I will take you home.
These were the most beautiful words she had ever heard in her life.
She still has a place to belong, and a home.
She hugged Pei Wenxuan tightly, like the only driftwood in the torrent.
Her tears soaked through Pei Wenxuan's clothes, even if it was mixed in the rain, it was instantly recognizable because of the scorching temperature.
Pei Wenxuan wrapped her whole body in his arms, and his sleeves overlapped to block her figure. He restrained his trembling, restrained his gaffe, restrained all his emotions, and forced the water vapor in his eyes to retreat.
She is alive.
No matter what, she was alive, and it couldn't be better.
He listened to the cry of the person in his arms, took a deep breath, and slowly raised his head.
Through the rain curtain, they saw the entrance of the cave not far away, Su Rongqing stood there, watching them quietly through the rain curtain.
The eyes of the two interlaced for a moment, Su Rongqing nodded slightly, then turned and entered the cave.
Pei Wenxuan stared at the cave, while stroking Li Rong's back, Li Rong's cry gradually subsided, and after a while, Zhao Chongjiu came over. As soon as he appeared in Pei Wenxuan's line of sight, Pei Wenxuan raised his hand on it. On his lips, Lao Yuan made a "silent" gesture.
Then Pei Wenxuan raised his chin in the direction of the cave.
Zhao Chongjiu understood, nodded, and rushed in the direction of the cave.
Seeing Zhao Chongjiu's actions, Pei Wenxuan felt that Li Rong's emotions calmed down a little, and he finally said: "The person searching for the cliff should be not far away, I will carry you over there."
He half squatted down and let Li Rong ride on his back. Li Rong hugged his neck and leaned on his back without saying a word.
The sound of sprinting came from behind, and Li Rong seemed to realize that something trembled slightly. Pei Wenxuan didn't move forward, and she didn't look back. After a long time, she said in a hoarse voice, "Let's go."
Pei Wenxuan looked up at the sky and walked outside the dense forest with Li Rong on his back.
They didn't say anything along the way, only the heavy rain poured down, hitting the two of them, and it hurt like a stone falling.
He carried her through the thorns, through the dense forest, the rain gradually stopped, and the sky began to brighten.
In the morning after the rain, there was water vapor, and the sun was hidden in the early morning with some blue clouds. The two of them walked for an unknown amount of time, and finally heard the sound of horse hooves and human voices.
Pei Wenxuan raised his head and saw from a distance that Tong Ye brought people over, and Tong Ye led people all the way to Pei Wenxuan, and said excitedly: "Young Master," he looked at Li Rong, "Your Highness, are you still All right?"
"Get on the carriage first."
Pei Wenxuan knew that Li Rong didn't want to talk, so he dismissed the child's business, walked to the side of the carriage with Li Rong on his back, and helped Li Rong into the carriage.
Li Rong had already calmed down, and she kept her head down, not saying a word.
Pei Wenxuan helped her into the carriage, and asked her to change into clean clothes before turning back to the carriage.
What Tong Ye brought was the carriage of Pei's house, with only Pei Wenxuan's clothes on it, so when Pei Wenxuan stepped into the carriage, he saw Li Rong wearing his clothes and sitting quietly in his seat.
She barely moved, and he was no different when he walked.
Pei Wenxuan watched for a moment, stepped forward, knelt on top of Li Rong, raised her feet all the way, and said in a low voice, "Let me clean your wound first?"
Li Rong didn't speak, she lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking.
The carriage set off, walking on the cobblestone river a little bumpy, Pei Wenxuan lowered his head, not daring to look at Li Rong, but one more glance, his heart seemed to be slashed by a sharp blade.
He also didn't want to ask Li Rong what happened.
In fact, Li Rong might know something. He knew it the moment he smelled Xie Chunhe's scent yesterday.
He had countless questions and countless guesses, but he didn't say anything. He lowered his head to observe Li Rong's wound, chose the appropriate medicine to apply, and then took a bandage and wrapped it finely.
