Let him fend for himself? That's impossible.
Xu Neng felt deep regret every time he thought about it.
In my past life, I threw Chen Nian into the snow outside the steel mill, intending for him to fend for himself, but it gave him a chance to retaliate.
I won't make the same mistake again this time.
He and Wang Feifei stood not far away, quietly watching Chen Nian under the moonlight.
Every time Wang Feifei wakes up in the middle of the night, she sees that scene:
She lay helplessly in the snow, the scalding blood gushing from her stomach melting the blood. Not far away was Xu Neng, whose fate was unknown, while Chen Nian stood frantically in front of her.
Could this be the same mountain forest from my past life?
At that moment, she desperately hoped that the evil could end in one place...
Suddenly, the moon's reflection in the pool was obscured by a dark shadow, then a second, then a third...
It turned out to be a pack of wolves that had arrived quietly.
The strong smell of blood was incredibly tempting to them; they came because of the smell, until they saw the human covered in "fragrance".
The lead wolf cautiously approached the human, its eyes glowing with a ghostly blue-green light, its long tongue sweeping across its mouth, drool dripping onto the ground.
Chen Nian saw them too, and a horrified gurgling sound came from his mouth. Without his lips to cover it, saliva mixed with blood flowed out.
The scent made the wolves even more restless.
Chen Nian managed to turn his body to the side with great difficulty, but that was all. His shoulder and legs had been shot, and no matter how hard he tried, he could only writhe in place.
Not only did they not move much, they bled even more.
The strong smell of blood spurred the alpha wolf, which finally mustered the courage to walk up to Chen Nian and take a big bite of his shoulder, which was emitting an enticing scent of blood.
With that one bite, a large chunk of meat was torn off, and the pack of wolves, now emboldened, surrounded it, each targeting a specific part and tearing at it...
"Ah...ah..." The tragic sound echoed through the forest, a mournful wailing that sounded unlike any human voice.
Xu Neng and Wang Feifei watched all this coldly until his throat was bitten through and he could no longer make a sound...
...
The steel mill under the cover of night.
Tan Jiaojiao woke up with a start. She heard strange cries and her heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was going to burst out of her chest.
The piercing sound terrified her. She ran into Old Tan's room and woke her father.
"Dad, did you hear that scream? It was terrifying! Could someone be in the woods in the middle of the night?"
"I heard it. It doesn't sound like a human. It's probably a night bird. The sound is quite nice! Don't overthink it. Go to sleep."
...
"Feifei, let's go while the wolves are feeding."
Seeing Chen Nian die so tragically right before her eyes, Wang Feifei felt a wave of exhaustion wash over her.
Some people and some things have finally settled down, and the energy that has sustained her all this time has been released all at once.
Her legs buckled and she almost fell, but Xu Neng caught her.
Xu Neng understood her; he carried her on his back and walked back step by step...
...
The next day was the day of Xu Hui's public trial. Due to the great impact of the case, major media outlets were vying to broadcast it live.
Last time, Xu Hui's men failed to complete their mission, so this time they will surely lay a trap and wait for the two to appear at the scene.
Xu Neng and Wang Feifei exchanged a smile, nestled in their newly bought sofa, and watched the hottest live broadcast.
In this life, without Xu Neng to save the day, and with Xiao Gao having already taken care of the driver who caused the accident years ago, Xu Hui was unsurprisingly sentenced to death.
Wang Feifei lay half-reclined in Xu Neng's arms like a kitten, chatting idly:
"Xu Neng, I've always been curious, did you recognize me at the court hearing in your past life?"
"Yes, that was the first time I met you."
"How did you know? Was there any flaw in my disguise at the time?"
"You're very good at disguising yourself. Maybe it's just intuition, Feifei. I feel that you are very different from others. No matter how you disguise yourself, you can't hide the brilliance within you."
Wang Feifei became interested, propped herself up against his chest, and looked at his face with sparkling eyes:
What makes me different from others?
"It was your eyes that first attracted me. Even now that I'm an old woman, I can still find you in a crowd."
Xu Neng picked up a tuft of dark brown hair, gently tucked it behind her ear, and then cupped her face, lightly kissing the corner of her lips:
"Then, I fell in love with everything about you—your courage, intelligence, sincerity, and openness—and every aspect of you captivated me."
You know, the first time I felt anything for a woman was after I saw you in court. I thought I must be crazy; the image of that old woman kept popping into my head.
As Xu Neng spoke, his eyes gradually filled with spring-like warmth. Just as he was about to kiss her again, Wang Feifei buried her head in his chest and asked:
"Haven't you ever liked a woman before?"
She was very curious how someone like Xu Neng, a man who was perfect in every way, could not even have experienced the first stirrings of love.
Even if you don't want to, women will come to you.
"No, before I met you, I even suspected that I was attracted to the same sex, but after trying it out... um... I found out that's not the case..."
"How did you test it?"
Wang Feifei raised her head, her face full of inquiry and playfulness, and just now, for a fleeting moment, she imagined a scene with two men.
"You really want to know?"
Xu Neng looked helpless, his face flushing slightly, but this only piqued Wang Feifei's interest even more: "I want to!"
"Okay." Xu Neng scratched his brow, coughed lightly, and said in a slightly lazy tone:
“When I was in college in the United States, I think it was my sophomore year. There was a white classmate of mine, I think his name was Steve, who often asked me to play basketball. At first I didn’t pay much attention and just went, but slowly I felt something was wrong, and then… I found out.”
Xu Neng had clearly skipped some details, and Wang Feifei pressed on: "And then? What details did you skip? Was he really that handsome? How did you realize something was off?"
A barrage of questions left Xu Neng somewhat impatient, and he answered casually, "Looks...not bad, I guess..."
Like a cat that has been provoked, Xu Neng sat up straight from the sofa: "Feifei, what do you want to ask?"
Realizing something was wrong, Wang Feifei tried to escape, but Xu Neng grabbed her waist and immediately leaned in to kiss her:
Or... what are you fantasizing about?
After struggling for a while, Wang Feifei tried to escape but couldn't. She could only wave her mischievous little hands and gently push against his chest, which unexpectedly ignited a fire.
He grabbed both wrists instantly, then held them with one hand, raised them above her head, and pressed her down onto the sofa in an extremely shameful manner.
Xu Neng's deep eyes and shimmering gaze captivated Wang Feifei.
Enveloped by his piercing aura, she had long forgotten the question from before, only gazing at his incomparably handsome face, murmuring, "Xu Neng..."
As if granted permission, Xu Neng's eyes were filled with passionate love, and he instinctively pressed his body against hers:
"I don't like men, I don't like women, I only like you, Feifei. I'll show you how much I love you, okay?"
