Chapter 1060: You And I Are From Different Worlds After All
Leng Hao wanted to comfort her. But before he had even touched her head, the girl screamed. She raised her head and looked at him with fear in her eyes. “Don’t touch me!”
Leng Hao’s hand froze in mid-air when he heard that. He looked at the girl’s beautiful pupils. Now, her eyes were filled with disgust and fear. She looked at him as if she was looking at a bloodthirsty devil.
The gentleness in Leng Hao’s eyes instantly disappeared, and then it was replaced with coldness. He stood up and said, “Let’s go.”
He began walking forward.
Ye Xiaotao looked up. He picked up the torch and walked away. Blood dripped from his arms to the ground, and Ye Xiaotao could hear the splash sound.
His back was still handsome and tall, but the surrounding darkness engulfed him from all directions. Ye Xiaotao felt that his back looked bleak and lonely.
“Wait… wait for me.” Ye Xiaotao quickly got up. She disregarded the weakness in her legs and quickly chased after him.
…
After walking for a very long time, they finally reached the exit. Looking at the light in front of them, Ye Xiaotao was so happy she could cry. “They’ve escaped.”
Leng Hao threw the torch in his hand on the ground and looked around.
“Where are we?” Ye Xiaotao also looked around. They seem to be in a wilderness. There were many different paths and intersections. She didn’t know the way at all.
Their phones had been taken away, and they don’t have any other communication tools.
Leng Hao pursed his pale thin lips and looked at the sky. Then, he chose a path on the right without saying a word.
“Leng Hao…” Ye Xiaotao chased after him. “Why are you walking so fast? I’m scared. Wait for me… Ah, your arm is still bleeding. Let me take a look…”
Ye Xiaotao touched his left arm.
However, Leng Hao pulled back his arm before she could touch it. He kept walking without looking at her.
The man’s expression was very unpleasant. He had probably lost too much blood. His face was pale and his lips were blue. Most importantly, he seemed to be angry. His handsome face was tense and his cold expression scared people away.
Ye Xiaotao knew that she had made a mistake. She followed behind him and explained in a low voice, “Are you… angry? I’m sorry, just now… I was just too scared. It was the first time I saw… you kill someone, so… I spoke carelessly. I’m sorry…”
The man in front of her didn’t say anything.
As they walked, Ye Xiaotao felt cold rain on her face. She looked up and saw that the sky was raining.
It was already autumn and the rain was very cold.
“Honey, should we find a shelter first? The rain is getting heavier and heavier. If we get wet, we will catch a cold…”
Before Ye Xiaotao could finish her sentence, the tall figure in front of her swayed. Then, with a loud sound, Leng Hao knelt on one knee on the ground.
“Honey!” Ye Xiaotao was shocked. She quickly went forward and squatted down. “Honey, what’s wrong? Don’t scare me…”
Leng Hao felt dizzy. He was at his limit. He blinked and looked at the girl beside him, “Go ahead. If you follow this path, you should get to the exit. If you see anyone, call out loudly. I believe your daddy must have sent people to look for you…”
“What are you talking about? If I leave, what are you going to do? I’m not going without you!” Ye Xiaotao insisted.
Leng Hao curled his lips, revealing a bitter and lonely smile. “Don’t worry about me. We’re not suitable. You and I are from different worlds after all.”
Ye Xiaotao shook her head. “I don’t know what you’re talking about. Get up. Let’s go. We can definitely turn the situation around!” She grabbed his arm.
But Leng Hao pushed her away. She lost her balance and fell to the ground. Her soft little palm rubbed against the rough ground and bled. She was in so much pain that tears came out of her eyes.
The man laughed, “Ye Xiaotao, do you not understand what I mean? I told you to get lost! Look at you, you can’t do anything. You are so stupid. If you weren’t caught by Ye Ziyi, would I end up like this? You said that you would go with me, but you fall so easily. What else can you do? If you stay, you will only be a burden. I don’t need you anymore. Get lost!”
Ye Xiaotao’s eyes were blurred by tears. His words really hurt her feelings. She felt that she was a failure. She was the one who dragged him down. Everything she did was wrong.
Ignoring the pain in her palm, she got up from the ground. She looked at Leng Hao with teary eyes and sobbed softly, “I’m sorry, I’m really sorry… I’ll leave. But not now… you’re injured and you’re bleeding a lot. Let’s leave this place together first, and then…”
“Ha,” Leng Hao sneered. He fixed his eyes on her and said coldly, “Are you staying here because I’m injured? I think you’re just trying to drag me down. You can’t live without me. Miss Ye, what else can you do?”
Ye Xiaotao’s entire body was wet from the rain, and her teeth were chattering. The man’s words were like a sharp knife that kept cutting her heart, making her feel bad and disappointed.
She clenched her hands and straightened her back. That was her line. She would not allow anyone to trample on her pride and dignity.
She looked at the man with tears flowing down her face. “Leng Hao, I’ve caused you harm. I hereby solemnly apologize to you, but I’m not the kind of person you think I am! Also, if you want me to leave, fine, I’ll leave!”
Ye Xiaotao turned around and ran away quickly.
Seeing the girl’s figure disappear in front of his eyes, Leng Hao’s tensed face gradually relaxed. Ye Xiaotao, I’m sorry…
He couldn’t hold on any longer. His vision turned dark and he fell to the ground.
His eyelids were very heavy. He wanted to sleep. He knew that he might not be able to open his eyes again once he slept. The bullet in his left arm had not been removed and the wound had been infected and festered. He did not have the strength to walk out, so he did not want to drag her down. She should leave on her own.
Leng Hao opened his eyes slightly. He watched as the heavy rain fall on the ground. Was he going to die alone like this?
He knew that loneliness was his destiny.
He did not like fighting and killing. He had never liked it. But he killed for the first time when he was only twelve. His hands were stained with blood. He had no friends, and he did not need friends. His father and sister were not people he could confide in. As time pa.s.sed, he closed his heart. He had always been alone.
Later, he met Bai Lingyun. The three years he spent at college was filled with joy. However, Bai Lingyun eventually abandoned him and went abroad. He knew that she did not like his background in the mafia world.
All in all, Bai Lingyun did not understand him.
Bai Lingyun had never entered his heart.
