twilight passion

The slight heat from the touch of his palm made Edward, who was immersed in the relief and relaxation brought by that power, open his eyes like an electric shock, only to see a pair of fascinating blue eyes approaching.There was no complex emotion in those eyes that made him irritated, and beside him... there was no noisy heartbeat, only silence.

After staring at those eyes that seemed to suck his mind into them for a long time, Edward finally realized how impolite his unconscious action was, so he let go suddenly.

"No, I'm very sorry! I...I..."

"No, it's nothing." Samuel shook his head, not seeming to care.He turned his head and picked up his schoolbag, "You look much better now. So, don't you mind if I leave first? I've already skipped a class, and if I skip another class, I'm afraid there will be trouble."

After finishing speaking, Samuel nodded slightly to Edward with a hint of a smile, turned and left regardless of Edward's reaction.Left behind was Edward who was distracted by this series of changes, and then thought silently, only the occasional breeze reminded the slow passage of time...

As it turns out, the rain, the humidity, really loves this small town of Forks on the Olympic Peninsula in northwestern Washington state.Otherwise, why do you keep saying 'This tiny little town gets more rain than anywhere in America'?

So, when school was over that day, Samuel, who had only been here for less than a week and was seriously unaccustomed to the water and soil, was very helpless to find that...heavy rain had come to this beloved town again.After hesitating for a moment, Samuel took a deep breath and ran towards his motorcycle in the rain.

This heavy-duty motorcycle with excellent performance in all aspects looks extraordinarily dazzling alone in the heavy rain that can almost blur the vision.Samuel, who was almost drenched by the rainstorm, didn't care. He took out the key and squatted down to unlock his motorcycle. However, at this moment, he felt... the aggressive rainstorm alone He stopped just above his head.

Turning around suspiciously, he saw that Edward Cullen...too special being was holding a black umbrella at this moment, shielding him from the torrential rain.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Edward looked at Samuel with golden eyes, opened his perfectly lined lips, and said to Samuel with his voice that seemed to be able to conquer people's hearts.With a gentleness that can make the corners of the eyes moist.

"Take my car and I'll take you home."

Edward held out his hand to Samuel.A moment of absent-mindedness made Samuel put his hand on Edward's cool palm.The latter pulled him up effortlessly.Realizing this, Samuel opened his mouth, then turned his head to look at the motorcycle behind him.

"Maybe you can leave it in the school awning and ride it away when you come over tomorrow."

"But I'll get your car seat wet. Besides, it's okay to rain..."

Before Samuel had a chance to finish speaking, Edward had already handed over the umbrella to him, and he himself pushed Samuel's motorcycle and walked towards the awning.Seeing this situation, Samuel immediately put the umbrella on top of Edward, in exchange for a gentlemanly "thank you" from the other party.

In the end, Samuel sat in Edward's silver Volvo amidst the torrential rain.

He didn't know how and where Edward appeared at that time.Because when he saw Edward, his clothes were still dry, not even a drop of rain.And now, Edward, who helped him push the motorcycle to the canopy in this heavy rain, couldn't feel dry anymore.

Therefore, when he smiled childishly and said to Samuel: "Look, I'm getting wet now too. So don't worry about it so much, it's also a chance for me to say thank you to you." At that time, Samuel could no longer find a reason to refuse.

It was a strange feeling.In front of him, he could only see the back of the boy... There was a magic in him that Samuel couldn't refuse.Just seeing him for the first time made Samuel feel so special.At the beginning, Samuel thought it was because... the identity of the other party aroused his curiosity.It's like when he met those powerful spirit bodies.But later he discovered... Among the three people who walked together, he seemed to only remember Edward's appearance and Edward's breath...

Due to their physique, Samuel and his sister Emma often attract many powerful spirits.It's just... because Emma has a very strong... affinity for spirits, most of the people attracted to her are kind, gentle, harmless and weak spirits.Even if it is a relatively powerful spirit, it will generally not have any thoughts of harming her.

Samuel is quite different on this point.His power is already too strong in the world of spirit bodies, and it also has a faint aggressiveness.Therefore, evil spirits and evil spirits are often attracted.

Of course, even if these two are powerful enough to affect reality, they are vulnerable to Samuel.And among the vicious people, there are also some highly intelligent and intelligent business spirits with relatively high cultivation bases.When they met Samuel, it was a disaster.A disaster for Samuel to enjoy...

