☆, Struggling, Starting Anew
Ye Xi leaned against the car door with a bitter expression, gazing resentfully out the window. The burning pain on her lips clearly told her, having just woken from a state of oxygen deprivation and unconsciousness, that what had just happened was not a dream. Since arriving here, nothing had ever so thoroughly shattered her worldview as it had just been. Ha! Even if a Black Cat Detective suddenly appeared and arrested Shuke and Betan, she could accept it…
...I still can't accept it...Damn it, what is she thinking?! It's all that bastard Wesker's fault...he actually...made her start to doubt the reality of this world! Recalling that scene, Ye Xi couldn't help but burst into tears. After bursting into tears, she was surprised to find her so-called long-lost morals—now that she thought about it, she felt embarrassed and ashamed!
Damn it, if you want to kiss, kiss! If you want to French kiss, French kiss! If you want to bite, bite! I'm not afraid of you! ...Wait, why did you bite me? Now my mouth hurts so much! Wait, that's not the point. The point is, why am I so useless? I fainted! Ye Xi looked at her two hands, handcuffed to the handle above the car door, and thought, "Well, now I'm locked up again. Where did this damn guy get these handcuffs from?!"
Can you understand the agonizing feeling Ye Xi is experiencing right now, like she's cursing an alpaca? It's even more painful than getting beaten by the same boss ten times in an online game. But in real life, when Ye Xi first started playing online games like the Resident Evil series, her fingers weren't very nimble, and she did get beaten by a certain [you know what I mean, anyway, Ye Xi would never admit it now] big boss a dozen times over! (picking nose)
Well, I've gone off on a tangent.
Ye Xi stole a glance at Wesker, who hadn't uttered a word since she woke up in the car in such a disheveled state. Looking at his sharply defined profile, she immediately turned her face away in a huff, turning her back to him. Honestly, what did he want? Was he playing with her? Although that scene had indeed unsettled Ye Xi, she wasn't so confused as to think Wesker was interested in her. That was Wesker, a ruthless man by nature. Everything he did was purposeful, all for his own benefit. How could he possibly let anyone else catch his eye…
As she thought about it, Ye Xi's eyes dimmed, and a pang of sadness welled up in her heart. This unfamiliar feeling startled her, and she immediately shook her head—Oh no, Ye Xi, where did this feeling of being a discarded wife come from? Get back here, get back here! Sure enough, Wesker gave you something unclean in Central Park and you got food poisoning!
Ye Xi gritted her teeth and moved her slightly sore arms. When she woke up, all her injuries had healed, and her strength had recovered somewhat. Although she was still far from her previous level, she could still fight for ten or twenty minutes without any problem. Tsk, does this bastard also habitually carry the T-virus with him? Ye Xi raised an eyebrow, then fell back into a chaotic reverie, skillfully avoiding any extensions of the image that had previously brought her back to her senses.
Wesker now genuinely didn't understand how he felt about Ye Xi, his experimental subject. He admitted this, and admitted he didn't know. But whether he understood or not was irrelevant to him; Ye Xi was his personal property, and how he treated her was his prerogative.
However, this doesn't apply to others, and they will have to bear the consequences themselves.
What humans call "kissing" was indeed unexpected for him. Wesker used to be frighteningly rational, but just now, he had been overcome by impulse. Wesker didn't have this concept in his mind, and Ye Xi herself certainly didn't notice how alluring the bloodstains on her lips looked. Her originally pure and gentle appearance was suddenly stained with the bewitching allure of blood. What was deadly was her hazy and bewildered eyes. It would be difficult for an ordinary person to resist, let alone Wesker, who had an extreme possessiveness towards her.
"You taste even better..." Looking at Ye Xi, who had fainted in his arms, Wesker licked the blood from her lips, his alluring red eyes growing even brighter. However, her injuries were more troublesome. Wesker raised an eyebrow, looking at his hand around Ye Xi's waist, now stained with her blood. Had he gone a little too far?
↑Someone actually realized they went too far...Daughter, you can leave this world perfectly for this reason!
↑ (Easy face) If you miss, you'll find yourself pierced through the chest by someone's claw in 0.0254 seconds.
Ahem, please ignore the brain-dead Dust that's already been instantly defeated, and get back to the main point. The question of whether Wesker had gone too far was just a fleeting thought in his mind before he completely forgot about it. There was no question of whether he had gone too far. According to the simplified explanation given by Dust, who miraculously recovered and, with his brain-dead arrogance, misinterpreted Wesker's original meaning, it should be—"How could my test subject be so fragile?"
While this isn't exactly a nonsensical story, this explanation is pretty close to the truth. As for how to obtain the T-virus to supplement Ye Xi's nutrition, it's simple. Since the plan has been disrupted, it's best to overturn it entirely. There's only one Ye Xi as a test subject in the world. Until the desired effect is fully achieved, Wesker will at least continue to raise her. However, once the experiment is successful, this test subject he has carefully nurtured will be rendered useless for research and disposed of as waste…
You won't be looking forward to that day, Ye Xi. Wesker gave Ye Xi a deep look, and in his deep, blood-red eyes, besides coldness and indifference, there was a hint of emotion he didn't notice. He casually cut his wrist, brought it to Ye Xi's lips before the wound healed, and then hoisted her onto his shoulder, just like when he escaped from the hospital.
Deep down, Wesker probably didn't even look forward to that day, but his ambition and desire were so strong that he didn't even realize it. Even if he did realize it, he would ignore it as something unnecessary—that's just Wesker.
