Chapter 224 Zhu Feng also has moments of being weak
Nan Yan suddenly realized what she had just said.
This sentence was too ambiguous, as if I was inviting him.
But, I swear to God, I was just subconsciously asking what he would do if I slept in this bed!
In an instant, her face turned red.
"I, I'm not—I didn't…"
Seeing her panic-stricken look, Zhu Feng felt as if his heart was pricked by a needle.
She was so flustered, I'm afraid she was just trying to hide it...
Although the hidden fire of karma in his heart had never been extinguished, he felt powerless when he thought of how she had just rushed to his tent without caring about her life and even threw herself into his arms.
This is the first time.
Zhu Feng, unexpectedly, also had moments of powerlessness.
After a long silence, he said in a low voice, "Don't say anything. I don't want to hear it."
After saying that, he turned and walked to the other side of the tent, sat down at the table, picked up the military newspaper on the table and started reading.
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the tent dropped to freezing point again.
Nan Yan's face was still a little red, but when she saw Zhu Feng sitting on the other side, she felt a little confused.
Before, the emperor seemed intolerant of her existence, and now, he let her stay in his tent overnight. What was he thinking?
Why do I always make inexplicable mistakes?
She couldn't figure it out, so she could only lie back down slowly, looking at the cold face in the flickering candlelight, but just now, his hand was burning hot.
The touch left on my ankle seems to still be there.
Nan Yan was in a state of confusion, but she couldn't resist the waves of fatigue that came over her. She slowly curled up in the quilt and closed her eyes.
Quiet campsite, quiet tent.
Zhu Feng stared at the military newspaper but could not see a single word for a long time. After an unknown amount of time, he heard the sound of even breathing in the darkness.
When I put down the military newspaper, I saw that Si Nanyan had fallen asleep.
He stood up, walked over gently, and went to the bedside, looking at the little girl's peaceful sleeping face.
How could a flower branch that is so slender and fragile, as if it would be broken by a strong wind, have the courage to rush into his tent in the midst of the chaos and swords outside?
Isn't she the one who fears death the most?
He couldn't help but reach out his hand and gently touched the messy hair on Nan Yan's forehead. When he touched her eyelashes, she felt a tingling sensation and couldn't help but shook her head, whispering, "No..."
Zhu Feng immediately withdrew his hand.
He looked at his big hands, which had always been used for wielding swords and knives, and frowned hard, feeling a little confused about his unnaturally gentle movements just now.
What are you doing?
He was about to leave, but as soon as he turned around, he heard Nan Yan mumbling in his sleep behind him.
"emperor……"
Zhu Feng's footsteps suddenly stopped.
He slowly turned his head and looked at the slender little woman on the bed. She closed her eyes tightly and muttered softly: "I, I want to... protect you..."
“……!”
At this moment, it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was as if he had been struck hard by lightning.
Zhu Feng's tall figure trembled in the darkness, and he couldn't believe what he heard.
She said she wanted to - protect herself?
This little girl wants to protect herself?
He was silent for a long time, then slowly squatted down and reached out to gently stroke her slightly cold cheek.
After a while, he said in a deep voice: "You want to protect me?"
“…”
"But I didn't—"
