But only Mu Rou’s body was gradually being dismembered… Because Chen Yan was tightly holding Mu Rou’s body, using her as a shield to avoid Yan Qing’s direct attack.
The scene was quite brutal, and Ah Piao An Qi momentarily wanted to cover her eyes… But this was Yan Qing avenging her! She wanted to watch every single moment!
At this point, Yan Qing suddenly stopped. He took out a box of matches from the bag he had brought.
An Qi only now noticed that many straws had been placed in the pit from the beginning, and Yan Qing had taken out matches… It wasn’t hard to guess what he was going to do.
“Using your woman as a shield…” Yan Qing said with some contempt, quickly striking a match, the flame igniting.
“Yan Qing! I’ll fight you!”
Chen Yan suddenly threw Mu Rou’s body aside and quickly threw out a switchblade.
Perhaps his survival instinct was too strong, or perhaps he had been waiting for this moment…
The knife accurately slashed across Yan Qing’s waist… Yan Qing glanced down at the wound on his waist with no reaction, only throwing the match into the pit.
“Yan Qing, senior!”
An Qi called out, covering her mouth and flying to his side, nervously observing his wound.
“…Heh, serves you right.”
His pitch-black eyes were reflected with the raging fire. After a while, he slowly stepped back two steps, sliding down against the tree behind him, quietly leaning against the tree, seemingly tired, with a soft whisper like a murmur—
“An Qi… you can rest now.”
Ah Piao An Qi saw this and suddenly felt the scene becoming increasingly blurry, her entire body gradually retreating…
Retreating… retreating…
Then, complete darkness.
“Yan Qing, senior!”
An Qi woke up on her bed, her hair in disarray.
One o’clock in the morning, the room was so quiet only the clock’s “tick-tock” could be heard.
An Qi rubbed her sore eyes and sent a text to Yan Qing – “Yan Qing, senior, are you asleep?”
Yan Qing quickly replied – “What’s wrong?”
An Qi seemed to be at ease, replying – “Had a nightmare, so pitiful… qaq!”
Yan Qing seemed to have pondered for a moment before continuing to reply – “Drink some milk and get some rest!”
With Yan Qing saying this, An Qi felt she could sleep well again… She would only do something if Yan Qing suggested it… Could her M soul be awakening? Uh…
An Qi replied with a “Good night” message before happily burrowing back into her blanket like a silkworm.
The dream seemed to be summarizing her previous life.
And in this life, she would live well, together with Yan Qing… live on.
★, Chapter Fourteen
New Year’s Eve, about to step into a new year.
An Qi stood on the balcony, taking a deep breath, feeling that the entire world seemed to have become festive.
“An Qi, come eat New Year’s Eve dinner!” Li Wan, wearing an apron, called out.
She also looked festive, believing that this New Year’s Eve would be the warmest she had spent since marrying into the An family.
“Coming right away!”
An Qi put her hand in her coat pocket, touching her still-silent phone… Really wanting to say “Happy New Year” to Yan Qing immediately.
Walking to the dining table, the meal was naturally very sumptuous.
Besides the squirrel-shaped mandarin fish symbolizing “abundance year after year”, there were also chicken and duck, with several plates of vegetables added, red and green, looking quite beautiful.
