Chapter 71 Chapter 71 If you keep kissing me like this, I’ll die sooner or later...
"Bright."
Nan Qiongshuang opened her eyes and her heart skipped a beat.
Gu Huaijin stood in the wooden corridor, followed by a dozen guards, sword in hand, eyes downcast.
The white mist on the water surface almost completely submerged him. He was not standing far away, but it was difficult to see his expression clearly.
Even the emotions around him could not be clearly distinguished.
The more difficult it is to tell, the more frightening it is.
Even if I'm angry, it's okay.
She immediately pushed Li Xuanbai away, but just as she placed her hand on his chest, she suddenly saw Li Xuanbai lowering his head and staring at her.
That look, burning with desire and excitement, staring at her was like a drug addict suddenly seeing the addictive drug, so strong that it was fanatical.
There is a small teardrop mole at the end of her eye, and a pair of thrilling fox eyes. Looking at her, he is more than just interested.
Nan Qiong Shuang sneered in her heart.
What did she say? Li Xuanbai just loved going against her. If she gave in to him, he'd find it boring. If she didn't indulge him, he'd get itchy and itchy.
"Jiaojiao, what are you looking at?" Gu Huaijin suddenly asked.
Her heart trembled suddenly, and she took a half step to the side, getting out of Li Xuanbai's almost scorching gaze, "Huai Jin..."
"Come here, Jiaojiao."
His voice was still so gentle.
Just as she was about to take a step, she caught a glimpse of Li Xuanbai still following her and staring at her. If she moved a little, he would turn his head and look at her relentlessly.
In front, Gu Huaijin saw everything, and his eyes fell lightly on her, the meaning of which was unclear.
She felt uneasy and goose bumps appeared on her arms.
"Junior brother, what are you looking at?" Gu Huaijin stretched out his hand towards her and gently led her to his side naturally. The palms of their clasped hands were cold.
Li Xuanbai hugged his shoulders, his eyes still fixed on her face, lingering on her face, tapping his arms with his fingers, and turning a deaf ear to Gu Huaijin's words.
Gu Huaijin calmly pulled her behind him and stood in front of her.
Li Xuanbai looked at her across from Gu Huaijin and laughed, "You're quite brave. You really spoiled me."
Gu Huaijin lowered his head and glanced at the person beside him calmly.
Nan Qiong Shuang even breathed more lightly and closed her eyes.
She must not let Gu Huaijin see her true face revealed in front of Li Xuanbai.
She timidly grabbed Gu Huaijin's sleeve: "Huaijin."
"Yeah." He responded lightly.
Only then did I see that there was a big tear in his sleeve, and the veins on his forearm were bulging and purple, and blood was dripping from the edge of his sleeve onto the ground.
She swallowed: "Huaijin, you are hurt."
"Yeah." He lowered his eyes.
He responded to all her words with a single syllable.
She felt as if she were already on the guillotine, lying on the wooden planks below, listening in vain to the slow rise of the blade above her head.
Unable to bear this suffocating feeling, she shook his sleeve: "Huai Jin, don't be angry."
"I'm not angry." He finally managed to utter a few more words, took out his handkerchief from his sleeve, and handed it to her, "Wipe it."
Li Xuanbai in front of him chuckled, but turned his head to suppress it.
Gu Huaijin glanced at him, his expression normal, his voice steady:
"For years, Li Xuanbai has violated mountain rules and smuggled poisonous insects into competitions, resulting in the deaths of dozens of disciples. Today, I will follow Elder Huide's orders and use the Young Master's token to arrest Li Xuanbai and imprison him in Shishui Prison. He will not be released without pardon."
He ordered the guards behind him: "Take him away."
The prison is in ruins, and no one can get out without pardon?
Wouldn't that mean the person would really be locked up to death?
She squeezed Gu Huaijin's hand in her sleeve again: "Huaijin, he..."
Gu Huaijin gave him a cold look.
She stopped talking immediately.
That kind of look, if you look into her eyes for just one second, will chill you to the bone marrow. Even she, who is so good at teasing people, can't help but feel wary.
Where had he ever looked at her like that?
It was over. She was done for tonight. This man was not normal to begin with. If she was smart, she couldn't say another word.
She was so frightened that she tried to make up for her mistake and slowly stroked his hand in her sleeve.
Gu Huaijin didn't even look at her.
"Catch me?" Li Xuanbai, standing opposite him, remained nonchalant. He turned around and stepped on the corridor railing. "I don't have time. I'm leaving."
