Journey to the Rose

Everything that's happening right now is so unreal.

It was like a stone fell to the ground, smashing a pit that was neither deep nor shallow.

After looking at each other, the breathing of the two became heavy, as if they had experienced a catastrophe just now.

Lu Zhenghe called him: "Ruan Xi."

Ruan Xi hadn't recovered yet, and said softly, "Say it."

Lu Zhenghe understood that Ruan Xi didn't know how to speak, so he said bluntly, "Is it Wei Hong?"

Ruan Xi was taken aback for a moment, but she simply didn't hide anything, nodded and said, "Yes."

"What did he tell you?" Lu Zhenghe asked.

After a moment of silence, Ruan Xi said: "He told me a lot about you, in Zenith City, in the Northern League... Did you smell it?"

The movements of Lu Zhenghe's hands paused, his eyes darkened, "I didn't smell it, but I probably guessed it."

Ruan Xi looked at him calmly: "How did you guess that?"

"Before I tell you, I feel that you already know that I am the one who married you," Lu Zhenghe replied, "Otherwise, when I tell you, you should raise your hand and slap me."

"..."

Ruan Xi didn't respond, she looked at Lu Zhenghe's side face silently, imagining what it would look like with a clear five-finger print on it, probably a face so handsome that no relatives would recognize it would swell into a pig's head, and it must not be so handsome.

But I really want to do it myself...

But if you do it again, it will become a domestic violence, it's not good.

"Is this why you want to fight with me so much?" Lu Zhenghe asked again.

Ruan Xi said "hmm" and obediently replied, "Half of it."

Ok?

Is there any other reason to be beaten?

In order to save his life, Lu Zhenghe didn't dare to continue asking.

After thinking about it, Ruan Xi decided that she should be brave and not be a cowardly wretch. Being able to forgive deception doesn't mean she can't know the answer.Due to his growth environment and personality, he is not good at contacting people by nature, and he is not a perfect person.

After taking a deep breath, he asked the question: "I'm curious, why are you hiding it from me?"

"Two reasons."

"Which two?"

"First, on the day we met, the disaster came too suddenly. I didn't have the opportunity to reveal my identity at the beginning. You acted so disgusted with the marriage contract. I was afraid that you would not want to leave with me after you knew it. But it was my fault. , you shouldn’t rashly appear where you shouldn’t be.” Lu Zhenghe paused, and continued: “Second…”

He looked into Ruan Xi's eyes and suddenly couldn't speak.

The other party's tone was very light: "Second, what is it?"

"Generally speaking, an omega can only have one alpha. The whole continent knows about our engagement, but I don't have enough ability to guarantee you can live."

Lu Zhenghe said, looking at Ruan Xi into the distance, "You know, this disaster has reorganized everything. You are a free and independent omega, and you have the right to start a new life after it is over. So I want to leave this decision to you who survived the catastrophe."

At the same time, I'm also afraid that you will really become my omega.

He moved his eyes back, bright light waves jumped in each other's eyes, and the cold wind penetrated through the gap of the car window, like a whip on the skin, making the atmosphere tense.

Lu Zhenghe didn't think he was a person who firmly believed in the prophecy, but the feeling Ruan Xi gave him was really extraordinary.The dramatic encounter, the inexplicable attraction, and more and more unspeakable things were all unexpected by him.

"Your brother said that I should be his spouse, saying that you stole his things," Ruan Xi said while shaking her head, "but I don't think that's what he said. I only look at the results, and I'm not the two of you brothers. private collection."

"Then you must give me a chance to show you the result."

Without even thinking about it, Lu Zhenghe could imagine what Wei Hong could say from that dog's mouth.

His elder brother is selfish, violent, and paranoid. He is almost crazy in handling many things. He wants to compete with him for everything. It is something he can imagine to directly block Ruan Xi, but Lu Zhenghe didn't expect it so soon.

Seeing that Lu Zhenghe's mood eased, Ruan Xi said lightly: "He didn't seem to think that I resisted his appearance so much. He was surprised by my personality. Do you know? He shot and sent people to sneak attack, and I even killed Lost him to attack my subordinates."

Hearing this, Lu Zhenghe faintly became angry.

Wei Hong is like this, he will not be caught dead in any matter, but will choose a teasing attitude, constantly testing Lu Zhenghe's red line frantically, knowing that Lu Zhenghe will take the lead and cut off the bond that blood is thicker than water with his own hands.

