CH 171

Ge Xiu finally recovered from the muddleheaded state.

He turned his head to the side, raised his hand to rub his eyes, and said in a slightly hoarse voice his voice:

“…it’s nothing, I just fell down accidentally.”

However the big dragon was still worried, he picked him up horizontally, then turned and walked towards the bed.

Ge Xiu habitually stretched out his arms to wrap his arms around the other’s neck.

——He was carried in this position many times in the last world, causing it to become a subconscious reaction, as if it was a matter of course.

However, as soon as his palm touched the other’s hot and tight skin, Ge Xiu couldn’t help but freeze all over.

As if suddenly sobering up, let go of his hand abruptly and unconsciously leaned back.

Worried that Ge Xiu would knock on his head, the giant dragon hurriedly reached out to cushion the back of his head, but he was in a hurry and their postures instantly became imbalanced.

The two stumbled and fell on the bed.

The other party’s scorching breath and body temperature were like a huge net, tightly entrapping Ge Xiu under it, with his hot chest pressed against his, letting him clearly feel the clear lines of his muscles and ups and downs of his chest with each breath, as well as the rapidly speeding heartbeat in the other’s chest.

The heartbeat sounds was superimposed on the sound of heartbeat, beat after the beat.

One overriding the other, the sound making one uneasy.

Ge Xiu could hardly tell whose heartbeat was ringing in his ears.

The calculation of time seemed to have lost its meaning.

He felt that his mind was filled with cotton and his logical thinking dissipated. However, at the same time, the shameful memories from the last world suddenly began to return quickly.

From his words to his deeds, one stupid detail after another frantically flooded into his mind.

With the return of the memories, Ge Xiu’s body gradually grew stiffer.

Little by little, the blood rushed up to his head.

The heat spread from the base of the ear, burning his face, from the cheekbones to the cheeks, down to the neck and collarbone, his whole body was like a slowly steamed crab, his face so hot that it was almost smoking.

Gorgeous crimson spread across the snow-white skin, like a canvas being painted with vivid colors.

The dragon froze.

He subconsciously breathed as light as possible.

He had flown to the top of the world and had seen the most magnificent sunrise, the sky and sea melting into gorgeous shades of red, he had also seen the earth burn upon dragon’s scorching breath in the setting sun——but he had never seen such a beautiful scarlet colour, which almost made him unable to think, breathe, or move. He could only become a slave to that bright red without any resistance, willingly offering everything he had.

The man’s golden-red vertical pupils gradually darkened, like sublimed to blood.

He was breathing lightly, as if afraid of disturbing something.

But the desire that was slowly brewing in his eyes gradually became clear. He didn’t know what he wanted and fully acted on instinct.

He lowered his head slowly.

The distance between the two gradually shortened.

The tips of their noses touched and their breaths intertwined.

At that moment, Ge Xiu recovered like roused from a dream.

He suddenly raised his hand against the opponent’s shoulder, his voice hoarse and stiff: “——you go down.”

The dragon’s eyes darkened, he gritted his teeth and got up from the bed aggrieved, and obediently stood beside the bed like a child waiting to get reprimanded.

Ge Xiu took a deep breath, raised his hand and buried his face in his palm.

—Stop jumping, so noisy.

Between the brilliant short blond hair, two burning red ear tips were exposed.

What happened in the last world was too vivid, all the details were extremely clear, as if it had just happened yesterday, and because of this, Ge Xiu couldn’t even hypnotize himself that it wasn’t him, definitely not done by him.

Ge Xiu couldn’t remember more clearly…

he did all those things,

and each one made him want to pretend he never existed.

…Heavens.

Was him who lost his memory so stupid?

Ge Xiu frantically wanted to bury his head in the pillow and shout out all the shame and embarrassment coming in waves.

It’s okay, it’s okay, at least only he remembered the things from the last world.

Ge Xiu forcibly calmed down, comforting himself over and over again in his heart.

He took a deep breath, then forced himself to put his hands down and turned to look at the dragon standing beside the bed.

Ge Xiu’s eyes just collided with the focused gaze cast by the other party.

His heart skipped a beat involuntarily.

But Ge Xiu’s face remained calm, he looked the other party up and down calmly, and then went through the stupid things the other party did in this world in his heart.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

In any case, in terms of stupidity, this dragon was was even worse.

Ge Xiu felt the balance return to his heart instantly.

However, as the heat receded from his face little by little, exhaustion hit him like a tide.

Ge Xiu avoided the other party’s enthusiastic gaze, raised his hand and pinched the center of his brows:

“…I want to take a rest.”

After finishing speaking, he raised his hand and pulled away the bow on the side, letting the thick curtain fall at once, becoming a barrier between them two.

Hearing the sound of the other party’s footsteps gradually moving away, Ge Xiu heaved a sigh of relief.

Although he knew that his subconscious behaviour of evading was not only meaningless, but also had no effect, but…

This was unlike machines and designing things, or making trinkets, where as long as he figured a way he could make him way through it. On the contrary, the emotions that interfered with his working state were like computer viruses, messing up his mind. Ge Xiu relied on his own experience and instinct to subconsciously reject this state of confusion.

Under the dimly lit curtain, Ge Xiu rested his forehead on his knees and slowly closed his eyes tiredly.

Moreover, not knowing when, his attitude could no longer be as firm and cold as it was at the beginning.

Even if he deliberately kept a distance, showed indifference and pushes the other party away from his side time and time again.

But… the kind of subconscious intimacy and trust after amnesia couldn’t deceive.

Ge Xiu felt distraught.

He even hoped that he wouldn’t have recovered the memory of the previous world.

At least that way, everything would be much easier.

・

The black dragon flew out of the island.

The princess was not in the right mood today.

That tear that fell pierced his heart like a dagger, as long as he recalled it, he would feel an unspeakable sting.

The dragon decided to find more candies.

The princess liked to eat candy and every time he brought back various candies, the other party’s mood would always improve visibly with naked eye.

The huge wings set off gust of wind and the surrounding clouds quickly turned misshapen.

At this moment, the dragon smelled a burnt stench coming from below.

He pondered for a while in confusion and finally decided to go down and take a look.

As the clouds gradually thinned, the scenery below gradually unfolded before his eyes.

It was a broken wall that had been scorched by the fire, only the blackened broken walls stood on the ground, seeming like a gaping mouth from above.

The giant dragon stared blankly at the miserable scene in front of him.

He smelled the scent in the air—dragon’s breath.

Only the flame of a giant dragon could cause such a powerful and terrifying lethality, but there was only one dragon left in the world.

That was himself.

And the ruined place below was…

the kingdom of Esther.
