Chapter 78 Return the Knife



Cen Ji frowned and opened his mouth to speak but hesitated.

The little ghost didn't say anything, which gave him the answer.

But he didn't believe it, he didn't accept such an answer.

Since she was unwilling to give him a satisfactory answer, he would go find her himself.

"You said I have a scar on my chest. Do you remember where it is exactly?" Cen Ji lowered his head and changed the subject, looking at Yan Ying with watery eyes.

Yan Ying didn't understand what he meant.

What's wrong with Cen Ji that he suddenly asks this?

Cen Ji looked at Yan Ying with a puzzled look on his face, smiled, untied his waist belt, threw it on the ground, and then untied the laces of his outer shirt.

"What are you doing!" Yan Ying hurriedly held down Cen Ji's hand that was untying his belt.

This... Is he going to act like a hooligan on this dark and windy night?

"Since you said you saw me injured, you should remember where the scar is..." Cen Ji said seriously. "It's not like you haven't seen my body before. This isn't the first time. Why are you shy?"

When Yan Ying heard Cen Ji's words, she felt her cheeks burning.

She hadn't intended to see him that time when she used the Thousand Mile Talisman to teleport to the wrong place. Besides, he was very secretive that day, so she was thrown out of the room without seeing anything clearly.

She said that she saw him for the first time...

"You...I don't want to see." Yan Ying turned her back with her ears red.

Cen Ji chuckled and continued his movements, neatly unbuttoning his clothes and exposing his chest.

Seeing that Yan Ying refused to turn around, Cen Ji had no choice but to walk around in front of her.

Yan Ying saw Cen Ji walking towards her with his clothes open. She wanted to turn around and leave, but Cen Ji reached out and grabbed her with such strength that he almost pulled her into his arms.

Woo woo, you stinky hooligan.

Cen Ji's chest was strong, with a thin layer of muscle, and he was not as thin as he looked when he was wearing clothes.

"Do you remember which scar the bamboo stick left?"

Yan Ying looked at Cen Ji's exposed chest. His chest was covered with scars of varying sizes. Some of the scars healed well, leaving only shallow marks. Some of the wounds were not treated in time, so they did not heal well and were dark red in color.

Yan Ying looked at the scars of varying sizes on Cen Ji's chest and her expression paused.

When Cen Ji just asked her where the scar left by the bamboo stick was, she thought that even if Cen Ji grew up, the scar would still be there and she would be able to find it at a glance.

But she didn't expect that the scars were indeed there, but there were too many of them, so many that she couldn't tell which one was which.

Even a fatal place like the chest has so many old wounds, not to mention how many scars there are on other parts of his body.

How much suffering did he endure to survive to this day...

Cen Ji looked at Yan Ying and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Her eyes don't lie.

She cares about him.

"You don't remember, right? You haven't seen the me of the past with your own eyes."

Cen Ji curled the corners of his mouth and looked at Yan Ying with a smile on his face.

She was indeed coaxing him that day.

But it doesn't matter, she will just accompany him from now on.

The dagger on Yan Ying's waist fell into Cen Ji's hands at some point. He quickly turned around and stabbed the dagger into his chest.

It was not until blood dripped onto the ground that Yan Ying realized what Cen Ji had done.

Yan Ying looked at Cen Ji in horror. "Are you crazy?!"

"What do you want to do? Stop it!"

"This dagger is indeed sharp." Cen Ji looked at the blade that was halfway into his chest without changing his expression.

This dagger was the one that the little ghost had stabbed into her leg.

At that time, the little ghost begged him to believe her. It was she who said that he would believe her if she broke one leg. He didn't expect that she would actually stab herself.

It was that knife that made his heart waver.

At that time, he didn't know that she was not Yan Ying, and he caused her to be injured, so now he has to return her to her. He can't humiliate her in vain.

Yan Ying looked at Cen Ji as if he were a madman, looking at his chest where blood was gushing out.

Yan Ying raised her hand and released her spiritual power to help Cen Ji stop the bleeding and heal his wounds. She was so flustered that her eyes turned red with anger. Cen Ji was really a madman! A complete madman!

Cen Ji looked at Yan Ying's anxious expression, and the smile on his lips deepened.

She cared about him, she didn't lie to him, she still liked him.

"Back then, I mistook you for someone else and got stabbed. I'll return the knife to you as an apology." Cen Ji said with a smile in a soft voice.

His face was as pale as paper, his lips were bloodless, but his smile was deep, making him look like a madman.

"You weren't with me all those years ago, so you didn't understand me. That's why you wronged me today. But it doesn't matter. From now on... I will always be by your side and let you remember everything about me."

"You must remember this scar. It's for you."

Cen Ji wiped his bloody hands on his body and held Yan Ying's small hand.

Yan Ying let Cen Ji pull her and was so angry that she couldn't speak.

She already knew that what happened today was a misunderstanding, but Cen Ji still wanted to hurt herself.

"Who said you have to pay it back? Are you sick?" Yan Ying was so angry that she wanted to beat Cen Ji to death. Why did this man not care about his own life?

Even though she was stabbed, she had a system and she could recover after a good sleep. She didn't take it seriously at first.

Although Cen Ji's injury did not hit any vital parts, the wound was very deep and he didn't know how long it would take to heal.

"madman!"

Yan Ying said this while still using her spiritual power to heal Cen Ji.

She was really afraid that he would die here. If Cen Ji died, her mission would fail and she would die. She didn't care about Cen Ji, she just didn't want him to die and implicate her.
