The sky, which was originally bright with stars and moon, gradually turned into dark clouds covering the moon. A gust of cold wind blew by, picking up the yellow leaves all over the ground.
Seeing Duan Muxi turning around without any hesitation, Xuanyuan Mo felt panicked and subconsciously reached out to catch her, but the words "You are so dirty" made him dare not touch her at all, and he could only watch helplessly. The lonely figure disappeared from his world little by little.
A flash of lightning flashed across the sky, followed by thunder, and in the blink of an eye, huge raindrops hung from the sky like silk threads.
Xuanyuan Mo stood motionless in the heavy rain, letting the rain rain heavily hit him. His amber eyes stared closely at the place where Duan Muxi disappeared, his fists clenched into fists, and veins popped out on his hands. Another bolt of lightning flashed across. After all, he couldn't bear to worry about her, so he flashed and chased after the disappearing figure.
The cold raindrops hit Duanmu Xi drop by drop, and soon her clothes were completely soaked, but she didn't feel cold at all because her heart was numb with cold.
"Your Highness." Feng Wu was startled when he saw Duan Muxi, who was soaked all over, walking out of the rain curtain, and hurriedly walked over holding an umbrella.
Long Yue on the side was also startled, turned his head and looked somewhere in the black screen, frowning slightly.
"Your Highness, why are you alone, Mr. Xuanyuan?" Feng Wu stood beside Duanmu Xi to shield her from the wind and rain, and took out a handkerchief to wipe the rain off Duanmu Xi's face.
Duanmuxi stiffened when she heard this, and raised her hands to cover her chest. It hurt so much, it hurt so much that she wanted to take off the heart.
Waving away the umbrella in Feng Wu's hand, she looked up at the sky. The cold raindrops fell on her face drop by drop. In her heart, she slowly closed her eyes. The hot tears mixed with the cold rain fell down, as if there was only this cold rain. Only then could he freeze the pain in her heart.
Seeing Duan Muxi like this in the dark, Xuanyuan Mo was so distressed that he could hardly breathe. His nails dug deeply into his palms, and blood slipped down between his fingers, staining the ground red with rainwater.
Feng Wu was shocked when he saw Duan Muxi like this. He anxiously raised the umbrella in his hand and approached again.
"I want to be alone, don't follow me." The voice was extremely calm, without any waves, but it made Feng Wu even more uneasy and scared.
Seeing Duan Muxi's figure disappearing into the black rain curtain, Feng Wu and Long Yue looked at each other, and at the same time, their figures flashed and disappeared.
It was pitch black all around, without a trace of light. The world is so big, but she doesn't know where she is going, she just follows her heart in one direction.
The rain was still falling, and the road in the woods was not easy to walk. Maybe it was because he had been in the rain for a long time, but Duanmu Xi's consciousness gradually became blurred.
Suddenly his foot slipped and he stepped in the air. Duan Muxi stretched out his hand to grab the branch next to him, but failed to catch it. He felt that his body was falling continuously, and he subconsciously stretched out his hand to cover his lower abdomen. At this moment, she regretted it. If anything happened to her child, she would never forgive herself in her life.
At this time, several people in the dark were shocked when they saw Duan Muxi sliding down the steep slope, especially Xuanyuan Mo, whose heart was in his throat. Almost at the same time, Feng Wu, Long Yue, and Xuanyuan Mo came together with Flying towards Duanmu Xi as fast as possible. But there was one person who was faster than them.
Duanmu Xi felt her waist tighten, and the next second she was on the flat ground above. My heart instantly relaxed, and the hand caressing my belly relaxed.
Xuanyuan Mo in the dark breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Duan Muxi being rescued. When he saw the man in black, a flash of jealousy flashed in his amber eyes.
Duanmuxi raised his eyes and was slightly surprised when he saw that familiar face, "Lian Zhengyu?" Didn't he go back to Xuanwu? How would it appear here
Lian Zhengyu took off his robe and covered Duan Muxi's head, "Are you okay?"
There was a rare tenderness in the deep voice.
Duan Muxi shook her head when she heard this, looked into Lian Zhengyu's eyes and said seriously, "Thank you!" If he hadn't appeared in time, the baby in her belly might have been in danger.
Lian Zhengyu's handsome face turned slightly red and he looked away, not daring to look into Duan Muxi's eyes.
"I'll take you there." Lian Zhengyu said and put his robe on Duanmuxi, then picked up Duanmuxi and flew to the cave not far away.
Duanmuxi blinked, and before he understood what was going on, the two of them had already reached the cave.
Seeing the man carrying Duan Muxi away, Xuanyuan Mo chased after him subconsciously. When he saw the two entering the cave, he did not follow them in.
In the cave, Lian Zhengyu carefully put Duan Muxi down.
Duanmuxi looked at the dark cave with a wry smile on her lips, "Thank you!"
Even though she was bruised and bruised, the place she wanted to come to was still related to him.
Hearing her bitter voice, Lian Zhengyu's heart ached slightly, "I'll light a fire."
Lian Zhengyu said and wanted to walk towards the cave, but was held back by Duan Muxi.
"No, don't light a fire, okay?" She didn't want people to see her embarrassment and vulnerability.
