Shen Ye could feel Jiang Chen's feelings for him, so intense, but why, even though Jiang Chen clearly liked him, wouldn't allow himself to like Shen Ye...?
After a passionate encounter, Jiang Chen held Chen Ye in his arms. Neither of them spoke, and they remained silent for a long time before he finally spoke softly.
“I have loved someone since I was a child. When I grew up, he became a general and I was just an ordinary citizen. Luckily, we fell in love. He said that one day he would take me home with a legitimate reason. So I counted down the days every day, waiting for my general to come home in full military uniform.”
Shen Ye looked up at Jiang Chen's profile, surprised that Jiang Chen would suddenly tell him these things.
Hearing him recount the past, Chen Ye felt a slight pang in his heart. He tried to suppress his emotions and asked, "And then? Did your general come to pick you up?"
A glistening liquid slid down Jiang Chen's face as he cried, "He's here. He's in full military attire, riding a tall horse and carrying a sword."
"Then why are you crying again?"
"Because he didn't come to pick me up, he came to kill my whole family." As he said this, Jiang Chen lowered his head and stared at Shen Ye.
"And then what?"
After another silence, Jiang Chen spoke with a heavy nasal tone: "Later... I killed his loyal monarch, I killed the people he protected, and he betrayed me, so I will never let anything he cares about go on."
Upon hearing this, Shen Ye fell silent. He didn't know what to say. The general deserved to die, but the common people were innocent.
Shen Ye remained silent. Jiang Chen stroked his face, as if admiring a work of art, and continued slowly:
"Later, my general killed me with his own hands. Fearing my revenge, he extracted my soul and sealed it in a mirror. My body was put into a water vat and buried underground forever."
Jiang Chen's voice trembled as he spoke, but his gaze toward Shen Ye was innocent and gentle.
"Now that I'm out of this world, I will no longer be the one who longs to be taken home by the general. I will be the one who rides a tall horse to marry the general."
"Bei, I've killed so many people, but I never thought of killing you."
He held her so tightly that Shen Ye had the illusion that she was about to be crushed.
He rested his chin on Shen Ye's head and said, "I once thought the most beautiful scene in my life was you coming to marry me in a grand sedan chair, but I never got to see that day."
Jiang Chen tearfully recounted his ordeal, while Shen Ye was furious. That general truly deserved to die for committing such an unforgivable act.
He greedily absorbed Shen Ye's body heat, and Shen Ye let him gently stroke her hair.
Shen Ye suddenly felt a desire to cherish him.
Yes, I want to cherish a ghost, and I want him to no longer wander aimlessly, no longer have nowhere to belong.
Sensing Shen Ye's concern for him, Jiang Chen hugged him even tighter. Even if it was just an illusion, it was what he needed right now.
When Shen Ye woke up the next day, Jiang Chen was standing in front of the French windows with his back to the bed. His tall and slender figure and white robe were warm in the sun.
Perhaps it was to obtain his essence that she developed feelings for him, and thinking of this, Shen Ye felt relieved.
If we can defeat him, we can obtain his essence, bringing us one step closer to resurrection.
Shen Ye was in a good mood, so good that she completely forgot the complicated and sad expression on Jiang Chen's face during their intimate moments last night.
She put on her pajamas, tiptoed off the bed, and hugged him from behind.
Although his body was cold, it made Shen Ye feel at ease.
