Chapter 155 The Anti-Human Boss 25
Recalling the conversation on the big screen, she roughly guessed the reason. She buried her face in his chest, and couldn't help but cry again. Her fingers gripped his clothes tightly; she didn't want to bring up his painful past. Her voice choked with emotion as she spoke, "Achen, why have you been gone for so long…"
Yi Xichen didn't answer her question, but instead buried his head in her neck in dependence, "Qiuqiu, don't move, let me hold you for a while, just a little while."
As he inhaled her delicate fragrance, he slowly closed his eyes, and the noise in his mind gradually faded away.
Xu Qiuqiu felt sorry for him and obediently let him hug her. His body temperature was very high, like a big furnace. It took a long time before he let go of her.
Yi Xichen calmed down, smiled, and took her hand. "Qiuqiu, do you remember what I just told you? I want to give you a gift."
Seeing his smiling face, Xu Qiuqiu felt even sadder. She pretended to be curious and asked, "What gift?"
"Come with me." Yi Xichen pulled her forward.
Xu Qiuqiu obediently followed him to the top floor, where he stopped.
"Qiuqiu, look up."
Xu Qiuqiu looked up as instructed, and the roof of the building, which was originally white, had turned into a black starry sky. One after another, bright shooting stars streaked across the sky, each one flashing with stunning brilliance. She couldn't help but exclaim, "It's a meteor shower! How beautiful!"
Seeing her smile, Yi Xichen was also happy. "Qiuqiu, you can tell me what your wish is, and the shooting star will help you make it come true."
He didn't know how to please Qiuqiu; he just wanted to know what her wishes were, and he would help her fulfill them one by one, so he came up with this idea.
Xu Qiuqiu looked at the roof. She knew it wasn't a real meteor shower and wondered what he had made it with. She looked up at him and smiled, "Thank you for the gift, Achen. I like it very much, but only Achen can grant my wish."
Yi Xichen was taken aback at first, then smiled gently at her, "Then tell me, Qiuqiu, and I'll help you make it happen, okay?"
"My wish is for Achen to be happy every day and safe and sound every year."
Yi Xichen was dazzled by her smile. Under the starlight, her eyes were gentle and tender, and his heart couldn't help but pound wildly. He said affectionately, "Qiuqiu, only you can help me fulfill my wish, because I will only be happy when you are by my side."
Seeing his focused gaze, Xu Qiuqiu's heart also started racing. "Yes, I will always stay by Achen's side."
The girl's smile was so bright and captivating that he felt the entire starry sky pale in comparison. He thought he would probably never feel there was anything more beautiful than her again.
This is the second time. Qiuqiu's wishes are all related to him, but are they really related to him?
He's currently playing the role of a self with confused memories, not the real him...
Thinking this, he instantly felt lost, and his happiness vanished in an instant.
I feel terrible, like my heart is being crushed by a huge rock, and I can't breathe.
"Achen, what's wrong?" Xu Qiuqiu noticed his mood suddenly drop and asked him worriedly, holding his hand.
Yi Xichen suppressed his disappointment and shook his head. "It's nothing, I'm just a little too happy."
I've already given myself a pep talk, but why am I still so bothered by it, to the point of almost going crazy?
"Qiuqiu, I'm leaving for a while." To avoid losing control, Yi Xichen said this and left.
Xu Qiuqiu watched him disappear from sight. She looked up at the starry sky, where the meteor shower seemed to fall endlessly, as if it would never stop.
She waited patiently for him to return, but he still hadn't come back when she started to feel sleepy. She found it strange, so she went downstairs to look for him and searched every room, but she couldn't find him.
Aside from not going to the bathroom, did he fall asleep while taking a bath?
She walked to the bathroom door and knocked. "Achen, are you in there?"
"Qiuqiu, don't come in..." A hoarse voice came from the bathroom.
Hearing his abnormal voice, Xu Qiuqiu was worried about him, and she forced the door open against his will.
In the bathroom, the handsome young man leaned against the wall, his eyes slightly narrowed. Blood was seeping from his chest and fingernails. He seemed surprised that she had come in, and looked at her with some panic, "Qiuqiu..."
"Achen, what are you doing?" Xu Qiuqiu's heart tightened and her throat went dry when she saw this scene. "Why are you hurting yourself?"
She didn't understand. Everything was fine just now. She hadn't said anything to upset him, and she was almost unable to hold back her tears.
With pale lips, Yi Xichen comforted her, "It's nothing, it's just that this scar is growing new flesh, and it was so itchy that I accidentally tore it off."
"I'm perfectly fine, Qiuqiu. You should go back and rest. I'll come with you after I've taken care of this injury, okay?"
Xu Qiuqiu didn't believe him at all. Her eyes were glistening with tears. "Achen, what's wrong? Please tell me."
"Qiuqiu, do you really want to know?"
After receiving her nod, Yi Xichen's eyes were filled with despair, and his tone was filled with resentment, "This scar is too unsightly. You promised not to leave me because of it, but that wasn't me back then!"
I remember you smiling at him, comforting him, coaxing him, and whispering sweet nothings in his ear. But whenever it's my turn, you want to leave me. I'm so jealous! I can't control myself anymore. I really don't want to hurt you.
I'm afraid I won't be able to control myself. I said I would love you well and treat you well. This is the only way I can keep myself clear-headed. The thought of appearing in front of you with a confused memory and pretending to be the person you like in order to win your favor is so painful!
The thought that all your affection and kindness are not mine is driving me crazy!
After saying this, he seemed to have lost all his strength. His face was terribly pale, and his whole body began to tremble. He looked at her with red eyes, as if he would completely collapse if she made the slightest other move.
Hearing his words, Xu Qiuqiu couldn't help but shed tears. It turned out that he had been struggling with this matter all along. No wonder he injected himself with fever-inducing drugs, while she knew nothing about it.
Seeing her tears, Yi Xichen felt as if his heart was being torn apart. Why was she crying? Was it because she knew he wasn't the one with confused memories?
He suppressed his pain and madness, walked towards her, and pinned her against the door. His eyes were filled with an unfathomable melancholy. "Qiuqiu, have you never liked me as I am now?"
He was very close to her, and Xu Qiuqiu could smell the blood on him, staining his white shirt. She felt even more distressed. Looking at him, she choked back tears and said, "Achen, I've always loved you. No matter what you're like, I've always loved you. I love you simply because it's you, it's really not like what you said..."
