Yan Xi's hands under the table suddenly clenched. He looked at him. At that moment, he seemed to be unable to hear the sounds around him. He could only hear the buzzing sound of his brain and his own slowing breathing.
Yan Xi's rosy face suddenly turned pale. He desperately suppressed his emotions, pulled the corners of his stiff mouth, and continued to ask: "Why?"
Why did you get engaged to her?
Didn't you promise that you would always be with him?
Didn’t we agree to be husband and wife and love each other without a doubt?
The boy's eyes were visibly moist and slightly red. Huo Xiao looked at him and his heart suddenly ached, as if an extremely sharp steel needle was forced into his heart.
"I..." Just as I uttered the word, he lowered his eyes, then slowly raised them again. Under the boy's questioning gaze, he said without hesitation: "Because I want to marry her."
Yan Xi's pupils shrank slightly, and his body trembled uncontrollably. He felt as if a corner of his chest was missing. It hurt so much that he couldn't breathe. His chest was burning with pain, and his throat was blocked by something. He opened his mouth, but no sound came out.
He gasped for breath, trembling as he picked up the water glass on the table and took a sip. He felt a little better, but he still had difficulty speaking. "Then, what about me? In your... eyes, what am I... ahem...?"
This simple sentence took up all of Yan Xi's strength at this moment.
He looked at the man he loved deeply and felt cold all over. As time passed, he became dizzy and could not see the expression of the person opposite him.
Huo Xiao looked at him, his chest aching. The fear of losing his beloved came over him. He wanted to stand up, but his body refused to obey. He watched himself grab Yan Xi's hand and smiled softly, "As long as you want, you can still stay with me. The price can be doubled."
When these humiliating words came out, not only did Yan Xi's face turn pale, but he himself was also scared.
"As long as I'm willing, I can still stay with you, and the price can be doubled..." Yan Xi looked at the man in front of him and repeated this sentence like a madman. Suddenly, he laughed out loud, and a hint of irony and sadness appeared in his moist eyes. "So, you have always treated me as a gigolo who sells... my body for money?"
The boy's shaky appearance stung Huo Xiao's heart. Another voice in his body was clamoring frantically, about to break out of the ground. He quickly lowered his eyes, not wanting to see, and took a deep breath. "We signed the agreement from the beginning. You and I are in a sponsorship relationship. You should understand that you shouldn't ask me this question at this time."
"Pfft... Hehe..." Yan Xi couldn't help laughing again. He held onto the dining table and stood up with great effort. With trembling hands and panic, he took out the black card that Huo Xiao had given him from his wallet and handed it to him. He tried hard to suppress the pain in his heart and said word by word in a cold tone: "Since you are about to get engaged, then let's end... this relationship. This is the black card you gave me. I didn't touch a single cent of the money in it. Now I will return it to you, in full. Please also... return me to me in full..."
Huo Xiao quickly glanced at the black card, was slightly startled for a moment, and felt a headache. He subconsciously grabbed Yan Xi's hand and shook his head hurriedly, "No... No, Yan Xi, getting engaged to Su Ying is not my intention. The person I like is you..."
"Don't touch me!" Yan Xi struggled to shake off his hand. He looked at the man who suddenly couldn't bear to leave him. The feeling of betrayal in his heart surged into his heart, stimulating every nerve in his body.
"Enough! Huo Xiao! When you said this, didn't you consider Su Ying's feelings, nor did you consider my feelings?! You are greedy and want to enjoy the best of both worlds. How can you be so bold? You really make me sick." Yan Xi threw the black card on the table, picked up his things, covered his chest, and forced himself to turn around and leave.
Huo Xiao looked at the person who was walking away, and suddenly stood up. He took a step with his straight long legs, but he could not take the second step. It seemed as if his feet were fixed by something and he could not move at all. He stretched out his hand anxiously and desperately, wanting to speak to keep him, but no matter how he input commands into his brain, he could not make a sound.
He could only stand there and watch Yan Xi go away little by little until he disappeared from his sight.
At that moment, Huo Xiao lost all his strength, and his soul and heart gradually faded away.
Why?
Why do you treat him like this?
What did he do wrong?
Outsider?
He has been in this world since he was born. He is a member of the Huo family and is the real Huo Xiao...
So who are the outsiders?
Huo Xiao closed his eyes, hiding the despair, sadness and unwillingness in them.
Although he didn't know who he had offended, if anyone wanted to hurt Lu Yanxi and forcibly separate them, he would never let them go!
…
Yan Xi stumbled out of the restaurant. He didn't know where he was going, he just wanted to leave here quickly.
But for some reason his heart ached so much that he couldn't breathe and even started to feel numb.
Then the pain moved to his brain, hitting his last line of defense over and over again.
System 5555 detected that his condition was not good and was extremely anxious. "Host, please stop and find a place to rest!"
Yan Xi didn't stop, and asked: "System, how can a person's heart change suddenly? Or..."
He doesn't want me anymore.
That person clearly told him that she would be with him for the rest of her life.
He was so possessive of him, how could it suddenly...be gone?
He has always been hovering on the edge of worry and loss. On the one hand, he was relieved and happy when he found this person again, but also felt a sense of fear. On the other hand, when he was separated from this person, he was in agony and worried, fearing that he would never see him again.
Every time, he prayed silently in his heart that he could rekindle their previous relationship, and then silently thanked God for sending him to that person.
He thought that person would love him forever and ever, but this time...his prayers seemed to be useless...
The thing he was most worried about and feared happened.
System 5555 was a bit bewildered. "I, I don't know... maybe our fate has ended?"
"Is our fate over?" Yan Xi suddenly stood up, a ringing in his ears. "You're right. It's been so long, our fate should be over..."
Who else could love his beloved for so many lifetimes like him?
He should be content, right?
But... why was he so reluctant and sad, his heart seemed to be broken beyond recognition?
As Yan Xi spoke, his breathing became more and more difficult and rapid. It felt like a huge rock was pressing on his chest, heavy and painful. His vision gradually blurred, and the tinnitus in his ears became louder and louder, so loud that he could not hear anything.
At this moment, he felt so tired, his body was so heavy that he couldn't support himself. He staggered from side to side, and with a bang, he fell heavily to the ground.
"Host!"
"Yanxi!!!"
