CHAPTER XXXIX

All the sounds are silent, but Yu Zhong chimes.

When the black-lacquered flat-topped carriage stopped at the foot of Fo Guang Mountain, it was already evening, and the bells and drums in the temple came through the layers of twilight.

Su Yan also lived in the temple for a while when she traveled with Dr. Han in the past, maybe she was too young at that time, and the solemn and majestic momentum in the temple hit her heart lightly, so that Su Yan is still in awe when she sees the Buddhist temple now, she refused Dou Xian's support, and carried the skirt step by step slowly and reverently up the stairs, the royal blue brocade inlaid skirt slightly rippled with her movements, and the lines were like water and gentle and gentle.

After a full day of rest in Shuozhou, Su Yan's spirit was much better, but despite this, the current state of her body did not allow her to walk the whole journey alone.

Ascending another step of steps, Su Yan paused at her feet, raised her sleeve to wipe the sweat on her forehead, calmed her breathing a little, and raised her feet again to take the next step, but before her feet fell, her body shook slightly, and she was about to fall down the steps unsteadily.

They are now in the most precipitous part of the mountainside, the stairs are steep, if Su Yan really stepped on the air, according to the current terrain, she would definitely roll straight down and fall all over her body!

At the moment, Dou Xian, who had been following Su Yan by one level, secretly paying attention to her, stretched out his long arm and took Su Yan, who was shaking, into his arms.

The moment it happened, Su Yan exclaimed, her hands tightly clutched Dou Xian's shirt for a long time before she opened her closed eyes, and when she found that she hadn't rolled down the stairs as expected, she let out a long sigh of relief.

However, the next moment, another exclamation overflowed from Su Yan's mouth.

I saw Dou Xian slightly lower in his body, his long arm passed through Su Yan's armpits and legs, and he picked her up horizontally without warning, and his iron arm imprisoned the body in his arms with irresistible strength.

The sudden change made Su Yan consciously raise her arms around his neck, and only let go when she felt that her body was stable.

Fo Guang Shan is a rare mountain range in the Central Plains, Fo Guang Temple stands majestically on the top of Fo Guang Mountain, now it will only be halfway through, there are thousands of steps left, want to climb to the top is afraid to take a lot of effort, not to mention holding an adult woman in his arms.

Su Yan turned her head to look at the winding and long mountain stairs, and the Hao Ran and concern in her heart prompted her to open her mouth to "discuss" with Dou Xian, as long as she took a short rest, she could still walk the rest of the stairs.

But she didn't want Su Yan to raise her head and was about to speak, but she saw Dou Xian's face dark and her eyes were not worried, Su Yan blinked innocently, and thought in her heart, what happened to this person? Why is the complexion so ugly? Who provoked him?

After thinking about it for a long time, Su Yan had to give up, and picked up Fang Cai's idea again to "discuss" with Dou Xian, "Zhong...... Yes! ”

Before the word "Kang" could be spoken, Su Yan only felt that the long arm under her armpit was loosened, and the sudden sense of emptiness from her waist made Su Yan's heart almost want to raise her throat, but she didn't have time to think about it, and raised her arm in surprise to hug the neck that was close in front of her.

However, the next moment, those long arms were still holding her body strongly, Su Yan recovered from her panic, calmed down her rapid heartbeat, and raised her eyes in disbelief to look at the handsome face that was close at hand.

She's teased!

He teased her like that!

How dare he?!

For a while, many thoughts came one after another, blocking Su Yan's thinking for a moment.

"Are you afraid? Just now. ”

When her mind was blank, a low and slow but indescribable gloomy voice sounded above Su Yan's head.

Su Yan raised her head in a daze and nodded without thinking.

Fear! Of course I'm afraid!

Dou Xian lowered his eyes and looked at her fixedly, and said word by word: "I am more afraid than you." ”

Su Yan's expression froze, and she was about to blurt out the question, which was obviously calm and calm, but it was endlessly fragile, and dissipated silently like a cloud of smoke, and the arms around Dou Xian's neck loosened slightly.

Sensing her actions, Dou Xian grabbed her arms and tightened them tightly, silently urging her to tighten her arms again.

Su Yan opened her mouth, but in the end she was dumbfounded.

She didn't know what to say or what to ask.

Obviously, I still don't understand why he did this, and I still feel wronged, but because of his words, there is a slight guilt and self-blame in my heart, which is difficult to ignore.

Putting the confusion on her face into her eyes, Dou Xian's eyes narrowed slightly, stopped, and buried his head in her neck in Su Yan's increasingly puzzled gaze, and a low and dull voice clearly came into his ears, "Yaoyao, I'm so afraid that you will fall, if I don't catch your ......"

He didn't say the rest of the words, and his trembling body had already conveyed the rest of the words to Su Yan in his place.

Su Yan's eyes tightened, and she said softly for a long time: "But didn't you catch me?" ”

Hearing this, Dou Xian's body stiffened, and he shackled the delicate body in his arms more and more hard, and then he opened his mouth and unceremoniously bit the white and smooth soft flesh on the side of his mouth.

