Chapter 97 Who said the villain has no mouth!
Lin Zhaoyue's heartbeat suddenly quickened, as if a densely woven net was rushing towards her.
It gave her some breathing space, but also pinned her tightly under the dense net, making it difficult for her to escape.
After he said this, he didn't speak again, but sank into the shadow.
After a moment, he whispered slowly, "But I will not harm Your Highness..."
His voice was soft, like a sigh, and it drifted quietly into her ears.
Suddenly, Lin Zhaoyue thought she had misheard.
He stared at Xiao Tingye suspiciously, with a hint of subtle emotion in his eyes.
[This time I really did it. Xiao said he couldn't, not that he didn't want to!]
[This shows that Xiao's love for the princess is truly revealed, right?]
[You bastard, your words are nice, but if the princess falls in love with another man now, I don’t believe you won’t force her to love you.]
[Forced love isn't harmful, haha, why not?]
Lin Zhaoyue turned her head and pretended not to see what they were talking about.
After the fruit was heated up, he came over again and fed the fruit to her mouth.
Lin Zhaoyue was really hungry.
So this time I didn't refuse and opened my mouth obediently.
While she was eating the fruit, Xiao Tingye's brows relaxed slightly, and his usually stern face showed a hint of softening.
He spoke slowly:
"This is a valley about thirty miles below the cliff. We fell into the river and were swept along by the rapids. There's dense forest all around us. Your Highness was seriously injured, so I brought him here to rest."
As he spoke, his eyes unconsciously fell on her lips as she ate the fruit, and on her white throat as she swallowed.
But his eyes were calm and cold, like an icy lake with undercurrents surging but the surface remaining calm.
"Did you leave a mark?" she asked after swallowing a mouthful of fruit pulp.
He gently wiped a little juice from the corner of her mouth with his fingers and said softly, "Leave it."
Then he changed the subject, "Your Highness needs to rest and rest. You don't need to speak. Just listen to me. If you want to say anything, please wait until tomorrow."
Lin Zhaoyue frowned slightly.
"If Your Highness's health does not recover in time, then I will have no choice but to live a life of loneliness with Your Highness in this cave." He said indifferently.
Lin Zhaoyue's eyes were full of displeasure and she glared at him angrily.
Xiao Tingye raised his lips.
"But there's a natural barrier here. If they want to find us, it will take some effort. Your Highness is injured and sick, and his body is too fragile to travel far. We can only wait here for them to find us."
"Your Highness knows who tried to assassinate him." He looked into her eyes.
Not a question, but an affirmation.
Lin Zhaoyue said "hmm" lazily.
Xiao Tingye did not ask further questions, but said calmly: "Your Highness is very clever in risking your life to lure the snake out of its hole."
Although the tone was calm, she could hear a hint of sarcasm in the words.
Lin Zhaoyue stared at him with anger in her eyes.
But soon, Zhaoyue's consciousness became blurred, his eyelids twitched, and everything in front of him gradually became a blur.
When he saw the person in front of him fall into a deep sleep, his gaze was no longer concealed and became unrestrained.
His hand also gently stroked the corner of her eye, as if he was touching a fragile treasure, so pious and cautious.
Her gaze seemed to have never stayed on him for so long as it did today.
If it could always be like this...
That's it, there's nothing wrong with it.
When Lin Zhaoyue woke up again, it was already early morning the next day.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw someone busy doing something on her.
Her collar was half open, revealing her shoulders and neck. The coolness of the air made her unable to help but get a layer of pink particles on her face.
She was about to ask.
He was the first to speak, and he was extremely serious, "I am changing the dressing for Your Highness, please be patient."
Lin Zhaoyue swallowed the question she was about to ask, and glanced at her injured shoulder blade.
He has a very skillful technique and is very skilled in applying medicine.
But the speed was very slow, as if he didn't dare to use too much force or be too rough, so his movements were always leisurely.
"Master Xiao is quite skilled," she said calmly, "but he's too slow."
He paused for a moment and whispered, "When I was in the army, I often applied medicine to myself and the soldiers." He said, "I don't care whether it hurts or not."
"Your Highness is different."
[Princess, he really cares about you! ]
[I understand this. He doesn't care about feelings when applying medicine to himself and others, but it's different for the princess.]
He cares about whether you're in pain or not, whether you're comfortable or not, and treats you like a treasure. Don't you understand?!
Who says villains don't have mouths?! Isn't this mouth enough?!?!?!
Lin Zhaoyue didn't say anything else, just waited quietly for him to finish applying the medicine.
But this look of being at the mercy of others always made her feel a little uncomfortable.
Although she is not a person who pays attention to details, she is a little afraid of what she did to herself in the original plot.
I also know his abnormal feelings towards me.
She was still a little nervous, as she was almost at his mercy, with her clothes half-unbuttoned, in front of him.
She didn't know if she could trust him.
I don't know if he will take advantage of others' misfortune.
But she seemed to have subconsciously chosen to believe him.
I believe he will not become Xiao Tingye in the original plot of the novel.
She herself is also contradictory.
Even though he didn't do anything to her and adhered to etiquette, she could feel his increasingly strong sense of aggression.
This sense of aggression was extremely strong, but it just didn't touch her minefield.
It's like a wolf circling around a piece of meat, even if it hasn't done anything yet.
But I know that one day he will rush up and take a bite.
But on the other hand, this sense of aggression was restrained by him, and that was not what he showed.
He did not do anything to hurt her, and even threw his own life behind him, jumping off the cliff after her.
He could have avoided taking the risk, but he still jumped without hesitation...
Even when she was injured, he took care of her meticulously.
When falling off the cliff, no one could have imagined what would happen next.
Even at that moment, she really thought that her fate would end here.
And if... without him.
In her current condition, she may not be able to survive.
It seemed as if their fates had been tied together unknowingly.
Suddenly, she felt a cool sensation on her forehead.
It's his hand.
"Your Highness seems to be very worried." He curled his lips slightly, "Is there anything you can't let go of?"
It sounds like a casual question, but it seems like he is testing something.
Lin Zhaoyue turned her head and said, "I'm hungry."
