Chapter 5 Vulnerability


The cold midnight wind rustled softly through the glazed windows, and the subtle points of light swayed in the quiet room, and the curvaceous blonde sat on the bed with her slender legs bent, and her white nightgown made her look like a lost angel, her eyes followed the swaying of the lights on the wall without focus, as if she saw a moth flickering its wings into the light on a summer day.

If you let those "relatives" who are far away in Danma or the imperial capital see her like this, they may rub their eyes and suspect that they have seen another person with a similar appearance but a different soul.

She has always had a calmness and strength far more than women of the same age, and while she is so beautiful that her heart is trembling, she also has the confidence and arrogance that can arouse the awe of others, and there are even some unbearable rumors in the aristocratic circle.

"As long as you are coldly looked at by Miss Furna of the house, even the most savage nymphomaniac will become a courteous gentleman" This sentence illustrates the behavior of Furna outside the town of Cooking, and even if it is not enough to discourage some people from pursuing the Ice Rose, so far only the Earl of White, who is said to be "extremely appreciated by the Emperor and has a bright future", has had a certain intimate connection with her through the relationship of Furna's family, although Furna has only been disgusted with the Earl from beginning to end, and the two have never breathed air in the same square meter of space.

Aunt Sophia has a very special meaning to her, this woman who regards her as her mother and sister is the only relative who did not despise her when she was a child, and still takes care of herself and her mother from time to time, even though she left Danma ten years ago, and has not been in contact with her much since then, but in her heart, she is the only relative in the world who can make her let go of her defense and open her heart.

Therefore, after arriving in Cooking Smoke Town, she slightly let go of the cold shell that she had maintained for many years, and tried her best to blend into the relaxed atmosphere that her aunt had created for herself.

Even though the initial effect is not obvious.

For example, Tang Yi, with only a slight contact, has already felt the obvious protective film on her body, with calmness and elegance as the appearance, rejecting everything that may touch and hurt her.

But at this moment she sat here like a newborn baby, having lost all her long-standing shell, with a faint sadness, as fragile as a fragile porcelain vase.

It was only in the middle of the night when no one was there, far from everything that had hurt, that she allowed herself to become so vulnerable.

Just for a moment, or an hour, she told herself.

Tomorrow morning, you will once again be the calm and graceful Furna, away from all sentiment and sorrow, and retreat to the cold place where you alone, for that is the only place that truly belongs to you Even if I feel so uncomfortable, if I have never felt such a suffocating feeling, if I have never looked forward to it, it will be much better.

But in any case, it will be the warmest place in my heart, once upon a time, I once had a crush on a boy in this peaceful town There was a soft sound of footsteps in the corridor outside the door, and a faint light soaked into the crack in the door.

She reacted, hurriedly got into the soft futon, and casually extinguished the white candle next to the bed.

"Auntie, I'm going to sleep" The footsteps stopped at the door, and Furna seemed to see the soft, helpless smile on the corner of the woman's lips outside the door, and then, the door was still pushed open.

A woman in goose-yellow pajamas walked in with the magic candlestick in her hand, and the magic stone on the candlestick was emitting a warm glow.

"I'm a seventh-level swordsman" The soft voice recounted the fact that any action in the room must have fallen into the perception of the other party as if it were seen in person.

The older woman placed the candlestick at the head of the bed, then reached into the futon and stroked her nightgown legs, finally pressing her hand on her cold slender feet.

"It's very cold, don't do it again in the future, if you don't cover the quilt, it's easy to get sick."

"Auntie" With her back to her caring relatives, unconsciously, a trace of choked throat floated in her throat, and she had not shown weakness in front of others for many years.

"Let's talk to me" Reaching out and extinguishing the candlestick, the woman took off her shoes by the bed, slept in the same bed as her, and gently hugged her slightly stiff body from behind, "Let's talk about Ah Yi." ” "Auntie" "That's a wonderful kid."

Ignoring the resistance in the other party's tone, the woman said to herself, "He has outstanding talent, but he is not pretentious or proud, he has a good cultivation, which shows that his background is not low, but he is not domineering, polite, sympathetic, he can even tolerate the entanglement of those children, he is almost a perfect gentleman, in the world I have been in contact with, I can't find a man who can compare with him, have you ever seen him?"

"Auntie, don't talk about it, okay?"

The people behind "Have you ever seen it" still insisted.

"Nope."

"So do you like him?"

"Auntie."

"Do you like it?"

"What can it be?"

a voice suddenly appeared in his throat like resentment and choked up, "Auntie, he has a wife."

