Mu Beichen kept his word and finally did not launch a sneak attack. He just hugged him, rubbed him, and kissed him.
Yan Xi tried hard to numb herself, just as if she was kissed by a dog.
Suddenly, Mu Beichen said, "The Western Regions envoy taught me something today. Do you want to hear it?"
Yan Xi ignored him.
Mu Beichen chuckled and said in a low, hoarse voice, "I love three."
Upon hearing this, Yan Xi's body stiffened slightly.
"Do you want to know what this means?"
Yan Xi lowered his eyebrows and eyes and said nothing.
What does it mean? It's just "I love you," but in Old English.
Mu Beichen was used to him being like this, and he said to himself, "There are only three things I like in this world: the sun, the moon, and you. This is what it means."
He paused and let Yan Xi face him so that their eyes met.
"But I only like you, I don't care about anything else."
Yan Xi's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she lowered her head, "Beichen, thank you for liking me, but I can't like you."
Mu Beichen's expression froze for a moment. "Why? Am I not good enough to you?"
"Yes, it's not good." Yan Xi raised his head. "You forced me, imprisoned me, asked someone to die in my place, and completely erased all traces of my life in this world. If this is love, then what is love?"
Mu Beichen stood up suddenly, looking at him with dark eyes, "I thought about letting you go, but you only wanted to leave me!"
Yan Xi also stood up, and the breath she had been holding for a long time burst out, looking at him coldly, "I'm not your appendage, why can't I leave you?! Can't I live without you? I adopted you because I wanted to treat you as my own family, but now this person who I adopted and treated as my own family is repaying my kindness with hatred. For a person like this, let alone liking him, I even hate him!"
"Disgust...hate?" Mu Beichen's head was buzzing. He didn't want to believe that this word actually came out of his mouth.
The young man's cold eyes were like a sharp knife that stabbed him to pieces.
Mu Beichen smiled softly, pushed him down and started pulling him.
Seeing this, Yan Xi understood his intention and looked terrified, "What are you doing? Mu Beichen! Let me go!"
Mu Beichen had a cold face and was indifferent, as if he was determined.
Yan Xi couldn't help it, glared at him and struggled hard, but his hands and feet were restrained and he couldn't move.
Looking at his hand pressing on her shoulder, Yan Xi lowered her head and bit his arm hard, a fishy and sweet taste spreading in her mouth.
Mu Beichen froze in his tracks. He looked at the hand, then at himself. Suddenly, he couldn't breathe. His heart felt like it was being pierced by thousands of arrows, and the pain was so severe that it made him numb.
He raised his hand, his eyes filled with despair, and laughed heartily, "Very good, very good. There was a bite mark here before, and I thought it was gone after it burned away. Who knew there would be another one today? It was given by my most beloved person. I'm very happy, really, very happy."
"W-what?!" His words were like a fist, hitting Yan Xi hard, knocking him unconscious and confused. "You...did you have a bite mark before?"
Mu Beichen looked at him with a wooden face, without any emotion. "So what if it is? So what if it isn't? Do you care?"
Yan Xi looked into his empty eyes, opened her mouth, and after a long while, she uttered, "I care."
Mu Beichen curled his lips and smiled sarcastically, "Looking at you like this, are you sure you care? Do you care about me or the bite mark?"
Yan Xi chewed over those words in his mind, was slightly stunned, and didn't know how to answer for a moment.
Seeing him like this, Mu Beichen's eyes were filled with disappointment, and he smiled coldly, "Forget it, whether you care about me or the bite marks, I will never let go. You forced me to do this."
After saying this, he turned away.
Yan Xi watched him leave, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.
All that filled my mind was what Mu Beichen had just said.
What exactly does he care about? Who does he love?
Yan Xi was confused.
The two of them had a sleepless night.