Gu Huaijin: "Catch!"
At a command, dozens of guards behind him rushed out immediately and rushed towards the person standing on the railing.
Li Xuanbai didn't even bat an eyelid at the sight of so many guards. He gathered his strength, bent his body, and kicked the railing. Finally, he turned around and smiled at her:
"You're done, just wait."
Then, he jumped into the vast mountain fog, heard the sound of water splashing, and fell into the water.
The ten or so guards immediately went around the corridor to catch him. Suddenly, the crowd dispersed, and only the two of them were left standing side by side in the mountain fog.
No one spoke.
A mountain bird chirped twice on a branch not far away, which made her heart tighten.
Gu Huaijin took her hand and turned around: "Let's go back, Jiaojiao."
"Um."
No conversation along the way.
This time, he didn't go back to Muxueyuan, but took her back to Bodhi Pavilion.
She felt a headache when she saw Bodhi Pavilion and wanted to hear his explanation of why he came here again, but he had not spoken more than ten words to her since he saw her in the corridor.
She looked up at him, only to see that his expression was still so calm that it was hard to tell what he was thinking. His long eyelashes pressed down on his eyes, like the surface of an umbrella under falling snow. He didn't seem to feel the need to explain anything.
She swallowed her uneasiness and didn't dare to ask.
Even she herself didn't expect that now, she actually began to be afraid of him.
This time when he entered the Bodhi Pavilion, he did not go into the hall with the pearl curtains and the Arhat bed, but went up to the attic and entered a bedroom inside.
There was a bunk bed in the bedroom, covered with a crimson brocade quilt, branch-shaped lampstands on the floor, and a wall of bright candles, flickering and illuminating the entire room.
The weather outside had changed. The sun had been shining brightly just before the competition, but now, thick clouds were rolling across the horizon. Dark clouds gathered thickly over the distant hilltops, but the branches remained silent, not even a bird could be heard singing.
Gu Huaijin held her hand, still without saying a word, and sat down on the edge of the bed, pulling her to his side.
"I was poisoned by a Gu, and my uncle-master told me to treat my injuries here, saying that if I got the Gu insect, I should give it to him immediately."
She looked anxiously at his forearm, which was swollen and had bulging veins, and thought to herself that when he woke her up in the morning, his forearm was still so strong and clean.
Suddenly, I saw that he seemed to be injured not only in his forearm, but also in his lower abdomen, and his white clothes were stained with some glaring red blood.
"Huai Jin, you..." She reached out her hand hastily, wanting to touch the bright red spot in his layered robe, but he grabbed her wrist and held it.
He lowered his eyes, let go of his hand, didn't look at her, and didn't say anything to her.
He held her hand tightly, opened the quilt, and got on the bed.
She really couldn't stand this tormenting and uneasy silence. She knew that a storm was coming tonight, but she didn't say a word and didn't show any temper. It was like the unbearable calm before the storm, stuffy and suffocating.
She let go of his hand and was about to leave: "I'll get you a basin of hot water."
Gu Huaijin instantly took her hand back: "Why should Jiaojiao do this kind of thing? Stay here with me and wait for Mr. Qu Shu."
He didn't let her go, but still didn't look at her or say a word to her.
She couldn't stay here any longer. It was like a volcano that would erupt sooner or later, and she might as well wait until it erupted before coming in to avoid suffering twice.
She stubbornly pushed his hand away and turned to leave.
But his arm was immediately grabbed tightly.
He had never used such great strength on her before, and it almost broke her forearm with a snap.
"Jiaojiao," he said, "You just came back, and you're leaving again?"
She turned her back to him and closed her eyes.
"Where are you going?" He pulled her back inch by inch to sit on the edge of the couch, and stretched out his good arm to gently stroke her long hair. "Where are you going again? I'm injured."
His arm, infected by the poisonous insect, was now swollen like a mountain. A gold ring stuck in his elbow had become as thin as a gold thread and deeply embedded in the flesh.
Veins bulged, and something seemed to be throbbing in the flesh.
Her heart skipped a beat.
I had clearly reminded you that Li Xuanbai was carrying a poisonous insect.
She gently took his arm and looked at it carefully, carefully touching his wrist with her thumb: "Does it hurt?"
He propped himself up and sat up, looking at her quietly with his head down, as if he didn't care about the injury at all, his heart was hanging on her.
His voice was very soft: "Jiaojiao, do you feel sorry for me?"
They looked at each other, his eyes not allowing her to look away for a moment, and she said, "Of course."
