Chapter 49 Because "Why else? Because I like you."...
"My clothes!"
Xue Zhiying didn't know what she was panicking about. She made up an excuse and reached out to push him away.
Xiao Yunqi's chest was pressed against hers, but his lips could not kiss her again.
After being pushed away, his face suddenly darkened, his eyes were dim, and he was obviously unhappy.
Xue Zhiying's clothes had already been wet by him during the kiss just now. Now she remembered to push him away for the clothes, which naturally made him unhappy.
Xue Zhiying lowered her eyes, raised her hand and squeezed his arm. The force was not strong, but even if she didn't mean to, it gave people the feeling of trying to please him.
"Isn't there a carriage coming? Let's go down the mountain first and talk about it when we get back."
Xiao Yunqi was silent for a moment, took a deep breath, and finally stepped back from her.
As soon as the man stepped back, Xue Zhiying frowned, lowered her eyes, and quickly fiddled with her dress.
Who said she didn't care just now and only remembered it now? She has always cared about it.
It was just that the kiss was passionate at that time, and she admitted that she was a little bewitched, but now she could no longer allow herself to continue indulging.
She felt uncomfortable because her clothes were soaked, but it was much better than Xiao Yunqi's.
Xue Zhiying tugged at her clothes lightly, and her eyes drifted towards the place where he had just pressed against her.
Just as I saw the outline of a group, my chin was pinched and I was forced to raise my head.
"What are you looking at?"
Xue Zhiying: “…”
It was rare to see Xiao Yunqi's face showing a bit of embarrassment, and Xue Zhiying couldn't help but stare at him a few more times.
But the man soon calmed down, withdrew his hand and straightened his robe a little.
Then he extended his hand to Xue Zhiying: "Come here."
Xue Zhiying hesitated for a moment, but still put her hand in his palm.
Xiao Yunqi took her hand and walked out of the temple.
A parked carriage could be vaguely seen outside the dilapidated temple wall.
Mu Yan was waiting at the door, but there were new drops of water on his shoulders and he was holding several umbrellas in his hands, obviously he had already gone to the carriage.
Xiao Yunqi stepped forward and took the umbrella handed to him by Mu Yan, opened it with one hand, and stood in front of them.
"Let's go."
The rain was pouring down and the wind was howling.
Xue Zhiying didn't feel awkward at all, and she shrank her body to get closer to Xiao Yunqi.
She held up the hem of her skirt with one hand, while the other hand was still tightly held in his palm.
There were puddles of varying depths on the ground, and the rain splashed on the ground. It was inevitable that my skirt and shoes would get wet when I walked out.
But I can't care about that right now.
With the umbrella blocking her view, Xue Zhiying could hardly see the way forward and could only follow Xiao Yunqi, getting closer and closer to him.
Just when they were about to walk out of the temple wall, Xiao Yunqi suddenly let go of her hand.
Xue Zhiying was stunned and stopped subconsciously.
Just as she was about to look up at him, Xiao Yunqi stretched out his arms and hugged her waist, causing her feet to lift off the ground.
Xue Zhiying exclaimed softly and hugged Xiao Yunqi's neck.
Now her whole body was almost stuck to his wet clothes.
But in just a moment, Xiao Yunqi took a few quick steps with his long legs and put her on the carriage.
Xue Zhiying did not stop, but bent down and got into the carriage, finally no longer caring about the heavy rain.
The inside of the carriage was even darker than the temple. When Xiao Yunqi came in, he almost blocked out all the light, as if it was night.
As the carriage moved, Xue Zhiying's body was covered with a blanket while shaking slightly.
"Wipe yourself off."
Xue Zhiying lowered her head and handed him the blanket: "You should wipe it. I'm not seriously wet."
Xiao Yunqi chuckled, took the blanket and pulled the person in front of him to help wipe her hair.
"That's why I asked you to wipe it because it's not serious. Can I really save anything with just a blanket?"
That’s true.
Xue Zhiying lay sideways and did not move, allowing the blanket to rub from her hair to her cheeks, then to her neck, until it was about to rub her chest.
When she reacted and wanted to say she would do it herself, Xiao Yunqi had already stretched out his hand.
Xue Zhiying's cheeks were slightly hot, and her body was stiff and she didn't move anymore.
Xiao Yunqi didn't make any unnecessary movements. He wiped her carefully and then put down the blanket.
The carriage was not like a temple. The sound of rain hitting the carriage was very loud and kept coming into my ears.
Xue Zhiying asked in a low voice in silence: "How did you find this place?"
After asking, there was no answer for a while.
Xue Zhiying realized that she asked too softly and he didn't hear it at all.
But she didn't want to ask again.
This question was a bit silly. Xiao Yunqi thought it would be easy to find her.
She asked that just now because she was wondering how he could be sure that she was on this deserted mountainside and rushed up in the rain even if he knew her general direction.
At this moment, Xiao Yunqi suddenly answered her again: "I asked along the way."
Xue Zhiying was slightly stunned and her thoughts were interrupted.
She looked over in the dim light and met his eyes.
Looking at Zhang's calm and composed face, it was hard to imagine him catching people along the way and asking them where she was going.
