Xu Siyan came out of the shower, her body still steaming.

Looking at the girl sleeping soundly on the sofa, Xu Siyan couldn't help but sigh at how carefree she was, daring to sleep so peacefully in his room.

It seemed like he was being sarcastic, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly.

As Yun Yao slept, she rolled over, turning away from the edge of the sofa...

Xu Siyan quickly grabbed her waist and pulled her close.

Because of the way the blanket was positioned, it was left on the sofa, and the girl, wearing only a shirt, lay comfortably in his arms.

Her shirt wasn't fully buttoned, and her delicate, fair skin was visible through the collar.

The scent emanating from her body... was also very pleasant, unlike the unpleasant smell he had previously experienced.

It wasn't just that she smelled good; her aura practically urged him to possess her.

Hmph, Xu Siyan chuckled self-deprecatingly. When did he become the kind of guy who's driven by lust?

He threw her onto the sofa and covered her from head to toe with a blanket.

Then, something occurred to me...

Xu Siyan took out a first-aid kit from the cabinet and cleaned Yun Yao's foot wound.

Her slender, jade-like hands felt somewhat awkward as she picked up things she used to hold.

But even if he can still handle these things, even a scalpel... so what?

When his brother died, he, who was holding the scalpel, also died.

The one who survived was the other person who would take over the legacy of the Xu family's eldest son.

As long as he still bears the surname Xu, he will never hand over the Xu Group to someone else.

the next day.

Yun Yao woke up groggily, only to find the sunlight blinding.

Bright and dazzling? No, no, that's not right.

[Damn system, didn't I tell you to wake me up earlier?]

[...Uh, sorry, the system's attention was on Xu Siyan, so I forgot to wake you up.]

[...]

Thinking of Xu Siyan... Yun Yao quickly threw off the covers and changed her clothes.

Where is Xu Siyan right now?

[The study...was badly beaten.]

[He was so arrogant outside, but as soon as he entered the Xu family's old mansion, he seemed to have lost all his martial arts skills.]

[Because everyone, including himself, believes he owes them a life...and this is how they punished Xu Siyan when he was a child...]

What a fool!

What does he owe them?

If you were beaten as a child, you should be more rebellious when you grow up.

Yun Yao didn't care whether anyone would see her coming out of Xu Siyan's room. She wanted to get Xu Siyan out of this hellhole immediately!

Pushing open the study door... Xu Siyan was in a much worse situation than he had imagined.

He lay sprawled on the ground, his back covered in whip marks, the wounds stuck to his shirt. The shirt was mottled like an oil painting, the whites turning whiter and the crimson redder. His wet hair, stained with blood, hung down in front of his forehead.

The injured hand was now being trampled and crushed on the ground by He Qing.

He Qing muttered viciously, "It's just a project, what's wrong with giving it up? You bastard, you're just deliberately going against me, aren't you!"

Yun Yao's heart was pounding in her throat.

She rushed over and shoved the person aside...

But his hand has already been severely damaged.

He Qing was shocked that Yun Yao had the audacity to barge into the study. "Yun Yao, how dare you come in here without my and the old man's permission!"

Yun Yao was furious. She opened her phone and played the video she had recorded last night.

"I've already scheduled to send this video to the media reporters' email addresses, and I've also sent a copy to my father. If I don't get home safely, you can expect your shameful deeds to be exposed!"

Not only He Qing, but even the usually expressionless old man revealed a sinister look.

However, they really couldn't do anything about Yun Yao.

The father-in-law and daughter-in-law were having an affair, and it was even a high-definition video.

It's leaked out; nobody's going to be ashamed.

The old man waved his hand, telling Yun Yao to take Xu Siyan and get out of here.

Yun Yao didn't dare to stop for even a moment. She supported most of Xu Siyan's body and desperately helped him walk out.

Only after getting into the car did Yun Yao ask Xu Siyan if he had any other injuries besides the superficial wounds.

The content of the problem wasn't the most important thing; the most important thing was that she was afraid he would fall asleep.

What if he really gets hurt somewhere, and it's serious, and he falls asleep and never wakes up again?

Xu Siyan twitched the corner of his mouth and gave a mocking smile.

"You must find me disgusting and pathetic now."

"Are you disgusting?" Yun Yao didn't know why Xu Siyan would think that way.

"They are the disgusting ones, they are the pathetic ones. If you blame yourself and think that you shouldn't be the one living, then let me tell you, it's all fate. Blame fate, it's not your fault."

Since the car accident, no one has ever said anything like that to him.

I never told him that he was not wrong; it was fate that was wrong.

They drove out of the Xu family's old house and took the person to the hospital.

Yun Yao was covered in sweat.

I was exhausted, but even more so, I was terrified.

Lying on the hospital bed, letting the medical staff do whatever they wanted, Xu Siyan turned her head to look at Yun Yao beside her, wondering whether Yun Yao's face was covered in more sweat or tears.

But the scalding tears or sweat... falling on his soft heart in his left chest, made it almost impossible for him to breathe.

"You idiot, it's him who got hurt, not her. Why is she so nervous and upset?"

Seeing Xu Siyan in this state, Yun Yao still managed to laugh. "Hey! You still have the mind to laugh? If it weren't for me, I don't know if your hand would still be here!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Siyan slowly raised her hand and touched Yun Yao's face, her voice weak, "Don't cry, it won't look good if you cry."

If it weren't for the fact that this person's hand was injured, Yun Yao would have slapped it away directly.

"It's all your fault. They hit you, didn't you fight back? Do you think you're still a child?"

Xu Siyan's lips twitched, trying to laugh, but the laugh looked worse than a grimace. "Actually, it's nothing, just a superficial injury."

"But we can't just let those lunatics beat us up. They're sick, but are you sick too?"

Yes, actually he's also sick; he enjoys self-harm. The more pain he experiences, the happier he is...

But if Yun Yao found out, would she also call him crazy and run away?

No.

Absolutely not.

Before, he could restrain himself and give up at any time, but now he can't.

The little rabbit jumped into his arms on her own, so he would never let her go.

"It won't happen again."

In the past, he didn't care about his physical condition; on the contrary, the more pain he felt, the more satisfied he felt, as if he had atoned for some of his sins.

But now, seeing Yun Yao heartbroken for him, his heart aches even more.

Hearing Xu Siyan's seemingly relieved words, regardless of whether they were true or not, Yun Yao rushed over and gently hugged him.

"I still love you as a puppy, but it's okay. Your future will be happier, healthier, and more joyful than the past, and someone will love you forever."

Will... someone love him forever? Is that person her?

Xu Siyan's ears turned red, and he reached out to pull her into his arms.

Lu Zhiyu, who had come looking for her, happened to witness this scene.
