The wind and rain are getting more and more urgent.

Standing by the pavilion, we were already completely exposed to the raging storm, and the downpour was falling, and Huang Tianba was soon drenched.

And I, who was hugging him behind me, although most of the wind and rain were blocked by him, I still couldn't help but feel the coldness of the rain, and the trembling of the body in my arms, and his body temperature slowly evaporated through his clothes, as if the last bit of vitality had dissipated in this way.

I remembered what the two maids had said to me when I first came yesterday—

"Madame, have you ever seen a man who hasn't laughed for seven years?"

"He has been in Shengjing for so many years, and he has not had a single day, and he has had a better time."

"No matter how well the prince was to him, no matter how well we people took care of him, he never had the slightest joy. The only time he's happy—"

"It's when it's snowing."

"It snows a lot in the winter in Katsukyo, and every time that happens, he walks into the snow, and no matter how hard the snow falls or how cold it is outside, he doesn't feel it, and he just stands in the snow, and sometimes he stands all day, all night. When we found him, there was a lot of snow on his head and body, and his whole body was frozen like a piece of ice. ”

"Only then did we see the look on his face, as if he was smiling."

"But we never knew why he was laughing."

……

In the snow, he will be happy......

In the snow, he will have a smile......

...... in the snow

Snow......

The body in his arms was so thin, so weak, so cold, like those countless snowy days, he stood in the ice and snow like this, letting the cold wind howl, the falling snow fluttered, and his blood was frozen into ice, but he did not feel the pain at all.

Because his heart is still in that Jiangnan, it belongs to him, and hers, in the April day of the world.

But his people can't stand it anymore.

I hugged him, almost crying, but the mournful cry was immediately engulfed in the sound of wind and rain, I could only hear the beating of the heart, the sound hit my heart, I cried and called him: "Huang Ye, Huang Ye ......"

“……”

"You don't want to be like this, Huang Ye, don't be like this!"

“……”

"I promise you! I promise you, I will fall in love with Pei Yuanxiu, I will be fine, you promise me, you promise me! ”

“……”

"Stop torturing yourself!"

……

I don't know how long the storm lasted that day, and in such a storm, Huang Tianba didn't speak again, but I kept feeling the hot droplets of water dripping from my hands on his chest. But from beginning to end, I didn't see what kind of expression he was when he roared in the wind and rain, cried, and died in his heart......

Although I didn't get too much rain that day, the next day, I still had a fever.

The whole person was dizzy, because of the hot temperature of the body, the skin was also faintly painful, almost tormented within five years, and even so, in the drowsy dream, there was still no peace.

The roar of the storm echoed in my dreams.

I don't know how long it took, I finally regained consciousness, I opened my hot eyelids, and after a moment, I immediately saw the familiar face in front of me, looking at me with concern.

"Qingying, you're awake."

“……”

I looked at him for a while, and said quietly: "Yuan Xiu? ”

"Hmm. Still uncomfortable? ”

“……”

"I fed you ginger soup and sweated," he said, reaching out and touching my forehead, then trying his own, "It doesn't seem to be so hot." ”

I looked around, it was our room, but it was just the two of us. I said in a hoarse voice, "You're taking care of me alone?" ”

"Others, I'm not at ease."

"That's gone—"

"I told her you're tired and need to get some more sleep."

As he spoke, he gently wiped my sideburns and said softly, "Are you hungry?" I'll have someone bring you something to eat. Porridge, okay? Eat something to be comfortable. ”

I lay on the bed, looking at him with injuries and a somewhat pale face, and did not speak or move.

Pei Yuanxiu noticed my quietness and leaned down gently: "What's wrong?" ”

"Yuan Xiu ......"

"Huh?"

I was silent for a while, and finally gained some strength, raised my soft hands, and gently held his face, my slender fingertips rubbing against his pale cheeks.

Yuan Xiu's breathing froze a little for a while, and he only looked at me intently.

