Chapter Twenty-Seven: Confession of Danger
When Remio pounced, Dmitry was prepared.
He took Nahi behind him to protect him, and whispered to comfort him: "Don't be afraid, I won't let you have any trouble." ”
Then, instead of retreating, he rushed straight towards Remio, who was as red as a beast, and fell on his side at the moment of the collision, and tripped Remio firmly.
The tall body slammed into the ground with a dull roar, and the earth and stones flew and crackled on the trunks and blades of the trees.
This kind of stumbling hurt almost zero for the vampire, and Remio quickly got up, and he was already in a rampage, and he was choked by the anger that was enough, and his attention was all attracted by Dmitry, who had caused him to stumble, and he roared angrily and began the second round of attack.
Dmitry watched Remio approach with cold eyes, and his anger was almost irrepressible, that is, he almost hurt Nehi, that is, he almost caused himself to lose his beloved again!
The murderous intent of the person on the other side was strong, which aroused Remio's mania even more, and the remaining human blood in his body boiled, and the iron fist went straight to Dmitry's face with the speed and strength that even vampires feared, but it only penetrated the wind-like afterimage, and couldn't help but smash into the trunk of the tree in front of him.
Bang! With a muffled sound, the spruce trees that were seven or eight stories high were smashed out of a half-fist-deep pit, and the treetops that were extremely high above the ground swayed violently, and the soil at the roots of the trees was slightly loosened, so that they were not pushed down by the roots.
But at the moment, no one cared about this unlucky tree, and the two figures were entangled in the blink of an eye. The speed and strength of the vampire made this square inch of mountain forest instantly blow a tornado with amazing destructive power, and from time to time it sent out a series of car crash-like shocks.
The newborn lacks experience and brains, Remio stumbles, attacks completely by brute force, and is not good at dodging, several times he was almost twisted his neck, the instinct to survive made him gradually a little timid, the footsteps secretly retreated during the fight, but he was reluctant to have a delicious prey in the distance, a careless was overturned to the ground, and the neck was held by a cold and fierce hand like an eagle's claw, tightened...
"Dmitry!"
"Dmitry!"
Two exclamations rang out at the same time.
Nahi had recognized the raider as Remio, a new member of the Dio family. Newborns are already difficult to control themselves, and they can't die if they go berserk for a while, not to mention that Remio is a relative.
On the other side, Selena and Karen arrived together. Ignoring Dmitry's horrific expression, Selena rushed up and attacked him to restrain Remio's right arm.
Dmitry's movements paused, and Nehi's voice woke him up from his tyranny. The anger subsided, and fear came flooding in, and he dodged Selena's fist sideways, throwing Remio out of the way.
Turning around and walking a few steps in front of Nai, holding her thin shoulders with both hands, her eyes wandering with a delicate and sweet face like petals, she cherished it over and over again, sighed, and hugged Naxi into her arms without refusal.
"Stop scaring me like that!" The tone was a little more fragile than that of the frightened Nahi.
Not far away, Remio was helped up by Selena and stared at her in a daze, the green tendons bulged out by the rampage slowly calmed down, and the unbridled reason gradually returned. The "sister", who was already a head shorter than him, was nervously observing his state, and Remio pursed his lips, his eyes bottomless.
Here, Cullen anxiously circled over, wanting to see how Nahi was doing.
"Oh my God, Nahi, are you alright, are you hurt?"
"Thankfully, Dmitry arrived in time, but my baby Nahi must have been scared."
"How can you run out so suddenly! I'm scared to death. ”
The first time I've seen you in hand-to-hand combat, it's still a vampire version with double speed and force Max, and Nehi's face is still a little pale. But she tried to smile and respond to her family's concerns one by one.
Dmitry silently stepped aside, watching Nahi being comforted by his family, his eyes were filled with chagrin, jealousy, hope, and despair, how much he wished that he was the most qualified person to be the first to hug and comfort her, how much he wished that Nehi could look at him at this moment and smile so softly at him.
But it's impossible, tonight's meeting was his desperate gamble, but Nahi didn't even give him a chance to officially confess, and even ran here alone because of his plausible words.
Bitterness spreads from the bottom of the heart, like a vine soaked in venom, climbing over the heart, stretching along the veins and tendons to the limbs, and in an instant it flourishes, drowning the body and soul together. The pupils that were obviously warm colors were hollow and dim, but they still stubbornly stared at the shadow, stubbornly waiting for a judgment.
Edward's ears twitched slightly, he glanced back, sighed, and turned to pull Rabela. Only then did everyone notice Dmitry's expression. What else don't you understand, sigh silently and get out of the way.
Naihi's glassy eyes left a little frightened, and he looked up, as if after a long time. Dmitry was in a trance, but for a moment, he seemed to stand in the light and shadow at the junction of his past and present lives, and he was frozen in place by heavy affection and remorse, and those pictures that he wanted to deliberately forget or cherish his collection swarmed in, scrambling to squeeze into his mind, frame by frame was the appearance of Nahi, which coincided with the figure in front of him.
