Chapter 38: Unspoken Confession



After dinner, they cleaned up and went into the room to pack their things and then rest.

The three Cang Yings lay down to rest early, while Han Lieze sat on the bed, thinking about what the girl had said today. The look in Shangguan Wan's eyes when she saw Shangguan Yunzhu today showed that she had lived in fear since she was a child. Her high vigilance was related to this, because if she relaxed, she might lose her life.

He grew up in a harmonious family, and only through military training did he reach where he is today. He has seen all kinds of life, but only when he saw the injuries and the journey that the girl he liked had suffered did he know how painful it was.

He could feel the girl's pain and hatred. Those people's death was not a pity, but today he subconsciously stopped the girl's movements and put some distance between them.

Han Lie felt suffocated in the room, so he went into the playback room to watch the video. He imagined the girl watching the video alone.

After dealing with Shangguan Yunzhu and Li Chongjiang, Shangguan Wan felt that she had avenged her previous life. Now she felt relaxed after a good sleep. She woke up in the middle of the night. Knowing that they were resting, she got up, poured a glass of water, and walked into the playback room. Unexpectedly, she was stunned when she entered.

"Why are you here? Don't you want to rest? Don't worry! I'll be watching here at night. You can have a good rest. Everything should be fine today!" Shangguan Wan saw Han Lie sitting in the studio. He had a tall body and sat on the sofa with a lazy look, like a well-fed and dormant lion. Even when he was sitting, he exuded a noble and cold temperament.

Han Lie didn't expect Shangguan Wan to come out. Looking at the girl in casual clothes, with the indifferent light and shadow scattered on her body, she gave people the visual impression of a fairy descending to earth.

Han Lie patted the sofa seat near him and motioned for her to sit down and "chat!"

"good"

Then there was silence in the room, no one spoke, as if waiting for the other to speak.

"Uh..." They both spoke at the same time

"You first" they spoke together again, the two looked at each other and smiled slightly.

"You tell me," Shangguan Wan said calmly.

"I'm sorry about what happened today," Han Lie whispered softly. This made Shangguan Wan look at him. Was he apologizing to her? It was unbelievable that someone as high and mighty as him would apologize to me.

"Never mind your business, it's my own business. I don't blame you. After all, you don't understand. I was the one who stood in the wrong place." Shangguan Wan's clear voice rang out.

The seemingly comforting words actually separated them completely. She had taken the initiative to help them, not because they begged her to do so. Why did she think they had to stand with her?

When Han Lie heard such distant words, he felt like he had eaten bitter herbs and was speechless. Han Lie looked at the girl's fair profile, as if he had made a decision, and looked at the girl with burning eyes. He wanted to tell her: he wanted to protect her, love her, and let her confide in him when she had troubles in the future.

Shangguan Wan felt the burning gaze, and she understood what kind of gaze it was. He liked her, but they were destined not to be together. One was good, the other evil, how could they be together!

Han Lie stood up and stood in front of the girl, intending to confess his feelings and tell her what was in his heart, because if he didn't say it now, he would never have another chance in the future.

Han Lie squatted down, one knee touching the ground, one leg bent, and looked at the girl seriously and attentively. "Wanwan..."

"Han Lie, take this fruit. One for each of you four. Remember, if you encounter a situation where you cannot defeat the zombies and your supernatural powers have been used up, eating this fruit can save your lives. I hope that day will never come to that point. Keep this fruit safe and don't lose it. Don't let anyone use it, understand? This is the last thing I can do for you!" Shangguan Wan saw what Han Lie meant, so she interrupted him early.

Shangguan Wan stretched out her delicate hand and touched Han Lie's brow. She used her index finger to touch the crystal core in Han Lie's head with a little spiritual energy and surrounded it. She looked at his handsome face and said, "The journey is long, take care!" Then she turned and left.

After Shangguan Wan left, Han Lie remained in the same position, completely motionless. He knew the girl knew what he was thinking, so she didn't let him say it out loud. Haha, a self-deprecating laugh.

Looking at the apricot-sized red fruit in her palm, she thought, "You're just giving me something this important? Are you just giving it to me because you're worried I'll get hurt? You're just giving me something that's about your life, are you just giving it to me like this? If I give this to a research institute, they'll definitely arrest you and study you. I won't let you get hurt. Woman, you're breaking my heart."

Han Lie turned around and touched the center of his eyebrows where the girl's cold fingers had just brushed against him. Suddenly, he felt a white light surrounding the crystal core. This was... the warmth that had just come into his head when Shangguan Wan had touched his eyebrows with her finger: Is this what you did too?

Are you a deity descended from heaven? Why do you possess such a rare and wonderful thing? Then, who did you come to this world for? And why do you protect me time and time again? For me? Or for the world?

The more Han Lie thought about it, the more he felt that he was not worthy of the girl, because he defined her as a fairy, and how could he, a mortal, blaspheme her.
