All the ships were heading towards Jiangbei at a rapid speed at this moment.
I stood at the bow of the boat and looked at the scene in front of me, feeling chilling suddenly, and my hands were holding the fence and feeling a little unsteady. After a while, the boat had already sailed a long way out and was about to reach the center of the river, but at this moment, the river suddenly began to fog.
The fog came very quickly, and soon it was like layers of veil, and it quickly surrounded us. The fog became heavier and louder, and gradually, even the shadows of the adjacent ships became blurred.
When I looked back, Jinling City also became blurred.
The fires that soared into the sky and the thick smoke were no longer visible, leaving only the fog that was surging in front of me.
At this time, Xie Feng, who had been standing next to him, walked up and said to Pei Yuanxiu: "Young Master, there is suddenly such a big fog on the river, we may have to be careful."
Pei Yuanxiu looked back at him.
Just now, when he held me, his palms were hot and his breathing was rapid, but when he looked at me, it was so cold that it could almost condense into frost. All the passion and passion cooled down at this moment, and the rest was calm.
He said, "I know."
As soon as the words were finished, the people at the helm began to shout: "Look!"
“There is a boat ahead!”
"careful!"
When I heard this, I quickly turned my head and looked forward, and saw some tall things gradually appearing in the hazy mist. In the mist, the outline of the mountain slowly appeared. After careful identification, I found that it was all ships, and there were torches and lanterns on the ship. The light and shadow shone through the thick mist, setting the river surface like a ghostly illusion!
Those are-
Xie Feng narrowed his eyes slightly and looked forward. After only a moment, he said, "It's Jiangbei's fleet!"
“…”
"They knew we were here and came to meet us."
Speaking of this, he raised his head and looked at Pei Yuanxiu: "Young Master, please--"
Before he finished speaking, Pei Yuanxiu reached over and grabbed my wrist. I was shocked and looked back at him. He had no choice but to take my hand and start walking into the cabin without saying a word.
I was caught off guard and staggered for two steps, but I was about to walk into the cabin door, and I was anxious.
"What are you going to do?"
“…”
"Let me go!"
“…”
"Pei Yuanxiu, please let me go!"
I almost started to struggle, and he looked at me and said in a deep voice: "There will be danger here."
Compared to my panic, his voice was as steady as his hand holding my wrist. However, when he looked at me, more and more lights appeared in the surrounding fog, as if something was about to be ignited.
My heart trembled slightly, and he no longer had any reservations. The hand holding my wrist suddenly exerted force. No matter how I persisted or struggled, he was dragged into the cabin.
There were many torches erected on both sides of the long corridor. He took me all the way, as if the cold air on my body was constantly emanating, causing the flames of the torches on both sides to sway. I looked at his face, and was reflected by the flames, and it became darker, darker, and darker, as if his dark and unobstructed state of mind at this moment, as if the situation outside was unknown.
Finally, he dragged me to the deepest cabin, opened the door and pulled me in.
I turned around and saw him standing at the door, and I was about to rush out in a hurry, but he held his hand heavily on the door frame, stopped me, and lowered his head and said, "What do you want me to do?"
“…”
"Is it right? I'm not doing anything right?"
I looked at his dark eyes and bit my lower lip: "What you want to do has nothing to do with me."
“…”
"I can't stop you, it's because I'm useless. Now, I just want to leave here and leave you!"
"You can do anything!"
He suddenly said, his eyes dark and dark: "Even if it's stopping me."
“…”
"But I won't let you leave me."
“…”
"You can't go anywhere!"
All the ties and lingerings of the past have taken off their gentle coat at this moment. Even if his breath is hot and his breath is long, it cannot hide the fact that the cabin without a single window is almost like a cage. And when he stood in front of me, he was like an iron lock, trying to completely cut off any chance I might leave.
I suddenly smiled: "You are finally going to lock me up, are you?"
“…”
"Same as Pei Yuanhao back then?"
“…”
"Build a cage and lock me up. As long as I am still alive and as long as I am still under your control, it will be fine, right?"
“…”
"Pei Yuanxiu, who said that whenever I said no, you will stop."
“…”
He looked at me deeply, as if I was speechless by my question. In a long silence, I could almost hear myself and his heartbeat intertwined and struggled, and finally heard his heavy voice, with a strange hoarse voice-
"I've always been myself."
“…!”
My heart suddenly jumped, and I looked up at his dark pupils, and suddenly felt a stinging pain in my chest.
Of course I understand what he means.
He has always understood what he looks like in my mind. Although he has never been like that, in order to keep that impression and not to destroy the shadow of the exiled man in my heart, he has always played a role as a self who has never been himself.
He locked himself up for so many years.
I understand so much how difficult it is for a person to suppress his original heart. Although it is calm on the surface, the inner heart, like a tiger, is roaring and struggling all the time, hitting the cage.
It wants to come out, want to be presumptuous, want to run, want to tell everyone that this is the real self.
But, for so many years...
He had been locked up for so many years, and finally at this moment, he had to completely break free from the cage and liberate himself.
My nose felt sore, and at this moment I could no longer look directly at the dark eyes. I could only lower my head and suppress the pain that kept surging in my heart. He even took a step forward and looked down at me: "Little, everything is good, anything is fine, as long as you stay by my side."
I gritted my teeth and choked, "It doesn't matter if I hate you?"
As soon as this sentence came out, I felt the breath above my head suffocate.
After a while, I heard his somewhat numb voice-
Chapter completed!
