绝代双骄 林志颖

“Badump” “Badump”.

Ge Xiu’s breath choked in his throat.

For a moment, his mind went blank.

The smooth golden lines on the opponent’s body blinded his eyes and gradually only the chaotic heartbeat remained in his ears. The scorching heart in his hand and his own were beating at a completely different rhythm, like the melodies of two different tracks intersecting each other, gradually becoming discordant.

It took Ge Xiu a moment to realize that the other voice was coming from his chest.

“Let go.”

My own voice seemed distorted as if it was coming from a very far away place.

The dragon was taken aback.

He raised his head slightly, and looked at Ge Xiu with a pair of golden-red vertical pupils in surprise, as if he couldn’t understand what he was talking about for a while.

Ge Xiu felt a burst of uncontrollable anger rising from his heart.

Just like a little spark suddenly falling on a dry haystack, the fire burst out in an instant, setting a whole prairie on fire.

He caught the other’s neck with his free hand, his eyes were red with anger as he said fiercely:

“Why the hell are you always like this?”

Ge Xiu’s brain was buzzing in anger.

“Sacrifice sacrifice…” His body trembled slightly with anger: “Sacrifice your ass!”

The dragon was stunned.

He blinked blankly, his brain was a little overwhelmed.

This… was the other party talking about himself?

It seemed to be, and it seemed not to be?

Ge Xiu knocked on the other person’s forehead heavily, and said angrily: “You are so stupid, how could it be you who burned down the country? Do you think I am as stupid as you?”

The dragon was knocked dizzy by him.

He stared back at the young man in front of him blankly, apparently his brain hadn’t started to work yet, looking very dumbfounded.

Ge Xiu took a deep breath.

He raised his hand, inserted his fingers into the other’s hair, and then exerted force to pull the dragon closer.

Ge Xiu closed his eyes forcefully, then raised his eyelids, stared at the man’s golden red vertical pupils, and said word by word, through gritted teeth:

“If I doubted you, you would have died long ago.”

His voice was freezing, like a sharp blade with a cold glint, so that with one strike only blood choking throat would show: “If you turn against me, I will tear off your wings, flay your skin, stab my hand into your chest, dig out your heart, liver, spleen and lungs, whether you are a dragon or any other living being, understand?”

At that moment, Ge Xiu didn’t know who he was talking to.

Whether it was the dragon in front of him, or the man hidden under this skin.

Ge Xiu didn’t even know…

whether he was speaking to the present him or to the future him.

It was the first time he had confessed his trust.

——If you betray my trust, I will make you pay.

This was a fierce concession, but also a vicious show of weakness.

Strength of Ge Xiu’s fingers increased a bit, as if only in this way could he vent his inner anger and conceal his vulnerability.

The giant dragon stared dazedly at the face of the boy who was close at hand.

He didn’t listen to most of the content carefully, but he keenly grasped the key points of the other party’s words—

he… didn’t seem to believe what the wizard said.

A light flashed in his eyes, and the dragon’s facial features instantly brightened up with the fire of hope. He held his breath, and asked cautiously, “Then, do you believe I didn’t do it?”

Ge Xiu reluctantly nodded.

The dragon’s eyes brightened again: “Really?”

Ge Xiu: “…”

He narrowed his eyes dangerously, and repeated slowly: “Let go, hand.”

The dragon finally let go of his fingers and relaxed a little bit He suppressed the strength of the opponent’s wrist.

Ge Xiu lowered his head, glanced at his palm deeply sunk into the opponent’s chest, then took a deep breath, raised his head again, and asked, “I, that, can I pull it out?”

The dragon nodded:

“Um.”

After getting the other party’s approval, Ge Xiu slowly, inch by inch, pulled his hand away from the other party’s left chest.

He moved as steadily as possible— from the end of the palm, to the center of the palm, to the root of the finger, to the pad of the finger, to the tip of the finger…

The lines on the man’s upper body flashed, and then dimmed.

Seeming as if his whole body strength’s suddenly drained, he fell down uncontrollably.

Ge Xiu couldn’t dodge in time and was crushed down by him.

The high temperature on the opponent’s body came close skin to skin, the scalding heat made him stiffen in an instant. He subconsciously put his hand on the other’s shoulder and suddenly lifted the man’s heavy body off his body.

——The man’s heavy body hit the ground.

Ge Xiu was startled, turned over and got out of bed.

On the man’s honey-colored skin, the golden-red meandering totem was a little fuzzy and the scales on left part of the chest had not yet dissipated. In the gap between the scales, there was still some shining light, where a magma-like liquid seemed to be slowly emerging, emitting white smoke into the air. A fist-sized scar was burned exactly where the other’s heart was, looking particularly shocking on the smooth skin.

Ge Xiu frowned: “Were you injured?”

The dragon nodded, his face was extremely pale.