The other party is betting, betting on who will tear the Wei family's superficially friendly face first.

"It's more of a game for him."

·

They arrived at the center of the city-state after the ice rafting.

The family martial arts competition failed, and he couldn't show his fists in the car. Ruan Xi decided not to settle accounts with him for the time being, and wait until he was in a stable place.

He first wrote down the item "Concealing the fact of my marriage" in his little notebook to remind himself: Did you see it? Alphas are all big trotters!

In addition to this sentence, Ruan Xi had another sentence in his mind: We are finally married.

But before and after marriage—

It shouldn't be too bad for them, right?Escape is the most important thing!Falling in love and living life are secondary.

While thinking wildly, Ruan Xi remembered Wen Kai's reminder of "no more injections of inhibitors", and pinched her fingers to calculate the next estrus/estrus period, and her face suddenly turned red like a tomato.

It's a crime, no wonder Wen Kai said this to Lu Zhenghe carefully that day, it turned out to be because... the whole world knows that we are legal partners, only I don't.

The more Ruan Xi thought about it, the more desperate she became.

What else is true in this world?

tsunami?earthquake?

I felt that I had escaped loneliness by running for my life, and now my husband was close at hand, and if I was going to die, I would die together.

There is also the broken ice under my body, I don't know when it will stop.No matter how far you go, you don't know where you are going.

"We're here?" Ruan Xi saw that he was getting closer to the main ground of the ice city, and quickly took out his binoculars to look around.Very well, Wen Kai and his car arrived early, and they were already rubbing their hands on the shore to keep warm, waving and shouting to them.

Lu Zhenghe nodded, and suddenly grabbed Ruan Xi's arm, "Sit tight!"

In the next second, a loud "bang" was heard nearby, and the whole ice floe carrying the off-road vehicle shook violently, and crashed directly into the ice floe port of the ice city.

There was an ominous premonition welling up in the hearts of the two of them.

They hurriedly got up from their seats and bent over to see what happened at the junction of the two ice floes.

I saw that their big ice floes smashed the ice floes in the port.

It was more than broken, even the only repaired roadway on the port was broken, and it was broken into several pieces of ice floes, swinging unsteadily on the glacier.

Fortunately, there are not many people in the port now, only a few of them were there to welcome them, and now they can't welcome them anymore. They all fell into the icy water and are thumping desperately to swim to the shore.

Lu Zhenghe couldn't help complaining: "...the port of Bingcheng is so weak?"

Ruan Xi patted his forehead: "Let's save people first."

In terms of loyalty, Li Shen really opened Ruan Xi's eyes.

After struggling to swim ashore, Li Shen ran to an undamaged part of the port regardless of his drenching, raised the anchor, threw the side with the anchor onto the ice floe, and waved to Gu Zirong: "Little Gu! Come here!" help!"

"Come on!" Gu Zirong ran over panting, shivering from the cold.

"Strive hard!" Li Shen pulled the long rope together with him, "One, two, three—"

When the ice floes on the Lu Zheng River completely docked, Wen Kai moved in to build a bridge boat for a temporary pontoon bridge.

The small pontoon bridge boat made of steel seemed to be something stronger than the vehicle now, and it successfully carried their large off-road vehicle until it was safely parked on the inbound driveway of Ice City.

Because the ground is wet and slippery, mostly permafrost, all kinds of rocks and soils contain ice, making it inconvenient to drive, so a special driveway was built in the ice city, although there is only one.

Li Shen said that if you want to go out of the city, you can only take the roadway, and from the roadway to the border line leading to the next city.

He rubbed his hands, and was about to get into the pickup truck parked at the front of the roadway. He stood on tiptoes, looked around, and said regretfully, "Oh, I remember that this ice city is still a well-developed city-state anyway. Just run away..."

"You know how to run for your life, so others will know it too!"

Wen Kai threw him a new dress and yawned a long time, "I'm exhausted from rafting on the glacier. When I get a chance, I must take a comfortable bath in the most famous hot spring in the ice city..."

As soon as the "bath bath" was finished, an ice lighthouse by the port that had been locked all the time suddenly lit up.

The door at the bottom of the tower opened, and an old man with a red face stepped out of it.

His skin is snow-white, even his hair is silver-white, and his whole body is radiantly white.He roared some words that no one could understand, and walked forward angrily.

