Lu Wenjun was awakened by the sound of gurgling water echoing in her ears. She fluttered her eyelashes, trembling as she opened her eyes slightly from her drowsiness, and found herself in the depths of a dense forest, lying on a huge rock growing by a wild stream. The surroundings were full of lush trees, and the dense canopies covered the sky like an umbrella, making it difficult to tell the direction even in the daytime. The Huer was opposite her, sitting quietly on the branch of an old banyan tree lying by the stream, staring at her without blinking. When she opened her eyes, he jumped down from the tree trunk, rustling, and walked towards her on the thorns and dead branches and leaves growing by the stream.
"woke up?"
He walked to the side of the lying stone, smiled at her, revealing a set of sharp white teeth, then took out an embroidered shoe from his bosom, his eyes fell on her feet, and stretched out his hand as if to put on the shoe for her.
The scenes before he fainted flashed through Lu Wenjun's mind like lanterns.
After Li Wanwan fell asleep due to sleepiness, she became more and more angry the more she thought about it. Suddenly, she thought that Lu Wenzhong might be timid and afraid to fully convey her meaning due to his status as King Kang. On impulse, she went out by herself, naturally without asking anyone to follow her, and went to the place where they had agreed to meet. She wanted to make things clear in person to prevent King Kang from doing something similar next time.
She never expected that she would not meet her brother who had not returned for a long time, nor would she see King Kang. When she entered the forest and found the place where King Kang was to meet, she actually saw the shadow of Hu'er.
At that time, the distance was still far and the shadows were dim. She didn't know why he came here. She only saw him going deep into the dense forest.
Although she had warned herself countless times in her heart and mouth not to think about this heartless and heartless wanderer, when she saw this person whom she hadn't seen for a while, she couldn't control herself and followed him all the way until she saw clearly what this Hu'er had done...
God damn it! What kind of evil spirit is he, to dare to do such a horrible and violent thing.
Just as his hand was about to touch her legs and feet, Lu Wenjun completely woke up. The pain of being strangled to death a moment ago still remained on her neck. She shrank her legs in horror, and used her hands and feet to crawl back desperately, trying her best to avoid the approach of the person in front of her.
Chengping's gaze lingered on her pale face full of fear, then passed over her neck skin which was left with a few bruised red fingerprints. Without forcing her, he gently placed the embroidered shoes at her feet and pointed behind her: "Be careful not to fall into the water."
"Don't be afraid. I won't do anything to you."
The handsome face in front of her was filled with a gentleness that Lu Wenjun had never seen before. At this moment, the tone of his voice and the look he gave her were like that of a gentle man, not the vicious man who had killed and buried a body a moment ago.
She looked on in amazement.
The cool breeze blew through the creek and forest, making her shiver. He immediately took off his coat that carried his body temperature and wrapped it around her shivering shoulders.
Then, in Lu Wenjun's ears, a whisper of love rang out again: "My princess, you must have forgotten that spring afternoon four years ago! I came to Chang'an to be conferred the title, and I met you under the cherry blossom tree in the field outside the city. You have never returned the clothes I lent you to cover your body!"
