Chapter 154. forbear
It took me a great deal to get Alyssa back to her tent, and to lie to her maids that she was drunk, and to run away whether they believed it or not.
The climate of the grassland is much cooler than that of the Central Plains, and even winter clothes are required at night.
It is said that the starry sky of the grassland is the most beautiful, and I can't miss it, so I put on a fur coat and went out of the account.
Walking out of the area where the felt tents are concentrated, the field of vision is broadened, and there is really a feeling of "taking the sky as the cover and the earth as the house".
The wind blows, and the blades of grass rustle, which is refreshing.
Suddenly, I felt that someone was following. When I turned around, I only saw a few scattered large tents, which should be the residences of the Juyuan guards.
I thought I was too careful, so I kept walking.
After walking for a while, a tall mound appeared not far ahead. Without much hesitation, I walked over and climbed up.
The mound was high but not steep, so it didn't take much effort to reach the top, but I didn't want to have another person on the top.
He leaned over the ridge of the mound, heard a noise, and turned his head to look at me.
"Why are you everywhere?" The voice is lazy.
"I didn't know you were here!"
Although I was disgusted, I still found a flat place to sit down next to Ah Ran.
He sat up straighter, and said like an uncle: "The piano is good!" The tone was still slightly teasing.
I was used to it and ignored him.
After a moment of silence, Ah Ran hesitated and asked, "Do you have a favorite at today's dinner?" ”
"Huh?"
I didn't expect him to ask that all of a sudden.
"I'm asking you, at the dinner party, is there a man you can see?"
His expression was serious, but his eyes were inexplicably lonely.
"Of course...... No! My vision is high! How can you just take a fancy to it? ”
I pretended to be relaxed, but my heart was heavy.
"You ...... in your heart Or is it just that person, isn't it? ”
My heart skipped a beat, and I pretended to be confused:
"What this person, that person...... When did you speak so slurred? ”
He looked at me for a moment, and then said:
"If there's anything you like, let me know."
I chuckled.
"Tell you what you can do? Could it be that you want to tie people up? ”
"It's not impossible."
I quipped him, "When have you been so nice to me?" How did I not know? ”
"There's so much you don't know......"
His words seemed to have another meaning, but I couldn't hear it, but I didn't want to ask either.
felt that the atmosphere was a little dull, so he teased him: "Are you so anxious to marry me?" Hate me like that? ”
"You know I'm not."
"I don't think so. I guess...... You should want me to marry as late as possible, or even don't want me to get married. Am I right? ”
I said, subconsciously looking at him, but I didn't want him to avoid my gaze.
"Huh? What are you hiding? I guessed the central thoughts, the heart is empty?
Want to know how I guessed? ”
This self-righteous guy actually has a weak heart?
"How did you guess?"
"It's easy! I had a best friend when I was in another world, and her father wished that she would not marry for the rest of her life and support him for the rest of her life. You should be in the same mood as his father, right? ”
"There is such a father?"
He was thoughtful.
"Absolutely! In fact, many fathers are reluctant to marry their daughters.
So...... If I don't marry, will you support me for the rest of my life? ”
"Nonsense."
He said this, but his tone did not mean rebuke.
"You don't want me to rely on you, do you? I'm very good at raising and not picky at all! Besides, I'm really thinking about you! ”
"What do you mean?" He looked back at me.
"You shouldn't be willing to let me get married, right?
After all, it took so many years, so much effort, and even the throne to get me back.
It's only been more than five years since I returned to you, and the days we've been together day and night together are less than seven years combined, how can you be willing to let me get married so soon? ”
I thought he would scold me for being narcissistic, but I didn't want him to be silent for a long time before he spoke again: "Why don't you want to get married?" ”
"What's so good about getting married?
It seems that there is something to rely on, but after getting married, there are a lot of troubles for parents-in-law, sister-in-law, and brother-in-law, so it is better not to marry! It's better to be by your side, don't you say? ”
"Then I...... What if I can't stay with you for that long? ”
He turned his face sideways and I couldn't see his expression.
I frowned.
"What do you mean? You're going to leave me? Then I won't!
If you leave me behind, sooner or later you will regret it!
When the time comes, if you really abandon this throne, I won't go back with you!" ”
Hearing me say this, Ah Ran's lips straightened, and his expression sank.
I'm a little weak-hearted.
"Hey...... You...... Angry?
I'm just kidding you, who told you to leave me? ”
I shook his arm, trying to make him happy: "Hey, do you know, in another world, there is a special saying to describe the feeling of your sister being abducted by other men, especially vivid!" ”
"Really? What do you mean? ”
He was a little absent-minded.
"It's called: The cabbage you worked so hard to raise was suddenly arched by a pig one day!
Hahaha...... Isn't it very vivid? ”
He curled his lips. "It's cold, let's go back."
