Feng Guang's voice finally trembled, "So... you plan to eat me after my hand heals?"
"Not bad." Just two simple words, spoken with nonchalance.
She finally understood why he took such good care of her wounds. Perhaps all mental illnesses have a kind of obsessive-compulsive disorder, which is to have the most perfect prey. She thought she understood that the one who really had a cannibalistic hobby was not Nangong Zhe... but the man in front of her who was smiling gently at her.
Qi Wei held her hand. Perhaps he didn't understand why she was suddenly afraid. He just saw that her body was still trembling, so he couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Are you cold? Let's go back to the dormitory."
She remained silent and did not answer him.
At this moment, other doctors dressed in white arrived. Qi Wei merely glanced at them and said, "Take care of these."
As soon as he finished speaking, he walked past the two corpses on the ground with a flourish, heading towards the dormitory.
Feng Guang glanced back and saw the doctors mopping up the corpses on the ground, and several people blocking the hole. Perhaps that hole was dug out by those two dead men over hundreds of days and nights with only a few tools. And those doctors, they weren't doctors at all.
This is a mental hospital in an upside-down place, like a human kingdom taken over by monsters, and she... will she be a survivor or a martyr?
They returned to the dormitory, and Qi Wei led her to his room. He took a coat from the closet and draped it over her shoulders. After doing this, he smiled and asked, "Are you still cold?"
"No..." She clutched the hem of her skirt, her heart turning cold.
Qi Wei stroked her head, a gentle smile on his face, as warm as a spring breeze. "Feng Guang, you should tell me next time you feel cold. If you get sick, I'll feel sorry for you."
She suddenly realized this was the funniest joke in the world. Looking up at him, his expression remained as elegant and gentle as ever. She finally couldn't help but ask, "What is our relationship now? Hunter and prey?"
"I think... they must be lovers."
She paused for a second, "Lover?"
"Now that I've admitted I like you, and you've expressed your feelings to me before, if we both feel the same way, shouldn't we be lovers?"
She laughed too, a self-deprecating laugh, "You have no idea what a lover means."
She had thought that she would try to win this man over and make him fall in love with her. However, it was completely impossible for a man like him. He had no normal understanding of human nature and was not even aware of the fear he brought her.
He still lives in his own world, a world that normal people cannot access.
"I understand." He wrapped his arms around her waist, lowered his head, and pressed his lips to her ear, his voice languid. "I'll do all the things lovers do with Fengguang."
"Then...you will kill me with your own hands." She showed no sign of being moved; her clear eyes held only indifference.
He reached out and brushed a stray hair behind her ear. "This world is unworthy of such splendor, and the beauty of this scenery is enough for me to appreciate alone."
"You make it sound so noble, but in the end, all you want is to kill me."
A kiss landed on the corner of her eye, and he whispered, "This is not killing, but our union."
