Chapter 122 You were so fierce
Ning Yan killed three people in public. Many people called the police, and the police responded quickly, but in the end only four bodies were taken away.
The four people all had unknown identities, which made it easy to make a fuss and pin any crime on them.
With the added power of the Yu, Gu and Pei families, no one dared to say anything.
Ning Yan was locked up in the Yu family house, and the police didn't even see him. It looked like protection, but it also looked like imprisonment.
He seemed to have become more obedient and no longer climbed over the wall to go out late at night. Every day he would hold Beibei in his arms and sit in the yard to bask in the little sunshine in winter.
The servants hardly dared to approach him. They placed the food and drinks on the table tremblingly. Before Ning Yan turned around, they had already run away.
Aya is still better, Aya is never afraid of him.
Ning Yan lay in the rocking chair and sighed inwardly.
It was several days later that Yu Chengbai returned home. After running around busy for several days, he looked haggard and exhausted.
I originally planned to go to the study to wash up before meeting Yiwei. When I opened the door of the study, I saw a person sitting behind the desk.
He was wearing casual home clothes, with a book covering his face, and seemed to be asleep.
Yu Chengbai stopped at the door and didn't move for a long time.
Just as he was about to leave, Ning Yan heard a noise, took the book away from his face, and met the eyes of the man opposite him.
Interestingly, Ning Yan, who killed someone in public, didn't show any panic at all. Judging from his mental state, he should have been eating and sleeping well these past few days.
In contrast, Yu Chengbai was a typical person who couldn't sleep or eat, and had no appetite.
"Did you bring the police?" Ning Yan asked, looking behind him.
"No."
Yu Chengbai walked in and stopped beside him. Seeing that his hair was messy, he frowned slightly and whispered, "Why don't you comb your hair?"
Ning Yan lied calmly, "I don't know how to comb my hair. Aya used to comb my hair for me at Ilok Manor, but your servants were afraid of me and refused to comb my hair, so I just stopped."
"I'm sorry, we've been married for so long and I didn't know you couldn't comb your hair."
"fine."
"I'll comb your hair for you later." Yu Chengbai turned around, opened a cabinet on the side, and took something out. He walked back to Ning Yan and said softly, "Don't blame them. They live in a peaceful place. The bloodiest scene they've ever seen is a chicken being slaughtered in the kitchen. It's human nature to be afraid."
"Well, I don't blame them, but why aren't you afraid?"
Yu Chengbai held a wooden comb and stood behind him to comb his hair. His fingers gently shuttled through his hair. He smiled softly and said, "Because I am different from them. We are the same people."
Ning Yan was slightly distracted, thinking over and over again in his mind the words "we are the same people", but in fact, no matter how he thought about it, he and Yu Chengbai did not seem to be the same people.
One of them is kind, the other is vicious;
One is kind, the other cruel;
One keeps his word, the other tells lies all the time.
The only thing they had in common was that they had both lived in that hellhole of a place called Continent M. However, Yu Chengbai had lived a much more glorious life than him, and even he himself had been able to share in the glory.
Ning Yan said softly: "Yu Chengbai, I have lost my memory and can't remember many things. Can you tell me?"
Yu Chengbai nodded: "Well, go ahead."
"Why do you like me?"
“Sometimes, you don’t need a reason to fall in love with someone.”
"Then let me ask this another way. Is it because of Ning Yan that you fell in love with me?"
“…”
Ning Yan reached out and touched her hair. It had been combed and tied with a hairpin, with a fresh flower pinned on the side.
It was the pot of flowers on the desk, the only pot of flowers that Yu Chengbai grew. He picked a flower from it and pinned it on Ning Yan's head.
This flower must be crazy, it can bloom so beautifully in the middle of winter.
Ning Yan put down his hand, as if he had guessed his silence. He looked up at him curiously, "When you first saw me in that small town, did you think I was pretty, or did you think I looked like the man who saved you on the battlefield?"
Yu Chengbai didn't say anything.
He lowered his eyelashes and was about to turn his head when Ning Yan reached out and held his face, making him look into his eyes.
Ning Yan's tone was calm, even gentle and peaceful: "When you heard me call Yiwei, did you think of that man? Just like when I killed someone in front of you, the surprise in your eyes was because of me, or did you think I looked like him?"
“…”
"Sometimes I always feel that you actually love him very much, but you seem unwilling to say it."
Yu Chengbai held his hand with a trembling voice, and his lips moved, but he did not speak for a long time.
This time, he did not refute it, but he also refused to admit it.
Ning Yan tilted his head and asked curiously, "Why aren't you talking?"
Yu Chengbai said hoarsely, "Sorry."
"Is it because he locked your mother, brother, and sister in the basement and tortured them, causing them to end up in a mental hospital, that you refuse to admit that you like him? But when he saved you on the battlefield ten years ago, you didn't seem to admit that you liked him either."
Yu Chengbai didn't answer, but asked him in a trembling voice: "Why do you think I like him?"
Ning Yan looked into his eyes, without a trace of anger in them. Like a smart and innocent child, she said quietly, "On the day I killed someone, you should have come earlier. So later I asked several servants, and they said you saw Ning Yan on the way."
"He had a lot of blood on him. We who often kill people know that it's not serious, but you don't know. That's why your servant said that you were pale and almost scared to death."
"You asked who hurt him. You were so fierce at the time. They said they had never seen you like that before."
"If Shi Shao and the others hadn't brought the doctor, would you still come to the hall to find me? Would you have just carried him away?"
"Yu Chengbai, when you saw me killing someone in the banquet hall, were you thinking about how he would clean up the mess I had made, or were you thinking about how those who hurt him died too easily?"
“…………”
Ning Yan's head was still tilted back, revealing his slender neck and delicate skin extending into his collar, but Yu Chengbai's gaze was always fixed on his eyes.
Evie, who was so calm and composed, showing no resentment or anger, was actually much scarier than the irritable and angry Evie who was yelling for a divorce.
Yi Wei's every frown and smile was exactly the same as Ning Yan in his memories and dreams.
The scarlet eyes became moist. Yu Chengbai was not the kind of person who would get angry out of shame, so the redness in his eyes was not due to anger, but sadness.
"Yvi." Yu Chengbai held the hand on his cheek and said hoarsely, "I always said you two don't look alike, but in fact, you look terribly alike."
"Even though your voice and appearance are different, when I close my eyes, I always feel like you are him."
"I often suspect that you are the same person."
