After being sacrificed to Eros [Greek mythology]

Psyche knew that her words were too heavy, but in such an unsolvable dilemma, breaking up was really the only answer she could think of.

Although she didn't fully see his face that night, she could tell from his radiant figure...he was a noble god.

Indifferent, absolutely dusty, so perfect that it doesn't seem to exist in the world.

Such a god would not be attached to anything.

Even if he really hit the golden arrow of Cupid, she is probably just a temporary pastime for him.

Just like the god of Olympus, he is passionate and takes pleasure in picking mortal women.

Naturally, Psyche also thinks that the gods have no long-term interest in the untrained.

But that day she heard him ask her clearly: You said it's over, can't you accept me, no matter how long?

Psyche's heart skipped a beat.

At that time, he gently held her waist, and his words were full of warmth of discussion, but the atmosphere around him was dull and cold, chillier than the cold wind in December.

If she dared to say "yes" at that time, she would not know where she is now.

Fortunately, she was frightened to death at that time, so she just swallowed a word to him, leaving room for it.

He came here today and left her alone, waiting for her to take the initiative to prove the "room".

Psyche panicked.

She neither dared nor wanted to.

She is just a young girl of eighteen or nineteen years old, and she has never been married. She was well protected by her parents when she was in the palace. Except for Aldous, she has never dealt with men much.

Usually, when the relationship is strong, he always dominates everything, and she accepts it in a daze.

It's really embarrassing to ask her to take the initiative now.

In order to cover up his embarrassment, Psyche deliberately found something for himself to do, such as washing apples and folding clothes, and pretended to be orderly.

But the busier a person who likes leisure, the harder it is to hide the panic in his heart.

The man didn't take the initiative to pay attention to her.

The two of them were in a stalemate, doing their own things.

For a whole night, I was stunned and didn't say a word.

In the early morning of the next day, Cupid opened his eyes and found that the girl was occupying the whole bed obliquely, and only a narrow strip was stuck on his side.

Psyche doesn't sleep well on weekdays, and likes to roll around and move around. It's a princess's disease that she suffered from living in the palace for more than ten years.

It was even worse today, almost taking up the entire bed, she was slightly drunk by daylight, and she was still soundly asleep.

Cupid frowned displeased.

Thinking of her long silence last night, I felt even more angry.

He waited for her most of the night with his eyes open, but he didn't wait for her to strike up a conversation, but he only waited for the sound of her gradually calming down in a deep sleep.

What did she mean by this, to keep him cold, let him go, and tell him to retreat in spite of the difficulties?

Cupid couldn't help holding his chin, laughing at himself.

She was determined to quarrel with him, and he was still foolishly trying to reconcile with her.

He has been the god of love for so long, and he has countless resentful companions under his command. He never thought that he would become one of them one day.

From the very beginning, he shouldn't be flirting, seeking some illusory love between two people, it's simply thankless.

If a golden arrow is thrown in the past, even if she has a heart of iron walls, she will turn to him with tears in her eyes.

But he didn't want to do this, it seemed how mean he was.

Thinking of this, Cupid couldn't help but blame the golden arrow that hit by mistake.

... Otherwise, how could he be so obsessed with a little mortal girl?

Psyche, who was in a coma, groaned and turned over, as if he had some dream, the quilt was thrown to the ground by her.

Cupid wanted to support her subconsciously, but withdrew his hand angrily.

She was about to break up with him, so what was he still doing here so affectionately?

Simply ignore her.

Cupid walked to the window, thought about it, and finally sighed secretly.

Folding back, she covered her with the quilt again.

……

Koliat Island is remote and less populated, covered with large tracts of virgin forest.

The sunlight leaked down through the layers of leaves, and the ground was reflected with large and small golden spots, and there were afterimages of light everywhere.

After finishing his official business, Cupid wandered by the clear and shallow stream.

His wandering was really wandering, he walked round and round by the river several times, still aimlessly.

He is thinking about one thing.

He couldn't get rid of Psyche's figure, couldn't help thinking about her, and even sucked her smell left on his clothes.

But his sober mind told him clearly that he was nothing in the other party's eyes.

The golden sunlight reflected in his clear pupils, Cupid raised his chin, and glanced at the scorching sun as if hurting himself.

When he opened his eyes again, he already had a golden arrow in his hand.

He already, doesn't want to fight with her anymore.

He wanted her in a direct way.

……

Zephyros, the god of the west wind, passed by, and was taken aback when he saw his former friend in the forest.

"Cupid."

Zephyros called him from the air.

The two have a good personal relationship. A few days ago, Zephyros gave Psyche a ride.

Seeing that it was Zephyros, Cupid nodded politely.

Zephyros landed, caught a glimpse of the golden arrow in his hand, and smiled knowingly, "Who are you going to harm?"

Cupid raised his eyebrows slightly, "Is it okay?"

Zephyros scratched his head and said hehe, "It doesn't matter, as long as you don't mess with me. But then again, is it because your beautiful woman who gets along day and night has made you suffer again?"

Cupid closed his eyes.