"Yes, that seems to be the only drawback," the woman seemed to murmur, "but how about the Earl of White" The supple body, which had grown from stiffness to powerlessness, remained silent, not to think, but because the question itself was not worth answering, putting the names of the two men together, or just an insult that was unbearable for her.

"The answer is obvious, right, the earl No, this is not Danma, there is no need to use honorifics on him Compared to Ah Yi, that pig is not even as good as garbage.

Do you know that ten years ago, he even beat my idea, it was a man who was covered in a stench that people couldn't see but could constantly corrode the heart, and he couldn't get any salvation, but he didn't make a career at that time, and the family didn't take him to heart, he was fat like a bloated gourd, what is happening now?"

"Only fatter" After a slight silence, the woman made a brief comment in a disgusting tone.

"Poor Furna," sighed, and the Viscountess's hand stroked the woman's body mischievously, "If you marry him, you will be directly squashed on the bed by him with such a weak body."

"Heh" the woman struggled slightly, a smile escaped from her lips, what came to mind was the years more than ten years ago, a big and a small woman frolicking in bed, chatting and playing every night, that was the happiest period in her heart, even though she practiced magic during the day that she was not interested in, in order to win the recognition of the family and put in far more than ordinary efforts, when she returned home, she could only see her mother's eyes like death, but occasionally the arrival of this aunt who was eight years older than herself, But it was like a feast that excited her.

She remembered that in the last days, when there was already a marriage contract arranged by the family, the older woman still asked the little girl who was only eleven years old to refer to the candidate who could marry for herself, and they studied the information of a young man in the bedding every night, but the little girl's reference was not adopted at that time, and she finally married a viscount surnamed Richardson, who was evaluated by the little girl as "cold and eccentric, and ugly", after a series of arrangements and arrangements, She got rid of the pressure of her family through the power of the Light God Palace, and became a viscountess "as she wished".

Since then, they have not had the opportunity to play in the same bed.

It's just half a year later, the Viscount who was once reprimanded by the little girl as "cold and eccentric, and ugly" died on the battlefield, and after half a year, the still young and beautiful Viscountess left Danma, since then, the little girl finally lost the only source of warmth Ten years later, the little girl at that time naturally understood that her original opinion did not have any reference value, and at that time she was just criticizing everyone one by one, or today's Ah Yi appeared at that time, and she would also be denounced as "weak and incompetent and sissy" Useless men of it.

However, in any case, she still felt a little unbelievable about her original choice.

"Auntie, did you really love your uncle at the beginning?"

"Where everything can rise to love," the viscountess sighed, "At that time, I didn't have time to fall in love with anyone, and the reason why I chose him was only because of some relatively good feelings, not to mention that he was just a single person at the beginning, even if something happened to the family to anger, I also hope that it will not affect too many people, you know, at that time I was ready for all kinds of resistance" "There is no perfect thing in life, we can only choose the best possible outcome Verna, I was hoping that you could get a perfect ending, but the truth finally developed beyond my imagination.

But in any case, the things you can choose now are much more perfect than I was able to choose, these days, you should understand what kind of person Ah Yi is, what about his wife, you should understand, he is different from your father, he is a person who cherishes what he loves more than he cherishes himself, once he agrees with you, he will never let you be wronged in the slightest. ” This translation made Devrna silent for a while, and only after a long time did she say: "But he won't accept me, he said it, his most cherished person is his wife, how can it?"

"Well," said the Viscountess, smiling, "of course you have to seduce him first."

"W-what" "Don't be shy, a girl in her twenties doesn't know how to seduce the man she likes, it's frustrating.

Actually, there's nothing, as long as you have the first time, the rest of Ah Yi will do it, you know what I mean."

There was no sound in the room, and after a long time, I heard Furna whisper, "Auntie, I, I want to think about it."

After a while, she heard Furna say again: "Auntie, you also like Ah Yi."

"Well, of course, I don't have a reason not to like him."

"Then aunt, let's marry her together, so that I don't have to be afraid of his wife bullying me, auntie, do you say it's okay" "You little girl, you dare to tease me, I'm a swordsman, at such a close distance, do you still want to have room to resist, be punished obediently" "Hee-ha-ha, don't help, aunt, I don't dare, haha, I mean it" The room was filled with laughter, and everything seemed to go back to the night of ten years ago.

When the lost years are regained, I hope that the missing smile will also be regained.

A smile tugged at the corner of the Viscountess's mouth, and she hoped that you would be happy, just as I had lost the happiness I had lost The cold weather changed abruptly, it was a few days later, the temperature had a rare warmer, and at this time, Tang Yi came to the town and bought a few winter items that he felt lacking in recent days.

