In the prison cell.

Sang Yi remained motionless, still in a state of autism.

After looking in the mirror, Old Chen slowly turned around and stroked his chin.

He glanced at Sang Yi, then smiled slightly as he stared at the iron-clad man.

Old Chen looked at Sang Yi for a while, and seeing that Sang Yi still didn't react, he walked towards his own bed.

I went to the bedside and removed the pillow.

The bag of bread hidden under the pillow suddenly came into view.

Old Chen turned his head to look at Sang Yi again, then picked up the bag of bread and slowly walked towards Sang Yi.

A gentle shake produced a slight rattling sound from the bag of bread.

Sang Yi heard the sound and already knew that Old Chen was approaching.

His body tensed up abruptly, and his outstretched fingers clenched tightly in fear, turning slightly white.

He dared not move, nor did he dare to look up.

They were afraid that if he made a move, Old Chen would also make a move.

As for which direction to move from, Sang Yi dared not think about it, and was afraid to think about it.

If his sphincter hadn't been slightly loose, he actually would have been able to hold it in that day.

But there are no "what ifs" in this situation; it has already happened.

As one of the ten great generals of the Northern Frontier, he was also an extremely professional schemer.

Such an event, if not a lifelong shadow, will leave a huge stain on his life that can never be washed away.

Of course, if time could be turned back, there would be a way to undo regrets.

He definitely, definitely, definitely won't come to Yan Province.

In this way, at least such humiliation would not exist.

Squeak—!

I felt the weight pressing down on the bed frame.

Sang Yi tensed up even more.

Old Chen sat down without saying a word, which put a lot of pressure on Sang Yi.

Old Chen looked at Sang Yi, then at the bag of bread in his hand, glancing at it several times.

Old Chen finally spoke.

"You haven't eaten for days, aren't you hungry?"

"..."

"Health is the foundation of everything. What will happen if it collapses? After all... I'll be heartbroken."

"!!!!!"

"Oh……"

Sang Yi remained silent, responding in silence, while Old Chen merely chuckled softly.

Then, as if he had thought of something, Old Chen said to himself.

Do you know how many meanings "酱" (jiào) can have?

Sang Yi said he didn't know and didn't want to know. He just hoped that Old Chen would stop bothering him. If he could change cells, he would have stayed as far away as possible.

Why bother being so exhausted and on guard all day?

"Actually, the meaning of 'sauce' is not very complex; as far as I know, there are only about four..."

As he spoke, Old Chen paused, deliberately trying to pique Sang Yi's curiosity, but unfortunately, Sang Yi remained unmoved.

Old Chen didn't mind and continued with a smile, "There are sour and spicy sauces, but most of them are sweet, just like life, experiencing all kinds of different things and enjoying each unique life."

"In the end, sweetness is the final result, no matter what kind of life it is."

"You should understand these things too. No matter how painful or unacceptable things you are going through right now, in the end, you will find that the process suddenly doesn't matter. Only the result, that sweetness, will make you remember it vividly and never forget it."

"..."

Sang Yi, upon hearing this, thought it was utter nonsense.

The outcome of life can never be solely sweet, nor can it ever be sweet.

Everyone's life is different; the process and the outcome will also be different.

Regardless of the final outcome, the meaning of "sweet" cannot encompass the whole picture.

Old Chen was just trying to provoke him into talking.

Sang Yi had guessed this possibility, so naturally he wouldn't go along with Lao Chen.

After all, he is in pain now, both in the process and in the result.

"Hmm...it seems you didn't understand what I meant."

Seeing that Sang Yi still didn't react, Old Chen felt that what he said wasn't very clear.

But that's okay. Even if Sang Yi doesn't answer now, he'll definitely reply later.

Old Chen slowly approached, and Sang Yi, sensing his presence, subconsciously moved to a corner.

But he was already in the corner, and no matter how much he moved, he would only get his body closer to the wall.

Seeing this, Old Chen found it amusing.

He whispered in Sang Yi's ear, "Actually, you don't need to be afraid of me. I'm not going to eat you. I've learned some things about you and I find them very interesting, and they suit my taste."

"Although I only learned a little bit, that's enough."

"Besides, we are so close, and our hearts are already deeply connected, so there's no need to be so afraid anymore."

"Dengdualang is not as scary as you imagine. Just like I said, no matter what the process is like, the ending is sweet."

"What exactly are you trying to say? And... don't come near me."

Sang Yi couldn't take it anymore. He suddenly raised his head, his lips trembling, and stared at Old Chen in horror.

Old Chen gave a wicked smile: "Wasn't what I said obvious enough?"

"It means I can give you a sweet result."

"After all, once you get here, getting out is extremely difficult, almost impossible."

"If that's the case, why not start looking for something to rely on now?"

"Let me tell you something: we won't be changed cells unless absolutely necessary. This means that our time together might be long, maybe even a lifetime. So... do you understand what I mean?"

Clang.

After saying that, Old Chen deliberately teased Sang Yi by reaching out and tapping the iron lock hanging on the iron underwear.

Sang Yi was shocked.

His entire back was pressed tightly against the wall.

"I'm telling you, don't do anything reckless!"

"Last time it was my mistake that allowed you to succeed, but now, it's impossible for you. Forget about it!"

It was just a slight teasing, and Sang Yi became like a frightened bird. But when he thought about the iron lock and the fact that Old Chen didn't have the key, his goal was impossible to achieve.

This gave Sang Yi a lot of confidence.

When was he ever so disheveled and so insecure?

She only became like this after meeting Luo Chen.

I don't know if that video from last time got into Tiger General's hands, or if Tiger General will try to rescue him.

If not, then Luo Chen should receive the same treatment.

And who's the other Jay?

Otherwise, Sang Yi would not be able to swallow this insult.

The humiliation he suffered could not be vented.

Upon hearing this, Old Chen paused in his actions.

The smile at the corner of his mouth was even more meaningful.

“You know what? If this is your source of confidence, then you’re really mistaken.”

"What's the meaning?"

Sang Yi was somewhat bewildered.
