Chapter 72 Chapter 72 [This chapter has been refined ~ you can read it again...
Even though Yao Yingxia was already quite drunk, she still had a deep fear of Shen Xingchuan's voice. The moment she realized that Shen Xingchuan had woken up and was right behind her, she suddenly separated her lips and tongue from Xiao An.
The cold gaze of an evil spirit seemed to transform into sharp threads, wrapping around and tightening around her, as if wanting to tear her into pieces.
She was clearly throbbing with heat just now, but now she felt as if she was pressed into a world of ice and snow, with no clothes to cover her body. The biting cold wind penetrated into her body through every pore, almost freezing her blood.
She tried to close her eyes, to convince herself that this was all a nightmare, that Shen Xingchuan wasn't behind her, and that she would never have to look back and face that terrible thing. But even this simple action was difficult for her to complete. She was so nervous that she couldn't even see Xiao An's face clearly, only her pupils could still tremble slightly.
"Yao Yingxia." The drunken voice was a little unclear, but it revealed a chill. The last time Shen Xingchuan called her like this seemed like a long time ago. Unless he was extremely angry, he would not call her by her full name.
Yao Yingxia's heart nearly burst from the invisible pressure. She wondered blankly, would Shen Xingchuan kill her? No, no, before killing her, Shen Xingchuan would definitely do everything in his power to make her life worse than death.
After all, she had so many weaknesses in his hands: Xu Nian, Xiao An, Xiao An's mother, and herself. Shen Xingchuan had so many ways to torture her, any one of which could drag her into hell.
Yao Yingxia deeply regretted everything that happened today. She knew clearly that Shen Xingchuan had an extraordinary possessiveness towards her, but she still acted like a madman, regardless of the consequences, and just wanted to indulge herself completely.
Xiao An had never seen his sister so frightened. The hands that were hooked around his neck had become ice-cold, as if all the blood had been drained out of them. Xiao An could even hear the sound of her teeth chattering.
Those beautiful eyes, like stars, should have been full of life, but now they seemed blind, devoid of any spirit. Just now, her cheeks, a tender pink like spring peach blossoms from drinking too much wine, had visibly lost all color, leaving her pale as if she were seriously ill.
Shen Xingchuan is just a drunkard now, why is my sister so scared? Is Shen Xingchuan not good to her?
Xiao An lowered his eyes, hiding the murderous intent that flashed through his eyes. He just patted her back gently and whispered to her, "Don't be afraid, sister. I'm here. No one dares to bully you."
A familiar and reassuring voice rang in her ears, and her body finally regained some consciousness, but she began to tremble again. Xiao An didn't know Shen Xingchuan, but Yao Yingxia knew his methods too well. Even if he didn't say or do anything now, it was already suffocating.
Yao Yingxia thought in despair that she and Xiao An would be thrown into the bottomless abyss, from which there would be no escape, and Shen Xingchuan would not show mercy and let them go.
She cried helplessly, but only tears came out without any sound.
Shen Xingchuan had a splitting headache.
He had drunk too much today, about two bottles of red wine in total. He shouldn't have woken up so quickly after being this drunk.
But Shen Xingchuan has been holding Yao Yingxia to sleep every day recently, and it has become a habit. But this night, he could not touch that slender waist, nor could he smell that familiar sweet scent.
An inexplicable panic dragged him out of his sleep. Shen Xingchuan opened his eyes with difficulty, but he did not expect to see such a shocking scene.
Yao Yingxia was wearing the beautiful cheongsam that she had worn when she got her marriage certificate. She was riding on another man's thigh in a wanton manner, and the two of them were kissing passionately.
Shen Xingchuan had never had such a bad dream.
It was obvious that whenever he dreamed of Yao Yingxia in the past, she was full of passion. Sometimes she was weak and could only be bullied by him, and sometimes she would be very clingy and entangled with him like a cat. Sometimes she would be passionate like what he saw today. But in his dreams, there were only him and Yao Yingxia. How could he dream of her with other men?
What bad luck.
Even though it was just a dream, Shen Xingchuan was furious and wanted to kill someone. He asked what they were doing and called out Yao Yingxia's name, hoping that she would behave herself in her dream and not make him angry again. However, Yao Yingxia clearly heard his voice and simply stopped kissing the man. Although her body was trembling slightly with her back to him, she did not roll off the man's thigh.
Shen Xingchuan was almost mad with rage.
Because he was drunk, his eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of mist. Shen Xingchuan couldn't see the man's face for a while, until he pinched the corner of his eyes and looked carefully, he found that the man was Xiao An.
