Chapter 43 Ah Xu is so scared...
Ice-cold, warm, and as light as a feather.
The surrounding area was covered with moss, slippery and cold.
As Pei Jingxu threw herself into his arms, he fell backwards!
Subconsciously protecting her head, Rong Jianxue fell to the ground.
"Ah..." Pei Jingxu cried out softly and quickly stood up to look at the man!
"My lord, are you okay?"
As if he was extremely worried about the man's condition, Pei Jingxu leaned over to help Rong Jianxue!
There were still water droplets on her fingertips, and the cold water droplets dripped into the man's eyes through the veil. Rong Jianxue suddenly stood up and pushed Pei Jingxu away!
"ah--"
The woman cried out in pain, probably because she hit her ankle again, and she fell down on the stone steps.
Rong Jianxue reacted, frowned, took a few steps forward, and reached out to check her ankle.
But because he was blindfolded, his fingertips were not "precisely" placed on her ankle.
A cool and delicate touch came, and in an instant, Rong Jianxue's mind went blank.
"hiss--"
Pei Jingxu frantically grabbed the man's hand, her voice weak and trembling: "It's so itchy..."
——It’s the waist.
Not wearing a single thread.
Feeling the cold touch, Rong Jianxue pursed her thin lips into a straight line.
Her hand was still held by her, and her slender and delicate hand could only grasp three of his finger bones.
The soft, boneless hand pinched unconsciously, and the woman's voice trembled with pain: "Sir, your clothes are soaked..."
It was indeed soaking wet.
Just now she threw herself into his arms and the spring water splashed all over him.
Rong Jianxue's mind was a bit confused. He lowered his head and quickly sorted out his thoughts before speaking in a hoarse voice, "Put on your clothes. Which leg is cramping?"
Pei Jingxu was wearing a thin dress, her voice trembling with pain: "Right foot, I, I soaked it for too long..."
There was a hint of guilt and self-blame in his tone.
Rong Jianxue frowned but didn't move.
Seemingly at a loss.
Pei Jingxu raised his eyebrows slightly, and the corners of his lips curved up.
She grabbed the man's hand again.
His palms were warm and broad, like ice and fire compared to her cold finger bones.
"No," she took his hand, "it's here."
He couldn't see, so she could only take him to find the "wound" like this.
Rong Jianxue lowered her head and said nothing, his fingertips still stained with the wetness of her body. He lifted her toes and stretched them slightly upwards to relieve her pain.
"Is this better?"
He asked, his tone sounding cold and calm.
Pei Jingxu gasped, and the sudden pain made her struggle with her ankle to escape.
But it didn't work.
The man could easily grab her entire ankle with one hand, and no matter how she struggled, she couldn't move it away.
As if she had suffered a great injustice, Pei Jingxu's eyes turned red and she complained in a delicate voice: "It hurts..."
The phalanges pressing against her toes curled up, Rong Jianxue's jaw tightened, and her tone was slightly deep: "Bear with it."
Although he said so, the strength in his hands was a little lighter. He slowly pressed down on her toes to stretch her muscles.
Pei Jingxu bit her lip and groaned, still struggling slightly. Unable to bear it any longer, she cried out "pain" in a trembling voice.
The veil on her eyes fluttered lightly, and Rong Jianxue's throat rolled up and down a few times. She tried to divert her attention: "Why did you come here alone?"
Pei Jingxu sniffed and said in a muffled voice, "The young monk in the temple said that the cold springs in the back mountain can relieve the summer heat. After I woke up, my head was groggy, so I thought of coming here to take a dip..."
Then Pei Jingxu asked in a clear voice, "Why is the master here?"
Rong Jianxue: “…”
He didn't really want her to know that he had followed her out of worry.
It will cause unnecessary misunderstandings.
"Me too," he said calmly, "It's so hot today, so I wanted to come to the cold spring."
A hint of emotion flashed across Pei Jingxu's eyes, but he just said "Oh" obediently.
"Are you feeling better?" Rong Jianxue asked her.
Pei Jingxu moved his ankle and nodded: "Yeah, better..."
Rong Jianxue said calmly, "Put on your clothes. It's too late. We should go back."
"good."
Pei Jingxu nodded, slowly stood up, and stepped on the slippery moss again. Pei Jingxu fell towards the man in panic!
When Rong Jianxue heard the noise, he subconsciously reached out to take it!
Pei Jingxu put her arms around the man's neck and fell on him!
With strong arms wrapped around Pei Jingxu's slender waist, Rong Jianxue lifted her waist up, worried that she would slip.
In a panic, Pei Jingxu "accidentally" pulled off the veil on the man's eyes. The evening breeze blew, carrying the veil far away.
Unexpectedly, the woman's panicked eyes met the man's.
He looked at her steadily, his eyes moving around without a second thought.
Pei Jingxu widened her eyes. The man was tall and his robe was loose, easily wrapping her whole body.
Just when Pei Jingxu secretly praised his successful plan and wanted to take the next step -
The next second, Rong Jianxue's eyes turned cold and he suddenly looked somewhere in the distance. Almost in an instant, he stretched out his hand and covered Pei Jingxu's eyes.
“Woo woo—”
She seemed to hear the growl of some animal.
Her body suddenly stiffened, and Pei Jingxu curled up in the man's arms.
"ah……"
Pei Jingxu let out a soft cry.
Rong Jianxue's palm was still covering her eyes, and her voice was calm and low: "Don't look."
Pei Jingxu reacted almost instantly.
——There are wolves.
Wolves usually appear in groups, and if you alarm them at this time, it will be difficult to escape.
Thinking this, Pei Jingxu subconsciously moved closer to Rong Jianxue's arms.
She was only wearing a thin gauze skirt, which was dyed with spring water and draped over her body, as if it were nothing.
Pei Jingxu's body was cold.
Rong Jianxue frowned slightly and covered her with her cloak.
Pei Jingxu was actually very nervous too.
Although she knew that there were ferocious beasts in the back mountain, it was precisely with this opportunity that she was able to let Rong Jianxue come here to find her.
But - when she really encountered a wild beast, her hands and feet still felt numb.
Since his rebirth, Pei Jingxu has been gambling with his life, gambling on Rong Jianxue's mercy, and gambling on his every act of softness.
This time, she was still gambling.
Taking a deep breath, Pei Jingxu forced himself to remain calm.
She was so "scared" that she put her head in the man's arms, wrapped her arms around his thin waist, and tightened them slightly.
Rong Jianxue thought she was really scared and whispered to her, "Don't be afraid, they were just passing by and didn't see us."
He spoke in a low voice and did not act rashly.
Pei Jingxu rested his head against the man's chest and nodded, but still did not dare to move.
She seemed to have entrusted her life to him. The scent of jasmine in front of her and the sandalwood on his body entangled together, like a silent confrontation.
Rong Jianxue protected Pei Jingxu's waist with one hand and covered her eyes with the other hand, her heartbeat steady and strong.
Pei Jingxu called him softly, her voice trembling and soft.
Rong Jianxue said "hmm" and paid attention to the movements in the distance.
“Woo…”
The low growls of wolves came from far away, then gradually faded away. It turned out that the wolves were passing by here.
"Sir, please hold Ah Xu tight, Ah Xu is so scared..."
