Chapter 834: Unt.i.tled
“Silver Cloud…” Xu Xing’s gaze looked misty as if covered with a thin layer of water. Silver Cloud tried to suppress his feelings and was on the verge of breaking down.
He tried to control his heavy breathing as he leaned against her forehead, his hot breath surrounding her nose. Self-conscious, Xu Xing flushed even more as he was very close to her. She did not dare to move and just obediently hugged his neck.
None of them spoke. Xu Xing moved her lips but did not say anything in the end. She hid her face on his shoulder and she liked the nice smell of Silver Cloud. She did not know since when, but she liked everything about this man. Even his kiss and his touch, she…
She was lost and confused. Could it be that she was a flirty woman? She obviously liked Ye Ningyuan, so why did she and Silver Cloud… She really could not understand why. This question seemed complicated and it kept bothering her.
“Xing Xing, I’m sorry!” Silver Cloud said as he gently caressed her long hair. His moves were clumsy but gentle and careful as if afraid that he would scare her.
“It’s okay.” Her voice was very soft and Silver Cloud knew that she had misunderstood him and thought that he was apologizing for bullying her. Actually, he was apologizing for hiding the truth from her for so long. She might not have been so sad if he had told her about it earlier.
He did not explain and just turned her so that she could lie on the petals. Silver Cloud curled his legs to cover himself up as his l.u.s.t would not be able to subside anytime soon. She was clueless about this and he did not want to scare her.
“Silver Cloud…” Xu Xing called him. She did not know if she should ask, but if she didn’t ask, it’d make her feel uncomfortable. Silver Cloud’s gaze was scorching under the dim light and she was afraid of his gaze.
“What do you want to ask?”
“You…” Xu Xing held onto her skirt nervously and asked, “Do you like me? I mean… the kind of like between a man and woman, not between friends.”
She was afraid that he would misunderstand her, so she explained.
He must have liked her at least a little. But, she really could not understand Silver Cloud’s thoughts, so she looked down and waited for his reply nervously. He did not reply for a long time and Xu Xing felt sad and disappointed.
Suddenly, her hair felt warm. Silver Cloud gently touched her long hair and said softly, “Do you think I like you?”
Xu Xing was startled. “I don’t know.”
Silver Cloud said, “You will understand someday.”
It was a sentence with profound meaning and Xu Xing could not understand. Which day was someday and what should she understand? Sometimes, she really did not like the way men talked. It was too profound.
Take Ye Ningyuan and Silver Cloud for example.
Sometimes, their words have different meanings and it made people confused and had to spend more effort to guess what they were trying to say. Xu Xing thought that she was not as smart as them and did not have so many complicated thoughts. Yes was yes and no was no. Was it so difficult to answer?
She did not like this kind of reply. However, as the person was Silver Cloud, she did not dislike him. If it was someone else, she might be angry with the person.
She sighed and sat there, not knowing what to do. She sat beside him and put her head on his shoulder and closed her eyes. She felt calm and safe. “How nice it would be if someone liked me simply because I’m myself.”
“Xing Xing, you don’t have to compare yourself to Xu Nuo, really,” Silver Cloud said. Xu Xing had a knot in her heart because of this. Because of Ye Ningyuan, this knot was like a devil torturing her.
“What about you? Have you compared me with her before?”
“You won’t believe me if I said no.”
Xu Xing was silent. Silver Cloud said, “I know Xu Nuo first and then you. Both of you are twins and I will think of Xu Nuo when I see you. I will also think of you when I think of Xu Nuo. This is a natural thing and not because I want to compare. She had a lot of advantages that you don’t have, but you also have a lot of advantages that she didn’t have.”
“I thought my sister was perfect, and that’s why everyone liked her.” Xu Xing smiled.
“No, Xu Nuo is not perfect,” Silver Cloud said. He thought of An Xunuo and said, “You know Ophelia, don’t you? She resembles Xu Nuo a lot. Sometimes, when I see her, I will think that Xu Nuo had reincarnated.”
“Ophelia?” Xu Xing was startled. “You know her too?”
“Yes!” Silver Cloud tried to end the topic. “Sometimes, when I see her, it’s as if I’ve seen Xu Nuo. Their personality and hobbies are almost the same. No wonder Ye Ningyuan…”
He paused and did not continue. But, Xu Xing was deep in thought. It turned out that the sister that she wanted to know about was like An Xunuo. She smiled bitterly. “I disliked her since I was young.”
Because An Xunuo seemed to s.n.a.t.c.h her mommy’s love from her. Maybe she was afraid that An Xunuo would really replace her sister’s position and she felt complicated about it. Therefore, she did not like An Xunuo.
“I know,” Silver Cloud said calmly. Xu Xing suddenly paused and looked at Silver Cloud and asked, “You brought me to Paradise Island this time not because you want me to relax, right?”
She suddenly felt that something was wrong, and her body tensed. She grabbed his arms. “Silver Cloud, what are you up to?”
Silver Cloud looked at her and said calmly, “I want to take revenge for Xu Nuo.”
“Revenge? You… want to kill Ye Ningyuan?” Xu Xing gasped and widened her eyes. “How could you do that? Ye Ningyuan didn’t do anything wrong.”
“Xu Nuo died because of him,” Silver Cloud said coldly.
“Ningyuan can’t be blamed. He was the saddest person when my sister died, and he almost went crazy because of that. More than anyone else, he hoped that my sister would still be alive. How could you blame him?” Xu Xing shouted in an agitated manner. She did not know why she was fl.u.s.tered, but she grabbed his arms tightly. “Silver Cloud, don’t be like this. I beg you. Don’t kill Ningyuan.”
“It’s too late,” Silver Cloud said cruelly. “He will reach Paradise Island by tomorrow afternoon and everything will end here. Xu Nuo died a terrible death and she would be alive now if not because of him.”
Xu Xing was shocked and stood listlessly, crying. “You are taking revenge for my sister, but have you thought about if this was what she wanted? She risked her life and sacrificed herself for Ningyuan. Do you think she would want you to kill him?”
