Lord, your mask fell off

Chapter 1518 It hurts more when you see it with your own eyes
The night is slightly cool, the evening wind blows and the leaves rustle.

The moonlight is projected on the ground, elongating the shadow of the tree.

As time goes by, the shadow moves slowly.

Inside Yiwang Mansion.

In the elegant room, it should be full of charm, but at this moment, there is an eerie tranquility that cannot be dispelled.

When Xiao Hou and Pang Zhijing faced each other frankly, the spark of passion ignited was instantly extinguished in those elegant eyes.

Just because he saw large and small scars on that white Ruyu's body. Although they have healed, he can still imagine through the hideous scars how dangerous it was and how painful she was.

He straightened up, reaching out his hand to caress the right scar on her back.

Pang Zhijing, who was surrounded by fire just now, felt the temperature drop suddenly, opened her eyes involuntarily, and met his bewildered gaze instantly, she quickly guessed why he showed such an expression, Involuntarily pulling up the quilt to cover the scars on her body, she pursed her lips and turned her head, "Xiao Hou, don't look."

So ugly, don't look at it.

But the moment she grabbed the quilt, the back of her hand was covered by his hand, stopping the next movement, she was stunned, and looked up at him.

He said to her in an extremely gentle voice, "Quietly, let me see."

The voice was full of pity, but there was no disgust in the eyes.

Pang Zhijing slowly loosened the quilt, lowered her head, and her black hair fell from her temples, covering her face and revealing the large and small marks on her back.

Those who practice martial arts can see that those are scratches, some are as short as the nail cap, and some span the entire back, as if they want to cut off this beautiful woman in half. On the ground, there were various wounds again, and Xiao Hou's eyes were full of shock and regret.

He raised his hand and slowly stroked those scars, his voice suppressed his emotions, "Are these left by Luoya that day?"

"Well, fortunately there was an old tree under the cliff at the time, and I fell on it. I used the branches and leaves to cushion the impact. The scars on my back were scratched by the branches at that time, but these looked terrible, but they were not very serious. The more serious injury was that the hands and feet were smashed on the rocks on the ground, the arm was broken, the hamstring was broken, and the internal organs seemed to be displaced."

She didn't want to tell him at first, but in the future, the husband and wife will face each other day and night, and it will be difficult for him not to see it. It is better to tell him once, so that he will not be full of worries and fall into self-blame in the future.

However, she didn't know that she narrated these things so calmly, which made Xiao Hou feel even more uncomfortable, wishing he could suffer for her.

His hands touched her shoulders, her arms, her feet, and examined them bit by bit. Facing the lost and found lover, Xiao Biesheng was newly married, and at such a time of sincerity, It was supposed to be hard to hold back his affection, but he restrained himself, his eyes were not lustful, and he kissed those scars carefully and lovingly.

"Does it still hurt?" He caressed a scar on her ankle, and it was obvious that the hamstring was broken and reconnected, his heart twitched.

She shook her head, "It doesn't hurt anymore. It may have been numb from the pain at that time. There were injuries all over my body. I can't tell where the pain is. It feels like my body doesn't belong to me anymore."

After she finished speaking, she was pulled into a warm embrace, and she felt his fear, pain, and love and pity.

She knew that he would be like this as soon as she came back.

"Xiao Hou, I was sober a year ago, but do you know why I didn't come back until today?"

"Why?" He tightened his voice and asked in a low voice.

She leaned on his shoulder and said softly, "Because if I come back at that time, I'm afraid you will love me even more, so I plan to stay and recuperate well, and stand in front of you full of vigor again."

She pursed her lips, and her voice suddenly dropped, "But those days of recovery were so hard, and you were not by my side, I could only support myself. I was like a child, learning to walk step by step. After taking a step, my hamstring hurts like a knife is being cut. I gritted my teeth and told myself that if I don’t walk a thousand steps today, I will postpone seeing you for another day, so no matter how difficult it is, I will do my best to complete it. No matter how bitter the medicine is, I am not afraid of it, with the little ball and the memories you gave me, I feel that the bitterness is also sweet.”

This afternoon, he wanted to hear her talk about what happened in Medicine Valley, but she didn't give such details, and she didn't tell him how hard she had endured all the way.

He could imagine how painful it would be to reconnect a broken hamstring.Bones were broken, there wasn't a single spot in the back that was intact, let alone how painful it was.

But at this moment, he couldn't do anything, he could only listen to what she said, every word was like a knife cutting in his heart.

"Xiao Hou, I was not a strong-willed person in the past. I was always enthusiastic about everything I did. I always avoided difficulties when I encountered difficulties. I never thought of relying on my own strength to solve them."

Pang Zhijing spoke in a serious tone suddenly, making Xiao Hou look up at her in a daze.

"But since I met you, I have learned not to escape the true thoughts in my heart. It is you who gave me the courage to face all difficulties, and it is you who gave me hope for life. Otherwise, living like that would be worse than death." In a painful situation, I will not grit my teeth and persevere." Those pains cannot be described in words, but at this time, what she wants to share with him is her growth.

It was he who taught her how to love someone, and it was he who taught her that behind love is dedication.

"But in your most difficult days, I was not by your side." Xiao Hou caressed her face, eyes full of annoyance.

Pang Zhijing shook her head, "No, you are always with me, in my dream."

"In a dream?" He was surprised.

She nodded, "When I was pregnant with the little ball, I was still in a coma. There were many times when I was almost unable to hold on. I saw you appear in my dream, you took my hand, quietly Stay with me, I have strength, and sometimes I can see you, you can't see me, I see you depressed for me, I can't wait to walk in front of you and tell you, I don't allow you to do it for me Costing your life, maybe because of this, I have survived time and time again."

Xiao Hou was stunned, because in the past few years, the little rogue had appeared in his dreams countless times, and the two compared each other and found that their dreams were actually the same.

"It's incredible!" She couldn't help but widen her eyes.

When longing overcomes distance, everything will have a miracle.

Xiao Hou hugged her tightly, "Maybe it's God's intention to make up for the suffering we have suffered all these years!"

Pang Zhijing nodded. In fact, for those painful experiences that cannot be recalled,
She was even more glad that he was not by her side, because she didn't want him to see herself struggling on the verge of life and death. Seeing with her own eyes was more painful than hearing about it.

To her it was pain, but to him it was torture.

How could she be willing.