In the courtyard of the Viscountess, the three of them moved some precious flowers and plants into the greenhouse, because after the abnormal warming, it was followed by a sudden cooling.

The Viscountess has always been willing to do these things by herself, and the subordinates can often only watch from the sidelines.

The time was in the afternoon, and it was still a long time before sunset after finishing the work, and the viscountess wanted to invite Tang Yi to stay for dinner as usual, but he had never agreed before, because during his time here, Xiaoxue was still wandering alone outside the town, and of course he didn't agree this time.

However, compared to before, this time the viscountess was particularly persistent, and without waiting for Tang Yi to agree, she even sent Furna to go out to buy some delicious late autumn wild vegetables from the townspeople.

"Think about it outside, where you can't see him, calm down, think about what you need and what you don't need, I'll find a way to let him stay once, if you figure it out, I won't say it yet, you think about it" Saying this where Tang Yi couldn't see, the red-faced Furna was pushed out of the door by the Viscountess with a smile.

In the past few days, she has thought about what her aunt said countless times, but the conclusion still does not appear anywhere in her mind.

Walking on the mountain road in a distraught manner, she walked to Aunt Mary's house, where she usually went to the mountains to pick wild vegetables and sell them, and after asking, she learned that she was still on the mountain at this time, and it was estimated that it would take a while to return.

"Well, I'll go find her."

Smiling and refusing the hospitality of Aunt Mary's family, of course, she didn't notice the amazing and surprised expression on the other party's face, and she didn't know where to go, so she just subconsciously walked along the mountain road to the forest.

Suddenly, the child's screams were heard with the roar of the beast Something Before she could react, a chubby woman rushed out of the forest and went to the woods opposite, shouting, "What's wrong, little Donald" There was no answer.

The woman was Aunt Mary, and little Donald was her youngest son, and it was evident that something had happened to her in the woods.

Following the direction of Fang Cai's voice, the two of them hurried into the forest, and when they ran not far away, they saw the child who had fainted in the grass, and the strange silver-haired woman who was squatting beside him, dressed in clothes made of leaves, and holding a sharp and strange weapon in her hand.

"Ah" Seeing that the other party was dressed strangely and holding a murder weapon, Aunt Mary screamed, but she didn't dare to rush over, "What do you want to do Let go, let go of my child, you're not, you're not" The chubby fingers trembled and pointed to the silver-haired woman who had raised her head and looked nervously here: "You are a wolf girl, you are Miss Wolf Girl, aren't you a magician, please save my child, she is a wolf girl, she was caught once a few years ago, and then she was killed, this time she is here again, she is eyeing my child, Miss, please, save my child" The wolf girl in front of her shouted a few words that the two of them couldn't understand, then turned and fled, and at the same time, Furna's magic was also cast in an instant, and in an instant, countless thorny vines danced in front of her Probably because of the sudden change in the weather, Tang Yi had some diarrhea in the past two days.

I don't know why, the Viscountess, who has always been very talkative and reasonable, is a little strange today, even if she has moved out of the reason that "her wife is waiting for her at home", she seems to insist on having a meal here, of course she understands her hospitality, she has been to her house for so long, and she has never eaten a meal here, which is a little unreasonable.

But not this time, Xiaoxue is still waiting outside the town, maybe one day she should come here alone.

After refusing for a long time, his stomach began to feel uncomfortable again, but before he went to the toilet, he had already heard the sound of a commotion in the distance.

"What's the matter, forget it, I'll see it later" Tang Yiwei, who was holding the toilet door, was slightly curious, but his stomach immediately rebelled, and he hurriedly flashed in.

Looking at his embarrassed appearance, the viscountess was slightly amused, this person, sometimes he is terribly old, and sometimes he is indeed like a child.

No matter which one it is, it's a character that girls like.

Thinking of this, she was also a little curious about the movement outside, and walked out of the living room, where the townspeople were knocking on the iron door outside the manor.

Twenty minutes later, Tang Yi walked out of the toilet, washed his hands, and sorted out his clothes.

And in the living room was a rough wooden cage, and the thorny vines wrapped around the petite body, and the silver-haired woman lay weakly in the cage, still struggling, and the spikes scraped bloody wounds on her skin, which seemed to pierce his heart, and for a moment he stood there.

The sun brought chill from the approaching dusk, the wind ruffled the curtains, and the light flickered and danced on his face There is no perfect thing in life, we can only choose the best possible outcome, the Viscountess said so, but the words were still in the ears, and things took a turn in an unpredictable direction, and it seemed that even the best possible outcome was passing quietly It's just that at that moment, no one knew:
