"The first time I killed someone was when I was fifteen. It was also the day my adoptive father died. Do you know who I killed?"
Shangguan Yu asked in a calm tone.
Rao Mengyu suddenly felt a little creepy, and she carefully guessed: "No...could he be your adoptive father?!"
If so, then Shangguan Yu is really worse than a beast, and those who repay kindness with evil are the most shameful.
"That's not true. I'm not that ungrateful!"
The man said in a self-deprecating or conceited tone.
"The person I killed was the only son of my adoptive father, the little emperor in your mouth."
"Ah? Why...why?"
The more she heard about it, the more curious Rao Mengyu became about Shangguan Yu's experience. Unknowingly, she had been taken into another world by the man. This world was a world that Rao Mengyu had never been exposed to. There were black and white.
It's bloody, cruel, and more of a despair.
In a disorderly world, full of killing and strife, how can one not feel despair?
In Rao Mengyu's eyes, Shangguan Yu is like a mystery, a riddle that she can never solve or understand. He exudes a dark and mysterious aura all over his body, which is a kind of magic power. The closer he gets, the more mysterious he becomes.
The more deeply you are attracted.
"When my adoptive father adopted me, taught me my skills, and gave me rights, he was actually planning for his only son. His position as the leader of the hall was hard-earned and he naturally didn't want to be taken away by outsiders. It just so happened that his son was Fu
The poor Adou is useless. My adoptive father delegated the greatest power to me to help manage the branch. He hopes that I can assist his only son..."
"But in the end, you betrayed your adoptive father, killed his only son and took the position of the hall leader yourself?!"
Rao Mengyu looked at Shangguan Yu with disbelief. Her heart seemed to have experienced a turbulent baptism and was extremely agitated. However, Shangguan Yu looked indifferent and had nothing to do with him. There was no unnecessary expression on Junyi's facial features.
No.
"Do you think I'm not a human being?"
"I……"
Rao Mengyu didn't know how to answer. She felt that the man in front of her was even more unfathomable. The legend that happened to him should be enough to make a 260-minute long autobiographical movie!
"Do you want to hear the truth or lies?"
"Then do you choose to tell the truth or lie?"
Shangguan Yu's overwhelming momentum was like a tight wall, chasing and blocking Rao Mengyu. His pair of black eyes were even more soul-stirring in the dark night.
This was the first time he told someone about his past. He didn't think it was a glorious past. It covered his nightmare-like childhood. He originally planned to bury it forever, but for some reason he chose to confess to a woman.
.
"The lie is that you are really heartless, really despicable, and really shameful!!"
Rao Mengyu said three derogatory words in a row so smoothly that she was not afraid that this man who he described as "ruthless, despicable, and shameful" would become angry and angry at him.
Shangguan Yu became interested. He raised his thick eyebrows and asked, "Is this a lie? Then what is your truth?"
It's impossible, her truth will promote him as a good person!!
"The truth is, although you killed your adoptive father's only son in retaliation for kindness, I believe you must have had your own reasons!"
"How can I see it?"
Shangguan Yu's originally joking voice turned cold, as if someone had stabbed him in the wound.
How could she, a little woman who didn't know anything, conclude that he had bad intentions!!
"Because I believe that human nature is inherently good. When you were only fifteen years old, you were still a boy, and you must have been full of ambitions and hopes for the future. I believe that if you were not forced to do so, you would not do such an ungrateful thing!"
Rao Mengyu had a determined tone, and her bright watery eyes contained a hint of sympathy that could not be hidden.
Yes, it's sympathy.
Abandoned since he was a child, he grew up in a dark alley where gangsters were killed. His only adoptive father regarded him as a tool to help his only son. He had no family and no warmth from his family. Gang wars made him live in fear.
Naturally, he has no friends anymore. Finally, he found a woman he loved, but her father...
When things got here, Rao Mengyu finally understood why Shangguan Yu hated her so much!!
"I'm sorry for you, but I really feel that you still have a choice..."
When Rao Mengyu saw that Shangguan Yu had a cold face and said nothing, she took the initiative to approach him for the first time.
She covered her small and white hands on the man's thick palms, hoping that she could give him some warmth.
Once compassion overflows, it is like a flood that cannot be recovered, and it can easily turn into other things through chemical reactions, such as love...
Rao Mengyu never thought that one day she would really fall in love with this evil man in front of her, who could be called a devil, but the seeds of love may have taken root and sprouted at a moment when they didn't know it.
A man with sky-high self-esteem like Shangguan Yu hates sympathy from others, especially a woman. But when he came into contact with the warmth of Rao Mengyu covering the back of his hand, he suddenly calmed down and felt an inexplicable feeling in his heart.
Really, this feeling has disappeared for a long time since 'she' left...
There are stars floating all over the sky, one by one flying around like fireflies. In the quiet moments, you can hear the tinkling of spring water, the hum of cicadas, and the falling of peach blossoms on thousand-year-old peach trees. They are swirling around one after another. Unknowingly, the woman is leaning on
Man's shoulder fell asleep...
Rao Mengyu's steady breathing was filled with heat, condensing into a wisp of smoke in the cold peach garden. Her nose was red from the cold, but she slept very deeply, as if she was defenseless against the man beside her.
Shangguan Yu took off his coat and gently wrapped the little girl tightly. His movements were very light and gentle, for fear of waking her up.
The man carried her to the room. Rao Mengyu slept deeply all the way and was not even awakened. He even murmured something lazily on the way, probably because he was really too tired.
Shangguan Yu safely placed Rao Mengyu on the large and soft bed, stroking her white and tender face with the back of his hand. Under the light, her sleeping face looked hazy and beautiful.
It is hard to imagine that a man who tortured her like an animal last night would be so gentle and delicate now. If Rao Mengyu were awake now, she would definitely be frightened by the tenderness in Shangguan Yu's eyes.
'Dang, dang, dang...' The European-style wall clock on the wall pointed to eleven o'clock at night, and Shangguan Yu frowned.
"Good night, sweet dreams......"
After saying that, the man left the room silently, as if he was going to an important appointment.