She remembered seeing him striding towards her in the rain with a fierce look on his face.
It must be as she originally thought, he misunderstood her escape and wanted to catch her back in anger.
However, when did his anger dissipate? He didn't seem to be angry with her and didn't even say a harsh word.
It was a rainy day and we were on our way down the mountain again.
The carriage was moving very slowly and had not left the mountain road for a long time.
Xue Zhiying didn't respond to his words, and he didn't speak first either. The two of them just remained silent all the way.
In fact, she felt a little tired at this time.
There was the physical fatigue from climbing the mountain, and the mental fatigue from expending all the effort to leave.
In the limited space of the carriage, he glanced slightly and saw another person sitting nearby.
Xiao Yunqi's broad shoulders and arms appeared in sight.
She suddenly wanted to get closer.
Lean on him and rest for a while, close your eyes and take a nap.
Just a moment, just a moment.
In a trance, she saw the man's neck enlarged in front of her eyes, and then she realized that she had leaned towards him.
When she leaned completely against his shoulder, she felt his arm stiffen slightly.
His low, deep voice came from above his head: "I'm wet, don't lean on me now."
He just said this but didn't push her away.
The touch of something cold and wet on her cheek just happened to soothe the heat that was rising in her cheeks for some unknown reason.
Xue Zhiying tilted her head and rubbed it lightly, sliding from his shoulder to his chest.
The sound of his strong heartbeat in her ears formed a sharp contrast with her physical and mental exhaustion.
But she didn't hate this voice. It seemed that listening to such a lively voice could gradually dispel her fatigue.
The dampness was still there, but the man's body temperature gradually dissipated from under his clothes.
Xue Zhiying raised her head from his chest and looked down at him, only to see his tight and hard jawline. He did not look down at her.
She whispered to his heart, "Are you angry today?"
Xiao Yunqi was silent for a moment, then replied in a muffled voice, "Of course I am angry, very angry."
Xue Zhiying was slightly stunned.
According to the past, she thought he would not answer but ask casually, "What do you think?"
But when he spoke of anger, I felt nothing at all.
"Then why didn't you get mad at me?"
Just as he had found her after he had first left, angry and aggressive.
Xue Zhiying quietly developed some unknown thoughts in her heart. She shamelessly felt that this seemed to show that he cared about her very much.
Xiao Yunqi snorted in disdain.
"Why get mad at you? You can't escape anyway."
He suddenly lowered his head, and Xue Zhiying's gaze met his unexpectedly, and her wrist was grabbed by his cold big hand.
"I will bring you back with my own hands."
He was very strong, and although he didn't hurt her, she could clearly feel the tight shackles.
She tried to struggle, and as expected, he tightened his grip even more.
Xue Zhiying slowly lowered her eyes and looked at her wrist which was held by him. It was like a rope that was tightly wrapped around her, binding her and hoopling her tightly.
However, in the blink of an eye, the rope loosened again.
The man's rough fingertips rubbed her pulse back and forth a few times.
Xue Zhiying murmured softly, "Why?"
I don't know which one to ask why.
Why was he so persistent in holding her, or why did he let go and caress her ambiguously.
Xiao Yunqi opened his five fingers and slipped his fingers between hers until they were tightly intertwined.
"……Why?"
Xue Zhiying asked again in a low voice.
Is it a follow-up question, or another new why?
Xue Zhiying had more and more doubts. Without getting his answer, many answers came to her mind unconsciously.
Because she was the one who provoked him first, he was so arrogant that he would not allow her, who was so lowly, to deceive and take advantage of him.
Because she was very weak, it was easy for him to catch her. It didn't take any effort at all. It could be a fun way for him to relieve his boredom when he was free.
Because she was pretty, he had been under pressure from his family to get married for a long time. He could use this opportunity to directly use her to block out the noisy urging from his family.
because……
"Why else? Because I like you."
Xue Zhiying's fingertips froze. After he finished speaking, a clear and chaotic heartbeat suddenly sounded in the quiet carriage, but he didn't know whose it was.
The sound of rain inexplicably became smaller at this moment, making the interlaced heartbeats more obvious, becoming a presence that could not be ignored in the narrow space.
She was actually not surprised, because the next answer that would come to her mind was this.
But this answer would have been the same as the previous one, born and then denied.
But at this time, it came out of Xiao Yunqi's mouth.
Xue Zhiying raised her neck very slowly, but she didn't expect his gaze was still waiting there, and she bumped into his sight again.
The carriage suddenly jolted and they drove out of the mountain road.
Finally, another sound was heard from not far away, covering up the persistent and chaotic heartbeat in the carriage.
Xue Zhiying bent and loosened her fingers several times, like a bird that couldn't escape from its cage. But he could only hold her hand tightly, unable to hide it behind her back and clench it into a fist.
The atmosphere in the carriage gradually became strangely stagnant due to the continued silence.
Xue Zhiying's lips trembled, and she said "oh" dryly, then lowered her head again.
Before he could look down, his chin was suddenly pinched.
Xiao Yunqi exerted a little force and forced her to look up, and waited until she looked at him again.
He moved his thin lips, staring into her eyes, and said it again: "Every why in your heart is because I like you."
"Did you hear my answer?"
