195 tears

"No!" Siqin was scared by the situation in front of her and shouted loudly. Her voice was full of fear and desolation. It was so sharp that Bai Xijing finally realized what was going on in front of her. She subconsciously stretched out her hand and suddenly held Du Kang's sword.

The bright red blood flowed drop by drop along the silver blade, and the tiny sound in this silent room seemed to be infinitely amplified, making people hear it so clearly.

Siqin stared at what suddenly happened in front of her. She didn't know what to say. The only thing she could do was to cover her mouth and slowly turn her head over, as if she could no longer bear to look at it.

Bai Xijing still looked at Du Kang fixedly. There was a layer of water mist in her eyes, making his figure not very clear in her eyes. She opened her mouth and seemed to have something to say, but the words could only turn into a deep sigh.

"Lord...Lord?" Finally, a surprised voice sounded in the room that had been quiet for a long time. The voice was not loud, but the call was a thousand turns, as if it contained too strong emotions.

Bai Xijing slowly closed her eyes when she heard the words. It took a long time before she slowly opened it, but this time she didn't look at Du Kang. She just took her hand back and said in an indifferent voice, "Your life belongs to me. Do you think you have the right to control yourself?"

The indifferent voice and cold face are the side she has never showed to him.

"Yes, I understand." Du Kang raised his head and looked at Bai Xijing standing in front of him. His slender body under his snowy white clothes seemed to tremble slightly at this time. His eyes slowly stayed on her right hand, where a drop of scarlet blood was dripping on the ground along the slender white fingers. The blood was enchanting, setting off She became paler and paler.

Her heart moved slightly, and she... still cares about herself, right? Even if she said hurtful cold words and made a cold look on her face, her heart was as gentle and restrained as when she first met her.

If that's not the case, why did she suddenly stretch out her hand to stop his sword at the end and don't want to watch him die even if she is injured? And why doesn't she dare to look directly at herself when saying these hurtful words?

Princess, you are like this. You are always like this, so when I realized it, I found that I had already liked you so much. I went deep into the bone marrow and couldn't eradicate it, and then it was doomed. How can I tell you, how can I tell you about me, because I... would rather die than make you hate me or make you cry!

Du Kang slowly restrained the churning emotions in his heart. He bit his lower lip and forced himself not to show a trace of shaking. He bowed deeply to Bai Xijing and said, "I hope the princess will take care of her jade body and leave first."

Bai Xijing didn't say anything, and even didn't even want to give a look to Du Kang. She just stood like that, and her figure looked lonely and lonely. It was not until she heard the sound of Du Kang walking out of the room and closing the door that she slowly turned her head.

Siqin looked at the door that had been closed. The man's figure had already gone far and didn't even look back. Somehow a sad emotion was growing in her heart. Siqin took a deep breath and then took a few steps closer to Bai Xijing, but just a few steps, Siqin's face suddenly became stunned and was even more surprised than before: "Princess, you..."

"I'm fine." Bai Xijing said lightly, "It's late at night. Go to bed."

"But..." Siqin looked at Bai Xijing's right palm, which was still bleeding, and hesitated a little.

"Don't let me say it again." Bai Xijing's voice was a little cold. Siqin knew that it was useless to say more and did not dare to stay longer. She could only hurriedly salute and retreat.

"Princess, you said you were fine, but do you know? You... cried..." Siqin slowly closed the door and looked at the faint candlelight in the crack of the door and whispered.

As soon as Siqin and Du Kang left, the room became quieter and quieter. Bai Xijing leaned against the window, and the swaying candlelight in the room was imprinted on her bright face, making her look a little sad and helpless. She slowly raised her right hand, where scarlet blood beads were still coming out, but she seemed to be numb and didn't feel any pain at all.

No, it's not so much that I don't feel any pain, but it's nothing compared with the pain in my hand in that place.

"Du Kang." Like a fish spitting out bubbles, Bai Xijing's lips touched slightly and gently muttered the name, "Why?"

She still remembers the scene when she first met Du Kang. At that time, Du Kang was just a 15-year-old teenager. He didn't like to talk or laugh. Unlike everyone in the White State, he has always been dressed in a lonely dark clothes.

She asked him, "What's your name?"

He said, "Du Kang."

That was the first time she heard him speak. It turned out that his voice was so beautiful, as clear as a slightly gentle piano sound.

She smiled and said, "I like your name. How can I relieve my worries? Only Du Kang, the person who named you must cherish you very much."

She still remembers that he was stunned for a long time when he heard her words. There seemed to be a trace of movement on his handsome face, which made him expressionless, as if a crack finally appeared on his masked face, and then... He smiled gently, which was gentle for years and stunned the time.

She heard him answer softly, "Uh-huh."

She heard herself say in a gentle tone, "Do you want to stay by my side?"

She doesn't know why she opened her mouth, but her actions always precede her own ideas. Now that I think, maybe the so-called reason is just that Du Kang's smile was too gentle at that time, and she... also wants to be the person who can smile like that one day. Moreover, she can feel that they are so similar.

Thinking of this, Bai Xijing's heart was sinking again. She raised her hand to stroke the corners of her lips, trying to make her smile, but the corners of her lips were heavy that made her unable to move at all. Bai Xijing slowly closed his eyes and finally couldn't help allowing his tears to flow down like a levee.

"One day when I am by the princess's side, I will definitely protect the princess from any harm." At that time, Du Kan's vows seemed to be echoing in his ears, but who could guess that one day she would be injured because of him?
