inary children, but how could this ten-year-old kid see through that?
“Otherwise, why did you smile at me when I said I would take you away? You gave me water, which I guess was because you had figured out my identity and wanted to find a way to get close to me and leave this dungeon. Am I right?” Liu Yu said flatly, lowering his head and locking his gaze on the chessboard, his black chess piece still unable to fall.
I shivered, hardly believing these extraordinarily logical words came from a “little brat’s” mouth.
“Just from an unintentional smile, you guessed all my thoughts. Oh my, you’ll definitely become a demon king when you grow up… Fortunately, we’re not enemies, or I’d be doomed.”
“Naturally, we’re not enemies. You are my future queen,” Liu Yu said, raising his head and giving me a mischievous light smile. His eyes were like a clear spring, yet also like a sharp cat’s eyes – these two extremely contradictory feelings were perfectly balanced in his eyes.
After a brief shock, I realized the playful words from his mouth and couldn’t help but glare at him. At a time when our lives were at stake, he was still thinking about this, which was both amusing and frustrating.
“Why aren’t you speaking, my love?” Seeing me speechless, Liu Yu decided to take full advantage of the situation.
I felt the exit was not far away, and my steps involuntarily quickened, but as I thought of Liu Yu’s leg, I slowed down again. Liu Yu’s warm breath immediately blew on my face: “My beloved, you are so good. If I cannot marry you in this lifetime, I will surely regret it forever.”
“Then I wish you an early lifelong regret…” I was about to sarcastically banter with Liu Yu when several prison guards walked out from the side, speaking in a neither cold nor warm tone: “Miss Long, are you taking a walk again?”
I looked at Liu Yu, all my confusion evident on my face.
“I know what you want to ask, but some things cannot be explained now.” I could feel Liu Yu’s lips forcing a smile. Suddenly, I remembered something and abruptly pushed away his hand from my shoulder. “Was your leg also fake?”
