Although Grace had allowed Hunter to visit her heart, she was still unsure if she should have done so. She looked hesitantly into Hunter's eyes, hoping to find the shadow of Theodore from the past in his eyes.
虽然格蕾丝容纳了亨特探访自己的内心,可是她也不确定是否应该这样做,还是迟疑地看着亨特的眼睛,希望从他的眼里找到往日里西奥多的影子.
Suddenly, Hunter's playful grin froze, his eyes widened, and his body stiffened. Grace had no way of knowing that someone in another dimension had kicked him with all their strength right in his vital spot.
只见亨特一脸嬉笑突然眼睛一瞪,身体一挺,僵住了.格蕾丝哪里知道,有人在另一个维度里用足了力气踢在了他的要害之上.
Lin Yuhui delivered the kick, then grabbed Hunter by the neck and pulled him out of his body, wrapping his arm around him in a rear naked choke.
林语晖一脚踢下去,然后揪着亨特的脖子把他从他的身体里拉了出来,伸出胳膊做了一个裸绞.
At that moment, Lin Yuhui suddenly realized a problem. Even if he beat Hunter into submission this time, there was no telling when he would revert to his old ways or rebel. It would be better to scare him into obedience. With that thought, Lin Yuhui threw the barely conscious Hunter to the ground. He imagined himself as Satan the devil, searched through Hunter's memories for the wrongs he had committed, picked out a few of the more serious ones, stated them briefly in a deep, authoritative voice, then warned him,
这时林语晖忽然意识到了一个问题,即便这次把他打服了,不知道什么时候他还会回到本性或者反抗,不如吓唬住他.想到这,林语晖把奄奄一息的亨特扔在地上,自己想象着就是撒旦恶魔的样子,从亨特的记忆中搜索他做过的错事,挑了几个严重一些的,用低沉威严的声音简短陈述,然后正告他,
"You have committed countless evils. Your time has come. I have come to take your soul."
"你恶事做尽,时辰已到,我来收走你的灵魂了."
Hunter lay prostrate on the ground, staring up at the terrifying demon standing before him. The coward immediately cowered, crying and shouting,
亨特趴伏在地上,只见一个阴森恐怖的恶魔站在他的面前,这孬种立刻就怂了,哭着喊,
"Spare me! Please spare me!"
"饶命啊,饶了我吧,"
Lin Yuhui chuckled to himself. That was exactly what he had been waiting for. He couldn't actually kill Hunter, but what was he supposed to say next? Tell him he wanted to take over his body? No, that would destroy the authority of the great demon of hell. A brilliant idea struck him.
林语晖心中暗乐,就等他这句话呢,自己又不能真的弄死他,可是接下来怎么说呢?说让我占用他的身体?不行啊,那我地狱大魔头的权威就没了.灵机一动,有了,
"If you want to live, so be it. Originally, I was going to take you away and let your brother's soul occupy your body. He still has a mission in life and unfinished business in the mortal world. If you do not hinder his mission, I will let you share this body with him."
"你想不死,也行,本来我要把你捉走,让你哥哥的灵魂占用你的身体,他尚有人生使命在身,尘缘未尽.如果你不耽误他的使命,就留你和他共用一个身体吧."
"Ah, thank you... May I ask what your name is, sir?"
"啊谢谢...请问阁下怎么称呼?"
"It's gone. I'm your brother," Lin Yuhui said, not bothering to explain further. He tied Hunter's limbs into a knot and tossed him aside, then quickly stretched himself into Hunter's body. He felt his muscles stiffen, still holding the same position as before. Grace was looking at him in confusion, and Hunter's twelve-inch tool was still inside her, though it had gone somewhat limp.
"它走了,我是你哥,"林语晖懒得理他,糊弄他一句就把他四肢打了个结,扔在了一边,然后赶紧伸展自己进入了亨特的身体,感觉全身肌肉僵硬,依然保持着刚才的姿势,面前的格蕾丝正疑惑地看着自己,而亨特的十二寸作案工具还在她的身体里,只是有些软了.
Grace's red, tear-streaked eyes scanned him up and down, her mind racing to compare his features to those of her late husband. Her fear and anxiety finally became too much to contain, and she uttered a single word,
自己面前格蕾丝那双哭红的眼睛,正上下打量着自己,满脑子都是他与自己亡故丈夫的特征比对,那惶恐的情绪,忐忑的心绪,终于压抑不住,问出一个字,
"You..."
