Chapter 95 The Hanging Gardens! Sister-in-law, don't be afraid. If we fall... we'll shatte
After a night of "turmoil," Tuoba Yu felt that he had lost all face in his life.
First, he was so scared by Qin Lie, that devil, that he almost wet his pants. Then, he was swindled out of 10,000 taels of gold by Qin Yue, that swindler, to buy a quilt. He wanted to go and investigate in the middle of the night, but ended up being poisoned by Qin An, that pervert, and became paralyzed!
"Ugh... ugh..."
Tuoba Yu, clutching the half of her face that was still slightly numb and uncontrollably crooked, stood at the elevator entrance, looking around in terror.
She wanted to leave. Immediately, right now, back to the grasslands! This Wolf Fang Village was no place for a human being! It was full of lunatics!
"Big sister, you're leaving already?"
Su Wan stood behind her, holding an exquisite hand warmer, her smile as gentle and harmless as a spring breeze.
"Seventh Brother was just joking with you last night. Look, after taking this antidote, you can stand up again, right? It's just that your mouth... it might still be crooked for a while, but it won't stop you from enjoying the scenery."
Tuoba Yu wanted to curse, but his tongue trembled and he couldn't utter a word, so he could only glare angrily.
"Since you're already here, you haven't seen the most amazing view in Genting Highlands yet."
Su Wan pointed to the ceiling, her tone carrying a hint of pride as the mistress of the house:
"If you don't even glance at the Hanging Gardens, wouldn't your ten thousand taels of gold for accommodation be a complete waste?"
……
The elevator came to a stop with a "ding".
The elevator doors slowly opened.
A fierce, violent wind, as if from the heavens above, suddenly howled in!
"call--!!"
Tuoba Yu subconsciously squinted and wrapped his leather armor tighter around himself.
When she opened her eyes again, she was completely stunned by what she saw.
Is this...heaven?!
Although it's actually only six stories high, the location of Langya Village is already high, and this unique design—
The entire rooftop terrace has no walls.
Instead, there are completely transparent, almost invisible glass railings!
Below you is a suspended abyss, in the distance are snow-capped mountains, and above you is the sky that seems within reach.
And amidst this icy and snowy landscape, red plum blossoms and cedars that bloom even in the bitter cold, along with winding, climbing ivy, have been planted everywhere.
This is simply a miracle!
"Click."
"Click."
Just as Tuoba Yu was stunned into inaction by the visual impact, a rhythmic, metallic shearing sound came from deep within the plum blossom forest.
A tall, slender figure stood on the edge of a cliff, his back to the wind and snow.
It's the second son, Qin Mo.
Unlike his brothers, he was neither rugged nor shrewd.
He was wearing a long, dark gray woolen trench coat with a crisp cut and a belt that was cinched at the waist, highlighting his lean and muscular physique.
His signature gold-rimmed glasses perched on his nose, with thin metal chains hanging by his ears, swaying slightly in the cold wind and gleaming with a chilling light.
He was holding a pair of silver gardening shears, pruning a red plum tree that was growing out of a cliff.
The movements were elegant and precise, yet they also carried an indescribable...coldness.
It's like dissecting some kind of artwork.
"Second Brother?"
Su Wan called out.
Qin Mo paused in his movements.
He slowly turned around.
Behind the glasses, the pair of narrow phoenix eyes first glanced indifferently at Tuoba Yu, whose mouth was crooked and eyes were slanted, before landing on Su Wan.
In that instant, the ice and snow melted.
But he didn't come over immediately; instead, he stood on the edge of the cliff and waved slightly.
"Sister-in-law, come here."
"This plum blossom is in full bloom, I want to pick it... and give it to my sister-in-law."
Su Wan smiled, lifted her skirt, and walked over there.
However, the wind here is too strong.
Especially near the edge, the wind there is so strong it could blow you away.
Su Wan was petite and slender to begin with, and she had only taken a few steps when a sudden gust of wind blew in!
"what!"
Su Wan exclaimed in surprise, stumbled, and fell uncontrollably to the side!
And that direction—was right in front of the transparent glass railing!
Visually, it looks like he's about to fall straight into an abyss!
"Hey!!" Tuoba Yu shouted in fright, instinctively reaching out to pull him back.
But someone was faster than her.
Qin Mo moved, but he didn't rush over as violently as Qin Lie, nor did he make a ruckus like Qin Yun.
He took only two steps forward, his leather shoes drawing an elegant arc on the snow.
Then—whoosh!
He suddenly opened the large, dark gray trench coat he was wearing.
It's like a giant black bird with its wings spread.
"thump."
Su Wan did not fall to the ground, nor did she hit the cold glass.
She stumbled into an embrace filled with the scent of books and ink, and the warmth of a body.
Qin Mo pulled his arms back.
