Wen Shengyao, heartbroken, quickly stopped her actions.
What are you doing?
He thought she was demeaning herself.
Bai Ning smiled and said, "I'll tell you why."
This was the first time Wen Shengyao had seen Bai Ning smile. She was beautiful, but there was a sense of desolation in her smile.
Wen Shengyao stopped moving.
Bai Ning pulled off her white shirt, revealing a tank top underneath, and showed her back to Wen Shengyao.
Wen Shengyao's pupils contracted, and his eyes became misty.
Bai Ning's back was covered in various scars: whip marks, gunshot wounds, knife wounds, and even a scar that ran from his neck down into his pants.
Wen Shengyao's eyes were red and swollen. "Who did this? Tell me, and I'll kill him."
In contrast to Wen Shengyao's fury, Bai Ning remained calm and composed.
"I could remember their faces the first and second time, but later I couldn't remember them because there were too many people."
Wen Shengyao felt a sharp pain in his heart.
He thought Bai Ning was just a bit cold-hearted, but he never imagined that she had suffered inhuman experiences.
"Wen Shengyao, do you think everyone likes the sea?"
This was the first time Bai Ning had called Wen Shengyao by his name.
But Wen Shengyao was not happy at all; on the contrary, he was very flustered.
Bai Ning said, "What I hate most is the ocean."
“Wangnu Island is surrounded by the sea. The place where I was imprisoned had a view of the boundless blue sea from the window.”
“If I disobeyed, they would throw me into the sea in a boat. If I swam back, they would lock me up again. If I couldn’t swim back, I would drown in the deep sea. Each time they threw me further and further, it required more and more physical strength.”
"Stop talking, stop talking." Wen Shengyao was already in tears.
These things seem cruel even when viewed on television; he couldn't imagine what Bai Ning had gone through.
He pulled her into his arms and vowed, "I will protect you from now on, the Wen family will bless you, my mother is a good person, when we return to Lucheng, I will take you to see her, okay?"
Bai Ning's thoughts drifted away, and she remembered the gentle Aunt Wen from her memories; she was indeed a very kind person.
She certainly wouldn't stop her from dating Wen Shengyao just because she's Bai Ning.
But Bai Ning now only has one thought in his mind: to find out the truth of what happened back then and then take revenge.
To avenge himself and his deceased parents.
Wen Shengyao's embrace was warm, unlike any other embrace she had ever had before.
She liked it very much, but she couldn't like it.
"I hate physical contact with men the most."
Wen Shengyao froze and immediately released her.
He apologized hastily, "I'm sorry, Bai Ning."
Bai Ning stood up, brushed the sand off his pants, and said, "Go back by yourself."
Wen Shengyao also stood up quickly, but remembering what she had just said, he dared not approach her.
He asked between sobs, "Then what are you going to do?"
"My affairs are none of your business."
Wen Shengyao refused. He ran up to her, handed her the keys, and said, "Take my car back, or I'll keep bothering you."
The noble young master was rejected after his first confession of love, and he cried with tears streaming down his face.
But being kind-hearted, he felt more sorry for the experiences of the people he loved.
To avoid trouble, Bai Ning took the car keys.
Then he drove away without looking back.
Bai Ning opened the car window, letting the sea breeze blow in.
The first time she didn't dislike the sea was because her childhood playmate and the person in her heart lived by the sea.
...
Wen Shengyao had already informed Lin Yusheng of his thoughts.
Lin Yusheng's original words were, "If you confess now, there's a 99% chance Bai Ning won't accept you, but I think you still have a chance if you keep pursuing her."
So when Lin Yusheng called Wen Shengyao and heard him crying his heart out, she knew things weren't that simple.
Wen Shengyao is not someone who gives up easily.
He was crying so hard because Bai Ning had said something that made him feel like he had no hope left.
Lin Yusheng asked for his location and then had the driver pick him up.
She calculated the time and figured Bai Ning would be back around that time, so she opened the door.
Sure enough, the elevator doors opened and Bai Ning stepped out, her calm face still revealing no emotion.
Lin Yusheng called out to her, "Bai Ning, I made red date and goji berry milk, come and have some with me."
"Need not."
"I specially cooked a portion for you, it would be a waste if you didn't drink it," Lin Yusheng said regretfully.
Bai Ning eventually went inside.
Lin Yusheng pretended to know nothing.
After closing the door, she served Bai Ning a bowl of soup.
Bai Ning ate quietly.
Lin Yusheng casually asked, "Did you have fun?"
"fine."
...
After finishing his drink, Bai Ning was about to leave.
Lin Yusheng called out to her.
She took a silver bracelet out of her cabinet and said, "Bai Ning, this is for you."
"I don't want to."
"Don't refuse. They all have this technique. I consider you a friend, so I wanted to give it to you."
Lin Yusheng sat down next to her, then took her hand and started to put the gloves on her.
Bai Ning hesitated for a long time, but still did not refuse.
Lin Yusheng said, "No matter what you have been through in the past, people always have to look forward. I hope that you can move forward without any worries and follow your heart in the future."
Bai Ning gave Lin Yusheng a deep look, but ultimately said nothing.
Bai Ning left, and the moment the door closed, Lin Yusheng sighed.
According to Lu Zhengye, it is difficult for men to survive on the Island of the Dead Slave, let alone women.
*
One day, Lin Yusheng was filming an action scene.
Her opponent wasn't in good form, and it took three hours to finish filming. The wires left marks around her waist.
He even fell off his horse during the day.
This was the first time Lin Yusheng had such a bad day; her whole body ached when she got off work.
As she walked back to the hotel, her nose felt a little sore.
When I opened my phone, I saw Lu Zhengye's financial news push notification.
Overwhelmed by longing, Lin Yusheng opened the news and stared at Lu Zhengye's photo for a long time.
Bai Ning could sense her emotions, but she couldn't speak and didn't know how to comfort her.
She thought, "If only Pei Shushu were here."
Just then, Lin Yusheng's phone rang.
The caller was Lu Zhengye.
She was very happy and answered the call immediately after composing herself.
"Hello."
"What are you doing?"
The moment Lu Zhengye's voice came, Lin Yusheng almost lost her composure.
She sat on a bench in the corridor of Hengdian, rubbing her sore ankle, and said with a smile, "I just finished filming and got off work."
Are you tired?
Lin Yusheng choked up a little, but still said, "I'm not tired."
"Did you miss me?"
Lin Yusheng finally couldn't hold back anymore.
She, who has never liked watching the news since childhood, has recently been keeping up with every financial news story. She admits that she really misses him.
She didn't know when it started, but she had become so dependent on him.
