Chapter 25

"Then, what exactly is this place?" she asked.

The Nandu was undeniably a bustling place, and the person in charge of this bustling place was the noble imperial family.

Although she didn't know why she was here, trespassing into the Imperial City was definitely a heinous crime!

"Imperial City? Could it be that the Imperial City that the royal family lives in is here? " Xiao Wu's voice trembled slightly.

"How many more Imperial City s are there? Of course it's that Imperial City from the royal family. "

"No, it can't be …" She forcefully closed her eyes, wishing that the moment she opened them, she would no longer be in this damned place.

However, when he opened his eyes, that devilish man was still standing in front of him.

The devilish man was currently sizing her up with a puzzled look …

Su Xiao Wu swallowed his saliva: "Are you sure you didn't lie to me?"

"Deceiving you? What's the point of lying to you? "

"But why would I come to the Imperial City?" She was on the verge of going crazy. She would rather be out in the wilderness than in a place where her life could be in danger at any moment.

"How would I know?" The devilish man shrugged.

Su Xiao Wu felt as if his entire body had been hollowed out, he powerlessly knelt down on the ground, buried his head in his hands, and covered his head with them.

No matter what, she would still be in the Imperial City. Most importantly, how could she leave this place?

The devilish man squatted down in front of her. His fingers gently curled up her long hair as if he was playing with her. "Little girl, what are you thinking about by squatting down again?"

What else could she think?

He had only just fallen into someone else's trap, what else could he think of!

Su Xiao Wu suddenly raised his head, and pressed down hard on his shoulders: "What do I need to do to get out!"

"You want to go out?"

"Yes, yes!" Xiao Wu strongly nodded his head.

"Since you don't know this is the Imperial City, then that means you aren't someone from here! Then you must be trespassing Imperial City … Let me think, this seems to be … where's the felony! " When he said the last few words, his tone suddenly turned heavier.

"Serious crimes!"

"Serious crimes!"

These two words lingered in her mind. Of course, she knew the seriousness of the situation, so she was in a hurry to leave. Since no one had discovered her yet, and the sky was still dark …

"You must be someone living in the Imperial City right? You should know how to get out of here, right?"

"Yes." "I know." The devilish man nodded.

Her eyes sparkled. "Then you …"

"No!" When the two words came crashing over, his lips curled up into an alluring smile as he sat on a tree branch, supporting his cheeks with his hands. He still had a leisurely look on his face.

"Err …" Xiao Wu's face darkened halfway as he begged for mercy and blinked his innocent eyes. "I'm in a rush to save him, I've helped you guys …"

Under his long eyelashes, the light in his eyes flickered. "I can take you out, but I have a condition."

"What condition?"

The man stood up and walked to the back of the tree. He took out a bottle of wine and shook it lightly, "Drink with me …" "If you drink past me, I'll take you out."

"Drink?" Xiao Wu did not want to know how he managed to take out the alcohol from behind the tree. But at a time like this, was it time to drink with others?

He frowned hesitantly.

The devilish man leaned against the tree trunk, tilting his head. "You don't want to go out anymore?"

Xiao Wu stared at the bottle in his hand: "If I win, you take me out, what if I lose?"

"Even if you lose, I'll take you out." He answered straightforwardly.

"That's what you said."

"Of course."

Compared to being a headless fly in this large Imperial City, she had to be more sensible. Everything had been decided by this Imperial City, didn't she?

It was getting late.

The back garden of Imperial City was a beautiful scene. The gentle breeze blew against the flowers, releasing their fragrance.

"Is it good?" The devilish man squatted on the ground, supporting his face with his hands as he sized up the woman in front of him.

Su Xiao Wu sat paralyzed on the ground, the wine bottles were poured all around him, her fair face had two blobs of red on it, his half-opened eyes, were completely unfocused as he stared ahead.

After hesitating for a long moment, he finally broke into a smile. "Well, it tastes good..."

The devilish man squatted in front of her with a smile. He pinched her rosy cheeks with both hands and gently pinched them. "You got drunk so quickly. What am I supposed to do?"

Xiao Wu sat on the ground as if he didn't feel anything, as his face was being pinched, but he didn't have any expression, with his mouth opened slightly in a daze, like a rag doll.

She stared dazedly at the man before her.

The breeze blew his long hair, and her eyes blurred.

"Brother, brother …" Xiao Wu called out softly. The look in his eyes had changed.

"Hmm? "Big brother?" He was stunned for a moment.

"Brother, Xiao Wu misses you so much …" In that instant, Su Xiao Wu's tears streamed down, and all of his rosy cheeks were instantly stained with tears.

She cried so hard that her heart broke.

He was stunned and only frowned. Why did he call him brother? Why was he crying so bitterly? Xiao Wu? So her name was Xiao Wu?

"Hey, girl, what are you crying for, I'm not your brother!" He patted her shoulder helplessly.

"Brother … …" Su Xiao Wu immediately rushed over and hugged him tightly, his tears streaming down even more.

The man sighed and was about to push her away …

Su Xiao Wu hugged him even more tightly, "Brother, don't abandon Xiao Wu, okay? In the past, it was always Xiao Wu's fault, Xiao Wu was too willful and did not listen to you. I'll listen to you in the future, okay? As long as you don't leave me … "

The hoarse voice was filled with guilt, pain, and pain. Tears quickly soaked his shoulders.

Her long and narrow eyes lowered, looking at Xiao Wu who was crying his heart out, she wrapped her hand around her back and patted gently: "Alright, alright, brother won't leave you, stop crying, be good … …"

Xiao Wu's tears flowed even faster. Over the past five years, she had been suppressing her emotions, and the emotions that he had not released exploded like a bomb under the influence of the alcohol.

She hated herself, hated her inability to protect her brother.

He had hated himself for five whole years.

His throat was in extreme pain.

She hugged him tightly, her hands gripping onto his clothes tightly as she cried until she was in tears …

The faint moonlight shone on the two of them, making them seem like a cruel yet beautiful painting.

Early morning.

The sunlight shone on every tile and brick in Imperial City, dyeing the originally dignified and luxurious place a bright gold color.

"Hey!" "Get up!"

"Wake up!"
