“But I want to destroy your life more…” he said coldly, the hand caressing my right cheek quickly sliding down, once again gripping my neck.
“Great King, do you know why I don’t care if you kill me?”
“Why?”
“Because I’ve always been left to fend for myself, hungry I’ll find something to eat, tired I’ll sleep, in pain I’ll pass out, if I die it doesn’t matter, if I don’t die I’ll wake up again…” I stared into his deep eyes, speaking with difficulty. Left to fend for myself? How poetic I sound, only because in this world no one cares about me or notices me, alone in two worlds, so I’ll just live and die…
“Shut up!” he suddenly interrupted me urgently, and I was stunned, noticing a flash of panic in his eyes, and a strange reluctance that vanished instantly.
“Great King, Lang Yue is still waiting for you. If you’re going to kill me, then kill me. If not, I’m hungry and want to find food.” I impatiently wanted to end this conversation. His hand gripping my neck suddenly tightened, then loosened. I heard him sigh almost imperceptibly, turning to the two attendants and waving his hand, “Return to the study.”
“Yes, Great King.”
enly thinking of Lang Yue, I called out to the Great King without thinking: “Hey, you should stay in the Cherish Moon Tower!”
He let out a light laugh, not turning back as he left. I was stunned, looking back at the trembling Lang Yue, hearing his voice drift back: “My name is Ye Suo.”
My hand had been soaking in cold water for some time. He gripped my wrist with one hand and gently, like a soft breeze, carefully unwrapped the previously messy bandages. There was a thin trace of blood that had stuck to the bandage, but after soaking in cold water, he easily removed it without causing any pain. I was about to say that a firmer touch would be fine when I saw his eyes were tightly focused on my hand, so careful and meticulous, as if he was protecting a precious treasure.