And Edward, the non-human and non-spiritual existence... is more than enough to attract Samuel's attention.But during these years of working with all kinds of spirits, he fully understood... As long as it is a spirit that stays at the spiritual level and is strong, he can handle it no matter what.But if it can affect the real world, or even exist in the real world... then it is enough to pose a threat to him.

Therefore, Edward in front of him...he should have stayed away from him, even though he could clearly feel that Edward had no ill intentions towards him.But...he didn't do that.

When they met in the corridor, he happily talked about his sister with the other party, and hoped that this conversation could continue.

On that hidden lawn... He should have left quietly when he felt that violent breath, just like he warned himself before.But he chose to stay when he felt the pain and struggle in that violent breath.Not only did he stay, but he also took the risk of exposing his unique ability by using aura assimilation on Edward in a berserk state...

When the car engine was started, it was moving forward steadily and accelerating, Edward turned on the heating and air conditioning in the car.Even though...he's never used it.Not afraid of the cold, he even took off his coat and let the drenched Samuel wear it, so that he would not catch a cold.

When Edward's keen sense of smell smelled that Samuel's warm breath was enveloped by his breath and gradually mixed with it, he couldn't even restrain the excitement in his heart and took a deep breath, which made him intoxicated.

The sound of water droplets dripping from the hair rippled, accompanied by the warm air from the air conditioner, making the air in the car gradually warm up.Edward couldn't help but glanced at the passenger seat. The boy's black hair was wet and dripping from time to time, making it a mess.But this...formed a picture that was enough to be described as "ambiguous" for Edward.

The water on the tip of the hair dripped continuously, sliding down along the lines of the boy's face.This caused the young man to raise his head, reach out and push back all the hair that almost covered his eyes, and thus unconsciously exposed the beautiful lines of his neck to the sight of those golden eyes.At this moment, the boy with water dripping from the tip of his hair clearly heard the sound of swallowing saliva.He turned his head, only to see Edward turning back in embarrassment, staring at the road outside the car window surprisingly seriously.

After a long silence, Edward finally broke the silence.When he spoke, Samuel could almost hear the struggle in his voice.

"Maybe this is a little... a little hard for you to accept, and you may think that I am talking about fantasy, but what I said is indeed the truth. First of all, I have a kind of... that ordinary people don't Possess the ability. I can hear what other people are thinking, all the time. When I concentrate on feeling deliberately, I can even see everything that is thinking in the other person's head at that time..."

"Then?"

"except you."

While driving in the dark night of the rainstorm, Edward... stared at Samuel with his golden eyes, as if he didn't want to miss his...even the slightest reaction.From the subtle changes in his facial expression, to the movement of his fingers, to the frequency of his breathing, he didn't miss it.But Samuel's reaction was different from everything he had imagined in his mind.

He wasn't surprised at all, calm enough to make Edward uneasy.After Edward finished that sentence, he laughed, and then... Edward heard a voice that didn't leave any ripples in the air.

'Nobody wants their heart to be heard. '

Edward couldn't help but opened his eyes wide and looked at Samuel, but he... didn't move his lips from the beginning to the end, leaving only a pair of blue eyes looking at Edward playfully.

This is... this is the voice in your head, not... not...

Under Edward's shocked gaze, Samuel smiled and said, "It's not that you can't hear my voice. There is nothing wrong with your ability, and it can be said that it is unimaginably powerful. It's just that I don't like it. That feeling of being watched, or... no one likes it. I'm sorry, although I know you're unconscious, but that feeling does make me uncomfortable. So I... tried on myself Made a... shield to make sure you couldn't hear me."

"You, you know that I have the ability to listen to other people's thoughts? And...can I protect myself?"

At this moment, Edward's expression was no longer enough to be described as shocked. He opened his eyes and looked at Samuel in disbelief, this young man who made him know how special he was from the first sight.However, the young man lowered his eyes and revealed a meaningless smile.

"No, I just can feel a kind of power emanating from you...peeking at other people's consciousness, and this power penetrated my consciousness effortlessly. That feeling made me stiff all over, and my spine trembled. It was cool, so I subconsciously blocked it."

Samuel's answer made Edward stare forward in a daze, and his hand holding the steering wheel continued to exert force.Samuel could almost hear the groan of the steering wheel.

There was another silence, but this time... I don't know how determined Edward was to speak.He just looked at the wipers, as if he didn't even have the courage to look Samuel in the eye.

"Then...then you know that I..."

"Not human?"

"Boom!!!"

In an instant, there was a thunderous thunder and a thunderous light that seemed to cover the piercing brakes on the road in the small town...
