Ye Shengge endured the pain and frowned, letting him in deeper.
Ji Shiting gritted his teeth. He knew he should push her away, but he couldnât bear to do so.
âShiting, you know... I approached you to get rid of the birthmark on my face.â Her eyes were filled with tears, and her voice was broken because of the pain. âBut now, I... I want to get rid of the birthmark for you.â
Ji Shiting pursed his lips and swallowed hard. He didnât say anything or move.
âIâll have to face whatâs already happened sooner or later,â she mumbled. âWithout the past, I donât have a future. Although those things seem to be hidden away deeply, who knows when itâll suddenly come out and give me a fatal blow... Iâd rather take the initiative, even if the process is painful. I can only be with you after I get rid of this hidden danger.â
âYe Shengge.â He called her name. âSince youâre so determined... What if I tell you that youâve killed someone before?â
âWhat?â Ye Shengge was so shocked that her body relaxed.
Ji Shiting grunted and left, although he couldnât bear to do so.
He hugged her and frowned. âYou were kidnapped by a human trafficker before. You had a knife when your parents found you, and you killed him yourself.â
Ye Shenggeâs mouth fell open, and she couldnât say anything for a long time.
âOf course. That human trafficker deserved to die,â the man said and kissed the corner of her lips. âYou donât have to blame yourself at all. But I donât want you to remember that scene either.â
He could almost imagine how terrified that innocent and weak girl had been.
The woman leaned against his chest with a pale face, as if she was trying to digest the news. She didnât say anything for a long time.
The man looked regretful.
He couldnât help saying it out loud, but it was hard for him to accept it even if he heard it from others.
Not to mention recalling those scenes.
âCan you forget about this from now on?â The man kissed her comfortingly.
âI... I didnât know I was that strong.â She forced a smile, but her face was still pale.
âThatâs right,â Ji Shiting said, as if he couldnât tell how weak she was. âIf you werenât that strong, you mightâve been trapped under a mountain for the rest of your life.â
Ye Shengge nodded and snuggled into the manâs embrace.
Ji Shiting swallowed hard and said, âSleep.â
She blinked and fell silent for a while. She then looked at him and said, âIâm not done yet.â
Ji Shitingâs pupils contracted.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âI havenât given up yet.â She bit her lips, looking determined. âIâm not afraid, Shiting. I wonât regret it.â
The man tightened his grip on her waist.
âIt doesnât sound like Iâve been hurt much, so why should I be afraid?â She smiled. âI clearly defeated the bad guy.â
Ji Shiting moved his lips as if he wanted to say something, but he stopped himself.
âDid you know, Ji Shiting? Iâve been lonely all my life.â Her eyelashes fluttered. âUntil I met you and fell in love with you.â
