Chapter Twenty-Six: A Snowy Night
Although he reprimanded Fang Yi fiercely on his face, so that he would not lose the upper hand in momentum, as time passed, An Youran's heart gradually began to feel uneasy. Due to the harsh winter and the harsh climate, the brave and warlike Rongliao allies could only be trapped in this northern town called Boma to recuperate and wait for the next year to fight again. And Li Yan has been busy with affairs since he entered the city, and he has not seen him for half a month. Even during this period, she also went to the main garden many times to look for him, but she was either told that the prince had not returned from going out, or was turned away by the guards and soldiers, and over time, she had no choice but to give up. Contrary to her isolated situation, she often heard the news that Lu Qian and Li Yan were traveling together, and this county lord was not a useless straw bale woman who only knew what Xiao Yue was greedy for. It is said that she is very skilled, and she often charges forward when she kills the enemy, and she has the potential to not let the women shave their eyebrows. Although he has not participated in many battles, he has won praise in the army, and many Rongnan generals have regarded him as a candidate for the future master.
The usual calmness seemed to be eroded by this cold night, An leisurely put down the medical book in his hand that had not turned a page for a long time, pushed open the door and walked out. The biting cold wind was really like a remedy for awakening the mind, and as soon as she took a breath, she immediately felt cold and abnormal, and when she sat down under the porch, she was shocked to find that she was white when she raised her eyes.
Half-leaning on the pillar, An leisurely stretched out his hand, letting the snowflakes flying with the wind fall into the palm of his hand, the cool touch seemed to go straight from the palm of his hand to the heart, and after melting, it slowly spread throughout the body, and even the pupils of his eyes were flooded with a thick air......
It's snowing......
An leisurely half-squinted eyes looked up at the snowfall from the night sky, the deep black and pure white, intertwined into the most magnificent scenery in the world, beautiful people are fascinated, psychedelic people are intoxicated, and even the memories that have been sealed for a long time have begun to stir and surge because of the beauty in front of them......
This...... It must have been the first snow she had in this strange world, right?
Zeng naively thought that Rongnan, who was like spring all year round, would be able to help him bury the white nightmare forever, but he didn't expect that it turned out to be ...... Buried, not gone, it is still in place, existing...... Waiting...... When the shackles of memory are opened again, the pain, the injury, will sweep in like a whirlwind, even more severe, more heart-wrenching......
A faint smile blurred on his thin lips...... It's also such a snowy night, right? She was cheated of everything her parents left behind by her uncle! All the deposits, all the belongings, and the home that carries all her happiness. In the cold wind, she went where she could think of it, and begged for relatives and friends who could be found, but despite her bitter pleading and hoarseness, she never got a place to stay......
Maybe the night was too cold at that time, or maybe the pain was too bone-chilling, so it left the root of the disease in An Youran's heart from then on. The root of the disease called the place of shelter, the root of the disease that tormented her for a whole time, the root of the disease that could not be eliminated even by death, the indelible root of the disease that she thought would follow life after life!
However...... All this suffering is redeemed by meeting a man!
Although that person has a stinky face all day long, a very bad temper and a perverse personality, it is true that he is not a good type. But he will not hesitate to fall off the cliff in order to protect her, abandon prosperity in order to protect her, and even more will sacrifice his life to save her and go deep into the enemy camp. So I don't know when, that man named Li Yan has already unknowingly become a 'place of accommodation' for An leisurely! Since then, no matter how strong the wind and waves are, there will be someone to shelter her from the wind and rain; No matter how difficult the world is, there will be a pure land that belongs to her! In this vast world, she will no longer be alone......
But...... If this happiness is about to dissipate, where should she go in the future?
There seemed to be a faint pain somewhere in the body, and An Youran only felt that his breath was suffocating, and his whole body was weak and he was about to collapse. At this moment, a pair of powerful arms came out from behind in time to hold her firmly, and the familiar temperature and the cold fragrance of the secretion were like an incredible miracle, which made her feel uneasy.
"Why are you sitting here alone?!" Pulling back the little hand that had been frozen and bruised in mid-air and covering it in his hand, Li Yan frowned and said angrily, "Why are your hands so cold?!" What about Satsuki? Did I send them here to play?! Someone ...... coming."
"It's not! Xiaoyue, they usually take good care of me......" Afraid that because of his own whim, he would not help others, An Youran hurriedly interrupted, "Today I want to enjoy the snow, but I am afraid that they will come to obstruct me, so I deliberately took them away." Master, don't punish you. ”
After listening to her explanation, the gloom on Li Yan's face eased slightly, and he reached out to caress his leisurely white cheeks, "I knew that your girl would never settle down today!" If you can enjoy the snow, you can enjoy the snow, and you should do what you can! What kind of physique are you? Running outside in the middle of the night to get frozen, don't you even want to die?! ”
Although the words are unchanged and cold, the worry in the amber eyes is real and cannot be hidden, this kind of expression is probably not noticed by Li Yan himself, right? An leisurely looked back at this man who looked like an immortal, with a thousand words and mixed feelings, but he couldn't say anything, and finally smiled after being stunned for a long time.
Like a lazy kitten, he bured his head in Li Yan's arms, and after finding a comfortable position to settle down, An leisurely replied sweetly, "Actually, I didn't want to stay for a long time, but this snow is so beautiful that I can't forget the time before I know it." Master, I promise that I will never do it again next time, so don't be angry, okay? ”
How much is left after such a well-behaved coquette? Poor Li Yan was originally going to teach An Youran a harsh lesson, but he only got up and then stopped. With a long sigh, His Royal Highness the Prince of the World was really helpless like never before, "You girl, if I don't come tonight, don't you have to sit here for a night?!" But ......"
As he spoke, he tightened his arms and forcibly pushed An Youran into his arms for a few more points, and Li Yan took advantage of the situation to put his chin on the top of her head, "Your reaction is really exactly the same as I expected!" When I saw the first snow in the Dawn Valley, I wondered what that silly girl would be like if she were to see such a scene. I usually like crazy people, maybe I want to do something stupid! I must be there then, watch her, and don't make a mess! Because, no one in this world can control her except me! And more importantly, her expression full of joy, except for me, Li Yan...... No one is allowed to see it! ”
"You ......," the lowered eyelashes cast a rich shadow on the clear face, and An smiled leisurely in the hazy lightness, "Are you sure that I will like snow?" ”
"Of course!" Between the ups and downs of the words, the knuckled fingers slowly covered the eyes hidden in the dark, and Li Yan bowed his head and replied softly in An Youran's ear, "Because I am with you, even if you want to cry, you don't have to endure it anymore, so I know that you will definitely like it!" ”
"Yes," it may be that the fingertips on the eyes are too blazing and need to be slightly neutralized, and when the two lines of crystal tears run down An Ran's face, silently sliding, the original sad smile on his lips is finally replaced by a heartfelt smile, "I also think that I will like snow from now on." Thank you, Li Yan! ”
