Chapter 162 I Am You

Wen Yu had never experienced such things before. At this moment, the corners of her eyes turned red and she clutched the bed sheet under her even tighter.

Shen Yu's wet hair fell down in front of his forehead. He stared at Wen Yu closely, feeling their body temperatures which seemed different but were actually exactly the same.

Shen Yu knew all the sensitive and vulnerable areas on his body - and could easily control them.

"Wen Yu, take off the mask." Shen Yu pressed Wen Yu's body tightly, covered the half of the golden mask with his palm, and whispered, "Let me look at you."

Wen Yu's eyes were moist, and his fingertips curled up when he heard that, which made Shen Yu's expression change slightly.

"Okay, you can watch it if you want." Wen Yu's eyes were filled with emotions. He stared at Shen Yu for a moment, then reached out and took off the mask on his face.

It's so heavy that it's a burden to wear.

After taking it off, Wen Yu deliberately turned his face away. He kept an eye on Shen Yu's expression, as if he wanted to see some different emotions on Shen Yu's face.

Most people who saw this half of his face were shocked and frightened. Wen Yu still remembered Shen Yu's expression when he first saw his whole face, which was also one of surprise.

Now that he has seen Wen Yu's full appearance again, I wonder what he will feel.

Shen Yu sighed. He seemed to know what Wen Yu was thinking. He held his palm and slowly covered half of Wen Yu's cheek, trying to soothe the wounds and injustice with warmth.

"My queen, look at me." Shen Yu kissed his scar. He leaned against Wen Yu and crooked his eyes when Wen Yu turned to look at him. "You are so beautiful."

Wen Yu's pupils trembled. Shen Yu looked almost exactly like him, but he was a little colder and harder than him for no reason. His skin was pressed tightly against Wen Yu's, and he shared his warmth.

"I will tell lies."

Wen Yu bit Shen Yu's earlobe, and the sourness in his heart surged, mixed with the gentleness hidden within, and finally there were signs of relief.

But he still likes to listen.

"My queen, what I said is true. No one is prettier than you." Shen Yu said softly, "You are the best."

There was a rare tenderness in Wen Yu's eyes. He curled up his toes and hugged Shen Yu's body even tighter.

Shen Yu lowered his eyes and looked at Wen Yu. This person who was almost exactly like him, this person who suffered the same hardships as him, this person... who was called himself.

And he will love you.

Shen Yu and Wen Yu's lips and teeth were entangled, their tongues tangled together, equally without any rules, and finally the kiss left a bloody taste in their mouths.

The corners of Wen Yu's eyes turned red. He sensed that Shen Yu was becoming increasingly out of control, so he turned his cheek to the side so that Shen Yu could slowly stroke the unevenness on the right half of his face with his palm.

How pathetic does a person have to be to admit that he is the only one in the world who loves himself deeply.

Shen Yu once hated the past. He was ignorant, stupid, and didn't know people well, so he trusted Xuan Lin easily, which led to his ultimate failure and his own irreparable fate.

How could he accept Wen Yu? Wen Yu's present was the most unbearable past for him.

But when Shen Yu looks back at his past self now, he still feels helpless and sad.

The seven years he struggled hard in Kunning Palace, the seven years he was isolated and helpless, were also the seven years when he was most distorted.

He watched himself sink into the mud, but kept climbing up; he saw himself fall into hell, but kept climbing up with his bare hands. He failed again and again, and started over again and again, with wounds all over his face, but he still kept moving forward.

It turns out...he once lived so hard.

Shen Yu frowned, he hugged Wen Yu, finally hugging himself sincerely after so many years.

Wen Yu...how could I bear to make you sad.

You are me—you are the weathered and tortured version of myself who has suffered all those years.

How can I give up on you?

Even if the world doesn't love you, I will always love you