The slight feeling of heat on his arm made Lian Zhengyu afraid to move for a moment. After a long time, he said dullly, "Do you need me to go out?"
Duanmuxi was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then the corners of his lips raised slightly, "No, actually it is a blessing to have someone by your side at this time."
Duan Muxi's words hit Lian Zhengyu's heart hard. If his company can make her happy, he can stay with her for a lifetime.
Xuanyuan Mo stood outside for a long time. After a long time, he suddenly turned around and punched the big tree next to him. His fist instantly became bloody and bloody, and the blood slowly slid down the trunk, but he did not stop. Punch after punch, like crazy, hitting the big tree. The blood on his hands fell drop by drop, but he felt no pain at all because his heart was numb with pain.
He was so jealous that he was going crazy with jealousy. He really wanted to rush in and snatch her out, but as soon as he thought of her words "You are so dirty", he lost the courage. A pair of eyes became dim and lifeless, and he turned around and left in despair.
Feng Wu in the dark finally understood. His Highness must have quarreled with Mr. Xuanyuan, but what was the reason? Everything was fine before tonight. What happened at today's dinner
Long Yue, on the other hand, frowned deeply, and a hint of worry flashed in his dark eyes. He had a hunch that this time things would definitely be serious.
Listening to the even breathing beside him, Lian Zhengyu slowly opened his eyes. In the faint moonlight, he saw the little man huddled up next to him, and his heart suddenly tightened.
He leaned over and gently held Duanmu Xi into his arms, using his profound energy to dry the wet clothes on her body.
As if feeling the warmth, Duanmuxi subconsciously leaned towards the source of the warmth.
Lian Zhengyu's body instantly stiffened and he did not dare to move.
"Axue." Duanmuxi whispered unconsciously, a tear falling from the corner of his eye.
Looking at Duan Muxi who was flushed and kept talking nonsense, Lian Zhengyu had a bad feeling in his heart and raised his hand to gently cover her forehead.
The hot feeling on his forehead shocked Lian Zhengyu.
He spread his robe on the ground and carefully put her on it. He took out a clean handkerchief from his arms, soaked it with rainwater outside the cave, and gently placed it on her forehead. He didn't know medical skills, so he could only use this method to cool her down.
She turned around, found some branches in the cave, and lit a fire next to her. He sat by the fire and looked at her quietly.
The yellowish firelight reflected so warmly on her beautiful little face. He has never been a person who paid much attention to appearance, but he fell in love with such a stunning woman. Maybe it was this warmth that attracted him! In fact, as long as he can stay with her, it is a kind of happiness for him.
Duanmuxi had a high fever all night, and it slowly subsided when it was almost dawn. Lian Zhengyu took care of her all night without closing his eyes.
It wasn't until the afternoon that Duanmu Xi woke up. When he saw Lian Zhengyu beside him, he was stunned for a moment.
Lian Zhengyu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she was awake, "You're awake, are you still feeling uncomfortable?"
Hearing this, Duan Muxi raised the corners of his mouth slightly, shook his head and said, "Thank you."
Although she had a fever last night, she could vaguely feel that he was taking care of her.
He slowly sat up, but felt dizzy.
Seeing this, Lian Zhengyu hurriedly sat behind Duan Muxi, helped her up, and said worriedly, "You don't look good, why don't you lie down for a while!"
Hearing this, the corners of Duan Muxi's lips raised slightly, "There's no need to lie down. You'll get dizzy if you lie down for too long. I'll just sit down for a while and I'll be fine."
As if thinking of something, Duanmuxi said again, "By the way, didn't you go back to Xuanwu? Why are you here?"
Lian Zhengyu's face turned red when he heard this, "Actually, I returned to Baihu half a month ago."
He left Xia Houshan's body after returning it to Xuanwu. Before leaving, he broke away from the Lian family. He is now a free man, living not for Xuanwu or the Lian family, but only for himself.
"I want to be your secret guard." After hesitating for a moment, Lian Zhengyu finally spoke.
Secret guard? Duanmuxi was slightly stunned when he heard this, and blinked blankly, "Why?"
Isn't he General Lian from the Xuanwu Kingdom? Why did he suddenly come and say that he would be her secret guard
"Because...because I want to protect you." Although the handsome face had turned red, the dark green eyes were extremely determined. He wanted to protect her for the rest of his life.
Duanmuxi's heart skipped a beat. He must have liked her. He lowered his eyes slightly and collected all the emotions in his eyes. After a long time, he raised his eyes and looked at Lian Zhengyu and said seriously, "I'm getting married. You shouldn't waste time on me. I don't want to delay you. You should go find your own happiness."
Even if she is no longer with Xuanyuan Mo, she has never thought about finding another man again. He was a good man, a very pure good man, and she didn't want to give him hope or cause him any harm.
Happiness, his happiness is her. He knows very well what he wants. He doesn't want her love, nor does he want to get anything from her. He just simply wants to see her happy, that's all.
"Whether you agree or not, I will always be your secret guard." The voice was firm without any looseness.
Looking at those firm dark green eyes, Duanmu Xi's eyes flashed slightly and her lips raised slightly. It must be a kind of happiness to be liked by such a pure person!
