――Okay, I promise you.
After weighing it over and over again, Xia Nuo agreed to the holy tree.
Just like what the man said, if the request of the holy tree is not a pardon on the secular level, and does not violate any public order and good customs, Xia Nuo can’t think of a reason why he should reject it.
The moment he agreed, the leaves on the sacred tree automatically made a rattling sound without any wind, and people could feel its joy without words.
The voice of the holy tree also sounded a lot lighter, and said as if relieved: “So, under the witness of you and me, the contract is established.”
A dark green band of light stretched out from the top of the branch, wrapping around his wrist as if in substance, and a moment later, a dark green leaf pattern appeared on Xia Nuo’s white wrist.
The shape of the leaves is exactly the same as that of the sacred tree, but it has been shrunk several times. It looks exquisite and small and exudes a mysterious atmosphere.
Under Xia Nuo’s gaze, the pattern lit up, the light white light flowed, and the leaves stretched out as if they had been infused with life force. After a while, the colour changed from thick to light, and after a few minutes, it had completely disappeared, and there is not even a trace of its existence at all.
He couldn’t help raising his head, and for a moment, he seemed to see a light-coloured pattern appearing on the holy tree, but the pattern disappeared too quickly, and he didn’t see it clearly.
I just vaguely feel that it seems to be a huge circle?
“Did you see the pattern on the sacred tree?” Xia Nuo turned to look at the man beside him.
If he guessed correctly, that pattern must be related to him.
“No.” Unexpectedly, the man shook his head, hiding the complicated emotions in his eyes, “This is a contract between you and the holy tree, and no one else can participate, or even watch.”
“Is that so?”
Even so, Xia Nuo still couldn’t forget the pattern he saw at a glance. He always felt that the pattern had a very important meaning to him.
It was as if someone repeatedly said it in his ear, and it was deeply engraved in the depths of his soul so that whenever and wherever he saw it appearing in front of him, he would immediately realise its importance.
But what kind of meaning does it represent, Xia Nuo can’t tell.
The voice of the holy tree called him back to his senses at the right time: My dear patron—after the contract was established, it began to call Xia Nuo with a more intimate name—I have fulfilled your wish. Your teammates have now left the forest and returned to their original residence.
“So fast?” Xia Nuo was very surprised.
It’s only been less than ten minutes since he signed the contract with the holy tree, right?
In such a short period of time, the holy tree rescued Shi Xue Li and the others, and sent them back?
But in this way, it becomes more and more strange that there is a proliferation of pythons.
With the power of the holy tree, why are they so… indulged.
Xia Nuo felt that connivance was not an exaggeration to describe the attitude of the holy tree.
But before he asked, the holy tree said: It’s getting late, I’ll send you away.
“Wait wait wait–“
Xia Nuo’s unspoken words got stuck in his throat, and countless vine-like branches wrapped him up, and Xia Nuo felt as if he was locked in a cramped and narrow room.
Eyes full of lush green, Xia Nuo suddenly had an inappropriate thought: Is this… the legendary ‘Little Black House’? No, it should be called ‘Little Green House’ more appropriately…
After putting aside the initial panic caused by the sudden action of the Holy Tree, Xia Nuo quickly calmed down.
There was the whistling wind in his ears, and he could feel that he was heading down the mountain at an extremely fast speed.
In the ‘cage’ built by the branches of the holy tree, it was strange that Xia Nuo was surrounded by a sense of security as if returning to his mother’s womb, his mind was completely empty, and he didn’t think about anything. A deep tiredness hit him, and his eyes slowly closed.
——Like a fetus curled up in a mother’s womb peacefully sinking into sleep.
Zhou’er, who had been waiting outside the forest for a long time, suddenly stood up.
As far as the line of sight could see, the shadow of the man came out of the forest slowly.
A teenager was sleeping peacefully in his arms, and the man cherished his posture very much. The man lowered his head and looked at the boy in his arms tenderly, as if he held the whole world in his arms.
……
When he woke up again, Xia Nuo was still a little dazed. He blinked and asked as if he couldn’t figure out the situation: “Where are we now?”
The boy who just woke up had a confused face, his eyes were still foggy as if they had been washed, and they looked soft and bright. He would dig out his heart without hesitation and offer it with both hands, okay?
