This smell in the darkness was strange yet familiar. At the moment of Xie Yuqing's surprise, the fruit knife he held up seemed to have pierced into the other person's flesh.
Because she heard a low muffled sound.
Then the smell of blood diluted the familiar feeling.
At the same time, the person who came reacted very quickly and knocked the knife out of her hand, then picked her up and hugged her sideways.
"Who are you?"
In a panic, Xie Yuqing struggled, grabbing the air with her dancing hands, but accidentally hit a hard and cold spot.
Seems to be……
mask?
For an instant, Xie Yuqing stopped moving.
For some reason, she thought of Aric first.
And the mask on his face.
"...Aric?"
Xie Yuqing stopped struggling and probed hesitantly.
The person holding her paused and let out a low "hmm".
The short sound made her relax instantly.
His arms were strong and his embrace was warm, making her eyes moist for no reason.
After being carried and running for a while, he finally stopped and put Xie Yuqing down.
"Ten steps forward is the exit."
The hoarse and low voice seems to be the result of deliberately changing the voice, but it has an inexplicable intimacy.
Sensing his intention to leave, Xie Yuqing subconsciously grabbed his arm and asked, "Where are you going?"
"I still have something to do."
"Are you seriously injured? I mean, I'm sorry, I didn't know it was you..."
But he took her hand and held his own, leaving a shallow kiss on the back of her hand.
At that moment, the back of Xie Yuqing's hands felt numb, and her heartbeat skipped a beat and became so high that it had never been so high before.
"It is my honor to be injured for the princess."
He left these words in a low voice, then let go of his hand and made no sound quietly.
People are gone.
Xie Yuqing stood there in a daze, unable to regain her composure for a long time.
Even the darkness that originally scared her has become ethereal.
Huh-huh-!
At this time, she suddenly felt a strong wind.
Xie Yuqing came to her senses and immediately ran forward.
Just like Aric said, after running for about ten steps, she suddenly missed the mark.
After spinning for a while, she got up again, only to find that she had returned to the beach.
And the entire sea area shook.
The crystal stone steps began to crack.
In the distance, she saw a figure running wildly.
When she got closer, Xie Yuqing saw clearly that it was Ling Ling.
Why is she the only one?
Xie Yuqing narrowed her eyes and saw her jumping onto the shore. Before she had a chance to ask, she was already grabbing her arm.
I saw Ling Ling saying urgently, "Why did you come out? Hurry! Go and save them!"
Xie Yuqing didn't understand, but at this moment, the sea surface merged violently.
A violent wave crashed towards them.
Boom——
Xie Yuqing was soaked in the rain.
"Ahem..."
Not far away, the two people who were swept up by the sea water were also soaked. The young man's hands tightly grasped Zhou Yueying's shoulders, and his expression was a little angry, and he yelled at her, "Do you really want to die that much?"
Zhou Yueying broke away from him, stumbled up, and looked around distractedly. When she saw Xie Yuqing, who looked helpless, a bright light suddenly burst out in her eyes.
Like ecstasy, excitement, and confusion.
She rushed over in a few steps, holding Xie Yuqing's arm with trembling hands, her lips moved, and her eyes seemed to have thousands of words she wanted to tell.
But in the end, she just said, "As long as you're fine..."
