Liu Yunxi didn't realize what happened for a long time since she woke up. She didn't understand why Shao Peichen, who should have died from the poison, was still standing in front of her intact at this moment.
Shao Peichen looked at Liu Yunxi, as if he could see the doubts in her heart, and squatted down so that Liu Yunxi looked directly at him: "I didn't drink that cup of tea at all."
"Then where am I now?" Liu Yunxi had already looked around, and this was not Chaiyang at all.
Shao Peichen pinched Liu Yunxi's chin, narrowed his eyes and asked her: "Does it matter where you are now?"
Liu Yunxi didn't speak. The intense pain forced her to gasp several times.
Shao Peichen obviously had no intention of letting Liu Yunxi go. He narrowed his eyes and looked Liu Yunxi up and down twice: "Tell me, why do you want to kill me?"
Liu Yunxi said nothing, and her eyes gradually filled with despair as she looked at Shao Peichen.
If Shao Peichen had not died, she would not be able to see the light of day. Jinling and Jiaoling in her dream were also leaving her.
She sobbed and said: "Kill me."
Shao Peichen's hand holding her chin stopped, and then he gritted his teeth: "Kill you? That would be too easy for you."
Liu Yunxi smiled helplessly, raised her eyes and looked at Shao Peichen: "I have been dead for a long time, but I haven't been buried in the soil yet."
There was no trace of life in her eyes, only endless despair.
"Your life is mine. I didn't let you die, so why should you die?" Shao Peichen said word by word.
Liu Yunxi smiled, and the mud on her face matched with the clean smile. Although it didn't match, it was particularly shocking in Shao Peichen's eyes.
Shao Peichen stretched out his other hand, slowly touched Liu Yunxi's cheek, and murmured: "How can I let you die, Yun'er?"
He looked at Liu Yunxi's face and said thoughtfully: "What about you? Do you hate me so much?"
Liu Yunxi felt that the fingers he placed on her face gradually became harder, and her face began to deform.
She said inarticulately: "Shao Peichen, I hate you."
Shao Peichen didn't hear clearly what she said, but the hatred in Liu Yunxi's eyes was particularly strong, and he could see it at a glance.
"Yun'er, I'm really sad." Shao Peichen said softly, but neither his tone nor his expression fluctuated at all, and there was no emotion in his light brown eyes.
Liu Yunxi couldn't help but tremble when she saw Shao Peichen's expression.
She has been with Shao Peichen for so many years, so she naturally knows what every expression of Shao Peichen means.
Just like now, he seems to be expressionless, but this is exactly the expression of Shao Peichen's anger.
Liu Yunxi shook her head fiercely and pulled her face away from Shao Peichen's hand.
"Shao Peichen, is it that important to you whether I live or die?"
She asked Shao Peichen word by word: "Have you ever treated me as a human being in all these years?"
Shao Peichen squatted on the spot, quietly watching the tears flowing from Liu Yunxi's eyes.
He raised his hand and wiped the tears from Liu Yunxi's face.
Liu Yunxi's tears welled up more and more fiercely.
"When did I stop treating you as a human being?"
She heard Shao Peichen say this.
Liu Yunxi couldn't help but sneer: "What do you think? Shao Peichen, do you really dare to say that?"
Shao Peichen said calmly: "Have I ever treated you badly in these years?"
Liu Yunxi gritted her teeth and said, "Is it unfair?"
Shao Peichen raised his hand and slid his knuckles across Liu Yunxi's face: "Stop crying, it's such a shame to have such a face."
"Kill me." Liu Yunxi trembled slightly, but said firmly.
Shao Peichen looked at Liu Yunxi silently.
"You really want to leave me?" Shao Peichen ignored Liu Yunxi's request and said to himself.
"Kill me." Liu Yunxi said reluctantly.
Shao Peichen still didn't respond to her request, but stubbornly wiped the dirt and dust off Liu Yunxi's face.
"Kill me." Liu Yunxi's voice contained a pleading cry.
Shao Peichen didn't seem to hear. It wasn't until he wiped off all the stains on Liu Yunxi's face and her clean face was revealed in front of him that he put away his handkerchief with satisfaction.
Liu Yunxi could no longer stand Shao Peichen looking at her like he was looking at everything, and said desperately.
"Kill me."
Shao Peichen didn't make any move, just looked at Liu Yunxi quietly.
Liu Yunxi could no longer cry. Rather than ending her own life, she was more afraid of the way Shao Peichen looked at her at this moment.
It's like looking at an object.
"Kill me."
She could no longer cry and could only look at Shao Peichen with pleading eyes, begging him to be kind and give her a painless death.
The palms and cheeks collided, making a crisp sound.
Liu Yunxi had just been wiped clean by Shao Peichen, and red finger prints instantly appeared on her fair and tender face.
Her face was turned to one side, frozen there without moving.
Shao Peichen pinched her chin and asked Liu Yunxi to look at him.
Liu Yunxi looked at Shao Peichen's expressionless face, her eyes lost their light and were filled with despair.
"Ever since that day at the Sheep Market, when I brought you to me, your life is mine. If I don't let you die, you can't die."
After finishing speaking, Shao Peichen patted the spot where Liu Yunxi had just been slapped by him and was now red.
"Understood?"
Liu Yunxi kept blowing her breath, and her whole person seemed to have lost its luster.
Shao Peichen shook his hand, threw her to the ground, and stood up.
"Keep an eye on her and take care of her. I want her to be intact."
Liu Yunxi fell to the ground, looking at Shao Peichen's tall figure. All the light leaking in from the door was blocked by him, and Liu Yunxi was shrouded in Shao Peichen's shadow.
She remained motionless, as if living like this had left her with no hope.
Because of this, she didn't see Shao Peichen close his eyes and let out a long sigh.
Shao Peichen didn't want to see the despair in Liu Yunxi's eyes anymore. He couldn't accept Liu Yunxi's rebellion against him. In his heart, Liu Yunxi was always the girl who looked at him with wide eyes at the sheep market. Those eyes
, in such a desperate place, there is a brilliance of hope.
Shao Peichen pursed her lips tightly and walked out of the room where Liu Yunxi was locked up with a pale face.
Then, out of the corner of his eye, he saw Chen Jinjun standing next to the courtyard gate.
"Why is my boss here?" Shao Peichen asked her.
Chen Jinjun looked over Shao Peichen's shoulder and looked inside.
Chen Jinjun had to look up at Shao Peichen: "Let her live."
Shao Peichen looked at Chen Jinjun with complicated emotions in his eyes: "I didn't intend to kill her."
Chen Jinjun was a little surprised: "Master Shao is still a person who misses his old relationship, but he has never noticed it."
Shao Peichen narrowed his eyes and looked at Chen Jinjun. He didn't understand why she came here. Could it be that she wanted to save Liu Yunxi's life?
"Why is my boss here?" Shao Peichen asked Chen Jinjun seemingly unintentionally.
Chen Jinjun sighed: "I once promised her that after killing you, I would send her to Jinling."
"Jinling?" Shao Peichen remembered. That night, Liu Yunxi was talking about Jinling in the carriage carriage.
“What’s good about Jinling?”
Shao Peichen tilted his head slightly and smiled disdainfully.
"That was the capital of the Republic of China, prosperous and lively." Chen Jinjun raised his head and looked at the bright sky.
Shao Peichen stopped talking.
Where is Jinling? It was the first city Liu Yunxi visited after she came to her.
"My boss, can you let her move next door to me?" Shao Peichen asked Chen Jinjun.
Chen Jinjun raised his head and looked at Shao Peichen unexpectedly.