But some things, the more you try to ignore them, the more you can't ignore them, and the deeper you sink into them. Once they take root in some corner of your heart, they spread like cancer cells until they take over your entire heart, and you can never get rid of them—not even death can remove them.
Ye Xi is like this, and Wesker may also be like this.
The scenery outside the car window kept changing. Ye Xi didn't know where Wesker was taking her, but it was highly likely to be to some Umbrella base. She gently tugged at the handcuffs and saw the umbrella-shaped symbol engraved on them. She secretly scoffed; she didn't even need to do anything to know that these handcuffs were of the highest quality – definitely a must-have for any traveler. Ye Xi wanted to escape, but reality was too cruel, and in the relatively cramped space of the SUV, she couldn't use her abilities under Wesker's nose. So she had to find a way to get out of the car…
So Ye Xi came up with a "familiar" excuse, and with a cold face, staring straight ahead, she awkwardly said, "Hey, you, stop the car, I need to take care of my metabolism."
Wesker seemed not to hear and continued driving.
Feeling uncertain, Ye Xi immediately raised her voice, trying to increase the credibility of her previous statement, and angrily shouted, "Hey, stop the car and unlock the handcuffs!"
Perhaps Ye Xi's commanding tone was too obvious, because Wesker glanced at her indifferently. That one glance almost made Ye Xi lose her composure, but Ye Xi immediately straightened her chest and glared at him fiercely. After staring at each other for a while, Wesker coldly said, "I'm not called 'Hey'."
Ye Xi's lips twitched inwardly. "Hey, what do you mean by calling me that? What does it have to do with me getting off the bus, you jerk?" Despite her internal grumbling, Ye Xi reluctantly changed her words, her voice as cloying as possible: "Dear Mr. Albert Wesker, could you please stop the car?"
“No.” Wesker looked away and refused directly.
...Damn, after all that trouble, you still rejected me? You're just messing with me! If her life weren't still in Wesker's hands, Ye Xi would have kicked him. She took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and then slowly and shamelessly asked, "Why? Do you want me to wet my pants?"
"If you're foolish enough to try and prove your ridiculous lie this way, go ahead." Wesker sneered, glancing disdainfully at Ye Xi out of the corner of his eye. That chilling gaze made Ye Xi shudder, immediately abandoning her attempt to find an excuse to get off the bus. Did she really look that untrustworthy? Ye Xi pouted in annoyance, shrinking further into her seat, trying to get as far away from that jerk as possible, before thinking of a solution.
Tsk, in the end, Ye Xi still didn't really understand Wesker. Aside from using the O virus and T virus within her to create a superior and more powerful virus, Ye Xi had little idea what else Wesker wanted from her. She didn't know how he found her, or why he was lying half-dead, severely injured, on a rainy street with a different face, right where she had been. She also didn't know why Wesker had brought her to that government base. Was she just a decoy? To attract the government's attention and then make him act? Okay, if that was the case, what was in that base that would make someone of Wesker's status go to such lengths to get inside? And then there was that kiss…
Wait a minute, why did I think of that again?! The little figure in Ye Xi's mind immediately flipped the table.
"Gurgle—" A strange sound broke the tense atmosphere in the car. Ye Xi froze, mechanically turned her head, and saw Wesker's eerie blood-red eyes staring at her. She immediately blinked and smiled brightly to show her innocence: "This is not something I can control, it's just a physical reaction."
Wesker was silent for a moment, then turned the steering wheel and pulled the car over to the side of the road. Under Ye Xi's expectant gaze, he opened the car door and got out. Not knowing what he was going to do, Ye Xi turned around as much as she could and saw through the rear window that he took out a basket, then walked back, closed the door, and placed the basket on Ye Xi's lap. Ye Xi looked down and saw that the basket was full of food, and it seemed to be from the puppet supermarket above the government base. She then noticed that this car seemed to be the same one they had driven before.
But... what's with putting a basket of food on my lap and not unlocking my handcuffs?! This is torture! Just as Ye Xi was feeling resentful, a figure approached her, hooked the handcuffs together with its index finger, and with a forceful pull, the handcuffs, which Ye Xi remembered as being of excellent quality, just... snapped in two!
This is too much of a blow. Ye Xi stared blankly at her hands, which had been so easily freed, her wrists already red from being rubbed by the handcuffs. Speaking of which, if the handcuffs broke, how would he still restrain her? Forget it, why think about such useless things? It's better without the handcuffs; at least escaping will be easier. Besides, she didn't believe that Wesker wouldn't have other ways to restrain her without the handcuffs.
Thinking this, Ye Xi secretly glanced at the person, then her eye twitched—wait, did you also pick up those sunglasses that suddenly appeared from that supermarket before? They're exactly the same as the old ones…you're such a devoted sunglasses addict, you should at least get a different style! Did you miss your sunglasses and that's why you stopped to get them and gave her a basket of food along the way? You made her all excited for nothing!
Ye Xi inwardly scoffed, wisely focusing her attention on the basket. Aside from canned goods, it was all snacks. What made Ye Xi facepalm was that there were all sorts of bizarre canned goods, except for caviar… “Wesker, just how deep is your obsession with caviar? Didn’t you really like the taste, which is why you tried to take it from me when you were pretending to be An Er? Were you afraid I’d eat it, so you secretly hid it… No, this is too outrageous!” Ye Xi was utterly dumbfounded by her own thoughts.
Author's Note: An extremely bland, slightly sarcastic (?) and slightly chaotic (?) chapter transition is over, and Ye Xi is going to have another hard time again. Poor girl (wiping tears with a handkerchief) ↑ Enough, you're being too fake! Also, Telecom, you've gone too far!
