Chapter 65 Touch

The violent concussion of the sea of ​​mental strength made the head feel dizzy all the time, the body ached and hot, but accompanied by an unspeakable fullness, it was too full, as if the whole body was stretched out, Jiang Ran gritted his teeth After persisting for a while, he finally passed out.

Jiang Ran was not completely unconscious, she just felt that her consciousness seemed to be pushed into the depths of the ocean, the surrounding was dark and cold, but she felt very hot.The eyelids were heavy and couldn't be opened, and her face was extremely pale, but her lips were even brighter red. At first glance, she looked like a very beautiful rose.

After ups and downs for a long time, with the disappearance of the blood red in the sea of ​​mental strength, Jiang Ran coughed lightly and woke up. She opened her eyes and saw Qi Lian as expected.

Ah Lian.

How could she be here?

His mind was still very confused, Jiang Ran didn't have the strength to struggle, he just lay quietly in Qi Lian's arms, staring at the woman who was holding her.In fact, the days of separation were not too long, but Jiang Ran felt that it was as if she hadn't seen each other for a long time. During these days, no matter how busy she kept herself, the missing still haunted her from time to time, like a long drizzle , Floating all the time in spring, never stopping.

When she couldn't restrain herself, she thought, why did you let me go so easily?

When she was upset, she thought, why don't you chase after me?

When she was flustered, she thought again, why don't you come and find me?

Qi Lian, Qi Lian, all Qi Lian.

But most of the time, she is angry again.She clearly knew that the problem between them was still there, it was not a simple matter, it was a deep crack, she wanted Qi Lian to mend it, but after so many days, Ah Lian did not Once it happened, the cracks got deeper and deeper.

Thinking of those things, Jiang Ran saw that Qi Lian's joy had diminished a bit, but she was still reluctant to leave Qi Lian's arms, so she could only pretend that her head was still messed up and cling to Qi Lian's arms.

As soon as she calmed down, she noticed that A Lian had changed.

It was just her feeling that she hadn't seen each other for a long time before. In fact, the separation time was not long, but the woman who appeared in front of her now made her feel that the two had been separated for a long time.

Ah Lian seemed to mature all of a sudden.

In fact, it's not that Ah Lian was naive before, but that she always had a lingering youthfulness, which would blur the boundaries of age and make her look younger than she actually was. When we met for the first time, Jiang Ran felt that she was too young, but this time, looking at her again, it seemed that she had lost her youthfulness, and suddenly revealed something else.

Or maybe it's just because her hair has grown a bit longer, it's pretty long, black and soft hair hangs down long, for some reason, it's a little messy, but it doesn't hurt her gentleness.Her eyes are also very different from before. Before Jiang Ran felt that her eyes were full of light, she didn't look like a blind person, but after she regained her eyesight, Jiang Ran realized how bright those black eyes could be. .

Blind at the age of 15, Qi Lian lost a lot of things in her life even though she was getting older. Her personality is restrained and stable, but she still looks young because she hasn't seen the real one for a long time. In relation to the world, to be more realistic, apart from her mind, many things about her are still at the age of 15.

With her recovery of sight, the missing fragments on the road of growth were complemented one by one. Qi Lian began to see the real world and began to examine herself. As a result, the greenness has faded away, but in fact this change is also very subtle, probably only Jiang Ran can see it at a glance.

Apart from these minor changes, Qi Lian looked much more haggard than before.

It was like a frost flower after the rain, it was not so perfect, her hair was disheveled, and her eyes were a little flustered, even because her eyes were too bright, it seemed that they had just been washed by water, but were washed by something. Washed?

Seems like it could only be tears.

Because of this, Jiang Ran observed her more carefully, and found that her eyelashes were a little condensed, as if they were wet. Jiang Ran was startled, and weakly raised his hand, touching the corner of Qi Lian's eyes.

It was indeed a little moist.

Qi Lian was also watching her. When she saw her wake up, her face showed joy. With her touch, a little blush appeared on her snow-white skin, and she looked at her with dark eyes.

Jiang Ran was upset by her look, his face was still indifferent, and he even struggled a little, as if he wanted to get out of Qi Lian's arms, when she heard Qi Lian say: "I was wrong. "

The woman's voice was a little hoarse, and she lightly swept over Jiang Ran's eardrums, causing Jiang Ran's back to feel numb. She stared closely at Qi Lian, grabbed Qi Lian's collar and asked, "What did you say?" ?”

Because of the tense relationship, she unknowingly used a lot of strength, and Qi Lian's nightgown was pulled away, revealing her delicate white collarbone, and her crystal clear skin was a little dazzling.

Jiang Ran's eyes seemed to be stuck, and he couldn't move away from the white snow for a long time.Seeing her like this, Qi Lian gained confidence in his heart. He seemed to shake his shoulders unintentionally, opened his collar wider, and Jiang Ran's breathing suddenly became rapid.

