Chapter 22 Plants need pollination to bloom, so tonight she…
So tonight, she was lost in thought, her mind wandering far away. She thought she had hidden it well, but little did she know how direct and intense that gaze was.
The cold beauty beneath the blazing flames is even more beautiful, her eyes and brows exuding a captivating charm. In particular, the beauty wears a red dress, which is even more fiery than the flames, and Shi Wenzhe is already infatuated.
Everything was fine until she smelled that strange fragrance. She became dizzy and feverish, as if she had been drugged, and wanted to bloom.
This is not good, because as everyone knows, plants need to be pollinated before they can flower...
"Hehe." It's truly suffocating to hear; Shi Wenzhe was already completely exhausted.
With a "thud," Shi Wen collapsed to the ground, unable to get up. She looked up and gasped for breath, her expression dazed, her cheeks flushed, and even her eyes were filled with boundless spring-like allure.
Actually, the little white flowers under the lush lamplight were also very beautiful, but Shi Wenzhe couldn't see them herself, so she didn't know that the little white flowers were pure and flawless, and under the warm yellow candlelight, they were plated with a layer of golden light, and even the ancient copper coins began to gleam.
The entire cave was filled with the sweet floral fragrance emanating from Shi Wenzhe. The scent was alluring and made no attempt to conceal her desire. Qin Wenxue raised his eyebrows, his eyes suddenly turning fierce and sharp. He looked at Shi Wenzhe as if he were looking at a dead man, his whole body exuding a murderous aura, even the temperature dropped. Shi Wenzhe's heart sank, every breath felt like a slow, agonizing torture, a silent interrogation from Qin Wenxue.
"Don't...don't be angry," Shi Wenzhe said with difficulty. "I might have eaten something that caused poisoning." She tried to prop herself up, but her arms were trembling and weak, and no matter how she struggled, she would slip and fall to the ground every time.
"This is suffocating," she thought. "Is she really such a scoundrel? This world not only wants her dead, but it also wants her to die. Heavens, she's just a nobody who can be crushed at will, why treat her like this?"
Qin Wenxue was the kindest person to her in the world. How could she be so rude and insulting? She was sweating profusely. The burning sensation in her body was already tormenting, like countless ants gnawing and devouring her abdomen. This added fuel to the fire for no reason, a fire called burning anxiety.
But when a person is anxious, all their thoughts disappear. Shi Wenzhe looked around listlessly and subconsciously looked up for help, pitifully gazing at Qin Wenxue, who kept everyone at arm's length.
Qin Wenxue seemed furious, or rather, he was in a bad mood. His emotions were unusually outward, and his chest heaved rapidly. He didn't glance at Shi Wenzhe at all, but instead leaned against the stone wall to catch his breath, gritting his teeth as he said, "Get out." He wished he could tear Shi Wenzhe to pieces.
Hearing about the breakup made my heart sink again, almost as if I were standing on the edge of a cliff, feeling utterly helpless and absurd.
“But I was rude first,” Shi Wenzhe thought. “I deserve to be disliked.” She tried to prop herself up again, but her cloak slipped to the ground, revealing two thin, frail arms, like delicate bouquets.
Her lips were bitten until they bled, her mouth filled with a metallic taste, and Shi Wenzhe coughed uncontrollably, her face turning red and tears glistening in the corners of her eyes. She was too weak to argue, but she was truly powerless, her voice almost broken: "I'm sorry... but I..." she gasped for breath and continued, "but I have no strength."
After saying that, she collapsed to the ground, turning into a pool of spring water, reflecting the alluring moonlight and the resentful beauty under the moon.
Shi Wenzhe lay face up, staring at the dark stone wall, her heart dead. Flames licked at her fingertips. She was lost in the pain, unwilling to come out, repeatedly reminding herself that this was the punishment for offending Qin Wenxue.
A sharp glare pierced through her. Shi Wenzhe was now a dead dog, too ashamed to face anyone, powerless, her body and heart riddled with holes. She turned her head away, her pupils bloodshot, looking at Qin Wenxue with a pitiful and guilty expression. Qin Wenxue's eyes were bloodshot, the silver chain hanging in mid-air swaying back and forth, making her heart flutter even more. She closed her eyes, her heart dead, and bit her tongue hard. The stinging pain went straight to her heart, making her scalp tingle with pleasure.
"Heavens..." Shi Wenzhe's eyes twitched, wishing he could kill himself with a single blow: "This is too shameless! How could this happen? How could this happen? Shi Wenzhe, how can you still feel pleasure at a time like this? This is truly a death sentence..."
"Hehehe." She was almost laughing at herself.
"Don't be angry..." She tried again to get up, but apart from her face hitting the ground several times, she made no progress. Small cuts were left on her face from the pebbles, making her look disheveled and pitiful. She gave up and said, "I really can't move." She closed her eyes and decided to apologize first, saying pitifully, "I'm sorry."
She was actually suffering a lot, as a current of energy rushed straight into her heart and abdomen, making her body burn hot. She couldn't help but want to turn back into her original form, to become a little white flower and plant it in the ground, and then do... she didn't know what to do, but a voice in her mind told her that as long as she became a little white flower, she would be freed.
But she didn't dare. She looked timidly at Qin Wenxue. This person was really angry. How could she dare... Heavens, she was truly bewitched. Why did she have to suffer such torment? But she really wanted to unleash her true nature and become a little white flower, throwing a tantrum...
"This is absolutely outrageous! Aaaaaaaahh ...