I don't know how long it took for me to slowly and effortlessly raise my head and kiss him lightly on the lips.

Suddenly, the body that was covering me trembled.

This kiss also exhausted my strength, and I fell back on the bed, seeing that he was a little incredulous, but his eyes flashed with joy, and said softly: "Qingying? ”

"Yuan Xiu ......"

There was a hot current in my hot eyes, and when I spoke, my voice was hoarse, and I choked up: "You promise me that from now on, no matter what, don't lie to me." ”

“……”

"I'll give you everything. My qiē ......"

“……”

"You can bear me, but don't bear the world."

“……”

"You promised me—"

This time, before I could finish my words, I felt the two already hot and powerful arms hug my soft body and slam it into his arms, and the lips that I had just kissed hard crushed down and kissed my lips heavily.

"Hmm-"

He couldn't control his strength, and his skin was extremely sensitive after the high fever, and I immediately let out a small cry of pain.

But this time, he didn't stop.

The thin clothes were soon peeled off under his hands, and the slightly sweaty skin was bare/exposed to the air, and as my breath shrank, I shivered under him, and several times whimpered because of the strength of his fingers, he gasped/breathed, pressed me hard under him, and said in a deep voice: "I'm sorry, I can't control myself." ”

The next moment, I already felt a burst of heat, which ran through me.

My eyes were wide open with tears, but I couldn't see anything clearly. His vision was a little distorted, a little blurry, as unreal as in a dream, but the big fiery hands and the heavy gasping in his ears were more real than ever.

Every rush/collision is like a mountain and a sea, bringing a sense of suffocation.

I couldn't speak, and I couldn't say anything under that kind of assault, so I could only let him take what he wanted, gasping and moaning under him, and even begging for mercy in the end.

At the last moment, he stood up and looked at me, and a drop of hot sweat fell down and dripped into my eyes.

Immediately, it melted with tears and slipped from the corners of his eyes.

He looked at me for a long time, and finally leaned down and kissed my wet eyelashes gently.

Maybe because of the injury on my shoulder and back, this time, Pei Yuanxiu let me go as long as I was twice, although it almost made me faint, and when I was unconscious, my body still spasmed unconsciously, and I felt that he was gently holding me in his arms, brushing away the sweat on his face, and kissing my forehead lightly.

After the stormy plunder, it was as gentle as the spring breeze.

I don't know how long it took me to open my eyes in a daze.

I just sweated a lot, and the fever was completely gone, but the heat on my body did not dissipate at all, it was the temperature brought by him holding me in his arms and ironing my skin.

Pei Yuanxiu looked down at me for a while, and a shallow smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Awake?" ”

I also looked at him for a moment: "Your injury-"

I still remember that my spasmodic fingers left deep scratches on his already scarred back and shoulders when the pleasure of extinction came, and at that moment, I could even feel the tremors of his body.

Pei Yuanxiu didn't answer my words immediately, but after staring into my eyes for a long time, he suddenly said, "Qingying." ”

“……”

"Is that seed that belongs to me starting to grow?"

“……”

His hand rested gently on my heart—

"Am I already here?"

In front of his cautious eyes and careful breathing, I smiled faintly, raised my hand, which was still numb, and slowly slid it up along the back of his bruised shoulder, and finally held his cheek, rubbed some small scars on it, and said softly: "Every seed, when it begins to grow, will be very fragile. ”

“……”

"You and I work together to protect it."

“……”

"Okay?"

“……”

He didn't speak, just looked at me with burning eyes, and after that almost overflowing smile, it was he who lowered his head and imprinted a hot, trembling kiss on my lips.

When I was kissed by him, I choked and swallowed the sourness that surged from the bottom of my heart and the words that I hadn't had time to say.

I didn't finish.

I did not sue him, and my heart was nearly barren.

Letting my heart grow a seed is the last effort.

If even this seed dies, I will no longer be able to fall in love with someone......

