The dilapidated room was suddenly quiet, with cold wind howling through the window cracks, and only Luo Mu’er’s suppressed angry breathing could be heard.
The stalemate continued for several minutes.
“Okay, I admit it,” Luo Mu’er spoke again, surprisingly calm. He said, “I admit that I was wrong about the chocolate incident.”
In Luo Mu’er’s life, saying “I was wrong” was rare.
But Si Nan remained unmoved.
“I shouldn’t have made you use the electric shock device yourself as punishment using chocolate when you were weak.”
“—But you know,” Luo Mu’er paused, then continued coldly, “Being bitten by a zombie in the test was always going to be punished. We’ve both experienced this. Although the simulation intensity you underwent was indeed greater than anyone in the White Eagle Force, and you believe using food as an inducement is an insult…”
Si Nan showed no reaction.
“Are you even listening to me?”
Luo Mu’er took a deep breath to control his emotions: “Your childish persistence is meaningless, Noah.”
Hypothetically, if you were starving to death now, with only a piece of chocolate in front of you that you must eat to survive, would you still insist on this pale and ridiculous personality?”
What he didn’t expect was that Si Nan actually opened his eyes, turned his head, and smiled: “No.”
—The three short words were hoarse and almost inaudible, but the slight curve at the corner of his mouth was genuine, leaving Luo Mu’er stunned.
“I’ve already started eating chocolate,” Si Nan said, his smile carrying undisguised malice: “Someone gave me some a few days ago. I ate a big piece.”
Luo Mu’er was completely at a loss for words and stood there dazed.
Si Nan sat on the ground, once again resting his neck on the bed’s edge, as if those two sentences had exhausted all his strength.
Luo Mu’er had always known that Noah’s true personality had an extremely radical side. He hated others, and he hated himself.
He would be willing to accept Luo Mu’er’s conditions when hunger was unbearable, pressing the electric shock device himself, enduring both physical pain and the mental humiliation of this double torture.