"Naihi, I'm sorry..."
I'm sorry for going against your will in my previous life, I'm sorry for making you sad and sad, I'm sorry for causing you to lose your life.
With difficulty speaking, Dmitry felt a little sad and lonely in his heart, "It's really not a good time, but I still want to tell you,
I love you-".
Choked up and let the words stop in his throat, Dmitry realized that he was actually crying, his whole body was tense to the point of spasming, trying his best to stabilize himself, and the tone of his voice was still trembling, "Can you give me the honor of always being by your side." ”
Such careful, fragile, and humble words were like a heavy hammer, smashing fiercely on Naihi's heart, smashing all the hesitation and confusion of the past few days.
It seems that Dmitry was really frightened today, no longer hinting vaguely, no longer tactfully tentative, and for the first time the bold embrace across the line made her feel the importance of the singer intuitively rather than imaginarily. With such a sudden and irresistible emotion, Dmitry's request was only to allow him to accompany her.
So what are you waiting for? Since she is the only one who controls Dmitry's fate, an unchangeable destiny, and she does not reject it, and even rejoices faintly, then why resist. There is no need to force himself to accept it all, allowing him to approach is already a great accomplishment for him.
Thinking of this, Naxi lowered her head, and was a little annoyed by the entanglement she had had. A shadow fell in front of him, and Dmitry had already walked in front of her at some point, and one step away was his usual restrained forbearance.
"You don't have to answer in a hurry, I-" He seemed to be afraid of her embarrassment, and his tone was a little anxious.
Seeing that he had misunderstood, Nahi quickly shook his head, and when he raised his eyes, there were tears hanging from his cheeks.
A delicate hand caressed his cheek, and Dmitry heard only a sigh in reply, "It's my pleasure."
Much later, at the wedding of Nahi and Dmitry, when distant relatives of the Karen family curiously gossip about the love history of the two, they ask Nehi when he decided to accept this "big iceberg". Nahi's mouth said forgiveness, but his mind flashed back to the dim night of a few years ago, the mountains and forests before dawn, and the eyes that were instantly lit up by his vague promise.
Nehi couldn't describe Dmitry's expression at that time, as if crying and laughing, as if he was living after the catastrophe, his excessively tense muscles trembling, and his eyes burst with light, as if he was burning his soul.
But Nahi remembered the mood clearly, she knew that she had made the right decision, and the feeling of being needed, looked up to, desired, cherished was too clear and intense, her heart was full of almost sinking to the bottom, and she was so light that she flew over the sky. Is this love? Feeling safe, satisfied, and even a little proud, feeling down-to-earth, gratifying, and a little sour.
The man in front of him was so excited that he didn't know what to do, and his hand was raised and lowered, as if she were a delicate and fragile porcelain doll, and he only dared to look greedily at the patrol with his eyes, and finally gently covered Naihi's hand that was still on his cheek, and pulled the treasure he had searched for two lifetimes into his arms.
So well-behaved, really well-behaved, the little hand quietly pulled the corner of his clothes, and shrank in front of his chest trustingly, letting his arms tighten more and more. Nahi's body temperature is very high, of course, compared to vampires, holding it in his arms is like a small sun, fumigating Dmitry's cold arms with a warm fragrance.
But the little girl suddenly thought of something, and raised her head sharply, struggling to look around, as if she finally remembered that her family was still nearby. Dmitry chuckled, relaxed his strength, raised his hand to hook her little nose, and saw that Nahi's face was red with embarrassment, and hurriedly reassured, "They are already gone." ”
Sure enough, the figures of the Cullens were gone, and even Remio, who had been beaten by Dmitry just now, was nowhere to be found, and Nahi breathed a sigh of relief, and his little hands fanned to cool down his hot cheeks.
Dmitry looked at Nahi dotingly and asked softly, "I'll send you home?" ”
Nahi took out her phone and lit up the screen, it was already past four o'clock in the morning, and it would be dawn in a while. Her eyes lit up, "I've always wanted to watch the sunrise here, it's better to hit the sun than to choose a day, just today!" ”
"Here?" Dmitry was a little puzzled.
"Uh-huh! This is my secret base, the view is superb, come with me! Nahi turned around and tried to climb to the top of the tree by himself as usual, but he was held by the waist, and his body was light, and in a blink of an eye, he jumped onto the first branch of the spruce. Ha, yes, there are vampires like fast vehicles, why do you have to climb trees by yourself.
Dmitry took Nehi to the top of the ladder and carefully sat her on a thicker branch.
"Look!" Naki pointed excitedly.
Dmitry stood on a twig a little lower, grabbed the trunk of the tree with one hand to fix his figure, and took Nahi's shoulder with the other, making a safe arc and blocking out the cold night wind. Making sure that Nehian was safe under his protection, he followed the direction of her finger and looked at each other.
