Chapter 8: The stars shone in his eyes
Neatly reinforcing the reins, Sether swerved left and right on the dark streets where he couldn't see his fingers, speeding through damp, icy stone alleys, low-rise guesthouses and crooked thick woods.
Hidden Eyebrows sat in front of him wrapped in Sether's cloak, all exposed to the cold and humid air from the knee down, and his toes were almost unconscious.
The horse let out a cheerful neigh.
"Hey?!" Hidden eyebrows cried out in disbelief.
"It was your horse that brought me to you. Sether's deep voice rang in her ears, and she felt his burning breath caress her earlobe, and she shuddered violently, and almost slipped off her horse.
"Be careful!" Sether grabbed her by the waist, and she shook and slammed into his chest.
"Ah......h
Sether didn't answer, just pressed her tighter into his arms.
Oops! Why did I suddenly lose my voice? What should I say now? Why am I so stupid? Of course I have to thank him. But is a thank you enough? I never thought I'd ever see him again...... I never thought I'd meet him like this...... Sether looks like he's lost a lot of weight, so he's probably having a hard time. Can't I just get dressed and see somebody, especially Sether, who is naked every time, this time, and last time. All the face of my life will be lost in front of him alone.
"How did you get on Hey?" Yin Xinmei had nothing to say, bent on breaking the embarrassing situation.
"It ran up to me, bit my sleeve, and I rode it. Sether seemed to have a smile in his tone, "Your Marco is so smart, smarter than most people." β
Yin Xinmei felt that his last half sentence was insinuating that he was stupid, she couldn't get angry, and she couldn't talk back, otherwise wouldn't it show that she was really as stupid as he said.
She could only sit honestly in his arms with her mouth closed, her heart flustered, her mind a mess, excitement, pain, excitement, sorrow, amazement, fear, confusion, joy, anger, humiliation......
All the things in the past and everything that just happened, so many strong and complex emotions are all fused together, and Yin Xinmei can't figure out how he feels at the moment.
Every time she saw Sether, she became dull and ignorant, and she was completely like herself.
She glanced at him cautiously, how could Sethy's dark eyes be so bright, as if the morning star and the bright moon were gathered in his eyes, and she quickly lowered her head like a thief, for fear that she would be lost in the abyss under his eyes.
"Really, it's really weird," Yin Xinmei said cautiously, trying not to let his tone reveal his excitement, "Hey, you never let others ride." β
"Maybe for it," Seser finally looked down at her, and she suddenly felt a fever on her face, "I'm none other than that. β
His words made Yin Xinmei's heartbeat skip half a beat in an instant.
"Where are you taking me?" she asked pitifully.
"Do you think I'm going to sell you? I'm going to take you back to VIAPH. β
"What ??!!"
"You don't have to react so violently, I'm not done. Sether smiled a little reluctantly, "I'm going to take you back to Viaphant's castle in the Valley." β
"Where's the valley?"
"In a plain area eight hundred miles north of Silver City, it would take about a day and a half to ride the fastest horse. β
"Oh my God, can you tell me how long I've been unconscious?"
"If you count from the moment Jewel Avenue was knocked unconscious by that giant called Bear's Tooth, then you were in a coma for two days. β
"No wonder I don't have the strength to do it. How long are we left to get to Castle in the Valley?" 12345
"Twenty minutes or so. β
"Is it possible that the king of Babylon will send his pursuers after us?"
"Unlikely. He was too cunning to take my word for it, and he thought I must have set up an ambush near his den. β
"You really didn't bring a guard?" Hidden Eyebrow whispered in disbelief, "I thought you were fooling him." β
"You're such an idiot. β
"Thank you. She whispered.
"I did you so much of a favor and sent me away with a word of thanks?"
Yin Xinmei couldn't say a word because of his words, the problem is that he was quite right, which coincided with his subconscious.
She didn't know what to do with the next sentence at all, so she could only let him prevail stupidly.
Every time, once she got to Sether's side, her brain began to weaken, her tongue became sluggish, and her former sharp teeth were completely useless at this moment.
Heyo walked through the dense forest, the branches of the forked trees stretched out their bony arms to them like witches in the forest. The north wind whistled through the forest, the faint sound of the murmuring stream gradually became clear and audible, and the piercing ice splash of the horse's hooves splashed all over the body.
Sether quietly pressed her tight again, pulling her cloak from the jolt that had slid down to her collarbone.
Hidden Eyebrows never knew he was such a careful person, and the fragrance that emanated from him made her heart beat wildly.
She had thought that his magic over her had vanished, but when he was close again, he had left her completely confused.
Hidden Eyebrows thought she was going to hate him, but what he did tonight made it impossible for her to regain the hatred she had for him in the pastβor rather, did she really hate him? Or was it just that she had taken her disappointment in him for hatred.
"Hold me tight. Sether had a faint scent of bergamot and red wine, and his aroma poured over her lips that almost knocked her unconscious, and for a moment she thought he was going to bow his head and kiss her, "There are wolves and lions around here, we're going to speed up." β
Hidden eyebrows nodded lightly in frustration, and he didn't know if Seser could see it in the darkness.
But at this moment, Remassa's face suddenly appeared in her mind, as if a basin of cold water was poured on her hot and smoking head.
Yin Xinmei's arm, which originally wanted to hug Sether, froze instantly.
What the hell am I doing? Am I crazy? I hate half-hearted women in love stories, and I don't want to be like that. I'm Remassa's fiancΓ©e, and that will never change anyone.
"Don't hesitate any longer. As if sensing her inner struggle, Sether grabbed her hand and put it around his waist, and the cold temperature of her hand startled him suddenly, "Your body is extremely weak, and we must gallop our horses - I don't want you to fall down and dismount and snatch you back from the wolf's mouth." I've always had little patience for saving stupid people, so don't blame me for not saving them when the time comes. β
You're so mean-mouthed, but you saved me, you can't help it, Sether.
Yin Xinmei did not refute, and obediently circled his waist under the guidance of Sether.
Then, without saying a word, he rudely pressed her disobedient head on his right shoulder, and whispered in an unquestioning tone, "Sit tight!"
With that, Sether whipped his horsewhip hard, and with an earth-shattering hiss, his front hooves raised high, nearly throwing them both off their horses.
A pair of green eyes lit up like ghostly fire in the dark forest, and wolf howls rang out one after another, reaching the horizon, as if these beasts were singing a terrible death chorus in unison.
"Don't be afraid, hide your eyebrows. Sether's left hand clasped her tightly for a while, "With me here, you don't have to be afraid of anything." β