His rationality had sounded the alarm, the influence of the young man on him was too great, but his emotions were unmoved, allowing him to continue to sink.
“We’re on our way back now.” The man came back to his senses and answered him like this.
It was the same car when they came, and Zhou’er was driving outside. The wild cat’s running speed was not as fast as when they came, and the car was driving in the wilderness at a relatively slow speed.
Xia Nuo slowly woke up, only to realize that he was currently pillowing on the man’s lap, his body occupying most of the space in the car.
Compared with him, the man seemed to be squeezed into a corner by him, he could only bend his legs pitifully, and his posture looked very awkward.
“No, I’m sorry, this must be very uncomfortable, right?” Xia Nuo quickly apologized, he sat up and heard the man make a ‘hiss’.
Seeing the guilty look in the young man’s eyes, the man said pitifully in a low voice, “My legs are numb.”
Was it numb because of me?
Xia Nuo couldn’t help but widen his eyes, feeling even more guilty in his heart, he asked tentatively: “Then let me give you a massage?”
It was as if the events of the afternoon were repeated, but with the roles completely reversed.
The man naturally agreed, or that was his purpose from the beginning.
With his consent, Xia Nuo carefully put his hand on it, and vaccinated the man in advance: “I have no experience, and I may not know the severity of the attack. You should be more patient.”
The man’s throat rolled, and his voice was a little hoarse: “Come on.”
As soon as he put his hand on it, he felt the muscles in the man’s legs tense, and he couldn’t help saying, “Relax.”
After finishing speaking, he felt that the muscles under his hands relaxed slowly, not as tense as before, and Xia Nuo started his massage work.
However, he didn’t know any skills, so he recalled the techniques the man had used before, Xia Nuo squeezed his strength, and kneaded from top to bottom, back and forth.
Pressing and pressing, he was unconsciously distracted.
The shape of the man’s calf was extremely perfect, and there was hardly any hair on his legs. I don’t know if it was due to illness, but his skin was as white as transparent as if carved from a whole piece of white jade.
Xia Nuo’s strength couldn’t help but lighten up a bit, he always felt as if he would leave deep marks on it as soon as he exerted his strength.
But it turned out that he was overthinking. The man’s skin looked fragile, but it was actually not that vulnerable. After rubbing it over, there was not even a trace of a mark on it.
After pressing it for a long time, Xia Nuo suddenly realised that he had never heard the man’s feedback.
He raised his head, only to see that fine beads of sweat had already formed on the man’s forehead, his eyes turned an extremely deep dark blue, and he was staring at him without blinking.
“Is it really uncomfortable?” Xia Nuo stopped his hands angrily, “Does my massage have no effect at all?”
“Of course not.” The man raised the corners of his lips, “Thanks to you, it’s not uncomfortable now.”
But he has to say that this process was really a sweet torment for him.
The young man’s warm and soft fingers twitched deftly on his skin, and his downcast gaze was cute and pure, every touch is like a feather scratching his heart, making him itchy and unable to extricate himself.
The most important thing is that at this moment, the teenager’s attention belongs to him completely, and he is the only shadow in his eyes. In this small and quiet space, it seemed as if there were only the two of them in the world.
……
The wild cats stopped slowly, and Zhou’er raised his voice and told them loudly: “It’s here.”
They got out of the car but saw an unexpected figure.
The village chief was leaning on an African safflower pear wood cane. When he saw them getting out of the car, he immediately put a smile on his face: “You are finally back. The other brave men were injured and are being treated now. See I am so relieved that you are safe and sound.”
But Xia Nuo’s attention was completely attracted by the young man standing beside him, the blond young man’s eyes were full of his shadow, and he showed a shy smile at him: “Chang An, I came here specially to find you.”
Came here to find me?
Xia Nuo looked at this young man who had only met once on the train and frowned suspiciously.
The man got out of the car after Xia Nuo and naturally saw the young man.
Hearing this, he raised his eyes to look at the young man, and then stood beside Xia Nuo in an incomparably intimate manner, and asked calmly, “Chang An, who is this person?”
――Okay, I promise you.
After weighing it over and over again, Xia Nuo agreed to the holy tree.
Just like what the man said, if the request of the holy tree is not a pardon on the secular level, and does not violate any public order and good customs, Xia Nuo can’t think of a reason why he should reject it.