Li Rong looked down at him quietly, observing the man.
She felt that she had never really known Pei Wenxuan in her life.
His kindness, his tenderness, his delicacy, and his tolerance, she never seemed to look back and never cherish it.
Pei Wenxuan was still staring at her, and when he finished dressing the wound on his foot, he raised his hand and undid her belt, stood up, bent over, as if hugging her, raised his hand and took her shirt off his shoulder.
There was a charcoal fire in the carriage, and the air-tight space was as hot as summer, but at the moment when all her skin came into contact with the air, Li Rong still felt the coolness coming from her surroundings. It was just that the coolness was soon blocked by Pei Wenxuan, he hugged her, and her clothes were stuck in her hands, and he tried to take it away. He was very close to her, she could clearly perceive his temperature, his smell, she could even hear his heartbeat, and feel the rubbing and restraint when his fingertips touched her.
She sensed his emotion, and looked at the door of the carriage swinging in front of her, and her voice contained no emotion: "Do you want me?"
Pei Wenxuan paused, and after a while, he responded calmly in a low voice: "I just want to help you clean up the wound."
"Why not me?"
Li Rong turned to look at the people around her: "Why do you always think about me and embarrass yourself?"
"Don't think about it," Pei Wenxuan didn't dare to look her in the eye, pulled her clothes off, and took the medicine from the side, "I'm your husband, so I promise not to care about this."
With that said, Pei Wenxuan took the medicine from the side and lowered his head to give her the medicine.
As soon as the medicine touched her fine wound, Li Rong felt a subtle pain rushing up.
Her body trembled slightly, and Pei Wenxuan looked up at her: "Does it hurt?"
There was no lust in his eyes.
But she knew that he was a normal man, he couldn't have no lust, but he loved more than lust, and even such a disgusting thing would become beautiful in him.
Li Rong fluttered her eyelashes, she lowered her eyes and said hoarsely, "It doesn't hurt."
The two remained silent. Pei Wenxuan gave her good medicine, put the medicine bottle away, and said softly, "Go to sleep first, and I will guard you."
As soon as she finished speaking, Li Rong raised her hand and grabbed his sleeve.
"I'll give it to you."
"His Royal Highness," Pei Wenxuan lowered his eyes, "I didn't think it would be as bad as you think."
"Is this unbearable?" Li Rong looked up at him, "If you don't even want this, what else can I give you?"
Pei Wenxuan was stunned for a moment, Li Rong looked up at him and smiled softly: "I don't mind, I will. Pei Wenxuan, in front of me in the future, take care of yourself more."
She said, stood up, raised her hand to cup his face, and lightly placed it on his forehead.
She kisses coolly.
It seems that the rain of the night has not yet left.
Like a drizzle, a gentle and delicate kiss, and then there are more and more lingering explorations.
She has never been like this. Li Rong's love is always a bit aura and mischievous. She enjoys it freely and gets the most genuine response. In this relationship, he gives, she takes, and he sees her because of himself. And joy is the greatest encouragement.
But she was not like this today. She tried to take care of him, thinking about him all the time. She lowered her body and greeted him like a lowly person, carefully and skillfully trying to please him.
He looked at Li Rong's "sensible", at Li Rong's sudden "growth", and at Li Rong's thoughtfulness, and he suddenly realized that he didn't want it.
Compared with what Li Rong paid for him, what he wanted more was that Li Rong would always be his highness at the top of his heart, not bowing his head for anyone, not bowing down for anyone, so proud to the point of arrogance.
He felt that Li Rong at the moment was like a fragile glass. He didn't dare to touch her, so he could only watch what she did.
He knew that she was looking for a way to make himself feel better, but when she knelt in front of him and bowed her head to swallow him, he finally couldn't stand the torture.
He raised his hand and put it on her shoulder, stopped her movement, and said in a low voice, "Enough."
