He slowly stood up from the table.

The room was very spacious, but I don’t know if it was my illusion, but when he stood up, the whole room became smaller, so depressing that people could hardly breathe.

And I stood at the door and watched him walk towards me step by step.

It was like a mountain. When he walked up to me, all the light was blocked, leaving only his clear outline and most of his face covered by shadows. When he looked down at me, I didn't even know what expression he was looking at me who was "resurrected from the dead".

The atmosphere in the room almost suffocated me.

Then, I watched him slowly raise his hand.

I closed my eyes in fear.

Is he going to hit me? Or is he going to pinch my throat? I dare not think about it, but the clear pain in my memory was resurrected at this moment. I took a step back and found that I had no way out. There was a closed door behind me. The moment I bumped into my back, I almost thought I had reached a desperate situation.

However, the expected pain and suffocation did not come for a long time.

On the contrary, I felt a moment of gentle caress on my face.

I suddenly opened my eyes wide, but met the pair of dark and flashing eyes that were close to me. He had almost touched my body, and his undulating chest was pressed against my undulating chest. His whole body was locked between the door and his chest as if it was covered by me, and his hand was stopping on my face.

I suddenly felt like I was bitten by a poisonous snake, and I didn't dare to move.

He looked down at me, his eyes flashing as if something was almost crushed and fell, and I didn't want to look at him like this, so I immediately turned my face away.

But as soon as he moved, he was stroked by his other hand.

My hands were slightly closed, as if I was holding a rare treasure, and my cheeks were lightly held. The temperature in my palms became hotter and hotter, just like the temperature in his eyes, almost burning me.

"Let me go!"

"Don't move..."

His voice was completely hoarse at this moment.

It seemed as if he had walked through the dry desert and finally found a clear spring. His hand, which had always been as stable as a rock, began to tremble at this moment, and even his eyes were not so sure. He looked at me and then at me, his breathing heavier and hotter and hotter.

Finally, I heard his mute voice say, "You are still alive..."

It seemed like a needle was stabbing hard through his back and into my chest, making my breathing and his heart trembled at this moment.

I shivered in pain and looked up at him.

"You are still alive!"

As if he wanted to confirm this possibility, he repeated it again.

I wanted to say something, but my lips trembled slightly and I couldn't say anything. In fact, no matter what I said, it was too late to see him. I had nothing to explain, and all the facts were placed in front of him one by one.

I'm alive.

I married someone else.

I gave birth to our daughter.

We... have met again.

It was like a play, and he and I finally got to this point. After experiencing life and death, separation, and all the entanglements that I thought could be ended, we finally met again.

"You're still alive."

“…”

"At that time, you jumped off the boat, as light as a bird. Until now, I don't think you're committing suicide, but you've become an immortal."

The lighter his voice, the more scared I felt, and I was even so scared that I didn't even dare to continue breathing. It felt like I was strangled by fate's hand, like a trapped beast forced into a desperate situation.

He seemed to feel my gaze, with a hint of despair, and he suddenly said, "What are you afraid of?"

“…”

"Are you afraid that I will hurt you?"

"..." I didn't say anything, but the vigilant and fearful gaze when I looked at him had already explained it all.

As if he was suppressing something, he raised his head and took a long breath.

But his hands holding my face were always light and didn't even use any more strength. When he lowered his head to look at me again, those hands even began to gently stroke my cheeks. When his fingertips gently stroked my earlobes, the numbness brought by the numbness made me tremble.

"I know that at that time, you suffered a lot of grievances. Yuquan also said that you had committed suicide several times when you were in prison."

“…”

"So, I won't blame you."

“…”

"I don't blame you for leaving me."

If I didn't mention the sudden fear in my heart at the beginning, but after the fear, all the perceptions of the past were resurrected, pain, helplessness, despair... to the end - hatred.

Every section is blood and tears. I thought it was a matter of the previous life. I don’t want any repayment in this life, and I can only pay for my peace and happiness for half of my life.

