Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
As the scenes from the past flashed through his mind, Shen Liangchuan’s eyes grew heavy.
Then, he had a strange feeling, as though he had gone back to the past.
At that time, he and Soul Fighter were both in Beijing, so they had long become friends in real life.
They often went for walks in Springtime and hang out together.
Sometimes they would play video games together in person, just for the social interaction.
It felt like he had gone back to a particular summer, when he was at home with the air conditioning turned on and sitting in front of the computer. He was chatting with Xiao Qiao on the game and waiting for Soul Fighter to turn up.
Xiao Qiao was jealous and said, “You two are almost a couple now.”
Listening to her seductively delicate voice, he laughed and teased her wickedly, “Are you jealous?”
“Of course not! Why is Soul Fighter taking so long? Are we going to start playing soon?!”
Shen Liangchuan looked at his watch.
It was nine in the morning.
They had planned to meet at this time. Why hadn’t Soul Fighter turned up?
Shen Liangchuan frowned, wondering.
The next moment, the doorbell rang.
He laughed and said, “Speak of the devil. Let’s make Soul Fighter take the champion Cao Cao.”
Immediately, Xiao Qiao laughed gleefully and said, “Great. So you’re still playing Zhou Yu and I’m Xiao Qiao. Let him rot in jealousy.”
“Uh huh.”
The housekeeper downstairs opened the door to let Soul Fighter in.
He made his way upstairs.
He knocked on the door to the computer room. Shen Liangchuan looked up and yelled, “Come in.”
There was a dead silence.
Seeing no response, Shen Liangchua stood up as he said to Xiao Qiao, “This Soul Fighter, does he expect me to welcome him personally?”
Slowly, he walked to the door and opened it, completely prepared to invite Soul Fighter in.
But the moment he opened the door, a figure lunged straight at him.
He felt someone grab him by the neck and, the next second, he encountered the sight of a face marred by blood and torn flesh.
Soul Fighter’s hoa.r.s.e voice rang in his ear, “Shen Liangchuan, did you let me down?”
Shen Liangchuan jumped in fright.
His eyes snapped open as he felt someone’s hand around the back of his neck.
He sat up at once and reached out to grip that arm around his nape, giving the person who was trying to lock him down a hard shove.
Thump.
Qiao Lian was pushed onto the ground with a painful thud.
She looked at Shen Liangchuan with a startled expression, caught compeltely by surprise. This wasn’t the outcome she had expected.
Shen Liangchuan had gone into the shower and she had lain down on the bed unable to sleep, thinking of everything that had happened in the day.
All along, he had kept what happened eight years ago away from her.
But she wanted to know what had happened.
She knew, when she realized he was taking too long in the shower, that he wasn’t willing to talk about it.
Hence, when he got out of the shower, she pretended to be asleep.
She heard him get into bed next to her.
There were many thoughts entangled in her head. She was confused and thought of many possibilities. Hence, during the celebrations, there were times that she almost broke down in tears.
She thought that if she couldn’t force the answer out of him, perhaps she could try some other ways.
Hence, she turned around and put her arms around his neck.
Didn’t they say that a man’s tongue would loosen after a bout of lovemaking?
Thus, she took action and put her arms around Shen Liangchuan, intending to s.h.i.+ft her body on top of him and proactively kiss him. However, he had snapped open his eyes and suddenly given her a hard shove.
Although the floor was thickly carpeted, right now, all Qiao Lian could feel was pain.
Not from the fall.
But because of his alarmed expression and the loathing in his eyes when he had pushed her away.
She widened her eyes in shock and curled her fingers into a tight fist.