Seeing him acquiescing, Zephyros said, "You can take it easy. Aphrodite asked her to marry the monster Lu Junke, you are good, I fell in love at first sight. If you let Aphrodite know, I don't know how angry... "

Cupid was absent-minded, and his deep eyes were flickering with ethereal light.

"love at first sight."

He read these four words back meaningfully, recalling the past as if in a fugue.

Indeed, at first Aphrodite sent him down to punish Psyche for being too beautiful.

His mother ordered him to shoot a golden arrow, so that the beautiful young girl would fall in love with the monster forever.

Cupid, of course, doesn't care.

He has done this kind of thing a lot.

He just thought a little loosely, what's the point of being so strong with a mortal woman?

Cupid followed the girl for three days and three nights.

He was very lazy at that time, since he found the prey, he always wanted to play with it, and he was not in a hurry to do it.

When the little girl was hunting, he leaned on the tree and watched without a hitch.

She was reading by the spring, and he quietly appeared behind her, glancing at the contents.

When she was sleeping, he took out the golden arrow and pointed it at her to see which angle was better.

The girl had a guard, and it seemed that the two were childhood sweethearts.

Seeing that the two were inseparable, Cupid couldn't help laughing secretly.

It doesn't matter who she likes, the Goddess of Beauty has issued an oracle, and whoever she likes has to marry a monster.

Within a few days, something happened suddenly.

The little girl's parents died in an accident, and she was so sad that she lay down on the bed and cried until it was dark, her eyes were swollen.

Cupid was going to do it for a few days, but seeing the confusion and sadness in the girl's eyes, like a pool of clear water of sorrow, he couldn't help but feel a little compassion.

it's a pity.

Her parents had just died, and she was about to be sacrificed to a murderous monster.

Lu Junke is an ancient fierce beast with terrifying eyes all over his body. He likes to suck the souls of young girls, and the girls under his hands never live.

Cupid appeared in front of her invisible, stroking her with invisible hands, trying to tell her not to cry.

But she cried even more fiercely, and a drop of clear tear stained his fingertips.

The tears carried a very subtle feeling, cool and slightly bitter, which he had never felt before.

After a long while, it slowly dried up.

Cupid hesitated for the first time.He thought, not in a hurry for this moment.

It won't be too late to wait for her bereavement to ease.

For the next few days, he was still by her side every day.

Unlike the playfulness of the previous days, Cupid felt that he was already attracted to her.

Even when she was hunted down by her uncle once, he secretly rescued her.

The girl's smile is so beautiful that it really eclipses the stars and the moon.

When she laughed, he couldn't help stroking her and brushing away her messy hair.

A hidden idea quietly took root in Cupid's mind.

That is, he seems to like her, wants to take her as his own, and wants that bright and beautiful smile to be his only.

For a moment, he imagined the feeling of holding her in his arms, and wanted to taste the light taste of her lips.

It's just that the thought was so subtle that he didn't realize it himself.

Cupid put off the matter of archery again and again.

Until that day, the deadline to complete the task finally arrived.

After dawdling for so long, he had to get over this matter.

Although he felt some pity for the girl, he hadn't reached the point where he couldn't help her.

The moonlight was like a veil, and Cupid appeared beside her pillow, holding up a golden arrow.

Perhaps it was the getting along with him these days that touched him. He held an arrow in one hand and stroked her delicate face for the last time with the other.

Since she was destined to be sacrificed to the monster, he wished her luck as best he could.

But it was precisely this breeze-like touch that made the girl suddenly open her eyes.

Her eyes were like a bright smoke, even in the dark night, they stared straight into his soul.

Cupid's hand trembled subconsciously.

The arrow in his hand was also loose.

When he reacted, the golden arrow had pierced his own heart.

He looked at her suddenly.

……

Thus, the monster Lujunk became himself.

Seeing Cupid lost in thought, Zephyros thought that something was wrong with him, so he couldn't help poking him.

Cupid rubbed his temples, the past was broken like foam, and it took him a while to recover.

He coughed lightly, remembering Zephyros' words just now.

"I don't want to hide it."

Cupid said calmly, "You help me to tell my mother directly, I don't care. I will explain this to her personally later."

Zephyrus' jaw almost dropped in shock.

"Really? Cupid, you are crazy," Zephyros touched his forehead, "It's just love, do you really want to marry that mortal woman?"

Cupid brushed Zephyrus' hand away coldly.

He wasn't going to hide it.

Psyche's lamp that night also reminded him that he should be honest with her and appear in front of her openly under the sun.

The reason why he has been pressing but not sending is because he wants to wait for an opportunity.

Now, no matter whether the time came or not, he didn't want to bear it anymore.

It took Zephyrus a long time to react.

"Think about it," he said. "She's not even a fairy in the mountains, forests and waters. She's a mortal. Mortals are subject to birth, old age, sickness and death. Even if you marry her, she will only exist in your life for a moment."

Cupid chuckled, his expression difficult to distinguish between joy and sorrow.

Of course this was not reminded by Zephyros.

He said that if he married her, he would let her be with the glory of Olympus.

He will fulfill this promise.
