I can't, I can't

Kang Jiangxue did not answer.Before Ji Linxiu's people surrounded her, the fastest thing Sheng Lingyu could do was to untie the ropes around Kang Jiangxue's hands and feet, and take out the bead in the little emperor's mouth.

Sheng Lingyu said to him: "It's okay, if you're afraid, hold me tight."

After that, Sheng Lingyu pulled him and jumped off the bow.

During the short volley, Kang Jiangxue was extremely calm. His brain seemed to have anticipated this moment earlier than his body, and it seemed that every cell believed in what Sheng Lingyu said, even if the next moment was cold The river flooded his mouth and nose, and a biting chill and pain poured into his body. Kang Jiangxue still didn't feel the fear of going to death.

Sheng Lingyu said it was fine, so it must be fine.

Kang Jiangxue struggled to stay afloat in the water, the sound of waves beating against his eardrums, besides these, he seemed to have heard Ji Linxiu's surprised and furious roar.

Other people on the boat jumped off right after him. The flames on the boat made him dizzy, and Kang Jiangxue floated up and down, unable to breathe, so he put his hands on his waist and lifted him out of the water.

Sheng Lingyu said over and over again as if to comfort him: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm here."

Kang Jiangxue really wanted to respond to Sheng Lingyu, telling him that she was not afraid, she was really not afraid, but the river was too cold at night in autumn, Kang Jiangxue insisted again and again and passed out.

Before the consciousness dissipated little by little, Kang Jiangxue vaguely felt that Sheng Lingyu's hand had been supporting him. Sometimes Sheng Lingyu herself was underwater, but she still supported him first to let him breathe first.Kang Jiangxue really wanted to ask him: Are you not cold yourself?Are you not in pain or tired?

However, those words were hidden in the darkness before they had time to ask, and when Kang Jiangxue woke up again, she had already reached the bank of the river.

He was lying among the fine grains of sand, and in front of him was a moon so bright that it made people feel dazed. The night wind blew by, making people shiver from the cold. He was not far away, motionless, as if he hadn't woken up yet.

"Sheng Lingyu..." Kang Jiangxue rushed over quickly, not even caring about the pain in his bare feet. He knelt down and shook Sheng Lingyu's shoulders, calling out repeatedly, but for some reason, Sheng Lingyu kept her eyes closed after calling out a lot did not wake up.

An indescribable fear rose in Kang Jiangxue's heart. He tentatively touched Sheng Lingyu's breath...but he didn't feel anything.

The little emperor's hands kept shaking, and his voice seemed to be choked in his throat, unable to utter.I don't know if the moonlight was too bright, but Sheng Lingyu's face looked paler than ever before.

Sheng Lingyu's chest didn't rise or fall at all, and he looked as if he was going to sleep like this forever.

Kang Jiangxue's tears rushed wildly in his eyes, and the next second he pressed Sheng Lingyu's chest like crazy, and after dozens of times, he opened Sheng Lingyu's mouth and stuck it to breathe.

This period of time was extremely long. Kang Jiangxue did artificial respiration three times in total. When he pressed Sheng Lingyu's lips for the fourth time, the paper-white beauty finally turned her head and choked out water, and her chest heaved.

"Sheng Lingyu... scared me to death, you scared me to death." Kang Jiangxue didn't realize that she was full of tears. The great shock of Sheng Lingyu's possible death and the great surprise of her return broke through Kang Jiangxue's psychological defense line one after another. Kang Jiangxue Lying uncontrollably on Sheng Lingyu's chest, she burst into tears.

Sheng Lingyu's eyes began to focus gradually, but her mind's perception of everything around her was very slow.

His mind was blank for several seconds, during which time he could hear a familiar voice sobbing in his ears, the voice fluctuated from near to far away, he couldn't hear clearly when it was far away, and it made him almost have a headache when it was close.

Sheng Lingyu moved her gaze downwards, and saw the jet-black and wet hair and a smooth white back. Someone was sticking to him, and her white jade-like skin seemed not to be a real person under the moonlight.

Even if you don't wear an inch, you can't feel a trace of profanity in your life, just like...