The trench coat, still warm from his body, instantly closed up, completely enveloping Su Wan from head to toe!
The wind stopped.
The cold has disappeared.
In Su Wan's world, only darkness remained, along with Qin Mo's reassuring and steady heartbeat.
"Second...Second Brother?"
Su Wan was pressed against his chest, her cheek against the cashmere vest inside his trench coat, her nose filled with the cool, inky scent.
"Shhh."
Qin Mo's voice came from above.
Deep, magnetic, with a hint of husky rasping from the wind.
He did not take Su Wan back to safety.
Instead, he held her, wrapped her up, and step by step... continued towards the edge of the cliff.
Until the tips of their shoes touched the transparent glass.
Beneath their feet lay a void tens of meters high.
That intense feeling of weightlessness can be felt even with your eyes closed.
"Sister-in-law."
Qin Mo lowered his head.
He gently rested his chin on Su Wan's shoulder through the collar of his trench coat.
The cool lens accidentally touched Su Wanlu's exposed earlobe.
It stirred up a tingling, shivering sensation.
Are you scared?
He whispered in her ear.
The warm breath trickled into her ears, causing Su Wan's heart to skip a beat.
"I'm scared..." Su Wan's voice trembled, her hands gripping the lining of his trench coat tightly, her legs feeling weak. "Second brother, it's too high... let's go back."
"Don't be afraid."
Qin Mo chuckled softly.
His hand, through his trench coat, tightly gripped Su Wan's slender waist.
That force was astonishing.
It's like trying to break her back or to meld her into your own body.
"I'm here."
He stared at the abyss below, his eyes devoid of fear, only displaying an almost morbid, extreme madness and obsession:
"This trench coat is very sturdy, and my hands are very steady."
"As long as I don't let go... my sister-in-law will never fall."
As he spoke, he suddenly leaned forward.
The two of them are currently in a position that resembles a pair of conjoined twins hanging on the edge of a cliff.
"Second Brother!!" Su Wan screamed in fright, curling up into a ball and pressing herself tightly against his chest.
This moment.
The suspension bridge effect was pushed to its extreme.
My heart is racing, and my adrenaline is soaring.
Fear and dependence merged perfectly in that instant, transforming into a thrilling sensation that sent chills down your spine.
"My sister-in-law's heart is beating so fast..."
Qin Mo was very satisfied with her reaction.
He whispered in her ear, in a tone that sounded like reciting a love poem or reading a verdict, "I speak slowly."
"Actually... it's okay if you fall."
"It's so high up here... and the wind is so strong..."
"If we really fall..."
He paused, turned his head, and his lips brushed lightly against Su Wan's sensitive carotid artery:
Su Wan felt all the blood rush to her head!
madman!
My second brother usually seems so refined and gentle, how come he can be so terrifying yet captivating when he says sweet nothings?!
This kind of deep affection tinged with destruction, this possessiveness that risks one's life...
It's so powerful it makes your legs go weak and you can't stand up!
They could only completely and unreservedly depend on him and rely on him.
……
"They've gone mad...they've all gone mad..."
Not far away, Tuoba Yu had completely collapsed to the ground.
She looked at the man who was holding his sister-in-law in his arms, teetering on the edge of a cliff, and looking completely blissful.
That's not a person.
That's clearly a ghost in human skin!
"I'm not playing anymore... I want to go home..."
Tuoba Yu, with a mournful, crooked face, scrambled into the elevator using both hands and feet.
"There isn't a single normal person in your Qin family!"
"I'm not doing this business! I'm not taking this land!"
"Let me go back to herding sheep!!!"
……
He heard a noise behind him.
Qin Mo finally slowly turned around.
He didn't let go of Su Wan, still keeping her tightly protected inside his trench coat, only letting her two frightened eyes show.
He raised his hand and pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose with his slender fingers.
The lenses reflected a cold gleam in the sunlight.
"Take care, big sister."
Qin Mo smiled gently, his voice as warm as a spring breeze:
"We haven't seen all the scenery yet... Shall we come back next time?"
"I'm not coming! I'd rather die than come!"
Tuoba Yu scrambled into the elevator, frantically pressing the close button as if a demon was chasing him.
Until the elevator doors closed.
Qin Mo lowered his head and looked at the little woman in his arms who was still trembling.
The madness in his eyes vanished instantly, leaving only overflowing doting affection.
"Were you scared?"
He kissed Su Wan's forehead and tucked the freshly cut, most vibrant red plum blossom into her hair.
Don't believe that nonsense.
"How could Second Brother bear to let Sister-in-law break it?"
Even if it's going to shatter...
"It was also my second brother who acted as a human cushion for his sister-in-law."
"As long as my sister-in-law is clean and pure, standing in my second brother's heart, that's enough."
Su Wan looked up at him.
