Looking at the empty window where Gui Kui left, Su Mei stood there, motionless.
However, the confusion in his eyes became more and more intense.
Tenglong King is looking for Ke'er, is he here to snatch back the Bracelet of Time and Space?
Should he take action earlier to avoid long nights and nightmares?
Just when he was wondering, subtle murmurs came into his ears - "Ao Chen Ye... Ao Chen Ye..."
Su Mei froze, turned around suddenly, and looked at her with turbulent eyes as she lightly opened her lotus lips and kept murmuring the same name.
Ao Chenye?
Isn’t this the name of King Tenglong?!
How could Ke'er know him?!
Do they know each other? Are they enemies or friends?
His heartbeat became a little panicked for some reason. Intuitively, he felt that her call to Ao Chenye... did not seem like a hostile relationship, but...
Not wanting to continue imagining it, he hurriedly shook his head, throwing away those speculations that made him feel very uncomfortable.
Walking over, he bent down and knelt down beside her.
Looking at her restless sleeping face, her delicate little figure was so different compared to him.
I have never felt this way before, this feeling of... uncontrollable pity for the weak...
Since he can remember, he has only known one fact - the weak eat the strong!
Only the strong can survive, and he never shows mercy to the weak.
But now, he just feels like he wants to defeat all the strong men in the world, just to let the fragile her sleep peacefully.
"Ao Chenye..." She murmured again uneasily, moved her head, tilted her head to his shoulder, and leaned against him gently.
For a moment, Su Mei felt as if she had been struck by lightning, and a thrilling feeling surged throughout her body.
The feeling of being relied on by her is... very strange, but also... soft and comfortable.
"Ke'er..." He couldn't help but stretched out his hand to touch her face.
However, when he reached halfway, his hand stopped stiffly.
Looking at his hands, a trace of blood red flashed across his eyes.
His hands... were stained with so much blood...
Her face is so fair and pure...
No, he couldn't let his blood stain her, he couldn't...
For the first time, he began to hate his past military exploits and the path of blood that once made him proud of others.
Slowly, he retracted his hand feebly and let out a deep sigh in his chest.
Watching her frowning in her sleep, she was obviously uneasy all the time.
He whispered pityingly: "Ke'er, it's not comfortable to sleep here. I'll take you to a comfortable place."
After speaking, he gently picked her up, a silvery red light flashed around his body, and their figures disappeared into the ruined temple, leaving a faint halo that gradually disappeared in the ruined temple.
Ke'er fell asleep in a daze. She didn't know how long it had been. Perhaps the effect of the drug was fading. She felt that her strength was slowly recovering, and her drowsy dreams were gradually leaving her.
Her eyelids moved and she slowly opened her eyes.
He rolled his eyes a little sluggishly and looked around the surrounding environment. The structure of the unfamiliar wooden house was very simple, but it was built tightly and firmly.
"Where is this?" She rubbed her eyes and got up from the bed.
Su Mei just walked in from outside the door. Seeing her getting out of bed, she unconsciously raised her voice with some joy: "Are you awake? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
Ke'er looked over at him and saw the light smile that appeared naturally on his face. It was very bright and sunny, completely different from the cold and emotionless feeling when she first met him.
He looks more humane now.
She unconsciously followed him and smiled slightly: "I'm fine!"
As she spoke, she remembered that he had taken her to escape from Xianyun Tower. This place... was probably the safe place he had found for the two of them.
"Susu, thank you." She smiled happily, because he was so kind to her.
Su Mei walked up to her, and his tall and handsome figure almost immediately enveloped her.
Facing her grateful smile, his eyes narrowed uneasily, as if he was a little shy and didn't know where to put his hands.
Finally, he looked around the house and changed the subject with some embarrassment: "Master, we are hiding here for the time being. It is very safe here and the bad guys can't find us."
"Didn't you tell me not to call me master? Why are you disobedient?" Ke'er put her hands on her hips, pretending to be majestic and squinting at him with her lips raised.
"...Ke'er." He paused for a moment before gently calling her name.
"Yeah! Be good!" She smiled with satisfaction and nodded.
After that, Su Mei hesitated for a moment, and finally couldn't hold back the strange dull feeling in her heart and asked: "Ke'er, when you were unconscious just now, you called Ao Chenye, who... was he?"
He knew that it was King Tenglong, so there should have been nothing more to ask.
But, for some reason, he felt like he still wanted to know her answer.
Ke'er's whole body froze, and his face instantly turned pale and colorless, as if he had lost his soul and was stunned there.
Ao Chenye...did she call him in her dream? No matter how much she denied her thoughts when she was awake, she would still call him in her dream...
Yes, she shouldn't be surprised by the call in her dream.
When Xianyunlou was almost molested by a bearded man and was extremely frightened, the figure that jumped into her mind was him. At that moment, he was the one calling in her heart to save her.
Subconsciously, she still regards him as her support...
Although, now that she is awake, thinking of him makes her feel heartbroken.
Why can't I forget him after all? Their fate has long since ended.
But, since the fate was over, why did he appear in front of her again?
They shouldn't have met again, God really knows how to play tricks on people...
Their acquaintance, she fell in love with him, he doted on her, he abandoned her ruthlessly, he... almost killed her...
Everything really seemed like a dream, but it was a lonely dream. She was looking forward to a happy ending in the dream, deceiving herself, but she didn't know that the dream was a dream after all, and everything was just her extravagant hope in the dream.
"Ke'er?" Su Mei looked at her pale face with horror, her sad face that was weeping but holding back her tears. He was really frightened.
"..." Ke'er looked ahead as if she hadn't heard anything, her pupils unfocused.
"Ke'er?" Sumei pulled her sleeves eagerly and shook her, but there was no response. She shook her again, but there was no response...
If he knew his question would make her like this, he would never ask it!
It's all his fault. Why should he ask her what's going on with him because of the uncomfortable dullness in his heart?
