C1 (1/2)

”A bride paints a picture of an Emei, and every frown and smile enters my eyes.”

”How can I forget my bride's red cheeks?” A strange voice filled with endless sorrow sounded out, and the wooden door opened with a creak.

I tightened my grip on the quilt, feeling as if my body was bound by something.

Then I half opened my eyes and felt a deep sense of exhaustion. I tried to speak and scream, but no matter how much I screamed, there was no sound coming out of my throat.

Suddenly, a pair of strong hands lifted me from my back.

In the dim light, I seemed to see a tall and handsome man wearing red clothes embroidered with large joy characters.

His eyes were warm, and he was smiling.

I lowered my head awkwardly, but didn't expect that I would be dressed in something that was extremely similar to that person's attire. It was bright red in color, like a wedding dress dripping with blood, with complicated and exquisite patterns embroidered on it.

I opened my mouth to speak, but the cold softness clamped it to my lips.

I started, then felt a light bite on my lower lip. I opened my mouth involuntarily, and a soft, cold tongue slipped into it.

This kiss was about to end his life.

When the kiss was over, and my eyes were still fixed on him for a few moments, I noticed that my hands were on his shoulders, and his hands were on my waist. The fabric was thin, so thin that I could feel the cool heat of the hands. He couldn't help but blush and lower his head, but he still couldn't help but peek at the man like a newly-wed bride.

The man in my line of sight was still as handsome as ever, but in an instant, the man in front of me suddenly had his eyes turn blood-red, his face as pale as paper, and his body emit a cold aura that was ten thousand times colder than before. The fingernails on his hands started to grow crazily, and I panicked.

When I opened my eyes, I found myself lying on my bed, my head drenched with cold sweat.

After confirming that it was just a dream, I relaxed. Remembering the man in my dream, I was not shocked. Not only did I kiss an unfamiliar man, I even acted like I was a newly-wed girl. I felt really ashamed of myself.

At the beginning, I didn't think that the man would turn out to be like that. I was both guilty and afraid, on the one hand, it was because I was feeling guilty because of my boyfriend who was good to me — Yun Yife. When we were together, we had only held hands, and never acted as close to each other as we would in a dream.
