Chapter 1016 Inexplicably Jealous
He wanted to figure it out, but the more he thought about it, the more his headache became. He leaned against the bed, put his hand on his forehead, and let out a low roar because of the severe pain that came from his head.
"Well--!"
At this moment, the unconscious woman on the bed moved again.
She seemed to be in a coma, and she heard her own moans and felt her own pain. The hand that had been grabbing his clothes exerted a little force.
Zhu Feng was caught off guard and was pulled down by her.
Afraid that he would crush her, he quickly reached out and supported his hands on both sides of her body, and his whole body fell on her.
Two people, face to face.
Almost, a fraction of a second.
The tip of his nose had already brushed against hers. He took a deep breath and felt her exhaled breath gently blowing on his face.
A faint, indescribable, familiar scent.
That breath, like a cool breeze, suddenly swept across his heart where the fire of karma was burning like a prairie fire, and actually blew out the fire of karma in an instant.
The severe pain in my head gradually subsided.
He looked at her in some surprise, but saw that her brows were slightly furrowed. Even in her sleep, she seemed to be worried about something that made her uneasy. She opened her red lips and let out a weak murmur.
"ah……"
Her voice was thin and weak, like the murmur of a kitten.
At such a close distance, one feels as if the tip of one's heart is being gently tickled.
Although she couldn't speak, Zhu Feng could probably tell what she was saying by looking at her lips.
"don't want……"
“Don’t go…”
Zhu Feng's heart moved slightly and he looked down at her.
The hand that was clutching his chest tightened a little, even though he could have gotten rid of it by just stretching out his hand.
However, he was unable to move.
He just looked down at her face, which was filled with a hint of sadness. He was speechless, and there was a hint of grievance between his brows.
He read the words clearly from her lips.
"Don't leave me..."
“…”
Zhu Feng's brows furrowed even more tightly.
Who did she dream about?
Whose departure made her so uneasy that she did not forget to beg even when she was unconscious. Perhaps she could only say the words when she was unconscious and helpless and unable to control herself, which she could not say when she was conscious.
For some reason, he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
Although, this woman had never met him before, whether he saved her, left her, and came back to save her was all just a matter of his own thoughts and had nothing to do with her.
He had no control over her past and her begging.
However, when he thought that there might be someone in her heart who made her plead so pitifully, hoping that the other person would stop and stay by her side, he felt a little bit...
It's an indescribable feeling.
If you think about it more carefully, he actually understands it, but he just doesn't want to admit it.
He is unhappy.
He didn't want to admit it because it was really baffling. It was already baffling to have such a strange feeling towards a strange woman, so he chose to leave; but after leaving and coming back, it was even more baffling.
But now, knowing that there seems to be someone she cares about in her heart, someone she didn't forget even when she was unconscious, I actually have a feeling close to jealousy.
Could it be more baffling than this?
Zhu Feng was a little angry with himself.
In this way, he used a little force and finally pulled his collar out of the slender and weak hand.
But the woman frowned even more tightly.
A painful groan came from his throat.
"ah--"
He let out a deep breath, and finally, he leaned over, not caring whether she could hear him or not, and not caring whether this sentence was appropriate at this time, and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, I'm here."
“…”
strangeness.
She actually quieted down.
The brows that were originally wrinkled slowly relaxed, and the hand that was a little at a loss was placed on the chest and gently softened.
However, he was worried that she would catch a cold, so he took the hand and put it back into the quilt.
In a blink of an eye, it got dark outside.
From the door came the trembling voice of the old boatman:
"My dear..."
Zhu Feng let out a breath, stood up and walked over.
The bodies of those people were still lying at my feet. When I walked to the door, I saw that the old couple were still in shock. Although the door outside was closed, I could clearly hear the noisy voices of the villagers outside.
Obviously, everyone knew something was wrong here.
Zhu Feng looked at the two of them and said, "You two, hurry up and leave."
When the old couple heard this, a look of despair appeared on their faces: "Leave? We——"
Zhu Feng said, "I killed the people from Prince Ning's Mansion. It won't be long before they come looking for me."
“…”
"In order not to implicate you, you'd better leave here now."
“…”
"It's better to hide at sea for a while, or go somewhere else."
As he spoke, he casually took out a few silver bills from his sleeve and handed them to the old boatman. The old boatman was even more frightened than seeing the corpses on the ground. After all, he could never earn so much money in his entire life.
Zhu Feng said: "If you want to avoid disaster and survive, leave quickly."
“…”
"It's too late, no one can protect you."
The old boatman also knew that the situation was serious. After all, it was a murder, which was different from other things. Moreover, he could more or less see that the identity of this noble man was not ordinary, so it should be right to listen to him.
This kind of thing is not something that ordinary people like them can control.
So, he and his old wife hurriedly packed up their things and prepared to leave with their son who had just recovered from his illness. But before leaving, he was worried and turned back and asked softly, "Sir, what about you and this girl--"
"I'm going to stay here."
Zhu Feng said this and glanced down at the pale face on the bed.
Wait for her to wake up.
Although what is happening now seems a bit chaotic.
But, he already understood one thing.
The people in Prince Ning's Mansion were looking for a tall, very noble man in his thirties. In other words, they were looking for me.
If Prince Ning wanted to find me, I should have gone to welcome him, but he sent so many people armed with weapons to find me. I'm afraid he has some shameful intentions behind this.
Zhu Feng's original desire to find his brother faded at this moment.
He said to the old boatman, "You guys go."
The old boatman had no choice but to say goodbye and leave with his family under the cover of night.
Zhu Feng slowly turned around, walked back to the bed, and looked down at the person on the bed.
There were only the two of them in the room, and a faintly flickering candle on the table, casting his shadow on the wall, which was also flickering slightly, just like his mood at the moment.
