What does it feel like to be rejected bluntly by your crush when you are fully invested in a relationship?
Isaac felt as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over his head, leaving him barely clothed and in a very sorry state.
The thought that Yun Wei was still rational and looking down at him with a superior attitude, while he himself had been so reckless, made Isaac feel extremely ashamed.
Look at yourself now, Isaac, you look like a tomcat seeking pleasure in the night.
It failed.
Isaac couldn't help but despise himself.
His innate sense of honor and shame returned instantly, making him wish he could disappear into a crack in the ground.
"Oh, sorry, I—" he hurriedly mumbled incoherently. He and Yun Wei were so close; if he suddenly let go, wouldn't that make the other person even more embarrassed?
However, his chaos did not last long.
Because Yun Wei cupped his face and slowly pressed his lips to his.
This wasn't a lingering kiss; it was merely a fleeting touch, yet it was frighteningly solemn.
The soft yet hot touch on his lips instantly swept over his entire body. Isaac forgot to breathe; he stared at Yun Wei in astonishment and disbelief, completely frozen in place.
He was being carefully examined by the other person, and so was he.
Her thick eyelashes trembled without wind, and the three small moles on the side of her nose were breathtakingly beautiful.
Yun Wei, really, it's so beautiful.
It looks better the more you look at it; it's very beautiful.
He likes it very much.
The other person smiled gently. "Thinking too much again, Issa. To use Dilis's words, there's something wrong with your eyes."
"I didn't!" Isaac blurted out, but realizing his reaction was too strong, he could only shut his mouth sheepishly. "I just..."
He just couldn't help himself.
"Listen to me, Isaac, let me finish what I have to say." Yun Wei looked away, trying to appear calm.
He dared not look Isaac in the eye again.
Their current posture was far too intimate; if he were to be gazed at so affectionately by the other person any longer, he would literally explode on the spot.
He took a deep breath, lowered his eyes, and said, "The divine essence within you is related to blood, and you have drunk my blood. The reason you have always refused to be with me to the end is because you know that I will be harmed by the power of the laws above, right?"
They forced all sorts of intimate acts on him, yet he didn't suffer any harm. Without even thinking about it, it's obvious who bore the brunt of the backlash alone.
After all, it was a divine entity that recorded the evil "Blood Pact".
No wonder the other person always looked extremely tired the next day; he had only thought the other person was exhausted.
Isaac's bodily functions were clearly normal, but he was always stopped at the last moment, and this must be the reason.
Yun Wei couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
Why is the other person always like this? They say too little and do too much.
He still thought that the other person couldn't accept intimacy between men.
"Hmm," Isaac responded listlessly.
It was only at this moment that he suddenly realized how many times he had rejected Yun Wei.
She had already been greatly affected by being rejected just once, yet Yun Wei had been silently enduring it all along.
In that instant, he suddenly felt even more guilty, "I..."
“You,” Yun Wei interrupted him, having told him to finish speaking first, “don’t always think of me silently. I’m quite insecure, and I always think the worst of things. I can’t change that in a short time.”
He looked into Isaac's eyes again. "If we keep misunderstanding each other like this, even the best relationship will eventually be worn away."
After hearing this, Isaac felt even more depressed.
The phrase "utterly worn away" was far too cruel for him.
A deep sense of dread welled up within him, for he knew that Yun Wei was absolutely serious.
He could only silently hug Yun Wei tightly and whisper, "I'm sorry..."
Yun Wei gently stroked Isaac's head.
The other person's hair was very resilient and extremely thick, and it felt fluffy to the touch, which was incredibly soothing and made him feel like he was addicted and couldn't stop.
He continued, "It's strange, isn't it? I actually had the courage to say such things to you... On the way back, I opened the letter of appointment you sent, and after just one glance, I knew that I had misunderstood before."
"Well, although it sounds like I'm being presumptuous to say this, I think that perhaps you still love me deeply."
"And so am I."
"I love you, Isaac."
This is what he truly wanted to convey to the other party.
Since the other person felt the same way, he had nothing to be ashamed of in admitting it.
From beginning to end, he deeply loved the tall and resolute man in front of him.
It was with this affection that he was able to traverse the silent cosmic rift, overcome the barriers between reality and illusion, and appear here.
Isaac's pupils rapidly contracted and dilated. He stared blankly up at Yun Wei, but seemed to have lost his voice.
He couldn't describe the turmoil in his mind at that moment, where a colossal wave of destruction and creation was surging.
Without a doubt, Yun Wei's reappearance before him must have come through many terrifying challenges beyond his imagination.
But the other party simply mentioned it casually, saying "on the way back," and glossed over it.
This made him feel extremely heavy-hearted, with guilt, remorse, and regret intertwined in his otherwise happy heart.
Yun Wei's love for him was as deep as the sea, but he had no way to repay it.
Thinking about his past actions, Isaac couldn't help but feel ashamed.
He finds it hard to forgive himself for hurting the other person.
He was being passionately confessed to by the person he loved most, yet he was on the verge of tears.
This unfamiliar feeling left him utterly bewildered, so bewildered that he didn't know what to do.
For a member of the Temu Browne family, tears are worthless; they are a label associated with the weak.
“What you should be shedding is blood and sweat,” Catherine the Great instructed him.
Even if he's beaten to the point of vomiting blood, he should swallow the blood and fight until he takes back everything he has.
Isaac never imagined that one day his eyes would uncontrollably redden, and strange, sore tears would gather in his eye sockets, about to burst forth.
But clearly, Yun Wei was even more flustered than him.
Being silently gazed at by his beloved, who was so close yet so close, with red eyes, he felt like he was going crazy.
He damn well thought that Isaac looked even cooler this way.
He was indeed beyond saving.
“Um, Isa…” His thumb gently stroked the knight’s rugged cheek. The other’s skin was cold, yet it burned his heart. “I’m really bad with words. I can’t say anything more sweet than this.”
"But you just wait, I'll prove it to you..."
Yun Wei suddenly shut his mouth.
A glistening tear rolled down from his beautiful, smoky gray eyes and shattered on his fingertips.
The icy, slippery sensation traveled down his thumb to the base of his hand, becoming a strange tactile experience he would never forget.
