Chapter 13: Don't do this to a sentry on a rainy night...
A rainy night in Xicheng District, the capital’s base.
Xu Nuo followed Wei Yan wearing a raincoat that was two sizes larger than hers. As she walked, the wide hood of her clothes was hit by the rain and drooped down from her forehead, covering her entire face.
Wei Yan seemed to have eyes on the back of his head. As soon as his hat fell, he turned around and lifted it up, revealing his wrinkled white little face behind the black waterproof cloth.
Xu Nuo pouted and said, "Is there no raincoat in a smaller size?"
"Sorry," Wei Yan lowered his head to adjust the brim of her hat, "You came out late, so you can only wear mine."
He was also wearing a black raincoat. The two of them stood on the deserted city wall, one big and one small, like a pair of ghosts in a vulgar urban legend.
Xu Nuo: "So where are we going? Back to the academy? We're not going to sleep on the streets in the rain, are we?"
Wei Yan raised the corner of his mouth: "You don't seem to be very resistant?"
Xu Nuo protested: "No matter what kind of training it is, it cannot affect my classes tomorrow."
The sentry's eyes also overflowed with smiles, and he gestured for her to look into the distance: "We've arrived."
They stood atop a city wall over ten meters high. Outside, they saw a vast expanse of desolate land, while inside, they saw the slightly dilapidated streets of the city. Xu Nuo looked up, but through the veil of raindrops, he could only see the shadows of distant hills and abandoned high-rise buildings. His vision was completely dark, and he couldn't make out anything.
She looked again and again in confusion.
Wei Yan took her hands, which were hanging at her sides, and slowly and methodically placed his slender fingers into her palms. After interlocking their fingers, he softly reminded her, "Use my eyes."
Beneath the icy rain, his broad palms were warm and dry, conveying a constant warmth. Xu Nuo's face felt a little hot, but he didn't ask why, extending his spiritual tentacles.
Instead of summoning the wolf, he asked to use the "eyes". Does that mean he wants to connect directly without going through the spirit body?
Do you trust her so much?
Wei Yan answered her question with a completely defenseless attitude. His mental tentacles penetrated the sentry's body as if it were no man's land. The swamp-like mental power had no intention of resisting, and rushed towards her, shaking and trembling, wrapping, licking, and kissing, with excitement and joy.
Then she felt a familiar thick spirit trying to drag her into a deeper spiritual picture.
Here it comes again, the attempt to pull her into the picture and drain her dry...
The behavior of these spiritual groups more or less reflects Wei Yan's subconscious attitude towards her. It is understandable that he has a good impression of her and wants to get closer to her, but what does it mean that he always wants to drag her down with him?
I didn't expect that the senior, who usually looks so gentle and serious, is actually subconsciously in need of a guide to the point of being abnormal...
She rubbed his spirit with her tentacles in a playful manner, and heard a groan in her ear, and her hand, which was clasped with ten fingers, was suddenly lifted up and grasped tightly.
The rainstorm grew heavier and heavier, and the raindrops soaked the strands of hair that were left exposed, gathering into streams and dripping down the chin.
In the cold rain curtain, Wei Yan slowly opened his eyes, with a dark look in his eyes.
His suddenly unfamiliar gaze startled Xu Nuo, and she hurriedly stepped back, only to be suddenly gripped by the waist. Through the thick raincoat, the grip on her waist was brutal and hot, holding her still. In the cool, rainy night, it felt like a blazing, gnawing flame, threatening to soak through the fabric and set her skin ablaze.
The connection continued to deepen, and Xu Nuo trembled, "...Wei Yan?"
The man whose name was called had a calm look on his face. He clasped her five fingers with one hand and grasped her waist with the other. He walked closer until their bodies were tightly pressed together. He slowly lowered his head.
The raindrops were like waterfalls. The tall and straight sentry just tilted his narrow waist slightly, and his broad back completely enveloped her in his control. His strange yet familiar breath came with the night wind at this moment, locking her tightly and making it impossible for her to escape.
Xu Nuo swallowed his saliva and asked cautiously: "What's wrong with you?"
A muffled thunder exploded from the sky, and the lightning that followed illuminated the man's cold and deep profile.
The connection was nearly complete, but the situation seemed out of control. The man in front of him had dark, aggressive eyes. Xu Nuo kept retreating: "Wei Yan, don't do this, I'm scared..."
The thirsty mental power came back again, Xu Nuo's body was shaking, and he could hardly stand.
Wei Yan held her, lowered his head and moved closer, so close that he could clearly count the other's eyelashes and skin lines. The hot air exhaled between his lips and teeth rubbed the bright red lips that seemed to be about to touch, but they were obviously very close, but he hesitated to touch them.
At such a close distance, and under the influence of the mental connection, Xu Nuo struggled with the last bit of rationality left and pursed his lips and said, "No, I can't..."
The rainstorm was still raging, huge and heavy raindrops hit the ground, splashing onto the people and the two people's clasped hands, but the man's mental strength showed no signs of stopping.
Xu Nuo's eyes flickered: "Wei Yan..."
Wei Yan finally stopped.
He stared at her gravely, a dark tide surging in his eyes. For a long moment, until the storm in his eyes gradually subsided, he suddenly pulled away and said in a hoarse voice, "Did I scare you?"
Xu Nuo bit his lip and said nothing.
Wei Yan sighed softly, raised his hand to touch her lips, freed her from her tight lip bite, and rubbed them, saying, "Don't do this to a sentry casually, okay?"
She was at a loss.
Wei Yan suppressed the dark look in his eyes and sighed, "Today's training will be suspended. I will take you back to the academy."
…
After returning to the dormitory, Xu Nuo slept very uneasily.
She was in a trance and had a bizarre dream. In the dream, she was being chased and had to hide and escape in the streets and alleys. She was so hungry that she had to rummage through garbage cans. She had no food to eat and no clothes to wear.
In the dream, she was still a child, with new wounds of various sizes, needle holes and old scars from stitches. On rainy nights, the bones deep in her flesh would ache dully.
She was constantly being hunted, running to many places, sneaking into contaminated areas, and nearly died at the hands of mutants several times. She also designed plans to make those who were chasing her fall into the mouths of mutants.
I don’t know how long I ran, but when I looked down, I found that I was still a small body. When I raised my eyes, my body, exhausted from not eating enough, stumbled and fell into the water!
“Save me…”
"Help……"
The surging water suffocated her painfully. She waved her limbs but to no avail. The water was like a monster that had been waiting for a long time, opening its mouth and swallowing her as soon as she fell.
Soon, the surging water came, and the quiet lake surface rippled a few times before it became silent.
She stopped struggling and fell into a deep sleep in the water, but she could vaguely hear a few muffled cries: "Wake up, wake up!"
"Xu Nuo, wake up!"
“Wake up!”
The morning sun's rays caught his eyes. Xu Nuo raised his hand to shield himself from the sun and smacked his lips, "What's wrong? Isn't today the weekend?"
Huang Li said excitedly: "Something big has happened!"
"Big news? The school exploded?!" Xu Nuo climbed up, but he used too much force and the muscles that hadn't recovered well yesterday immediately started to ache again, "hiss——"
She gritted her teeth and said, "Lili, if it's not a big deal, you're done!"
Huang Li said seriously: "It's not a big deal, it's a big deal."
Her expression was serious. "Last night, a serious collapse occurred in Xicheng District. A huge pit collapsed near the old street, and the entire city wall in that area was broken."
