Chapter 408 The Rain Never Stops
When Huali went inside, she found that even the soft couch, curtains, and pillows by the window were exactly the same.
She still remembers how Wen Jin was wrapped up like a silkworm back then.
this......?
Karin didn't know whether to be surprised or horrified.
"Mm," Wen Jin replied, standing behind her.
After Soli died, the entire royal city was destroyed, but this place was the only one he brought back intact.
He especially loved to lean against this couch and listen to the rain alone when it rained.
Only in this way could he feel that the existence of Karin was not a dream.
Upon receiving Wen Jin's confirmation, Hua Li immediately began to wander around the house.
She found her way to the corner behind the door. Sure enough, the words she had secretly used to curse Zhang Dezhu were still there, crooked and ugly.
Huali squatted there, giggling.
This feeling is strange.
I didn't think it was anything special at the time, but when I revisited the place years later, I always had an indescribable feeling.
Even those ordinary days began to shine.
Hua Li, like a little lion, began to survey her territory. Wen Jin followed silently a few steps behind her, his eyes deep and unfathomable; no one knew what he was thinking.
Only after Huali had thoroughly inspected the courtyard did she slowly sit cross-legged on the soft couch, gazing out the window.
Hmm, it would be nice if it rained right now...
Raindrops patter on the leaves, the air is filled with the fresh scent of earth, and then just staying indoors doing nothing is very comfortable.
"Tick-tock—"
"Tick-tock—"
Just as the idea popped into my head, the twilight sky suddenly merged with a patch of dark gray clouds.
Then, one, two... raindrops, like broken crystals, fell continuously from the eaves above.
First, it tapped on the leaves, then splashed up a fine mist. Then, to the astonishment of the rosewood, it wove together a transparent veil.
Hua Li turned to look at Wen Jin, "Can you read minds?"
She didn't say anything just now, how did he know?
Wen Jin stood in front of the open door, not answering immediately, but just looking at her quietly.
The misty curtain of water blurred the Demon Lord's gloomy and handsome face. Only her pale golden eyes clearly reflected her figure.
Wen Jin walked a few steps to her side.
“I don’t need mind reading.” He raised his hand, his fingertips not touching Karin, but merely pointing lightly at her heart, then slowly moving towards himself.
"You're here."
Therefore, he can sense any joy, anger, expectation, or even a single thought.
The rain pattered softly on the stone steps, as if whispering some secret.
In the dimly lit room, Huali stared blankly at the sea of emotions that had welled up in Wen Jin's eyes for her, and then suddenly smiled.
The pretty little girl's lips curved into a smile, and her eyes followed suit, like a crescent moon suddenly lit up in the night sky.
The bittersweet feeling, just stirred by the withered roses, becomes even more intense here.
Hua Li waved to him, "Wen Jin, come here, I want to kiss you."
The frank and honest words made Wen Jin's Adam's apple bob. Without any hesitation, he obediently leaned down, lowered his head, and moved closer to Hua Li.
Their breaths mingled in the moist air.
Looking at the handsome face so close to hers, and the undisguised, almost overwhelming emotions in Wen Jin's eyes, Hua Li tilted her head back and gently kissed the beauty mark at the corner of his eye.
Wen Jin's breathing suddenly became heavier, and his suppressed emotions erupted like a volcano.
But he did nothing.
He let Huali follow the nose to the corner of his lips, and then gently press her lips to his.
The kiss was light, like a butterfly resting on a petal, carrying a solemn sincerity and longing.
Feeling the unreserved warmth and softness, Wen Jin gently placed his hand on the back of Hua Li's head. His palm applied slight pressure, his fingertips caressing her loose hair, conveying silent comfort and encouragement.
then--
In this little courtyard, treasured by time, amidst the rain that fell because of her, their kiss was like the ceaseless rain, delicate and lingering.
After a long while, Huali slowly opened her eyes.
The sweet sensation, like melting snow in spring, spread from the depths of my heart.
Perhaps because her heart was overflowing with sweetness, she subconsciously wanted to prolong the feeling.
Hua Li thought for a moment and stepped back slightly. Wen Jin subconsciously wanted to chase after her, but she reached out and pressed her hand against his chest.
"Wen Jin, I want to eat candy."
Wen Jin, who had been lost in thought, froze and sat up straight without making a sound.
"The kind of sweet rosewood is best eaten on a rainy day," she said meaningfully.
Wen Jin's eyes darted around. "There's no food here right now, let's go back..."
Huali: "Give it to me."
Wen Jin: "..." remained motionless.
Huali raised an eyebrow: "Three numbers, three..."
Wen Jin raised his hand, and the sugar-painted figurine appeared in his palm. But he didn't hand it to her immediately; instead, his brows furrowed unconsciously as he glanced at it, then looked at it again...
Huali found his appearance strangely cute, but without hesitation, she grabbed him.
She quickly opened the barrier and held it to his lips. "Candy is meant to be eaten, you know. This stuff has an expiration date. If you leave it for too long, it'll be a waste."
Wen Jin: "..." I've read it but won't reply.
"Sigh... Wen Jin, look at me." Hua Li looked into his somewhat dazed eyes and patiently guided him:
“If you want a deeper bond with me, a longer future…” Her fingertips traced the back of his hand, gently sliding to his wrist, carrying a soothing and connecting power, “you should eat it, and then tell me honestly—”
"Huali, the candy is all gone. It was delicious. I want more."
Wen Jin was slightly taken aback.
But Huali's eyes were filled with anticipation and unwavering faith in the future:
"Then I'll make it for you again, or we can try it together."
"In this way, our story about 'sweetness' will never end, and there will always be new chapters."
Wen Jin's pupils slowly contracted.
“You gave to me, and I accepted it. I gave to you, and you enjoyed it. The bond between us will be like a river, growing deeper and longer, forever and ever, never drying up.”
He opened his mouth, but... he couldn't utter a single word.
His life, from birth, was one of deprivation, confinement, oppression, and torment. He was accustomed to grasping at everything he could, using obsessive methods to cherish and preserve it.
He was unwilling to share because he already possessed too little.
But only now did he realize that true love also exists in the ever-flowing act of giving and receiving.
Suddenly—
The Demon Lord's eyes, which always held a gloomy and weary quality, flushed with an uncontrollable red.
He abruptly lowered his eyelashes, trying to conceal this sudden loss of control.
Silence spread amidst the pattering rain. Wen Jin took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his surging emotions, then looked up and silently pushed the candy back to Hua Li.
You eat first.
Huali deftly opened her mouth and "snap" bit off the little man's head completely.
"Alright, it's your turn."
"..." Wen Jin looked at the sugar figurine, which was now only half-finished: "...Was it delicious?"
I took a bite of the rosewood and exclaimed, "Crispy..."
Before she could finish speaking, Wen Jin had already leaned down and precisely captured her lips.
The Demon Lord's lips were slightly cool as they gently pressed against hers, their breaths mingling, a faint sweetness lingering between their noses.
Karin was slightly taken aback by his sudden action.
The sugar figurine in their mouths slowly melted, and a sweet orange flavor spread more and more intensely between their tightly pressed lips and teeth.
Wen Jin slowly extended his tongue and gently licked her lower lip.
The rich sweet orange combined with the scent of rosewood creates an electric current.
Wen Jin was no longer satisfied with just scratching the surface.
Instead, with a stubborn longing, he gently pried open her teeth and clearly found the melting sugar.
Their lips intertwined, delicately outlining the sweetness in their hearts.
Karin was momentarily stunned by his meticulous yet possessive actions, her consciousness seemingly melting away in the scorching heat, along with the sugar.