This world had finally reached an unimaginable level of absurdity. He was Yao Yingxia's blood brother. What on earth had triggered such a bizarre dream? Shen Xingchuan felt he needed to see a psychiatrist again.
He raised his wrist and wanted to slap himself hard to end this strange dream, but he had drunk too much and was stimulated. His hands were shaking and he slapped his face, but it didn't hurt at all. There was no way for him to return to the real world.
Shen Xingchuan struggled to stand up, wanting to check Yao Yingxia's face. She must be feeling very proud right now, right? He usually kept a close eye on her, and any man who tried to get close to her with ill intentions was driven away. So now she had no choice but to turn on her brother to piss him off?
Shen Xingchuan stumbled closer, ready to teach the adulterous couple a lesson so that they wouldn't dare to do evil in his dreams again. Alcohol and anger made him anxious but unable to control his body. His calf hit the coffee table hard, and the pain was so severe that Shen Xingchuan almost broke out in a cold sweat. He stood there and began to think about a problem.
Does such real pain appear in dreams?
Or maybe this is the real world.
His expression changed several times, finally becoming horrified. This wasn't a dream. His Xia Xia had actually been having an affair with another man right under his nose, in the house he had bought, on the day they had gotten their marriage certificate.
But she was obviously a very timid child. Normally, if he only had to frown a little, Yao Yingxia would be extremely scared. She also didn't like sleeping with anyone at all. She always had a pitiful look on her face when she was in bed. Unless he deliberately did something bad, then a sound would leak out of her mouth.
But why would she be so proactive towards her brother?
Did he want to embarrass himself on purpose and just make him angry to death and be done with it?
Perhaps she sensed someone approaching. Shen Xingchuan saw her trembling. Even though she was so scared, she subconsciously shrank into Xiao An's arms. Shen Xingchuan was so angry that his head was about to explode.
Since she doesn't want to live a good life, then let's all die together.
Shen Xingchuan grabbed the vase from the coffee table and slammed it to the floor. The porcelain shards shattered and shattered all over the floor. Yao Yingxia felt something splash onto her back, and a sharp sting ran through her shoulder.
Shen Xingchuan watched helplessly as a streak of blood appeared on her snow-white skin, oozing out tiny beads of blood. Normally, no matter how angry he was with Yao Yingxia, he wouldn't have dared to touch her. But now, his heart was filled with anger, hardened as stone. He felt no pain at all, and even felt that this punishment was far from enough.
Seeing Shen Xingchuan approaching him, Xiao An stood up from the sofa, hid Yao Yingxia behind him, and said calmly, "She's just drunk."
Shen Xingchuan sneered and said, "Are you drunk too?"
Ever since the first time they met, he sincerely hated this man, and it turned out that there was a reason for it. Shen Xingchuan grabbed his collar and punched him to the point of beating him beyond recognition.
Xiao An was not afraid of being beaten. As long as he didn't hurt Yao Yingxia, he could do whatever he wanted to vent his anger. In the end, he just stood there, motionless, but Shen Xingchuan's arm was suddenly hugged tightly by someone.
Yao Yingxia was clearly frightened to death, but when she saw him about to hurt Xiao An, she rushed out without hesitation and begged bitterly, "I was wrong, please forgive me, this is all my fault, it has nothing to do with my brother, please let him go, we will never meet again."
Yao Yingxia had never been so talkative, nor had she ever begged him so tearfully. This was the first time Shen Xingchuan felt she was being noisy. "Yao Yingxia, how dare you?" He pushed her away and said, "If I don't kill him today, I'll take your last name, okay?"
If Xiao An hadn't helped her, Yao Yingxia would have fallen to the floor covered with debris. He couldn't stand seeing his sister being so humble, and now seeing Shen Xingchuan being so cruel, he couldn't tolerate it even more.
Xiao An grabbed her arm and tried to drag her sister behind him, but Shen Xingchuan grabbed her other hand.
He was clearly drunk, yet still possessed immense strength. He nearly crushed Yao Yingxia's wrist. Fear and pain brought out more tears, but Shen Xingchuan remained unmoved. He chuckled and said, "Yao Yingxia, why did you have to go to your brother when you could go to anyone else? You're so horny, can't I satisfy you?"
When Xiao An heard him say this, her heart jumped. No one could insult his sister like this. Shen Xingchuan was hit hard in the stomach and finally let go of Yao Yingxia's hand and fell to the ground.
