"Are you really okay?" Holding Leng You, the fragrance of grapes that he had missed for many years now bound his heart like a rope, causing Xiang Wentian's breath, which he had just regained, to be suddenly strangled again, and his heart ached so much that it almost stopped.
He couldn't imagine a delicate little girl using a knife to dig bullets out of her delicate body, although he knew that the word delicate did not apply to Leng You.
But everything was caused by him. It was he who dragged Leng You into this vortex for the sake of his so-called cause of family and country, and it was he who caused Leng You to suffer such danger, hardship and pain.
"Brother, don't worry." Like when they were children, Leng You gently pulled Xiang Wentian's collar.
Xiang Wentian's heart softened instantly.
"I'll carry you to a sheltered place to rest for a while." When he spoke again, Xiang Wentian's voice was particularly hoarse.
He picked up Leng You and walked towards the dry and flat area under the cliff.
"You are injured too!" The moment Xiang Wentian picked her up, Leng You subconsciously raised her right hand and hugged his neck. Although she was weak, she still used the fingertips of her left hand to touch the wrist that Xiang Wentian held under her armpit.
"No, it's the enemy's blood." Xiang Wentian took two deep breaths before adjusting his breathing.
With the help of the moonlight that had already risen, she wanted to verify more clearly that Leng You was indeed fine as she said.
However, when he met those eyes that were as clear and cool as the deep valley of an iceberg, as dark as a thousand-year-old cold pond, and as bright as the moon in the sky, Xiang Wentian was stunned.
The eyes that always appeared in his dreams for the past ten years were so inconsistent with her age, like obsidian, agate, glass and crystal. Now, on this flawless face, they fit so well, so perfect, and so shocking.
For a moment, Xiang Wentian felt that his soul was sucked into the double waves, as if falling into a deep clear pond, and his soul was cleansed to become light and clean.
At the same time, Leng You was also stunned there.
This is really not the young Xiang Wentian from ten years ago, but the bloodthirsty, cold-blooded and ruthless man that everyone talks about ten years later. He is also the Xiang Sanye who she saw in the last moments of her previous life, the man who was extremely powerful, decisive in killing but also someone that people dared not approach.
No, not entirely. Facing the deep starry eyes beneath the sword-like eyebrows, Leng You found a hint of tenderness, a hint of anxiety, a hint of heartache, and an unconcealable guilt in them.
But she didn't catch or understand what that fleeting strange light meant.
"Let me take a look." Leng You's heart started beating wildly for some reason, different from ten years ago.
So he concealed it by pressing Xiang Wentian's pulse with his fingertips.
"It's okay." Xiang Wentian should have refused, but for some reason he just let Leng You's slightly cool fingertips touch his wrist. His heartbeat suddenly stopped, and then became frantic.
"Why is your heart rate so fast?" Leng You frowned slightly.
"It's because I just came down from the valley!" Xiang Wentian explained in a panic.
"Oh!" Leng You was sure that Xiang Wentian really had no internal or external injuries. He stared at his face for a long time with a little confusion, but finally no longer had any doubts.
"Rest first..."
"Brother..." Leng You suddenly opened her eyes wide and stared in surprise at the place where her wrist and Xiang Wentian's neck met.
A ray of light that was a mixture of purple and green, like mist and smoke, was slowly rising from there, from shallow to deep, from a small ball to a large ball, and finally completely enveloping the two of them.
