I raised my hand to touch the coldness on my face, and out of the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of Xiao Wanying's expectant gaze, and Mo Chen's frowning brows slightly in worry, and of course, I saw the damn imposter with a gloating expression.

"I'll explain this to you well, but before that, I have something I want to tell you, it's about my marriage contract with you......"

"Shut up!"

It's no wonder that she yelled at me in anger, all because of this incident, if it weren't for my unreasonable request, I don't know that it would have caused her homelessness and reputation.

I looked at her apologetically, gritted my teeth and continued, "Whether you want to listen to it or not, and whether you accept it or not, we still have to tell you a cruel truth......

As if asking for consent, I gave Xiao Wanying a look, and she immediately understood, sighed heavily, patted Qin Xueyuan's shoulder, and then continued my words.

"Snow kite, no moon building...... Nope. ”

Unexpectedly, after hearing Xiao Wanying's words, Qin Xueyuan's eyes widened suddenly, staring at her in disbelief, and after a long time, she gradually retracted her frightened look, and said in a trembling voice: "Gone?" Well...... I know what you mean, you're saying I can't go back for a while, are you? It doesn't matter, I can take a break from the outside, wait for the limelight to pass, and then find a way to go back, and then clarify the marriage contract in person...... I could have waited, it was really ......"

Her voice became smaller and quieter, as if she was trying to convince someone, but there was no confidence in her words, and she couldn't even "deceive herself" to achieve the desired effect.

"Snow kite!"

In Xiao Wanying's roar, there was helplessness and heartache. She held Qin Xueyuan's shoulders with both hands, forcibly turned her around to face herself, and then continued to say loudly: "You know what I mean, don't say this kind of self-deception, I just came back from Wuyue Tower, which has now been burned to a ruin, all the qiē have been turned to ashes, Wuyue Tower, it's really gone!" ”

"Impossible!"

Qin Xueyuan shook off Xiao Wanying's arms fiercely, shaking her head violently, bringing down the bean-sized tears in her eyes.

"Impossible, how can Wuyue Tower be destroyed in my hands, how, can it be ......"

Although I can't empathize, I can understand Qin Xueyuan's mood at this time. Therefore, even if she was beating me and scolding me like crazy now, I just stood where I was, not resisting, and at the same time stopped Mochen from trying to persuade them.

This "attack" launched by Qin Xueyuan lasted until midnight. Every inch of my body where she had hit me was numb.

"Is it over? Come out with me when you're done, I have something to tell you. ”

Qin Xueyuan was already exhausted, but when she heard my indifferent tone, she still yelled at me angrily: "What else is there to say?" You didn't do what you promised me, but you completely ruined the reputation of the entire Wuyue Tower, and even let it be completely ruined! What kind of heart are you at peace with? ”

"Come out with me, and I'll sue you."

I don't want to talk to her here anymore, because I see that the imposter has straightened up, and I must have seen enough of the excitement and want to get involved.

Therefore, I didn't care about any nonsense like "there is a difference between men and women", and I completely ignored Qin Xueyuan's resistance, so I picked her up and walked to the backyard.

"Let it go!"

When we got to the well, she immediately shook off my hand. Anyway, my purpose is just to talk to her alone, leaving aside the others—in fact, I just want to avoid Xiao Wanying. I wouldn't want to touch her if I didn't have to, and since she disliked me so much, I was happy to let go.

I saw her glaring at me fiercely, her eyes full of anger. She opened her mouth to speak, but I cut her back without mercy.

"Don't speak, listen to me. What I'm going to talk to you about is simple - the bet is nullified, and our engagement is annulled. From now on, you take your Yangguan Road, I cross my single-plank bridge, and you and I will not interfere with the river water. ”

I know that she didn't really want to marry me from the beginning, she, like me, just saw this marriage as a deal, and now it has proved to be a loss-making deal, so I thought that when I sued her for the marriage contract, she would naturally feel happy and relieved.

But it turned out that my hunch was never accurate. Qin Xueyuan not only didn't look happy at all, but ......

Caught off guard and slapped me in the face!

Even if she hit me for so long just now, it was just a hammer on my body, or a few kicks at me, this slap made me stupid, and the only thought left in my mind was just a "why".

Why the hell did I get this slap?

My movements were a little sluggish, and I slowly raised my hand to touch my somewhat hot cheeks, and then seemed to think of something again, and then added lightly: "If you need it, as compensation, I can continue to unilaterally fulfill my promise to you and help you kill your enemies." ”

"Smack-"

On the other side of my cheek, there was immediately a hot pain.

I looked at Qin Xueyuan, who had been crying silently without my knowledge, and asked, "Do you have any other requirements?" It's okay, as compensation, I'll do my best to do it for you, you name it. ”

"Shut up! That's right, from the very beginning we had a mutually beneficial relationship, to put it mildly, using each other, which I don't deny. However, I never thought that you, who made an agreement with me, would be such a despicable villain! You have made me homeless and ruined the reputation of Wuyuelou, but now you use a simple sentence of 'breaking the contract', and you want to treat it as if it has never happened......"

"I said, I can continue to help you. And this time, I don't need you to give me anything in return. So, what else are you not satisfied with? ”

"You can say this kind of heartless words, are you still not human?!"

Am I human?

Of course I'm not!

Qin Xueyuan cried very much, I always thought that she was so strong that she was indestructible, but when her self-protection barrier was broken, she was just a weak woman who was so weak that it made people feel distressed.

