Su Yuan coaxed Zhao Zhao, promising and comforting her, and finally managed to calm her eagerness to fall in love.
After solving this matter, he turned his thoughts back to the strange words Zhao Zhao had said before.
"Zhao Zhao, what did you mean by 'it hurts so much' before? Where does it hurt?" Su Yuan was worried. He was afraid that he had taken care of her badly and she had been enduring the pain.
The sky was turning white, announcing the end of the night and the beginning of a new day.
Zhao Zhao was nestled in Su Yuan's arms, taking small breaths. As she recalled the unbearable pain that made her want to go crazy, her whole body started to tremble uncontrollably. She grabbed onto Su Yuan's sleeve.
"Where does it hurt? Can you tell me?" With her reaction, Su Yuan's eyes stung with acid. His throat was blocked with something, and he felt so uncomfortable. It took him a long time to finally say this sentence. He stroked Zhao Zhao's hair, comforting her.
"My bones, my bones broke..." Zhao Zhao was so scared that she hugged herself tightly and curled into a ball. She was speaking incoherently.
This really scared Su Yuan. He quickly supported her hands and checked her up and down. After confirming that she was okay, he sighed in relief. He softly guided her to ask, "Zhao Zhao, did you have a nightmare?"
"Nightmare..." Hearing this word, Zhao Zhao was a little confused. She reacted slowly and nodded her head, "Yes, I had a nightmare... In the dream, someone wanted to kill me. It said I shouldn't be alive. It broke my bones..."
Su Yuan pulled Zhao Zhao's hands away from him and wrapped her in his arms. He told her word by word, "Don't be afraid. It's all a dream. I'm here. No one will dare to hurt Zhao Zhao. If anyone wants to kill you, they have to step over my corpse. Don't be afraid."
Actually, she wasn't that sad at first, but now that she was being comforted in someone's arms, all her emotions came out.
Zhao Zhao looked up at Su Yuan with tears in her eyes. She simply told him all her grievances, "I also saw you didn't want me. You were walking forward, and I couldn't catch up to you. You didn't even want to turn around and look at me."
She was talking about what she saw in her dream, but the feeling was so real. She had an illusion that she had experienced it before. The pain was so real.
Su Yuan didn't say anything. He was silent for a long time, as if he was making a difficult decision.
After a long time, he sighed softly and leaned his forehead against Zhao Zhao's. He closed his eyes, "Zhao Zhao, can you feel it? The longing I have for you in my heart."
Zhao Zhao suddenly felt a strange feeling in her heart. It was very similar to the feeling she had in the Underworld, but this time, it was much clearer and more definite.
"I miss you even when you're in my arms. How could you think that I might abandon you?"
He said he missed her. Zhao Zhao touched her heart and felt the emotions Su Yuan was passing on. She also closed her eyes like Su Yuan.
She knew that Su Yuan would never abandon her.
After a moment, Zhao Zhao suddenly laughed. Her eyes were like crescent moons.
The simple tree demon suddenly turned into a little fox. She bent her finger and tapped on Su Yuan's heart. She said firmly, "Su Yuan, this place in your heart is telling me that you like me very much."
A hint of unnaturalness flashed across Su Yuan's face. He was a little embarrassed, as if someone had seen through his feelings. He lifted the blanket and stuffed her inside. He threatened her angrily, "Sleep. If you don't sleep, you won't be allowed to eat snacks for the next few days."
This threat still had some effect. Zhao Zhao covered herself with the blanket and showed her eyes. She sent him a glare.
However, the effect wasn't obvious enough. Zhao Zhao kicked the blanket and climbed up. She jumped on Su Yuan's back like a koala.
Su Yuan had no choice but to reach out and support her. He had a headache raising a child. He really wanted to call an experienced demon and ask for advice.
"What now, little ancestor?"
He very inappropriately remembered a hot topic that Gu Qing and the others had discussed before - "What is it like to have a girlfriend who is much younger than you?"
One of the high-vote answers was like this: "When there's nothing to do, her mouth keeps on talking. When something happens, her tears keep on flowing."
Although she wasn't his girlfriend yet, the situation was the same.
Zhao Zhao didn't know what was going on in Su Yuan's mind at all. She was very nervous now, extremely nervous.
"I have something to tell you."
Su Yuan was afraid that she would fall. He wanted to hold her down, but Zhao Zhao didn't allow him to. She buried her face in his back.
There was no choice. He could only let her.
"What is it?"
Zhao Zhao tightened her hands around his neck. The little tree's strength was really great. She almost strangled Su Yuan.
"I lied to you about something very important. It's about my identity, but I can't tell you everything yet..." After Zhao Zhao said this sentence, she panicked and added, "But I'm not a bad person. I'm here to save someone. You have to believe me!"
She really wasn't like what Gu Qing said...
The words were said so clearly. Even though she didn't say it completely, but as smart as Su Yuan, how could he not guess?
He patted Zhao Zhao's hand and signaled her to relax, "Zhao Zhao, relax. I'm going to suffocate."
"Oops! I'm sorry!" Zhao Zhao quickly let go of her hands and jumped down. She stood on the floor, playing with her fingers nervously. She pretended to be busy, but actually, she was nervously waiting for Su Yuan's judgment.
"Lift your foot." The scolding she expected didn't come. Instead, Su Yuan squatted in front of her. He was still holding a pair of furry slippers.
Zhao Zhao didn't know what Su Yuan was thinking. She could only do as he said. She lifted her foot and let Su Yuan put on the slippers for her.
"The floor is cold. You can't step on it barefoot in the future. Remember?" Su Yuan was too calm. He was so calm that it was as if he didn't hear anything. This made Zhao Zhao unsure.
"Did you hear what I said? Why don't you react? Su Yuan, Su Yuan, you're really - Mm? Mmm!"
Before she could finish speaking, someone covered her mouth. Zhao Zhao's eyes widened. She was full of confusion.
Su Yuan was cute no matter how he looked at it. He couldn't help but laugh softly. His laughter was so sexy and attractive. It made Zhao Zhao, who didn't know anything about feelings, blush. She looked away.
"I heard you, little fool." Su Yuan pinched her face, "Didn't I tell you a long time ago that what you are doesn't matter to me at all? You're so young, why is your memory so bad?"
Zhao Zhao inexplicably heard a hint of revenge from the words "so young". She blinked her eyes and thought that she didn't say it...
"You can be a human or a demon. Even if you're a little ghost, you're still Zhao Zhao in my heart. It doesn't matter. So, our Zhao Zhao doesn't need to worry about this at all."
Su Yuan had long suspected this, but it wasn't out of a defensive thought. He was just curious. He was curious about what this little girl who had jumped into his arms was.
However, he wasn't in a hurry to explore. He was looking forward to the day when Zhao Zhao was willing to confess. And this process was just a little... fun.
The dragon felt his heart heating up the more he thought about it. He was just about to control himself when the little girl in front of him, who was touched to the point of tears, suddenly pounced on him. She wiped her tears on his clothes, "Su Yuan, you're so good. I want to grow up quickly. I want to grow up to the point where you can fall in love with me."
"..." The Lord Ying Long was very restless. Oh no! His dragon tail was a little eager to try.
Su Yuan took a deep breath. He finally had to admit that Fu Feng was right about some things. He couldn't help but be attracted to Zhao Zhao like this.
He had fallen.