Li Rong stopped, and Pei Wenxuan's hand on her shoulder trembled slightly: "Li Rong, don't betray yourself like this."
"Do you practice?" Li Rong looked up at him, "Don't you like it?"
Pei Wenxuan didn't speak, he looked at Li Rong's expression, she stared at her quietly, there was only a fine line between madness and calmness, he suddenly realized that at this moment, he was her only salvation and straw. She must use her own way to complete her punishment and redemption.
All his refusals only pushed her further into hell.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Li Rong raised her hand, pressed his hand beside her, and continued her movements.
Pei Wenxuan looked at the person kneeling in front of him, she was calm and serious.
Obviously it should be the thrill of extinction, but here Pei Wenxuan just felt like he was dragged into the water, he couldn't breathe, everything accumulated in his heart, and it seemed that it would explode anytime, anywhere.
He rested his hands on the edge of the cross chair, and the knuckles began to turn white due to too much force. Li Rong's flattery and Li Rong's gentleness were all sharp knives that cut into his heart.
It's that he didn't protect her.
He was incompetent, unable to stop the wind and rain in this world and turned into a sharp blade, shattering her knees and shattering her spine.
She is delaying him.
She is using this method of self-injury to make him suffer and make him despair.
She wanted to drag him to hell with him.
He suddenly understood how she felt. Under extreme pain, any feeling in his body, whether it was pain or happiness, was redemption.
He held the plank tightly, his fingernails bleeding.
He suddenly hated her.
He whispered, "Li Rong."
Li Rong looked up at him, and at that moment, Pei Wenxuan pulled her up and pressed her against the wall of the car. She slammed into the wall of the car. The moment the pain came, he kissed her.
He lost his usual tenderness, and she faintly tasted the bitterness of tears from the kiss. She was almost suffocated in this stormy kiss. Before she could tell where the tears came from, she felt that he suddenly merged with her. one.
She felt pain.
She grabbed his arm tightly, and Pei Wenxuan noticed her change. He raised his head and stared at her with tearful eyes: "Are you satisfied?"
She didn't speak. For the first time in her life, she felt pain in what Pei Wenxuan told her.
This was actually the most beautiful thing among all the gifts Pei Wenxuan had given her, but she even turned it into pain with her own hands.
He held her hand and approached her: "What I covet is your beauty and your power, not you alone, my feelings are dirty and dirty, such feelings," he choked, "you Are you at ease?"
She knew she had done it wrong again.
She wanted to explain that she really wanted to be nice to her, she didn't slander his feelings, she just wanted to do her best to make up for him.
But she couldn't say it. She looked at him with hateful eyes, Li Rong's teeth chattered slightly, and she laughed: "Relax."
As soon as she finished speaking, her tears fell.
The eyes of the two met in the air, and the distance was so close, but because no one took a half step back, it was impossible to move an inch, and the horizon was so close.
Pei Wenxuan suddenly felt sad. He put his hand on Li Rong's face and wiped away her tears with his thumb: "Li Rong, let yourself go."
This sentence was like a heavy hammer hitting the glass, and it suddenly shattered in her heart. She wanted to fight back, to refute, but in the end, it only became a rhetorical question: "I let myself go, who will let me go?"
"No one will let me go!"
When she said this, she could no longer restrain the pain she had been trying to restrain: "Everyone is using me, Chuaner doesn't believe me and kills me, Shangguanya and Su Rongqing watch me die, Pei Wenxuan," Li Rong grabbed Pei Wenxuan's sleeves, she stared at him with tearful eyes, "How can you let me let go of myself?"
"No one believes me, you all think I'm not good, think I'm selfish, think I'm greedy for power, think I'm unscrupulous, think I don't think about any of you."
"So Li Chuan wanted to kill me, Shangguan Ya wanted me to die, Su Rongqing watched me drink poison and didn't say anything, even you," Li Rong tugged at his clothes, "do you also think that I I'm forcing you now? I'm slandering your feelings, I'm hurting so you're suffering too?"
