"Illusion…"
She walked up to him, feeling very awkward. There was no light in the room. She did not know if it was to save her face or for other reasons.
"Snow…"
He held the snow in his hands, looking so helpless and lonely.
He didn't know how to start a conversation. Perhaps it had been too long since he had encountered such a thing. Thinking about it carefully, the last time he punished her for doing push-ups was in front of 3, and the last time he whipped her was six years ago, but he didn't really want to hurt her either time. It had been 14 years since the punishment that had truly hurt her. That day when he had whipped her to the ground, he had regretted it so much. After that, he had carefully restrained his temper and reminded himself not to do such a thing again. He had finally endured it until now, but he did not expect...
There was no movement for a long time. Even the usually carefree Snow seemed to understand something.
"I won't hate you, Huan."
She understood his dilemma. She was already very satisfied. At least he still cared about her and knew to turn off the lights to leave her with her last bit of dignity. At least she still had some weight in his heart.
"Xue, can we talk first?"
Her voice was soft, as if she was seriously ill.
She obediently climbed onto the bed and sat beside him. Huan Shun's right hand wrapped around her waist and his left hand rested on her shoulder, leaning against her. She had never thought that the king, who was all-powerful during the day, would be so helpless at night. It was such a lean body, and the hand that usually held the knife had a thin layer of calluses. It was so terrifying, and it was stained with the blood of countless people, but now it felt so soft. Even women envied his body, and he was regarded as a Shura by his peers. When he was practicing martial arts, he had suffered countless hardships under his continuous attacks in one go. His coordination was so good, and now it seemed that he could only be described as gentle as water.
" I'm sorry," he said softly." I regret it.”
This sentence made her body tremble. Did this sound like something someone who was usually swift and decisive would say? Was he really him? He felt that something was wrong with him today.
She gently touched her forehead.
"I'm fine."
He quietly pushed her hand away.
He, who usually spoke with a hint of venom, actually said such words. How could that be called nothing? Even ghosts wouldn't believe this.
"I'm sorry for slapping you in front of you today.”His hand had unknowingly climbed up her face, and her face was tense." Does it still hurt? Forget about Mo Yi, he doesn't care about these anyway. I really didn't expect to beat you up too. I was really anxious at that time."
"I didn't take good care of you. I don't feel wronged at all." She hurriedly said," It's not worth it to hurt your body because of someone like me.”
Was this her evaluation of herself? For someone like her? In his heart, this child was his younger sister, his only younger sister in this world. The words " this kind of person " could not replace her. It was all his fault. It was all his fault that she had such a humble evaluation of him.
Besides, didn't he take good care of her? This sentence repeatedly circled in Huan's mind. If he didn't take good care of her, he should be beaten up. Did he take good care of her? Not only was it not comprehensive, but it could even be said to be abuse, right? Although the extent of each beating would recover in a night, at most, she would feel a little pain and there would not even be a mark. However, this brother of hers was really unprecedented in disciplining her so frequently. She deserved a beating for what she did, but what about him? Wouldn't they all be killed?
Seemingly noticing something, she smiled and said,""You're indeed an unprecedented brother. To be able to raise the child of an enemy who killed his family so carefully, there aren't many brothers with such a breadth of mind like you.”
His body stiffened. He didn't expect her to know the truth.
" I knew it a long time ago," she said calmly as she looked at his expression." The Jade Contract Sealed Dragon will contain all the memories of the past wearer, so unfortunately, when I know the truth, I naturally know what that man did to you.”
"I'm sorry."
Her parents were indeed her family's enemies, but wasn't he also her family's enemies?
"It's not your fault. They went too far.”Unexpectedly, she didn't have any thoughts of revenge." If they hadn't been so ruthless, Sister Yue wouldn't have ended up like this, and your family wouldn't have been destroyed. I should be the one apologizing."”
"If it were me, I wouldn't be able to do it.”
"If it were you, you could do better.”Huan's words made her widen her eyes." We're both enemies who killed each other's families, but you did better than me. I often think that if I did as well as you, you wouldn't have to suffer so much.”
"You didn't want revenge in the first place. They forced you, didn't they? They deserved it." She smiled. Although he knew that he was innocent, the pain she had suffered was far from enough to atone for their sins.
"You can't say that. After all, they're the ones who gave birth to you.”
"That's all. I'm very glad that I grew up under your care, not like them who are full of bad ideas and think about scheming against others every day.”
Even without seeing her, he could imagine how proud she was smiling and how gentle her expression was.
"I've always been afraid that you would leave me after you found out the truth. Now, the answer is right in front of me. I'm so lucky to have a sister like you.”
Snow's face blushed slightly. It was really too surprising that these words would actually come out of his mouth.
"I won't leave you. No matter what happens, I'll always be by your side.”
She subconsciously lowered her head and planted a kiss on his cheek.
Telling the truth meant that she would have to use the rest of her life to make it up to him. No matter what happened in the future, she would not be able to resist him. Although this sounded a little scary, wasn't he the same now? Did he really resist?
"Xue, even you think that I'm stubborn and that it's wrong to let Mo Yi participate in this competition?”
He had nothing else to say and could no longer find a topic to talk about. He could only return to the main topic and face this dilemma.
"I don't think your choice is wrong.”Her words completely stunned Huan." I just can't get used to the current him. He changed too quickly. An innocent child gradually adapted to the killer's behavior. I felt a little pitiful, so I unconsciously said these words.”
Huan Zhen did not know how to continue this sentence. Didn't she think that she would be able to easily escape this punishment if she expressed her opposition on the spot? No matter how much money he was willing to pay, she could easily escape this punishment. Why didn't he absolve himself?
"Huan, I've never thought of absolving myself, nor have I thought of defending myself.”
Her words made him have the urge to cry in front of others for the first time since that incident.
"A mistake is a mistake. I said these words without thinking and let everyone know. I naturally understand how bad the impact will be.”She paused for a moment." That's why I think I deserve to be punished. I won't blame anyone.”
Xue, I really don't want to…"
He bit his lips. How could he do it to such a sensible sister?
"You are the king, you have your own position, I can understand. I won't have any complaints if you do it. You still think of me. That's enough. You have to give everyone an explanation. Otherwise, everyone will say that you're biased towards me. Everyone is watching. Cheer up, I'm not in pain, really.”
How could the glass whip not hurt? He understood this pain very well. He had often suffered such beatings in the past. He would never forget the pain that was engraved in his heart.
He was clearly the perpetrator, but he needed the victim to comfort him. Although it sounded ridiculous, it was indeed a once-in-a-century situation.
"Life is too short, why create a position like the stars?”
He abandoned everything and did whatever he wanted. He was the king, but why didn't he have this bit of freedom? Regardless of whether he would get angry again in the future, he really wanted to protect his sister and love her well, but why did he have to hurt her?
"Xue, believe me. I really tried my best to control my emotions. I really tried not to take my anger out on you because of that incident. I've really let it go."
He didn't understand why he was still trying to absolve himself even now. His real brother was so shameless. After being hurt so many times, he still said such words. Sometimes, he really felt like a scumbag.
"Although you often suffer a little physical pain, you've always been merciful, and it's not without reason, right?”Instead, she smiled." I'm not an insensible child. How could I not see through such a thing? It's not like I don't know how hard you've dealt with your subordinates who made mistakes. You've really done a great job.”
"No matter what you do to me, you will always be my good brother.”
How ironic was it to say such things in the current situation! Huan could only smile bitterly. Would a good brother beat up his sister just because she said something rebellious? He really had no fate with these three words.