"The people of Bingcheng are really white, and the omega here must also be very white."

As Li Shen said, he bumped Wen Kai's shoulder, "Translate, what is this old man talking about?"

Speechless, how does this person know about omega?

Wen Kai took a half step back nervously, and explained: "He is speaking Bingcheng dialect, saying that foreigners ruined their port..."

Lu Zhenghe was about to step forward to be the scapegoat, but saw the old man light up an extremely bright ice lantern in his hand, and the light instantly illuminated the entire port even brighter.

He looked at these wet young men with strange eyes, and finally cast his suspicious eyes on Wen Kai, and said in broken common language: "Boy, can you understand me?"

"Understandable," Wen Kai nodded repeatedly, "I have learned the language of Bingcheng."

The old man arched his back, his face was old, but he had an astonishing spirit.

He stood still, holding the ice lamp in his hand, looked at the group of people one by one, and pondered: "Where are you from?"

The lights of the ice lamps illuminated everyone's faces.

Ruan Xi feels that if there is a mirror now, her face must be a little distorted. After all, she has never encountered such a friendly stranger along the way, and 90.00% of them would kill someone.

"Ablaze."

"Zenith."

There are two completely different answers.

After listening to their answers, the old man was stunned for a while, and then he said: "I never thought that people from Ablaze City could survive until now. As for... Zenith? Why don't you stay in the safe snowy mountains and come to the Ice City to do it?" What?"

Li Shen bowed slightly, appearing very reliable at a critical moment: "Old man, we have a task ahead of us."

The ice lamp gradually elongated everyone's shadows on the floating ice port.

"The visitor is a guest." The old man nodded hesitantly, turned his hands behind his back, and turned around, "Call me Uncle Six."

Wen Kai's eyes lit up, and he looked at everyone excitedly, but found that no one was paying attention to him, so he focused on the slowly falling snowflakes.

It's snowing in the ice city.

"Uncle Liu," Lu Zhenghe said, "We are very tired all the way here, and I would like to ask if there is any business place in Bingcheng where we can bathe in hot springs. We want to rest."

Only then did they realize that Uncle Liu had walked slowly to a sled.He plucked left and right from the cloth bag behind the sled, took out several pieces of cotton linen cloth wrapped around the feet, rolled them into cotton balls and threw them over.

"Young man, put cotton cloth on your feet so that you can walk freely on the ice." Liu Bo said.

"Okay." They agreed.

Only Ruan Xi stared at this thing and worried.

How to do this?

He squatted down, stepped his feet into the cotton cloth with difficulty, pinched the four corners of the cotton cloth, and rolled it around his ankle.Seeing that he was in a hurry, Lu Zhenghe knew that he couldn't do it well, so after finishing his own, he squatted down and tied the cotton knot for Ruan Xi.

"Hey, hey," Li Shen slammed Wen Kai's arm hard, "Look, the young master has started to seduce us Ruan Xi again."

"Although you are right, but..."

Wen Kai held back the bulging veins on his temples, and whispered, "Please don't bend your elbows out."

"Too serious, what do you mean by turning your elbows outward?" After Li Shen finished speaking, he raised his arm to study for a while, and muttered: "Isn't my elbow just turning outward?"

"Report! Get in the car, please!"

Gu Zirong cried out in surprise, "Uncle Liu said to take us to his place, where there is a hot spring!"

·

Gu Zirong was right.

Liubo's residence does have a hot spring, and the residence is so big that it looks like a professional leisure and entertainment place.

According to Ruan Xi's observation, the houses in the entire ice city are made of ice, which is very stable to a certain extent, and is crystal clear, which is very ornamental.He also found that there were indeed not many people left in Bingcheng, and most of them were elderly people with silver hair.

The living room of the hot spring house is also made of ice. On the wall are the signatures of various people who came to this hot spring, written with pens of various colors.Looking at these, Ruan Xi couldn't help but think, how many of these people are left now, and whether they have all gone far away.

Uncle Liu found six pairs of men's swimming trunks.

Since there are not only differences between men and women, but also between sexes, Liu Bo found two wide hot spring pools and asked them if they needed to bathe separately.

"We don't need it, the three of us are alphas, we can be together," Li Shen pointed to Lu Zhenghe and Wen Kai, but Wen Kai pinched the back of his hand violently, and screamed in fright: "What are you pinching me for!"

