Huo Yunshen had intentionally chosen to come back when the sun was still up, when Xu Xiyan wouldn’t be home.
He didn’t want her to see the side of him that he was showing at that moment.
He raised his hand and tried to wipe his tears, but instead left a trail of blood on his face. He’d forgotten that his hand was already drenched in blood.
“Don’t! Leave me alone!” Huo Yunshen shouted as he saw Xu Xiyan was closing in on him.
He tried to block his face with his arm. He was trying to hide his crying face, it was the only side of him that he did not want Xu Xiyan to see.
“Please, let me take a look at you,” Xu Xiyan said as she could feel a pain in her heart.
The man that used to be cold and emotionless was like a hurt beast, lying on the ground shaking in fear.
“I don’t need your help! Leave me the f*ck alone!” Huo Yunshen shouted with all of his heart. It was filled with sadness and uneasiness.
He was so desperate to hide from her that he’d chosen to curse at her.
Xu Xiyan felt another pain in her heart as tears began to fill her eyes.
Did I step on his pride again? How am I supposed to leave him when he’s so helpless now?
Huo Yunshen saw that Xu Xiyan wasn’t about to leave and he tried to get back up onto his wheelchair to hide his embarrassment.
Yet as he tried to push himself up, the broken glass on the ground dug itself into his palm.
It was only then when he could feel the pain.
He had no idea what to do anymore.
He sat on the ground without moving an inch.
Xu Xiyan’s face was already covered in tears, even though she tried her best to hold them back.
She quickly dropped in front of him and held him up by his shoulders as she looked straight into his eyes.
Their eyes met, eyes that were filled with tears.
“I’ve never once pitied you, Mr. Huo,” Xu Xiyan said. Only love…
She wanted to prove herself by actions and not words.
The feelings that she had for Huo Yunshen weren’t compassion or pity. It was pure love.
She pulled his face towards her own and kissed him.
Her salty saliva flowed down Huo Yunshen’s lips. It was filled with pain.
The sudden kiss made Huo Yunshen’s mind go blank. He held his hands in the air and had no idea what to do.
The kiss wasn’t deep; she’d only pushed her lips against his as they slowly rubbed against each other.
It was soft as if his mother was holding him when he was little.
Huo Yunshen remained stunned, even after Xu Xiyan pulled her lips away. It was as if the kiss had fried his brain.
It was as if he was dreaming.
Did she just kiss me? Did Xu Xiyan just kiss me?
Xu Xiyan’s tears had evaporated from the heat on her face. Even if she’d been trying to hold herself back, telling herself not to act rashly, she’d still kissed the man she loved, as she couldn’t hold her feelings back any further.
What now?
