Chapter26
I looked at him dumbfounded, is he crazy?! The feeling of dampness and heat in my hands made me know that none of this was a hallucination! Shaking his head violently, he instinctively pushed him away!
Xi Xichen staggered back a step back, leaning against the wall, the tattered clothes, the blood oozing, even if they were separated from a distance, they could still clearly feel the fishy sweetness and warmth, the confused black hair covered his eyes, and a deep melancholy was hidden, such Xi Xichen had an indescribable fragility!
The air condensed, the two looked at each other, the tense body trembled and ached, and the unknown emotions poured in, piercing my nerves like a sharp blade!
The blood-stained dagger slipped down, and I swerved into the depths of the tunnel! Why did he do this, ridiculous, ridiculous!!
The tunnel was completely dark, and I felt like I had fallen into a bottomless pit, my heavy legs running forward desperately, and the wind in my ears seemed to drive me away.
Anxious footsteps, a stumbling and falling to the ground, knees and hearts and hands slammed on the stone path, the hot and numb feeling instantly spread throughout the body, and the heavy gasp seemed disorderly and dripping in this closed space - why did you come here! Why is it here...... Why ...... It's messy! It's all messed up! Xi Xichen, how cruel you are - when I have made up my mind to forget all those pasts, appear, in such a way, violent and extreme destruction!!
…… When I came back, I only saw Xi Xichen leaning against the wall, sitting on the ground dejectedly, his arms on his bent knees, and his white shirt showing red and demonic under the unknown light. I found that my voice was a little dry, "Didn't you say you were going to take me out!" So what does it mean now, repentant? "I hate myself for going and coming back, and I hate myself for being influenced by him!
The clear eyes slowly opened, and when they saw me, a trace of crystal flashed, and then they converged without waves, but the opening was gentle as they had never been, "...... I'll take you out. He stretched out his left hand that was not stained with blood and put it on my cheek, "An Ji ......" The torch that fell on the ground was only a dying breath, and the wisp of fire flickered down, and finally died out, and the boundless darkness filled this unknown secret passage again, "I will never regret it...... to you" muttered away, and the cold lips caressed and rubbed like a feather.
"You ......"
"Ann...... I want to kiss you, I want to ......" There was a slight unnaturalness in the gentle voice, as if shyness.
When I was stunned, Xi Xichen ended this gentle kiss like water, stood up with a little difficulty, re-lit the torch, and put his pale and slender fingers on the broken wall.
"You, wound ......" I stood up a little confused, his behavior was completely beyond the scope of what I could analyze, and stroked the corners of my mouth, which was a little warm, and a sneer crossed my lips, but this time it was self-deprecating.
"I'm fine, I'm sorry, I scared you." Erya's voice comforted me with a gentle, indifferent smile.
I pursed my lips and stopped answering.
After a short rest, he pulled me on, and we really couldn't stop here longer.
"In medieval Europe, this kind of secret passage ......" the back of his hand covered the corners of his mouth and coughed weakly for a while before he said slowly, "In addition to escaping, this kind of secret passage is also often used to keep some collections and prisoners secret." In order to prevent the enemy from easily chasing after them, there will be traps, and there are also permanent forks in the road to confuse. ”
The soft but clear explanation was to tell me that he wasn't going to die yet, and without further ado, we didn't seem to consciously want to talk about the madness of the previous moment. I told myself that I was just scared, afraid of his madness......
Along the way, Xi Xichen kept repeating this "difficult" type of temptation, from the overall structure to the small ornamentation, from the movement of the air flow to the growth of mosses, from the dripping of water to the echo of sound...... I've never been so calm in front of him. There is no impatience to resist this seemingly meaningless caution. And a few hours ago, Xi Xichen opened a door on a completely unrequited wall in an unknown way. Like the unthinkable idea of lighting a fire with a sapphire, Xi Xichen always seems to be able to use the only objects around him to achieve his own goals. As if there was nothing in the world that he did not know and could not do.
Dizzy for a while, his eyes blurred again, and he bit his lower lip fiercely, the previous smell of blood in his mouth had not dissipated, and a salty smell filled his mouth again.
When I was trapped, I always felt that the time was extended indefinitely, and although it should not have been a day, it seemed that I had suffered three days and three nights of hunger and thirst without food and water.
The warm liquid is fed into the mouth, with a crisp mint flavor.
The idiom "mutual affection" appeared in my mind, and I wanted to resist but found that my hands and feet did not listen to the control of my brain, just like being haunted by a nightmare, thinking that I was awake but still in a dream.
The sky was gray and blue, and the curtain of rain obscured the road ahead, so that the cold of the shrunken clothes was impregnated from the soaked clothes to the bone marrow, and the sudden warmth and dryness were there, and then, when I woke up, it was a snow-white ceiling......
The covered black suit fell as he got up, there was no skylight, no ceiling, and what came into view was the mottled bluestone corridor and the ambiguous firelight.
Everything just now was like a dream...... It does seem like a dream......
Xi Xichen knelt beside him, his eyes were undisguised anxiety, his right hand hung down at his side, and his left hand that was holding my hair was halfway out, frozen in the air in embarrassment, without the cover of the suit, the crimson peony on the white shirt was more clearly presented in front of my eyes.
It is undeniable that he has a good-looking skin, an angular face, a tall nose bridge, and a handsome silhouette reflected on the stone wall behind him. But there is a god-like indifference in that handsomeness, and a sacred and inviolable arrogance. Finding that I couldn't take my eyes off it, Xi Xichen turned his face sideways and coughed lightly, like a child who was caught on the spot for doing something bad, his face was slightly crimson reflected by the firelight.
