After Transmigration, The Male Lead and I had a HE - Chapter 306

Before she could fully enjoy it, her makeup was about to be ruined again. Thinking of this, she reached out and playfully tapped his shoulder, raising an eyebrow, “I was having a good conversation with you, what are you doing…”

But she said this with swollen lips, unintentionally carrying a hint of coquettishness.

He averted his gaze, unsure of what inappropriate action he might commit if he continued to stare at her like this.

She stopped midway in her speech and then saw him walking towards the table. On the table were two wine cups, and he lifted the wine pitcher, looking down at the full cups.

He glanced at her and handed one of the cups to her. She hesitated for a moment and did not take it.

He silently watched her and then said slowly, “I’m sending you back tomorrow, and we probably won’t have many chances to meet again. This is my final wish. Won’t you grant it?” Hearing these words, she felt a pang in her heart for some reason. She stared at the cup of wine, and then she took it.

Seeing this, his brows finally relaxed, and then he slowly extended his arm, gesturing with his eyes. She had drunk with him like this before, but seeing this gesture now, her heart skipped a beat.

Then she wrapped her arm around his, quietly watching him tilt his head back and drink the cup of wine. His actions were decisive, and after finishing the wine, he placed the cup on the table. She followed his lead and drank hers in one gulp.

He looked at her, looking at the woman in her wedding dress. Her face was flushed from the wine, and the pendant on her hairpin swayed slightly with her movements, casting a shimmering light in his eyes.

At this moment, it felt as if they were truly married. Like a couple who had just tied the knot, like a long and beautiful dream. He lowered his gaze to look at her, clenched his wrist, and that feeling of unwillingness surged up again. The room was quiet, and the candlelight illuminated the profiles of the two of them. After a while, he looked into her eyes and slowly asked, “Have you ever been attracted to me?” There was a way to take her far away, but a person as noble as her should not be with someone like him who wanders in hell. But as long as she was willing now, he could take her away. He stared at her intently, seemingly waiting for her answer. However, in the next moment, the sound of hooves downstairs suddenly broke the silence of the night, replacing her response with the clash of swords.

Xie Xinglin furrowed his brows slightly and turned his head to look out the window. He saw Han Ming outside fighting against the soldiers. The enemy forces were numerous and had surrounded the inn. Han Ming was outnumbered, being forced to retreat while engaging in combat. He was buying them time.

At that moment, someone caught sight of this side of the window and shouted, “They’re upstairs!”

Xie Xinglin didn’t hesitate and embraced her waist. He originally intended to go out through the door, but as soon as he reached the door, a cold arrow shot towards them. His pupils contracted, and in that split second, the thought that crossed his mind was – if he dodged, the arrow would hit her.

So he didn’t evade and directly used his arm to block the arrow. The arrow pierced his arm, and crimson blood burst forth, accompanied by a muffled groan from him. Su Qiuge’s breath hitched as she watched the deepening red stain on his clothes. In that instant, her heart ached so much that she found it difficult to breathe. But he didn’t hesitate and ran towards the distance.

The pursuers behind seemed to realize that he was injured, and their attacks became more ferocious. Arrows tore through the air from behind, grazing beneath his robe. He must have liked this garment; he usually didn’t wear it when going out, but now it had been pierced with several holes.

Amidst the dense rain of arrows, Su Qiuge suddenly felt that these pursuers were extraordinary. They didn’t seem like the soldiers sent by Su Yuanzhou. The officials they encountered on the road before were extremely cautious, fearing to harm her in the process of fighting. That’s why they managed to escape safely for so long. But this time… these people seemed to care little about her life or death.

Countless thoughts flashed through her mind, thinking that someone might be using this opportunity to get rid of her. After all, she might have offended numerous people in the past. Xie Xinglin also seemed to sense that this time was different, and his movements became faster. This area was on the outskirts of the capital, and once they entered the inner city, it would be livelier, making it more difficult for the pursuing soldiers to catch up.

In the past, he would have been able to take her away smoothly. But now… he was bleeding all along the way. The faster he walked, the more blood flowed. His bloodstains marked their path, and his wounds grew deeper.

The sight of the blood falling into her eyes made everything in front of her suddenly feel so real. His embrace was so real, the sound of hooves behind them was so real, and his warm, terrifying blood was also so real.

His movements began to slow down, and the pursuers closed in. Finally, it seemed like he couldn’t go any further, and he fell into the dilapidated building while holding her.

When they landed, he took the impact on his back, ensuring that she didn’t suffer any harm.
