Chapter 1466
Erik had been carrying Crystal on his back.
The light of street lamps on both sides shed quietly on both of them, extending their shadows and interweaving the shadows closely together.
The two of them went upstairs. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
The first thing Erik did when he was transferred to Francis City was to find Crystal. He had visited this residential community in advance and already checked whether the surrounding environment was safe. He even had visited the police station to learn more information. For this reason, he was very familiar with this area.
The elevator door dinged open, and Erik said, "Lil Star, we're here!"
There was no response from his back.
Erik tried to turn his head back and saw that Crystal had fallen into sleep.
Half of her face was stuck to his back, and her eyes were closed. Her long eyelashes drooped down, and she was sleeping peacefully, like a beautiful little deer resting in the forest.
Erik couldn't help but laughed.
He couldn't find the key from her body. A new idea suddenly popped up in his mind. He took the hairpin off her head, straightened it, and inserted it into the lock cylinder. He then twisted the hairpin casually a number of times, and the door was finally opened.
Erik put her down on the bed. He could smell a girls' peculiar fragrance in the room, which was stimulating and exciting for him.
Crystal had not woken up yet.
Seeing this, Erik said with a smile, "Do you really trust me so much?"
Crystal, who was still sleeping, rubbed her face on the pillow, as if she was answering his question. In fact, her sleep was as sound as before.
Erik caressed her face with his fingers. Now he could freely appreciate her beautiful and delicate face, her eyebrows, her nose, etc. Because of his long-time military career, there were gun calluses on his finger pulps. When Crystal was caressed, she would occasionally tremble in her dream.
Under the bright moonshine through the window, her long hair fell on the bed like a waterfall. Looking at her, Erik only felt that she was just like a blooming flower. He couldn't take his eyes off her, and his heart was beating fast.
Erik simply couldn't control his passion.
He bent over and kiss her forehead.
"Lil Star, we still have a long way to go..."
When she woke up the next day, Crystal was a little at a loss. She looked around and found himself in her own room. Then, she remembered that it was Erik who carried her back last night.
She touched her forehead.
Last night in her dream, she vaguely felt that Erik's thin lips had landed on her forehead.
It was just a kiss that was not necessarily different from the kisses of their childhood. She could remember that his lips were burning hot, and the feeling was wonderful...
Crystal patted her own head and felt that she was thinking too much again!
The night scenes were beautiful, and the neon lights were bright.
In a high-grade restaurant in the downtown area, there were a great many guests in the private compartment on the second floor.
Erik was wearing a training uniform of camouflage with two of the buttons on his collar loosened. He looked a little more casual than usual today, but this didn't mean he was dispirited. He was still an energetic and heroic military officer.
Erik and his comrade-in-arms had just
finished an intensified training program. They came here to hold a party.
Aiden Jagers, Erik's good friend, took out two cigarettes from the box and handed one of them to Erik.
Erik waved his hand and didn't take it.
Aiden was astonished. "You quit smoking?"
Erik said, "Yes!"
Aiden's eyes widened in amazement. "What's going on? Why did you suddenly quit smoking?"
Smoking was more like a habit for most men. It was therefore very difficult to quit smoking. Aiden had done it many times because he had been criticized by his parents for smoking, but up to now he had never succeeded in quitting it.
Erik smiled without saying anything.
Aiden noticed something strange from the radian of Erik's curved lips. "Does it have anything to do with your girl? Well... You should be more pro-active. After all, you have been waiting for her for so
many years. If I were that girl, I would be deeply moved by the romantic love story between you and me... Come on, buddy! I am looking forward to attending your wedding ceremony!"
Erik replied slowly, "I'm not in a hurry!"
He picked up the wine glass in his hand, took a sip, and smiled.
Aiden was very amazed.
Suddenly, Erik's mobile phone rang. It was from Grace Assert, his biological mother.
After his grandfather's death, Grace took Erik back to Tbridge City and succeeded in inheriting the family business. She turned out to be a powerful and shrewd business leader. Last year, she finally got rid of the last opponent of her in the family business. This meant that Erik would become completely free after that.
Grace respected her son's own choices very much, and she was also very grateful to Anthea Lee and Adam Chin, who had adopted Erik when Grace was absent. Grace only changed the family registration information of her son, and kept his original name, Erik Chin, in order not to forget about the kindness of the Chin Family.
When Erik decided to become a soldier, Grace supported his choice, because her deceased husband, namely, Erik's biological father, used to be a brave soldier.
Erik walked out of the compartment to continue the phone call with his mother. On the way, his mother gently asked him to take care of himself, and he replied obediently.
After talking to his mother and hanging up, he didn't go into the compartment again immediately. He wanted to stay outside for a while to breathe some more fresh air.
In the corridor, there were two waitresses passing by in a hurry.
When they passed over Erik, he could hear clearly their gossiping. "Hey... Did you see it just now? Two lovers were kissing in No.8 compartment!"
"Of course! I saw it... It's great to be young. I'm so envious of them!"
"When I was young, I often secretly kissed my boyfriend. Now he has become my husband... A middle-aged man... The feeling of kissing him was so sweet. It still makes me feel shy when I think of it now..."
Their voices gradually waned as the two of them walked away.
Not far away, the door of the so-called No.8 compartment was pushed open.
According to what the waitresses said, the two lovers who had been kissing should be inside it.
Erik was not that interested in such things. When he was about to return to his compartment, he suddenly stopped.
When he caught sight of a slender figure which was familiar to him, Erik's face suddenly became gloomy, like the sudden arrival of a storm on the sea, stirring up raging waves.
After coming out of the No.8 compartment, Crystal walked quickly to the bathroom with her head lowered.
Her long hairs fell down loosely behind her head and almost covered her face as she had lowered her head. Her expression could not be seen, but one could still see the blush on her face, which was like a gorgeous sunset glow, extending all the way to her ears.
Her footsteps were slightly messy and fast. Her hair was fluttering in the wind. She really looked like a peach blossom from afar.
Just as Crystal was about to push open the door of the woman's lavatory, someone suddenly grabbed her arm from behind.
It was grabbed with a very powerful force.
Before Crystal could react, she was dragged into the man's lavatory next to her.
Her back rested on the door plank. Although the other side seemed to have used a lot of strength, he deliberately reduced the pushing force when she was pressed to the door plank. For this reason, she didn't feel any pain, but the domineering and oppressive nature of the man who was pushing her was obvious.
She could smell the strong scent of alcohol.
Crystal thought that she might have been caught by a drunkard. Just as she was about to struggle and yell out for help, she raised her head and saw a military uniform of camouflage. He was indeed a soldier.
Soldiers were always righteous men in her heart. They couldn't be lechers.
She was stunned and then looked up again. What she saw was a pair of deep and nonchalant eyes.
It was Erik. He placed an arm near the side of her head and wrapped her delicate body with his tall and strong body. With the lamplight on his back, his facial features appeared to be even more vivid. He silently stared at her, while his eyes seemed to be covered by a layer of frost.
Crystal was petrified. "Erik? Why is it you?"
