The gentleness of nature has an unrivaled temperature that is enough to melt the ice between people.
"Ah~ she is the "lady" after all."
“‘Lady’?”
Ye Lanxin walked forward slowly, taking elegant steps. Old Long waved to her and answered calmly:
"Ye Lanxin, codenamed "Lady", is the only "non-resistance commander" in the organization. Except for us old monsters, as long as they are the operatives under her command, no one will resist or even question her. It is not because of her second lady
identity, but because of her ability. For her men, they only need to obey to win and survive. Since she took over most of the operational command, her father, the leader of Shadow Kill, Ye
Yuan, is already enjoying his old age."
"Has she never lost?"
"I've lost before"
The navy blue trench coat flutters in the wind, stretching out the owner's figure. The black silk outlines time and space, and the shocking S stretches in the night. The elegant lady's red lips are lightly licked, pouring out humble syllables.
"I've lost several times, including yours. I'm sorry."
The charming auspicious phoenix eyes captured the imagination. Ye Lan looked at the young man in front of him apologetically, and his smiles were full of temptation. Among the "secrets" of the Shadow Killing Organization, the beauty of a lady is recognized as the number one.
"Let's climb the mountain first. If we get away from the crowd as soon as possible, it will be easier for us."
Lin Shuwen calmly suppressed his heartbeat. To be fair, Ye Lanxin's beauty was real, but her expression was very false. Lin Shuwen noticed the fine lines at the corners of her eyes, dry hair, slightly swaying body and slight breathing.
, these details all tell the owner’s fatigue, which is like two extremes from the energetic Lan Ruxin.
"Well, it's getting late."
Ye Lan was trying hard to maintain her elegant figure. She no longer knew whether this behavior was caused by family education or habit. When was the last time she stayed up for three nights? Her memory is a bit blurry. The only thing she remembers is that it was not fatal this time.
The long journey. She glanced at the mountain road in front of her, and a feeling of dizziness surged into her heart unconsciously. It was more than 400 meters above sea level and there were old bluestone steps. Ye Lanxin gritted her teeth silently and took the first step.
Dots of lights illuminated the steps, and the group began to move toward the top of the mountain. During the shaking, Ye Lanxin staggered to one side, and her arms subconsciously protected her head, preparing to fall to the ground.
"Lean on me."
The shoulders were tightly hugged, and Lin Shuwen, who had been following behind, quickly stepped forward to protect Ye Lanxin, who was about to fall to the ground, in his arms and stabilize her body. Letting go, the young man held the girl's hand.
, turned his shoulders sideways.
"Has it been planned for a long time?" She said the words in a joking manner, but the girl with slightly red cheeks held the boy's hand tightly.
"Maybe." The young man's face was hidden in the dark night, and he didn't know what to do. The palms of his clenched hands were hot and warm.
"When we go down the mountain, I guess you will have to carry me on your back." Ye Lanxin leaned against Lin Shuwen, holding his arms in her arms to maintain the balance of the body, and the two of them crawled slowly towards their destination.
"As long as you don't give me a knife after coming down the mountain."
"You are my important resource. I will never engage in loss-making business." Ye Lanxin looked at Lin Shuwen's profile and said,
Suddenly asked:
“You know what the strongest relationships are?”
The quiet mountain road, the bright moonlight, and in a trance, Lin Shuwen heard the question of the girl next to him. He wiped the sweat from his temples and stepped on the stone steps.
"Benefit relationship."
The girl grabbed the boy on the steps, and while the black silk was flying, she stood on the same level as him. The girl raised her head and looked at the bright moon in the night sky. Under the sultry moonlight, her pale lips touched lightly up and down.
"To me it's the highest level of trust."
The mountain wind whistled by, and the broad leaves in the mountain stream rustled. The boy and the girl were trapped in time and space, looking at each other speechlessly.
"Hey~ You guys are so slow~ It turns out that even scholars are unreliable."
Lan Ruxin squatted on the platform halfway along the mountain road and shouted at the two of them. Beside her, Lao Long had an aunt-like smile on his face. But at this time, Lin Shuwen suddenly began to look around.
"Do you trust me?" The boy asked the girl after confirming with Zangetsu.
"At present, I have no reason to doubt you." The girl's answer was as flawless as ever.
"Then, can I say, "The moonlight is so beautiful"?" The young man showed a shy smile.
"Okay, but we can't be Natsume Soseki." The girl was about to put on a professional smile.
"You are more beautiful than the moon."
The fake smile froze on her face, a blush crept onto the girl's earlobes, and her stagnant heart began to tremble uncontrollably. And at the moment when the girl was shocked, the boy suddenly hugged her shoulders and jumped to the mountain stream on the side. Howling
The friction of branches and leaves could be heard in her ears. The girl closed her eyes tightly and held on to the boy's clothes tightly, waiting for the pain to come.
