Chapter 178
Xia Yan lowered her eyes and stared at Song Yun walking in. The natural upward curve of her eyes was like spring water flowing over peach blossom branches, or like a glass cup that had been poisoned.
He grabbed a chair from the side and hurled it at the man.
The shock of seeing an old friend, and the rapid pounding of my heart, all stopped abruptly the moment I saw him pick up a chair and hit someone.
He heard himself scream and jumped out of bed; his legs were trembling from being with Song Yun for so long.
Jiang You lunged at Xia Yan, but he pushed her away. With no other option, she threw herself on Song Yun and cried out, "Stop fighting!"
"You're protecting him?"
The girl was wearing a loosely draped hoodie, which clearly wasn't hers. The wide collar revealed half of her collarbone, covered with varying shades of hickeys that resembled blooming red plum blossoms, announcing what had happened.
Xia Yan slowly lowered the hand that had been holding the chair high, her knuckles turning white from the excessive force, and faint bluish veins showing through her fair skin.
His face was tense, and his lips were trembling.
During the months he spent abroad, the months he was separated from her, his longing for her did not fade with time; instead, it became a slow poison, torturing him in every sleepless night.
But Jiang You had a new trick up her sleeve; she always found a way to find his sore spot and relentlessly poked at it.
Watching her protect Song Yun felt like being repeatedly slashed by a dull knife, a dense, throbbing pain tearing at her heart.
Liar! What bullshit about being mismatched in social status or having incompatible values? All that talk about breaking up was just to fool a child.
Are her and Song Yun from similar backgrounds? Do they share the same values?
Why was he able to be with Song Yun?
At this moment, he should use the most vicious and sarcastic words to ridicule her, crush her dignity into dust, and make her suffer the same pain as him.
How did he treat people who made him angry in the past?
The women become prostitutes, and the men sell their bodies or are sent to White Island as prey. Didn't Leonard say that the island's inhabitants are almost all hunted to extinction?
And then there's Li Wei, he has a man-eating shark, and... and many other punishments.
Once she's dead, everything will be over. Yes, once she's dead...
The man's angry, rapid breathing gradually calmed down, and a deathly silence spread like thick asphalt throughout every inch of the room. The air was so stagnant that it was almost tangible, and even his breathing sounded particularly abrupt and jarring.
As Jiang You lay on top of Song Yun, he looked up and suddenly met her eyes, which were devoid of any emotion.
He stood there watching her, not moving for a long time. Jiang You felt scared. Song Yun was pale and panting. He propped himself up and shielded her behind him: "Don't be afraid, Brother Li is coming soon."
Staring at the two clinging together like doomed lovers, Xia Yan's face was so gloomy it could drip water. He had just convinced himself that his calm emotions had suddenly erupted again.
Just as it was he and she who were on the run, what right did Song Yun have?
He kicked Song Yun away and squatted down in front of the girl.
Jiang You closed his eyes in terror, his body trembling.
He once said that if she died, he would die with her. Jiang You is a liar, but he is not.
He doesn't want to die at all right now, so he won't hurt Youyou.
"What am I to you?" Xia Yan asked softly. "Why are you afraid of me? Hmm? I've never hit you before, have I?"
A banging sound came from outside.
He calmly pulled a small box out of his pocket: "I saw it at an auction abroad, and I thought you would like it, so I bought it."
The box was opened, and inside was a very delicate brooch badge, shaped like an osmanthus flower.
Why do you think she likes osmanthus flowers?
He wanted to put it on her, but his gaze fell on her clothes, and he paused, saying, "Never mind, you can put it on yourself."
He closed the box and forcefully shoved it into her hand.
The door was broken open, and Song Yun's bodyguards rushed in. The scene was chaotic. Jiang You vaguely heard someone say, "Young Master Song Yun's right arm is broken."
Someone else asked her, "Miss Jiang, may you come to the hospital with us? I think Young Master Song Yun would love to see you."
"Okay, okay," she said, coming back to her senses, and followed Song Yun's private doctor. Xia Yan said calmly from the side, "Don't go."
She ignored him and strode forward. Just before getting into the car, she seemed to see Teacher Pei Qing. Jiang You suddenly stopped and looked over, but there was no one there.
"Miss Jiang?" Song Yun's men called out to her.
Jiang You shook her head. Even if it was Teacher Pei Qing, it had nothing to do with her.