"Really?" He lifted a strand of her hair and lowered his eyes to kiss her. "Then, since he clearly saw that I was injured, why did Junior Brother Yi bring you to see me, but you insisted on staying there to talk to him? I invited you several times, but you still refused to come?"
Yi Haichuan didn't come to invite her several times, he just wanted to stay with her, but was kicked away by Li Xuanbai, so he had to go to him to report.
However, he insisted on understanding it this way.
The softer his tone was, the more nervous she became. She explained to him everything about the boy, Wolong Temple, Heng Huang, and Li Xuanbai.
Finally, he said, "Since this is the case, Jiaojiao cannot be blamed."
He lowered his eyes, took out a dagger from the bedside table, and calmly warmed it over the candlelight: "Actually, I don't blame Jiaojiao for anything. I like Jiaojiao, but Jiaojiao doesn't like me. Things like this -"
The blade flashed, and instantly the entire blade sank into his forearm that was infected by the insect, leaving only a trace of silver cold on the blade back.
"——Originally, I can't blame anyone else."
She was startled, "Huai Jin!" and tried to block his hand holding the dagger.
"What's wrong, Jiaojiao?" He raised his head, puzzled calmly, "I'm just looking for some poisonous insects."
"Didn't you say we should wait for Mr. Qu Shu?" Seeing the black blood splattering all over the bed, his snow-white clothes instantly stained with a messy circle of black and red, and the room filled with the smell of sandalwood and fishy smell, she asked anxiously, "Why did you use the knife yourself?"
Hearing this, he looked into her eyes, looked at her silently for a moment, and then smiled.
"So Jiaojiao will feel sorry for me at this time. Why? Jiaojiao will only feel sorry for me when I'm in front of you; if I'm not around, Jiaojiao won't care about any injuries I suffer, right?"
He lifted a strand of her hair, lowered his eyes and kissed her, "Since that's the case, if I get hurt next time, I'll choose a place where Jiaojiao can't see me."
She couldn't believe it.
Looking down, he saw that his swollen forearm was suddenly cut open, and a stream of black blood gushed out like a small fountain, gradually soaking the entire bed quilt, carrying his body temperature and a damp heat.
A small drop of blood splashed on his jade-like face. He closed his eyes, ignored it, and just kissed her hair.
"You..." She was anxious. She had cut herself like this for no apparent reason, saying she was looking for a poisonous insect, but after the cut, blood gushed out like a fountain, as if it had nothing to do with him. "Don't go crazy here, I'm going to complain..."
Just as I stood up, he pulled my arm and brought me back.
In fact, it was not enough to just pull her back, nor was it enough to just sit beside the couch. He pulled her all the way to the couch with her knees bent, and she crawled step by step on her knees to snuggle into his arms. He held her with his good arm, closed his eyes and kissed her forehead lightly.
"Jiaojiao..." he sighed.
"Tell me, if I leave my blood lying around like this, and you and Li Xuanbai come down the mountain together in three days... will you be the first to see me, or will I be the first to see you?"
The room was filled with the stench of blood, which almost choked her voice.
"Huai Jin..." With so much blood, she couldn't imagine how much longer he could hold on. She struggled, "Don't... I'll go get someone for you. Don't mess around anymore..."
"Where are you going? Where are you going?" He laughed and whispered softly in her ear, "Did I let you go? My death is my own business. What are you worried about? Doesn't Jiaojiao always care whether I live or die?"
His breathing sounds hit her ears, and a tingling sensation went straight up her spine. She got goosebumps all the way up her chest and abdomen, and she shivered.
"If I die, will Jiaojiao miss me?" He used his blood-stained fingers to lovingly tuck the loose hair away from her ears. "Will she miss me the same way I miss Jiaojiao? Or will she take the Forget Worry Powder and forget me? Or will she take the Forget Worry Powder and go down the mountain to marry him?"
He chuckled to himself, "Get married." He went to kiss her trembling eyelashes, "Jiaojiao, I let you down the mountain to set you free, not to let you marry him."
"I didn't want to..." She was held in his arms, kisses falling on her ears. "I didn't want to marry him, that was just his own words. I just wanted to... after taking the Forget Worry Powder, I was worried that I wouldn't remember anything and it would be unsafe to go down the mountain alone, so I thought of going with him. After we got down the mountain, we parted ways."
"Part ways." His tone became increasingly cheerful. "Just now in the wooden corridor, did Jiaojiao understand the look in his eyes? He likes you very much. Will he let you go your separate ways?"
