Chapter 41 The bellyband slipped off
After nightfall, the water in the pool became a little colder.
When her whole body sank into the water, the cold air gave her goose bumps all over her body.
After quickly adapting, she turned around to look in Pei Zhouwu's direction again. He was still sitting there with his back to her. She didn't know what he was thinking. She was the one who had taken off all her clothes, but he seemed to be the shy and nervous one. His back remained the same and never moved.
He is like the bright moon in the sky, hanging high in the sky, even out of reach.
It was just a reflection in the water. When I scooped it up with my hands, the reflection scattered and slipped through my fingers, leaving only my hands full of cold water.
What's the point of this.
If I don't pull him down and hold him in my arms against my heart, I will always feel itchy.
She paid attention to her surroundings, especially the places where insect attracting powder was sprinkled.
The cliffs surrounding the bamboo courtyard are covered with dense shrubs and flowers, which are most likely to hide snakes and insects. This is the time when snakes and insects are rampant. As it gets cooler at night, snakes prefer to come out and move around at this time.
She had seen Pei Zhouwu's ability to locate objects by sound, and his skill in using bamboo leaves as weapons to break through windows and shoot out.
So, she didn't worry about being bitten by the snake.
She touched the wound on her left hand underwater and it still hurt.
Pei Zhouwu had just warned her not to get her hand wet, but that worried look on her face was so beautiful that it made her feel unbearable.
Suddenly.
Her pupils dilated as she looked towards the left bank. The long black snake was particularly noticeable against the white sand and gravel.
Panic is real, and calm is necessary.
She calmly took a step back and looked at Pei Zhouwu again, frowned, leaned back and used her arms to splash water on the water to create a big noise.
Pei Zhouwu indeed glanced sideways slightly, but still did not turn his head directly.
I’m just afraid of accidentally seeing something I shouldn’t see.
However, the flapping sound from behind became louder and louder and seemed unable to stop.
If you sprain your ankle or get a cramp...
He was anxious, but he still overcame the etiquette of not looking at anything inappropriate and stood up.
Looking back, Liu Fuying had hidden behind a large rock at the edge of the pool. She had a terrified look on her face and was covering her mouth with her hands, as if she had seen something terrible. She was staggering as if she could not stand steadily. It looked like she had indeed sprained her ankle.
He walked closer quickly, and in the bright moonlight he soon saw the black snake on the sandy beach.
Instantly, he frowned.
Then he rolled and kicked, and a stone was shaken up from the ground and fell steadily into his hand. He clenched it tightly and shot it towards the black snake with unstoppable force, hitting it quickly and accurately in the vital point. Immediately, the snake turned over and began to twist.
Liu Fuying covered his eyes, but could not hide the excitement in his heart.
The black snake was no longer a threat, and Pei Zhouwu stopped where he was, not daring to get any closer.
It was really because Liu Fuying's appearance at the moment was not suitable for being seen by others.
Afraid that she would be embarrassed, he turned his back again.
When I think back to how she looked just now, I feel deeply distressed. Even though she was so scared, she still covered her mouth tightly and dared not shout, for fear of attracting the guards outside and causing trouble for him. And if he didn't notice what was happening there, what should she do?
His heartache was all a reaction to Liu Fuying's plan.
She had expected that he would turn his back and not dare to look any further.
"Don't be afraid, it can't move anymore. You can slowly come ashore."
Go ashore? Liu Fuying would not go ashore just like that.
"But, but my feet hurt, it seems..."
She stopped talking halfway, but the sound of splashing water started again. Pei Zhouwu turned around, but her figure was no longer on the water. There was only one hand slapping the water surface in pain, asking for help.
At this moment, he did not hesitate any longer.
He went into the water and reached out to scoop her up.
It’s just, it’s just…
It was just that Liu Fuying's bellyband strap was loose, and after struggling fiercely underwater, half of her body was almost exposed...
He also...saw it!
"I..." Pei Zhouwu stuttered, loosened his hand and was about to leave, "I...I'll go help you...get your clothes."
"But……"
As soon as he let go, Liu Fuying fell into the water again.
He was anxious and afraid, so his instinct was to pull her up, but he turned his head away, his whole body tensed and even his eyes were stiff.
"I can't stand." Liu Fuying sounded pitiful and almost cried.
Pei Zhou was so shrouded in fog that he didn't even dare to breathe. His face and ears were as red as if they were painted with rouge.
"Hold me up."
He turned stiffly and prepared to go to the shore.
After taking only two steps, Liu Fuying almost fell down again.
"I really can't leave."
Liu Fuying really looked like she was about to cry, but in fact, the corners of her mouth were curled up into a triumphant smile from an angle that Pei Zhouwu could not see as he looked straight ahead.
"...I." Pei Zhouwu suddenly choked.
If he could take off his clothes, he would have put them on her.
But he had his hands wrapped around the chains and couldn't take them off.
"You...you take your time...Aying!"
He was suddenly startled because Liu Fuying behind him pressed against him and hugged his waist.
"I have no face anymore." She said in a shy and fearful tone.
"Ah Ying..."
"You saw everything just now, right? You saw my...that."
"I didn't mean to do that, I didn't know... I'm sorry too."
"No matter how sorry I am, I have seen it."
"..." Pei Zhouwu choked again.
No matter how dangerous the situation was on the battlefield in the past, there had never been a moment as helpless as it was now.
He had never experienced this and didn't know how to deal with it.
"I'm sorry, Hotaru, I'm sorry."
He apologized repeatedly, but he didn't know that Liu Fuying behind him was smiling so hard that her face was full of smiles.
She loosened her grip slightly, slowly turned to Pei Zhouwu, put her arms around his neck and forced him to look down at her.
"You have to be responsible for me."
She looked at him with her eyes moving around, and after she finished speaking, she hooked his neck down and stood on tiptoe to kiss him.
Pei Zhouwu's eyes widened and he subconsciously wanted to pull her away.
But when he grabbed her arm and touched her bloody wound, he immediately pulled it back.
The sweetness of Liu Fuying penetrated between his lips and teeth.
His heart was beating wildly, and he was gradually losing his mind due to the temptation of the sweet fragrance.
From the initial agreement, slowly, he became fierce after being ignited.
I don't know when it started, but the chain in Pei Zhouwu's hand went around her back. As he embraced her with both hands, the cold chain stuck to her skin, scraping and causing a deeper throbbing in her heart.
Before he knew it, the strap around his neck had been untied by Liu Fuying.
The bellyband completely slipped off.
Perhaps Pei Zhou was too absorbed in the fog and didn't notice it.
The moon in the sky was hanging clearly in the night sky just now, but now it shyly hid in the gauze clouds.
The reflection in the water created ripples due to the movement, and although it was a little blurry, the outlines of the two people's affectionate embrace could still be seen.
I don’t know what kind of happiness this evening is, but Liu Fuying has also felt it slightly.
However, this is not enough.
