Chapter 126
Mu Qingxuan's tears fell, leaving hot marks on her cheeks.
She looked at Huo Changfeng, her heart filled with indescribable shock and surprise.
She never expected that there would be such a fate between the two of them.
At this moment, all the doubts, grievances and longings turned into tears pouring out.
She could no longer control her emotions and threw herself into Huo Changfeng's arms, her body trembling slightly.
Mu Qingxuan's nose was pressed against his warm neck, and her breath was filled with his unique scent.
It was a unique scent of cedar mixed with the fragrance of flower petals, which made her feel at ease and shy at the same time.
After hesitating for a moment, she raised her head, with crystal tears still hanging on her eyelashes, a hint of shyness and determination in her eyes, and gently kissed the corner of his lips.
The kiss was as light as a feather, but it felt like an electric current passing through it, making her heart beat violently and her cheeks instantly flushed.
She could feel her lips getting slightly hot.
Huo Changfeng felt the gentle touch at the corner of his mouth, as if a flame in his heart was ignited.
His eyes suddenly became deep, like a bottomless whirlpool that was about to completely draw Mu Qingxuan in.
His Adam's apple rolled as he suppressed the surging emotions in his heart, and his arms slowly wrapped around Mu Qingxuan's delicate waist.
He pressed his palms against her soft body and used a little force to hold her tighter in his arms.
Their bodies were pressed tightly together. Mu Qingxuan could clearly feel Huo Changfeng's intense heartbeat, which gradually merged with her own.
Her cheeks grew hotter and hotter, and her hands unconsciously grasped his collar, her fingertips trembling slightly.
Huo Changfeng lowered his head and stared at her flushed cheeks and moist eyes. A current ran through his body and all his rationality collapsed in an instant.
He couldn't help but lean over and take the initiative, kissing her deeply.
Mu Qingxuan closed her eyes and slowly climbed up Huo Changfeng's neck with her hands.
Her breathing became rapid and erratic.
When they parted, Huo Changfeng looked at Mu Qingxuan's red eyes and trembling eyelashes, and his heart seemed to be tightly grasped by a hand.
He took a deep breath, trying hard to control the desire of his body.
Their bodies were pressed tightly together, so Mu Qingxuan naturally felt it.
Her cheeks burned red, and she put her hand against his chest, but his wrist was held in return.
Huo Changfeng pressed her hand against his violently beating heart, and when he leaned over again, his nose brushed against her trembling eyelashes.
"Now let me carry you home, okay?"
His voice was three parts hoarse and seven parts gentle.
"Um."
Mu Qingxuan responded softly.
Huo Changfeng carefully carried her on his back and walked towards home.
On the way back, the twilight stretched the shadows of the two people very long, overlapping and falling on the gravel path.
Mu Qingxuan's fingers unconsciously twisted the corner of Huo Changfeng's coat, and her nose was still filled with the sweet scent of the sea of flowers.
Her eyes were darting around, but when she caught a glimpse of a wild mint plant by the roadside, she suddenly remembered something.
Her fingertips gently scratched Huo Changfeng's shoulders, and the ends of her hair brushed across his neck: "But didn't Officer Lu say yesterday that he..."
Before she could finish her words, Huo Changfeng suddenly tightened his grip on her hand and a muffled groan escaped from his throat.
His brows were furrowed and his jawline was tightly drawn.
"That kid Lu Jingfeng lied to you."
There was lingering jealousy in Huo Changfeng's voice, and the ending sound was as rough as a crumpled ball of paper.
"ah?"
Mu Qingxuan blinked her wet eyes.
She tilted her head, and the scent of jasmine in her hair mixed with the night breeze brushed past Huo Changfeng's nose: "Why did he lie to me?"
Huo Changfeng looked at her innocent appearance, and the thorns that had been erected softened instantly.
He sighed helplessly, put Mu Qingxuan down, turned around, reached out to tuck her wind-blown hair behind her ears, and brushed her hot earlobe with his fingertips.
"It's not a lie...it's just a misunderstanding."
Mu Qingxuan's face suddenly flushed. She reached out to push him away, but his wrist was grabbed and pressed against the old locust tree behind her.
The rough bark rubbed against her back through her shirt. She looked up at the dark tide surging in Huo Changfeng's eyes, and her heart skipped a beat.
"I asked him clearly when I sent him away this morning."
Huo Changfeng stroked the pulse on her wrist with his thumb, his voice low.
"He was indeed saved by Grandpa Mu eight years ago, but..."
He paused deliberately, and under her anxious gaze, he gritted his teeth and emphasized: "But he is just an ordinary one! What he has experienced is not at the same level as what we have experienced!"
Mu Qingxuan stood on tiptoe, her fingertips circling around the dark-patterned buttons on his coat.
She suddenly leaned close to his ear, and her warm breath swept over the red earlobe.
Mu Qingxuan spoke in a soft voice: "But... to me and Grandpa, you are just an ordinary patient."
Huo Changfeng's eyelashes trembled violently, and his grip on her wrist tightened unconsciously.
The setting sun shone through the gaps between the sycamore leaves, casting mottled shadows on Mu Qingxuan's sly smiling face.
She blinked her wet eyes deliberately, like a cat that had succeeded in stealing some fish.
She said: "I don't remember the incident before, let alone who the protagonist is."
As he spoke, he tilted his head in serious thought, and the scent of Chinese herbs in his hair lingered around their noses.
"After all, my grandfather and I have saved so many people, and you are just one of them."
These words made Huo Changfeng's face instantly gloomy.
He lowered his eyes and stared at Mu Qingxuan's red lips, and a muffled groan escaped from his throat.
"ordinary?!"
Huo Changfeng's voice was so low that it trembled, and his thumb rubbed the soft flesh on her waist vigorously, "Say it again?!"
Mu Qingxuan looked at the dark tide surging in his eyes and her heart skipped a beat, but she still pretended to be calm and put her hands around his neck.
“It’s just ordinary.”
Huo Changfeng was so angry that veins on his forehead were throbbing, and he subconsciously wanted to kiss Mu Qingxuan's rebellious little mouth.
But just as Huo Changfeng's lips were about to fall, Mu Qingxuan suddenly burst into laughter, and her neck formed a graceful arc when she tilted her head back.
"Captain Huo, your ears are so red that blood could drip from them."
She stretched out her hand to hook his neck and pulled him closer, with their noses almost touching. "Captain Huo, why do you get angry so easily?"
Huo Changfeng's Adam's apple rolled and the tips of his ears turned red as if dripping blood.
He turned his face away, but Mu Qingxuan held his cheek and forced him to turn back.
In the setting sun, the cunning flashing in her eyes made his heart tremble, and then his lips felt warm.
Mu Qingxuan pecked the corner of his mouth lightly, with a triumphant smile: "Next time you get jealous, remember to tell me directly."
The evening breeze blew up the fallen leaves on the roadside, swirling them onto the overlapping surfaces of their shoes.
Huo Changfeng looked into her lively eyes, and suddenly felt that the sourness in his chest turned into honey.
He took the initiative and grabbed the back of her neck, and when she screamed, he squeezed all the unspoken grievances into a kiss again.
