The cafe was very quiet, especially in the private room. The soundproofing there was very good.
Nangong Lengyu looked at the man in front of her with a cold gaze. “Second Brother, can you explain to me what’s going on?”
Yan Yuanfei smiled. Instead of answering, he asked, “Yu’er, do you want to know what I look like now?”
Nangong Lengyu looked at the silver mask on the man’s face and saw Ah Yan’s face. Ever since he had died in the explosion, Ah Yan had been dressed like this. He had even told her that his legs had been disfigured.
However, she had always had her doubts. Given his tactics and capabilities, how could he have let Second Brother die? He had also ended up like that.
The last time they had met, he had said that his legs and face had recovered. She had not thought too much about it, but she had suspected that he had not been injured.
Now, it seemed like he wanted to do something? Did he want to live like him now that Second Brother was gone?
The person opposite her was still looking at her, asking for her opinion and waiting for her reply. She nodded and said, “Okay.”
What could she not see?
However…
When she really saw his face, tears streamed down her face uncontrollably. She covered her mouth and tried her best to control her emotions and calm down.
What kind of face was in front of her?
She could not describe it, nor could she have imagined it. It was a burnt yellow face with criss-crossing wrinkles. It was so skinny that it seemed to have no flesh. It was just a thin layer of skin that hung on the bones, making him look like an old man on the verge of death.
However, his eyes were as clear and gentle as before. When he looked at others, they were like a spring breeze.
His lips were as full and charming as before too. When he smiled, they warmed the bottom of one’s heart, but could also chill it.
After calling him Second Brother, she bit her lips and looked at him, not knowing what to say or ask.
However, even so, he should not have left. He had used a really resolute method to make her leave his world. Had he ever thought about how Little Shui would feel? She had lost the person she had loved the most in such a cruel manner.
She had not even seen his corpse. He had been reduced to ashes by the explosion. That was what everyone had told her.
In the end, she could only carry a handful of building ashes and treat them as his ashes. Had he thought of how desperate and painful her life had been?
“Yu’er, do you want her to see me like this?” Yan Yuanfei passed her a tissue and put on his mask.
Even she could not look at him directly now.
What about her?
If she saw him, her heart would ache terribly.
He had disappeared in such an extreme manner just to make a clean break. What other method could he have chosen?
How was he to die to dispel everyone’s suspicions, especially hers?
Nangong Lengyu wiped her tears and recomposed herself. She looked at the man in front of her and said, “Second Brother, I respect your choice, but I’ll never agree to it.”
The man in front of her had hurt her best friend in life.
“Thank you.” Yan Yuanfei had not expected her to be the calmest, most rational one. She was much better than the other useless fellows.
“Second Brother, I’m done asking questions. Goodbye.” Nangong Lengyu stood up and left. After taking two steps, she suddenly turned around. “Second Brother, since you’re already dead, I hope you will never appear in front of her!”