"Believe me."
The boy's voice came from above, and the speed of his descent was gradually slowing down. Ye Lanxin squinted and looked up, and as he shook, the boy's neck was stained with lip gloss.
The frightening movement finally stopped, and the girl stood up from the black wings unscathed, looking back blankly in the direction of the fall. The bare mountain wall left a 100-meter-long skid mark, and the shallow branches and leaves obscured the mountain path.
, no one could be seen. After confirming that she was safe, the girl relaxed her body and gasped for air, anger and sadness welling up in her heart.
"Are you okay?"
Lin Shuwen stood up, stroked Can Yue's head, and looked at Ye Lanxin worriedly.
"Snapped!"
Bright red palm prints appeared on Lin Shuwen's face. He took a few steps back, covered his face, and held down Can Yue, who was about to fight back.
"Why!!"
The crying voice pulled Lin Shuwen's gaze forward. The lady in front of him was clutching her chest tightly, her messy hair covering her left eye, and the tears falling from the corners of her eyes shone under the moon, hurting someone's heart. The young man.
Putting down the hand covering her face, she stood up and walked towards Ye Lanxin with her head lowered. Words could no longer convey her calmness. Lin Shuwen knew very well that neither an explanation nor an apology was the answer she wanted. In the messy hair, the girl's eyes were serious.
Staring at the young man, his murderous intent froze in time and space.
The moment he sensed the murderous intention, the shadow behind Lin Shuwen began to rise, and Can Yue instantly opened his wings and closed them forward. Just when the wings were about to close, black eyes stood between Lin Shuwen's eyebrows, and he dispersed Can Yue's anger without hesitation.
Body. The boy shed all his body before the girl’s murderous intention.
Some were defensive and stood in front of her.
"I'm sorry, you have no reason to apologize. I know you just wanted to take me to this destination, and I wasn't hurt in any way. I have no reason to blame you, and no reason to be angry..."
The girl released her clenched teeth, raised the corners of her mouth slightly, elegantly took out a tissue from her pocket, lifted her hair as usual, wiped her red and swollen eyes, and put on a familiar smile on her pale face.
"..."
The young man silently grabbed the girl's hand holding the tissue, looked directly into her eyes, and calmly told her when the wind stopped:
"In my eyes, you are not the lady in the shadow, but Ye Lanxin, who is more beautiful than the moon. And I hurt Ye Lanxin because of my mistake. So..."
Lin Shuwen half-knelt in front of Ye Lanxin, put her hand on top of his head, and begged the princess named Ye Lanxin for punishment.
"I hope that a girl named Ye Lanxin will blame me for making mistakes and vent all her dissatisfaction."
The knight closed his eyes, waiting for the princess's rebuke. It was not a dignified commander called a lady who would not be resisted, but a girl named Ye Lanxin who was suppressed by various burdens and endured all kinds of pain.
.
"I may kill you, I may use all means to ravage you. I am the lady of Shadow Kill, the cruelest commander without resistance!"
The girl wrapped her disguise tightly and used her last bit of strength to cling to the mask. Tears had already flooded her face, the disguise made a tearing sound, and cracks covered the fake-smiling mask.
In the silent mountain stream under the night sky, I heard the sound of tears falling to the ground.
Silver shavings fell, glittering and translucent on the grass. The boy released the girl under the mask and spoke firmly.
"I hope a girl named Ye Lanxin will blame me in this mountain stream where there are no outsiders."
"You self-righteous stinky man!! You self-righteous fools!!!"
Fists fell on the boy's shoulders like raindrops. The girl named Ye Lanxin cried loudly and knelt down on the ground. The mountain wind blew away the fragments of disguise, and the moonlight lovingly embraced the girl who had been suppressed for a long time.
"They are all idiots! Why do you have to fight the enemy by yourself! Why do you have to take charge of the operation alone!! Why don't you consider your own mood! Why don't you rely on me more!! Why why!!!"
Black mist surrounds the shouting and protects the uninhabited time and space.
When time pulled away the bright moon, the girl's cries gradually became hoarse, and the tears she vented quickly consumed her remaining physical strength. The girl fell weakly into the boy's arms, exhaustion surged up like a tide, and darkness enveloped her sight.
She struggled to say the last words.
"Don't die easily. You must..."
Black wings covered Ye Lanxin's body. Lin Shuwen asked Can Yue to take off his coat and covered it with the girl who was holding her clothes tightly in his arms. He slowly moved towards the sliding hillside and adjusted his posture. The boy
He hugged the girl and sat at the bottom of the hillside. After apologizing to Cangyue, Lin Shuwen contacted Lao Long. With the familiar sound of friction, the four of them met at the bottom of the hillside.
