【NO.35】Melt in a piece of sugar
Bai Nan stretched out his hand to gently wipe away the tears from the corners of Leng Qingge's eyes, tightened his arms, hugged her into his arms, put his warm lips on her forehead, and whispered and coaxed, "Qingge, it's okay, don't be afraid, I'm here." ”
His voice was soft and magnetic, which calmed Leng Qingge's heart a lot.
It was the first time that Leng Qingge had looked at Bai Nan's eyes so closely and so seriously.
Dark and deep, even if thousands of thoughts are hidden, they can not be seen by others.
Sharp and sharp, as if all your disguises are in these eyes, as if there is nothing to hide.
Cold and detached, like an emperor who is high up and looks down on all beings, even if he can see through what you think, he has no interest in it.
Bai Nan's eyes were as black as ink, and they couldn't melt into any wind and moon, but they melted into a piece of sugar.
Leng Qingge saw a soft light in the depths of such a pair of eyes.
She suspected that she had misseen it, and couldn't help but blink, trying to see it more clearly.
However, Leng Qingge did see the soft light in Bai Nan's eyes, as soft as the moonlight, and as gentle as jade.
She stared blankly at the gentle man in front of her, and a warm current surged through her heart, "You... How is it here? ”
"I... I just missed you, come and see, I just happened to see you having nightmares. Bai Nan replied in a low voice, his deep voice was a little awkward, but it was very sincere.
Leng Qingge was slightly stunned when he heard this, his heartbeat missed half a beat, and he spoke after a while, and said "thank you" softly.
Bai Nan couldn't help but have a faint smile in his eyes, and he reached out to put the sweat-soaked hair on her forehead behind her ears, "Let's sleep again, it's still early." ”
This smile was clearly like a shock, but Leng Qingge keenly captured it, she remembered the hoarseness in her dream, and subconsciously pulled the corner of Bai Nan's clothes, like pulling the life-saving straw in the dark, "Can you... Not leaving? ”
Bai Nan's body stiffened for a moment, and at the same time, his heart fluttered and beat violently, "Okay, I'll accompany you." ”
Bai Nan leaned on the bed, took Leng Qingge in his arms, and stroked her soft hair with his other hand, gently patting and coaxing her.
Leng Qingge buried his cheeks in Bai Nan's broad chest, and the tip of his nose lingered with the familiar smell of ambergris, but today there was still a faint smell of spices.
She raised her hand, wrapped it around Bai Nan's waist, closed her eyes gently, and her mood became inexplicably calmer.
In an instant, she seemed to return to her childhood, her parents always looked at her with a smile and doting, so gentle, so kind, like the winter sun, illuminating her cold and lonely heart...
Suddenly, a light and shadow flashed in the room, illuminating the entire room.
Bai Nan suddenly opened his eyes, and subconsciously protected Leng Qingge in his arms, until he saw the person who came, and then spoke leisurely, "Why are you here?" ”
Yue Bai narrowed her eyes slightly, and a playful smile hung on the corner of her mouth, "I should ask this sentence, why are you here, Your Excellency?" ”
Bai Nan looked innocent and embarrassed, "I... I heard that there was movement on Qingge's side, so I came over to take a look. ”
Yuebai raised her eyebrows slightly, with a hint of banter in her tone, "That... I thank you for Qingge. ”
Bai Nan didn't respond, but seemed to think of something, "Qingge, she is..."
"Your Excellency, are you starting to care about Qingge? A week ago, didn't you say that this marriage contract was only the order of your parents, and didn't you try your best to get rid of this relationship? So why is this happening now? The corners of Yuebai's mouth twitched slightly, with a bit of ridicule, and an expression of watching a good show.
Bai Nan lowered her head and looked at Leng Qingge who was sleeping in his arms, her hand was still holding his hand tightly, and she slowly raised her head to look at Yuebai, "Take a step to speak, Qingge just fell asleep." ”
With a smile in her eyebrows, Yue Bai turned around very enchantingly, and flew out of the window to leave the room.
The two of them landed on a branch outside the window, one after the other.
Bai Nan was the first to speak, "What happened before, I was wrong. ”
"It's been a long life, and you can see everything. It is not easy to make the wolf king admit his mistake. Yuebai's eyes were full of banter.
Bai Nan's expression darkened, he completely understood who Leng Qingge's angry posture was learned from, it was really the same as Yuebai, and it was no wonder that he was brought up by Yuebai.
Yuebai looked at Bai Nan's gloomy expression, not to mention how happy she was, the stuffiness that had been held in her chest for so long was finally vented.
Bai Nan was silent for a long time, and raised his eyes to look at Yuebai, "Can you tell me about Qingge's situation today?" Judging by the way you came in such a hurry, it shouldn't be accidental. ”
Yue Bai tightened the smile on the corner of her mouth and looked at Bai Nan with a complicated gaze, "It's really not accidental. After that great war thousands of years ago, every thunderstorm day, that's it. ”
In that great battle, the sky was thunderous, the flames were soaring, the entire sky was plunged into destruction, countless living beings were reduced to nothing, and the whole world was destroyed and turned into ruins.
Lives are devastated, corpses are strewn all over the field, and rivers of blood are flowing...
