Anai leaned against my shoulder, not knowing if she was comfortable, but she was clinging to me, her hands around my arms, and her right hand holding the silver ring she had given me. The lost ring seems to have a more solemn meaning.

Is it going too fast, I thought to myself, but for some reason, I was still very happy. This is, a feeling that I haven't seen for a long time, really, just like Xiaoya is beside me, but I have to admit that Anai is not Xiaoya, but she is as gentle as Xiaoya, just like a kitten. Stick to me, hold me, and refuse to leave me for fear of losing me. All of this gave me an illusion, in the darkness where I couldn't see my fingers, she was Xiaoya, and I, not Lu Jia, but Liu Ende, the two of us snuggled up like this, although there was no dialogue, but our hearts were tightly together.

"Xiaoya, if you weren't so ruthless at the beginning, would we still be able to snuggle up like this and embrace each other."

I pressed my forehead against hers in distraction, just like before. I closed my eyes, held my breath, and quietly felt her breath on my face like a gentle palm, stroking it again and again. Holding her tightly, I felt the heart of this living entity beating, and thumping on my chest.

"Luga, what are you going to say?"

She looked up at me, and I came back to my senses to realize that I had spoken a native language that I hadn't spoken in a long time. Looking at the eyes that gleamed in the darkness, and hearing the familiar and unfamiliar Latin language. I woke up from that distant dream again, and everything was now true.

"No, nothing."

I shook my head in a hurry, reached out and stroked Ana's head, brushing her somewhat messy hair with my fingers.

"I'm just saying, I've lost so much and don't want to lose you again......"

Anai suddenly brought her face up and blocked my lips firmly with her mouth, leaving me speechless.

Is this a strong kiss? I didn't know what to do at all, and at that moment I felt like I had been immobilized by a spell.

It only took a dozen seconds for my lips to touch, but I felt like the glimmer of light was so brief that I didn't even react.

"Don't say it."

In the darkness, Anana's affectionate eyes shone like stars in the night sky. She looked at me and stretched out her index finger and gently pressed it against my lips. "Don't say it," she repeated again, "if you say it, it's not allowed, God is eavesdropping, don't let him hear it, because he loves to play tricks on people the most, if you think of anything, whether it's good or bad, don't say it, don't let others hear it, let alone let God hear it, can you promise me?" ”

"Well, I promise you!"

I fumbled in the dark, took her hand, and pressed it hard against my heart. This sentence, like a life creed, is firmly engraved in my heart.

"So, you swear?"

"I swear!"

"What do you swear by?"

"Take ......" I was speechless for a while, I was so stupid, I usually have the ability to deceive others, but as soon as I met Ana, I was stupid and didn't know what to say.

Let me think about it, I looked up and saw the starlight in the sky above my head that reflected Ana's eyes.

As soon as it rained, the sky was extremely clean, and it felt like the whole world was completely new. The stars are also brighter than before, a new world, everyone else is asleep, no one comes to admire and have such a clean sky, but fortunately, the sky is now for me and Ana.

"Well, let's use the stars in the sky." I stretched out my hand to the sky and showed Ana, gesturing with my fingers, little by little, outlining the outline of the Milky Way in the sky and the constellations I could recognize. And pointed it out to her, she was very obedient, snuggled up to my shoulder, no matter what I said, she always listened quietly and did not disturb me. She must not have understood what I was saying, because how could they have such a wealth of knowledge at the time, but she didn't show any boredom, and that was what I wanted, rather, I wanted a perfect audience, and Anai was.

In this way, I talked for a long time, and Kan Dashan talked for most of the night, until his mouth was dry, and he found that Anai had already fallen asleep.

"Well, it looks like you were going to listen."

I smiled and told her that she was breathing evenly and still asleep, so I wouldn't bother. Looking up at the sky again, looking at the stars above me, I felt like it was time to sleep, but with the beautiful woman on my side, I couldn't sleep, and it was really painful. I had no choice but to look up at the sky and endure the snoring in silence until dawn.

In the early morning, the first rays of sunlight on the horizon of Eastern Asia dispel the darkness overhead, followed by the long chimes of the church, reviving the sleeping city.

I whispered to Anai and Andrew to wake them up and tell them we were on our way. The two of them rubbed their sparse sleepy eyes, looking reluctant to wake up, it seems that they were not satisfied with last night's sleep, so who can I reason with my two dark circles? I held back the dissatisfaction in my heart and remained silent.

At this time, when it was time to open the city gate, there were already hundreds of civilians from the surrounding villages outside the city, who were in a hurry to enter the city to trade, earn some Fuli copper coins, and buy some food or something to subsidize the family, this was the best time for us to go out.

There were already a dozen soldiers in charge of the interrogation under the open gate, and they just felt that they were idle, standing on both sides of the gate, talking privately, and watching the passers-by from time to time.

"Follow me, as long as we get out of this gate, then we will be free!" I instructed them, and I couldn't help but quicken my pace. I was almost at the gates, and my heart was pounding, and I felt like I was a thief. We went down to the city gate and took another sneak peek at the soldiers leaning against the wall, so they didn't pay attention to us.

"It's okay, it's okay!" I breathed a long sigh of relief, thinking that Levi woke up and found that I had already run away with Ana, whether he would be so angry that he rolled on the bed, haha, I was excited when I thought about it!

"Hey, stop, stop!"

Suddenly there was a call from behind me, and the hairs on my body stood on end, and I didn't dare to look back, for fear that they were coming to arrest us.

"Stomp, stomp..."

A series of footsteps came from behind me, and when it was over, a wave of despair welled up in my heart, and I couldn't help but clench my hand holding Ana, and my palms were full of sweat.

I saw three heavily armed soldiers come to the gate of the city, and they pushed away all the pedestrians who stood in the way, including the three of us.

"The army has an order, now we must check every passerby!"

The soldier looked back at everyone and gave the order, certain that they didn't know us.

"Don't leave anything to chance, for the captain of the guard of Marshal Aetius, His Excellency Levi, will come in person."

Levi, ha, that guy's wine sobers up so fast! Faced with a crowd, I thought of a good way!