Pei Wenxuan was stunned for a while, Li Rong lowered her head, she restrained her emotions, and she tried her best to calm down.
She has hurt too many people, everyone has abandoned her, she wants to be nice to Pei Wenxuan, she should not indulge herself.
"which I do not have."
She said hoarsely, "I just want to be nice to you. I want to be nice to everyone, but I can't do anything well."
"I don't speak well, I do things too arbitrarily, I'm like a hedgehog, whoever sees me thinks I'm not good. Even if I want to like you, I can't do it well."
"I've done so much for Chuan'er," she burst into tears, "but he still doesn't believe me."
"I quarreled like that for Aya and Chuan'er, but Aya gave up on me for a little risk."
"I've worked so hard to protect Su Rongqing, but I still can't live in his heart. He hasn't even given me a little trust."
"I didn't force you. I really just want to be nice to you. I don't know what to do. I just want you not to suffer a little grievance in front of me. But I still can't do it well."
"I'm sorry..." She looked up at him and said repeatedly: "I'm sorry..."
Pei Wenxuan didn't speak. He looked at Li Rong in front of him. She had no manners at all. She was the most embarrassed in her life. I'm afraid it's just now. Even when she saw her in prison back then, she was dressed in her hair, and her posture was calm.
But she can't control those anymore, tears poured down her face, she grabbed his sleeve, her eyes were full of pleasing and pleading, those pleasing like knives, gouging out one by one in his heart.
He couldn't speak, and when he opened his mouth, he felt choked up, so he didn't say anything, he picked her up and put her on top of him.
He kissed her tears softly and gently brushed her cheeks.
She was crying all the time, as if all the tears of her life were shed at this time.
All his tenderness to her, all his love to her, when it reaches the extreme, she herself can't tell where these tears came from and where they flowed.
They sank in desire and calmed down, until at the last moment, she hugged him tightly and said, "I'm sorry."
He closed his eyes and didn't make a sound. After a long time, he buried himself on her shoulder with a soft voice: "Your Highness, you have nothing to be sorry for me, it's my business to like you, and I don't regret it."
Pei Wenxuan said, he took a deep breath, raised his hand to put on her clothes, then lifted the curtain of the car and glanced out.
The carriage has entered Huajing, and there is a lot of noise around. Pei Wenxuan confirmed the position, turned his head and kissed her forehead: "Don't cry, go back and tell me what's wrong, I'll think about it with you. Method."
Li Rong did not speak.
"Pei Wenxuan," Li Rong hugged him, her voice was hoarse but calm, "After we go back, let's separate."
Pei Wenxuan paused, and Li Rong looked up at him: "Don't be sad."
"I told you before that I was disappointed with you, but not this time."
"I like you so much this time," Li Rong laughed, "I want to give you the best in the world."
As a lover, not only is she not the best person in the world, she's not even a good girl.
She couldn't bring any benefit to Pei Wenxuan, and even dragged him into a quagmire all the time. She didn't even know how to be nice to him.
There is no such lover.
She is only suitable for one person, silently in the dark night, behind him, watching, staring, and company. Quietly give him money, send him to a high position, and hold all power and wealth in front of him.
Pei Wenxuan is so clean and beautiful. He is her bright moon and her sun. He should hang high in the sky and should not sink into the dark with her.
Pei Wenxuan looked at her quietly, he seemed to understand all her heart.
After a short silence, he responded, "Okay."
Li Rong was stunned.
Then she saw him gently move forward, approaching her.
stare at her.
He and her were close at hand, and she could feel their breath like smoke entangled in a censer, intertwined, entangled, and indistinguishable.
He raised his hand to cling to the nearest place to her heart, and she trembled slightly.
Then she listened to him calmly and earnestly, speaking like an order—
"Then give it to me."
