"Heh..." Ning Xiuyan squeezed out a short, cold laugh from his throat and suddenly shook off Zhang Xuanhua's hand that was holding his arm! The force was so great that Zhang Xuanhua staggered for a moment before he could stand firm.
The grievance and dependence on Zhang Xuanhua's face froze in an instant. His light blue eyes blinked, and a very fast, elusive light seemed to flash in them, so fast that Ning Xiuyan thought it was an illusion.
Then, the aggrieved look became even stronger, with a hint of hurt: "Second Brother Ning? You...what's wrong with you?"
"What's wrong?" Ning Xiuyan stared at him, his eyes cold and sharp, filled with anger and scrutiny after being fooled.
"Zhang Xuanhua, your acting is really good." He almost squeezed out these words from between his teeth.
"Acting?" Zhang Xuanhua tilted his head slightly, his face showing pure confusion and bewilderment, like a small animal that couldn't understand human language.
"Brother Ning, what are you talking about? I... I'm really scared..."
He tried to get closer to Ning Xiuyan again.
"Don't touch me!" Ning Xiuyan shouted, subconsciously taking a step back. He looked at Zhang Xuanhua's innocent and beautiful face, and felt a chill in his heart.
This man was too dangerous! His previous judgment had been utterly wrong! What conquest? What bargaining chip? All he wanted now was to get away from this terrifying, smiling tiger!
Being rejected and scolded so bluntly by Ning Xiuyan, the grievance and hurt on Zhang Xuanhua's face instantly faded away.
He stood still, no longer trying to get closer, but just looked at Ning Xiuyan quietly. The expression on his face changed little by little and slowly.
The disguised innocence, purity and dependence peeled off like a mask, revealing the true face underneath which was cold, indifferent, and tinged with a hint of amusement and sarcasm.
The corners of Zhang Xuanhua's lips slowly curled up, no longer a pure smile, but a kind of evil and cruel interest.
"Tsk," he smacked his lips softly, his voice returning to its deep, raspy quality, with undisguised mockery, "How boring. Second Young Master Ning, your reaction... is too dull."
He stuffed his hands back into his sweatshirt pockets, his posture lazy and a little condescending, as if the "frightened deer" just now had never existed.
"Are you scared now? Or...are you angry out of shame?"
Ning Xiuyan was so irritated by this naked mockery and the sudden change of expression that his blood boiled. The anger of being fooled completely overwhelmed his fear.
He stared intently at Zhang Xuanhua's pretty face, which was now filled with malice and mockery, and gnashed his teeth: "Zhang Xuanhua! Are you kidding me?!"
"Tease you?" Zhang Xuanhua laughed softly as if he had heard a huge joke. His laughter was particularly clear and harsh in the quiet alley.
"Second Young Master Ning, where did you get this from?"
He took a step forward, his posture as leisurely as if he were strolling in his own garden, but his eyes were sharp as a knife. "You came up to me yourself, didn't you? With your ridiculous, self-righteous desire to conquer and protect me."
He stopped one step in front of Ning Xiuyan, raised his face slightly, and his light blue pupils were like cold glass in the dim light.
"Watching you circling around me like a fool, trying so hard to play the role of a caring brother, satisfying your pitiful self-esteem that was crushed by Ning Xiwan..."
He paused, the smile on his lips deepening, almost threatening to overflow with malice, "It's quite interesting. Much more interesting than those boring art exhibitions."
Every word was like a poisoned needle, piercing Ning Xiuyan's most sensitive and unbearable nerve.
All his disguises, all his pride, and all his self-righteousness were ruthlessly torn apart by the other party, and exposed nakedly in the dim light.
"Shut up!" Ning Xiuyan's eyes were bloodshot, and the shame and rage that were completely enraged instantly overwhelmed his rationality.
He suddenly reached out and grabbed the collar of Zhang Xuanhua's sweatshirt. Beneath the gray-blue hair, that same delicate face was twisted with anger.
"Who do you think you are?! You're just a kid who just returned home, and you dare to play this trick in front of me?!"
He pulled Zhang Xuanhua towards him with all his strength, and the distance between them instantly closed, almost to the point of their noses touching. Ning Xiuyan could clearly see the cold reflection in Zhang Xuanhua's eyes, and his own face, which was ferocious with rage.
He also raised his other hand, with a look of humiliation and venting anger, wanting to pinch Zhang Xuanhua's face that made him hate and... (he didn't dare to think too deeply)!
"What? You can't help but take action now?" Zhang Xuanhua was grabbed by the collar by him, but he did not struggle at all. Instead, he leaned forward slightly according to his strength. The mocking smile on his face became more intense, even with a hint of excitement.
Deep in his light blue eyes, a cold flame danced. "Second Young Master Ning, where's your demeanor? Your... huh?!"
His words stopped abruptly.
Because Ning Xiuyan's fingertips, filled with burning anger and some uncontrollable, inexplicable dark desire, had already touched his cool and smooth cheek.
Just at that moment when the fingertips are about to exert force and may even leave fingerprints.
The smile on Zhang Xuanhua's face disappeared in an instant, leaving only a biting coldness. In those light blue eyes, all the teasing and amusement faded away, leaving only pure, chilling murderous intent.
"court death!"
The cold voice was like judgment!
Ning Xiuyan didn't even see Zhang Xuanhua's movements clearly! He only felt a flash of light before his eyes, and an irresistible force suddenly hit his chest! Then, the world spun around!
Plop!!!
The icy cold water instantly enveloped him! A huge splash of water was heard!
Ning Xiuyan was caught off guard and kicked away by an irresistible force. Like a kite with a broken string, he drew a messy arc and fell heavily into the open-air pool at the end of the alley, which was emitting a faint odor and was filled with fallen leaves and garbage.
