under the field

Scarlett

He led me easily over the patio railing, making us look like sneaky burglars, and I chuckled at the thought.But when the moonlight shone on him and cast a shadow, I was thinking again, how could there be such a good-looking thief?There's a man in the distance humming, he's humming a country ditty, this nursery rhyme that's spread all over the Carolinas, and it's funnier when it comes out of a drunk, I snicker again, he He lowered his head and approached me, "Is it so funny?"

We came to the terrace outside Colin's room, this time he didn't stay any longer, we pushed open the balcony door and we entered the room.He gently placed me on his bed, never leaving my eyes for a moment, he bent down to kiss me, I felt his hands coiled up like flexible snakes, fiddled with the hem of the skirt for a long time He let go of my lips, sat up and took off his shirt.The moonlight on the terrace fell on his chest, and I held my breath.

He is perfect, in front of me, from the moment I saw him, he is the best Colin, he is arrogant and indifferent, but I know that he hides a soft heart and a resolute blood.I looked down his bare chest and saw a scar winding down to the waist-abdomen, which was obviously a new wound. I stretched out my hand to touch the wound that had molted into a pink scab, It slowly slid across the line on his hard abdomen, and finally stopped upwards on his heart.He knew what I was going to ask, so he grabbed my hand, kissed the back of it, and said softly, "I'm here too, I'm fine."

He slowly lowered his body, I just felt that I was about to be swallowed by the tenderness in his eyes, everything was like being soaked in a pool of warm spring water, and the hot steam made people breathless.This night makes me feel like a night hunting in Orlando. The prey crawls and sneaks towards you in the jungle behind you, but you don't know where it is really, so you can only listen to it. Nervously striding forward to find its position, I was afraid that the positions of the hunter and the prey would be reversed if they were not careful.Like waiting for a turtle in an urn, watching the hunter's helpless and anxious reaction with a smile and cunning, it was too late when he was thrown down... But in the end, it was still a piece of warmth, as hot as blood, and I felt safe. With his breath in his arms, everything seems to be safe.

In the early morning of the next day, I was the only one left in the room, with the quilt covering my body intact, but the seat beside me was empty.I moved my sore feet and stood resolutely out of bed, remembering that there was a wet towel to clean my body last night.When I went downstairs, everyone was crowded in the back kitchen area.Selena was sitting at the small table outside the kitchen, "Morning." Looking at her with green eyes like a fox, she said with a half-smile.

"Morning." I touched my cheek uncomfortably.

"Give way!" Otis yelled loudly from behind, holding a pot of brown stew in his hand, Selena frowned immediately, and said in disgust, "I won't eat it."

Otis retorted: "Otis brand stew, I promise I won't disgust you."

Stews, most of which can only be eaten in the run-down boroughs, are generally made from whatever the cook can find.It could be anything from a pigeon to a mouse.Basically, anything goes when it comes to a bowl of brownies. "It's probably like a bowl of thick soup." I remember Maria, the maid in the manor, described it this way, "You don't want to delve into the taste, after all, when you are extremely poor, you only care about things Can you get full?"

Selena moved her body away from the dish, frowning even higher: "Have we run out of money? We obviously only ate pigeon pie last night!"

"The chef in this family has no ingredients. He wanted to make a big pot of stew, but I stopped him, and I said I would do it myself." Otis was busy dividing the stew into the plates, "Don't worry, I will I've tried to use turnips and wild vegetables and chicken. You don't know he was going to chop up Lepu to make horsemeat..."

"Are you going to avenge me for yesterday?" Selena still refused to sit down, without even looking at the stew that was really not good in appearance, and pushed back the plate that Otis gave her .

Seeing that the flames of war were about to break out, I hurriedly moved to the kitchen.Colin stood there, feeling a little uncomfortable to see me again, he leaned over, raised his hand and squeezed my chin, and kissed me lightly, "Good morning." He looked Said calmly.I unconsciously raised my hand to touch my face again, "...good morning."

He handed me a drink, "Honey Milk." He touched my earlobe quickly and said deliberately, "it's refreshing in the heat." I was sure that my face must be red at the moment, so I took a sip and drank it The combination of jujube, persimmon and honey is indeed refreshing. I thought of something and said: "Why does the cook have no ingredients?"

