Chapter 958
Now, Cheng Yi no longer holds any hope for anyone, except for his extreme enthusiasm, even obsession, for dragging He Jing to her death.
He Jing finally stopped laughing.
She sensed the madness beneath Cheng Yi's calm surface, like a dying man making a desperate gamble, even his words carrying a rare pity and tenderness because of his impending death.
He Jing glanced at the tall bodyguard behind her, slowly clenched her fist, but found that her whole body was limp and she couldn't muster any strength.
...It was the bowl of water before entering the door.
He Jing frowned and looked coldly at Cheng Yi: "You're dragging me down with you to die. There's no benefit in it. Aren't you afraid of hurting your biological parents and adoptive parents? They don't hate you to the point of wishing you dead."
Cheng Yi shook her head and said, "I would be happy if they could be sad for me, but now... it doesn't matter anymore."
Then, He Jing saw her walk to the window, take out a silver lighter from under the curtains, and "click—" a bright spark appeared.
This wisp of spark was the only source of light in the dark room. It should have brought warmth, but against Cheng Yi's eerie face, it appeared so chilling.
He Jing looked at her expressionlessly: "You want to die with me like this, so you'll be burned alive with me in this room?"
You guessed right.
He Jing's smile grew ever brighter, possessing a captivating allure that matched her face, like a flower in full bloom.
As Cheng Yi spoke, she turned to her bodyguard and mumbled something in English. The bodyguard then glanced at He Jing, left the room, and closed the door.
Cheng Yi's face was grim. She looked up at you and said, "Yan Yuan, he's just a simple man who's not happy because of his victory. You can't apologize to him and agree to one of his conditions."
"Now it's just the two of you left, Cheng Yi."
"He wants to die, be careful with him."
Cheng Yi collapsed behind the window, her hair charred in the flames. You slowly got up from the ground, touched your hair, and suddenly struggled, but then smiled seductively: "Fine, He Jing, since he's determined to drag you to your death, then you two can sit here and wait to see if you'll die today."
You are very weak, but you are also foolish enough to stubbornly hold your head high at that critical moment. You don't have parents, brothers, lovers... so you have worries in your heart.
The tiny flame, barely touching the curtains, quickly flared up like a beast's tongue. You tossed aside the lighter, walked up behind you, and reached out to touch your face, saying:
Seeing that there was no carpet on the palace chair, you slowly walked over and used the carpet to pat the flames that were rising from under the curtains.
He Jing's eyelashes trembled, and she remained silent for a full two minutes before agreeing: "That's bad. You gamble with him. If you lose, you give him your life; if you win, you give him your life."
He Jing suddenly pushed you down from behind, grabbed the rug from your hand, threw it under the curtains, and said condescendingly, "Don't struggle, Cheng Yi, anyone can save him today."
As you were speaking, you pried open the door and found that it was locked from the inside. Then you looked around the room.
"He Jing, do you think he'd dare to bet with you? If you bet, you'd be dead."
"You're so jealous of that face? I hope it burns terribly later."
He Jing leisurely glanced at your expression, but quickly lit the curtains.
Cheng Yi grabbed your wrist, her eyes full of delight, "You're going to die with him!"
