The scorching sun was like fire, as if it wanted to dry every drop of water in her body. Her injuries had yet to heal and she had not slept for the entire night. She had only been holding on with one breath the entire time and was already at the end of her rope. Her vision turned black.
She bit the tip of her tongue hard, letting the strong smell of blood from her wound help her stay awake. "Your Highness! I don't know what you mean by what you said, and I don't understand what you mean by 'in the past'. I only wanted to save my mother, so whether it's Mr Xiahou … or Your Highness, I don't have the time or energy to care about them. Your Highness, please be magnanimous and let me … Mmph! "
Before she could finish, Xiao Yunyi pressed her hands above her head. "What if I don't?"
His hot breath stuck to her cheeks, his gaze seeming to want to swallow her whole. "Do you think I'm still the same as before, easily bewitched by your endless excuses? Shu 'er, you're right about something. You're not who you were in the past, and I'm not who I was in the past either. Today, the scenery on this clock tower is very good. I want you to remember one thing: You're mine. "
Ning Shu gritted her teeth, purposely biting her lips until they were full of blood. "Your Highness, I'm a human, I'm definitely not someone's possession! I'm begging you for the last time, let me down. Don't make me hate you. "
She thought that seeing those dampening blood and wounds would make Xiao Yunyi return in disappointment, but she did not expect that it would arouse the evil in him instead. He grabbed her wrists with one hand and wiped away the blood on her lips with the other. "Even if you hate me and hate me, it's okay. I don't care. I just want you to be by my side every day and every moment like when we were young. If you don't have a heart, then you can be a human too. As long as it's you. "
Humility and cruelty contradicted each other and he turned his head, aiming for her soft lips.
"!!!" Ning Shu's eyes were tightly shut as transparent droplets of tears fell from the corners of her eyes.
Just as her lips were about to be snatched by him, a golden bead flew through the air, aiming at his eyes. Xiao Yunyi immediately turned his head to avoid that golden bead, and then a dozen thin golden leaves reflecting a glaring light flew over, forcing Xiao Yunyi to let go of Ning Shu and retreat in a panic.
Ning Shu slid down to sit on the floor. The tight thread in her brain snapped with a buzzing sound and was completely swallowed by the darkness.
Xiao Yunyi took more than ten steps back before he managed to avoid the hidden weapons. Behind his ears, the golden leaves flew into the wooden pillar behind him, disappearing without a trace. Only the bronze bell was still humming faintly from the aftershock.
Xiao Yunyi narrowed his eyes and looked down the bell tower. He saw a figure standing quickly and steadily on the whirlpool-like steps. He lifted the corner of his sky-blue robe and walked up the steps step by step. A black silk cloth fluttered behind him and his steps were unexpectedly light.
Surprise flashed in Xiao Yunyi's eyes. In a short time, he had adjusted his loss of control and gaffe just now and buried it in his heart. A cold smile appeared on his lips. "I just heard the bad news that the Prince's Mansion was attacked by thieves one after another this morning and was very worried. I was thinking of going to the Prince's Mansion to visit the Prince personally after this case was over, but I didn't expect to meet you here. It's really fate. However, seeing that the Prince is still handsome and his expression is normal, I'm sure the thieves did not hurt the Prince at all last night. Yunyi's heart is at ease. "
