Chapter 17: The Nightmare of Cocooning Yourself
Li Yi looked up at the sky: "It seems that we have to speed up our pace." โ
At this time, speeding up the pace could not catch up with the speed of the rain falling, Rao is walking briskly for about half a stick of incense, and the sky was still crackling with bean-sized raindrops.
This time the rain was different from the previous ones, it fell so heavily that there was no time to dodge, and it fell on the head.
Konoha's hair was already wet, and the rain was running down his cheeks. Li Yi hurriedly looked back and forth, and there was no place to hide, so he had to cover his palms on top of her head, and the two of them trotted forward.
However, after a short walk, the rain was so heavy that it was almost impossible to see the road ahead. The mountain road was steep and had to be stopped. The two were drenched, their hair was disheveled, and they were in a mess.
Li Yi saw a big tree in front of her and pulled her to run under the tree, but the pouring rain still leaked through the gaps in the leaves. The cold wind blew, and Konoha couldn't help but clench his arms and shiver.
At the end of August, the weather has not really started to get cold, Konoha is thinly dressed, and the soaked goose-yellow shirt is tightly attached to the body, through the middle coat, the white greasy shoulders and the emerald wrap chest are faintly visible, looking at the chest is the chest and waist is the waist, outlining the exquisite figure.
Li Yi looked at her and couldn't help but feel his face warm and heartbeat. Konoha noticed his burning gaze and uncomfortably folded his arms to his chest, adding to the embarrassment.
Li Yi coughed lightly, looked away, and took off his robe and draped it over Konoha. His robe was actually soaked, and it didn't do anything to keep him warm, but it was okay to cover it.
Looking at Konoha shivering, he felt distressed. She's a girl's house, so I don't know if I'll get seriously ill when I go back like this.
Konoha suddenly felt warm on his body, and Li Yi hugged her from behind, protected her in his arms, and blocked most of the wind and rain.
Everything around seemed to be silent suddenly, except for the sound of rain ticking on the leaves, and the subtle feeling had never been stronger.
Konoha felt his body stiffen.
Where her skin touched him, it was as stiff as if it were wrapped in heavy plaster. In fact, she didn't really touch him, and there were several layers of wet silk fabricโbut she still felt her face crimson and hot like fire.
The nape of her neck was now resting against his slightly heaving chest, her bun touching the skin of his cheeks. She could feel his breath spraying gently on her sideburns, and she could almost feel the hard lines of his arms on her back.
The arc of Li Yi's chin was against Konoha's forehead, and the skin of both of them was wet, like two otters. The rain ran down his chin, all the way down her cheeks, and finally from the collar into her chest, carrying his body heat. In this way, the two of them shared this narrow space, facing the dense rain curtain together, and the same drop of water flowed on their skin.
She didn't know how long it was before she heard her name called. She was startled, and hurriedly wanted to push away the man who was holding her behind her, but the arm holding her suddenly became very strong, like the strong branches of an old tree firmly fixed her in place, unable to move.
And the third brother Guo Yan appeared in front of him abruptly, as if he had come to witness her most self-embarrassment moment.
Guo Yan stretched out the umbrella in his hand and handed it to Li Yi. When Li Yi reached out to pick up the umbrella, Guo Yan easily scooped up the soaked leaves. Konoha was still wearing Li Yi's clothes, which were also damp.
Guo Yan frowned, ripped off Li Yi's wet clothes, and returned them to him, then took off his robe and wrapped it around Konoha, the whole action was done in one go, without the slightest pause. Konoha was so cold that his teeth were fighting, and he could barely speak, leaving him to fiddle.
"Let's go home."
Li Yi's face was also flushed with a strange flush, and his starry eyes flashed with rippling brilliance. Konoha raised his head slightly, and between the intertwined pupils, he looked at her deeply, with a lot of indescribable meaning.
Konoha avoided his gaze and turned his head to look at Guo Fu, Guo Ju suddenly picked up Konoha horizontally, Konoha was startled, and responded vaguely: "I...... I'll walk ...... myself."
"The road is slippery." Guo Yan said briefly, and glanced at Li Yi again, and Li Yi tacitly propped the umbrella on top of the two of them.
Guo Yan's arm strength is not small, and he doesn't feel hard at all holding the thin Konoha, and he still walks fast. His arms were generous and comfortable, and Konoha fell asleep unconsciously.
Konoha saw himself standing in the wilderness, looking at the mysterious palace in the mist. The palace was majestic and splendid that she had never seen before.
The eaves of the owl kiss are high in the mist, the black glazed tiles, the green ridges, the white walls, the ochre yellow arches, thick and majestic.
The palace, which seemed to rise in the distance she had never been, was vague and full of temptation. But it seemed to be so close to her, she seemed to have always known that the carved white marble fence on the platform was a pattern between the relief fish and lotus leaves.
Wearing a red and white striped breast-length skirt, the palace maid swayed and carried the exquisite bronze palace lamp slowly walked through the white marble floor tiles, and disappeared lightly behind the vermilion columns.
She was vaguely aware that she was dreaming, but she didn't have the strength to struggle, so she let herself slip into the deep, sticky dream.
Suddenly, she felt someone breathing in the back of her neck, and she somehow remembered the feeling of Li Chun talking behind her ear on the steps that day, and she was tingling and itching. She didn't dare to look back, but she couldn't help but turn back after all.
Isn't it Li Chun, he was so close to her, smiling and breathing into the back of her neck.
She tried to get out of the way, but the wilderness in front of her became a wall, an impenetrable, cold marble wall, and he lifted an arm against the wall, enclosing her in a small space where she could not move.
She couldn't help but scream: "Li Chun, you are crazy! โ
He still didn't get out of the way, but buried his head and chuckled: "Isn't it crazy, Konoha, I'm crazy for you, and I can't care about the holy decree." โ
Konoha looked at him in a daze, lost in his beautiful smile for a moment.
But he seemed to see Li Yi on the side, so he came to his senses and thought of his identity and situation, "Yi, save me." โ
But Li Yi looked at her steadily, his eyes were so cold and calm that they seemed to penetrate her soul: "You are cocooning yourself, how can I save you?" โ
Hoisted by his own petard?
Konoha was stunned, and then calmed down, Li Chun was gone, and said gloomily, It's okay now, it's okay, I'll kill him.
Konoha looked down, and sure enough, he saw a cold dagger in his hand, still dripping with crimson blood.
Konoha was startled and screamed.
"Konoha, Konoha!"
Someone called her name and shook her awake with all his might. She was finally dragged out of her nightmare, dripping in cold sweat and in shock.
"Konoha, Konoha, wake up, I'm here."
