright?"

“……”

"Speak!"

My breath was about to be wrapped around me, and the cold embrace froze, but at this moment, I finally came back to my senses and struggled subconsciously: "Yuan Xiu!" ”

The moment I began to struggle, those powerful arms let go of me.

Immediately, I left the barely warm chest.

The room was still dark, probably because of the sudden darkness, which also dulled my perception a little, I found my missed heartbeat, and hurriedly looked up to look at him, but I felt a figure flash in front of me, and he turned away from me.

A chilly wind swept across my cheeks.

Then, I heard the sound of the door being opened.

A faint light, is the lantern under the eaves outside the door, swaying with the wind, spilling the red light in, I hurriedly turned my head, and saw the fearless monk and Su Su standing outside the door, both of them were anxious, the fearless monk even rolled up his sleeves, looking like he was looking for someone to fight, as soon as he saw the door open, he immediately said angrily: "What do you want to do?!" ”

And that person was still standing in the room, as if he was standing in the dark, I could only see his back, the original tall silhouette, but at the moment it was inexplicably showing a little vulnerability. He just stood at the door for a moment, didn't even look at the fearless monk and Su Su, and just walked out.

The fearless monk and Su Su were stunned all of a sudden.

And I stood at the door, feeling the chill around me that had not yet dissipated, and subconsciously reached out and hugged my body.

The back soon disappeared into the faint light of the lantern under the eaves, and quickly blended into the surrounding night. A gust of night wind swept away the last faint breath he left behind.

He's gone.

I stood in place, just looking at the dark night outside in a daze, the fearless monk and Su Su were also stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly walked in, the fearless monk couldn't help but get angry, slapped the table and scolded, and immediately felt the water stains on the table, and hurriedly took out the flint in his arms to light the candlestick. And Su Su hurriedly came over and hugged my arm, and whispered, "Miss, what's wrong?" What's wrong? Why did the lights go out all at once? ”

“……”

I was stunned for a long time before I looked at the concerned eyes of the two of them, and forced a smile: "No, it's okay." ”

"Are you really okay?"

“……”

I didn't have the strength to explain anything to them, but I heard a "poof" next to me, and the fearless monk lit the candlestick on the table, and the candle flame fluttered and slowly jumped up, illuminating the room, and also illuminating the paleness and panic on my face at a glance.

The fearless monk frowned, looked at the water cup on the table, the cold water that was spilled, and looked up at me: "Miss, didn't he do anything to you?" ”

“……”

"Miss, if he bullies you—"

"He didn't do anything."

I shuddered, and reluctantly said this, but I felt that more and more chills poured out of my body, which was no longer left by him, but from the bottom of my heart, and I could only reach out and hug my arms tighter, but I still couldn't let myself feel a little more warmth.

Su Su still had some palpitations, looked at my pale face, turned her head to look at the night outside, and said, "Miss, what did you just say inside?" ”

"Didn't say anything."

"Then why-"

She glanced at my face and hesitated for a moment before saying, "I see, he's like, like—"

As she spoke, she subconsciously reached out and touched her eyes.

“……”

I only glanced at her, and before I had time to say anything, the fearless monk next to me had already said hatefully: "It doesn't matter what he does, as long as the eldest lady is fine, if there is anything wrong with the eldest lady, the Sprinkle family will kill him!" ”

Su Su looked at me and cautiously quieted down.

I was comforted and relieved by the two of them, and after a while, I persuaded them to go back and closed the door myself.

When I looked back, the table still looked like a mess.

The candle flame flickered, but only my emaciated figure was reflected, projected on the wall, which seemed to be more and more fluctuating, as if it was very cold, shivering.

In fact, I was literally shaking all the time.

However, it took a long time for me to react, and the chill was not the cold of the night, but the breath he left behind.

A sharp, icy aura.
