It was only then that Yue Xin realized that Yi Chengxuan, who looked like he had no weakness, was terrifyingly weak when she got close. Even she could easily control the strength of his struggle. Of course, this might also be because she had been training with Alex for the past year.
In short, at this moment, Yue Xin had the illusion that she was forcing herself on a good woman, but it was only for a moment. She lifted Yi Chengxuan’s sleeve and saw that Yi Chengxuan’s left arm was densely covered in wounds and scars. Some wounds had already healed, and some were still bleeding.
Yue Xin didn’t know how to describe this feeling. She asked, “Is this the real you that you hid?”
Yi Chengxuan didn’t answer or struggle. He just hid his face under his messy hair and faced the window.
Yue Xin waited for a while. Seeing that Yi Chengxuan did not react, she grabbed his chin and turned his face back.
What greeted her eyes were Yi Chengxuan’s slightly red cheeks and red marks at the corners of his eyes. Tears hung on his curly and long eyelashes and lingered on his pale face, unwilling to fall.
Yi Chengxuan was crying.
Yue Xin took a full ten seconds to accept this fact.
What kind of person was Yi Chengxuan? If someone had asked Yue Xin before tonight, she would definitely have said that Yi Chengxuan was a very dangerous person. He was too perfect and knew everything without any flaws. But now, she was not sure.
She had also thought that the scene in front of her might be Yi Chengxuan’s scheme. He had deliberately let her see it, but when her gaze landed on the scratch on Yi Chengxuan’s arm that she had just scratched, she could not be sure.
Yi Chengxuan’s body seemed to be too delicate. It was the same last time. His hands were very cold.
Yue Xin looked at the corner of Yi Chengxuan’s eyes and didn’t say anything in the end. She just turned around and went to the storeroom to look for the first aid kit she had seen earlier.
The last time Yue Xin accidentally saw this medical kit, she realized that the frequency of use of the things inside seemed to be a little high. She originally thought that Yi Chengxuan had given them to someone else. Now that she looked at his wound, it was obvious that Yi Chengxuan had used them himself.
Yue Xin returned to Yi Chengxuan’s bedroom with the first aid kit. The wine bottle in his hand was half empty again, and there was a new wound on his left arm. Red blood was especially eye-catching on his pale skin and slowly dripped down his arm.
Yue Xin silently walked towards him and forcefully grabbed his left hand to apply medicine and bandage it.
Yi Chengxuan didn’t struggle this time and didn’t say anything. After Yue Xin finished bandaging, he roughly tore open the gauze and tore the wound wider, causing more blood to flow, as if he was demonstrating to Yue Xin.
Yue Xin looked at Yi Chengxuan, who seemed to have become a different person in front of her, and continued to forcefully control his movements. She bandaged him and threatened, “If you dare to tear it off again, I’ll throw away your lacquer bracelet.”
Yi Chengxuan’s rebellious hand fell silent after Yue Xin said this. He lay back and sighed as if he had completely given up. “I won’t tear it up anymore. Are you satisfied? Can you go now?”
Yue Xin could hear the tears in Yi Chengxuan’s voice. She wanted to do something, but she didn’t know what to do. She knew how to control and scheme. She was best at peeling off other people’s disguises to reveal their hearts. However, when a heart appeared naked in front of her, she was at a loss.
Yi Chengxuan was like this now. There was no pretense left; only a broken heart.
Yue Xin opened her mouth and hesitated for a moment before asking, “Did you deliberately let me see this?”
Yi Chengxuan lay on the bay window and didn’t look at Yue Xin. It was unknown what he was thinking. After a long while, he said softly, “Deliberately, Yue Xin. You underestimate yourself.”
“How can I still scheme against you now? Just getting close to you is enough for everything I have to be blocked.”
Yi Chengxuan’s words were a little strange, making Yue Xin frown unconsciously. “You can choose to stay away from me.”
“No, you’re my last hope.” Yi Chengxuan seemed to be drunk and revealed a lot of information that Yue Xin usually couldn’t get out of him. However, Yue Xin couldn’t confirm the authenticity of this information, so she didn’t reply.
After a while, Yi Chengxuan didn’t seem to hear Yue Xin’s reply. He thought that she had already left and finally sat up straight. In the end, as soon as he turned his head, his eyes met Yue Xin’s. There was nothing in those eyes, but it also seemed to be everything. Just as Yi Chengxuan had judged when he first looked at Yue Xin, Yue Xin could be made into anything.
Yi Chengxuan retracted his gaze. “Why haven’t you left?”
Yue Xin had already sat back on the sofa in Yi Chengxuan’s bedroom and said matter-of-factly, “Didn’t you say that I have to spend New Year’s Eve with someone important?”
