Quick Wear: Why did the male protagonist fall in love with the vicious villain again?

Chapter 566: Snow on the Desk of the Infatuated Alliance Leader (170)

The atmosphere at the Fire Festival was incredibly lively.

The sounds of strings and drums intertwined, creating a cheerful tune from the Western Regions.

Many people dressed in their finest clothes sang and danced around the bonfire.

Even strangers who can't dance will be caught up in the atmosphere and clap and cheer along with the rhythm.

A little further ahead, there were more than ten huge grills, with whole roasted lambs and large pieces of camel legs skewered on them. The meat on the grills sizzled and released a mouthwatering aroma.

People sat in twos and threes by the grill, waiting for the meat to be cooked.

Impatient, they added another handful of firewood to the fire, and the flames licked the firewood, making a crackling sound.

On the other side, Bai Chao was holding a silver cup, pretending to feed Jing Hengzhou a drink.

"Try this wine again, it has a very unique flavor."

Xiao Na couldn't stand it and deliberately made faces at them.

"Hey~ try this~ wine~ the taste~ is very unique~"

Bai Chao paused, then smiled and said, "Nu Xiaona, don't you think you're a bit superfluous here?"

Nu Xiaona patted the empty silver plate in her hand.

"Hmph, this is the most convenient place to get food. Lamb on the left, camel meat on the right, I'm not going to turn down good food!"

Jing Hengzhou lowered his head slightly and took a sip of the wine in his glass.

"Hmm, the wine is good."

Bai Chao's attention returned to Jing Hengzhou, and he swirled the wine glass in his hand.

"Did you taste anything special?"

"It smells like flowers."

You got it right!

Nu Xiaona rolled her eyes so hard they almost reached the sky.

They can get this sickeningly sweet just from drinking; I can't stand it.

A shout came from ahead: "The meat is ready!"

Xiao Na's eyes lit up, and she rushed over with the silver platter in her arms. Soon she returned with a full load of sliced ​​roasted meat.

"Hehe, they're all mine, I won't let you eat them."

Bai Chao leaned lazily against Jing Hengzhou's chest: "Nobody's going to take it from you."

Xiao Na turned around while holding the plate before stuffing herself with a large piece of meat. For some reason, she felt full just looking at the two people, and she had to eat with her back to them.

Just then, a cheer suddenly erupted from behind.

Xiao Na turned around and saw a group of girls dressed in red dresses and wearing veils. The girls were holding hand drums and dancing as they shook them.

Xiao Na exclaimed "Wow!" with excitement.

She quickly wiped her mouth, got up, and rushed towards the dancers.

Bai Chao nudged Jing Hengzhou.

Following Bai Chao's gesture, Jing Hengzhou looked towards the crowd.

The enthusiastic Xiao Na joined the girls' dance, spinning and dancing to the beat of the drums, her thick, black braids swinging in joyful arcs behind her.

The crowd cheered continuously.

Bai Chao smiled and said, "Most of the people living here are good at singing and dancing."

"Especially Nu Xiaona, she loves dancing with beautiful women the most."

Jing Hengzhou paused for a moment: "Achao, who is Nu Xiaona to you?"

"The maidservant assigned to me by the cult leader."

"A maid?" Jing Hengzhou's voice carried a hint of doubt.

Bai Chao looked up at him: "Doesn't it look like it?"

Jing Hengzhou spoke frankly: "It doesn't seem like it."

So far, from what he has seen of Nu Xiaona's behavior, she does not resemble a maid.

Bai Chao shrugged: "That's because this girl has no sense of hierarchy and is used to being disrespectful, so we just let her be."

"..."

Jing Hengzhou put his arm around Bai Chao's waist and gently pinched it: "Why do you spoil her?"

Bai Chao stroked his chin and pondered for a moment: "Maybe... I just thought of her as a younger sister."

Jing Hengzhou paused for a moment: "...Sister?"

"Yes, she's younger than me."

Bai Chao chuckled softly: "Don't let her carefree attitude fool you, she's very good at reading people's expressions and acting accordingly. She's incredibly clever. When I really lose my temper, she's the first one to run away."

"..."

Jing Hengzhou pulled her closer to him: "Yes, it's better for your little sister to be a bit smarter."

