Chapter 324: Wake Up
Lin Ze held the hilt of the sword tightly in his hand, as if it was his only support.
He used all his strength, his legs trembling, and struggled to support his bruised body.
When he finally staggered to his feet, he felt dizzy, but he suppressed the discomfort and tried to stay awake.
He slowly turned his head and looked around at the bloody battlefield with corpses everywhere. The smoke had not yet dissipated, and the air was filled with the disgusting smell of blood and death.
In this dead silence, only his lonely figure stood there, looking so small yet strong.
Lin Ze took a deep breath, dragged his feet as heavy as if they were filled with lead, and walked towards the distance step by step.
Every step he took felt like a heavy burden was pressing down on him, making his already weak body almost collapse.
But in his heart, there was always a fire of faith burning - not far ahead, the people and things he cherished were waiting for his return.
However, fate did not seem to let this tenacious warrior off easily.
After taking just a few steps, Lin Ze suddenly felt his vision go dark and the whole world began to spin.
Then, his legs were no longer able to support the weight of his body, and he fell forward to the ground and fainted.
His body had already exceeded its limits, and the thrilling battle just now almost drained the last bit of strength from him.
Time passed quietly while I was in a coma, and I didn't know how much time had passed.
Lin Ze finally woke up slowly and opened his heavy eyelids slowly.
What comes into view is a shabby and simple wooden house, with sunlight casting mottled light and shadows through the gaps in the roof.
He tried to move his hands and feet, but felt extremely sore all over.
Lin Ze gritted his teeth, endured the pain and struggled to sit up.
Only then did he realize that the hideous wounds on his body had been carefully bandaged. Although they still hurt a little, at least the bleeding had stopped.
Just as he was wondering who saved him, a familiar figure appeared at the door.
The man gently opened the door and walked into the house.
Lin Ze took a closer look and an expression of surprise and joy suddenly appeared on his face - it turned out that the person who came was the one he had risked his life to protect in that fierce battle!
The two looked at each other, and their eyes were shining with the joy of surviving the disaster and the infinite longing for a better life in the future.
No words are needed, everything is implied.
Seeing that Xueyao was safe and sound, Lin Ze finally felt relieved. He tried to prop himself up and stand up, but he felt dizzy.
"Don't move." Xue Yao hurriedly supported Lin Ze and said with concern, "Your injuries are not healed yet, you need to rest well."
Lin Ze nodded gratefully, his body trembling slightly, and with Xue Yao's gentle but firm support, he slowly lay back on the slightly crude but warm bed. His eyes, which had originally seemed a little dim due to the pain, were now staring at the beautiful and kind woman in front of him, his eyes filled with endless tenderness and affection.
"Thank you for saving me." Although Lin Ze's voice was soft, the sincere emotion contained in it was so clearly audible.
Every word seemed to carry his deep gratitude and dependence on Xueyao from the bottom of his heart.
"This is what I should do." Xueyao smiled slightly, as warm and moving as the spring sun.
Her bright eyes were full of concern and love. "How could I bear to abandon you when you suffered such serious injuries in order to protect me?"
Hearing this, Lin Ze couldn't help but reveal a knowing smile, and the two of them just looked at each other quietly. For a moment, the atmosphere in the whole room became relaxed and pleasant.
Then, as if they had opened up a box of conversation, they began to talk about their past life experiences, some of which were wonderful, some of which were difficult.
There are laughter and tears; there is joy when you succeed and there is frustration after failure.
However, no matter how the topic changes, they always listen attentively to each other and provide comfort and encouragement when appropriate.
As time went by, their communication became more and more in-depth, and Lin Ze and Xue Yao's hearts seemed to be pulled by an invisible thread, getting closer and closer.
They gradually realized that after going through this thrilling life and death test, the originally vague feelings between the two had quietly undergone a subtle and profound change.
In this small wooden house, two passionate hearts are moving closer to each other little by little.
Perhaps they will face many challenges and difficulties in the future, but at this moment, a new chapter belonging to them has slowly begun.
Night falls quietly, like a huge piece of black silk gently covering the entire earth.
The cold moonlight filtered through the window like water, quietly falling on the ground, forming patches of silvery white light.
Inside the house, Lin Ze and Xue Yao sat opposite each other, the soft light shining on their faces, and the two chatted more and more happily.
As the topic continued to deepen, they were surprised to find that they had so many common interests and hobbies.
Whether it is the love for classical literature or the fascination with the beauty of nature; whether it is the unique insights into music and art or the beautiful vision of future life, every common point is like an invisible thread, bringing their hearts closer and closer.
Time passed quickly without them noticing, and the night outside the window became darker and darker, but they were unaware.
It was not until the wall clock gave a clear chime that they woke up from their dream.
"Xueyao, it's really nice to chat with you!" Lin Ze's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a warm smile, his eyes full of sincerity and joy.
Hearing this, Xueyao's cheeks instantly flushed lightly, as beautiful as peach blossoms blooming in spring.
She lowered her eyes and responded softly, "Me too. No one has ever understood me like you do..." Although her voice was as light as a mosquito, the emotion contained in it was so sincere and deep.
Lin Ze couldn't help but reach out and gently grasp Xue Yao's soft, boneless little hand.
He could feel Xueyao's hand tremble slightly, but she did not break free.
So, he said in a gentle but firm tone: "Then can we chat like this often in the future?"
Xueyao raised her head, looked into Lin Ze's deep and burning eyes, and nodded shyly.
At this moment, her eyes were full of joy, as bright and dazzling as the stars twinkling in the night sky.
Their eyes met, and it was as if the whole world had stopped turning at this moment. They forgot all the noise and confusion around them, and were only immersed in each other's eyes.
In this quiet and peaceful night, two originally stranger hearts are gradually getting closer in an indescribable way, and a beautiful and romantic relationship is about to unfold slowly under the hazy moonlight.
