The silence continued to spread, and he knew that Yan Xiaojing was thinking about what he was doing at that time. Shame made him remove his hand from her body and turn his back.

He shouldn't have said it.

He could fully imagine what Yan Xiaojing thought of him now. In reality, when his family needed him the most, he behaved so weakly. In the face of such a failure, what reason does Yan Xiaojing have not to hate him?

His heart sank to the bottom, and he began to wonder if Yan Xiaojing would still accept him, and greet him with her brightness and enthusiasm? Or, now that she knows everything, will she just leave?

He quietly waited for the moment when Yan Xiaojing got dressed and turned to leave.

But she was still lying on the bed.

Of course she would choose to stay, Xiao Lingyun immediately thought, because she already knew that her refining period would come no matter what, and she would need the help of his Yang Spirit at that time. It was necessary for her to survive.

He heard her sigh in the darkness, as if she had given up on holding on to something.

The two of them lay on the bed like this, without physical contact with each other, and they didn't know how long they had been lying down, probably for hours. He slept shallowly, until Yan Xiaojing suddenly turned over and pressed his long bare legs against him.

The tremor swept through his body, but he brutally suppressed it.

Perhaps, she is still dreaming. Xiao Lingyun felt that her actions were a little incredible.

"This moment is for you." She whispered, sending a tender kiss.

He said vaguely, "You still want to ...... Accept me? ”

There was confusion between her eyebrows: "Why don't I accept you?" ”

Relief and gratitude welled up in my heart and turned into a sentimental sigh. Xiao Lingyun got up again and wanted to hug her, but Yan Xiaojing firmly restricted his movement and prevented him from touching his body. She pushed Xiao Lingyun back to the bed, grabbing his wrist and pushing his arm behind his head.

After a long time, the room fell silent again.

"What?"

"Just to keep you where you are." He replied.

So she relaxed and let her body stick to Xiao Lingyun's body again.

She pondered in her mind the strange language he had spoken to her as they had done so, but the reverence and praise in her voice had told her a lot. No matter what he meant, it was all sweet words between lovers.

"Your language is beautiful." She said.

"But I can't find an adjective like you."

His voice was different, and it felt different to her.

There were no more obstacles, she thought, and there was no longer any barrier between the two. His deadly, ever-defensive, carnivore-like vigilance was gone.

What's even more unexpected is that she finds herself wanting to protect Xiao Lingyun.

It's a weird feeling to think that you should protect someone who is far superior to you physically. However, he does need to be guarded. Xiao Lingyun's heart was open to her, almost within reach. In this moment of silence, instigated by deep darkness, she could even feel the fragility in his heart.

Oh my God, that horrific past about the tragic death of his family.

"Lingyun?"

"Huh?" She wanted to thank Xiao Lingyun for confessing everything to her, but she didn't want the fragile intersection that the two had worked so hard to build up would be ruined.

"Has anyone ever told you that you are very beautiful?" She asked.

He smiled dumbly: "Fighters are not beauties. ”

"You are. To me, you are beautiful. ”

His breath froze, and he pushed her away. As soon as I jumped out of bed, the bathroom lit up with a soft light. She heard the sound of water spraying.

She should have known that the relationship between the two would not last, but she would still want to cry out loud because of the loss of Xiao Lingyun.

Yan Xiaojing fumbled to find her clothes and dressed them neatly.

When Xiao Lingyun walked out of the bathroom, she was walking towards the door.

"Where are you going?" He asked curiously.

"Company. I don't know what time it is, but usually I arrive at 9, so I'm pretty sure I'm late. ”

In the darkness, she couldn't really see it, but finally found the door.

"I don't want you to go." Xiao Lingyun suddenly appeared beside her, and the sound made at close range startled her.

"I have my life, and I'm going back to live my life."

"Your life is here."

"No, it's not."

She pressed her hand to the doorknob, using all her strength, but she couldn't turn at all.

"Are you letting me go?" She said unpleasantly.

"Yan Xiaojing." Xiao Lingyun picked up her hand and forced her to stop turning the handle. Presumably so that she could see her face clearly, the candlelight in the room came back on, and then he said, "I'm sorry, I may be a little ...... It's not easy to get along with. ”

She shook her hand away and said, "I didn't mean to embarrass you, I just wanted you to know how I felt, that's all." ”

"But I can't believe you don't hate me."

Yan Xiaojing looked at him in disbelief and asked in surprise, "Why do you think so, why should I hate you?" ”

"Because you know what's going on in my family."

"About the death of your parents?" She opened her mouth in surprise, "Let me just ask, do you think I'm going to hate you for being forced to witness the brutal murder of your own parents?" ”

"I didn't go to save them." He insisted.

"Because you're locked up."

"I'm a coward."

"You're not!" It may not be fair to him to be angry with this man for this, but why can't he look at the past soberly? Yan Xiaojing thought depressedly, "How can you say ......?"

"Because I stopped screaming later." He replied loudly, his voice echoing through the room, startling her as well.

"What?" She asked quietly.

"I didn't scream anymore. When they killed all my parents and dog slaves, I stopped screaming. The servants were searching the area near my house, and they were looking for me. But I covered my mouth tightly with my hands, and I didn't dare to let out. I was praying not to let them find me. ”

"Of course you should," she said gently, "because you want to live." ”

"No," he roared back, "I'm afraid of death!" It's a coward! ”

She reached out to comfort him, but he pushed her away.

"Xiao Lingyun, can't you see it? You are a victim just like them. The only reason why you are still in this room today is because your father loves you so much that you have survived safely. You are silent because you want to live. There's nothing to be ashamed of. ”

"I'm a coward."

"Don't be vexatious! You just witnessed your parents being killed! She shook her head angrily and raised her voice in disappointment, "I'm telling you, you should revisit what you've been through. Those terrible hours have become your nightmares, and in fact, who can blame you for that? It's you who think completely wrong, and think all of them crookedly. Hurry up and put down the so-called Glory of Fighters and let yourself relax! ”
