Chapter 13: Stand-ins
As she expected, Xiao Huaijin really broke her hand, leaving her with only a cold look, and turned around and left without mercy. Until his figure faded out of sight......
Rong Ning sniffed, completely without the sense of joking before.
I don't know why, my heart is a little empty.
She touched her left chest, her nose was so sore that she wanted to cry, as if she had been abandoned, what to do.
He seemed to be her only support in this world, and she met him as soon as she set off, and she didn't have time to see the ups and downs outside before he was taken under her wing.
Obviously knowing not to be emotionally attached to him, obviously feeling that he should stay away from him, obviously reminding himself all the time that she can only go home if she matches him and Lou Yanran and has a lover and finally becomes a family, why ...... at this moment? It felt as if there was a gap in the heart, and all the vitality ran out of it.
She bit her lip, but saw that the person who had left had returned to her side, and his eyes had gradually calmed down, but he couldn't see the bottom at all, making it impossible to figure out what he was thinking.
Xiao Huaijin didn't say anything, just took a deep look at her, and then took her hand and walked out. Rong Ning had a grudge in his heart, so he naturally refused to give in.
"You let go...... Let go of ......" No matter how she beats, he just won't let go, and his facial features that have been carved by a knife become more and more cold. Later, he simply picked her up in the air, ignoring the strange eyes around him.
The girl in Fengyuefang, who was forgotten by everyone in the corner, had a gloomy face, although the task was perfectly over, but this hit the wall and must have broken the phase, it was really ...... She clenched her fists, her nails a little embedded in the flesh, as if to remind her of the pain.
***
Xiao Huaijin didn't say a word after hugging Rong Ning into the carriage, Rong Ning was sad about his behavior just now, and on the other hand, he was happy with a little joy, the two feelings were intertwined, and he secretly glanced at the man with a tense face, and pursed his lips.
Nothing to say all the way.
It wasn't until she lifted the curtain that she found out...... This is not the way back to the palace at all. Looking at this road, it looks like going out of the city!
"Parking...... Stop the car! ”
She shouted at the coachman, but the carriage drove off to the outskirts without a pause. Rong Ning turned his head to look at the man who was sitting upright and had a cold face, but the grievances in his heart were getting bigger and bigger.
He did not give her a chome, as if she was the same as those people, and was the same as others.
However, she bit her lower lip, what is the difference between her and others?
When he first met, he didn't ask her where she came from, he didn't ask her intentions, and ordinary people should know that she was like a stranger who appeared on this continent out of thin air, with no customs clearance documents, no family, and even no friends.
It's just that she was blinded by the comfortable life in front of her, and she didn't want to explore, let alone know who he was thinking when he looked into her eyes.
Now, it seems like it's time for the dream to break.
Scapegoat.
She lowered her eyes, and no one knew what she was thinking.
******
The carriage walked for about half an hour before it stopped.
In addition to the initial silence, Xiao Huaijin held her tightly in his arms after realizing Rong Ning's abnormality. Thinking of her motion sickness watch on the way back to Beijing, he regretted his rash trip, but thought of that place...... Sooner or later, he was going to take her.
He always paid attention to the person in his arms, and when he saw that she was just shallow with her eyes closed, and she didn't look uncomfortable, he was relieved.
He didn't mean to ignore her before, but he was too angry and angry in his heart, and in a blink of an eye, he seemed to be back to the way he had parted, so how could he calm down?
When the carriage came to a stop, he looked at the man in his arms who seemed to be sleeping peacefully, and his chest slowly became stuffy, as if it had been filled with something. His hand stroked back gently along her hairline, with no intention of waking her up.
In the end, Rong Ning couldn't stand the scorching atmosphere before he opened his eyes.
"Here we are." A deep voice sounded, and a smile flashed in his eyes, so fast that people couldn't grasp it.
"Oh."
Rong Ning didn't look at him after opening his eyes, he moved quickly but unintentionally to get out of his arms, got up and got out of the carriage by himself.
Xiao Huaijin only smiled when she was still angry. He then dismounted from the carriage and regained his grip on her hand, and when he saw that there was no resistance, he let go of his thoughts and pointed to a meadow in front of him.
What came into view was a ruined wall, green hills pointed to the sky, and a road they stood on led to a cliff, and even the green grass looked depressed because of the winter.
Xiao Huaijin was referring to a patch of grass not far from the cliff.
He showed a more obvious smile, with nostalgia in his voice, and said, "You and I first met, right here." ”
Rong Ning chuckled in her heart, although she had already guessed the approximate, but when she heard him say it in person, she still felt a faint pain in her heart, as if she had been beating an awl.
He seemed to be caught up in the memory, and did not see her pale face, and continued: "I was hunted down and killed at that time, and I fled here. I fled for two whole days, thirsty and hungry, thinking that there was no way out, and I did not expect to meet you here. You're lying in this place with your eyes closed, and I thought you were dead. He paused, "But no, you woke up when I approached." Your frightened hands clenched, and your panicked eyes hit my heart like a fawn running in all directions. At that time, I thought I had to protect you......"
The awl seemed to have shattered her entire heart, and no matter how much she put it together, she couldn't get it back to its original shape. His voice grew lower and lower, and he became more and more inaudible.
Fortunately, he just recognized the wrong person and never used her as a stand-in. But...... It turned out that his gentleness never belonged to her......
It was her last thought before she fainted.
