Free Web NovelChapter 356: Chapter 123: Out of Danger, Mission Accomplished
Huo Wen’an could no longer remember the last time he cried out in pain.
It was probably when he was very young, still holding onto hope for his mother. During the times when she punished him, he would cling tightly to her leg and scream in pain. freёwebnoѵel.com
But his mother would kick him away forcefully.
Since then, Huo Wen’an learned to be silent.
In this world, no one can truly empathize with you. Your cries of suffering are just another spice in their lives.
But at this moment, holding Xu Xingguang’s slender and soft body, Huo Wen’an finally found support and reliance, and he couldn’t help but soften, crying out in pain.
"Xu Xingguang, I’m really hurting."
Hurting everywhere.
Upon hearing his words, Xu Xingguang suddenly felt a pang in her heart, filled with regret for having left Huo Wen’an to endure everything silently.
"Endure for one more day, endure this one time, and joy will come after the suffering." Xu Xingguang gently stroked Huo Wen’an’s hair, whispering to him: "I’ll be here with you all the way. Whatever you do for the next 24 hours, I’ll be with you."
Huo Wen’an replied, "Then you should leave."
Xu Xingguang was slightly taken aback.
Huo Wen’an gently bit Xu Xingguang’s fair and delicate shoulder, filled with inner torment, while Xu Xingguang heard his guilty voice: "I’ve hurt Ye Mingluo, and if you stay, I’ll accidentally hurt you too. Xu Xingguang, leave now. Don’t let my fists land on you."
He liked her so much, he didn’t want to hurt Xu Xingguang.
Huo Wen’an told Xu Xingguang, "During those years when I was kept as a Combat Doll, my body was transformed. My body has long ceased to be normal. When my physical functions weaken, it triggers the belligerent genes within me."
"Xingguang, I might end up killing you."
Upon hearing this, Xu Xingguang felt even more sorrowful. "I’m not leaving."
Xu Xingguang smiled a little, encouraging Huo Wen’an: "They say that a couple shares both happiness and hardships together. We’ve been engaged, and we’ve slept together, so we’re practically a couple."
"I have to stay with you. Besides, you might not even be able to hurt me; I’m quite formidable."
Huo Wen’an shook his head, saying, "You’re a liar."
"What?"
Huo Wen’an said, "You lied to me; we never actually slept together."
Huo Wen’an wasn’t truly foolish. When Xu Xingguang said they had been intimate, initially, he believed it. But after returning to Divine Concealment Island for so long, he had been trying to recall the intimate moments with Xu Xingguang in a deserted area but could remember nothing.
The only thing he could recall were fragmented dream sequences.
In the dreams, Xu Xingguang was particularly soft and compliant; she would go along with whatever he said.
But the real Xu Xingguang could never be this accommodating to him.
She had her own pride; why would she let him have his way?
"You lied to me, you must have heard me dreaming and deliberately teased me." Huo Wen’an lightly pinched Xu Xingguang’s shoulder, saying: "Thankfully, I didn’t muddle-headedly take you."
Xu Xingguang wanted Huo Wen’an to stay clear-headed, so she deliberately teased him: "Then tell me, under what circumstances would you take me? How would you possess me?"
Huo Wen’an said, "It must be at the right moment, in the right place, to seduce you clearly." He spoke like he was in a dream, softly saying: "I would first kiss your eyes, restrain your hands, encircle you in my arms with no retreat."
"I want to watch you become captivated by me, hurt for me, deeply ensnared, unable to extricate yourself."
"I would..."
He rambled on about many things, and in the end, his words became indistinct. Slowly, Huo Wen’an’s breathing became calm, seeming to have fallen asleep.
Xu Xingguang maintained that position without moving, kneeling there, letting Huo Wen’an rest against her for a while.
Sleep is the best way to recuperate.
But Huo Wen’an hadn’t slept long before waking again. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
Before he fully awoke, Xu Xingguang sensed the temperature within him rapidly rising; she could even see the slight bulge and calm of the blood vessels on Huo Wen’an’s body.
"Hmm..." Huo Wen’an was completely awake.
The first thing he did upon waking was push Xu Xingguang away.
Perhaps he was not fully conscious, but his subconscious reminded him not to harm the person in his arms.
Unprepared, Xu Xingguang was pushed down by him, leaning against the wall.
She hadn’t expected Huo Wen’an’s instinctual reaction to be to distance himself from her, somewhat shocked by involuntary actions.
After pushing Xu Xingguang away, Huo Wen’an lost his support. Hunched over and lying on the ground, the intense pain made him suffer terribly. Unable to find anything to vent on, he tightly grasped the iron chain on his wrist.
