Chapter 189 Threat
As he spoke, he stretched out the hand that was not holding the candy man and without thinking, he tried to pry Xiao Minglan's fingers apart.
His strength was surprisingly great.
Xiao Minglan was so shocked and heartbroken that he actually pried his fingers apart.
Xiao Jingchi immediately and happily pulled Chen He behind him, and looked at Xiao Minglan warily as if he was protecting a treasure.
The action was pure and instinctive.
He effortlessly pulled Shen He out of that dark and paranoid world.
Then, as if he had accomplished something extraordinary, he immediately turned his head, raised his face, and held the sugar figurine in his hand in front of Chen He as if he were presenting a treasure.
Those clear eyes were full of anticipation and joy.
"Sister He,"
His voice was so clean that it was not stained with a trace of dust.
"I heard from my father that Jing Chi is going to marry my sister soon."
He asked innocently, tilting his head and smiling widely.
"Is it true?"
That innocent "Is it true?" was like a knife tempered with honey, accurately stabbing into Xiao Minglan's already bleeding heart again.
He raised his head.
Those scarlet eyes looked over Chen He's shoulder and stared at the young man with a bright smile behind her.
If looks could kill.
At this moment, Xiao Jingchi had already been cut into pieces.
That gaze, filled with poison and fire, was like an evil ghost crawling out of the abyss of hell, fixed on Xiao Jingchi.
It was as if he wanted to tear the annoying smile off his face, skin and bones!
The air froze instantly.
Even the sunlight that was warm just now seemed to have taken on a bit of chill.
Shen He felt it.
The murderous intent that was almost turning into reality.
Her heart suddenly tightened, and she almost subconsciously moved to the side to block.
The petite body is like an insurmountable mountain, completely isolating the simple world behind from the madness and darkness in front.
She blocked Xiao Minglan's view.
Then she turned her head and looked at Xiao Jingchi.
All the coldness and vigilance on his face melted away in that instant, like spring snow.
What replaced it was an unprecedented tenderness.
She reached out and gently pulled Xiao Jingchi's sleeve.
"It's true."
Her voice was so gentle that it could drip water, as if she was afraid of disturbing the beautiful dream in front of her.
Xiao Jingchi's eyes suddenly lit up like stars in the sky.
"Sister is happy too."
Chen He looked at him, a smile on her face. That smile was clean and pure, without a trace of calculation.
I am really happy.
For this stolen peace of mind.
For this clean boy in front of me.
This scene made Xiao Minglan's eyes hurt.
He looked at the harmonious and intimate atmosphere between the two of them, and the heartfelt smile on Chen He's face that he had never shown to him before.
The jealousy and resentment in his heart, like wildly growing vines, entangled him tightly and almost suffocated him.
"Oh."
A sneer escaped from his throat, hoarse and cold.
"Sixth Prince."
He deliberately emphasized the word "Your Highness", which was full of undisguised sarcasm.
"Oh no, I should call you Jing Chi."
He stared at Xiao Jingchi, who was protected by Chen He, with a grim look, and every word he said seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth.
"Don't be too happy too soon."
"All of this is not a foregone conclusion yet."
The moment the words fell, the smile on Shen He's face suddenly disappeared.
Alarm bells are ringing in my heart!
These words mean that he is going to attack Xiao Jingchi!
All the things that happened in the past life, those bloody scenes, instantly rushed into my mind!
She turned around suddenly!
Those cold eyes were like two sharp swords drawn from their sheaths, piercing straight at Xiao Minglan!
"Xiao Minglan."
Her voice was as cold as ice in December, without a trace of warmth.
"Don't you dare touch him."
She stared at him intently, enunciating each word, using all her strength to carve out her bottom line.
"I will never forgive you."
Xiao Minglan's pupils suddenly shrank.
He stared at Shen He intently, the madness in his eyes almost overflowing.
Never forgive?
How dare she threaten him for a fool?
The chill in the air, called "murderous intent," grew thicker and thicker, almost condensing into solid icy peaks.
The atmosphere is already tense.
Just then—
A warm big hand gently covered Chen He's wrist, which was tightly clenched due to exertion.
The force was not great, but it carried an irresistible firmness.
Shen He was stunned.
She was gently pulled, spun around, and fell into a broad embrace.
No, not a hug.
He was protected tightly behind someone.
Xiao Jingchi stood in front of her.
The boy who was smiling innocently just now now straightened his back, like a towering tree that suddenly grew.
The smile disappeared from his face.
Instead, there is a childish yet extremely serious stubbornness.
He looked at Xiao Minglan, his clear eyes showing no fear, only confusion and dissatisfaction.
"You are not allowed to bully my sister."
His voice still had the clarity of a teenager, but every word was distinct.
"I can protect my sister too."
boom--
"I can also protect my sister..."
These few words, like a thunderclap and a warm current, instantly washed away Chen He's heart that had been frozen for two lifetimes.
She looked up in a daze.
What he saw before him was no longer Xiao Minglan's twisted and crazy face.
She could only see his broad back and his well-defined, stubborn profile.
He was very tall, even taller than Xiao Minglan.
He just stood there silently, like a mountain, blocking all the wind, rain and malice for her.
In her previous life, she fought alone, protecting everyone, but no one protected her.
In this life...
The tip of my nose suddenly felt sore.
Something she had never felt before, called a sense of security, quietly enveloped her, making her almost want to cry.
Xiao Minglan's face was extremely ugly.
A fool.
How dare a fool shout in front of him?
"you?"
He squeezed out a word from between his teeth, full of contempt and mockery.
"You're even qualified to talk about protection?"
However, Xiao Jingchi didn't even look at him.
He just turned his head slightly and looked at Chen He worriedly with his eyes that were clean and not stained by dust.
"Sister, he's so fierce."
"Let's not play with him anymore, okay?"
Don't play with him anymore...
It turned out that in his and Shen He's world, she was just an "unfun" outsider.
Shen He didn't want to get entangled with him anymore.
To say anything more would be a defilement of the purity behind us.
She reached out and gently pulled Xiao Jingchi's sleeve.
"Jing Chi."
Her voice regained its unique gentleness, as if it could melt all the ice in the world.
"let's go."
Xiao Jingchi immediately turned around to look at her, and the seriousness he had just shown when facing Xiao Minglan instantly collapsed.
"good!"
He nodded heavily, like a child who had been given candy, and stars appeared in his eyes again.
Then, he turned around and grabbed Shen He's hand that was pulling his sleeve.
Not pulling.
Instead, he tightly wrapped her soft and cold little hand in his palm.
His hands were big, warm, and scorching.
"Sister, let's go home!"
He pulled her and took big strides without even looking at Xiao Minglan behind him.
He looked so happy, as if the confrontation just now was just an insignificant episode.
In the sunlight, two figures, one tall and one short, holding hands, gradually walked away.
Xiao Minglan stood there, motionless.
He looked at their clasped hands and the dazzling, unguarded smile on Xiao Jingchi's face.
Click.
It was the sound of his finger bones clenching.
Xiao Jingchi...
The scarlet in his eyes slowly faded away, turning into a bottomless, more dangerous black.
We have a long way to go.
