Chapter 91: Don’t Be Afraid!
Translator: Storm in a Teacup
All of a sudden, An Rushuang felt an extremely strange bump, accompanied with a slight smell of blood and freezing coldness, which she found familiar.
Knitting her eyebrows, An Ruhshuang struggled to open her eyes against the cold wind. With the moon light, she found herself on the horseback, but she couldn’t see who was riding the horse. Definitely, the man was not a good guy. An Rushuang felt she was going to fell from the horse.
As the horse ran, An Rushuang fell down a little and she couldn’t help screaming.
“Ah!!!”
She was so panicked that she tightly held a cloth. This was exactly what she said before. When one was forced to the edge, they would hold everything they could grab by instinct and would not let it go.
“Oh! Let it go!”
The man hummed and held back his painful groan.
“Who are you? Why did you steal White Shuang?” Saying so, An Rushuang became tearful due to the strong sand wind, but she was still questioning the man...
At the same time, she tightly clenched the man’s clothes, with legs wrapping one of the man’s legs as if he was her saviour. Closing her eyes, An Rushuang struggled to climb up.
Now the man couldn’t even draw rein.
Meng Li stiffened his body and looked at the girl holding him tight. Meng Li was shocked to see her at this time. He was riding fast when the woman suddenly lay on the horse’s back, not to mention the strange way she appeared today, what was she thinking about?
How made her think he stole White Shuang?
And, what does White Shuang have to do with her?
He sighed and explained, “Don’t move. It’s me.”
What? An Rushuang was stunned and suddenly she felt her head was so hot and was going to explode. She was stiffened in great shock and not a single finger of hers could move now.
Against the blowing wind, An Rushuang still couldn’t open her eyes. Tears dropped down form her face. How miserable!
Then, she heard General Yun’s voice, “Please let your hands go and I’ll draw rein.”
Closing her eyes, An Rushuang tilted her head, and then she felt the man’s arm slightly moving. White Shuang was still running. Suddenly, An Rushuang felt she was in a cold sweat. If she let her hands go, she would fall down.
If she had broken her arm or leg, would it affect what she was like in the capital...
The low voice of Yun Ran rang in the ear again, “Let your hands go, don’t be afraid, I will catch you.”
Oh...
Hearing this, An Rushuang somehow felt calm and tried to let her hands go with her trembling fingers, but the second she felt the bump, she panicked to hold him again!
Probably when people cannot see, their hearing and feeling can become very sensitive. It was so cold, but her palms were sweating. Amid the blowing wind, her tearful face was almost on the edge of being frozen.
“You won’t fell down. Trust me!” Yun Ran said slowly.
Yun Ran’s voice was not gentle and he didn’t talk much. Every time he talked, his words were very sharp. The word An Rushuang heard most was “Kill”.
But it was when she was a horse. She couldn’t see his face but only hear his words. So she was more familiar with his harsh voice.
An Rushuang said she would not give up even if there was only the slightest hope, but now she took a deep breath and said in panic, “Ok.”
Then she let her hands go.
Without the support of hands, An Rushuang was suddenly thrown backward. Cold air rushed into her throat. She tried to open her eyes, but against the wind and strong sand, she could do nothing but to shed tears. Only a blur of black was in the front of her eyes.
Then, with a horse’s neighing, An Rushuang fell into his strong arms.
A soft laugh sounded overhead, and An Rushuang could feel his firm chest quivering, “Scared to tears?”
Hearing this, An Rushuang couldn’t help feeling embarrassed. How could he take pleasure in other people’s misfortune?
“No, it’s because of the sand. Otherwise I would recognize you, Major General.” Saying so, An Rushuang was about to rub her eyes when a large hand caught her and stopped her move.
“Don’t rub your eyes. It will hurt your eyes,” Yun Ran said in a low voice, “Let me help you.”
The voice pressed against her earlobe. An Rushuang couldn’t help clenching her teeth and scolding him in the heart, but now she could not see anything, so she did not even know where to stare.
Meng Li looked at her. The little girl’s face was with some pride. She was always stuffy and would seldom show her childish look, which was somehow interesting.
Meng Li took her soft and fair hand. Looking down, he found his big palm was full of cocoons as he had been practicing sword and spear since he was a child. Meng Li even felt his hand was senseless.
However, when he held An Rushuang’s hand, the softness made him stiffened. Perhaps this was the feeling of having a wife?
Someone had told him that he should have had a wife.
But he never took it seriously. The work he did was so dangerous that even he could not master his own life, how could he let an innocent and strange woman suffer all these with him?
But at this time, Meng Li thought if she was his wife, he could protect her.
They walked several steps before Meng Li said hoarsely, “Let’s sit here...”
This was a small sand dune, just right for resting feet.
An Rushuang could not see anything. Tears streamed down her face as soon as she opened her eyes, and she could only feel her way down, trembling.
Then a pair of big rough hands reached her cheek, and she could feel the temperature of his fingertips, which were warm, unlike her coldness.
An Rushuang gasped and subconsciously moved back, trying to avoid touching the man’s hand, but she didn’t realised they were sitting on the sand dune. As she moved back, her body lost control and rolled down with a cry of shock.
Under the bright moonlight, a girl sitting on the sand dune screamed while rolling down. The man sitting beside her acted quickly to hold her without thinking. Then they hugged together rolling downwards.
With white light shedding on them, it was as beautiful as a painting.
The heart was pounding.
Their hearts beat with striking thumps.
An Rushuang was held tightly by Yun Ran. He held her so tightly as if he wanted to hug her into his bones. An Rushuang even felt a bit painful. But she didn’t say that because An Rushuang felt warm and secure by his hug, which should be cherished.
An Rushuang was so slim that Yun Ran felt she would disappear at any time. Feeling nervous, Yun Ran was even not willing to let her go.
In tacit agreement, neither of them spoke, but then suddenly there was a neighing sound in the distance, followed by the neighing of horse one after another. A voice was then heard, “General?! General?!”
