Chapter 269: Joler Extra: Reunion
Probably never thought about it.
There will be a day when we meet again, and in such a dramatic way. Joler, leaning against the inner wall of the cave, covered his injured arm and looked in astonishment at the girl who had just entered the cave and was obviously stunned.
"...Wang, Wang brother?"
Qiao Xi was also stunned, and blurted out this name almost subconsciously.
But then.
Qiao Xi quickly realized that something was wrong. Now she had nothing to do with Qiao Leier, and besides, she was not from Atlantis. Such a title was not appropriate for a royal like her.
It should be disrespectful and excessive.
After thinking for a moment, she changed her tone and moved closer to the young man: "Qiao Laier, what's wrong with you?"
The king of Atlantis has not yet completely relinquished power.
Qiao Laier needs to succeed to the throne and also needs to go through trials and tribulations. And now he is in the process of trials and tribulations. Now he just saw that a heavy rain was about to fall outside and found a place to hide.
"I'm a little injured, and... you can call me by the same name as before."
Jorel paused when he looked at her, and when he said the second half of the sentence, his voice was obviously much softer.
“…I see. Got it.”
Qiao Xi simply sat down beside him and gently lifted his injured arm naturally. The healing magic on the girl's fingertips condensed and healed his wound.
Jorel was silent.
There was no intention of resisting or refusing, just letting Qiao Xi use magic. The warm light flowed and the wound gradually healed. Qiao Leier lowered his eyes and took a look.
"No wand needed?"
She is not a sea creature now, so she needs a medium to cast magic, right?
The little girl smiled brightly, "No need, I've learned to control the elements without a wand."
Jorel looked at her smile and didn't know what to say for a moment.
He didn't know where the girl went after she left.
It's not that he hadn't thought about bringing her back, but the king said that the princess of Atlantis was right here and there was no need to waste time looking for someone unimportant.
...It's like this again.
He will never be able to control his own life.
Perhaps he will only be able to have true freedom when he truly succeeds to the throne, but by then he will surely be locked up in a bigger cage.
Silence fell again.
At this moment, dark clouds were already forming outside the cave. Heavy rain poured down, and the oppressive and dreary sky, accompanied by the damp, cold air, gradually spread into the cave.
And just when Jorel's thoughts were wandering.
He suddenly noticed the girl approaching him, and before he could react and come to his senses, the girl's face suddenly grew larger in front of him.
And the next moment.
The warm and soft touch landed carefully on his lips.
Qiao Laier's pupils suddenly constricted, his rational alarm bells ringing, and he raised his hand and subconsciously wanted to push Qiao Xi away. The girl herself took the initiative to retreat after this bold attempt.
"Qiao Xi..."
His voice was slightly hoarse, and his lips trembled as he barely managed to pronounce the girl's name. His mind went blank, leaving only disbelief.
His self-righteous sanity.
It seemed to melt away instantly when this boundary was broken.
At this time, Qiao Xi's actions were even more extreme. She moved forward and hugged the young man's neck, her soft body half nestled in Qiao Leier's arms.
She chuckled softly, and her soft voice was filled with a fatal allure that could tempt and lead to depravity:
"Is it okay? You are not my brother, we are not related by blood."
It was like being entangled and bound by a snake, gradually tightening.
Qiao Leier's heart seemed to be moved by her every move at this moment, and Qiao Xi closed her beautiful eyes slightly and came closer again, kissing his lips slowly and teasingly.
During the brief separation, the girl's whisper could still be heard.
"Besides, haven't you been hiding for so long and it's been very difficult? If my brother wasn't such a coward, how could he not be able to resist this situation?"
Qiao Xi seemed to be deliberately trying to provoke him.
He called out "Brother Wang" in such a teasing tone, completely losing all of his former innocence.
Her acting has always been good.
Even if it was just a casual act, it could be performed flawlessly. At this moment, Jorel had the most intuitive feeling about this.
This was something he had never seen before...
The other side of Qiao Xi.
"Stop messing around." Noticing that the girl in his arms was restless, Jorel breathed a little heavier and pulled her away.