The chest was the weak point of all dragons. The dragon’s heart contained the vitality of the dragons and it was also the source of their deadly flames. Therefore, the scales in that place were also the most difficult to penetrate. However, if the scales were scraped off, then any attack aiming at that place would cause great damage, affecting entire body.

Ge Xiu sneered:

“Well-deserved.”

He jumped off the bed and walked around the other side.

The giant dragon stared at the his leaving back with some disappointment, and wondered in his heart whether he had gone too far this time.

However, Ge Xiu stopped before taking a few steps.

He turned his head and asked with in a bad mood: “What do you need to look for?”

The dragon was slightly taken aback.

Ge Xiu frowned impatiently: “What do you need to heal your wound?”

.

Finally, under the guidance of the giant dragon, Ge Xiu dug out a few shiny gems from his cave. The magic gems could effectively repair the wounds on the dragon, but they couldn’t restore the displaced and lost scales, so he could only wait for them to recover slowly by themselves.

So, he picked some medicinal herbs from outside the cave and smashed them to cover the hideous looking wound.

Immediately afterwards, Ge Xiu skillfully tore the sheets into long strips, wrapped the cloth strips around the opponent’s back, and wrapped him with simple bandages layer by layer.

The giant dragon lowered his eyelashes and stared at the face of the opponent who was close at hand.

Some kind of emotion that hidden so deep that it was difficult to disperse was flowing at the bottom of the eyes. The golden red vertical pupils were affectionate and warm, as if there was a burning flame imprisoned in the pupils, eager to be released and explode, swallowing the two at the same time, melting both of them together until they no longer could be separated.

Ge Xiu’s hand tensed up.

At that moment, a hoarse moan came out from the dragon’s throat.

Ge Xiu raised his eyes and glanced at him coolly: “Hurts?”

The dragon nodded honestly.

“It still doesn’t hurt enough.” Ge Xiu added more force.

The corners of his lips had risen again, revealing a harmless smile, but those blue eyes were cold, it was obvious that the lingering anger had not dissipated.

The giant dragon knew he was wrong and fell silent aggrievedly.

It took a few minutes for Ge Xiu to finally wrap up his wound.

He breathed a sigh of relief and slowly sat up straight.

However, before he could completely open the distance between the two of them, he felt that his wrist was being grabbed by the other party. At that moment, Ge Xiu lost his balance and fell forward suddenly, falling straight onto the other’s chest.

The dragon opened his arms and held him tightly in his arms.

Ge Xiu: “…let go.”

The giant dragon buried the tip of his nose in his scattered blond hair, and his senses were full of the warm and fresh sunshine smell coming from the youth, so he tightened his arms stubbornly: “Won’t let go.”

Bone wings covered with pitch-black scales unfolded from his back, and then slowly folded, wrapping the two of them in semi-black shadow.

“…” Ge Xiu struggled a little.

Can’t break free.

In the end, he was still concerned about the unhealed wound on the other’s body, so he didn’t dare to make too much movement, leaving him imprisoned in the opponent’s arms unwillingly.

The icy tail poked out quietly, and slowly wrapped around the young man’s slender waist, wrapping tightly once and twice.

Ge Xiu: “…”

Get an inch and take a mile!

The giant dragon hugged the body in its arms, the curves of the two bodies fit each other perfectly, the other was perfectly embedded in his chest as if they were a match made in heaven. A cautious kiss fell on the warm neck.

Ge Xiu froze.

Under the cover of the other’s wings, all light sources from the outside world were blocked, leaving only the blurry sensations.

He could only hear the other party’s shallow and hot breathing and the surrounding scorching body temperature of the other, that kind of almost enclosed space seemed to amplify all the reactions of the body without any scruples, letting him sense every detailed movement from the other’s body—from the rise and fall of the chest, to the tensed up the muscles, to the beating of the heart.

Ge Xiu’s body gradually relaxed.

He sighed, and asked helplessly,

“What do you really want?”

The dragon said, “You don’t want me to die.”

He could clearly feel that the fingers deeply sunk into his chest had not trembled or quivered not even for a moment— every muscle was completely restrained by strong willpower, maintaining an absolute stillness with an almost terrifying incredible self-control, even the physiological twitching was kept to minimum —from the beginning, to the end.

He was restraining his movements.

To the greatest extent possible, all to reduce the damage to his heart.

Even in the process of pulling away, he was steady and careful, as if he had been worried about hurting him.

The dragon lowered his eyes.

He took a deep breath, and asked cautiously,

“Then… can I have the idea that you also like me a little bit?”

Ge Xiu was taken aback.

At that moment, the dragon was even more nervous than when his heart was held in the other’s hand.

His mind was filled with chaotic thoughts, as if he was waiting for the final verdict.

The giant dragon stammered and added clumsily:

“It… it doesn’t need to be much, just a little.”

Ge Xiu fell into silence.

After a long time, he raised his hand, embraced the other party, and sighed:

“…Stupid dragon.”
