Su Yutang couldn't help but frown: "You are really hopeless."

She turned and walked away without giving me a good look.

Xiao Hengyu looked at her back, his eyes like a beast staring at its prey.

Su Yutang, you can't escape.

......

Tired of walking, Su Yutang sat in the greenhouse and read a book. She would rather stay here than be alone with Xiao Hengyu. After all, there were gardeners working here and servants walking around.

He wouldn't do anything in broad daylight or in front of others.

It was just that she hadn't slept the whole night before, so she couldn't concentrate on the film and soon began to doze off.

Xiao Hengyu sat opposite, his legs resting on the coffee table, playing with his lighter in a rogue manner. The sound of opening and closing the lid was particularly hypnotic.

"Tangtang, you know what?" he suddenly said, "I never had to chase girls before. They always threw themselves at me, but I looked down on them."

Su Yutang's eyelids drooped, and she felt drowsy: "Oh..."

"You're the only exception." The lighter snapped shut. "And the only one I want."

Su Yutang finally raised her head, but her brows were furrowed: "Why me?"

Xiao Hengyu didn't seem to expect this question. He put down his legs and leaned forward: "Because you are special."

Su Yutang's frown deepened. "If amnesia counts, then it's indeed quite special."

Xiao Hengyu smiled lightly and said to himself, "There was once a boy who, as far as he could remember, was abandoned by his father in a closed school."

Su Yutang frowned slightly. This was not the direction of the conversation she had expected.

Xiao Hengyu continued, "He could only see his father and mother one day a year. He thought he could go home if he behaved well. But when he was eight years old, he got the highest score in the school, and the result was..."

He paused, "But was thrown into no man's land..."

"It was a man-eating place, with wild beasts, poisonous insects, and extreme weather... He nearly died there countless times."

Su Yutang was stunned: "What happened next?"

"Later, of course, he made it out alive." Xiao Hengyu forced a smile without any hint of amusement. "At that time, he planned to tell his father how powerful he was, but in the end, he was thrown into a dark training camp again because his father wanted to train him to be a killer."

Su Yutang frowned: "Then he must not be his biological son. How can a father treat a little boy like this?"

Xiao Hengyu suddenly laughed, "You're right, he also suspected that he was not his biological child, so he went for a paternity test."

"Guess what, there really is no blood relationship. He's just an adopted son."

Su Yutang: "......"

This story came too suddenly, and Su Yutang didn't know how to respond.

For the first time, she saw a hint of fragility flash across Xiao Hengyu's eyes, but it disappeared in a flash, so quickly that she wondered if it was an illusion.

"Xiao Hengyu." She said softly, "I didn't expect your childhood to be so unfortunate."

Xiao Hengyu's body suddenly stiffened.

He slowly raised his head: "Did I say it was me?"

Su Yutang pursed her lips. It was so obvious, was there any need to say it clearly?

Xiao Hengyu chuckled to himself, his expression returning to calm. "If you say so, then so be it. But that's not the worst of it. What's even more unfortunate is that he doesn't even have a father. He was just a tool bred by someone using a random sperm from a gene bank and a random woman."

"After living for so many years, he realized that he was just an insignificant experiment. His family was fake, his identity was fake, and even his existence was designed. Everything around him was fake, nothing was real."

"...Maybe he has a family, but he's a real orphan."

Even including Su Yutang, the woman he fell in love with was someone else's...

He often felt that he had nothing and nothing at all.

Su Yutang's nails dug into her palms.

"So you kidnapped me? Imprisoning a woman with amnesia can fill your emptiness?"

Xiao Hengyu's eyes suddenly became sharp.

Sometimes, he didn't want Su Yutang to be too smart, so that even if she lost her memory, she could easily see through everything.

He did not refute, and Su Yutang became more certain of his guess.

"However, no matter how unfortunate your childhood was, it should not be an excuse for you to hurt others," she said.

Hurt, did everything he did hurt her?

He tried to argue: "Tangtang, I didn't kidnap you, let alone imprison you. I put you here and watched you 24 hours a day because I was worried about your safety, and more importantly, because you are the person I like."

"If I just want someone to fill my void, there are plenty of people lining up."

How could Su Yutang not see through his lies, she was just too lazy to expose him.

"By the way," he suddenly raised his eyebrows and asked, "Do you understand now why I chose you?"

Su Yutang shook her head.

Xiao Hengyu suddenly leaned forward and said, "Since I was born, no one has ever cared about my life. You are the first one."

Su Yutang frowned.

She had lost her memory and had no recollection of ever caring about the life of this paranoid man.

Xiao Hengyu's thoughts drifted away. "When I was injured in the no-man's land, you asked me how I was, helped me stop the bleeding, and fed me painkillers. Even though you knew I was a bad person, you still cared about my life or death."

Su Yutang asked in surprise: "I've also been to an uninhabited area?"

Xiao Hengyu nodded: "Well, not only that, you are also selfless when it comes to your friends. You care about everyone's life. You are the kindest person I have ever met."

"You even told me to be a good person. I've been a bad person my whole life, and you're the only one who's ever said that to me."

Su Yutang: "......"

That sounds like a saint. Was she really like that?

She suddenly looked up, looked at Xiao Hengyu and said, "Xiao Hengyu, can you let me go home?"

She leaned forward slightly, revealing her first genuine smile since being imprisoned. "I don't think you're that bad. If you just let me go, you'll be a good person!"

The air froze for a second.

Then Xiao Hengyu burst into laughter.

He laughed so hard that he even wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.

The smile on Su Yutang's lips froze instantly, and he only heard him say: "I told you so much, not to let you play tricks like this."

Su Yutang was about to speak.

Xiao Hengyu interrupted her, "Don't compliment me, I don't care whether I'm a good person or a bad person, all I want is for you to fall in love with me, no matter if I'm a good person or a bad person."

Su Yutang gritted her teeth and couldn't help but complain in her heart.

She is not crazy, how could she fall in love with a bad guy!

Xiao Hengyu stood up and instantly regained his cynical look: "It's a nice day today, do you want to ride a horse?"

Su Yutang looked at the man in front of her whose expression changed faster than turning the pages of a book, and suddenly felt powerless.

The sun was shining, the roses were fragrant, and she was trapped in this golden cage, unable to escape.
