1767 Can’t Run Away From This
Hexin snapped out of it and clenched her handkerchief. It took her quite a while before saying in a dry voice, “There is no need for that. It was nothing. You don’t need to be bothered by it.”
Long Yin turned to look at her when he heard this. He was silent for a while before saying, “Did it really mean nothing to you? I took your…”
Hexin’s face turned red as she quickly cut him off. “Stop talking. You were drunk that night and I never blamed you for it…”
Long Yin’s deep, dark eyes stared straight at her.
Did she really not blame him?
If it did not bother her, why would she act so distant and cold with him?
Also…
His finger caressed the teeth mark at the side of his neck.
That girl had given him a hard bite back then. Her bite had woken him up instantly from what he was doing.
“Hexin, stop lying to yourself. What happened back then is still bothering you. Moreover, it was entirely my fault and it is only right that you’re bothered by it. I just wish it won’t become a traumatic experience you can’t get over.” Long Yin sighed. He hoped his ridiculous behavior would not bring her unnecessary trouble and make her uncomfortable. However, regarding that matter, it had always been something he could not let go of.
Long Yin had always held his liquor well, but that night, he got himself drunk.
It was Ji’er and Chu Qi’s wedding, and he had drunk too much…
Beitang You could not make it for Ji’er and Yaoyao’s coming-of-age ceremony, but he managed to arrive for Ji’er and Chu Qi’s wedding. He had even brought along a few vats of Yan Kingdom’s signature strong liquor.
Long Yin had been a little despondent then—after tasting that liquor, he felt tipsy for the first time.
While he was trying to sober up while sitting in the corridor, Hexin passed by. She noticed that he was drunk and wanted to talk him out of sitting there in the wind. In the end, he was so drunk that he…
Hexin’s hands, which she placed her on knees, clenched tightly into fists.
It was a memory buried deep inside her that she did not want to remember, but it began to play clearly in her mind again.
She had never expected a drunk Big Bro Long Yin to be so scary.
“I’ve already forgotten about it. Can you please not talk about it anymore?” Anger appeared on her face as she said this in a low voice.
Why must he mention this when she had tried so hard not to think about it?
“I don’t need you to take responsibility and you don’t need to be remembering this.” She paused and said with slight anger, “Moreover, I’ve already come of age. My parents are also helping look out for a suitable family to marry into. I’ll be getting married soon and I don’t wish for my life to be disrupted because of you. Let’s end this here.” With that, she stood up and stepped over his legs to leave.
However, she had just got up and before she could walk over his legs, something grabbed her wrist firmly.
Before Hexin could react, she was pulled into an embrace.
She was a little dizzy from what just happened.
“You’ve just come of age and you’re already thinking about marriage?”
The man’s voice was filled with anger as it boomed above her head, which stunned her.
When she realized what was happening, she replied with equal anger. “What has this got to do with you?”
“Do you think it has nothing to do with me?” Long Yin had no idea why he was angry, but when he heard her bluntly informing him about getting married, he suddenly felt furious. “We’ve kissed and have gotten even more intimate than that. Can you still claim that this has nothing to do with me?”
Hexin’s mind went blank and her eyes widened as she stared at him in shock.
It had never occurred to her that he would spout words only a hooligan would say.
Her eyelashes fluttered after a while as she snapped out of it. She lowered her eyes. “It doesn’t matter. I’ll just pretend I was bitten by a bug.”
A bug?
Long Yin’s eyes narrowed. “I never expected you to be such an open-minded person. However, I wonder if your future husband would mind this if he found out about what happened.”
Hexin could tell that he was threatening her and she was immediately angered. “You were the one who crossed the line with me—I was forced into it. It was clearly your fault. Why would you still push me into a corner this way?”
