Chapter 126 Hot Hands
After confirming her identity, Anubis' attitude changed instantly.
His movements became cautious, and his eyes were filled with concern and barely perceptible joy.
Qiao Suisui held onto the wall to steady herself and said, "It looks like they're planning to blow this place up. We have to find an exit quickly."
"Yeah." Anubis responded in a low voice with a complicated tone: "Don't move here, I'll go find it."
Qiao Sui Sui didn't know that Anubis had recognized her, and was still trying to play the role of Ellie: "Let's go together, so we can take care of each other."
Anubis nodded, then realized that she might not be able to see clearly, and said, "Okay. You hold on to the edge of my clothes and walk behind me."
He moved carefully and stood in front of her protectively, keeping an eye on her movements at all times, while his eyes never left Qiao Susu.
Taking advantage of the darkness, he carefully looked at her from head to toe several times.
In fact, after the call that night, although Qiao Suisui did not tell Anubis what she was going to do, when he found the surveillance video for her, Anubis knew something was going to happen. Sure enough, the next morning Li Yi banged on the door, pointed at a video in the computer with a red face, and stuttered and couldn't speak clearly.
Anubis watched the video and froze in place, the buzzing sound in his head lasting for several minutes.
"Is she, she, she, a female? No, she is an ancient human. Oh my god, I was using the toilet in front of her before! Ah! I can't live anymore! I have no face ...
Li Yi collapsed, howling and circling in the living room, taking off his clothes and beating his chest frantically. It can only be said that it is difficult to explain the behavior of people in a state of shame.
There was a stark contrast between Reiichi running around the room and Anubis standing still.
He raised his hand stiffly and slowly, clicked on the video and watched it again, confirming once again that the long-haired girl in the video was Joe, who lived and ate with him. Suddenly, a strange emotion arose in Anubis' heart.
The emotion made him tremble all over, his breathing became rapid, and his heart almost jumped out of his chest.
Just like this moment.
In the small wine cellar, the two walked side by side. Qiao Susu was feeling the wall for an exit, and Anubis was afraid that she would hear his pounding heart, but he did not increase the distance between them. Instead, when their arms touched inadvertently, he moved a little closer to the thin figure.
The sounds of each other's breathing were particularly clear in the quiet space.
"Why are you here?" Anubis suddenly asked in a low voice, with a hint of temptation in his voice.
"I" Qiao Suisui wanted to say that she was being followed, but she remembered that she was Ellie at the moment, so she shouldn't know him. In addition, she wasn't ready to face Bi and Li Yi openly. She was always worried that they would lose the purity of their friendship after knowing her identity, so she lied, "I was just passing by, and I happened to see that you seemed to be in trouble, so I helped you."
Anubis lowered his eyes and was silent for a moment. Then the pleasant voice sounded again in the wine cellar: "Thank you."
The two continued to look for an exit, and finally, Qiao Susu touched a living wall. With a "click", the wall rotated and light came from behind the wall.
"found it!"
Qiao Susu breathed a sigh of relief and was about to push the door open when she suddenly felt a warm big hand gently holding her hand.
"They may be lying in ambush outside. Let me go and confirm the situation first."
There was a gentle warmth in his voice, completely different from the coldness he had when he first came in. Qiao Suisui nodded in a daze.
Anubis confirmed that the environment outside was safe before returning to the wine cellar.
"They're gone. You can come out now."
Qiao Sui Sui reached out her hand, hoping that he would help her up, but Anubis jumped down directly. Before she could react, he held her up and helped her stand firmly on the hemp rope ladder. "Be careful."
Anubis' voice was pleasant and low. Qiao Susu's back was pressed against his chest at this time. She felt very hot there, but the person behind her didn't notice it. He put his hand on her waist, supporting her gently, trying to help her get up.
She felt her face getting hot, and the skin on her waist where he touched seemed to be burned.
Qiao Suisui's heartbeat quickened, and she leaned on Anubis's shoulder, feeling his warm embrace. In this small wine cellar, an ambiguous atmosphere spread in the air, as if everything was quietly changing.
After they both came up from the wine cellar, Anubis remained alert and quickly ran out of the manor, holding her hand.
Qiao Suisui's physical strength was not as good as that of a male. After running for a while, her chest kept rising and falling. Anubis held her hand tightly, waited until her breathing became more even, and whispered, "It's not completely safe yet. I'll carry you."
She panted lightly, and decided not to waste time because of herself, so she nodded. Anubis took off his coat and tied it around her waist. She was wearing a skirt today, and her cloak had been thrown away somewhere in the fight just now. Knowing that Anubis did this to prevent her from exposing herself when he carried her on his back later, her heart suddenly warmed.
She lay on his back and smelled the special scent on him, and suddenly felt a little shy.
That smell is a natural attraction that males exert on females, filled with male hormones and mixed with the cleanliness and freshness of youth.
The boy's back was not thin. On the contrary, his back was strong and broad, and his shoulders were very broad, giving people an inexplicable sense of security.
Anubis easily carried Qiao Susu on his back and ran six or seven kilometers away from the manor before he caught his breath.
He protected her and gently put her down, checking her condition immediately.
"Are you okay?"
Qiao Susu shook her head and saw that the sweat on his forehead had wet his hair. She subconsciously tried to wipe it, but her hand suddenly stopped in mid-air.
She is Ellie now, and they are not that familiar with each other. It's weird to do this.
Anubis' eyes were filled with anticipation, but when he saw her withdraw her hand somewhat embarrassedly, his eyes dimmed.
He calmly lowered his eyes, lifted his hair with his hand, and pushed all his black hair back, revealing his smooth forehead.
The boy's three-dimensional facial features suddenly became more impactful. His brow bones were well-developed, his nose was straight, and his pair of peach blossom eyes were gloomy when he was not smiling, but became very deep when he was gentle, giving people the illusion that he looked at everything with deep affection.
Qiao Suisui looked away a little unnaturally and said, "Then let's separate here. Be careful."
Anubis looked at her in silence for a long while. His lips moved slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but he swallowed it and only asked, "Where are you going next?"
"Female Protection Association."
"I send you."
He responded very quickly, as if no matter what she said, there was always a "I'll take you there" waiting for her.
Qiao Susu blinked. She should have refused, but she felt there was no reason to do so.
Anubis didn't give her much time to think. He reached out and untied the clothes from her waist and put them on her shoulders.
"Let's go, I know a safe way."
