"Oh, okay!" Xiaohong covered her mouth with a snicker, and quickly led him forward. Then she pointed at a dark hole in front of her and said, "Sister Ake fell here."
Ming Siqi didn't have time to think too much, so she ran over and looked inside, "Xiaohong, prepare a torch for me? I want to go down."
"I think the torch is no longer needed. Master Qi, just go down like this!" After saying that, he pushed Ming Cangqi down hard.
"Xiao Hong!" Ming Si Qi tried to react again, but it was too late, and his body instantly slipped down. Xiao Hong's cunning and laughing voice came from above, "Master Qi, don't let down our good intentions! Seize the opportunity!"
The cave was not deep, only a few feet, but it was pitch black inside. When Mingsi Qi slipped down, his head hit the wall of the cave. He screamed in pain and quickly supported himself on the ground with both hands.
Suddenly, his whole body was shaken, and the warm things he caught under his palm were a person's hand!
"Ah!" he shouted, jumping to the side as if he had seen a ghost.
"What's it called? It's so noisy!" A cold female voice, with a hint of sullenness.
Ming Siqi was startled for a moment. He was very familiar with this voice, "Ake?! Why are you here?"
Ah Ke was sitting in the corner, and all he could see was his wide eyes and a self-deprecating smile, "How you got here is how I got here."
Ming Siqi suddenly realized, "It's those girls who are responsible for this!"
Ah Ke was noncommittal and said bitterly, "Don't let me go up there, or they will be dead!" If they dare to set a trap on her, they'd better wash their necks and wait there!
Ming Siqi slowly crawled over and sat next to her, "Uh, you, are you okay?"
"My foot is sprained, but I won't die."
Hearing that she was injured, Ming Siqi nervously leaned down and groped for her feet, "Where is it? Show me quickly."
"Huh..." He happened to touch her swollen ankle. Ah Ke took a breath of air and pushed him away, "It hurts!"
"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's too dark here, I can't see." Ming Siqi felt guilty and quickly explained, and then asked carefully, "Is it serious?"
"……not heavy."
There was another moment of silence.
Ming Siqi suddenly said, "Did you hear that I fell, so you were deceived by them?"
Ah Ke didn't say anything, but the answer couldn't be more obvious. Ming Siqi finally smiled. What does it mean that Ah Ke, who has always been calm, fell into such a clumsy trap?
"They have a sense of propriety when they are making trouble. Tomorrow morning at the latest will come to rescue us and will not delay your return to the court." Ah Ke said quietly.
Ming Siqi's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he turned around to face Ah Ke. Although neither of them could see the other's face clearly, they could clearly feel each other's breathing.
"Do you really want me to leave?" His question was a bit aggressive.
Ah Ke raised his eyes, but said nothing.
"Answer me, do you really want me to go?"
She was a little irritated and turned her head away from him.
"A'ke," he pulled her shoulder, not allowing her to treat him with such indifference, "as long as you speak, I will not leave even if I am kicked out of the royal family!"
A'ke bit her lip, feeling that his words stirred up waves in her heart, but she was used to hiding her emotions, but she still remained indifferent and cold, "This is not up to me. It's up to you whether to leave or not."
He held the hands on his shoulders and slowly loosened them, "Haha, is that so?" He smiled self-deprecatingly, "Yeah, these things have nothing to do with you at all."
Ah Ke's heart trembled and he wanted to say something, but his throat was stuck badly.
Ming Siqi leaned against the cave wall, sighed quietly, and then said after a while, "Can I hold your hand?"
Ah Ke frowned, "Huh?"
He smiled and explained, "Don't get me wrong, I'm just... afraid of the dark. I'm not used to such a dark place. If you don't want to, forget it."
Ah Ke hesitated for a moment, but still stretched out his hand. The moment he held her hand, Ming Siqi immediately held it tightly, so tight that it hurt.
Wait.
"Can I... hold you?"
Ah Ke suddenly raised his head and said, "You still don't have a long memory."
"No, no, no, you misunderstood again." Ming Siqi explained with great sincerity, "When I was very young and was punished for making mistakes, my father would often lock me in a dark secret room for a day and a night. From then on.
Since childhood, I have been afraid of the dark and... being alone. Therefore, Silin will always be by my side. Now that he is not here, I can only..."
Ah Ke pursed her lips tightly and let out a muffled "hmm" for a long time.
Ming Siqi happily stretched out his arms, pulled her into his arms, and hugged her contentedly. Feeling the stiffness of the delicate body in his arms, he reminded him "kindly", "Relax, don't be too nervous, just treat it as a hug."
Just put on the quilt."
"Shut up." A'ke felt her face getting hot. When she heard his powerful heartbeat, her heart seemed to resonate with him and beat faster than it.
Ming Siqi grinned and hugged her tightly. Gradually, Ah Ke no longer tensed up, and relaxed a little tiredly. She leaned against him. The wine she had just drank also started to open up now.
, and felt dizzy for a while. At this time, he whispered softly above his head, "If I can hold you like this forever, I would rather not go out."
"I don't want to accompany you." Ah Ke poured a basin of cold water on him in confusion.
"Ah Ke, how old are you this year?" A sudden question made Ah Ke turn pale, "Why do you ask this?"
Ming Siqi couldn't hear her displeasure and said to herself, "You must have been eighteen or nineteen when I met you, uh, aren't you twenty-two or three now? Yeah, this is an old girl.
It’s over!”
"Pah!" He received a slap on the chest so hard that his facial features twisted together in pain, "I... I was just talking casually, why are you angry?"
Facts have proved that age is always a woman’s flaw.
Not letting her break free, Ming Siqi hugged her tightly with both hands, "Don't move," his voice was a little rough.
Ah Ke twisted around like he was uncomfortable, "Oh, I told you not to move!" This time, he seemed to be very irritated, "Do you know how uncomfortable it is for me when you twist around like this?"
Ah Ke was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding what he meant.
He said depressedly, "I am holding you but I can't do anything. This is more uncomfortable than killing me directly."
Now she finally understood, her face burned even more, but luckily he couldn't see it in the dark of the cave.
"Then I'll help you."
Ming Siqi was overjoyed and asked excitedly, "You...are you really willing..."
"Kill you for me."
His face suddenly fell, "Forget it, let's just hold her like this."
