Chapter 212: Blonde Miss
People always liked to huddle together for warmth.
Who didn’t enjoy the warmth given by others while also warming others, feeling the warmth around them, as if they had lived another day, it had always been like this since ancient times…
“Hoo… hoo…”
Snow snored lightly, the warm air she exhaled seeming to penetrate the skin, stimulating Lena’s sensitive nerves.
This little girl was really not picky, she could fall asleep in a place like this.
Lena lowered her eyelids, Snow’s hands were wrapped around her arm, sleeping soundly.
In her sleep, her eyelashes twitched slightly, as if she was cold, she snuggled into Lena’s arms—there was a strong warmth there, and two soft, large, and warm pillows.
Lena raised her other hand, brushing the messy bangs from her forehead behind her ear, playfully twirling a strand around her little finger.
Looking at her peaceful appearance, a certain part of Lena’s heart suddenly softened.
If she hadn’t met Snow, she would probably still be wallowing in self-pity because of her fate, like a beast that had lost its mind.
But what about now?
She had slowly found her way out of the confusion, gradually approaching the light. Although the path was still fraught with difficulties, at least it wasn’t as hopeless as before.
She shouldn’t give up, since she had chosen to start over, she had to be brave…
The so-called wheel of fate would also yield to her. She hadn’t forgotten how it had played with her…
Having figured this out, Lena reached out and hugged Snow tightly.
Just as her lips were about to touch Snow’s smooth skin, Snow’s eyes fluttered open, and she instinctively reached for her blade, [Dark Plum Blossom].
Lena’s lips were still on her cheek, just a few centimeters away from her delicate face. Startled, Lena quickly pulled back, her expression incredibly awkward.
Caught red-handed.
What could be more embarrassing than this…?
“W-what’s wrong? Did you have a nightmare?”
“It’s fine.”
Snow shook her head, sitting up and rubbing her sleepy eyes.
Lena was still nervous, afraid of Snow’s disgust.
But Snow, seemingly unfazed, gripped her blade, her voice cold. “Someone is approaching, two people.”
Their senses had been dulled by the rain, they could only vaguely discern two small female figures.
Snow stood up, [Dark Plum Blossom] unsheathed, a murderous aura emanating from her, its blade glinting coldly.
Seeing Snow ready for battle, Lena also discreetly gathered her magic. “Not yet, friend or foe, let’s see first.”
Snow’s appearance at the circus wasn’t a coincidence, after all, it was her work time, she wouldn’t be playing around.
Lena hadn’t asked Snow the reason, but she had sensed something unusual.
The scent of a conspiracy.
…
“There’s shelter up ahead, sister, hurry up.”
Angel’s steps were nimble.
Compared to the homebody Vanessa, Angel’s stamina had significantly improved thanks to Lena’s nightly “training.”
The rain suddenly poured down.
They hurried, trying to avoid the puddles, finally reaching a pile of giant pipes.
The sky was dark, their vision obscured, but then a flicker of light appeared.
A fire?
Angel wiped her face, incredulous. “Should we check it out?”
“Be careful, there might be thugs.” Vanessa reminded her, holding Angel’s hand tightly.
“It’s fine, Lena is here… although I lost her, haha…”
Angel chuckled nervously, regretting not being able to find her lover after the ring toss, she didn’t know where Lena was, if she was safe.
But there was no one Lena couldn’t defeat, Angel had complete faith in her wife’s abilities…
“Let’s go say hello, ask if we can take shelter.”
Angel and Vanessa were both drenched, their wet clothes clinging to their skin, their body temperature dropping rapidly, shivering intermittently.
If the people there were willing to let them in, that would be great, they could warm up by the fire and dry their clothes…
Lifting her skirt, she waded through the water.
Angel led the way, Vanessa following cautiously, their eyes fixed on the light.
Suddenly, Angel stopped.
“What’s wrong?”
“…”
Angel didn’t answer, her gaze fixed on the shoes by the entrance of the pipe.
A pair of unfamiliar leather boots, judging by their shape, belonging to a woman.
That was fine.
But beside the boots was another pair of heels.
Angel knew them all too well, she had chosen them herself, and had given them to Lena as a gift…
“What are you waiting for? Let’s go in.”
Vanessa, seeing Angel standing still, didn’t know what was wrong.
She took Angel’s hand and entered the pipe.
A raging fire, a cool maiden.
A long blade held before her, protecting the gray-haired woman behind her…
Snow, her blade at the ready, her autumn-water-like eyes now filled with a deep killing intent.
“Is someone there?”
The moment Vanessa stepped into their territory, a blade struck the ground before her, the flying sparks and deep gash preventing her from taking another step.
“We mean no harm, just seeking shelter.”
Vanessa raised her hands, unsure of how many people were inside, but showing weakness was the wise choice.
“We’ll leave as soon as the rain stops.”
“…”
A moment of silence.
Finally, a movement in the darkness.
Snow, her face innocent, appeared before the two women, followed by an embarrassed Lena.
“A misunderstanding, it’s all a misunderstanding…”
They were naked, their clothes drying by the fire.
Two naked bodies, looking like a pair of lovers caught in the act, Lena wanted to disappear, to flee this cursed city.
“What misunderstanding! I haven’t even said anything yet!”
Angel, her hands on her hips, her eyes burning with rage.
Who would have thought Lena would be here, practically naked with another girl, while she had been worried about her safety!
“What should you say?!”
“I’m sorry.”
Lena admitted her mistake.
“Come here!” Angel extended a hand, her voice filled with authority. “Get dressed, how long are you planning to be so shameless?!”
“Okay, okay.”
Lena was a coward.
Angel’s words were like a royal decree, controlling her every move.
After all, she was guilty, Lena couldn’t be so willful.
Lena: QAQ.
“Don’t play pitiful!” Angel was still angry, ignoring Lena’s tug on her sleeve. “You’re a grown woman, acting like this, aren’t you ashamed?!”
“I was wrong…”
Lena looked pitiful, like an abandoned puppy.
She had completely broken her persona in front of the other two, now acting like a spoiled child beside Angel.
“I was wrong~ I was wrong, I was wrong~ Please forgive me this once…”
How shameless!!
Vanessa’s jaw clenched.
Two-timing her, was there such a “brave” blonde in this world?!
Whose underling was she?!