But now—

I looked at him, but saw that his gaze seemed to be gloomy, but immediately, he raised his head and looked at me with a smile. There seemed to be a hint of happiness in his smile. He looked down at my pale face, gently rubbed my trembling lips with his thumb, and said softly: "You are still alive, that's enough."

I was like a beast trapped in a trap, completely strangled by fate, and at this moment I didn't even have the strength to breathe.

And he looked at me in horror and helplessness, and a faint curl of my mouth, as if it was a curve of smile, and said softly: "Don't be afraid."

“…”

"I, I'm...want..."

At the end of his words, he became a fuzzy murmur on his tongue, as if he was trapped in a chaotic and unwilling to wake up. I only felt one of his hands lifting my chin, and then he closed his eyes intoxicatedly, lowered his head to me, and slowly approached my lips...

No!

A scream in my heart made me wake up from the suffocation I was strangled by him. I didn't know where I got the strength and pushed him away: "No!"

He was caught off guard and was pushed hard by me, took several steps back, and knocked over the stool behind him.

I leaned against the door in horror, and even my breathing was trembling with fear, as if I was staring at him with wide eyes as if I was looking at a beast that was about to devour me. As long as he approached me one more step, I would turn around and run away.

When he was pushed away by me, his face immediately showed anger, but when he looked up at my horrified look, the anger seemed to be extinguished again.

He smiled.

"Don't be afraid."

“…”

"I won't-I don't want to hurt you."

“…”

"You have suffered a lot, I know."

But even if he said this, it would not make me feel relaxed at all. I just felt that I was a rabbit pressed by a tiger under the claws. When he wanted to tear my throat apart was just a question of how much I could protect myself and Liu Saner.

After being silent for a while, I finally spoke, my voice hoarse as if it was not my own: "How did you find it-"

Before he finished speaking, another sound of footsteps came from outside the door.

Before he could react, Liu Saner had already pushed the door and walked in. When he turned around, he saw me leaning behind the door. He immediately said "Huh": "Why are you here?"

"I--"

I was in a state of discomfort for a moment and didn't know how to deal with it. At this time, Pei Yuanhao said lightly: "Madam Zun saw that you haven't come back for a long time, so I want to go out to find you."

As he said that, he looked at me: “Is that so?”

With indescribable tremor and fear, I nodded quickly.

Liu Saner immediately laughed, and while smiling, she took me back to the table to sit down, and said shyly: "I'll make fun of you. I've never eaten anything so spicy before."

While saying that, I was still inhaling in Sce. I knew that at this time I should not say or do anything easily. I could only gently push a bowl of tea in front of me and said lightly: "Wait a little longer and stop eating."

"Yeah." He nodded, took another big sip of tea, but frowned and secretly stuck out his tongue.

If I were in normal times, I would definitely laugh, but at this time, I couldn't laugh, and I didn't even dare to laugh. I could only look at him like this, and my eyes would still be on the man who had been silent.

I don't know when it will be difficult, I only know that once it is difficult - everything is over.

But Liu San'er seemed to be unaware of it. After drinking tea, she turned around and looked at me again, and said with a smile: "Li'er grows up in the future. She has to let her learn to eat spicy food, so don't make jokes like me."

My face shook slightly.

Out of the corner of my eyes, I saw the person on the opposite side stand up. I suddenly opened my eyes nervously, and saw him get up and said with a smile: "When it comes to Li'er, I actually prepared a gift for this child."

"What?" Liu San'er waved his hand quickly and said, "This is not possible. Mr. Yuan, you saved me before and took care of me for so long. It's already a great kindness. How can you still want your things?"

He smiled faintly and said, "It's not a big thing. It's just for - for the children, so it's considered a meeting gift."

After saying that, he took something out of his sleeve.

I subconsciously turned my head and glanced, and this glance immediately made me stunned.

It was a red rope, with a small shiny hanging hanging under it. When you look closely, it turned out to be an orchid buckle made of gold!

My mind was confused for a moment - the orchid buckle fell off when I was in Hongye Temple. Later, although I wanted to go back and look for it, I couldn't find it back. I thought I was so lost, but how could it be in his hands?

No, no, how could he find the orchid buckle? I'm afraid he took it off his clothes.