Wen Kai turned his head to look at the snow falling outside the window, feeling a headache: "..."

"I'm beta." Gu Zirong raised his hand, "but I can be with alpha."

"I'm an omega...but I don't count now, I don't have glands. I can be with everyone." Song Shumian seemed a little embarrassed compared to the generosity of the previous few.

"Oh, it's okay." Uncle Liu's vigilance relaxed, his tone softened a lot, "I can see that you used to be an omega."

Wen Kai nodded, feeling that there is no need to put unnecessary pressure on Song Shumian, and try to treat him as the same person, "Then let's go together?"

At this time, Uncle Liu noticed Ruan Xi and Lu Zhenghe who were always standing as a pair on the other side.

He had an intuition that there was something a little different between the two young men.Judging from his demeanor and way of getting along, Uncle Liu stroked his chin and said, "If I'm not mistaken, this should be your leader?"

"Yes." Lu Zhenghe nodded.

"Those two are..." Uncle Liu narrowed his eyes, and wrinkles appeared on his face.

"We are already married," Lu Zhenghe gently took Ruan Xi's hand, showing his fingers, "It can be arranged separately."

As soon as the words fell, soon, the other four pairs of eyes cast curious gazes.

What Li Shen and Wen Kai want to express is——

The young master is awesome!He has surrendered himself!

It should be surrendered, not being exposed, if it is because of me that I have exposed my feet, I will not be trained to death when I return to the alliance army... Wow... Don't...

Gu Zirong said: Wow, this day has finally come.

Song Shumian: Huh? ? ?when?

Ruan Xi discovered that the shock in Song Shumian's eyes was indeed ten times greater than that of the other three.After calming down, Ruan Xi answered him with his eyes: Well, yes.We got married.

Song Shumian took a step back, hid behind Gu Zirong and mouth-shaped: What about your husband?

ha?husband?

What my husband?

Song Shumian made another expression of wiping his neck.As if telling him: God will punish you.

"..."

Ruan Xi felt a headache and decided to explain to Song Shumian later.

Now, he really thinks that there is no need to draw the gender boundary so clearly, so he tried to change Lu Zhenghe's petty thinking, "Why don't we all work together?"

Lu Zhenghe emphasized: "Alone."

Ruan Xi: "No need."

Lu Zhenghe said again: "Let's be alone."

Ruan Xi: "..."

Feeling Ruan Xi's displeasure, Lu Zhenghe grasped his hand a little tighter, after thinking about it, he still reluctantly compromised: "If you want, then let's go together?"

"Let's go together, I don't want to be special." Ruan Xi replied.

Lu Zhenghe lowered his head slightly, leaned against Ruan Xi's ear, and whispered: "Remember to take off your jewelry, otherwise it will be vulcanized into black."

Ruan Xi didn't react: "I don't have jewelry on me."

"I mean..." Lu Zhenghe paused, unexpectedly shy, "If there is any."

If there is?

Oh, wedding rings.

Ruan Xi remembered that thing and looked down at her fingers.Maybe it was because of a tacit understanding, the silver diamond-encrusted gadget was shining brightly under his gaze.

"Then go and change your clothes first, here is some food." Uncle Liu put the tray on the table, greeted him and left the living room.

As soon as he left, everyone took their swimming trunks and prepared to go into the locker room to change.

"Hey, do you know why he is called Liu Bo?" Wen Kai was mysterious.

Li Shen took a sip of the hot tea, snorted so refreshed, and said disgustedly: "You don't even know about this? Because he is the sixth child in the family."

"..."

Wen Kai was silent, and wanted to pour all the leftover tea into his nostrils, "If that's the case, why the fuck should I ask you?"

Li Shen covered his face: "You are so fierce..."

"Why is that?" Song Shumian's eyes widened, feeling that Wen Kai knew everything.

"Because the number six is ​​the most yin number, six is ​​included in the name of the guardian of Ice City," Wen Kai said, "Let me tell you quietly, according to legend, if you meet a guardian in Ice City and accept you, you will be guaranteed to be in Ice City." Won't……"

"I won't be hungry." Li Shen answered and ate a roasted wing.

Wen Kainiao didn't want to bully him, nor did he want to spoil the great secret atmosphere, so he whispered: "There will be no danger."

Glacier 38 "Did we meet or reunite?"