It's a phantom ghost.

Just as he was thinking, the elf suddenly raised his head from his chest, his face was unfamiliar, but his teary eyes were familiar, and a call came out from his trembling lips, "Sheng Lingyu——"

It turns out that he can still talk...

Sheng Lingyu was in a daze, and after a while she sat up abruptly and said, "...Your Majesty."

He is sober.

Sheng Lingyu's movement came suddenly, and Kang Jiangxue fell backwards. Before he touched the ground, Sheng Lingyu's arms wrapped around his back and caught him.

Suddenly seeing the little emperor's dragon body again, Sheng Lingyu immediately let go, took off her coat and put it on Kang Jiangxue: "Are you injured?"

Kang Jiangxue was depressed, and her thinking was not so fast, she just gathered her clothes in a daze, and shook her head.

After a while, Kang Jiangxue also realized, and asked, "What about you? Are you all right now?"

Sheng Lingyu paused, and said, "I'm fine... I'm fine."

It was clearly due to his lack of thoughtfulness and limited ability that caused the little emperor to escape from the river and suffered a lot, and now he actually caused the little emperor to worry about him.

Sheng Lingyu looked at the little emperor's swollen eyes and was silent for a while, but finally said nothing, "Your Majesty, we have to go."

At this time, there is no delay, and Kang Jiangxue knew it well, so he nodded and got up immediately.

Sheng Lingyu knelt down in front of him: "I carry you on my back."

Sheng Lingyu just woke up, and the physical exertion in the water was even worse than him. Kang Jiangxue shook her head: "I can do it myself."

Sheng Lingyu insisted on this: "No, Your Majesty doesn't have shoes, so you can't take a step. Come up."

Kang Jiangxue's refusal was fruitless. Although she didn't want to tire Sheng Lingyu, she also knew that the stalemate would only delay time. At this time, he didn't have any thoughts about the character design. When facing Sheng Lingyu, he even talked loudly with Sheng Lingyu Are not willing to.

Kang Jiangxue lay down obediently, and ran quickly with Sheng Lingyu on his back.Walking in the woods, Kang Jiangxue started to panic. He asked, "Can we escape? Will they catch up?"

Sheng Lingyu replied in a deep voice: "Of course we will chase, but if we fail to find us within a certain period of time, we should give up. The teams looking for His Majesty are all nearby, and when they land, they will only be at greater risk than us. You have to shrink back and be afraid. As long as I guard His Majesty, I will be completely safe in another hour, Your Majesty, don't worry."

Kang Jiangxue nodded, and lay still on Sheng Lingyu's back.

His body was still cold, but the chest against Sheng Lingyu was very hot.The clothes of both of them are wet, and the wet and greasy touch between the heat is uncomfortable, but it is contradictory and reassuring.

Kang Jiangxue asked suddenly: "Sheng Lingyu, aren't you afraid of death if you jump into the river?"

Sheng Lingyu replied: "Until His Majesty is safe, I will not die."

Yeah? ——But it was really only a little bit short just now, if he hadn't woken up in time, if he had slept for a moment longer, then Sheng Lingyu...

Kang Jiangxue couldn't say it, but hugged Sheng Lingyu's neck tightly.

Sheng Lingyu noticed something, turned her head and asked, "Do you feel cold?"

Kang Jiangxue didn't speak, but Sheng Lingyu said again, "I'm sorry."

Kang Jiangxue didn't want to hear Sheng Lingyu apologize to him, and it was never Sheng Lingyu's fault.The two walked in the forest for a while, and Sheng Lingyu found a place to rest: the terrain was very low, covered by vegetation, and there was a low cave where people could hide.

Sheng Lingyu put Kang Jiangxue down, cleared out a space to house the little emperor, then searched around his waist, took out a small bag, and scattered the contents outside.

Kang Jiangxue felt a little familiar, and asked, "What is this?"

Sheng Lingyu replied: "Ping Zhang gave the incense powder to the minister. He said that if His Majesty is found, he will release it. Your Majesty will wait a moment."

