As soon as he got angry, Lin Xinlan’s temper flared up as well.
"I insist on saying it, everything I say is the truth! You know exactly how you’ve treated me, Rong Shaoze, I can get along with you, and I can leave you alone and not bother you, but you’d better not disturb me! I’ve made my point clear, and I hope you understand that, from now on, stay away from me!"
"You!" Rong Shaoze clenched his teeth in anger, her words were so hurtful, and yet he couldn’t do anything to her.
Trying to calm his anger, he said in a softer voice, "Alright, I admit I treated you terribly in the past, I apologize to you, and I hope you can forgive me. From now on, I won’t treat you like that, can we get along?"
Lin Xinlan coldly laughed, "With just one apology, can you erase the pain I have suffered? Let me tell you, the pain you’ve caused me, I will never forget in my lifetime! I will never forgive you for my entire life, let alone get along with you."
"What do I have to do for you to forgive me?" Rong Shaoze asked in a deep voice.
"Stay away from me, it’s best not to appear before me. Perhaps over time, I might forget about you, and also the pain you’ve caused me," she said coldly.
Rong Shaoze’s pupils constricted.
He will not allow her to forget him, nor will he disappear from her sight.
He pulled her left hand, interlocking his fingers tightly with hers.
Rong Shaoze lifted his gaze, his deep eyes solemnly looking at her, "I absolutely won’t allow you to forget me, and I won’t vanish from before your eyes. If you don’t plan to forgive me, then don’t."
What he wanted was just to have her by his side to alleviate the ’poison’ in his body. As for how she felt about him, that wasn’t his primary concern.
Upon hearing this, Lin Xinlan felt a chill in her heart.
She wanted to shake off his hand, but he held it so tightly, as if it had fused with her hand, she couldn’t get away at all.
She really feared that one day Rong Shaoze might blend into her body, unable to be separated from her ever again...
A prickling feeling hit Lin Xinlan’s eyes, and she closed them as if stabbed by needles.
Just the thought of them being inseparable was terrifying to her, utterly unbearable...
"What’s wrong?" Rong Shaoze, seeing her strange reaction, asked in confusion.
She opened her eyes, yelling with all her might, "Let go, stay away from me, get lost!"
The man’s face darkened, but instead of letting her go, he pulled her into his arms, holding her tightly.
Lin Xinlan punched and kicked at him, to no effect, and she ended up biting down hard on his neck.
Soon, Rong Shaoze’s neck was bitten open, and blood started to flow.
He raised his hand to pinch her chin, trying to get her to let go, but she bit his hand instead, breaking the skin on the back of his hand.
"You..." The man was infuriated, wondering what had gotten into her.
Was there a need to be so emotional?
"Enough!" He forcefully withdrew his hand, pushing her away, but he controlled his strength so she wouldn’t fall to the ground.
Once Lin Xinlan was free, she quickly retreated to a corner, keeping her distance, warily watching him.
The way she looked at him, as if he were a devil that couldn’t be approached.
Rong Shaoze felt his patience had run out, even though she was special to him, he could no longer tolerate her indifference and rejection.
