Recalling her initiative and infatuation last night, He Xi's cheeks flushed again.
She turned to the side, wanting to see the reassuring figure beside her.
But all around me was empty.
Only the lingering warmth on the other side of the bed remained, a testament to his presence.
The blush on He Xi's face faded instantly, replaced by a deathly pallor.
A huge panic gripped her heart.
He Xi sat up abruptly, ignoring the soreness in her body, and quickly dressed herself.
She looked around the tent in a panic.
That figure, always with a playful smile, is gone.
She rushed out of the tent, the blinding sunlight making her squint instinctively.
She ran all over the camp, asking every angel she encountered.
The answer I received was always a shake of the head.
No one saw Lin Ci.
He just disappeared without a trace.
A thought she dared not contemplate surfaced in her mind.
Has he really gone back to his own time?
There wasn't even a goodbye.
He Xi returned to the tent, looking utterly dejected.
It was empty inside.
She was alone.
A faint, familiar scent lingered in the air, but the figure had vanished without a trace.
She reached out and touched the other side of the bed, the icy touch shattering the last shred of hope in her heart.
After she gave everything, hoping to hold onto even a fleeting moment of his tenderness, he simply disappeared without a word.
He Xi swayed, a tremendous emptiness and the panic of being abandoned instantly gripping her heart.
She couldn't believe it.
That's unacceptable.
Just then, a familiar voice, so familiar it sent shivers down her spine, drifted out from inside the tent.
"came back."
He Xi's body stiffened abruptly, and she turned around stiffly.
Lin Ci stood there, watching her with a leisurely air, his face still bearing that playful smile that she both loved and hated.
It was as if he had never left.
He Xi's eyes instantly reddened, and all her grievances, panic, and disappointment turned into scalding tears at this moment.
She rushed over, hugged him tightly without hesitation, buried her face in his chest, and her voice broke with sobs.
"Where did you go... I thought you left..."
Of course, Lin Ci wouldn't tell her that he had secretly slipped out while she was asleep to go for a morning exercise with another little vixen.
He gently patted He Xi's slightly trembling back, his voice gentle.
"Before dawn, I went to inspect the army's defensive deployment."
This reason is impeccable.
He Xi sobbed, greedily inhaling the reassuring scent emanating from him, her tense nerves finally relaxing.
Lin Ci looked down at the silver-haired angel in his arms, who was crying her eyes out, and smiled slightly.
"Judging from your appearance, you must have suffered last night."
One sentence made He Xi's cheeks burn instantly, and she awkwardly pulled away from his embrace.
Lin Ci didn't give her a chance, and picked her up by the waist.
He Xi gasped in surprise as her body was lifted into the air, where he held her securely in a princess carry.
He walked slowly to the bedside and gently placed her back on the messy bed.
This sudden tenderness made He Xi's heart skip a beat.
However, Lin Ci's next words made her heart sink to the bottom.
"Take a good rest."
"I plan to leave today."
The blush on He Xi's face faded instantly.
She stared blankly at Lin Ci, her silver eyes, which had just been sparkling with moisture, gradually dimmed.
Although I knew this day would come.
But she didn't expect it to happen so quickly.
It happened so fast that it caught her completely off guard.
She neither cried nor tried to stop him.
She simply watched him quietly, and something was subtly changing in his silver eyes.
She suddenly stretched out her arms and hooked them tightly around Lin Ci's neck again, pulling him forcefully towards her.
She wanted to make the most of this last bit of time.
In this brief moment, time that belongs only to her.
In the heart of this god from the future, an indelible mark was left.
Lin Ci felt an irresistible force coming at him, and his body lost its balance.
He Xi pounced on him and pinned him down on the bed.
His long, silver hair cascaded down like a waterfall, brushing against his cheeks and carrying a cool, fragrant scent.
The light inside the tent seemed to become ambiguous as a result.
Lin Ci looked at the woman on top of him with some surprise, who seemed like a completely different person.
Her face, which was always full of intellect and composure, was now filled with a resolute determination and a touch of alluring daring.
"What are you doing?"
He Xi didn't answer, but instead gave him a captivating smile.
She extended a slender finger and gently pressed it against his lips.
Her voice was soft, yet it possessed an undeniable magic.
"Don't talk."
"Just enjoy it."
After she finished speaking, she lowered her head.
Lin Ci's pupils contracted slightly.
This little girl...
How do you know so much?
She's more comfortable than that cool girl who looks like a little succubus.
When night falls again.
The tent was already a mess.
The tables and chairs were overturned, notes were scattered all over the floor, and the soft bed was in complete disarray.
If you didn't know better, you'd think this place had just been through a war.
He Xi didn't leave the tent all day.
She used every means she could think of to frantically demand and frantically give.
She wanted this man to remember her.
Remember her body, remember her scent, remember everything about her.
The next morning.
He Xi slowly opened her eyes.
Every inch of my body still felt sore and weak from the intense pleasure.
She instinctively reached out, wanting to touch the warmth around her.
But it came up empty.
All around me was cold.
He Xi's heart sank suddenly.
But this time, she didn't rush out to search in a panic.
She simply lay there quietly, feeling the expected sense of loss.
She knew that this time, he was really gone.
She slowly sat up, her gaze inadvertently drifting to the table in the corner of the tent, which she had trophies.
Her research notes were quietly spread out there.
He Xi got out of bed barefoot; the soreness in her body made each step difficult.
She walked to the table.
The page in the notebook that was turned to was the one she had secretly drawn: Lin Ci's profile.