"When I rescued her, her nurse had already passed away, and those stiff hands were still on her eyes, but I still saw a shocking picture between my fingers." Yuebai recalled the picture she saw at the beginning, and the pain in her heart was indescribable, "Heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are used as dogs, but she wants to correct this world that reverses black and white, so that those humans who have lived for decades can be saved from killing." ”
At that time, Bai Nan was only three thousand years old, and he didn't know what this meant, but he knew that that night was the darkest and most cruel. But Leng Qingge, who is only a thousand years old, has already deeply experienced the feeling of death and destruction...
Bai Nan's mouth pursed into a line, the light under his eyes deepened, and the color of worry became more and more distressed.
Yuebai took a deep breath, calmed down, and lightly moved the topic back to the present, "So, your marriage contract, you told Qingge?" ”
"Nope." Bai Nan shook his head and looked into the distance with deep eyes, "I want her to be with me because she is in love with me, not because of the marriage contract." ”
When Yuebai heard this, she hooked her lips slightly, "Are you serious about Qingge?" ”
"Yes." A look of determination flashed in Bai Nan's eyes.
"Qingge is a kind person, the life she wants to live is simple, but today's world is not as calm and simple as it seems... For her, it was a luxury. The corners of Yuebai's mouth drew a faint smile, "But I still hope that there is someone by her side that she can rely on, and maybe make her happier." ”
"I know what you mean, I'll protect her." Bai Nan's eyes were full of determination, "She is the first and only person I want to protect in the past five thousand years, even if I give everything, even if it is my life, I will protect her." ”
"It seems that Qingge's parents did choose a good family affair for her." A relieved smile appeared on Yuebai's face, "Okay, it's not too early." I'll go back first, and Qingge will be handed over to you first. ”
Bai Nan nodded and didn't say anything more.
Yuebai glanced at him and disappeared into the night.
Bai Nan stood on the branch, the wind was blowing in the face with the raindrops, he didn't make any movement, just let the rain beat on his body...
"Why did you wake up?" Bai Nan returned to the room, and as soon as his heart tightened, he saw Leng Qingge sitting on the bed with his knees crossed, the quilt sliding to the side, his forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and his hair was messy.
Leng Qingge's eyes were bloodshot, as if she had just experienced a bloody battle, her voice was a little hoarse, and she opened her mouth a few times before she made a sound, "Where have you been?" ”
Like an abandoned little beast, pitifully waiting for someone to see her.
Seeing such a cold song, Bai Nan's heart softened, his gaze softened, and he sat on the edge of the bed, "I..."
Leng Qingge directly interrupted Bai Nan's words, and opened his watery eyes, "Is it Yuebai?" ”
Bai Nan nodded, "He... Come and see you. ”
Leng Qingge didn't speak, just sat quietly on the bed.
Bai Nan sat in front of the bed, staring at Leng Qingge quietly, his eyes were gentle and delicate, he stretched out his right hand, his index finger stroked her cheek, his eyes were full of endless pampering and tenderness, "Are you still sleepy?" Shall I sleep with you a little longer? ”
"I don't sleep." Leng Qingge shook his head and said in a low voice, "You... Can you sit with me for a while? ”
Bai Nan smiled and nodded, looking at her pale and bloodless face, there was an inexplicable pain in her heart.
Leng Qingge moved his body to make way for some position, and the two of them leaned side by side at the head of the bed.
Warm-toned lights shone on their faces, and the room was filled with a faint scent of sandalwood, so quiet that you could hear each other's breathing and heartbeats.
The rumbling thunder seemed to be much quieter, and Leng Qingge turned his head sideways to look at the dark night sky outside the window, and one lightning bolt after another pierced the sky.
"Before... At this time, is Yuebai accompanying you? Bai Nan's deep voice was not in a hurry, but it was like a warm current, which made people feel at ease.
After a long time, Leng Qingge nodded, "He told you everything?" ”
Although it was a question sentence, she used an affirmative tone.
She raised her eyes and stared in the direction of the window, and didn't look away for a long time, "Yuebai he... It's my only relative. ”
Bai Nan's heart was a little sour, he remembered Leng Qingge's lonely and helpless eyes when he woke up from the nightmare, and remembered her empty eyes, his heart was like being Ling Chi.
Leng Qingge tugged at the corners of his mouth and forcibly showed a smile to comfort Bai Nan, but this smile was poignant, "My life was picked up, God is not thin on me, and I have lived for thousands of years, and I have earned it." ”
"Qingge......"Bai Nan lowered his head, his eyes were dark red, and he tried his best to suppress the turbulence in his heart, "Stay by my side and let me take care of you, okay?" ”
Leng Qingge was slightly stunned, she lowered her head with her eyes down, and shook her head gently, she didn't dare to look at Bai Nan squarely, she was afraid of seeing his affectionate and hot eyes.
In a precarious life, even she doesn't know when she will die, so why worry about it?
Bai Nan's heart trembled violently a few times, he could see that Leng Qingge did not have any friendship for him, but he couldn't confirm how much this friendship was.
"I'm not pushing you, I'm not in a hurry, we're leaving everything to time. But...... I hope you don't suppress yourself and listen to what is in your heart, okay? Bai Nan's tone was resolute and gentle, as warm as the winter sun.
Leng Qingge bit her lip lightly, her eyelashes trembled slightly, she thought about it, and finally nodded.
Bai Nan's fingers caressed Leng Qingge's soft hair, his fingertips were cold, touching her sideburns, Leng Qingge felt a tremor in her heart, she raised her head to look at Bai Nan, there was something indescribable in Bai Nan's dark pupils.
It was night, and after a thunderstorm, the sky was full of stars.
