Chapter 128
The voice, filled with disbelief, burst out: "Wh-what?"
The air seemed to freeze. Xia Bei approached step by step, and her heart pounded with fear, her breathing heavy and rapid.
If he doesn't say something else, he'll really strip her naked and help her take a bath, right?
"Xia Bei, did you say something to Song Yun that caused him to harm himself?" she asked.
"Are you questioning me because of Song Yun?" Xia Bei shifted his attention, lowering his eyelashes and looking at her with a sharp yet casual gaze: "Incredible, truly incredible. To save her beloved, the young girl disregarded the danger and went down the mountain. Such a selfless act is so touching and moving."
He said, "When I found out, I almost burst into tears at this pure and passionate love." His voice was rather sarcastic and effeminate, but he tried to appear nonchalant, which only made him seem more enigmatic: "Tell me, Jiang You, have you fallen for... Song Yun?"
The other person was very close to her; her waist was still against the edge of the sink.
Xia Bei's fingertips traced her collarbone, reaching the edge of the towel. He hooked his index finger around it, and the corners of his lips deepened in a smile: "Why aren't you saying anything?"
She met his unfathomable pupils, which were devoid of any warmth, reflecting her panic and disarray.
This person is dangerous, domineering, and always acts superior.
"I understand you came here because you're jealous, right?"
Xia Bei's gaze lingered on her face for two seconds, as if examining an exhibit. The sneer that rolled down his throat was colder than ice shards. He raised an eyebrow, his tone filled with undisguised mockery: "What you said is so strange. Isn't this perfectly reasonable? After all, your strange attraction is at work."
"Otherwise, do you think I really like you? Tell me, strip away your strange allure, what merits do you have that make you worthy of someone's affection?" Her face was deathly pale, partly from the cold, and partly from the fact that in front of Xia Bei, her dignity was always being dragged down and trampled to the ground.
Every human being has dignity.
Xia Bei then added casually, "You said you needed time to consider it, but a month has passed. Can you give me an answer now?"
Jiang You stood frozen, too afraid to move.
"Little bunny, open the door," he hummed a nursery rhyme, "I want to come in..."
He waited, but an unspeakable humiliation overwhelmed him. Jiang You pressed his lips tightly together, trying to compose himself, but tears still welled up uncontrollably in his eyes. He paused, then immediately became excited, licking away his tears slightly.
Yes, it's salty.
"Wow, I recognize you! You're from Xia Bei! Jiang You, where's Jiang You?" It was Shen Yi'an's arrogant voice.
Within seconds, the sounds of a fierce fight erupted outside, mixed with Song Wenxi's voice.
Xia Bei's eyes reddened slightly as he gradually came to his senses. He said calmly, "I almost messed up the plan."
He fiddled with the lighter between his fingertips, occasionally...
"What are you still standing there for? Do you want me to help you get dressed?" Xia Bei put on her glasses, reverting to her usual aloof demeanor.
Jiang You looked up into the amber eyes of Dianhua behind the glasses, which seemed to be both smiling and not smiling.
He tightened his grip, lowered his head, and quickly put on his clothes.
"You're such a good girl," Xia Bei said casually as he saw her dressed, then opened the door and went out.
