In my memories, I saw a pair of deep eyes, like two deep abysses containing too many inexplicable things, a coldness tempered by experience, an unperturbed surprise, attracting me to explore and understand! But no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t see his face clearly…
“Xu…” I called out Mu Zi Xu’s name, waking from my dream!
But there was no trace of Mu Zi Xu before my eyes, and tears just flowed down without warning…
Searching for Him, Thousand Times Over (4)
“Thank you!” I whispered with my head down, knowing he could hear me!
He reached out a hand from behind and gently stroked my hair, saying nothing!
I turned back in a daze. He slightly raised the corner of his mouth with a warm smile. I discovered for the first time that we could actually get along so harmoniously…
I suddenly had an impulse and looked seriously into his eyes, asking: “Xi Linyan, if I leave one day, will you miss me?”
“I will!”
A flash of light crossed his eyes as he nodded very firmly, his expression solemn as if making a lover’s vow: “I will find you, no matter how far across the earth!”
My heartstrings trembled. I tried to stay calm and turned away. “Hehe, are you saying you haven’t been tormented enough by me?”
He said half seriously, half jokingly: “I want to get back at you. You can repay me with your entire life!”
The carriage raced on. What should have been a short journey became inexplicably long. Even Xi Linyan felt something was wrong and lifted the curtain to look outside.
Hooves scattered, dust flew – clearly not the road to the villa. More bizarrely, the coachman had disappeared at some point. Xi Linyan and I exchanged a glance, suddenly feeling an ominous premonition spreading in our hearts!
Xi Linyan swiftly reined in the horses. The horses reared and neighed before gradually calming down…
We quickly jumped off the carriage and were startled by the scene before us!
The carriage was actually traveling on a narrow mountain path, with a bottomless cliff beside it. One wrong move could send us tumbling to our deaths. What a vicious plan! Fortunately, we discovered it early, or we might have become lonely ghosts in the deep ravine!
I hadn’t expected them to act so quickly. They were truly impatient!
