His fingerprints were branded onto the iron chain.
Sweat dripped down his frail and thin body, mingling with the already dried blood.
He appeared more disheveled than ever before.
He was now so thin that he looked neither like a human nor a ghost, kneeling on the ground in such a twisted and distorted posture, like a demon who had crawled out of Hell after enduring countless hardships.
Xu Xingguang suddenly felt her face was wet. She reached out to touch it and realized that at some point, her face had been covered in tears.
"Huo Wen’an..."
Never before had Xu Xingguang felt such heartache for a man.
The ring worn on Huo Wen’an’s middle finger emitted a dreamy, mystical blue light. Xu Xingguang stared at the ring, examining her own feelings seriously for the first time.
She had previously seen Huo Wen’an as a boyfriend who suited her tastes, awakening her protective instinct and primal desires. She was willing to be with him and didn’t resist marrying him, but it didn’t mean she couldn’t live without him.
She had affection and feelings for Huo Wen’an. But these emotions weren’t etched deep into her soul.
Xu Xingguang wasn’t someone who fell for others easily; otherwise, during those years her soul reincarnated in the Otherworld, she would have already been lost in love.
Until this moment, with tears blurring her vision and ruining her carefully arranged makeup, she realized her feelings for Huo Wen’an were no longer just simple romantic affection.
She probably truly fell in love with Huo Wen’an.
She fell for this cunning man who intentionally lowered himself, using Huo Wuyi as an excuse to connect with her and cling to her.
Huo Wen’an quickly reached his limit from the pain. He wanted to hurt himself, to vent, to destroy anything he could touch.
But he had already dismantled the bed, destroyed the medical equipment; the only thing left intact in the room was Xu Xingguang.
Huo Wen’an lay on the ground like a soft-bodied animal, lifting his head, his eyes filled with bloodshot pain. He stared at Xu Xingguang, as if looking at a delicious cake, or a glowing star.
She attracted him so strongly to approach her.
"Xu Xingguang."
"Xu Xingguang."
"Xu Xingguang..."
Huo Wen’an repeated Xu Xingguang’s name, as if doing so could keep him awake, could prevent him from hurting her.
Hearing Huo Wen’an’s hoarse voice repeating her name, Xu Xingguang felt like crying and laughing at the same time.
Huo Wen’an suddenly picked up the iron chain from the ground, stuffing it into his mouth, biting it fiercely, his whole body convulsing.
Xu Xingguang could no longer stand by. She suddenly raised her left hand, gently shook it, and called out, "Eagle Sparrow."
A black combat steel monster, about two meters tall, mysteriously appeared beside Xu Xingguang.
Huo Wen’an looked up in shock, staring at the terrifying creature that appeared out of nowhere. His clouded mind couldn’t think clearly, but he knew it was unreasonable. freёwebnoѵel.com
Under Huo Wen’an’s gaze, Xu Xingguang climbed up from the corner, entered the cockpit of Eagle Sparrow, and said to Huo Wen’an, "Don’t abuse yourself, Brother A Zui, I’ll fight alongside you."
At that moment, many questions flooded Huo Wen’an’s mind.
What is this black steel monster?
How could it appear out of thin air?
What secrets does Xu Xingguang really hold?
From the moment Huo Wen’an first saw Xu Xingguang at Drunken Beauty Photography Studio, he knew she harbored astonishing secrets. Back then, he had entertained wicked thoughts of prying open her mind to study her thoroughly.
But later, he fell in love with Xu Xingguang, choosing to respect her and her secrets.
Until this moment, with the sudden appearance of Eagle Sparrow, Huo Wen’an realized clearer than ever that Xu Xingguang was indeed enigmatic.
Huo Wen’an’s blood-soaked face revealed a warm smile, and he murmured, "You finally, are willing to open up to me."
Back when he handed over the keys to the cell in Cangshan Town to Xu Xingguang, Huo Wen’an had opened his heart to her.
With sincerity, he hoped for sincerity in return.
Huo Wen’an had been waiting for Xu Xingguang to open up to him, but he never expected it to be on this day.
"Huo Wen’an, hold on, keep fighting to live. I’ll share all my secrets with you."
"Okay!"
Without any reservations, Huo Wen’an fought fiercely with Eagle Sparrow, each move deadly and merciless. Xu Xingguang, controlling Eagle Sparrow against him, watched his combat moves, secretly astonished.
