Chapter 34 – Fairy Tales Are All Lies (34)
However, he was unwilling to always appear in front of her with feigned innocence. He wanted her to know who exactly was the master of the game.
Yet, he couldn’t help but wonder if he could receive the same treatment from her in his true self.
All thoughts became tangled.
Xiuyin straightened up, his aura dispersing, and he looked at the lingering tears in Yan Luo’s eyes with a hint of complexity.
He took a step forward, came directly in front of Yan Luo, bent down within her cautious gaze, and gently touched the teardrop at the corner of her eye with his fingertip.
It was moist and warm.
“Why are you crying?” Xiuyin slightly lowered his gaze, looking at the dampness on his fingertips.
Was she feeling wronged? Was she really unwilling to be with him? These answers made Xiu Yin feel uneasy in his chest.
Finally, he sighed, sat on the bed, and pulled Yan Luo, who was still resisting, into his arms.
Then, gently but slightly awkwardly, he stroked Yan Luo’s back. “I can give you time.”
Implicitly, it meant that he wouldn’t accept any answer other than acceptance.
Yan Luo stared with her eyes, then bit Xiu Yin’s shoulder. She was a timid girl who had never experienced such a thing. Tears rolled down her eyes uncontrollably.
—This bad guy!
“Xiuyin!” Yan Luo loosened her bite and took a deep breath, hating the weakness of her body.
“Yeah,” Xiu Yin responded casually, pursing his lips. One hand comforted Yan Luo’s back, the other played with Yan Luo’s hand, his gaze fixed on her pristine hand, playing with it.
“We’re not suitable,” Yan Luo gritted her teeth, uttering each word.
Xiuyin’s movements also froze, raising an eyebrow and looking at Yan Luo. “I’ve already refuted your silly reasons.”
The boy’s clear gaze, still with a hint of childishness, showed an indescribable calmness. “Just now, it was my impatience. I cannot deny what you said, but I can clearly tell you that it’s different from what you said. Stay by my side with peace of mind, and you will find things are not as bad as you think…”
Xiuyin’s tone carried a hint of temptation. With his head resting on Yan Luo’s shoulder, such a tone could make any girl’s heart flutter.
But not her.
“…” Yan Luo slightly lowered her gaze, reaching out to touch his soft hair.
How much of it is genuine, and how much is fake?
He himself probably can’t tell, right?
For a child who yearns for warmth, losing his warmth overnight would only make things worse, right?
She seemed to have inadvertently made a mess of things.
What should she do now?
Should she take advantage of his goodwill to lower his Blackening Value, then leave? After all, he is just someone from another dimension…
But needless to say, that is impossible.
This is exploitation, another unfairness to this child who originally had a dark beginning of life.
Although such things are inherently unfair, no one has ever dictated that you must give the response they want if they respond to you. “There are many warmth in this world, why cling to me?”
Yan Luo pursed her lips, truly puzzled. Isn’t the person in front of her the one who should be cold-hearted? She originally thought that helping him avoid those tormenting points would be enough, who would have thought there would be such complications.
Xiu Yin lowered his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking. Then, he leaned towards Yan Luo’s face, his azure eyes staring straight into Yan Luo’s black eyes.