Bai Chao couldn't help but chuckle: "Is it bad if you're not smart?"

The force around his waist tightened, and the voice above him grew much deeper: "Not good."

"..."

Suddenly, the girl, who was sweating profusely from jumping, rushed over and pulled them up.

"Hey, stop being so lovey-dovey, let's do it together!"

Many people stood around the sacred flame, holding hands to form a circle.

"Come on!"

Xiao Na practically dragged them into the group.

Many more people joined in, spinning around to the beat of the drums, some even hitting the wrong beat, which brought laughter and cheers.

Jing Hengzhou didn't let the other person hold his hand, but instead grabbed the sword sheath. The people next to him didn't mind, laughing and joking as they invited others to join in.

Jing Hengzhou's gaze remained fixed on Bai Chao's face.

He looked at the man's blue eyes, which were not covered by an eye patch, and the relaxed smile on his lips.

Suddenly, I realized that Bai Chao's life here is happy and free.

There's no need to remind him of the time he was blindfolded.

This is probably the life this person wants...

Bai Chao suddenly turned his head, and a gold and red earring by his ear swayed slightly.

"Jing Hengzhou."

"..."

Jing Hengzhou subconsciously tightened his grip on Bai Chao's hand.

Bai Chao tickled Jing Hengzhou's palm, and when the man loosened his grip slightly, Bai Chao slipped his fingers between them, interlocking them.

"..."

Their fingers were tightly intertwined.

A bird's feather landed on my heart.

Where your gaze falls, you find peace of mind.

Suddenly, the crowd erupted in an even louder cheer.

"It's a divine eagle!"

Everyone looked up and saw that, without anyone noticing, a white-feathered golden eagle had appeared in the sky and was circling above the sacred fire.

That is the Holy Divine Eagle.

"Everyone, quickly pray!"

Everyone stopped what they were doing and clasped their hands together in prayer to the divine eagle.

A stranger asked, puzzled, "Why do you pray to it?"

"Because the divine eagle will carry our wishes to the sacred flame."

A clear, resounding cry echoed through the sky.

As the eagle swooped down, its outstretched wings swept across the flames, creating a gust of wind that sent the flames leaping even higher, as if in response to people's prayers.

Bai Chao tugged at Jing Hengzhou's sleeve.

Aren't you going to make a wish?

"A wish made at this time will surely come true."

Jing Hengzhou looked into Bai Chao's eyes: "Okay."

Bai Chao reminded him, "Make a wish with your eyes closed."

Jing Hengzhou obediently closed his eyes and made a wish in his heart.

His only wish was to never be separated from his beloved again in this lifetime.

When Jing Hengzhou opened his eyes again, he was suddenly stunned.

The eagle that was just in the sky now folded its wings and obediently stepped onto Bai Chao's arm.

Bai Chao smiled and said, "See, it says it will grant your wish."

With a jerk of his arm, the divine eagle once again spread its wings and soared into the sky.

The crowd cheered once again.

A gentle smile appeared in Jing Hengzhou's eyes: "Thank you for your kind words."

Bai Chao moved a little closer: "Can you ride a camel?"

"I haven't ridden it yet."

"I teach you."

"it is good."

After Xiaona made her wish, she turned around and saw that the two people who had been beside her were gone again.

She rolled her eyes and went back to eat her barbecue.

Because it was the Fire Festival, torches were placed along every road, and the firelight illuminated every road very clearly.

A white camel strolled slowly along a secluded path, leaving only the sound of friendly conversation on its hump.

"You also don't consider yourself a person from the Western Regions?"

"When they found me, they weren't sure where I was from, but because one of my eyes was blue, they assumed I was from here."

"I see."

"Outsiders find my eyes strange. Do you feel the same way?"

"No, it's beautiful."

Jing Hengzhou lowered his head and looked into Bai Chao's blue eyes.

This blue gemstone, which I had once wanted to keep to myself, shone brilliantly in the firelight, its beauty beyond compare.

Jing Hengzhou gently stroked Bai Chao's cheek, leaned slightly, and tenderly kissed his lips.

The firelight cast long shadows of them, which fell on the grass and intertwined, making them appear even more intimate.
