Perhaps because of her persuasion, the purple light on the small bracelet was no longer so bright that it dazzled the eyes.
Gradually, the purple light turned soft and slowly disappeared...
After that, everything calmed down, as calm as a complete compromise.
Seeing this change, Kerr blinked the tears from her eyes in surprise and joy, carefully took a deep breath, and then tried to take off the bracelet again.
"Swish", the bracelet slipped out of my hand.
Looking at the bracelet on her palm, lying quietly and obediently on her hand, Ke'er couldn't help but feel happy and sad at the same time.
It was the one that brought her to this time and space and has always been with her. Even though the powerful Ao Chenye once wanted to force it to leave her, it always stuck to her.
Now, she wants to give it to others with her own hands, how can she feel embarrassed?
Ke'er's eyes reddened sadly, and at the same time, she secretly made a decision: "Thank you, as long as I save Susu, I will find a way to save you!"
Then, she wrapped the purple gold bracelet in silk and started running towards the place indicated on the note.
…
The snow was falling harder and harder, the cold wind was blowing towards my face, and my vision became hazy.
Ke'er bundled up her clothes tightly and huddled her neck. Even though her teeth were chattering due to the cold, she continued running without flinching.
In the freezing weather, almost no one came out of this desolate suburb.
There was a vast expanse of white emptiness all around. Except for the howling snow wind, not even a single animal could be seen. Everything was so silent that it made people feel chilled from the bottom of their hearts.
As she was walking, suddenly, a black figure suddenly appeared in front of her.
"Yeah!" She didn't expect that someone would suddenly appear in this cold and desolate place, and she couldn't stop and ran straight into the person in front of her.
She jumped into the other person's arms with a "pop", a warm and familiar ambergris flowed into her nose, and her body suddenly froze.
Ao Chenye? Why did he suddenly appear here?
The nervousness came to mind, and his gentle voice fell softly from the top of his head: "Why are you still so reckless? What should I do if I fall?"
It sounds like a reproachful statement, but it is mixed with unconcealable tenderness. Such a male voice makes people feel so warm.
It's just that she is no longer the same person she once was.
His tenderness...she didn't dare to accept it.
After her body and mind cooled down, she calmly retreated from his arms.
Looking up, he looked at him who was still tall, handsome and noble, but his face was slightly stained with pale snow, and his breathing was a little short, as if he had just experienced an anxious run.
"Long time no see." She was thinking in her heart, but she didn't know what to ask or what to say, so she blurted out this sentence.
Seeing her unfamiliarly walking a few steps away from him, Ao Chenye's heart ached.
"Little cutie, it'll be nice to see you're okay. Do you know how worried I am about something happening to you?" There was suppressed excitement in his voice. He wanted to hug her tightly to make sure she was really okay.
stood in front of him.
However, he couldn't and... didn't dare.
Hearing this, Ke'er's eyebrows moved slightly.
It seems that he is worthy of being the Tenglong King with great magical powers. He even knew about her being captured into Caizhou Mansion so quickly.
So, did he also know that Caizhou Mansion wanted her to take the purple gold bracelet in exchange for Su Mei's safety? That's why he hurriedly came to stop her?
Thinking of this possibility, her expression tensed up slightly and her face turned cold.
"I'm fine. Thank you for worrying." Her voice was even colder as she spoke, and she took a step back defensively.
Seeing her instinctive action of retreating to create a safe distance, Ao Chenye's eyes dimmed for a moment.
"Little cutie, are we really that strange to each other?" He was a little helpless, and his heart was full of deep disappointment.
She raised her eyes suddenly, with hurt stimulation in her eyes, and reflexively blurted out: "We don't know each other very well to begin with!"
"..." The corners of Ao Chenye's lips drooped in a bitter arc, and he always felt deeply sad for her like a hedgehog.
With a long and sad sigh in his heart, he looked deeply at her alienated and guarded face, his throat was a little tight, and his voice was hoarse: "Little cutie, I promise I won't hurt you again, can you trust me again?"
"
"Promise?" Ke'er murmured sadly and sarcastically, feeling a dull pain in her chest.
His guarantee, his promise... She no longer had extravagant hopes!
She looked at him coldly with clear eyes and asked: "Then tell me why you are blocking my way now?"
"I'm here...to find you and protect you." He stared at her affectionately, hoping that she could understand his concern for her.
However, once some feelings are hurt, it is difficult to make up for it.
Regarding his affectionate care, she coldly questioned: "Really? Aren't you here just for the purple gold bracelet in my hand?"
"Holy bracelet?" Ao Chenye frowned slightly, then relaxed his eyebrows in an instant.
A touch of all-embracing tenderness appeared on the corner of his lips: "It belongs to you, believe me, even if you want to throw it away, I will not interfere anymore."
Even if it is the sacred object of Tenglong Kingdom, even if losing the holy bracelet will bring him eternal infamy, he is still willing...to take all the responsibilities for her trust in him!
Hearing this, Ke'er was startled, and her heartbeat was suddenly shaken by something.
Looking seriously at the indulgent tenderness on his face, she began to feel a little shaken in her heart.
Thinking back on everything that happened these days, it was all about his gentle care for her...
His tender eyes, his sadness and bitterness after being rejected by her, his omnipresent protection...
These images passed through my mind one by one.
Can such true feelings really be faked? She asked herself that she couldn't pretend to be so realistic.
So, is everything he said before true?
But……
The heart-wrenching scenes in the palace flashed through her mind again. The pain that she thought she could forget, still tore her heart when she thought about it.
The intertwined torments tugging at her heart made her uncontrollably confused.
She felt...she could no longer withstand his repeated attacks of tenderness.
No, she must never fall into such pain that life is worse than death. She doesn't want to... experience the love and hate of drawing swords and fighting each other until death.
Holding her chest tightly, she tried to calm down her surging heart, and looked at him tentatively but couldn't help but mockingly -
"Really? Even if I give it away?"
Taking into account her tangled and wavering expression, Ao Chenye seemed to have seen a glimmer of hope.
As long as he wins back her trust again, he is willing to risk everything for her...
His heart settled, he smiled affectionately and without regrets, tolerant and firm: "I said, it is yours! If... you really lose the holy bracelet, I will bear all the consequences for you!"