"Every month people will go to the Huangcheng District to buy more ingredients, but recently the Huangcheng District is too chaotic and there is no way to go there." He said. "Let's have breakfast." He took me and was about to go out.I pulled his clothes and asked: "So, do people in the royal family know the whereabouts of Selena?" Colin lowered his eyes and said seriously: "They have already searched for her whereabouts. Fei Zhouzhang also wiped out all the descendants of Kennedy." I was also silent, and he touched my face and comforted me: "So we will set off as soon as possible to bring Selena back to the base to join them."

We walked out of the kitchen, and Otis and Selena were already eating at the table.Not knowing what Otis said at the end, Selena obediently ate all the stew. "What did I say? My stew must be delicious!" Selena snorted coldly. He was not afraid, and turned around and poured the rest of the pot into our plate.

Otis expressed that he wanted to exchange mounts with Selena, but of course he was rejected. Otis looked at Selena with a sincere face, and it might be for the sake of the stew, but in the end he got her. A compromise: "Only one street away."

"Of course." He couldn't sit still any longer, and immediately ran to the stable, and Selena chased after him in a hurry.

"She looks...really different from the first impression." Colin commented looking at their backs.

"That's right!" I am a mother who is as proud as others who have discovered their daughter's shining points. "In fact, she is mostly cold on the outside and hot on the inside, and sometimes she is really cute." I said with a smile.

"Did you sleep well last night?" He suddenly asked, seeing my face change slightly, he smiled smugly, I patted his shoulder angrily, and was held in his hand immediately.

"I can hold it like this for the rest of my life without getting bored." He squeezed my hand, and these words easily made people's hearts flutter.

I ate a mouthful of the stew with a spoon in my other hand, and it was delicious, which is why Selena was having a hard time cooperating. "Did Colin of Jacob say that to every woman?"

He showed an innocent and helpless expression again, "I can recognize those who hate me deeply, but it is obviously okay for you to prevaricate me with those love debts outside." I pretended to be angry and ignored him , He turned my face, "Xiao Scar." He wiped the oil stains around my mouth with his thumb, and said seriously: "I only have you, it's true."

I have to learn to restrain my blushing. It is enough to face this man in the morning and my mood fluctuates several times. Every time I feel happy and sweet, just like the taste of honey and milk.I thought of Carl from yesterday. "You know Mr. Rowett Jr.?"

He smiled indifferently, "He has a deep hatred against me." Seeing me looking at him, he said, "He is Joyce's husband's younger brother."

That's right, the Rowett family.

"Because I gathered his family to join the uprising, and in the end I failed and his family was bloodbathed."

"Then Joyce went back to Riverrun..." I asked hesitantly, and he said, "Yes, it was Francis who gave Carl the task of taking Joyce and the children away in the end." Colin lowered his eyes, "This He was kind to me in this matter, but he held grudges against me and indirectly caused his brother's death, in fact, it was indeed like this." I covered the back of his hand.

"So, he survived and joined Jacob as the leader of the Imperial City base. I rarely come here, mainly because I don't deal with him." He shrugged helplessly, "But at least at this point we are On the same front, the others are irrelevant."

Wells District, on the border of the imperial city, can be said to be Karl's territory. No wonder the Bakers have some respect for him.I still feel sympathy for his sudden emotions and actions yesterday. Hearing Colin’s name from others can make him turn his face instantly. This is where Colin said he had a blood feud with him. I sighed slightly. Can't help but hug him in front of me.

"I will always be by your side." I whispered in his ear.

It's not your fault, and it's not on your shoulders, I would say.If every wronged soul who died in vain should be counted on him, and everyone who survived would hate him... This realization made my heart throb and spread, and I even hoped that I could share it with him, at least not let His stomach was consumed by emotions of hatred and self-blame, making people want him to protect him, allowing him to move on without any burden or fear.

"Bastard!" Selena's voice came from the window, and I looked up suddenly. She was riding on Otis' Lightning, and ran ahead to Otis who was riding Lepu. "It's just a street! You've already run two laps!"

Otis didn't mean to stop at all, "Lepu and I really hit it off. If you don't believe me, look, we are going to travel around..."

I couldn't help but smile, met Colin's eyes, and smiled tacitly.