"I pride myself on being a strong enough person, but when my master was suddenly killed, I forced myself to take on the burden of reviving the Moonless Tower. Since I was a child, I have been inferior to Wanying everywhere, she is more talented than me, and I naturally know this, so I am willing to settle for second. But this time is different, I want to rely on my own strength to avenge the master, because I am the owner of Wuyue Building, I can't lose to anyone, even Wanying! ”

Qin Xueyuan wiped away her tears, her eyes were very firm: "Actually, I know very well in my heart that even the master was poisoned by that bastard, and even ...... died so miserably, even his head was cut off, and he couldn't even save the whole corpse...... In the face of such an enemy, I have no certainty of victory. I swore that I would swear to kill my enemies, but who knows how strong my conviction is, how strong my cowardice is. ”

Such a Qin Xue Kite is something I have never seen before, and I never thought that she would completely remove her disguise in front of me, ** naked to show her own weak side in front of me.

I looked at her in amazement, and she also raised her head to look at me, but her eyes were uncharacteristically a little blurry, and the undried tears seemed to be full of tenderness.

She said: "It was when I was helpless to the point of despair that you showed up, although it was a bargaining chip for the marriage contract, but I didn't mind at all. ”

I remembered the scene at the beginning, to be honest, even now, I am also very puzzled, why did she agree to my unreasonable request without hesitation at that time?

"Why don't you mind?"

"Heh-" She smiled, a smile mixed with tears, bitter but beautiful.

"Why? When you are clinging to a cliff, exhausted, and about to fall into the abyss and fall to pieces, a person suddenly appears, pulls you, and lets you see the long-lost dawn again, what will happen if it is you? Wuyuelou asked me to break off love, but that doesn't mean I'm a cold-blooded and ruthless person. I know how to be grateful, and even if it is a help with impure motives, I will always remember it. ”

As she spoke, Qin Xueyuan took a step towards the place where I was standing, and at this time, the distance between me and her was very small, and as she breathed, I could almost feel the rise and fall of her chest......

In the inevitable confusion, Qin Xueyuan suddenly reached out and stroked my cheek: "If it weren't for your 'breaking the contract', I wouldn't have had the opportunity to say these words to you, and you will never know, in fact, as early as the beginning of this transaction, I was hopelessly in love with my partner." ”

Although I usually like to talk about my "heartthrob", but in fact, it is just talking, and I never thought that there would really be a woman in front of me, personally admitting that she was devoted to me, let alone such an object that was originally just a mutual use.

It was a bit of a surprise, but it wasn't enough to panic me.

I listened quietly to what Qin Xueyuan said, and was stunned for a while before I spoke to respond to her words: "Whether your words are true or false, I don't need your wrong love." ”

I clearly captured the fleeting sadness on Qin Xueyuan's face the moment she heard my words, but she is still a strong enough person, and no matter how much sorrow she has, for her, she will only be stubborn and buried deep in her heart alone, not letting anyone peek into the weak place in her heart.

So, in the blink of an eye, she had collected her feelings, looked at me with a smile, and asked me a clear question word by word.

"Is it because of her?"

"Huh?"

Although there are no obvious ups and downs, no joy or sorrow, her agile perception makes it a little difficult for me to keep up with her thinking ability. For a while, I was still a little confused, and I didn't immediately react to who the so-called "she" in her mouth was.

However, she didn't express any dissatisfaction with my sluggishness, and even explained to me in a good-natured manner: "I'm talking about Yue Wanying. Do you understand what I mean? ”

Yes, totally understood.

I frowned slightly: "Maybe...... Not exactly. ”

I was telling the truth, and I didn't mean to prevaricate or perfunctory her at all. I admit that I have always been a cowardly villain, and I dare not even look directly at the true feelings in my heart.

Since I mistakenly thought that Qin Xueyuan was the reincarnation of the unlucky girl more than ten years ago, I have been forcing myself to "like" her against my will, and I don't care whether my heart can accept my own practice, anyway, I am such a selfish and shameless person, in order to survive, I will do everything, not only use her, but also deceive myself.

I can still vividly recall the appearance of the unlucky girl I saw again and again in Lethe, her disheveled, unkempt, and dirty hair, not only did not make people feel disgusting, but even blindly made me have a strong interest in her, and a strong sense of pity.

Even now, when I recall the infinitely repetitive scenes I once saw, this inexplicable feeling still exists. I naively thought that just with this, coupled with my greedy desire for knowledge, I could not care if I really had feelings for Qin Xueyuan or not.

I Phantom Moon never believed in fate, especially after I came back from the dead, and I deeply experienced the nature of numerology. Therefore, I don't believe in the so-called "fate", I don't believe in "fate" at all.

"Why does it have to be her? I, Qin Xueyuan, where can I compare to her Yue Wanying?! Obviously, she has been useless since she was a child, she can't subdue demons, she won't eliminate harm, but the master just likes her for no reason, I have always obeyed the master's words, and I think that my ability to catch demons will not be much worse than her, even if it is superficial to just talk about appearance, I am not necessarily inferior to her. But why do you only see her in your eyes? ”

Except for the death of the previous owner of Wuyue Mansion and the destruction of Wuyue Tower, this is the first time I have seen Qin Xue Yuan's love out of control. She had always been a person who had no joy or sorrow, and suddenly yelled at me like this without warning, and I had to realize that I might have really hurt her completely.

However, in the end, only I know best in my own heart, I don't know when it began, all my thoughts have been monopolized by a certain girl, every time I think of that marriage contract, I will unconsciously think of this irrelevant girl, and as soon as I think of this girl, I will begin to resist this marriage contract, but in order to be able to live, I have to continue to force myself to fulfill this marriage contract.

As a result, I was trapped in a painful cycle by myself, and this trap lasted for more than ten years.

"Although I still don't know why you had to marry me in the first place, I know that you must have been forced to do so, and I have always known this. So, from the very beginning, I never expected you to look at me squarely. Whoever it is, no matter who you really like in your heart, I can turn a blind eye, but why is it her? ”
