Chapter Forty-Eight: Loved
This sudden gunshot made the subjective world of several people seem to pause for a few seconds, but in these short seconds, there are thousands of things—including the person who fired the gun. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The man with four stars on his shoulder, after all, was a well-trained soldier, and he only fired one shot, but he hit the red heart right in the heart, killing two birds with one stone.
But when he saw the desperate look on Rollin's face, he also had the illusion of suffocation.
He suddenly wanted to defend himself: he just wanted to shoot the man behind her.
But there was a voice in his heart that said disdainfully: "At this juncture, you still want to lie? You hypocrite. ”
Yes, when Ji An hit his injured head with his head, snatched the "thing" he had saved at the risk of his life and threw it into the hands of the strange man, he raised his gun and aimed it at the man, which was nothing more than an instinctive reaction of a soldier when he was provoked.
However, at the moment of shooting, he saw Rollin and hesitated for 0.2 seconds: should he avoid her?
In other words, the shooting was a deliberate decision, not an unintentional mistake - he really wanted to end this abnormal relationship.
Rollin loved him, and there was no doubt that from the first sight he saw her, he saw in her eyes a boiling longing.
Although she looked at him from afar, keeping her distance with reverence like a god-worshipper, her gaze did not shrink.
Few dragon maidens were as bold as she was, they always kept their heads down, afraid to look directly at men, and no one had ever stared at him as directly as she did.
He actually didn't hate this boldness, so he didn't reject her taking the initiative to approach.
She talks a lot, and sometimes she can't stop when she starts up. But he didn't think there was anything wrong with that, it was much more interesting than the pretending reserved Miss Hulu of the Dragons, so that he wouldn't be too bored during this lurking day, and sometimes he would get some important information from her.
In order to repay her for this "fun", one night after eavesdropping on the roof of the wolf clan little head man to listen to the content of the meeting, he looked at the begonia flowers in the tiled house next door and came up with the idea of "borrowing flowers to worship the Buddha".
Sure enough, she loved his gift.
Later, he was exposed on the territory of the werewolves, and she did not hesitate to betray her people to save him.
He knew that this woman was about to come into disaster, and he asked her to go with him, but he didn't expect her to refuse.
In the days that followed, he often recalled that night, and when she took her hand and ran to the field, her palms were soaked with sweat because of nervousness; Remembering her disordered heartbeat as he hugged her at the beach...... But none of these can match the resolute look in her eyes when she rejected him, and the stubborn touching.
Or to put it bluntly, what makes him so obsessed with it is not her kindness to him or her unique beauty in the past, but the abrupt feelings, the regret of parting.
Some people say that the first love is the most unforgettable, but in fact, the first love that you can't get is the most unforgettable.
Regret is like a biting flea, although there is no heart-rending pain, but the long-lasting itch still teaches people to care.
Ten years ago, in this story of the first love between a boy and a girl, he was indeed an innocent victim of the struggle between the two races, and he did not deliberately take advantage of Rollin's feelings at that time.
But ten years is enough to change many things, such as how the family of a generation of famous generals is in decline; Another example is how in the gradually declining big family, after the famous general with tiger teeth, grew from a childish boy to the worldly appearance of the adult he once hated.
What kind of sophistication is the sophistication he hates? In any case, know to choose the option that is most beneficial to you; It is okay to use everyone around you, and let the people who are used be happy; He said things against his will without changing his face...... At the age of twenty-six, he is such an adult.
For the sake of his family, he once framed and blamed the generals of the same race and different clans, used the nepotism of courtesans to tie up with local forces, and used the following three indiscriminate means of hooligans to eliminate dissidents...... He walked on the one-way street of doing everything he could, unscrupulously, leaving no room for himself to turn back.
On this one-way street, his epaulettes were changed and changed, eventually becoming four stars; Then, as fate would have it, he met Rollin again in the hot mist.
Maybe he made the scorching sun fierce, maybe the white light sprinkled on people's faces softened too many flaws, and he was really ecstatic at that time.
Later, he saw the cruel truth: Rollin's masculine face and body were a bitter disillusionment for him, destroying the beautiful dreams of his youth.
However, he is no longer a freewheeling teenager, whether he likes it or not, he has to control Rollin in the palm of his hand, so that she will completely betray the wolf people and stand on his side.
Although Rollin was not the first woman he had taken advantage of, his presence always made him particularly disgusted with himself.
When he stroked her stiff arm, he felt like a rabbit who sold his body to a man; When she cast him a more fiery look than ten years ago, he felt that he was a man who was utterly vile; When his subordinates inadvertently swept the two of them with ambiguous eyes, he felt like a man walking naked in front of a large crowd - as if the whole world knew how filthy he was.
Obviously, I really want this woman to disappear along with his stain, but I want to avoid being a bad person who is bad to the bone.
So he seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, an opportunity for him to deceive himself after getting rid of Rollin.
It's just that when he saw Rollin's eyes, he knew that he hadn't succeeded in fooling anyone.
Her eyes reminded him of the flames suffocating on the damp firewood, the kind of withered lamps that could not be burned again.
Obviously there was still a sea of fire not far behind her that had not yet been extinguished, but her eyes made him see that the whole world was pitch black.
"I'm sorry." He couldn't help but say that instead of apologizing to her, it seemed like he just wanted to make himself feel better.
When did he become such a hypocrite?
When did they get to this point?
If Rollin had gone with him ten years ago, would this story have been different? He had asked himself this question many times, but he could never get a real answer to his assumptions.
The fact is that Rollin didn't go with him ten years ago, so the only time he was really attracted to her, the only time he really asked for it, was buried on the beach ten years ago.
Everyone wants to be immortal, but they don't know that what is more difficult to recover than the unchanged face is the young, sincere, and untouched heart.
