He gave Xiao Xin painkillers.
Seeing the fear in Xiao Xin's eyes, Fu Yan kissed his earlobe and whispered to comfort him, "Don't worry, it's not that thing from yesterday."
Fu Yan turned off the water, and the sound of the water stopped abruptly; all that could be heard was the sound of shallow breathing.
Xiao Xin's heartbeat followed the rhythm of Fu Yan's breathing, sometimes fast, sometimes slow.
The pain throughout his body nearly drove him to drown.
Even though it hurt terribly, Xiao Xin gritted his teeth and kept silent.
Seeing that he was enduring the sweat beading on his forehead, Fu Yan made his torture even more brutal.
Xiao Xin's heart was pounding in his chest, but his remaining willpower prevented him from speaking; it was the last vestige of his dignity.
But Fu Yan ruthlessly humiliated his self-esteem, and even when he was numb with pain, he had no intention of stopping.
Xiao Xin lowered her eyes, observing Fu Yan's face for the first time while fully conscious.
He clearly saw possessiveness, obsession, willfulness, arrogance, and endless desire in Fu Yan's eyes as he looked down at him.
Xiao Xin's eyelashes trembled, and she squeezed out two words through her teeth: "Self... selfish..."
Fu Yan: "What?"
Xiao Xin stared at him blankly, her eyelashes damp with tears: "Fu Yan, why... are you so selfish?"
Fu Yan abruptly stopped, his sharp features shrouded in shadow, making it impossible to discern his emotions.
He curled his lips slightly and sneered, "Selfish?"
Is he selfish?
After careful consideration, Fu Yan realized that he was indeed selfish. For Xiao Xin, he disregarded the Fu family and was willing to abandon everything to spend the rest of his life with her.
"Yes, I am selfish, but I did all of this for you."
Fu Yan's voice was hoarse, tainted with desire: "It's all for you, Xiao Xin..."
"..." Xiao Xin remained silent, staring blankly at Fu Yan, his throat feeling like it was stuffed with cotton, unable to utter a single word for a long time.
Right? It's all because of him, so all of this started because of him.
He shouldn't have provoked Fu Yan in the first place...
Xiao Xin looked pained, her eyes unfocused and confused.
Fu Yan noticed Xiao Xin's absent-mindedness and felt somewhat dissatisfied.
How bad must he be to make Xiao Xin lose focus even when he's being pressured?
He bit down hard on Xiao Xin's collarbone in a fit of rage, leaving a mark: "You said you'd abandon me, but you abandoned me without even considering my feelings?"
So who is the selfish one?
"Ugh..." Fu Yan bit down hard, and Xiao Xin's heart trembled with pain. She couldn't help but sob.
That damn dog, he really had the heart to bite him.
Xiao Xin cursed inwardly, and his mind cleared up for a moment.
After thinking about Fu Yan's words, he realized that he was indeed selfish.
Xiao Xin met Fu Yan's gaze again, forcing a smile: "You say it's for me, but have you considered my feelings?"
Fu Yan was taken aback and fell silent.
Xiao Xin said again, "Fu Yan, we shouldn't be like this."
They shouldn't have become so confrontational, determined to fight to the death.
Fu Yan's lips were tightly pursed, and he stared into Xiao Xin's eyes for a long time, his reflection filling those light brown pupils.
At that moment, he suddenly felt that living like this for the rest of his life wouldn't be so bad.
As he thought about it, he pinched Xiao Xin's chin and leaned closer to those eyes that were filled with his own: "It's okay, brother, you just need to keep looking at me like this."
As long as Xiao Xin's eyes are only on him, he doesn't care about anything else.
Even if Xiao Xin hates him, it doesn't matter...
…………
Xiao Xin didn't know when he fainted. In his dazed state, someone grabbed his hand and a cold needle pierced his vein.
Fu Yan sat cross-legged on the edge of the bed, watching the doctor give Xiao Xin an IV drip with a deep expression.
The doctor was borrowed from Feng Lu by Fu Yan; he was the private doctor who examined Xiao Xin last time.
Looking at Xiao Xin's miserable state, the doctor shook his head helplessly. Just as he was about to say something, Fu Yan spoke first: "This matter must not be known to any unrelated people."
"Yes, Mr. Fu..."
It had been more than a month since they last met, and the doctor still felt a little awkward about Fu Yan's change of identity.
He glanced at the IV drip that had been set up and said to Fu Yan, "The patient is a bit weak and needs to rest. If possible, it would be best to take him to the hospital for a check-up. It's best not to..."
Fu Yan glanced at him expressionlessly: "If there's nothing else, you can leave."
The doctor nodded and didn't say anything more. He packed his things and prepared to leave.
Xiao Xin fainted at 5 a.m., and the doctor left at 8 a.m.
Fu Yan stayed by Xiao Xin's side for as long as Xiao Xin was unconscious.
During this time, the servants brought meals, but Fu Yan only ate a few bites before losing his appetite.
Xiao Xin lay quietly on the bed, breathing shallowly. Fu Yan would touch the side of his neck from time to time to feel his throbbing arteries and confirm that he was still alive.
Xiao Xin did not show any signs of waking up until 6 p.m.
He slowly opened his eyes and met a pair of empty, dark eyes beside the bed.
Xiao Xin was startled, and her hands instinctively gripped the bed sheet tightly, a primal reaction of her body to something she feared.
The evening glow streamed in through the window. Fu Yan sat on the edge of the bed, backlit, his face completely in shadow. Seeing Xiao Xin wake up, he smiled and said, "Awake?"
Xiao Xin gripped the bed sheet tightly, her palms sweating.
Now, seeing Fu Yan only evokes fear and a desire to escape.
He knew his love for Fu Yan would fade away, but he didn't expect it to happen so quickly...
Even though she had a thousand words in her heart, looking at Fu Yan's face, Xiao Xin opened her lips, but in the end, she kept them closed.
Fu Yan noticed that he didn't speak or look at her.
