It seemed like a century.
When Yi Ge was exhausted and almost suffocated, the man finally let go.
She panted for a long time before she recovered and slowly raised her head.
Her eyes had now adjusted to the darkness, and she could see the other's sparkling eyes and his handsome features.
"Xinan, is that you?" she said softly. Her voice was as soft as the wind blowing through the bamboo shoots.
Silence spreads.
"It's me." After a long time, the person in the darkness answered in a hoarse voice.
It was indeed him...
Xinan used to be the one who loved her the most and would worry about . But now, they have become strangers and it is impossible to go back to the past... She felt her heart gradually sinking, very cold, as if it was immersed in the coldness of the Arctic Ocean.
"What's wrong with your right hand?" Xinan asked suddenly.
Yige struggled so hard just now that he had finally controlled her. However, her right hand always hung limply by her side. Could something have happened?
He did not answer with song and turned his face away.
His words just touched the most painful scar in her heart.
Xinan waited for a while, and when she stopped talking, he suddenly reached out and held her right hand.
Yige was shocked and used all her strength to push him away, but her left hand just touched his clothes and then fell down weakly.
Is there any way...if, he must want to know.
Xi Nan gently lifted up Yi Ge's right hand and stroked the soft and smooth hand in his memory. However, this was not the delicate hand in his memory. It was uneven and rough. His eyebrows suddenly frowned. Could it be... Could it be...
He couldn't bear it any longer, turned around and turned on the light.
The dazzling light made Dege unable to open her eyes, so she closed them.
Xi Nan was shocked by the scene before him. He held the hand covered with scars like rose vines, his eyes widened in disbelief, and his heart ached.
What a beautiful hand it was, with crystal clear skin, long and white fingers, and five small round dimples on the back of the hand. He loved her hand so much at that time, he always held it gently, breathed deeply in the fragrant scent, kissed the delicate hand, tickled her and made her giggle...
How did such beautiful hands become like this now?
So what happened?
Yige, she was such a delicate girl, she always cherished her beauty, how could she bear such a blow? She must be extremely hurt, right? He couldn't help looking at her with pity, and for a moment he almost had the urge to hold her in his arms and comfort her.
Yi Ge was completely unaware of his thoughts. She kept her eyes tightly closed, her long eyelashes trembling, and her face was calm and pale.
Xinan's eyes fell on her arms again, and he suddenly noticed the long sleeves. Could it be...
He took a deep breath and desperately pulled down her long sleeves.
Then, a scene even more shocking than before appeared before his eyes!
The arms that were once as white as jade were now covered with scars like rose vines!
Oh my God! What a heavy blow this is to a girl!
Xinan's breathing stagnated along with the scars, and his heart was in extreme pain, and he could hardly speak. When he was considering what to say, Yige suddenly opened his eyes and fiercely pulled her hand out of his hand.
Her chest kept rising and falling, and she looked at him pretending to be indifferent.
For some reason, Xi Nan's eyes, which were originally full of pity, gradually turned into a playful sneer after meeting her stubborn look.
"You've become like this?" He said coldly, with a cruel smile on his lips, "The once extremely proud princess, now your right hand is almost as weak as a cripple!"
"You——" Yi Ge was surprised at first, and couldn't believe that these words came from Xinan's mouth. Then she refuted stubbornly, "Whether I am disabled or not, it has nothing to do with you, right?"
But she felt extremely painful inside. Xinan actually... actually laughed at her like this... Her upper teeth bit her lower lip tightly, leaving a row of deep teeth marks.
"This is retribution." Xi Nan looked at her hurt eyes with amusement. He didn't know why he felt sad and happy at the same time. "I knew a long time ago that someone as indecisive as you should be punished."
His words stabbed Yi Ge like a knife, and her heart bled drop by drop, cold and silent. Her lips gradually lost their color, and became as pale as withered petals.
Seeing her like this, Xinan's feelings became more complicated. The more pity he felt, the crueler his words became: "Are you used to playing pitiful in front of that rich young master? Now you are acting like this in front of me? Oh, I shouldn't say that. You are the eldest daughter and princess. You only use your extraordinary methods on your prey. Now, has Li Chongyuan been conquered by you?"
"You have successfully captured another prey, but I wonder how long its shelf life is? Is it longer than mine? Or shorter? I am very interested in this."
Yige didn't look at him, as if she didn't hear what he said.
The ripples of memory gradually expanded...
What she worried about really happened...
