Chapter 23 The Affection Bloomed And Was Getting Deeper (1/2)

It was not as painful as she had expected. After a few loud 'bang's, the surrounding quietened down.

Long Xi looked up and saw that the golden eagles had all fled away. There was not a single trace of them.

A figure stood in front of her, unraveled by the wind. A look of worry flashed across his obsidian eyes.

Tears flooded Long Xi's eyes immediately. ”Mo Kun...”

Mo Kun walked towards Long Xi as she sat on the ground and cried silently with her hair in a mess.

Mo Kun felt helpless at her current state.

He complained, ”Do you want to die?”

”Um...” Long Xi did not know how to explain.

”You knew that those birds are ferocious golden eagles and do not go soft on their prey,” lectured Mo Kun.

”Ooohhhh....” She did not know what to say, so she continued crying. She covered her face with her hands and sneaked a peek at him between her fingers.

”You would have gotten hurt for sure! You might even die! They could have brought you to mid-air and then dropped you to death!” Mo Kun's words were harsh, but his heart had softened. ”This girl is so difficult to handle!”

”Ooohhh...” She decided to continue crying until he stopped being mad.

”Stop crying!” Mo Kun finally burst out. He was so angry.

Long Xi shut up instantly. She whined for a while and started sobbing softly.

”I'm... sorry,” she said eventually.

Mo Kun replied, ”Can't you say something else other than that...” He then stretched out his big hand and smoothened her beautiful long hair.

”I, I...” Long Xi did not know what to say. She sobbed silently while staring intensely at him with her sparkling clear eyes.

Mo Kun seemed to have been burnt by her gaze. He looked away and stretched out his hand towards her.

Long Xi looked at him and placed her hand in his without any hesitation.

She seemed to have not realized her whole-hearted trust in him. She had never felt this way towards someone that she had met just two days ago.

Mo Kun pulled her up and seemed to have overdone it. She lunged forward and almost fell into his embrace.

The two of them were extremely close to each other. They could hear each others' heartbeat.

Mo Kun lowered his head gradually and tried to move his lips closer to hers. There was now a 0.05 cm gap between their lips.

”Ah!” Long Xi seemed to have remembered something and squatted down immediately. She checked on the snow leopard's condition and was only relieved when she saw that it was still breathing.

Mo Kun felt extremely awkward at his futile attempt!

The determination of the snow leopard to protect the dead body of its fellow species with its whole life flashed across Long Xi's mind and her eyes started to get blurry again. This affection that remained untold found a place at the bottom of Long Xi's heart. It came and went, as much as it rose and sank.

Life came like a beautiful flower being carried in the wind. Yet it passed as quickly as a firework show.

Long Xi's heart was so pure that she would interpret a disaster as painfully beautiful.

Mo Kun looked at Long Xi's blurred and tearful eyes and his heart became as soft as cotton. Unknowingly, he stretched out his hand and caressed her head.
