"Senior brother, I beg you not to hurt them." Yu Jiao was anxious. She had been deceiving herself these days. In her heart, she couldn't help but separate Cheng Ying and her senior brother Fu Chuan into two different people, deliberately ignoring how cruel and ruthless he was when he was Cheng Ying.
Until this moment, Cheng Ying's gentleness and forbearance disappeared, and she had to face it. The life that her senior brother lived under the name of Cheng Ying was all about him.
Cheng Ying looked straight into her eyes, her gaze heavy and painful: "You are always so soft-hearted, and you have endless kindness towards everyone, but why are you not willing to be soft-hearted towards me? It is said that love is always indebted. You said you owe me, so why don't you want to love me?"
"Senior brother..." Yu Jiao couldn't bear to hear him say that. Her heart felt sour and tears welled up in her eyes. She couldn't be as decisive and straightforward towards her senior brother as she was when she rejected Gu Yun. When she faced him, she always felt reluctant and couldn't bear to speak too bluntly and hurt her senior brother.
"Brother, please don't force me..." Yu Jiao closed her eyes, moisture trickling down her cheeks. She hardened her heart, "Loving someone is not controlled by consciousness. Are you forcing me to lie against my will? Isn't this a kind of contempt for you?"
Cheng Ying smiled bitterly, but he didn't think it was contemptuous.
"Even if you lie and say you love me, I'm willing to accept you." As long as she is willing to stay with him, he doesn't care whether it is false love or not.
"Jiaojiao, I've given you chances time and time again, humbled myself, and begged for mercy, but why are you so stubborn?" He rubbed the corners of her lips with his fingertips, his voice soft and hoarse, "It doesn't matter, you'll change your mind soon."
Yu Jiao felt a chill all over her body and opened her almond-shaped eyes with slightly wet eyelashes. She didn't understand why Cheng Ying said that.
Cheng Ying took out a porcelain jar from her sleeve, and with her cold white fingers she opened the sealed mouth of the jar. A foul smell mixed with the smell of blood wafted towards her. Yu Jiao's face turned pale when she saw the strange insects twisting in the jar.
She asked in a trembling voice: "Brother, what are you doing? What is this bug?"
Cheng Ying stroked her head with her big hand, and said in a soft and coaxing voice: "Don't be afraid."
He took out a dagger, grabbed Yu Jiao's shackled hands, and slashed at her fingertips.
Yu Jiao struggled with all her might. Although she had never seen the legendary Miao Gu, the extremely strange insect in the porcelain jar in front of her was most likely it.
"Brother, let me go!" This was the first time she spoke to him in such a sharp tone since she met Cheng Ying, calling him by his name loudly, "Fu Chuan, you want to cast a spell on me, are you crazy?"
Cheng Ying suppressed her struggles and soothed her gently, "Jiaojiao, be good. Just let this bug get into your body, and you won't have to suffer anymore. You will soon forget Yu Qizhe and fall in love with me, and only me."
"I won't force you to make a choice. I'll help you choose." Cheng Ying pinched her fingertips. The sharp blade just scratched them lightly, leaving a blood mark, and blood beads overflowed instantly.
Cheng Ying pinched her fingertips and reached into the porcelain jar.
The wriggling white poisonous insect smelled the blood and began to twist eagerly.
Yu Jiao was shocked and frightened, tears falling uncontrollably, but she could only watch her bleeding fingers being forced into the porcelain jar. She felt desperate: "Fu Chuan, don't make me hate you! If you really do this, I will no longer recognize you as my senior brother."
Cheng Ying froze for a moment, but only for a moment. Then he pressed Yu Jiao's finger into the porcelain jar. The poisonous insect squirmed and pounced on the Korean blood. It quickly ran along the wound and entered Yu Jiao's fingertips and disappeared.
"Fu Chuan..." Yu Jiao felt the itch of the bugs crawling on her fingertips. Her eyes were filled with tears, and her face showed both despair and disappointment.
Cheng Ying silently wiped the blood off Yu Jiao's fingertips with a handkerchief and applied the ointment to help the dead skin regenerate new flesh.
"You might as well let me die instead of turning me into a puppet controlled by insects." Yu Jiao looked at him with a chill in her heart. Perhaps the insects had started to take effect, and her mind began to become dizzy. "Fu Chuan, you really disappoint me. You are not my senior brother. Senior brothers would not treat me like this."
Cheng Ying listened to her heart-wrenching words quietly and wiped away the tears on her cheeks with her fingertips: "I am no longer Fu Chuan."
He has long since failed to become Fu Chuan.
Yu Jiao is the only meaning of his life.
His heart had been empty all these years, as desolate as a stagnant pool of water. Only after he found Jiaojiao did the stagnant water begin to ripple and he felt truly alive.
"Whether you hate me or don't recognize me as your senior brother." Cheng Ying picked up Yu Jiao, who was already a little confused, and walked out of the house. "Jiaojiao, don't you understand yet? I can't lose you." So whether it was her hatred or her disappointment, he accepted it all.
The maid outside the room had been frightened by the noise in the room and her face turned pale. Seeing Cheng Ying carrying Yu Jiao out, she hurriedly lowered her head and said, "Master, the young lady's luggage has been packed and loaded onto the carriage."
Cheng Ying responded calmly and said to the two maids, "Take your valuables and run for your lives."
The two men breathed a sigh of relief. They had thought they were going to be silenced, but unexpectedly they had escaped.
Seeing Cheng Ying carrying Yu Jiao away, the two maids hurried back to their room, picked up their bags and left.
The carriage outside the door had been waiting for a long time. Cheng Ying carried Yu Jiao and bent over to get into the carriage. She placed her on a cushioned couch and said to the outside, "Let's go."
