The action seemed to involve something, and Xie Yun frowned slightly.
An Meng noticed that his expression was abnormal, but she didn't say anything. She just got on the bed and lay on the other side.
The lights went out.
I don’t know how much time passed, An Meng turned over and suddenly wanted to say something.
"Xie Yun, Xie Yun, are you asleep?"
“…”
[No way, falling asleep so quickly? ]
Xie Yun opened his eyes helplessly: "What's wrong?"
"Well," An Meng carefully probed, "Didn't the Lin Yiyi you met last time say..."
The room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
After a long silence, Xie Yun suddenly said, "Should I have any special feelings for her?"
"I'm just asking."
Xie Yun stopped talking.
An Meng was slightly surprised and began to stare at the dark air in a daze.
According to the original plot, Lin Yiyi said that she was the one who gave Xie Yun the food, so Xie Yun should be very grateful.
【And now, why is he reacting so coldly? 】
Xie Yun was speechless, but decided to say something: "We're just strangers we met once, how could there be any special feelings?"
An Meng was stunned and turned her head to look at his blurry profile.
[Is this a deviation from the plot? ]
[Then...what if that little maid from back then really appeared before you?]
“…” Xie Yun closed his eyes helplessly, then opened them again, feeling inexplicably blocked in his heart.
"Even if someone helped me many years ago," his voice was particularly clear in the dark silence, "it doesn't mean that I should have the same feelings towards this person as you do."
He exhaled deeply and slowly, and then said slowly: "Even if the fate of everyone in this world has already been determined——"
"Forget it." He stopped mid-sentence and said, "Let's go to sleep."
Xie Yun was exhausted. After all, the fact that he was just a cannon fodder in the novel was really depressing.
An Meng touched his chin, confused.
Did I just say something wrong? Why is he suddenly angry?
[Could it be because I mentioned Lin Yiyi that Xie Yun seems uninterested in her?]
[Great, does this mean the mission is going well?]
“…”
Listening to An Meng thinking to herself, Xie Yun completely lost sleep and felt dry mouth.
He simply turned over and sat up, wanting to drink some water.
Something was involved in the action, and Xie Yun broke out in sweat on his forehead, and he couldn't help but hiss.
An Meng noticed it keenly, stood up and turned on the light: "What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"
The young woman's distinct black and white eyes showed no sign of sleepiness, and she looked at Xie Yun with a hint of concern.
"Nothing." Xie Yun shook his head and was about to stand up.
An Meng pressed his shoulders to prevent Xie Yun from getting up.
Her tone was very firm: "No, you clearly look uncomfortable somewhere."
[He's the most stubborn person ever! When he came out of the bathroom, I noticed something was wrong with his expression!]
A dull pain radiated from the point where An Meng's palm met his shoulder, and Xie Yun subconsciously frowned.
"It's none of your business." He felt annoyed and raised his arm to brush away An Meng's hand.
Noticing Xie Yun's expression of pain for a moment, An Meng asked, "Are you injured?"
“…”
"It's not serious." Xie Yun finally said helplessly, "I got a little hurt while boxing this afternoon."
As he said this, he wanted to stand up again.
An Meng put her hands on her waist and refused to move: "Can I help you take a look?"
[The mission target is the most valuable, Xie Yun can't make any mistakes! ]
[Since he was injured, why didn't he go to the doctor instead of just enduring it? ]
The two of them stood and sat down. Xie Yun looked up at An Meng with a slightly surprised expression: "You know medicine?"
An Meng shook her head calmly: "I don't understand."
Xie Yun's face was full of doubt: "..."
"Take it off."
Xie Yun shook his head violently.
An Meng looked fierce, ignoring his reluctant expression: "Take it off quickly!"
To those who didn't know the inside story, the two people's posture at this moment was just like a female bully robbing an innocent man - An Meng leaned over and grabbed the collar of Xie Yun's pajamas, while the latter resisted by protecting his clothes with his hands.
An Meng continued: "You don't want me to tell my brother about your injury, right?"
“…” Xie Yun hesitated.
Whether it should be said or not, An Meng's words hit Xie Yun's vital point.
Xie Sixian is now in a state of overflowing brotherly love. If he becomes cheesy again, Xie Yun will not be able to bear it.
Soon, Xie Yun compromised.
After taking off his shirt, Xie Yun threw himself on the bed with a desperate look. His back felt cold and he suddenly felt like a helpless person.
The moment An Meng saw his bare back, she couldn't help but gasp.
The smoothly muscular back should be very pleasing to the eye, but the large spider-web-like area of black and blue bruises on the left back ruined this beauty.
There were blood spots under the skin around the area, and the entire left back was slightly swollen.
An Meng smacked her lips.
【Was Xie Yun beaten up?】
"This needs ice," An Meng said to Xie Yun, "Wait a moment, I'll get an ice pack."
An Meng quickly took the ice pack upstairs and wrapped it in a towel.
"Don't move, it will be a little cold." After giving the reminder, An Meng put the ice pack on the bruise.
Xie Yun rested his face on his arm, feeling the slight coolness on his back, and the pain was relieved a lot.
An Meng glanced at his silent profile and found it funny, so she teased him, "It seems you will have to sleep in this position tonight."
Xie Yun tilted his head but still said nothing.
"Why didn't you tell me you were injured?" An Meng turned off the light and yawned. "You don't want to get treatment?"
She climbed onto the bed, lying on the other side with her hands behind her head.
"You'll get used to it, it's nothing." Xie Yunjing replied.
An Meng raised her eyebrows, feeling surprised by his answer.
[Just get used to it? Are you a masochist?]
[Speaking of which, in the original novel, after the Xie family went bankrupt, Xie Yun seemed to have fought in an underground boxing ring for a while before ending up on the streets.]
[So, your regular boxing habit has laid the foundation for your future career?]
Xie Yun: “…”
Going to the boxing gym was just a daily habit. Perhaps because of everything An Meng's heart had revealed recently, he felt indescribably depressed.
His punches followed his heart, and he punched harder and harder as if to vent his emotions. His sparring partner couldn't control himself either, so he got injured.
While I was lost in thought, the other person in the room had already fallen asleep.
A hint of bitterness rose from the root of his tongue. Xie Yun remained lying motionless and tilted his head to look in the direction of An Meng.
The gaze was so heavy that it seemed to have substance. An Meng, who was sleeping, seemed to sense something, turned over, and continued to sleep.