"Hmm!" Su Yan's hand on Dou Xian's shoulder tightened, a wave of pain appeared between her eyebrows, and a layer of hazy mist suddenly gathered in her apricot eyes.

Hearing Su Yan's cry of pain, Dou Xianfang let go of his teeth, his teeth gently biting and grinding on the soft flesh in his mouth, and licking the tip of his tongue as if it were nothing. Licking that smooth skin.

So ambiguously picky. The teasing act made Su Yan's whole body flush goosebumps, crispy. The numbness sensation poured straight into my heart from the lilies in my limbs.

After a while, Dou Xianfang let go of the soft flesh on her neck, kissed lightly on the circle of tooth marks, and said vaguely: "This is punishment." ”

Punish? Su Yan was stunned.

After a pause, Dou Xian's eyes looked deeply at the red marks on his fair and lustrous skin, and asked in a low voice, "Do you know where you are wrong?" ”

However, only Su Yan's increasingly innocent eyes responded to him.

Dou Xian gritted his teeth and said, "Sometimes I really want to open your brain and see what you are thinking!" ”

Obviously, she is extremely smart and transparent on weekdays, how can she be so unenlightened when she comes to him, if she is not well versed in her temperament, he is afraid that she is pretending to be confused.

"......" Su Yan was even more dazed.

Seeing this, Dou Xian let out a long sigh and said helplessly: "Why didn't you turn around when you were so tired that you couldn't go on?" Obviously I'm behind you, as long as you say a word, I will not hesitate to carry you through the rest of the road, why do you want to be strong? ”

"You're like this, you make me feel useless......"

Just now, when her feet were unstable and empty, his heart almost stopped, and the scene of holding her cold body in his previous life resurfaced in front of him, and the feeling of emptiness in his heart made him dare not think about what would happen if he failed to catch her.

When the delicate body was brought back into his arms, the monstrous despair and the ecstasy of the lost and regained were mixed together, and in such an extreme mood he suddenly realized that the person who seemed to be in his arms from the beginning to the end had never really relied on him wholeheartedly, not for a moment.

When he set his itinerary to leave Hufeng Village, she was reluctant, but she never opened her mouth to discuss with him if she could stay for another day; The road was bumpy and tired, and when she was unwell, she didn't tell him immediately, but chose to hold back, even if the discomfort of her body couldn't be completely concealed, she just gritted her teeth and didn't want to delay his trip.

And just now, even if her legs and feet are sore and tired, she still just gritted her teeth and tried to persevere, never thought of turning around and saying a word or two to him softly, as long as she opened her mouth, even as long as she looked at him delicately and softly, he would pick her up immediately without hesitation and walk the rest of the way.

When he was a child, he climbed the mountain with his parents, he had seen A-Niang walking tired, Wu Nong softly whispered to Aye, Aya, who has always been calm and self-controlled, would stop and carry A-Niang regardless of the side eyes of others.

The tall man carried his delicate lady on his back, and he remembered the scene clearly even after many years. In his first life, his biggest hope is that one day his little wife can treat Aya like A-Niang, and play tricks on his delicate and soft coquettishness, not respectful but intimate.

But now......

A deep sense of frustration rose and fell in Dou Xian's heart, and even his expression dimmed a lot.

As soon as he opened his mouth, Su Yan suddenly realized that it seemed that Yi Qiē was indeed as he said.

If she insisted on reaching the top alone at the beginning, it was out of awe in her heart, but when she felt unwell halfway, she also thought about what to do for her to be lazy and take a break, but she really never thought about Dou Xian behind her from beginning to end.

This realization made Su Yan a little stunned for a while, and she kept thinking about the reason for this qiē in her heart.

"Yaoyao, I am your crush, and I will become your father-in-law soon, why can't you rely on me? Even if it's just a little bit, it makes me feel a lot better. ”

The inconspicuous prayer and exhaustion in his words shocked Su Yan's heart, and she blurted out without thinking, "No! ”

The corners of Dou Xian's mouth were almost invisible and slightly hooked, but his face was still gloomy and sad.

"No, it's not what you think...... Su Yan didn't know what she was going to say, but subconsciously denied it, not wanting to see Dou Xian's lost appearance.

But she really hadn't figured out why, so she could only slowly shake her head in Dou Xian's eager gaze, "I, I don't know why......"

The light in Dou Xian's eyes gradually faded out, he smiled bitterly, and said abruptly: "That's it." ”

He took another step, hugged Su Yan with strong arms, and walked forward calmly step by step, but on the next journey, he never spoke again, nor did he look down at Su Yan.

Because of Dou Xian's silence, Peng Chun and Peng Lei, who had been arguing from time to time along the way, also held their breath and silenced, and even their steps were much lighter, and they were careful not to make the slightest sound.

The unbearable silence spread among the four of them, and Su Yan was even more uncomfortable staying in Dou Xian's arms, but the guilt in her heart made her dare not act rashly.

He was wholeheartedly to her, and he was expecting her to respond wholeheartedly, but she ......

Su Yan lowered her eyes and looked at the chest that was close in front of her, and sighed silently.
