Chapter 68: The Face Under the Mask (6)
Looking at the bowl, he had an immunity to it because he had seen it twice before, but he had no intention of eating it at all. Instead, he seemed to be in a daze?
"You're really weird. You haven't eaten or drunk anything for five days. Don't you feel hungry?"
"Five days?"
Guisha noticed that Yinyin was thinking about something, so he spoke. Yinyin was stunned when she heard his words. Has it been so long?
"Don't you feel anything yourself?"
Let's not talk about the feeling. Yinyin herself also felt strange. If so much time had passed, why didn't she feel hungry or thirsty? Because of this, she didn't feel that time was passing. And how could the ghost know the time in such a place without sunlight?
"...You just said you would take me away from here? So you know the world outside?"
"I am a mortal like you."
Yin Yin only thought about leaving here instead of returning to the outside world. It seemed that she did not listen to Guisha's words completely. She had never thought that Guisha was a mortal or an ordinary person. She could confirm that he was a mortal but not an ordinary person, but why did he live alone in such a place where there was no sunlight?
"How's it going outside now?"
"How is it? Don't you know? The outbreak of plague in Weicheng will sooner or later spread to the entire Guanzhou. Although I am not worried about being infected, I still have to leave here."
"What? Plague??"
This was the first time Yinyin heard about the plague. If Guisha hadn't said it, she might never have known about it. Looking at Yinyin's reaction, Guisha's expression under the mask was slightly surprised. Didn't she leave Weicheng because she knew about it?
"You really don't know? It should have happened last month. The first place where the plague was discovered was in a remote village in Weicheng. Because Prince Jing Zhou Yan had completely blocked the area, no one knew about it. But not long ago, the plague infected too many people, so the news leaked out. As the number of infected people continued to increase, the area gradually expanded. It should have spread to Weicheng by now."
Yin Yin was stunned, she had never known these things, but speaking of last month, wasn't last month the time when Zhou Yan was often not at home?
"Speaking of which, Prince Jing is really an unpredictable man. He used to be a man who would not blink an eye even if he massacred hundreds or thousands of innocent people, but now he actually stays in the most dangerous place. It is hard to imagine why he stays."
The words of the ghost pierced Yin Yin's heart like needles. Why didn't she know all this? She had never thought about what Zhou Yan was doing, or even why Zhou Yan wanted her to leave. She only knew the danger, but never thought it would be such a disaster. However, even in the face of a disaster like the plague, Zhou Yan could still take time to accompany her, and he didn't hesitate to spend his heart on her. What about herself? How did he feel when he was deadlocked with Zhou Yan for the sake of a person's life? Faced with a pressing situation, he said nothing, chose silence and protection, and endured everything to send herself away. Yin Yin could ignore Zhou Yan's previous actions, but she was very clear and sure that Zhou Yan's feelings for her were persistent but cautious, and he would protect her even at the cost of his life, but she would only choose to escape for herself every time. She couldn't count how many times she had hurt Zhou Yan in so many situations...
"What on earth did I do——"
She spoke with unspeakable pain, tears falling from her face, dripping into the bowl in her hands. Seeing Yinyin's appearance, Guisha was stunned. Yinyin's expression in front of him actually made him feel pity? He couldn't help but reach out to wipe the tears from her face, but finally held back. He began to wonder what happened to this woman in front of him? He only knew a rough idea. What on earth could make this woman in front of him always so sad? Every time she cried, her expression was always heartbreaking!
Yinyin thought about the cruel things she had done to a person who loved her with her life. She kept running away, trying to protect herself and the many lives that she didn't know whether they existed, and hurting a person who loved her with her life again and again. Was it really necessary to do this? At this moment, there was no truth or falsehood in Yinyin's mind. She only felt endless regret for what she had done...
Guisha didn't know how long Yinyin had been crying. After she fell asleep from exhaustion, he carried her to the bed. Although he didn't ask anything and Yinyin said nothing, he knew that only Yinyin herself knew what had happened to her. Even outsiders who knew it would not know what was in her heart. Therefore, only she knew how deep the pain in her heart was. The pain in another person's heart is not something that an outsider can reveal at will. Guisha is not the kind of person who meddles in other people's business. Looking at the bracelet on Yinyin's right wrist, he guessed why the person who gave this bracelet would fall in love with Yinyin!
Looking at the sleeping Yin Yin, Guisha raised his hand and slowly took off the mask, then he slowly leaned down with his face close to Yin Yin's. He gently kissed away the tears that remained on Yin Yin's face and eyelashes, then he stared at her with cold eyes. He didn't know why he did this, but he didn't hate her or feel disgusted. He hated women but not Yin Yin in front of him. After deep thought, Guisha stood up and turned to the table. The face that had been hidden in the mask was so familiar. Now Guisha didn't know that he would change because of this face, and other men who were fascinated by Yin Yin would become crazy, and he would be one of them!
The truth is always unpredictable. The world is so big. Before, there was Lin Wei, and now there is Guisha. These two people are destined to become the most unforgettable existence in the lives of Yinyin and Zhao Ziheng!
