At night, light candles, and the tiny warm light gives this deserted small building a little life.
He brought a basin of water, poured the medicine in, lifted up his bangs, dipped a piece of white cloth in the medicine, and slowly wiped the red spot on his right cheek in front of the mirror.
The water in the basin gradually turned red, and the cheek in the mirror became whiter and flawless. She had not seen this face for half a year.
She is always cautious and goes all out in her work. Her profession prevents her from making any carelessness or flaws.
In the past year, she has never shown her true face
She stared at herself in the mirror, leaned back on the chair, and slowly closed her eyes
After killing Zhang Dapeng, she has been running around on the road with almost no rest
That day is coming, she must come back
After every test of life and death, she would only feel a little relaxed when she came back here.
Although this is not her home, she has no home, but here, at least she does not have to think about how to kill people
In such a quiet night, she was about to fall asleep, but there was a faint sound in her ears, like singing softly, endlessly.
Very familiar sound of flute
She opened her eyes, got up and went downstairs, slowly walking towards the woods
The sound of the flute becomes clearer and deeper, like the lingering thoughts of a lover
Under the moonlight and in the mist, a slender figure stands under the acacia tree, playing the flute quietly, with a lonely and elegant back.
she walked to him
"You're back!" He removed the flute from his lips and looked at her with a smile, his eyes as bright and gentle as moonlight.
"Yes, I'm back," she said softly
Staring at each other, speechless
"Ye," he called her name softly, and suddenly opened his arms and hugged her tightly
That kind of strong longing, joy, and excitement surrounded her. Even though she was so calm and reserved, she couldn't remain indifferent.
"You're finally back, I'm very worried." He stroked her hair gently, her nose filled with her cool and elegant breath.
"I'm fine." She leaned against his neck and smiled lightly, with a touch of softness and vividness on her face.
This is the expression you only get when you're with him
"Night, night, night," he called her name softly, his voice swirling in her hair: "I'm scared day and night, afraid that I won't be able to stay with you. I... can't bear this kind of day anymore, I'm going to...
…”
Her hand covered his lips, and her eyes were very deep: "Don't go, you wait for me, you must wait until that day."
He stared at her with regret in his eyes
She said this every time. It had been five years, how could he bear to let her suffer like this again?
He held the hand covering his face and said gently but firmly: "I must say that I have had enough. I can no longer endure this kind of life. You don't have to worry about this. Let me take care of it."
She lowered her eyes: "He won't agree."
"As long as I ask him, he will definitely agree. You have done enough and you should have your own life. I will not let you suffer like this again, believe me."
"Ask the book, it's over for the last time..."
He hugged her tightly and prevented her from talking any more. His voice was full of pain and excitement that he tried to suppress: "I'm afraid of losing you. Every time you go out, I wish it was me who went there. I can't help but think, if you
If I really don't come back, how can I... survive? Every time, I think, maybe, this time I will really... lose... you, I've really had enough, I... can't take this risk anymore
Do you understand, I...can't afford to gamble...can't afford to lose..."
He is calm and gentle, but he is such a stubborn and fanatical person at heart.
She nestled quietly in his arms, listening to his heartbeat and feeling his warmth
Only when she was with him did she feel that people were warm
