"Brother Cang, are you tired?" In the dim candlelight, Su Wanti could see his ugly face.
There was a coldness in Dugu Cang's eyes, an expression that Su Wanti had never seen before.
Su Wanti could feel his love for her. If he didn't care about her, he wouldn't have to rush to this small town at all hours and sneak into her grandparents' house to see her.
When Dugu Cang heard her calling him, he felt bitter in his heart.
Dugu Cang rushed back to the capital in a storm. When he learned that she was there, he did not stay in the capital but rushed to this small town without stopping.
When he arrived, it was still light, and for fear of disturbing her grandparents, he hid in her residence.
He would wait until night fell and she would return to her room alone, then appear before her again and be tender with her for a moment to ease the pain of missing her for many days.
Unexpectedly, this hour of hiding made him face the reality.
Just now, Su Wanti was chatting with her grandparents, and the two old people would mention her childhood stories from time to time.
Su Wanti remembers it all.
Dugu Cang also remembered the interesting childhood stories she mentioned, because he was involved in most of them.
However, there was no trace of herself in Su Wanti's words when she recalled the past.
Not only did Su Wanti not mention him, even her grandparents did not mention him at all.
This reality shattered Dugu Cang's last bit of hope.
Before this, he had thought that maybe Su Wanti had lost her memory and that was why she forgot him...
It turned out that she had never lost her memory. She just deliberately stopped mentioning him and deliberately erased all traces of him.
So does her family.
Dugu Cang felt like there was a void in his heart. He had never felt so uncomfortable before. After squatting on the beam for several hours, he finally decided to ask her in person.
"Brother Cang." Su Wanti walked forward and shook his arm.
"Grandfather said that there are benefactors who help us in our family business, but are you helping behind the scenes?"
Dugu Cang glanced at him coldly, nodded, and said in a deep voice, "It's me."
Because he still remembered the old friendship, he provided some convenience to Su Wanti's maternal grandparents.
Now thinking about it, he was stupid and wishful thinking. Others had deleted him from their past memories, but he was still foolishly thinking about the old times.
"I won't do that again." Dugu Cang's eyes were dark, like the dark sky outside the window.
Hearing this, Su Wanti was shocked. "Brother Cang, what do you mean by this? Are you no longer going to take care of my grandparents' family?"
Dugu Cang looked at Su Wanti with cold eyes, as if he wanted to see through her heart.
He sneered, grabbed Su Wanti's wrist with his backhand, and tightened it unconsciously.
"You hurt me..." Su Wanti lowered her voice, frowned and cried out in pain.
Dugu Cang seemed not to hear her, and tightly grasped her wrists, forcing her into the corner.
At this moment, Su Wanti's back was pressed against the cold wall, and the wall of people in front of her chest was not warm at all.
She was so cold that her teeth chattered together and she twisted her body. "Let me go. This is my grandparents' house. You can't mess around..."
Dugu Cang didn't care. He pressed his knees against her legs, restrained her hands with one hand, and lifted her chin with the other hand, forcing her to look into his eyes.
There was anger between Dugu Cang's brows. His facial features were deep and cold, and there was a hideous scar on his face. When he had no expression, he looked very cold and scary, not to mention that he was angry now.
He looked as ferocious as a demon from hell. If a timid person was stared at and restrained by him like this, he would probably faint immediately.
"Tell me the truth, has anyone ever called you "Wanmei" before?"
————
Before Su Wanti was reborn, she was a lonely ghost wandering outside the underworld for several days. She was not afraid of Dugu Cang's terrifying look of anger.
She just couldn't understand why Dugu Cang was going crazy?
Even if Dugu Cang didn't say it, she could guess that she was just a substitute for his former younger sister.
Su Wanti doesn't mind being someone else's substitute.
She wanted to survive by relying on the power of the Regent. She didn't want to replace his beloved, nor did she want to replace her white moonlight.
Dugu Cang treated her as a substitute for his younger sister, so she was content to be a substitute for his long-desired younger sister.
She thought it was an unspoken secret between the two of them, a consensus they could reach without having to say it explicitly.
But what is Dugu Cang doing now?
What does he mean by asking this?
Could it be that he is out of his mind and really thinks of himself as his younger sister?
Su Wanti looked into Dugu Cang's eyes and said word by word: "Never."
She couldn't lie about something like this. She couldn't fabricate her own experiences just to please the Regent.
Hearing this answer, Dugu Cang's eyes were complicated, with shock, confusion and pain.
"Look into my eyes, listen to my voice..." He let go of Su Wanti's wrist, took her hand and stroked his eyes and Adam's apple.
"You once said that my eyes reminded you of the stars in the sky, and my voice was your favorite. I didn't let them change it. I want to leave these traces so that you can recognize me."
"Look carefully, listen carefully. Can you really not remember? Do you really not remember? Has there really never been anyone in your life who called you Wanmei?"
His mood was almost insane.
Dugu Cang's questioning made Su Wanti breathless. She only felt chest tightness and headache.
"No, no, I said no!"
With a bang, Su Wanti shook off Dugu Cang's hand. The more she thought about it, the more her headache became, so she simply stopped thinking about it.
She looked back at Dugu Cang with a cold expression, completely losing her previous gentle and considerate demeanor.
