In the northern part of the western continent, even though it is almost summer, the night is still cold.

The chill was even more wanton before dawn, and the cool air penetrated into my heart.

Only the last bit of ember was left of the dry firewood piled up in strict accordance with the overnight amount.

A breeze hit, and Ah Zi couldn't help but shiver.

Tang Yin took off the cloak behind her and wrapped it around her shoulders, and got a grateful smile from Ah Zi as she turned around.

Tang Yin's brown heart moved, as if he was gently brushed by a soft feather.

"Why me?"

A sentence for no reason, but Ah Zi understood that what he asked was that day when Zuo Qiyang asked her whether she chose to stay in Xijing or leave with Ah Brown, she chose Ah Brown without hesitation.

"Do you still remember the night when Zuo Qiyang set up a bureau to surround us outside Dragon Claw City?" Ah Zi said, pursing her lips and smiling, "Bao'er went to find you one step ahead of me and Ah Zhong, and chased us outside the city gate, one of us in the east and the other in the west, the same predicament, the same helpless."

"That day, you chose to save Bao'er first."

Ah Zi said, his eyes flickering.

Tang Yin's brown eyes were dark, and he said: "That day, Bao'er only had Zhihong Zhiwei by his side, but he had to deal with Zuo Qiyang and dozens of elite cavalry led by him, you have Ah Zhong to protect you, and what you are facing is only three or five little minions brought by Ruipeng, I expected that Ah Zhong alone would be able to deal with it, so I let go...... I didn't expect Ah Zhong to lose the battle because of Bao'er......"

"I understand," Ah Zi interrupted Ah Brown's words with a smile, after so much time, she was taken captive by Zuo Qiyang on the way to Xijing, thinking about Ah Brown's back when she left him and chose Bao'er. How could I not even think of this simplest truth clearly, "At that time, people with a little judgment would choose the side of Bao'er, who was more urgent, I knew this, and I thought about it very clearly afterwards." I don't blame you, and I'm glad you chose to save Boa, not me.

"But what reason has told me can't stop my heartache from thinking of the back you left.

"Even if I know that's right.

"Just like when you asked me to choose, I understood that staying in Xijing would reduce a lot of danger, and even get more favor and comfort for the rest of my life.

"You also understand that if I choose Zuo Qiyang, it is far better than leaving with you, right?

"It's like I understand that you are more right to choose Boa than me.

"But I couldn't control my heart. I can't stop my pain.

"I'm afraid you'll be like me. Even if reason tells you that I was right to leave you, it will still hurt my heart.

"I've experienced the feeling of death on the way from Dragon Claw City to Xijing, and I can't bear to let you suffer the same thing again......

"Ah Zi!"

Tang Yinbrown wanted to say something in response, but he only felt like a fish in his throat. He looked at Ah Zi. Those watery eyes also looked beyond themselves. As bright as the stars in the night sky.

The emotions that had been accumulated in his chest for so many years surged up like a flood that burst the embankment, only to make his body hot and his head hot.

He propped himself up and stepped forward. grabbed Ah Zi's somewhat emaciated shoulders, pulled her into her arms suddenly, lifted her delicate face, looked between the half-open delicate red lips, and kissed it hard......

Go to his rational balance, go to his righteousness of heaven and earth, and go to his loyalty and filial piety!

Why did he suffer for those senseless responsibilities and hypocritical rights, and hurt the people he loved the most?

He loved her.

From the moment she appeared in front of the Niangniang Temple in Luheshan and accidentally fell and was caught by himself, he fell in love with her.

But he left her again and again because of the so-called saving her.

Worried that her beastly nature would hurt her, afraid that she would be hunted down by the royal family in Dongyuan after her identity was exposed, and afraid that he would not be able to give her the best future and harm her......

Too many worries bound him, made him dare not face his heart, and made him turn her away again and again.

Emotionally, he is a coward, timid, and in the end, he suffers only himself and his most beloved person.

Ah Zi's mind was blank, and he froze there for a while, letting Ah Brown hug himself hard, his hands so hard that he pinched his shoulders painfully, his soft lips pressed tightly against his lips, and his slippery tongue rushed into his mouth like a beast trapped in a cage for a long time.

She pressed her hand against Ah Brown's solid chest, feeling the sound of his powerful and rapid heartbeat.

He loves himself and is as crazy as himself.

For the first time, this thought rose in Ah Zi's mind with such certainty, and her heart melted with it.

All the while, she desperately followed Ah Brown again and again, but what she got was always his rejection thousands of miles away.

At first, she was willing to comfort herself with the excuse that "these are just because Ah Brown is worried about her safety", but after a long time, she finally began to doubt her judgment.

Maybe Ah Brown's feelings for himself are different from those he has always had for him?

Or was it her wishful thinking from the start?

Every time a small sprout of these thoughts popped up, she would be overwhelmed - she was afraid that it was true, that Ah Brown really didn't love her, but she couldn't get back her already overflowing emotions.

But at this moment, this frenzied kiss made her panic for a while, but it made her no longer afraid from the bottom of her heart.

Ah Zi let go of the hands that were firmly against Ah Brown's chest and wrapped around his back from behind. No longer froze there like a log, but responded to Ah Brown's enthusiasm every time.

Feeling Ah Zi's response, Ah Brown smiled and let go of his lips, looked at Ah Zi and said, "From now on, I will never let go, unless you get tired of it, or take the initiative to leave......"

Ah Zi smiled and blinked, and said, "How did I take the initiative to choose to leave?" Didn't you always choose to leave me? ”

Ah Brown squinted slightly to look at Ah Zi, hooked the corners of his mouth, lowered his head and bit Ah Zi's lip.

The east was white, but Ah Brown chose to ignore it this time and indulge himself.

He hugged Ah Zi's hands tightly and went all the way down, probing farther and farther.

A neighing of a horse not far away interrupted the two of them at an inopportune time.

"It's our carriage ......"

This time, even Ah Zi realized that the situation was wrong, and Ah Brown had no choice but to let go of Ah Zi and pull her in the direction of the carriage.

There was no one around. The horse was startled, but it was a falcon that crashed into the carriage without knowing whether to live or die.

Ah Zi frowned and looked at the eagle that landed in front of the carriage door at this time and was leisurely combing his feathers, his eyes full of puzzlement.

"How can there be eagles here?"

But Ah Brown smiled and went up to pick up the falcon and plucked a letter from the eagle's talons.

"The west is close to the Longji Mountains from the north, the birds and beasts are too ferocious, it is difficult for carrier pigeons to survive, and most of the communication of the imperial court uses birds of prey such as eagles and falcons."
