Chapter 40: The Favorite of Pseudo-campus Literature (40)
A tiny flame, the moment it touched the ground, instantly erupted into a raging inferno. Dancing fire snakes greedily devoured everything they could, their ugly and flamboyant demeanor fully revealed.
Terrifying high temperatures and heat waves are also coming in an instant.
An Xun's expression changed immediately. He looked at the girl who had already fallen asleep in his arms after being injected with the drug.
He was clearly asleep.
But there was a satisfied smile on her delicate face.
Just like standing at the finish line and looking at his winner, An Xun's heart suddenly ached. He quickly picked up the girl and carried her away from the Qiao family.
Fortunately, it was near the door.
There's still time to leave.
He never thought that after he used his life to threaten Qiao Xi to stay with him, Qiao Xi would so decisively choose to end her own life.
In his expectation.
Even though the girl is unwilling, she still chooses to be with him.
And any gasoline he spilled could be cleaned up later.
But even though she had already fallen asleep, she still played him around with the attitude of a winner, as if she knew what An Xun was going to do.
She was unusually quiet as she fell asleep.
The peaceful and beautiful sleeping face was illuminated by the firelight, making it particularly soft and hazy. Her well-behaved appearance nestled in his arms made it hard to imagine what kind of crazy soul was hidden under this skin.
An Xun's hands were shaking slightly as he held her.
He was scared, really scared by Qiao Xi's risky behavior towards him.
The girl seemed to not care about her own life or death at all, always keeping herself out of the matter, as if no one could really touch her. Even now that An Xun was holding her, he felt that Qiao Xi was far away from him.
It seemed as if as soon as he let go of his hand.
The person in his arms would disappear like a dissipating point of light.
An Xun held her in his arms and stared blankly at the magnificent mansion gradually decaying and blackening under the flames. The gorgeous flames were so hot that they seemed to burn into his heart.
It was so hot that he couldn't react in time.
How should he keep Qiao Xi? How should he keep her?
His girl didn't care about anything. Nothing was important to her. Even her own life could be easily ended. Not to mention her heart, An Xun almost couldn't even keep her body.
What could An Xun use to threaten her?
For the first time in his life, he felt such a strong sense of powerlessness. It was the first time he truly longed for someone but was unable to get him.
Qiao Xi is like an exquisite and beautiful doll placed in a glass cabinet.
Her every smile and frown is captivating, yet no one can touch her. She is like a fairy who has long resided in the Moon Palace, ethereal and illusory like a dream, as if touching her would immediately vanish.
He couldn't keep her.
The girl ended her life without hesitation.
The overflowing bitterness had already filled An Xun's heart, and at the same time, the pain that followed made his heart ache.
He could never keep her.
When this reality was once again clearly before his eyes, leaving him with no chance to escape, An Xun finally realized how wrong he had been in doing this to her.
But can it be salvaged now?
He personally pushed his relationship with Qiao Xi to the point of no return.
The flames greedily devoured the Qiao family, like a holy fire that purifies heresy, burning away all of An Xun's crazy and suppressed dark emotions.
His pride was buried in the flames.
He never imagined that his principles of more than 20 years would be overturned because of a woman.
He really failed.
When his heart was stirred by Qiao Xi and the already turbid water became even more turbid, the arrival of the fire made him realize the current reality.
yes.
Only by keeping his claws and teeth hidden can he stay with Xiaoxi. Otherwise, given his and Xiaoxi's personalities, neither side will compromise and end up with a bloody collision.
His Xiaoxi is unwilling to accept him.
Then he could only hide the dark side that was ready to emerge. After all, from the moment he started to fall in love with Qiao Xi and lowered his bottom line for her again and again, perhaps today's ending was destined.
They are all too strong-willed.
He shouldn't have forced her. Now that he knows this, maybe it's not too late.
An Xun looked at the peaceful sleeping face of the girl in his arms, felt her presence beside him, and felt calmer than ever before.
Not far away.
There was the fire department that was about to arrive, and passersby who had already gathered outside, expressing their regret for the mansion.
*
Qiao Xi was admitted to the hospital.
She was injected with an overdose of drugs and fell into a coma. When Gu Xuanye received the news, his heart was in his throat.
And when he went to the ward to visit Qiao Xi.
When Gu Xuanye discovered that a strange man was kissing Qiao Xi's lips, his mind exploded and his rationality was suddenly swallowed up by anger.
"Get out of here!"
He strode forward and pulled the man away, and when Gu Xuanye saw the man's face, he was completely shocked.
AX……
He should have expected that Qiao Xi's accident was definitely related to this person, but he didn't expect that when he knew that it was AX who did it.
This anger was far beyond his imagination.
Gu Xuanye's eyes were bloodshot, and he swung a punch at An Xun. The latter didn't even try to dodge, and took the punch hard, even wiping the corner of his mouth with his hand.
"What did you do to Xixi?!"
Gu Xuanye growled and grabbed An Xun's collar. He almost couldn't control his emotions if he hadn't considered that he was still in Qiao Xi's ward.
He really wanted to skin this man alive right away.
How dare you... defile his woman!
An Xun found Gu Xuanye's angry look funny. He curled the corners of his mouth into a sarcastic arc, looking as if he was looking at a clown.
"What? You don't know about Xiaoxi and me? Or...she didn't tell you?"
This blatant mockery immediately broke Gu Xuanye's rationality.
His eyes were sinister, and his voice was low and hoarse. "Don't try to provoke me with such despicable means. She and I have already had..."
How is Xixi?
He knew it very well that girls gave their first time to him and loved him deeply, how could he not know that?
"Methods? Ha, I don't even bother to provoke you."
An Xun seemed to have heard some extremely funny joke, and looked at Gu Xuanye with pity in his eyes.
How pitiful.
Perhaps Xiao Xi hadn't told Gu Xuanye what happened between him and her. An Xun felt much more relieved. In terms of time, he was the first one to come, and the girl's first time was given to him.
Gu Xuanye was still unaware and kept in the dark.
Seeing his former rival showing this expression without realizing it, An Xun felt unprecedentedly refreshed.
But Qiao Xi was touched by Gu Xuanye.
The gloom and darkness that An Xun had originally intended to suppress in his heart began to grow wildly again. He tried every possible way to avoid this situation, but he didn't expect it to happen again.
But it doesn't matter.
From now on, he will make sure Xiaoxi is alone.
"Gu Xuanye, you may not know this yet. I was her first man, and you are just a latecomer."