"Look, you're still running away at this moment. That's why you can only watch helplessly as everything you have is slowly lost."
Qiao Xi's wrist was gripped so tightly by him that it felt a little painful now.
The girl remained calm, her gaze so gentle it seemed to hold the most affectionate and clear spring water: "Even when others are with me, if one day..."
“That’s enough!”
Qiao Xi was interrupted by him before she could finish her words. The veil that covered her was pulled open, and her most unspeakable emotions were exposed.
Joel didn't understand.
I didn't know that Qiao Xi would behave so abnormally when we met again.
The girl probably saw what he was thinking.
Qiao Xi restrained herself somewhat, lowering her beautiful eyes slightly but still sighing softly: "Brother Wang, this is the last time I will appear in front of you. My body can no longer support me for much longer."
She was filled with an inextricable sadness.
Joler was stunned when he saw this. The rage that had just surged out seemed to be extinguished instantly by water, and everything came to an abrupt stop.
She has changed so much.
And the action just now happened in a very short period of time.
Now Qiao Xi's words also gave him a bad feeling.
"I'm sorry Joel, I'd love to be so indulgent with you."
But the girl took advantage of his surprise and quietly attacked him again. Her slender hands wrapped around his back and hugged him, and the elegant fragrance gradually became stronger as she got closer.
“Hmm…”
Jorel frowned and tried to push her away, but this time he failed. He clenched his hands at his sides, and the girl carefully and tentatively kissed his lips lightly.
At this time, Qiao Xi also grabbed Qiao Leier's clenched hand.
"You've already decided to give up on yourself. Even when faced with opportunities, you hesitate, wondering if this is what you should do as an heir."
Qiao Xi's kiss was always light and always stayed at a shallow level.
She didn't go any further in offending him, but she felt that if she didn't bully Joler, who was suppressing himself and gradually losing himself, he probably wouldn't understand.
She knew that if she tried to reason with him, Jorel would shun her.
After all, Qiao Laier always managed to convince her with that theory, and perhaps also convince himself. Qiao Xi could only use such a straightforward way to force him to face his inner thoughts.
"...You shouldn't have messed with me."
Jorel lowered his eyes and head, his hoarse voice trembling slightly, filled with suppressed pain. His clenched fist at his side gradually loosened, and the next second, he clasped the girl's hand tightly.
Qiao Xi was slightly surprised, then met his gaze fearlessly.
"Brother Wang, I'm going to provoke you. Or do you want to push me away and into someone else's arms this time?"
She deliberately joked in her lively voice as she used to.
At this moment, Joler's heart felt as if it was suddenly tightened, and a sour feeling flooded his heart.
once……
He also spent a long time numb himself, forcing himself to forget and choose to bless, but every time he saw more outstanding opposite sex appearing around Qiao Xi.
This sense of crisis that shouldn't exist will become increasingly stronger.
He could only keep convincing himself and keep pushing Qiao Xi away from him, which also made him slowly give up hope and become completely desperate.
But no.
Instead, he felt even more miserable.
Even though Qiao Leier was looking at Qiao Xi like this now, he still couldn't adapt to the girl's transformation.
But meeting again undoubtedly made him feel sincerely happy.
Even if I don't want to admit it rationally, I can't control my emotions at all.
"It's not too late to regret now."
Qiao Leier took a deep breath. As long as Qiao Xi said no, he could pretend that nothing had happened.
Even if there is no blood relationship.
He can also treat her as a sister like before.
"I keep my word and won't regret it. But you, my brother... aren't you doing well enough?"
Qiao Xi raised her hand and stroked the man's face, her eyes looking away intentionally or unintentionally, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.
This directly aroused Joel's desire to win.
He took the girl's waist and raised his eyebrows slightly: "No?"
This time, without waiting for Qiao Xi to answer, Qiao Laier took the initiative to cover her lips and kissed her. No matter what the outcome was, no matter what the price would be in the future.
No matter how much time she has left.
This time, he wouldn't let go and push her away.
