Chapter 17 Can You Afford It? (2/2)



"Who wants to be that kind of person?" Pei Xiqing blinked slowly, her eyes frail and pitiful, "Really..."

She knelt on the ground, tilted her neck, and slowly moved a few inches closer. "Brother Duan, do you really want to go? What should I do if I don't want to?"

Pei Xiqing kept a vague distance from him, raised her eyes slightly and said, "Can I not go?"

Duan Xiaolin looked down at him, "This is not something I can decide."

"Then...what should we do?"

Isn't he a member of Farahlon? How could he not even make a decision on this matter?

"I don't know." His tone was so cold that there seemed to be no room for compromise.

Like an impartial judge, he will judge her.

Duan Xiaolin did not move, nor did he stop her actions, allowing her to cross the line.

Pei Xiqing could even feel his heartbeat getting increasingly crazy, making his chest numb and itchy.

She tried her best to suppress her fear and stopped only when she was only a short distance away from the man. Her body was so cold that she could not refuse the warmth coming from him.

I don't know how he got here, but since he can sit here so calmly, he must have been here for a while.

My gaze moved upwards from his muddy trouser legs. Beneath his abstinence and composure, he looked like a wild beast ready to attack at any moment.

As she got closer, she could smell the faint cold wood fragrance on him. The man's steady breath spread over her head, and she couldn't help but shiver.

She knew better than anyone that Duan Xiaolin was not the obscene stuff the original owner knew before, an animal who only thought with his lower body, nor was he the fanatical male fan in the real world who madly cheered for her and was obsessed with her appearance and figure.

He is a normal, mature man.

He possesses an experience and perspective that she cannot reach, a past that she only temporarily understands, a power that she cannot control, and a desire for absolute self-control.

Pei Xiqing's body softened and he fell to the ground.

It looked like a little animal that couldn't get what it wanted and was kneeling pitifully at his feet.

That's always fate.

She thought she could escape, but reality was always disappointing.

The cannon fodder female supporting role becomes an experimental subject in the explosive base... a plot I had never imagined.

She just wanted to lie down and live if she could, but if she couldn't, she might as well be free sooner. But if she went to the laboratory, she would probably be living a life worse than death, so how could she be free?

Just as he looked away, within a second, his chin was lifted up by a long and broad hand.

The man's fingers were strong and tolerant of rejection. He raised them slightly, and Pei Xiqing met his gaze again.

Duan Xiaolin was like a judge who had the power of life and death, looking down at her with the bottomless darkness behind him.

The moment their eyes met, their auras intertwined, as if their sights were also entangled, and the ambiguous and longing nature gradually revealed itself. Something in the man's eyes seemed to gradually crack. "If Duan Xiaolin's identity is not enough, there are always other identities that can be used."

"What..." Pei Xiqing didn't react. Only later did he realize that he was answering his previous question and subconsciously asked, "What do you mean by other identities?"

The calluses on the man's knuckles rubbed against the delicate skin of her cheek, easily leaving fingerprints on it. A hint of coldness gradually spread along the skin of the two people touching each other to the whole body, and gradually began to heat up.

"It hurts." Pei Xiqing frowned.

His grip was so strong that it was a little too much for her.

The man's low and hoarse voice drilled into her ears: "You can't even bear this little pain, how dare you provoke me?"

Suddenly, Pei Xiqing's eyes widened.

He chuckled twice, "Don't be so surprised, I know what you want."

Pei Xiqing took a breath and heard him say, "I can be satisfied."

She looked up in surprise.

The man opened his thin lips and said, "Can you give me what I want?"
