Looking at him with the sincere and pious eyes of a believer entering Christianity, she was looking forward to his answer.
There was no answer, Nan Muli remained silent.
The deep eyes were as inscrutable as the vast night sky, making it impossible to see any sadness, joy or anger. This made Xia Baoer more and more restless, for fear of irritating him.
After waiting for a long time, his low and cold voice finally sounded: "Is the condition you pay for a lifetime?"
Accompanying the master and mother? That must last a lifetime, because she is the only one they can rely on.
The person who heard him just understood what he said, so he nodded without thinking about it, "Yeah, of course, for the rest of my life."
"A lifetime..." After prolonging the ending, Nan Muli casually twirled the hair around her cheek and played with it. His eyes were as sharp as a torch and he stared at her sharply: "Little one, do you know what the concept of a lifetime is?
"
Well, doesn't a life last forever, until the day you die? What's not to understand?
She wanted to reply immediately, but when she caught a glimpse of his profound expression, as if he was discussing an important matter in life, she suddenly shut up and couldn't help but become serious. "Of course I know, is there any problem?"
He didn't speak, but smiled meaningfully and said, "Okay, since you know everything, then you will have my presence in your future life. You know it well, right?"
"Oh haha, of course I know this..." She could only smile innocently and nodded.
Her soft hair had already wrapped around his fingers and was slowly falling apart. It looked like they were disconnected but not tightly entwined.
"My hair hurts because you played with it."
"Don't you regret trading your future life?" He ignored her scolding, but his long fingers had already gently combed her messed up silk hair.
"Well, I never thought about it." She muttered dissatisfiedly. She didn't look at him and tossed her hair. It was messed up by him, and he scratched her face, which was very uncomfortable.
"You didn't answer me seriously."
He asked so seriously that she hesitated in her answer. But maybe this was in exchange for her freedom to go home, and she had to take a gamble no matter what she said.
Anyway, after leaving here, she flew away and went back to her hometown to be with her master and mother. Hum, she was afraid that he would find her!
Thinking like this, she hugged his arm with confidence, raised her head and smiled innocently, "I don't regret it, because I want to give you happiness, so that you will never be alone in the future."
"Give me happiness and companionship..." Repeating her words, Nan Muli's expression became complicated, as if this life was too far away from him and had been strange for too long.
Since he was thrown into the devil's den that year, he has never thought about his future life. Meeting her was an unexpected appearance, which unknowingly filled the emptiness in his life.
Staring at the beautiful little mouth that easily spit out the emptiness that he had never dared to think about, he slightly raised an arc of unknown meaning.
He smiled at the corner of his mouth and gently traced the shape of the small four-leaf clover in his palm with his fingers. He murmured in a low voice: "The kind of life you mentioned is beyond imagination and touch. You go back to your place and live your life.
Maybe I'm just an accident on your journey." The condition was very exciting, but he wouldn't take the risk.
Unbeknownst to him, she cared about too many things. As long as her heart was filled with them, where would she put him?
The reality is cruel, and he understands it even without telling him.
By then, he who didn't have any good impression on her was just her passer-by, someone she wished she could stay away from completely——
Xia Baoer was stunned. She didn't know if she heard it wrong or why he felt his words were a bit bitter.
Shaking her head and throwing away such thoughts, she smiled with neat white teeth and took the initiative to rub his cool cheek, showing her sincerity like a cat acting coquettishly towards its owner: "Don't worry, such a thing is not allowed.
It will appear. Please believe that you will not be just a passer-by in my life, I will always want to be by your side."
He remained silent and did not answer.
Grabbing the jade from his palm, she raised her white and tender hands. The soft white color of the four-leaf clover faintly glowed like a hazy dream under the flames, as if it was the radiance of hope and happiness that people can only encounter but cannot seek.
"Did you see that each leaf is heart-shaped? Several heart-shaped leaves are put together, and the circle in the middle is the sun. The warm sun is complete only if you and I are there. Do you know what this is called?"
Nan Muli frowned slightly and shook his head to express confusion.
"Okay, let me tell you. This is called the happiness spell. Only with dedication can there be hope, and with love can there be happiness. I gave my heart to you. If it is not complete, then I will not be happy, right!"
With her black eyes as bright as glass open and enduring the dizziness and discomfort coming from her head, Xia Baoer tried hard to persuade him to let her leave.
After looking at her for a long time without replying, Nan Muli put the red rope around his neck, solemnly as if he were holding some important ceremony in life. Zhu Yu pressed her skin close to her, as if he could feel her warmth.
Her heart seemed to become full and warm with everything poured into her.
His sharp and frightening eyes reflected the shadow of the flames, and he stared at her: "If this is true, then I accept your deal. Please, don't deceive me."
After receiving his answer, Xia Baoer breathed a sigh of relief, couldn't help but feel happy, and the corners of his beautiful lips raised happily.
She didn't expect that her random words could convince him. Does that mean that she will soon be able to leave this island and move towards a life where she can breathe freely?
It's great to go home!
"If I find out that your promise was just to lie to me because you wanted to go back, you will pay a heavy price for it!" Those frightening cold eyes sent a threatening message in her happy and sweet smile!
A sudden chill ran down his spine, and he felt a cold attack on his body. Xia Baoer's face trembled inexplicably, and the bright smile on his lips became stiff and unnatural.
"How could I lie to you? You also know it. How dare an ordinary person like me with no background dare to go against you! I don't want to seek death yet."
"It's best that you really think so." Seeing the innocent smile on her lips that was pretending to be calm, Nan Muli's eyes were cold and dark.
He raised the man on his legs so that his eyes were facing each other, leaving no room for escape.
"Mr. Li...Li?" Xia Baoer was a little scared and called his name softly.
He ignored her and pressed his forehead against hers, his straight nose touching her, and his cool breath blended with her nervous temperature.
Thin cold lips placed a kiss on hers, and a low and hoarse voice lingered between their lips and teeth, "I will set you free and wait for you to exchange for a lifetime. Remember, don't lie to me!"
The serious look frightened her, and she seemed to regret it...
If, if he really knew the truth, would he really kill her and destroy everything related to her?
