Chapter 524 Marriage (1)
It was an extremely terrifying dream. It seemed that all the struggles were in vain. Although I knew that the ending would be extremely tragic, I was unable to stop it from happening. I had to watch everything reach a point where it could not be reversed.
She is a murderer.
There was a muffled "boom" of thunder. It was early winter, but there was such lightning. Shen Miao woke up from his dream and gasped for breath.
Her hands unconsciously grasped something, and she felt someone patting her back gently. The hand's strength was gentle and just the right amount, containing a reassuring strength. She leaned into the other person's arms, clutching her neck, feeling sweaty and almost breathless.
The man was also good-tempered. He let her curl up, paused, and then reached out and placed his hand behind Shen Miao's head, pressing her into his arms. Shen Miao's body trembled violently, and she bit his shoulder. His body trembled, but he did not move. He just patted Shen Miao's head soothingly.
After an unknown amount of time, the thunder gradually subsided, leaving only the sound of the rain dripping from the window into the house. Shen Miao's heart gradually calmed down. She opened her mouth and her nose touched something cold. It turned out to be a golden button.
It is an extremely intimate posture with the other person.
She slowly sat up from the man's arms.
The latter stood up, and a moment later, the lights in the room came on. Someone placed an oil lamp on the small table in front of the couch, then walked over to the couch and sat down. His features were deep and handsome, as elegant and dignified as ever. Who else could it be but Xie Jingxing? Under the light, his gaze was less cynical than usual, more comforting, and vaguely revealing concern.
Shen Miao’s heart shrank.
She was lost in a horrific nightmare, unable to wake up. Yet, that dream felt more than just a dream; it felt as if it had truly happened. Shocked by the horrific truth, she momentarily lost her composure. Touching something warm was like a drowning person grasping at a straw, clinging to it with all her might, refusing to let go. She had forgotten that the other person's presence in the dead of night was something worth considering.
The secret she had been keeping locked up seemed to have a crack at this moment, and she was facing the most astute hunter. Xie Jingxing had a keen eye and was likely to guess something even from just a few words.
"What did you dream about?" Xie Jingxing cut off the excess wick in the oil lamp. It was such a simple action, but when he did it, it looked like the most perfect silhouette under the lamp, which was pleasing to the eye.
"It's just a nightmare." Shen Miao lowered her eyes and said. However, her voice was still unnatural for a moment.
Xie Jingxing paused, then turned to look at her: "Are you afraid sometimes?"
Shen Miao suddenly felt a surge of anger in her heart. She said, "I am not His Royal Highness Prince Rui. Living in this world is hard enough, so naturally there are times when I am afraid."
Xie Jingxing looked at him. His eyes were very beautiful, the most beautiful peach blossom eyes. Usually, he was a bit frivolous and a bit serious, making it hard to tell whether he was sincere or not. However, he could also make women drown in his moving eyes. But now, when he looked at Shen Miao, his eyes were like the water in an autumn pond, as deep as black jade, making it difficult to detect the emotions within. He said, "Don't be afraid, it's just a dream."
Shen Miao's nose felt sore, and an incomparable sadness suddenly emerged in her heart. She believed that she had been reborn, and her emotional control was very good. Sometimes hatred and love could not be concealed, but after a brief outburst, she would be well cleaned up. However, this dream tonight made her suddenly feel a little unable to face it. Perhaps it was the sound of the rain tonight that was too cold, or perhaps it was Xie Jingxing's eyes that were too gentle, which made her cold heart become fragile. She wanted to find a place to cry loudly.