"你..."
Continue what had started or leave? It was a dilemma that left Lin Yuhui torn. The impulse Grace had felt to seek solace for her inner pain had been ignited by Hunter's deception and deliberate seduction. If he walked away now, he would undoubtedly inflict double damage on her: the pain of losing her husband multiplied by the pain of betraying his memory. But if he continued, he did not love her. Although she seemed nice enough, his heart already belonged to another—Liana. No matter where she was, she was the unshakable lingering attachment in his heart.
继续刚才的一切还是离开?这真是一个让林语晖进退两难的选择.格蕾丝那内心伤痛所寻求慰籍的冲动已经被亨特用欺骗和蓄意诱惑引燃,自己这样放手她无疑是再给她双重伤害,丧夫之痛的伤害再加乘背叛亡夫的伤害.可是如果继续,自己并不爱她,虽然她看起来也不错,可是自己已经心有所属了,莉安娜.不管她身在何方,都是自己心中那一丝不曾割舍的牵挂.
Watching Hunter slowly recover from his stiffness, Grace asked hesitantly,
看着亨特慢慢从身体僵硬中缓和回来,格蕾丝略显彷徨地问,
"What's wrong with you?" Her voice came out squeezed from her throat, trembling slightly. Shame and guilt were building and churning in her heart.
"你怎么了?"声音从喉咙中挤出来,有些颤抖,羞耻与愧疚正逐渐在她的心中累积翻腾,
Sensing the changes in Grace's emotions, Lin Yuhui had no time to hesitate. He gritted his teeth and admitted,
体会着格蕾丝内心的情感变化,林语晖没有时间再犹豫了,只好咬牙承认,
"I'm Theodore. I've possessed Hunter's body."
"我是西奥多,上了亨特的身,"
"Ah, really?" Grace was on the verge of tears.
"啊,真的吗?"格蕾丝要哭了,
Lin Yuhui quickly searched her memories for fragments of her life with her late husband to dispel her doubts.
林语晖赶紧从她的记忆里搜索她与亡夫的生活片段,以便消除她的疑虑,
"It's me, my little pink rabbit," Lin Yuhui said softly through Hunter's body, caressing her cheek to soothe her fragile emotional balance.
"是我,我的小粉兔,"林语晖通过亨特的身体,手抚格蕾丝的脸颊轻声说,安抚她内心脆弱的平衡.
"Oh, Theodore," Grace whispered the man's name, then closed her eyes, allowing the other man's comfort to wash over her.
"哦,西奥多,"格蕾丝念着一个男人的名字,然后闭上了双眼,容纳了另一个男人的安抚,
And Lin Yuhui, in the most intimate way, comforted the deep wound in a woman's heart, while his own mind was filled with thoughts of another woman.
而林语晖,用最深沉的方式,安慰着一个女人内心深处的创伤,却在自己的脑海中萦绕着另一个女性.
Hunter's twelve-inch tool was indeed effective. Although it still hurt a little from the kick he had received earlier, and had gone limp for a while, it was now responding to Grace's deep, warm embrace. Lin Yuhui, who had not touched a woman in decades, quickly found his rhythm. He held Grace tightly, filling the emptiness left by her husband's death with his sincere and abundant care. Even though she was not the woman he loved, his compassion and pity locked his attention onto her like a hook and chain.
亨特的十二寸作案工具果然好用,虽然刚才被自己踢了一脚还有些疼,中间有断线了一阵子,有些疲软.而现在有了格蕾丝最深沉温暖的收纳,已经有几十年没碰过女人的林语晖也很快进入了自己的状态,搂紧格蕾丝的身体,用自己真诚充实的关爱充填这个女人丧夫的空虚,虽然不是他所爱的人,但是他内心的同情与怜悯却如同钩锁一样,把自己的注意力锁在了这个女人身上.
Tender care and honest acceptance can always work miracles in saving those who have been hurt by love. Under Lin Yuhui's direction, he used Hunter's body to perfectly erase the impact of Grace's loss, making it almost as if nothing had happened at all.