It took us several days to recuperate, even if we were injured and sick, and it was time to leave.

After all, Nian Baoyu still has 200,000 troops pressing on our hearts.

In addition to the eighteen horsemen of Anyang, Luo Shi asked us to change horses, and after the supplies were sufficient, we were about to hit the road.

Luo Shi and Huang Tianba sent us together, and of course Prince Yang Chu followed.

There is also an unpopular Evil Houqi, who is also in the team. Several times along the way I wanted to ask Losh about borrowing troops, but I couldn't ask because he was there; wanted to talk to Huang Tianba, he had been pale and taciturn, walking slowly on a horse, and he didn't seem to be in the mood to speak.

Seeing the Wuwei City Gate getting closer and closer, my heart became more and more anxious.

At this moment, a deep voice sounded beside him-

"Huang Tianba will arrange it."

Turning my head, I saw Liu Qinghan holding the reins in one hand, his injured shoulder hanging down, and the seemingly idle horse rode past me, but he didn't look at me.

My heart still couldn't help but tremble slightly.

For a while, many questions came to my mind.

Huang Tianba will arrange, how to arrange?

Has there been any consensus between him and Losh?

And Liu Qinghan, when did he get on the line with Huang Tianba? Was it the day we went hunting, and they stayed in the grass pavilion?

However, when I looked at his somewhat indifferent eyes, the words that hovered on the tip of my tongue were swallowed, and I smiled faintly: "That's good, that's good." ”

He turned his head to look at me.

Then, as if he had laughed a little, he reached out and shook the reins, and the horse's hooves took two steps faster and went forward, and I rode on horseback, watching his swaying back and drooping my eyelids.

At this time, Pei Yuanxiu also rode his horse to the other side of me and smiled at me.

I smiled too.

When I turned back again, I saw Li'er and Yang Chu, the two children were also riding horses side by side, Yang Chu opened his dark eyes wide, looked at Li'er for a while, and looked at Li'er again for a while.

Finally arrived at the gate of the city, our horse stopped, and was about to turn back to say goodbye, but saw that Yang Chu had already pouted, and reluctantly said to Li'er: "Li'er, will you come to play with me in the future?" ”

Li'er nodded: "Yes." ”

"Really? When? ”

"I'll come when I'm free."

"So when are you free?"

"Uh......" Li'er looked at the sky and thought for a while, and nodded: "I, I'm very free." ”

"Then you have to come more."

Seeing these two children so reluctant, I relaxed and laughed, it seems that the world of children is still much purer than the world of adults, even if the two of them were arguing like enemies a few days ago, but now they are too good to score.

At this time, the evil marquis Qi Cema walked up, glanced at them, and sneered: "You like her so much, wouldn't it be good to marry her back as a wife?" ”

As soon as these words came out, others were okay, but Yang Chu blushed suddenly.

Li'er was stunned for a moment, her face turned red, she snorted, ignored them, and drove the horse to the front.

Yang Chu seemed to have something to say to her, but when she saw Li'er running away, she was a little reluctant and a little shy, she glanced at Evil Hou Qi angrily, and lowered her head angrily.

I couldn't help but be a little funny.

Thinking of the flying and domineering little boy when he was a child, and a little dull and cute, and then looking at the current Yang Chu, I only feel that the passage of time is really like a tide, and I can't help it at all, but after many joys and sorrows, I left a dazzling pearl on the beach.

That's probably the most precious gift of the years.

After laughing, I turned around and met those amorous eyes.

But he was tired and heavy.

He looked at me without much smile on his face, and only said softly to me, "Be careful on the road." ”

"Huang Ye ......"

"Take care of yourself."

He looked at Pei Yuanxiu for a while, I thought he had something to say, but in the end, he didn't say a word, only Luo Shi opened his mouth, and said simply: "You guys go back first." ”

Pei Yuanxiu and I glanced at each other.

Evil Hou Qi seemed to sense something, and rode his horse towards us.
