Thinking of this, Sui Xue felt a little uneasy.
Mieming in front of him keenly caught the fear in her pupils.
He lowered his eyes sadly and took another half step back without leaving a trace.
He didn't want to see negative emotions like disgust and disappointment in her eyes anymore. He really didn't want to be hated or even abandoned by her.
I simply pretended nothing had happened and changed the subject.
"It's getting late. I will take the leader back."
Sui Xue was slightly stunned, but quickly reacted, nodded and stood beside him. The two of them walked side by side back to the tree house where Sui Xue was.
The atmosphere was frozen and everyone looked at each other in silence.
Before leaving, Mieming was a little frightened and said goodbye to Tong Suixue incoherently.
I thought today's events would end in embarrassment.
But just as he turned around, Sui Xue's voice suddenly sounded behind him.
"The value of your life should not be defined by whether I use you."
Her tone was calm, but every word pierced Mieming's heart.
“There are thousands of meanings to life, but no matter what it is, it should depend on you.”
“Life itself has no meaning. It is you, and only you, who give it meaning.”
Mieming stopped and his pupils suddenly shrank.
He didn't look back, his voice muffled.
"But my joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness all come from the leader. Apart from you, I don't know what else can influence my mood."
They have been childhood sweethearts for twenty years, accompanying each other through the most difficult times in their lives.
In Mieming's eyes, such profound years cannot be erased by a few words.
Especially, for a dark and twisted person like him, grasping the light is like a drowning person grasping at the last straw, and there is no way he can let go no matter what.
He was about to persuade Sui Xue not to talk too much, but she said again.
"If I really cared about you and really meant a lot to you in your life, I would only want you to have your own emotions."
"Instead, you can only become my vassal, and your every joy and anger will be controlled by me."
"Of course, I mean if."
"If I really cared about you, I would just want you to be yourself instead of making me the center of your life."
Sui Xue didn't think too much when she said this.
She just felt that everyone's life was precious and should not be bound by others. One should cherish and love oneself, that's all.
She didn't take the words just now as a strategy to conquer Mie Ming, nor did she realize what a surprise those words would be to someone who had been suppressed for a long time.
She was just following her heart.
After that, she turned around and prepared to enter the tree house.
But as soon as she took a step, she suddenly entered a gentle embrace.
This was followed by his chuckle.
"It's okay for friends to hug each other, right?"
"If the chief is unwilling, then it will be considered an offense by the minister."
He said he was offended, but in fact, the next second, he gently hugged her in his arms.
Mieming didn't use much force, and his hands were very well controlled. He just barely wrapped his arm around her, keeping a finger's distance away.
Then he raised his hand and gently stroked the back of her head.
Sui Xue's pupils trembled slightly, and her mind went blank in an instant. She couldn't make any sense of her thoughts. The only thing she felt was the sound of his strong heartbeat right next to her ear.
There was no resistance deep in my heart, but instead a hint of warmth.
I don’t remember how long he hugged me like this, I only remember that the moonlight that night was as bright as water, and it was very gentle when it fell on my body.
Until the clouds disappear and the moonlight is no longer visible.
The strength on my arm loosened.
He coughed lightly and distanced himself again.
"It's getting late. If I stay here, I'm afraid it will cause a lot of inconvenience. I'll take my leave first. Please go to bed early, Chief."
After saying that, he left Sui Xue's sight in an almost fleeing manner.
Sui Xue stood there in a daze, even forgetting to say goodbye.
She reached out and unconsciously touched the place where he had just put his arm around her.
The residual heat gradually cooled.
She came back to her senses and rubbed her eyebrows.
The hug just now was a bit abrupt, but she didn't mind.
The only regret is that I miscalculated just now and was distracted by him and forgot to pull.
Watching the man's panicked back disappear, Sui Xue curled her lips, chuckled, turned around and walked into the tree house.
This was her first time entering the original owner's living room after transmigrating into the book. She had been preoccupied with the survival of the fox tribe for some time, and hadn't had the chance to delve into the original owner's life.
Now it seems that although the original owner had a twisted temper, she was, after all, a pampered young lady with first-class aesthetic taste.
The interior decoration is extremely luxurious but not superficial, with just the right amount of ostentation.
Ivory, tiger skin, goose down, silk, each precious item played an appropriate role and function.
Sui Xue should have appreciated it carefully.
But for some reason, she felt a little flustered and restless.
Because there was always a faint rustling sound coming from the long wooden cabinet behind him.
She was sure it was not the wind, nor the sound of a small animal.
It was a sound similar to the sound of a knife sharpening a knife while it tears through fabric.
Sui Xue frowned and suppressed the panic in her heart.
The more unusual the situation is, the more calmly we should face it and find ways to deal with it.
Taking a deep breath, she quickly found a wooden stick and stared coldly at the wooden cabinet.
Then, he crouched close to the wall and slowly approached the suspicious wooden cabinet.