"You laugh! Aren't you angry? ”
I looked into his eyes, but he stood up. "Let's go!"
When I got back to the tent, I asked him to go to bed early, and then I picked the curtain and was about to enter the tent, when I suddenly heard: "Hey, cabbage!" ”
I was stunned for a while, and I was not angry: "Don't call it that!" ”
"It's cold on the grassland, I asked someone to send a hot water bladder to your tent, don't forget to use it."
I let out an "oh" and smiled brightly: "Thank you, brother!" ”
There was something strange on his face. "Go for it......"
Is he used to listening to me call him Ah Ran?
I thought about it, but I didn't forget to say, "Well, then I'll go to sleep." ”
******
For the next half month, Ah Ran was talking about business with the king of Yuan, and I was a little bored, but the little prince came to look for me a few times.
At first, I was just a guide, taking me to several beautiful places nearby.
He was gracious, and I couldn't refuse. But it didn't take long for him to confess, his pale amber eyes sparkling, waiting for my answer.
I looked at him for a moment, seriously and politely refused.
It's not because he's bad, it's because I don't have that mental strength anymore.
He couldn't tell the frustration when he heard it, but I never said yes to his subsequent offers.
It's getting colder and colder recently, and the maid is intimate and sends milk wine to warm up.
I didn't plan to drink it, after all, I knew that my wine was really not very good, and I was afraid that I would make a joke and embarrass Ah Ran. But I still couldn't beat the cold, so I couldn't help but drink some.
The milk wine has a strong frankincense aroma, and the wine is very strong, and it only took two glasses to get on the head, but it was really warm.
My brain was drowsy, and I felt that the big tent was a little stuffy, so I opened the curtain to breathe outside.
I walked aimlessly, unable to make out the direction, and even my vision was a little blurry, with a ghost.
Reason tells you that you can't go far if you drink too much.
I want to go back, but I don't know which way to go back.
I was in a hurry, and suddenly I fell down in the air!
After a bout of dizziness, my head buzzed. My brain can't even turn around: where did I fall? …… Will there be big pits in the grassland? ……
There was a bright light shining down, and I looked up and saw that it was the moon. It was a little dark, and I was curled up against the wall of the pit.
This pit is so deep, will anyone come to my rescue? If no one saves me, won't I freeze to death here?
My eyelids were so heavy that I couldn't help but close them.
Suddenly, I felt a noise around me, and I raised my eyelids to see clearly. But it just so happened that the moon hid in the clouds, and I didn't see anything clearly, only feeling the heat emanating from the person in front of me.
Gradually, the heat became more and more intense.
Did this man drink like me? Otherwise, how could it be so hot?
He seemed to get a little closer to me, and his exhaled breath hit my face, and there was no smell of alcohol.
I rubbed my eyes, but I couldn't see clearly, and wanted to ask who he was, but my throat felt like there was a fire burning in my throat, and I couldn't make a sound at all.
There was no other sound around, so the suppressed tremors in the man's throat and heavy breathing were clearly audible.
Is it a man? Why is he here? Did you also fall off your footing?
It's a little uncomfortable to sit in the same position for a long time. I moved, but I forgot that there was someone in front of me, and my lips touched him.
It seems like...... It's his jaw.
I was a little slow to react, but he hurriedly dodged away, as if he was a little flustered.
Judging by this reaction, he is not a bad person......
I was still thinking about it, but I felt the man come over again, and hit my forehead, breathing even faster than before.
Before I could figure out his intentions, he grabbed the back of the neck.
His skin was hot, like he had a fever.
His big hand clasped my neck in his direction, and his hand trembled faintly.
Suddenly, the tip of my nose touched his, and his movements stopped, but his hand did not let go, as if he was hesitating and struggling.
Who is he? Looking at his actions, it was obvious that he wanted to kiss me.
He knew that I was powerless to resist after drinking, but he still hesitated.
He...... Is it someone I know?
Who do I know who is interested in me and is so cautious?
Ling Niankong? ……
It shouldn't be him, this is the grassland, and he won't follow him at such a distance.
And he never restrained me, which time didn't he apologize after he finished it first?
Who would that be? Is that the little prince? ……
I remembered the darkness in his eyes when he was rejected by me, and I thought it should be the little prince.
Thinking about it, I leaned forward, but I didn't control my balance and threw myself into his arms.
I felt that something was wrong with this, so I wanted to get up from him.
But because of drunkenness, I struggled for a long time, and I didn't get up after rubbing in his arms for a long time.
His throat twitched, and he made a muffled sound, and his body stiffened like a stone, motionless, as if restrained.
I didn't know my mind, and I didn't get out of his arms after wasting my strength for a long time, so I gave up, and said in a dumb voice:
"Will you take me out? I don't want to be stuck in this ......."