Xiao An saw that his sister's wrist was red from being grabbed by him, and he could vaguely see bluish fingerprints. His eyes were dark and dirty.
Shen Xingchuan didn't realize the danger was coming. He just stared at her with a distorted face and said, "Xia Xia, I will break your legs, peel off your skin, and lock you up here forever so that you can never go out and seduce others again."
Seeing his crazy and confident words, Yao Yingxia was like a weed swept by a hurricane, almost torn to pieces. She ignored Shen Xingchuan's threats and said to Xiao An, "Brother, you go first. I will be fine."
He lowered his head and saw his sister's pitiful red eyes from crying. He seemed to have made up his mind and helped Yao Yingxia walk to the door: "Sister, you go outside first, I'll be out soon."
Yao Yingxia understood his intention almost instantly and held on to the edge of the wine cabinet tightly, refusing to let go.
The memory seemed to go back to many years ago, when Xu Nian was not around and Yao Qihang had bad intentions towards her.
The bedroom door lock was broken by Yao Qihang with a knife. She ran to the living room in panic. As soon as she opened the door, Yao Qihang grabbed her hair and threw her to the ground.
Yao Yingxia hit the back of her head, felt dizzy, and found that she could not stand up.
What were you thinking at that time?
She was probably praying desperately that someone would come and save her.
Thankfully, she saw a familiar pair of white sneakers parked outside the door.
It was the first day of the public new year.
Xiao An carried her out the door and smiled gently: "Sister, you go outside first, I will be out soon."
Then the door slammed shut in front of her.
At first, Yao Yingxia could still hear Yao Qihang's begging for mercy, but later there were only shrill screams, which lasted for about two or three minutes, and there was no movement in the house.
Then the door was opened, and Xiao An's white down jacket was splattered with blood, only his face was clean.
As if worried that she would be scared, he took off his down jacket, took Yao Yingxia's hand and said, "Don't cry, sister, come and have dinner with me."
Xiao An's life seemed to collapse from that day on.
Although he was smiling at this moment, his eyes were as determined as they were back then.
Yao Yingxia broke several of her nails, but she refused to let him push her out the door. She begged desperately, "Brother, calm down. You know if we're arrested again, we'll definitely get the death penalty. How am I going to live without you?"
As she spoke with tears in her eyes, Xiao An's eyes were still filled with murderous intent and he refused to look back. It seemed that only by cutting that man into pieces could he completely guarantee his sister's safety.
Xiao An began to pry open her fingers that were clinging to the wine cabinet one by one.
Seeing his stubborn defiance, Yao Yingxia finally lost her patience and slapped him, saying hysterically, "Xiao An, are you really going to kill me? How about we die together?"
Xiao An had never seen her look so crazy before, and he finally regained his sanity a little. He always listened to his sister, and he couldn't make her angry this time.
Just as Xiao An was about to take Yao Yingxia away from this place, he felt a sharp pain in his back.
Something not too sharp stabbed into his flesh, scratching him.
The pain spread from his left shoulder to his right waist. Xiao An's face was distorted with pain, but he didn't make any sound. He just turned around and looked at Shen Xingchuan.
Yao Yingxia didn't know what was happening until she caught a glimpse of Xiao An's back. His white sweatshirt was ripped open, revealing the flesh underneath, a shocking sight.
She was probably heartbroken and wanted to cover the long wound, but as soon as she touched the warm, bright red blood, she moved her hand away as if she was scalded.
Shen Xingchuan clenched the broken vase in his hand and smiled at her, "Xia Xia, are you distressed? Can I make you feel even more distressed?"
After saying that, he glanced at Xiao An's eyes.
He drank too much today and moved much slower than usual. If Xiao An had not been caught off guard and his attention had not been all on Yao Yingxia, Shen Xingchuan, who looked drunk, would not have been able to hurt him at all.
Yao Yingxia didn't even see Xiao An's movements clearly. Shen Xingchuan had already been pressed to the ground. The bloody piece of porcelain had come into Xiao An's hands at some point. He pressed against the artery near Shen Xingchuan's neck, seeming to be hesitating about where to start.
Shen Xingchuan showed no fear. He even pointed to his neck excitedly and continued to provoke Xiao An: "Why, you don't dare to do it? Xiao An, it turns out you are a coward. You only dare to seduce other people's wives, but you don't dare to kill people?"
After saying that, he started laughing again. What the best birthday gift was? It turned out to be just a prelude to the collapse of the world. The Creator finally couldn't stand him going so smoothly, so he pushed him to the clouds and then threw him down hard.
