Is it okay to run away with me?

Chapter 74 Will winter end?
  Duo closed her eyes and lay peacefully in Dylan's arms.

The quilt smells good of roses.

They fell asleep like a normal couple.

Before going to sleep, Dylan carefully tucked Duo into bed.

Dylan held her in his arms like a precious baby.

The twelve o'clock bell has not yet rung.

Duo no longer cares about time.

Dylan said softly: "Good night, Duo, I love you."

Duo smiled and said, "I love you too, Dylan."

Okay, now let’s officially welcome death.

Duo leaned into Dylan's arms again. His arms were so soft, and they would be like soft clouds that would carry her to heaven.

At this time, Jingzhi had been waiting for a long time. When he heard the twelve o'clock bell, he could only accept Duo's fate sadly.

Jingzhi clenched his fists, suddenly feeling a certain hatred.

He saw his countrymen dying and was unable to do anything.

For the first time, he acknowledged his family's cruelty.

He yearned even more for the beautiful scenery outside the window.

Jing Zhi sighed, for the sake of his mother, he could only live stronger.

However, Jingzhi still has unfinished tasks.

Previously, Duo had to deal with the real Annie after explaining the situation.

Although everything was over and Anne's existence was irrelevant, Jingzhi still wanted to keep his promise and ran towards Anne's apartment.

Unfortunately, Anne's apartment was already empty.

Anne's father lost a lot of money due to investment, and left London with Anne in just one day.

Jingzhi sighed and had no choice but to give up and let the little girl go.

Anyway, it doesn't matter whether the real Anne is alive or not.

Anne was hurriedly taken away by her father. The man indeed stopped drinking and beating Anne. However, he was heavily in debt and could only take Anne to hide at his grandmother's house abroad to avoid the debt.

Annie wanted to go to the flower shop to find Sister Nicks and Sister Bai Qi, but she saw the "Closed Today" sign on the flower shop and had to leave.

Anne didn't know where Sister Nick lived, so she could only leave a letter to Sister Nick and Sister Bai Qi in the apartment and leave.

When Annie got in the car, she was still thinking, when will her sisters see the letter she left?
  When Jingzhi returned to the base, he didn't want to say anything and just fell asleep.

Jing Fei saw Jing Zhi coming back and asked, "Brother, where have you been?"

Jing Zhi asked dejectedly: "Jing Fei, what kind of person do you think Grandpa Chen is?"

Jing Fei tilted his head and said, "Grandpa Chen is the best person. Brother, don't you think so?"

"By the way," Jing Fei said as if he remembered something: "That woman didn't bring back the vampire's head. Come to think of it, she was already poisoned and died tonight, right?"

Jing Fei even hummed a song happily.

Jingzhi said coldly: "Good night, I'm going to bed."

Jing Fei left humming a song.

Grandpa Chen also heard the twelve o'clock bell, but he was not sad at all.

He had already guessed that Duo would not bring back the vampire's head as promised. This was a very difficult task.

Grandpa Chen looked at the early morning night sky and coughed lightly.

They were connected by blood, so how could he really not feel heartbroken.

In fact, the poison Grandpa Chen gave Duo was not poison in the first place, but an ordinary tonic. Even if Duo didn't come back with the vampire's head, he still wouldn't have died from the poison.

This was the only soft-hearted thing that Grandpa Chen had done in his life. He didn't know if he had done something wrong. He just didn't want Duo to die like that.

There are not many gold hunters left in this generation.

Grandpa Chen really likes Jingzhi and Jingfei. They are indeed the most satisfying works of his life. But for Duo, Grandpa Chen did feel pity for her.

Duo fell into a deep sleep, not feeling the pain of the poison for a long time.

This was her happiest and most relaxing night.

Until the next morning, Duo was still breathing steadily.

Why……

Duo didn't know why she didn't die at twelve o'clock. The rest of her life did not bring her joy, but brought doubts.

Dylan looked at Duo who was waking up and asked, "Are you still sleepy? Do you want to sleep again?"

Duo had a good night's sleep without even a single nightmare.

Duo said with doubts: "Good morning, I want to sleep for a while."

Duo was lying in the fragrant and warm quilt, and there were birdsong outside the window.

This kind of bird song is not a code for her and Jingzhi.

Duo asked: "Is spring coming?"

Dylan replied: "Yes, winter is going to be over soon and it won't be cold anymore."

Duo suddenly remembered that in the past, she was practicing endurance in the lake. The winter that year was extremely cold, and she suffered from the cold and had a high fever. In the gold hunter family, few children take medicine when they have a fever. They believe more in their own resilience. But Duo almost couldn't resist anymore. Her mother was not with her at that time, but Grandpa Ke brought Duo a bowl of fever-reducing soup in time.

Grandpa Chen didn't mention this little thing to anyone. Even when people in the kitchen asked about the medicine bowl, Grandpa Chen didn't say anything. He just looked stern as usual.

Duo suddenly thought that maybe what Grandpa Zhen forced him to take was not poison at all.

A strange emotion flashed through Duo's heart. She didn't know why Grandpa Zu would let her go... Maybe Grandpa Zu was not as ruthless as everyone said? But, how is this possible...

In Duo's world, it seems that there has never been spring.

Duo thought pessimistically, maybe just because his body was stronger than the average person, the poison would still be delayed.

Duo stared into Dylan's beautiful green eyes, as if looking for an answer, "Dylan, will I really have a warm spring?"

Dylan's eyes seemed to hide a green lake, and he said seriously: "Of course, Duo, starting from today is your spring."

really?
  Duo opened the window and sniffed at the cold air that hit her face.

"It's so cold, it's still winter..."

"Duo, as long as your heart is spring, winter is over."

They walked downstairs and found a hot breakfast on the table in the hall.

Bai Qi wore an apron and said with a smile: "You guys woke up very late, Duo, wash your hands and have breakfast."

Nix was dressed extraordinarily. She sat upright at the table just to eat with Duo. It didn't matter even if the food she ate was tasteless, she just wanted to express her gratitude.

Helios was also convinced by Bai Qi, and he also said with a smile: "Bai Qi said, we will all have dinner with you today."

Dylan showed a smile earlier than Duo. He opened the dining chair for Dou in a gentlemanly manner, "Come on, Duo, we will enjoy breakfast with you."

This kind of treatment is completely different from before.

Duo sat down in a daze, and everyone was inexplicably centered on her, asking her diligently if she slept well and if her breakfast was to her liking...

Such a ridiculous farce, yet so heart-warming.

Duo took a bite of steak and thought, maybe spring is really coming.