She tried her best to calm her beating heart, and said sullenly, "Shameless."

Qi Lian hugged her tightly: "It's not me who stares at others, why am I shameless?"

Jiang Ran struggled weakly for a while, but couldn't break free, so she fell limply: "It hurts so much, don't hug me so tightly." Qi Lian immediately let go of her arm when he heard this, and looked at her nervously, Jiang Ran took the opportunity to crawl Get up, sit cross-legged opposite her, and look at her seriously: "What did you just say, say it again."

"I said I was wrong."

"Where did you go wrong?" Qi Lian's words eased Jiang Ran's expression. She hugged a pillow that she had thrown down before in her arms, so as to suppress the dull pain in her chest, and asked persistently.

What's wrong?

Qi Lian said just now that she was wrong. In fact, she was saying that she misjudged Jiang Ran's control over the Queen's spiritual power, but now Ran Ran is asking, obviously not this matter.

What Ran Ran asked was if she knew what was wrong with her spending her mental power without telling her?In fact, Qi Lian has thought about this question many times recently, and the answer is already clear, but she never had the chance to tell Ran Ran, and now that Ran Ran asked, she immediately said it: "My mistake was to hide you."

Jiang Ran saw that there was no perfunctory in her expression, so he nodded, and only this nod revealed a very sharp taste: "Go on."

Qi Lian was fascinated by the domineering she unconsciously showed, and her temperament became more and more gentle and weak. She looked at Jiang Ran and smiled bitterly: "I didn't consider that you knew this matter when I did that. How I felt afterwards. I shouldn't have kept it from you."

Jiang Ran sighed: "Is that all you can think of?"

Qi Lian looked at her suspiciously, his dark eyes were full of bewilderment.

Is it not?

"Then tell me, if you encounter similar things in the future, will you make decisions without telling me again?"

Qi Lian fell silent upon hearing this.

She knew what kind of answer she should say at this time, but she didn't want to lie to Jiang Ran.

The same thing is placed in front of her again, and she will still make that choice again.

Seeing her like this, Jiang Ran seemed to have expected it, and she was not as angry as before, but coughed twice uncontrollably, which made Qi Lian nervous and approached, she pushed her away, and said lightly: "I'm fine."

"Ah Lian, you know where you are wrong, but you don't think you are wrong, right? So you don't intend to correct your mistakes."

Jiang Ran was very clear, his gray-brown eyes had a clarity of insight.

Qi Lian looked into her eyes and struggled for a moment, then finally nodded honestly.

Hearing this, Jiang Ran hugged the pillow in his arms a little coldly, and sighed: "I have thought a lot during this time. I have already understood why you did such a thing. Ah Lian, you were born In the Empire, but stayed in the Federation for many years, in your opinion, what do you think is the biggest difference between the two countries?"

Qi Lian took a deep look at her: "One is the imperial system and the other is the democratic system."

Jiang Ran shook his head: "Let's put it simply. In my opinion, the difference between them is that one's right to speak is in the hands of a single person, while the other's right to speak is in the hands of multiple people." She tilted her head slightly to look Xiang Qilian looked pure and innocent, but his eyes revealed a sharpness and depth that didn't match the warmth of taupe: "That's how you are, you're used to having the right to speak, and you're used to doing something when you face something. Make a decision and then implement it, instead of questioning your own decision, or thinking of discussing with others, because you are used to holding authority in your own hands. Your judgment is not wrong, you think you are doing it for my own good So you did it, but you are always unwilling to think about it, am I willing to accept your 'help'?"

Qi Lian lowered his head: "I know now, you don't want to."

"Yeah, I don't want to. Because you made a decision without me, and I should have a chance to choose."

Qi Lian was a little worried: "But I know, what kind of choice you will make, it is almost equivalent to no choice."

Jiang Ran shook his head: "Even if I can only make that kind of choice, it's my own choice. If you love me, you should respect my choice." She looked at Qi Lian still in doubt, After thinking for a long time, he said to Qi Lian: "Forget it, what identity brings is something deeply rooted. I didn't expect you to understand it immediately. Let me tell you in another way, Ah Lian. Let's use face-to-face Let’s talk about the final strength, I am actually very afraid of unknown dangers, but compared to those, what I am most afraid of is that you cleared the dangers for me before I knew it, and you have been irreparably hurt for this. Hurt, it will make me hate myself, and it will make me hate you. Can you understand me when I say this?"

Qi Lian looked at her, and at this moment, he suddenly thought of his brother Qi Jiang.

Her brother also made a decision behind her back without authorization. This decision saved her life, but it made her live in regret and self-loathing. The injustice, but now, she suddenly felt it.

Yes, making decisions on behalf of others is actually a kind of harm.

This kind of injury is so deep, she has been injured for eight years, but she has never thought about it, and even, because of her brother's influence, she has become a person who makes choices for others without authorization.
