When Huo Changze came over, Shen Jiao was still asleep. The weather was getting colder and colder, and she had just recovered from a serious illness, so there was a full charcoal fire in the house to keep it warm.
Bi Tao watched her take a nap and woke up immediately when she heard the sound of Huo Changze pushing the door open.
Once Huo Changze comes, there will be nothing more to do with her here. Bitao came back to her senses and saluted him, glanced at Shen Jiao worriedly, and then quietly left the room.
Shen Jiao was sleeping hugging the quilt with her cheek pressed against a corner of the quilt. A few strands of hair fell on the tip of her nose, revealing an unsuspecting softness.
Huo Changze looked at her and suddenly thought of the cats raised by his aunt in the house.
Those cats are also very valuable, and their favorite thing to do is to lie in the sun. They also fall asleep like this, unconsciously spreading their limbs and exposing their soft bellies.
Huo Changze sat by the bed and watched for a while, then took off his shoes and coat and got into bed. The quilt was extremely warm and filled with a faint fragrance, wrapping Shen Jiao's body, which was only wearing a thin piece of clothing.
Huo Changze reached out and hugged her into his arms. Her whole body was soft, and she felt soft and warm in his arms. Huo Changze couldn't help but hug her tighter, smelling the warm scent of her body, and his heart suddenly calmed down.
Shen Jiao's collar opened slightly during the movement.
Huo Changze lowered his eyes and saw the marks on her neck that had not been completely removed. He seemed to be able to glimpse the shadow of the madness that night through the traces.
Mixed with sweat, tears, gasping and moaning. Painful, joyful... they were all things he would never forget.
He didn't regret doing that. Only in this way would he remember her forever and never think about escaping again.
…
It would be a lie to say that I am not heartbroken.
Huo Changze stared at Shen Jiao and suddenly thought, what would have happened to them if Shen Jiao had not escaped with Qi Yu? Will everything be different?
Huo Changze lowered his head and touched Shen Jiao's lips. However, she was still asleep, unaware of his pain, love, and all of this.
It's like he's been away from this world and has no feelings for anything. Staring at him coldly, watching him sink into the mire. And one day she will turn into a wisp of smoke, slip through his fingers, and disappear completely from this world.
Huo Changze suddenly felt a bit of uncontrollable ferocity in his heart, and the kiss suddenly became passionate and fierce.
The man's tongue was strong and powerful, trying to squeeze into her mouth. Shen Jiao was in pain and screamed in an indistinct voice. She opened her mouth slightly and the tongue penetrated.
Shen Jiao was kissed so hard that she couldn't breathe. She moaned a few times. She opened her eyes in a daze and looked sleepily at Huo Changze who had appeared at an unknown time.
Her eyes were ignorant and pure, like glass balls without any impurities. Huo Changze lowered his eyes and looked at her, and the anxiety in his heart was silently smoothed away.
That’s all.
After all, she is still by his side.
Huo Changze didn't bother her anymore, but patted her back and coaxed her to sleep. Shen Jiao was not awake yet, so she quickly fell asleep again.
…
At dawn, Shen Jiao woke up in a daze. When she opened her eyes, she saw an angular face. Her mind went blank for a moment, thinking she was still in a dream.
Shen Jiao stared at Huo Changze, and the arm on her waist suddenly tightened, and she fell on his chest again.
Huo Changze reached out and put his hand on the back of her head, caressing her gently, and said in a low and magnetic voice, "Be good, sleep a little longer."
Shen Jiao was no longer sleepy. Now that she had recovered from her illness, her mind was much clearer, and she remembered all those things.
She pushed Huo Changze away and sat up suddenly, "Why are you here?"
Huo Changze squinted at Shen Jiao and said, "Why can't I be here?"
Shen Jiao was silent.
Huo Changze looked at her aggrieved look and said, "You are in good health. Don't go out in the past few days. Be careful of the cold wind and the cold."
"I'll take you wherever you want to go then, okay?"
Huo Changze spoke in a friendly tone, as if nothing had happened between them.
Shen Jiao's eyes suddenly turned red and she looked up at Huo Changze, "Then can you take me to see A Yu?"
Huo Changze paused and looked at her with deep eyes, "Do you care about him that much?"
Shen Jiao said softly: "I just want to know how A Yu is doing now."
She came closer, knelt on the bed and lowered her head to beg him, "Huo Changze...can you let me go and see him? I will be obedient from now on...and I won't run away again..."
Huo Changze took a deep breath. He really didn't want to talk to Shen Jiao about topics that made him unhappy during this tender moment. "We'll talk about it after you recover."
Still have to wait...
She can still wait, but Qi Yu can't wait any longer. She has never seen Qi Yu, and the man treated her like this after she was captured. Then Qi Yu... Shen Jiao was very scared, afraid that she would implicate him.
Shen Jiao had no choice but to sob and beg Huo Changze, "Please... don't kill him... A'yu was injured because of me, I can't ignore him."
Huo Changze's eyes became colder and colder as he listened to Shen Jiao's words.
What about him! Can Shen Jiao abandon him at will? Is Qi Yu that important to her? Every time she begged him in a low voice, it was because of that Qi Yu!
Huo Changze suddenly felt that he was like a roadblock hindering them, unnecessary and an eyesore.
Huo Changze closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he regained his composure.
"Okay." Huo Changze heard himself say, "I'll take you there in a few days."
Shen Jiao looked at him with red eyes, her dark eyelashes trembling, and she said in disbelief: "Is it true..."
Huo Changze hummed, opened his arms to her, and said, "Come here."
It took a lot of effort for Huo Changze to agree to her going to see Qi Yu. Of course, Shen Jiao, who was in charge, would not refuse any of his requests and lay obediently in Huo Changze's arms.
She was like a kitten that had been soaked by the wind and rain outside and finally nestled into the warm haven of its owner.