温柔的关爱与坦诚地接纳总能在拯救因爱受伤的人的过程中创造奇迹,经过林语晖的情节导演,他用亨特的身体完美抹去了格蕾丝失去丈夫的影响,基本已经等同于什么也没有发生了.
"Theodore, how did you come back?" Grace asked, resting her head on Hunter's arm.
"西奥多,你是怎么回来的?"格蕾丝枕着亨特的胳膊问,
Lin Yuhui's mind was still lingering on their recent intimacy. Suddenly asked this question, he had to quickly make up a convincing story.
林语晖的思绪还在刚才的缠绵,突然被格蕾丝这样问,他还要马上编一个能让她信服的故事经过,
"Ah, the Grim Reaper made a mistake. He took the wrong person. But I can't go back to my own body anymore, so I had to come back in Hunter's."
"啊,死神弄错了,它抓错了人.但是我已经回不到自己的身体了,所以只能借亨特的身体回来了."
"Oh, did you see the Grim Reaper?"
"哦,你看到死神了么?"
"Ah, no. I think that's what happened."
"啊,没有,我想是这样吧,"
"Oh, I thought he had told you himself," Grace replied calmly, seeming not to care what answer he gave.
"哦,我还以为它亲口和你说的,"格蕾丝平静地回答,似乎并不在意他给了什么样的答案,
Lin Yuhui knew his lie was not very good. His gaze drifted past Grace's cheek to the crescent moon rising over the desert. Its pale yellow curve lifted a streak of greenish-brown, orange, and red clouds, hanging over the endless expanse of sand and stone. His heart was filled with peace.
林语晖也知道自己的瞎话编的不咋地,视线掠过格蕾丝的脸颊,眼望大漠中初升的弯月,用它嫩黄的月牙,挑起那一抹青棕橙红的云霞,挂在砂石绵延的荒漠天边,内心充满平静.
Had he done the right thing? Probably. But deep down, he couldn't help but feel guilty towards Liana. Should he let go of the past and start a new life? The sight of the crescent moon over the desert seemed to be speaking his innermost thoughts.
自己是做了一件对的事吗?因该是吧,可是内心深处却总觉得对不住莉安娜,是不是自己应该抛下过去,开始新的生活了呢?而眼前那一幕荒漠新月,仿佛在倾诉着自己的心声.
"Theodore, what are you looking at?" Grace asked, turning her head to look out the window at the distant scenery. Yesterday, that lonely moon had been a symbol of her being left alone in the world. Today, it had become a messenger of love crossing from the underworld to the mortal realm, rekindling her hope for life.
"西奥多,你在看什么?"说着,格蕾丝也扭回头,回望窗外远景.昨天那孤单月影还是自己被孤身一人被遗留在世间,而今天,它却成了爱人跨越冥界到阳间的信使,重燃自己人生的希望.
The cold moonlight fell on Grace's cheek, but her heart was already burning hot. The return of her lost love had made the past few days feel like a dreamlike rollercoaster ride.
清冷的月光照在格蕾丝的脸颊,可是她的内心却早已火热,爱人的失而复得,这几天的经历就如同梦幻的过山车一般.
After a moment, she turned her face back to Hunter, looked into his eyes and asked,
只是片刻,她又把脸转回了亨特,望着他的眼睛问,
"You won't leave me again this time, will you?" As she spoke, she stroked his cheek reluctantly.
"这次回来,你不会再离开我了吧?"说着,不舍地用手抚摸着他的脸颊,
This was exactly the question Lin Yuhui had been dreading. He had intervened in this chain of cause and effect out of an excess of compassion, and now it seemed he was going to be trapped here. He had no idea if he could occupy Hunter's body for long, after all, he had never done anything like this before.
林语晖就怕她这么问,自己因为爱心泛滥介入了这因果,现在看来真的要被缠住留在这里了.也不知道自己能不能长时间这样占据亨特的身体,毕竟他之前也没做过这样的事情.
"Theodore, don't leave me," Grace said, her anxious heart unable to wait for his answer. She cupped his cheeks in her hands and pressed him.
"西奥多,不要离开我,"格蕾丝那不安的心已经等不及他的回答了,双手捧着他的脸颊追问,
"I won't. I will never leave you again."
"不会的,我不会再离开你."
