On a winter afternoon, the sun was brilliant, yet the chill remained palpable.
Chapter 59 After Drowning...
The wind was whistling in my ears, and I was held tightly in those arms, unable to move.
"Let me go!" I struggled.
The arms behind him remained as still as a mountain.
"elder sister!"
"Let go of my sister..."
Behind him, the dog chased after him, such a small figure, such a stubborn child.
"elder sister!"
That almost tearing sound grew fainter and fainter...
The dog's cries grew fainter and fainter until they were left far behind, becoming barely audible.
But that small figure never stopped, even in that hopeless pursuit.
"Let me go! Let me go!" I was filled with hatred and bit his arm hard until a sweet, metallic taste slowly spread between my lips and teeth.
After a moment of hesitation, I agreed.
He remained completely oblivious, showing no sign of slowing down.
The moonlight was like silver. I bit my lip and stared intently at the cursed bracelet on my left wrist. Bathed in moonlight, it gleamed with an eerie luster, like an invisible rope binding me and imprisoning me...
On one side of the road was a shimmering lake, sparkling with tiny silver specks.
I slowly reached into my shoulder bag, pulled out a Swiss Army knife, gritted my teeth, and plunged it into the horse's neck.
Warm, fresh blood gushed out, carrying a fishy smell, and splashed onto my face.
The horse, in pain, let out a long neigh and went berserk, spinning and leaping in place, trying to throw the person off its back.
The reins suddenly came loose, and before those arms could pull me off the horse, I was thrown off violently.
Using that force, I plunged into the water.
The lake water was icy cold. I held my breath and submerged myself, looking at the shore through the water.
The instant I was thrown from my horse, Cao Cao drew his sword, sliced off the horse's head with a single stroke, and then leaped into the lake after me, using the horse's spine as a stepping stone.
"Smile!"
"Xiaoxiao, where are you!"
He slapped the water's surface, and despite his usual composure in the face of imminent disaster, he showed a hint of panic.
"Xiaoxiao..." he shouted, his body sinking slightly as he took a sip of water before floating back to the surface. "Xiaoxiao..."
I remained submerged silently, watching the man, who had remained calm even in the face of death, struggle in the water, his face filled with fear.
"Xiaoxiao..." he kept shouting, and drank a lot more water. His hair came undone, wet and messy, covering his forehead.
He can't swim?
He can't swim?
I stared wide-eyed as he thrashed about in the water, splashing water everywhere, but his tall body gradually sank into the water.
"Xiaoxiao..." His breathing weakened, and his struggles became less and less intense.
I stared blankly as he slowly sank into the water. His bright purple robe shimmered with a cold blue hue in the water, and his jet-black hair rippled and floated like water plants.
His narrow eyes were half-closed, his thin lips were slightly pursed, and he floated up and down in the water without struggling anymore.
He can't swim... so why did he jump into the water?
You want to save me?
Cao Cao was not such a presumptuous person; he would never belittle his life for anyone.
He won't...
I tried to convince myself.
But her hands moved faster and faster as she rushed towards him...
When I held his hand, it was fair and slender, with calluses on his palm and distinct knuckles. It was a little cold, probably because it had been soaked in water.
I suddenly remembered that silver hairpin. He had worked on the hairpin that he gave me, leaving countless tiny scratches on his palms.
"Aman." I murmured in the water, exhaling a string of bubbles, like a fish.
His eyes were slightly closed, and he did not move at all.
"Aman!" I panicked a little, grabbed his waist, and used the buoyancy of the water to run towards the lake.
I leaped out of the water, wiped the water off my face, and turned to look at Aman. He was leaning against me, his head hanging limply, still motionless, his face terribly pale.
With difficulty, she held him by the waist and dragged him ashore.
Trembling, I reached out to check his breath, then collapsed to the ground, shaking uncontrollably.
he……
Cao Cao... a powerful and ruthless figure... drowned while trying to save me?
How could this be!
History is definitely not written this way!
"Aman! Aman! Wake up! Aman..." I shook him, but he didn't respond at all.
I pressed his abdomen with my hands folded together, trying to get him to vomit the water inside, but he clenched his teeth and didn't move.
I began to panic.
"Aman...don't scare me...Aman!"
I knelt down and leaned forward, took a deep breath, and covered his cold lips with mine, slowly transferring the air from my mouth into his mouth.
Suddenly, I felt a tightness on my back as an arm wrapped around it. Before I knew it, I was lying in his arms.
I was startled. "You..." I opened my mouth, but then I felt his tongue brazenly slip into my mouth and entwine with mine.
I stood there dumbfounded, letting him do whatever he wanted, when a tingling sensation spread throughout my body.
His lips grew hot from the gentle, persistent kisses, burning like fire.
A large hand slipped quietly inside my clothes, slowly covering my ample bosom. I trembled, feeling a surge of heat throughout my body, and couldn't help but moan softly.
That palm seemed to possess magic; wherever it touched, there was a tingling, itchy, warm, and strange sensation.
My eyes gradually blurred, and I subconsciously clenched my teeth, but his tongue pried them open.
He unbuttoned my clothes with one hand, and his palm slowly stroked my back, bringing a shiver to my face.
I felt a slight burning sensation on my abdomen; something hot and firm was pressing against it. I woke up with a start and struggled to sit up.
What am I doing?
"Mmm..." I shook my head.
He wouldn't let go of me, a smile in his eyes, still holding my tongue in his mouth as if it were a delicious delicacy.
I felt my cheeks flush red, as if they were on fire.
With a slight loosening at the waist, the belt was ripped open, and the hand extended downwards.
I stared at him wide-eyed in disbelief, then shook my head violently, "Let go...uh...uh...let me go..."
Feeling his hand groping me so brazenly, I glared at him and bit him.
He let out a soft gasp, released my lips, and a drop of crimson liquid slid down the corner of his mouth.
I scrambled off him in a panic, my legs still numb and I couldn't stand up straight, so I fell to the ground.
I hurriedly wrapped my clothes around myself and glared at him fiercely.
He remained lying on the ground with an air of ease, slowly licking away the bright red stain from the corner of his mouth. His narrow eyes were deep and unfathomable. He stared at me with a half-smile, then lowered his gaze.
I followed his gaze and looked at his unabashed erection. The fire that had just subsided suddenly ignited again. My face turned red, and I looked away. Then I cursed inwardly, "This is no time to be shy!"
I turned around and glared at him fiercely. I straightened my disheveled clothes, stood up, and walked angrily to his side.
“At this time… it’s best to stay away from me.” He said casually.
I was taken aback, sensing that he wasn't as relaxed as he appeared; his slightly rapid breathing betrayed his secret.
I grinned and laughed, then defiantly stuck out the tip of my tongue and licked my slightly dry lips.
Immediately, the panting became heavy again.
I put my hands on my hips, completely forgetting the embarrassing situation I had just been in, and laughed out loud.
"If you start another fire, you'll face the consequences." His voice was restrained, but he stared at the warning, a hint of embarrassment in his eyes.
I laughed wildly as I backed away, sticking my tongue out at him, "Come on, come on!"
He stared at me helplessly for a while, and then suddenly laughed.
