"Mom...??! No, wait, Yun Hao, can you control your freeloading spirit??"
I held my forehead on the spot, feeling completely off the scale, and embarrassingly so at one-second intervals!!
Yun Hao maintained the same pose, one hand on his hip, "In the time I was away from you, I reflected deeply and I won't suppress myself anymore. I'm not going to remain calm and rational all the time; I want to do what I desire."
"So, you just let yourself go, heedless of anything else, and now you're calling me mom?? Huh??" My head was about to explode with ten thousand lines of black, yet I could feel the chilly aura emanating from Yun Hao.
Knowing all too well how stubborn the kid was, I sighed, "It's your choice to call me mom, but don't get so close. After all, I am a married woman; maintain some distance, okay?"
"Yu Longting is dead, he's not coming back. Let me be your support, to be your son, to be your man."
As he spoke, Yun Hao's fingers unexpectedly touched my leg, gently brushing against it.
I had no idea how he could say such cringeworthy lines with a straight face; after knowing him for so long, I never thought he'd turn out to be a pervert.
Not only was he creepily touching me inappropriately, he was creating taboos where there were none!
I bit my lip and kicked the delirious Yun Hao away, pulling out the hairpin in my hair and pressing it against his chest, "Even if you rot in the ground and become fertilizer, my Yu Longting won't die, Yun Hao!! I'm sparing you because you once saved me, but... please respect yourself!"
"Stab it in then, after all... it's not like I haven't been... betrayed before in my life," Yun Hao said with a hint of disdain flashing in his cold pupils.
My fingers trembled for a moment; I truly didn't want to poke at his painful memories, but he forced my hand. It was he who cursed Yu Longting first, "I'm not stabbing you in the back; I'm stabbing you in the front, in broad daylight! Yun Hao, better leave now, or I'll take your life!"
"I'm a snake, not a dog." Yun Hao coolly grasped my hairpin, seriously discussing the matter of his species with me.
Then, before the watchful eyes of all, he suddenly thrust it deeply into his own flesh, "He died in the Polar Abyss; I saw it with my own eyes. If you don't believe me... then just stab it in."
The people around us didn't dare to interrupt our conversation; the air was as silent as the deepest chamber of an ancient tomb.
"What was he doing in the Polar Abyss if he was doing fine?" At that moment, it was as though someone had slit my windpipe, filling it with a cold wind so painful that every word I spoke seemed as if uttered on the edge of a knife.
Yun Hao shrugged, his fingers staining with the blood oozing from his chest, and slowly pulled out a black cellphone from his belt, "I... took it from his body."
"Yu Longting's cellphone!!" I immediately took it in my hands, only to jerk away from the coldness on it.
This coldness seemed to have a life of its own, swiftly moving from the tips of my fingers and enveloping my entire hand in frost before finally stopping.
The cellphone was frozen and beyond starting up.
My mind buzzed, and suddenly everything seemed pitch black. Yun Hao's voice continued beside me, "As for why Yu Longting jumped, how would I know? I was just trying to cool off in the icy water, to restrain my longing for you. Out of nowhere, I saw him jump in, encase himself in ice, with all three Life Lamps extinguished."
All three... Life Lamps... extinguished?? Fresh chapters posted on novel[f]ire.net
Yun Hao is not the kind of person to lie. Yu Longting really... is gone...
The only thought in my mind was, without Yu Longting, what joy is there in life for me?
The feeling of utter desolation was only momentary. The Qi Sea within my Dantian surged like a tsunami, chaotically tossing everything around, leaving nothing but ruins…
