The wind whistled in her ears, and Lü Qiao tightly closed her eyes.
She knew that this time she would fall off the cliff with the carriage and be smashed to pieces.
But she doesn't regret it.
Her life was given to her by the young lady.
From the moment the young lady saved her, her life already belonged to the young lady.
She had long ago sworn in her heart that she would protect her mistress for the rest of her life.
I've lived enough these past years...
Thinking of this, her fear of death lessened considerably, and a relaxed smile even appeared on her lips.
Suddenly, her falling body paused, as if something had wrapped around her waist.
She opened her eyes groggily, and a familiar yet repulsive voice suddenly entered her ears on the wind.
"You're about to die, and you're still having those sweet dreams?"
She knew who it was without even looking.
But in this place...
She looked up.
Sure enough, not far away, the boy in black was pressed against the mountain wall, one hand holding onto the protruding rock face and the other pulling on his belt.
With his belt no longer binding his waist, his clothes came undone and were disheveled by the mountain wind.
His cold face held a half-smile, but his handsome eyes were stern as he looked at her.
When she saw that it was indeed him, Lü Qiao was stunned.
Realizing what was happening, she quickly looked down and discovered that the other end of the belt in his hand was tied to her body, tightly binding her and preventing her from falling.
A complex mix of emotions welled up inside her.
Unexpectedly, he saved me again at the crucial moment.
"you……"
Si Yi didn't speak, composed himself, and pulled her up by dragging his belt.
Green Beauty shut her mouth.
Filled with gratitude, she decided that once she returned home, she would never speak ill of him behind his back again.
Just as she was thinking this, she suddenly saw that the back of Si Yi's hand, which was gripping his belt, was covered in blood, which was extremely glaring to the eye.
She remembered that when he rushed out of the forest, he was accidentally stabbed in the arm by an assassin's sword.
It was too chaotic at the time, and she only caught a glimpse of him briefly, without noticing which arm was injured.
Only when I saw the blood on the back of his hand did I realize that it was his right hand.
With so much blood lost, the wound must be deep and painful, yet he still uses this hand to forcefully pull her up. How painful must that be?
Moreover, because the place he was standing in was too narrow, he had to hold onto the mountain wall with one hand to avoid falling. Therefore, when he pulled the belt, he could only pull with one hand, and when he pulled it up a little, he had to step on the belt with his foot.
It's easy to imagine how much effort he must have put in.
Moreover, if he is not careful, he will fall down as well.
"You don't need to worry about me, just let go."
Luqiao suddenly shouted, her eyes filled with tears.
Why should he make such a sacrifice when we are not related?
Si paused for a moment, then continued tugging at his belt, giving her a cold glance and speaking in a somewhat irritable voice, "Shut up!"
Green Beauty was intimidated by him and dared not speak again.
She just felt that if he didn't need to save her, it would be easy for him to leave this cliff.
But now he still has to save her, which reduces his chances of survival...
After an unknown amount of time, Si Yi finally pulled her up. His handsome face was deathly pale, and large beads of cold sweat trickled into his eyelashes. He couldn't even spare a hand to wipe them away.
Because the place where the two were standing was very narrow, originally only wide enough for one person to stand, but now with the addition of Lü Qiao, he had to hold her tightly and let her lean against him.
Seeing their bodies pressed tightly together, Lü Qiao blushed.
She knew that at this moment, she shouldn't be thinking too much.
But she had never been so close to a man before, and because his belt was not tied and his clothes were open, revealing only a thin garment underneath, the heat from his body was clearly felt as they pressed together.
Lü Qiao felt extremely tormented and embarrassed at the same time.
Si Yi was also suffering and not feeling well.
The physical injuries and the unfamiliar body of the girl stirred a sense of unease within him.
The two were standing face to face, but out of awkwardness, they both turned their faces away and avoided looking at each other.
"Si Yi, why did you save me?"
After a long while, Lü Qiao suddenly spoke.
Si Yi scoffed, "Of course it's because of your young lady. You're with me. If I stand by and do nothing, that woman will probably start whispering in the master's ear, which will cause trouble."
“Miss is not that kind of person. She was just saying it, but she never said anything bad about you in front of the Prince,” Green Fairy retorted.
"Do you mean you want me to throw you down now?" Si turned around and looked at her coldly.
Green Beauty felt a chill creep up her spine as he stared at her like that.
She said awkwardly, "You went through so much trouble to save me. If you throw me back down, wouldn't that be a waste of your energy?" As she spoke, she suddenly raised her sleeve with difficulty and wiped the sweat from his eyelashes.
Si Yi was startled and subconsciously wanted to slap her hand away, but he remembered the situation and knew that if he made a move, they might both fall, so he refrained from doing so.
But when the girl's sleeve brushed against his nose, a strange fragrance wafted into his nostrils.
He was stunned for a moment, and when he came to his senses, his handsome face regained its usual coldness.
Are we just going to stand here forever?
Green's voice pulled him back from his wandering thoughts.
He composed himself and said in a low voice, "I'll rest for a while, and take you up when I have the strength."
Luqiao suddenly remembered his bloodied right hand and felt a little worried.
He was already seriously injured, and he had just struggled to pull her up, so his hand injury must have gotten even worse.
Lü Qiao convinced herself that she was worried about him because she still needed him to save her.
So after thinking for a moment, she said, "Si Yi, hold me tight, don't let me fall."
Si Yi looked at her, somewhat puzzled. "What did you say?"
Green blushed slightly, realizing he had misunderstood her, and quickly explained, "Your hand is bleeding a lot, I want to bandage it for you."
Si paused for a moment, then said nonchalantly, "It's nothing."
"Don't misunderstand, I just hope you can help me get up there," Green Fairy said quickly.
Upon hearing this, Si Yi glanced at her and said somewhat casually, "What did I misunderstand?"
"I'm glad you didn't misunderstand." After saying that, Lü Qiao ignored him and carefully turned around in his arms.
Because of her movement, a stone under her foot loosened and fell down with a "thud," startling her so much that she froze on the spot, too afraid to move.
At the same time, she didn't know that as she turned around, her buttocks pressed tightly against Si Yi's legs.
Si Yi immediately felt as if he were being burned by fire. He endured it and said through gritted teeth, "Lv Qiao, are you doing this on purpose?"
Lu Qiao snapped out of her daze, gently patted her chest, and quickly pulled up his sleeve, asking in confusion, "What did I do on purpose?"
