466 All a Bachelor Dog could do was laugh foolishly (2/2)
She could clearly sense that his body exuded a coldness. The originally warm embrace was now as cold as an icy cavern.
But even so, she still stretched both her hands out to hug his waist. She hugged him tightly and did so with even greater strength, as if she was using all of her strength to merge his body into her own, or fuse into his soul.
Even though the blood-stained devil's hand was holding onto her shoulders forcefully.
Even though death might descend upon her at the very next moment.
Even so, she still hugged him tightly and passionately called out his name.
”Shi Xiaobai...”
Such an act was not about giving up her struggle, nor was it to search for the final warmth in life.
The reason why she did not attempt to flee but instead hugged him tightly was not because she believed that it was pointless to flee but because she trusted him.
She firmly believed in him and believed that even though he had transformed into an inhumane devil, he would not harm her.
Such a 'belief' filled the girl's emotions. One could call it simple-minded or one could also call it foolish.
Dawn naturally would not accept that she was a simple-minded girl, much less admit that she was a foolish nymphomaniac. Therefore, she had thought up of several logical reasons in a short span of time to give birth to that belief.
The objective clues were everywhere. For example—
For example, the crudely-made rope that was made from cloth was not torn. The rope was still tightly binding the two of them together.
For example, even in a bloody hell, even though there were hundreds, if not thousands of monsters ripped to pieces, she remained unharmed despite being the closest to him.
For example, the black beams of light were still shooting at them from every direction in an attempt to kill them, but the black beams were blocked by an invisible barrier, and the barrier had enveloped her within as well.
For example, the bloody hands that held her shoulders did not seem as cold and ruthless as they seemed on the surface. As its grip slowly increased in strength, it was also clearly trembling...
There were many objective reasons why he would not harm her, and all of that made her faith become ever more reliable.
However, the most important and most heart-felt reason was that in her eyes, he was definitely not a silver-haired devil.
It was just a slightly transformed—
”Shi Xiaobai.”
She gently called out his name in an impassioned manner.
She had never imagined that there would be a day she would fall head over heels for a particular boy. Even though she realized how incorrigible her infatuation was, she willingly gave up her reason and chose to immerse herself within it.
The her from yesterday would definitely mock the present her.
But the present her only felt sweetness in her heart.
He protected her at the cost of transforming into a devil.
The reason why she could open her eyes again and still remain alive was all because he had given his all to protect her.
It would definitely not be overstepping any boundaries to imagine what painful but touching stories had happened while she was unconscious.
And just a tiny bit of imagination would cause her sweet thoughts to completely drown the terrifying guesses.
Even though she realized that she was in an ocean of sugary-sweetness, or that her life might be devoured by that sweetness at any time...
Even though she was being naive and silly...
She would still choose to hug him tightly in a manner that she could not extricate herself from and passionately call out his name.
”Shi Xiaobai.”
She believed in him.
Even if he had transformed into a devil, he would definitely not harm her!
...
Herat slowly widened its eyes and watched the scene in front of it in disbelief.
The bloody hands that held the girl's shoulders did not rip the girl's body into two like it had expected. Instead, after trembling for a long while, the arms finally fell to the sides slowly and reached at the girl's slender waist before they gently hugged her.
The girl had hugged the devil tightly and the devil eventually returned it with a gentle embrace that should never have happened.
It was clearly a mindless and emotionless devil that was acting on instinct so why did that happen?
Or could it be said that gently treating the girl in his arms had also become an instinct of the silver-haired devil?
Or could it be said that the deep emotions of the girl had reformed the heartless devil?
Herat couldn't figure out the answer. Finally, it could only come to a conclusion—the greatness of love had created an unbelievable miracle.
”Woof!”
With that thought in mind, Herat could not help but give a howl that lacked savageness.
If it had a mirror in front of it, it would see the expression it had—it was a foolish smile that could not be any more foolish.
In front of it, in the 'hell' that was strewn with blood and minced meat, the golden-haired girl and the silver-haired 'devil' were hugging each other tightly. The black beams smashed incessantly into that invisible barrier as they constantly produced sparks. The monsters that surrounded them layer after layer trembled without approaching. They did not dare to disturb the girl and the 'devil' that was reveling in an embrace.
The setting sun's last light rouged a beautiful tinge to the firmaments.
The duo did not separate from their embrace as they waited for the impending night and the tomorrow that was no longer very distant.
In front of such a beautiful scene, the bachelor dog, Herat, could do nothing but laugh foolishly.IChooseDogLeading (我选择狗带) when read in Chinese sounds like I Choose Go Die. It was a meme that resulted from a former member of famous Korean boygroup, EXO, TAO (Huang Zitao). At a concert, there was a part in a rap that where he said ””, but due to a mispronunciation, it sounded like he will not easily choose to be led by dogs. This phrase now means 'I'd rather die/I choose death'.