Qin Wenxue… She secretly glanced at Qin Wenxue and saw the veins on her hand… It looked quite erotic.
"Damn it." Shi Wenzhe covered her face, both laughing and crying. Why was she still thinking about such nonsense at a time like this? The guilt in her heart was almost tangible. She felt wronged like a little puppy and said with difficulty, "I'm sorry, I'm really not presentable. Why don't you hit me?"
"Was it the fruit from this afternoon?" she wondered. "But Qin Wenxue ate that fruit too, and he was fine. Was it the mushrooms we picked behind the cave earlier?"
The mushrooms had many bird peck marks on them, clearly indicating they were edible. She even saw a deer in the woods, which was also nibbling on the mushrooms. She was just being greedy and wanted to eat some wild game, and she cooked them over a fire before eating them. She couldn't possibly have been poisoned or hallucinating.
Her vision began to blur, her eyelids felt heavy and her limbs were weak. Qin Wenxue looked like she wanted to kill herself. No one was cleaning up this mess. She kept despising her own hateful thoughts and even wanted to escape to the cave and die in despair.
In the last moment before she lost consciousness, her lips moved. Shi Wenzhe originally wanted to apologize, hoping that the other party could calm down and not hold it against her, but she couldn't speak. She thought Qin Wenxue would be very angry and wish she could kill her.
But Qin Wenxue was also breathing rapidly. She heard the man's suppressed groans of pain. He seemed to be enduring great pain. Shi Wenzhe's heart tightened. He didn't know what was wrong with him.
"Could it really be poisoning? But Qin Wenxue didn't eat mushrooms... It's really not right for such a detached person to show such a vulnerable expression..." she thought. "How innocent this beauty is, she really doesn't want this person to suffer..."
Qin Wenxue clutched his heart and slowly knelt down. The little white dog in his arms fell to the ground and rolled around a few times. Its white fur was covered in dust, but he couldn't spare any attention to take care of it. His expression was pained and restrained.
The flames flickered silently. Qin Wenxue's eyelashes trembled slightly, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead. He seemed to be in so much pain that he was about to faint. He could only lean against the cave wall to catch his breath. The strange fragrance became even stronger...
Under the intense assault of the strange fragrance, Shi Wenzhe finally couldn't resist, and in the silent night, the flames burst forth with sparks once more.
With a "plop," the clothes fell to the ground, and a small white flower appeared beside the fire. The flower drooped its head, looking listless and fast asleep. The flickering flames and the copper coin that had fallen on the clothes emitted a faint red glow.
Qin Wenxue dug his fingernails into the cave wall, and blood slowly slid down. He glanced at the withered little white flower, closed his eyes tightly, and the veins on his neck were clearly visible. Then he let out a muffled groan.
He struggled to his feet, gently placed the little white dog next to the little white flower, picked up his fallen clothes, draped them over the two of them, and then staggered out of the cave, supporting himself against the cave wall.
The cave was silent, except for the melodious chirping of birds that echoed through the valley, the howling of wolves that sounded towards the moon, and the rustling of insects. The strange fragrance eventually dissipated with the wind, and the pile of firewood gradually went out.
Shi Wenzhe had a dream in which she saw a beautiful butterfly. The butterfly was the size of a peony, with wings like thin gauze, and was as dreamy as bubbles under the sunlight. It was pink, white, green, and blue, emitting a crystal silver light. Its tail was long and soft, and when it danced in the air, it left long trails of shimmering pink scales.
Shi Wenzhe was stunned again. She had never seen such a beautiful creature before. The butterfly seemed to be a curious creature that had suddenly wandered in, and it landed on her shoulder and fluttered its wings.
Shi Wenzhe dared not move, afraid of scaring the butterflies away. She slowly sat down and watched the fluttering butterflies for a very, very long time, until the moment she woke up from her dream.
When she awoke from her dream, Shi He felt a sense of loss and couldn't come to her senses for a long time. The sun was already shining into the cave, and the chirping of birds rang out. She shook her head and felt something warm in her arms. Looking up, she saw a white ball of fur curled up in her arms, shivering slightly, probably because it felt cold.
Shi Wenzhe suddenly woke up. The cave was empty, and the familiar figure was nowhere to be seen. She carried the puppy and walked unsteadily out of the cave. The sunlight was too dazzling, and a tear involuntarily rolled down her cheek.
"Qin Wenxue..." she called out in a hoarse voice, but the grass and trees remained unchanged, and no one answered outside the cave. Shi Wenzhe felt a dull ache in her heart, and unease touched her nerves. She called Qin Wenxue's name again and again, her voice almost hoarse, trying to get some response, but apart from the rustling of insects, there was nothing else.
Her legs were so weak she could barely stand. She trembled as she tried to go down the mountain to find someone, but as she stood up, a person slowly walked down from the foot of the mountain. The person was still dressed in red, which was blown by the wind in a beautiful arc. His hair was slightly messy, with a silver chain knotted in his hair. He was slender and handsome, and his eyes were somewhat tired. Qin Wenxue saw Shi Wenzhe's worried gaze linger on the spot, standing under the fruit tree and looking at her from afar.
The wind is picking up.
Shi Wenzhe finally felt relieved and chuckled. Like a silly girl, she limped towards Qin Wenxue without thinking. She touched him all over and only relaxed after finding no injuries on his body.
She mumbled, looking aggrieved, "Where did you go? I thought you didn't want me anymore."