That's how it is... No wonder Sheng Lingyu knew that he had been robbed, and could find his location to catch up with him. It turned out that Sheng Lingyu had met Ping Wuqi.But if this is the case, it means that Sheng Lingyu also knows that she sent someone to secretly observe his recent situation.

Doesn't Sheng Lingyu want to ask him why?

Kang Jiangxue was thinking in a mess, and couldn't help but look at Sheng Lingyu, but Sheng Lingyu seemed to have no intention of this at all. He picked up some branches from nearby, piled them up in the short hole, and said gently: "Huo Zhezi is still here!" It can be used, but in order to prevent the whereabouts from being exposed, it is still not possible to ignite too much fire, so I am sorry for your majesty to come over."

Sheng Lingyu lit the cluster of branches, and the fire light reflected warm and bright around the short hole, but the outside was tightly covered by Sheng Lingyu's branches, forming a small world with only fire light and two people in this square inch.

Sheng Lingyu said: "Your Majesty, dry your clothes first, and be careful not to catch a cold."

The fire was the source of heat in the darkness, so Kang Jiangxue couldn't help leaning over. He didn't dislike the other party as Sheng Lingyu imagined, but sat down beside Sheng Lingyu in front of the small fire.

The fire was so hot that the chill in Kang Jiangxue's body seemed to be dispelled at this moment.

……very nice.

Kang Jiangxue hugged her legs and huddled into a ball, tilting her head to warm herself by the fire. Because she only had Sheng Lingyu's outer shirt on her body, this action completely exposed his scarred calves to the flames.Sheng Lingyu took a quick glance, and an unspeakable pain appeared between his brows, but he didn't make a sound, but just looked away.

The surroundings were quiet for a while, Kang Jiangxue felt silent, and she didn't know what to say. After a long time, the little emperor took the initiative to ask: "Are there any wild animals around here?"

Sheng Lingyu replied, "Maybe."

Kang Jiangxue asked again: "What if they come here by smell?"

Sheng Lingyu replied: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will drive them away."

Kang Jiangxue didn't know what to say, so she could only find something to say: "What if I can't drive you away?"

Sheng Lingyu paused for a moment, and replied: "Then let's feed the Weichen to them first, it will take a while."

Kang Jiangxue didn't understand if Sheng Lingyu was telling a joke, and felt a little funny for a while, but couldn't laugh no matter what.

He couldn't help but look at Sheng Lingyu. Sheng Lingyu's side face reflected another kind of beauty in the firelight. Under the moonlight, Sheng Lingyu was the beauty of the moon, and under the light of the fire, he became the beauty of the fire again.

He is so beautiful.

He was so good it made me want to cry.

Thinking about it, Kang Jiangxue touched her face. The touch felt very weird. Kang Jiangxue suddenly realized that he was still wearing the human skin mask that Ji Linxiu had pasted on him.

It's okay if he didn't realize it, but he felt very uncomfortable when he realized it. Kang Jiangxue couldn't help but stretched out his hand to peel it off, but he didn't know how to do it, and he only felt pain when he tore it twice.

Seeing this, Sheng Lingyu said, "Come on, my minister."

Kang Jiangxue nodded, and Sheng Lingyu approached and held his face, rubbing gently around the little emperor's cheeks.Such actions made the distance between the two of them very close. Kang Jiangxue looked at Sheng Lingyu's serious expression and asked, "By the way, how did you recognize me on the boat?"

Sheng Lingyu's movements suddenly paused, and her eyes met the little emperor's, feeling a little at a loss for some reason.

He has always been an upright and breezy person, but he hesitated to answer this question, as if he didn't know how to speak.

After a long time, Sheng Lingyu said slowly: "Because I recognize, recognize..."

Kang Jiangxue said: "Recognize what?"

Sheng Lingyu still couldn't speak, and he himself didn't know how to tell the little emperor.

How could he speak it?

He recognized the little emperor's feet, he recognized the little emperor's ankle, and he recognized the little emperor's calf. He knew he had seen it before, so it shouldn't matter if he recognized it, but there was another voice in his heart telling him: No, no, this should not.

He shouldn't remember, let alone...

Remember this clearly.