He lowered his eyes and kissed her neck, as if a beast lowered its head to bite off the windpipe of its prey.
"What a coincidence...me too."
The warm and soft touch on her neck, two moist lips lingering on her skin.
She was gasping for breath like a drowning person and raised her head in vain.
He kissed her and even sucked her, playing with her ambiguously between his lips and tongue. She felt as if all her senses were deprived, and she slowly, bit by bit, sank into the wet and misty swamp.
"No strength left?" He felt her gradually soften in his arms, and he became more and more satisfied. "So Jiaojiao likes me kissing you like this."
She was most afraid of having her thoughts guessed. She took a deep breath and pushed him away, "Stop it! Look at you..."
Blood flowed like a river. He held her, and her skirt was almost soaked with his blood. "Are you crazy? Why don't you stop the bleeding quickly? Here..."
"If I'm not like this, will Jiaojiao even look at me?" He didn't let her retreat at all, and hugged her back, pressing her against his neck. "Even though I'm like this, Jiaojiao is still thinking about him. I've thrown him into jail."
"I'm going to—"
"——Do you think I will be deceived by you again, Jiaojiao?"
"He said he wouldn't talk to Li Xuanbai, and he also promised me not to touch the Nong Shan Yue. When I came back, he was holding the flute and joking with him."
"You said you wanted freedom, you wanted to go down the mountain, you wanted your own life. So you wanted to go down the mountain with him, Jiaojiao. This is the life you want."
"She said she had something to tell me. She said she would be back after watching the competition. She said she would coax me and comfort me when she got back. She said she found a new fan."
Two lines of thin red tears fell straight from his eyes and flowed to the tip of his chin:
"Yes, and then, you helped him deal with me. I was injured on stage, but you didn't even look at me or ask about it. Yi Haichuan came to invite me several times, but you refused to come. It turns out you were busy with him..."
This time, he pronounced those two words:
"... kissing."
She suddenly felt two rows of hateful teeth marks on her neck.
"Jiaojiao." He rubbed her forehead. Suddenly, a series of thunderclaps roared outside the house. The pale daylight flashed inside the house, making his face look as terrifying as a ghost.
"...What does it feel like to kiss him?"
Thunder rumbled outside the window, and a gust of wind blew everything sideways. She closed her eyes and heard the sound of his blood rushing and his heavy breathing.
She lay in his arms, unable to answer. She was numb from his kiss and couldn't get up for a while.
Even after such persuasion, he refused to listen. She was too lazy to serve him: "...If you want to know so much, go find him and try it yourself."
The person above laughed.
The next second, two bloody tears fell on his face and slid down his cheeks.
Two soft lips suddenly pressed against her lips without any obstruction, rubbing her lips, sucking and grinding them between her lips, biting her lip beads, biting her upper lip, and kneading her lower lip.
That kind of stormy and chaotic kiss didn't let go of any inch.
She had difficulty breathing and let out a "hmm".
After that sound, he seemed to be even more excited. He put one hand around her shoulders and pressed her into his arms, but he pushed his head down even harder. Her neck was almost broken and she gasped unbearably, but his lips never rested.
She opened her eyes helplessly and saw the ceiling with mandala patterns and the Buddha lamps rippling like water waves.
Everything was hidden behind a thin film of water. Everything was blurry and silent, except for his heartbeat and the panting breath that filled her nose.
This is Gu Huaijin’s kiss.
Her temples were throbbing, and she thought absentmindedly that she had finally gotten it.
Just a kiss like this.
It was as if two people were on a small boat in the middle of the ocean, both steering the boat, dependent on each other and fighting for their lives. Today they were both in paradise, but if they kept kissing like this, sooner or later one of them would die.
Who could it be?
She felt him biting her lips in a daze, and not only her lips, but her whole body became involuntary, and she thought helplessly in her heart.
Are you teasing him with kisses all the time, making him feel very uncomfortable?
So now, he is so crazy to take revenge on her.
After a long time, he seemed to have finally vented his anger, and left her lips, panting.
Her eyes were slightly dazed, she was panting, and she let him let go.
Then, they both suddenly saw a thin, crystal clear, dangling thread being pulled out between their lips and teeth.
Gu Huaijin couldn't control himself and closed his eyes again and chased after him.
But she had already given too much and was determined not to give any more, so she tilted her head and looked around for leverage with her hands, trying to sit up straight.
Then, inexplicably... I touched something as solid as a rock.
