Chapter 3: Sadistic Love

He Yifei, who was in love, walked frantically through the chaotic streets, and the narrow space of the slum and the obstruction of debris made He Yifei's mood a lot more anxious, as if something was going to happen in the dark.

On this trip, He Yifei was looking for his first love, the goddess-like existence in his heart - Xin Nan.

As the setting sun receded lazily beneath the towering walls in the distance, the night began to spread to all corners of the slums. Even He Yifei, who has a strong physique, has been running wildly for a long time, and at this time his face is covered with beads of sweat and panting.

However, He Yifei did not slow down because of the exhaustion of his body, he couldn't remember how long he had been running, and he was just secretly cheering himself up in his heart. When the familiar shack came into his sight, He Yifei finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Whew, whew!"

He Yifei stood not far from the target shack, his hands repeatedly caressing his chest, calming the rhythm of his breathing.

"Xinnan!"

He Yifei tidied up his already tattered clothes a little, slowly walked to the side of the shack, and whispered his call through the dim tarpaulin used to shelter from the wind and rain.

Inside the shack, with the familiar sound of calling, there was a sudden sound of panicked footsteps. After a while, a petite figure hurriedly came out of the shack and turned towards He Yifei's place.

This woman is not tall, but above her round face, there are a pair of big eyes like round apricots. The old clothes full of patches couldn't hide her hibiscus-like temperament.

"Xin Nan!" Seeing his lover appear, He Yifei suddenly had a warm feeling of being under the warm sun.

"Yifei, why are you here?" Xin Nan saw He Yifei's appearance, although she was complaining, there was a touch of relief between her eyebrows.

Although he heard the lover's blame, He Yifei saw a flash of joy in Xin Nan's eyes, and his mood also became soothed.

"Xin Nan, I miss you!" He Yifei said bluntly, his hands couldn't wait to stretch out, holding the pair of lovers tightly.

"As soon as you fly, the celebration ceremony is about to start, at this time, you should prepare well!" Xin Nan held his hands, and suddenly felt like a deer was bumping into each other in his heart.

"Xin Nan, I miss you! I just want to see you again!" He Yifei avoided talking about the celebration ceremony, and just expressed his emotions.

"Yifei, can you calm down? Now, the most important thing for you is whether you can pass the screening of the celebration ceremony!"

Seeing the tenderness blooming in He Yifei's eyes, Xin Nan hurriedly lowered her head, avoiding the other party's eagerness. At the same time, she also broke free of the other party's palm and rescued her own hands.

"Xin Nan, for this celebration ceremony, I don't have any confidence at all!" The warmth in his hand was withdrawn, and He Yifei's heart became empty.

"Yifei, you must work hard to fight for it. Only if you are successfully selected by the Xianmen, can we have a future!" Hearing He Yifei's decline, Xin Nan's brows also deepened.

"Could it be that if I don't have the chance to enter the fairy gate, will we have to fly separately from now on and become like passers-by?" He Yifei didn't expect that today's Xinnan would become so snobbish.

"Perhaps, it really will be like that!" Xin Nan said softly, but her eyes couldn't help but glance at the shack on the side.

"Why? Could it be that my love for you is not as good as the recognition of the Immortal Gate?" He Yifei couldn't help but roar in a low voice.

"Yifei, we're not children anymore, can you be sensible?" Hearing He Yifei's roar, a trace of impatience rose on Xin Nan's face.

"Yifei, to tell you the truth, I have been recognized by the higher education institutions in the rich area, and after the celebration ceremony, I will enter there to continue my studies. However, a weak woman like me, even if she is engaged in enviable scientific research. However, Sifang City is so big and has such a large population, with my humble knowledge, it is difficult to get ahead!" Xin Nan's hands were kneaded indiscriminately, obviously her heart was also like a mess, which made her entangled.

"Really, it seems that your efforts have finally paid off!" Hearing Xin Nan's good news, He Yifei's mood suddenly turned into joy, and his eyes were also full of envy.

"However, even if I can enter a higher education school, what can this change? This world is respected by the strong! I still have my parents, and I have a younger brother who has nothing to do, how can I change their fate on my own?" Xin Nan shook her head gently, her face full of sluggishness.

"So, only if I am successfully selected by the Xianmen, your parents will agree to let the two of us get along, right?" Hearing this, He Yifei finally understood what Xin Nan meant.

"Yes! On my own, maybe in a few years, I can change their quality of life a little! However, if I want to escape this poor fate, I can only escape through the ......" Some words, Xin Nan could not say.

"However, there is no other way to go except to enter the Immortal Gate?" I believe that as long as I am willing to work hard, even if I can't enter the Immortal Gate, I will definitely be able to break through the world!" He Yifei clenched his fists and said confidently.

"Hmph! Yifei, you are too naïve! You can't enter the Xianmen, you can only serve in the military for ten years! Ten years! How many decades can there be in life? Could it be that they once didn't have the ambition you have now? But what did they get?" Xin Nan said, and with a wave of his right hand, he was already pointing to the narrow street between the shacks.

He Yifei looked along Xin Nan's arm, and what caught his eye was a series of staggering figures. Those people, all of whom were physically disabled during their service, were ruthlessly abandoned in this impoverished area.

"Yifei, do you want me to wait for you like that?" Xin Nan bit her thin lip and said ruthlessly.

At this moment, He Yifei was speechless.

Standing stunned in place for a long time, He Yifei tried several times, but found that he didn't know what to say. In the end, he could only let out a weak sigh and slowly turned around, ready to leave.

"Yifei! I didn't mean to hurt you! But you have to promise me that you must do your best to fight for that few places, okay?" Seeing He Yifei's lonely figure, Xin Nan couldn't help but take a few quick steps and hugged his back tightly.

"Xin Nan, I'll work hard! After the Qingle Ceremony, if I don't have a chance to get to the Xianmen, then from now on, I will never bother you again!"

This sentence was almost squeezed out of He Yifei's clenched teeth, he gently grabbed Xin Nan's hands together, and finally calmed down and slowly separated. Then, He Yifei didn't look back, and fled into the messy shack in a panic.

"I'm sorry!"

After seeing He Yifei's figure disappear into the bleak shack, Xin Nan could no longer control the pain in her heart, she sat down on the ground in a dejected manner, and the tears that drooped down were already wetting the placket in front of her.
