[Zongmeiying] Soul Mate

"It's been a long time since I went out for a walk at night."

When Caius carefully put Elizabeth, who had just taken a shower and was as soft as a bun just out of the cage, under the quilt, she suddenly wrapped her arms around her neck.

"Take me out?" she begged, with pretty little stars in her eyes. "I've never seen Volterra at night!"

"It's very late." He was basically used to Elizabeth's frequent whims, so he just remonstrated her softly.

"I don't have to get up early tomorrow." She retorted with a smile, firmly grasping the looseness of his tone.

So a few minutes later, they held hands and strolled under the beautiful starry sky of Stockana.

This ancient town has half-closed its eyes, and only sporadic lights are reflected from the windows of others. The gentle summer wind blows across Elizabeth's cheeks, bringing a pleasant smell and brushing her lingering long hair.

"Like sage and sea salt," she said.

"What?" Caius asked softly, their long blond hair mixed with curly black hair as they were so close.

"The evening wind of Volterra is like sage and sea salt." Elizabeth raised her head and looked at Caius with nostalgia. He didn't need the sun at all, he was always so shining.

"The breath at night is not so messy," Caius said softly, watching the road under Elizabeth's feet from the corner of his eye, "If you like, we can go out for a walk earlier every day."

The starlight chased the shadows. Originally, the Volturi’s underground palace was on the outskirts. It didn’t take long to get out of the town. They walked towards the ruins of the Colosseum outside the town. The vegetation gradually made it difficult to walk, so Caius Gently hug Elizabeth.

She leaned against his chest quietly, and Elizabeth couldn't hear Caius' breathing and heartbeat. Only at this time could she clearly realize how different vampires are from humans.

"What do I smell like?" She suddenly asked curiously.

"You? You smell like sugar and roses." Caius' lips brushed against Elizabeth's ear, low and sweet, "very sweet."

"Sugar and roses?" Elizabeth laughed, her clear voice melted into the night, and nightingales twittered in the dark forest. They walked slowly across the low slope and lawn, and then took a shortcut. Caius jumped onto a small pile of scattered No human could stand firm on such rough terrain, but his arms around Elizabeth didn't even move.

The starlight illuminated the mist, and there seemed to be a thin layer of veil floating on the open space, and the Milky Way shone brilliantly above their heads.

The ruins of ancient Rome are icy bones in the night, and the flesh and blood have dissipated in the millennium wind and frost, leaving only a sigh in time, like a brilliant glimpse through the crack of the door, bringing people back to the once prosperous and bright empire era.

"When the beauty cannot keep the brilliance of the bright eyes, the newborn love will wither before tomorrow." Elizabeth said, she was gently placed on the ground, and the damaged stairs unfolded around them. *

"But we will last forever." Caius responded softly, his head bowed like a statue of the Son of God guarding the night.

He didn't stop, "Fly, fly, I want to fly to you, not on the leopard chariot with the god of wine, but on the invisible wings of the god of poetry."*

"Caius..." Elizabeth gently raised her hand, caressing his sharp lips, tracing the beautiful and smooth outline, his face is as smooth as porcelain, and the bright red eyes embedded under the long eyebrows are the most precious gem.

"I know what you're worried about, Lisa." He held Elizabeth's cheek like picking up a rose.

"what?"

"I've already answered you." Before she had time to continue thinking, Caius spoke, with a slight smirk on his handsome face, a look of triumph in his eyes, but his voice was steady and deep.

"I used to be human too, I know the elements of life, friendship and family," he frowned slightly at this point, "so I won't deprive you of the fun and prevent you from enjoying the time. My love, keep drinking, Gaga Nemedes will personally pour you the wine of life."

"So...you will accompany me back to the United States?" Quickly grasping the point, Elizabeth clenched his hands on the sides of her face.

Caius nodded slightly, a gust of wind blew by, and a few dizzy fireflies flew out in circles in the quiet grass of the ruins.

"Now I want nothing but you, but you are different—I will wait for the day when you are completely mine."

Is not this sentence more beautiful than any oath?

They were so close, feeling Elizabeth's breath on her face, Caius gazed in awe at her emerald eyes, the most beautiful things he had ever seen in his life.

Elizabeth smiled and stood on tiptoe until her warm lips brushed his cold ones, a hallucinatory berry-sweet taste on the back of her tongue.

The vampiric vision allowed Caius to see every detail of Elizabeth's face, but it could not allow him to find any flaws, it only made him more uncontrollably immersed in the bright iris galaxy-like trajectory, and he struggled to control it The burning desire/desire, the exhaustion and indifference accumulated over the past 3000 years have long been dispelled. If he is still human now, Elizabeth will definitely feel his trembling.

The goddess of the moon held the skirt and ascended the throne, the stars were shining brightly, and the sweet night wind enveloped the couple.

Caius kissed back softly.
