An remained noncommittal in response to Xiang Wan's question, only narrowing his eyes slightly as he touched her face with his fingertips, saying in a tone that was both serious and playful: "From now on, don't try to provoke me again. I don't know what will happen then!"
How terrifying! This was a blatant threat, but it definitely made Xiang Wan feel threatened. If the villain looked so young because he had been injected with a drug, then wouldn't he be many times older than the original owner of this body? Should she ask his age first?
Xiang Wan was struggling with this issue, but on the surface she still obediently said, "As long as An doesn't do anything to betray me, I will stay obediently by An's side."
This pure trust made An's brow twitch. He turned away, somewhat evasively saying, "Even if there is, it's for your own good. As long as you behave..."
Why should she just obediently do what she's told? If she's still going to be used as an experimental subject, can she even put up a fight?
"An, it's their fault, it's not your fault!" Xiang Wan raised her hand and gently patted the back of his hand, saying sincerely, "If it were me, I'm afraid I wouldn't have made it this far."
That's absolutely true. Having received no care from childhood and being hurt by his own parents, anyone with a slightly fragile heart would probably have left this world long ago. So, being a villain isn't easy; first and foremost, you need a strong heart!
Since you've chosen to stand on his side, you must acknowledge his feelings, empathize with him, and strive for his compassion. Even if it means going against the whole world (which it already is), you must remain steadfast.
"Hehehe, hahahahaha..." An laughed, laughing until tears streamed down his face, laughing until his whole body trembled, and finally it turned into a low sob. He covered his face with his hands, and it took him a long time to gradually calm down.
"Do you know how much I once hoped that someone in this world would understand me, help me, or even just offer a word of comfort? After countless waits and despair, I lost faith in this world and resolved to rebuild it. I was filled with resentment; my world was filled with darkness, and I wanted to destroy everything!"
Just now, your words rekindled a glimmer of light in my life, allowing me to feel less hatred and resentment. So, Wan'er, if you weren't by my side, this world would have no reason to exist.
Xiang Wan fell silent. What kind of people did the villain encounter? If even one person had lent him a helping hand, things wouldn't have turned out this way.
She lifted An's hand, interlocked her index fingers with his, and smiled, "So, I won't joke about my life anymore. This is between the two of us, isn't it?"
Seeing that Xiang Wan was very serious, An smiled—the first relaxed smile she'd ever given, warm and charming. Xiang Wan blushed slightly and quickly teased, "An, don't smile like that at other people in the future, or I'll get jealous."
An actually nodded seriously, and smiled even more happily.
Damn it, lying here listening to his awful past, not daring to make any big movements, my whole body is stiff. I can't let him keep her tied up like this; I have to make him loosen his grip on his own.
Xiang Wan reached out her other hand, wanting to touch An's face, but was stopped halfway by the chain. She shook the chain in frustration, and finally threw her arm onto the bed in vain.
See? They can't even do a face-touching kiss anymore. Isn't it time to loosen the chains?
Xiang Wan's eyes were full of dissatisfaction and regret at not being able to touch An, which surprised An.
"What are you doing?"
Holy crap, her emotional intelligence is so low! She can't even see such an obvious hint. She's definitely never experienced humanistic care.
"An, my heart aches for you, I want to hug you. Could you please release my chains for a moment?"
Now that you've said it, shouldn't you at least offer some kind of response?
"hug?"
Holy crap, she completely missed the point! Shouldn't the point be loosening the chains? After maneuvering with the villain, Xiang Wan was practically in tears! The crucial thing was that she had to make him believe she was only trying to untie him for his sake, otherwise, she didn't even want to think about what would happen if the villain turned evil again!
"Yes, hugging is the most basic way for humans to express emotions. An, would you like to try it?"
An looked at her hands in confusion, then stared at Xiang Wan's waist and abdomen for a while. Then she pressed herself against Xiang Wan, gripping her waist with both hands and bringing her mouth close to her ear. Her breath brushed against Xiang Wan's earlobe, sending a tingling sensation through half of her body, making her feel terrible.
"is that so?"
As she spoke, An turned her head to look at Xiang Wan, seemingly dissatisfied. Suddenly, she slipped her hands under Xiang Wan's waist, crossed them, and hugged her back, lifting her entire body upwards.
"Cough cough!" Xiang Wan's face turned bright red. Could someone tell her why the scene suddenly turned like this? Poor chest, it's almost flattened!
Being taken advantage of by An like this, and then having to slowly teach him the correct way to do it, Xiang Wan really felt like she was just being silly and bringing that up for no reason.
"Cough, An, you, let go quickly, I can't breathe, cough, it's coming."
Hearing this, An loosened his grip slightly, but didn't let go of Xiang Wan. He leaned down and whispered in her ear, "Is this a hug? It's so warm!"
Sigh, she's acting so innocently even when she's being taken advantage of. What can Xiang Wan say? She's speechless.
"An, this isn't a hug. A real hug is when two people stand facing each other, their arms around each other, which can give encouragement, comfort, and love."
"like?"
An seemed to have thought of something, and her face suddenly turned very pale. Her eyes were fixed on Xiang Wan, and they were starting to turn red.
Oh my god, what did she just say? Wasn't it just hugging to express love? Oh no, I forgot that before she fainted, she was hugging that zombie. She really brought this on herself.
"Only those of the same race can express love. Like us, if you hug me, I want to hug you back. Ann, don't you want to try?"
Let's change the subject quickly, or we might not see the sun tomorrow. Hmm, it seems she hasn't seen the sun in ages.
An's emotions gradually calmed down. She slowly got up, sat on the edge of the bed, looked into Xiang Wan's eyes, and said, word by word, "Although I really want to, it's not possible now. Let's wait a little longer. Once I'm fully prepared, Wan'er won't have to lie here all day."
What? Did she hear something terrible? What do you mean he's fully prepared? Is there something he's not letting her know?
"Sweetie, sleep for a while. I'll definitely let you out in a few days."
Before Xiang Wan could ask anything, her eyelids started to droop, and she soon fell asleep.
An stood beside her, tracing her profile with her finger. "Wan'er, this world is too filthy; how could I let it pollute your eyes? Just wait a little longer, it'll be soon, very soon..."
Although Xiang Wan had fallen into a deep sleep, her consciousness was not. She watched An leave, saw the lingering look in his eyes, and felt an unprecedentedly strong premonition of something bad.
