Chapter 4.1

A Woman’s Fragrance (4) – “So You Will Also Be Confused By Skin Appearance”

The hole in the ground was very deep. Gusts of cold wind blowing upward, interspersed with a shivering dampness, and this inverted spring cold in March seemed extraordinarily cold.

Li Ruo Shui was cold and frightened, one hand clinging tightly to his neck, and the other hand unconsciously probing into his torn garment, trying to absorb his heat.

Just when she was worried that she would fall to her death, Lu Zhi Yao’s hand wrapped around her waist, and the long sword in his hand was inserted into the side, making a long mark before they finally slowed down.

Li Ruo Shui calmed down her unsettled heart and sighed inwardly, feeling fortunate that the one she grabbed was Lu Zhi Yao. If it was someone else, wouldn’t she fall into pieces of cake?

After hearing that Li Ruo Shui’s heartbeat calmed down, Lu Zhi Yao suddenly smiled lightly, and with a strong hand, he jumped upward with Li Ruo Shui in his arms, and then fell and stepped on top of the long sword that was still inserted into the side.

The sword under his feet was not too firm, and Li Ruoshui held Lu Zhi Yao’s garment tightly, afraid that the sword would not be able to hold the two of them if they moved too much.

The cold wind with thick water vapour constantly blowing up from the bottom of the hole, making a whirring sound, lifting the corners of their robes, and the blowing made them full of spirits.

“Guess what will happen if we just jump off like this?”

Li Ruo Shui glanced down, there was only endless darkness, she could not see anything clearly, and she could not determine how deep it was.

“We will fall to our death.”

Lu Zhi Yao was interested, the clear sound echoed in the hollow, bringing an inexplicably touch of warmth.

“Then did we fall to death in your dream?”

She did not know whether she was dead or not in the original story, but anyway, Lu Zhi Yao and the other two main leads were definitely not dead.

“No, but that’s because we cherished our lives, and if we mess up now, we will die for sure.”

She said this just to let Lu Zhi Yao take it easy, but she did not expect to suddenly make him excited. She could not see his expression, but could hear a trace of madness from his smiling words.

“I’ll cherish my life?”

He could not help laughing, as if he could not restrain it, from a low laugh at the beginning to a loud laugh later, causing body vibration which made Li Ruo Shui, who was leaning in his arms felt numb in her ears.

“Why don’t we try and see if your dream is more powerful or the reality is more powerful.”

He wrapped his arm around Li Ruo Shui’s waist and suddenly swayed. She was so frightened that she quickly held onto one side of the wall and grabbed his collar stronger to prevent herself from falling down from here.

“Wait, wait, young man, don’t act impulsively!”

Lu Zhi Yao held onto the side of the wall, somehow managed to balance, and led her to step on the long sword then sway back and forth, they never fell.

Li Ruo Shui was forced to sway in the air, and the movement of the sword under her feet strangely reminded her of the seesaw she played with when she was a child.

His raised long hair brushed through Li Ruo Shui’s forehead, gently and softly, and then his laughing tone echoed in the dark hole.

“Afraid? Then tell me why you kept staring at me just now.”

Li Ruo Shui was a little frantic at this point. So in the end he did such a dangerous move just to ask this question!

“I’m looking to see if there is any mechanism behind you.”

“Liar.” He said immediately.

Li Ruo Shui was helpless. She knew that his senses were sharp, but she did not expect to be so sharp.

There was a moment of silence between them, when Lu Fei Yue’s anxious voice suddenly transmitted from the top of the hole.

“Miss Li, Mr Lu, are you alright?”

Li Ruo Shui breathed a sigh of relief, and replied to her as well: “It’s okay, we are just stuck in the middle, trying to figure out a way to get down.”

She licked her lips, her heart was a little nervous: “Why don’t we think of a way to go down first, and I’ll tell you.”

Lu Zhi Yao sighed softly, let go of the wall and the shaky long sword was slightly inclined again.

“Wait, wait!”

It seemed that if she did not give a convincing reason, she would just fall down like this. Wasn’t he too stubborn?

Anyway, it was just the two of them here, she could say anything.

“I couldn’t help staring at you because you are good-looking, sorry.”

It did not matter if this statement was false, but the shameful part was that it was true, she was really dumbfounded by his appearance.

Lu Zhi Yao paused for a moment, then what rang in her ears was his uncontrollable laughter, he did not expect such an answer.
