Xingtian’s eyes suddenly turned very grim. He said coldly, "Because I can’t be friends with you! I also said, whatever I want, I will definitely get it, otherwise I would rather destroy it than give it to anyone else!"
An Ruo closed her eyes in disappointment, no longer wanting to continue talking to him.
"Leave, I don’t want to see you right now."
"You don’t want to see me, but there will come a day when you’ll beg me to come and see you!" Xingtian swore, like a child who couldn’t get candy and thus made a fierce threat.
An Ruo quietly closed her eyes. Her calmness only further highlighted his restlessness and childishness.
Xingtian was also annoyed at this version of himself, but in front of her, he was no longer himself...
In the end, he left, the door closed, and An Ruo was the only one left in the small space.
She opened her eyes, filled with sadness. Would she really be locked here for the rest of her life?
No freedom, nothing, only endless loneliness to keep her company.
In just a few days, An Ruo tasted the feeling of being isolated from the world. People are indeed social animals, living alone is enough to drive someone mad.
But she could only silently endure, what else could she do?
Day by day passed. At first, An Ruo would calculate in her mind how many days had passed. Later, she simply marked with the character ’正’ on the wall without needing to remember.
Xingtian said he would keep her locked up, and he did, never showing up again.
Every day, someone would deliver food and daily necessities to her at a set time. No one spoke to her, no matter how she shouted, no one responded.
Just when she felt she was about to go crazy, Xingtian came to find her at the exact right time. He stood outside the door, not opening it to come in, and gently urged her to marry him, saying some affectionate words.
After hearing his words, An Ruo said with a cold smile, "Are you hitting me and then giving me a candy? Xingtian, just leave, don’t come to find me anymore, if you really have no intention to let me go."
The man outside the door instantly fell silent, and An Ruo couldn’t hear any sound, nor did she know if he had left.
Since that day, he never appeared again. Sometimes An Ruo wondered what she was holding on to, Xingtian offered such good conditions, not agreeing seemed foolish.
Agreeing with him would not only grant her freedom but also allow her to live well. Look at her now, what kind of situation, what kind of state she is in.
But... she chuckled bitterly, if she could have agreed, she would have already done so.
She couldn’t live day by day in such a manner any longer, nor could she give Xingtian any more opportunities because she knew she would definitely regret it, so she didn’t want to deceive anyone any longer, nor let him fall deeper and get hurt more.
The ’正’ characters on the wall grew more and more; six make up a month.
On the island, there was no temperature variation, it was spring all year round, neither cold nor hot. An Ruo only knew how much time had passed by counting the ’正’ characters and what season it was in City J.
There were already five ’正’ characters, she had been locked up for five months.
An Ruo couldn’t help but admire her own endurance, but her body... was getting worse.
Lacking sunlight for a long time and with this poor environment, her body was gradually losing weight, her skin turning white and translucent.
She was withering gradually; well, once she died, she wouldn’t be locked up for a lifetime.
Indeed, she was seeking death wholeheartedly, so her physical condition would only get worse.
That night, after it rained continuously, An Ruo fell ill.
