Chapter 176 - 176: He Won’t Let Go (2)
Mo Linyuan laughed meaningfully and looked down at Bai Xianyu. He held her shoulders gently with both hands.
From Xie Xingyun’s point of view, the two of them seemed to be hugging.
Bai Xianyu frowned. “Mo Linyuan?”
Mo Linyuan asked her seriously, “Xianyu, do you like me?”
The mountain wind howled, but Xie Xingyun still heard it clearly.
His heart constricted slightly, and he walked uncontrollably towards the two of them.
Bai Xianyu was not surprised that he thought so. She had already thought of an answer. “I…”
Before she could finish speaking, a strong force came from behind and pulled her into his arms.
Bai Xianyu looked up in the man’s arms and said in surprise, “Xie…”
Xie Xingyun carried her and bumped into a tree. The hand on her back was abraded by the cracked bark and bled. He bent down and held her shoulder. He was clearly smiling, but his eyes were pathetic and pitiful. “You what?”
Bai Xianyu tried her best to put some distance between them. She realized that something was wrong with Xie Xingyun, making her panic. She did not even remember that Mo Linyuan was around.
“You like him too?”
“I don’t—”
Bai Xianyu wanted to defend herself, but Xie Xingyun suddenly lowered his head and kissed her. Her open red lips gave the man a chance to invade, and the rest of her words were stuck in her mouth.
The girl’s punches were useless to him. Xie Xingyun kissed her quickly and urgently. He held her waist tightly, as if he was confirming her existence. His hands were locked on her head, not giving her any chance to escape.
In the past, he had thought that he was the one who had let her down. Then, he would be punished to lose his love forever and die alone. He could silently stay by her side and even watch her get married.
It was only today that Xie Xingyun realized how simple he had thought.
He could not tolerate her being touched so easily by another man.
Could he really watch her fall in love with another man and get lost in a kiss in another man’s arms?
Xie Xingyun’s eyes were bottomless as he said hoarsely, “Since you don’t want to forgive me, then hate me.”
‘Hate him, then.’
It was better than nothing.
Bai Xianyu’s body was held by the man to suit him. Tears streamed down her face as she was kissed. Her face was completely red, and her vision was blurry.
She had lost all her strength, and her struggles were getting weaker.
Mo Linyuan slowly approached, narrowed his eyes, and punched Xie Xingyun in the face.
The man’s head deviated a little from the force. Bai Xianyu took the opportunity while Xie Xingyun was being hit to take a deep breath and crawl out.
Xie Xingyun nudged his cheek. The bone-cracking pain spread on his face, causing him to feel numb.
He wiped it hard and turned his head to see Bai Xianyu suddenly pounce on Mo Linyuan.
At the same time, an arrow pierced through the wind and pierced her chest.
Blood immediately spread from that spot, dyeing her white dress a dazzling red.
Xie Xingyun’s pupils constricted, “Little Yu!”
“Xianyu!”
Li Dan and the others, who had come to look for the three of them, happened to see this scene.
Li Chun was instantly frightened out of his wits. “Oh no, oh no. Who has the guts to try to assassinate Bai Xianyu?!”
Li Dan and the others walked over quickly with grave expressions.
Bai Xianyu was helped up by Mo Linyuan and immediately choked on a mouthful of blood. Her lips were pale and her eyes seemed to be a little lost, but when she saw Mo Linyuan, she actually smiled.
Mo Linyuan’s heart was filled with shock as he hugged her, not knowing what to do. His brows were tightly furrowed.
But in the next second, Xie Xingyun snatched Bai Xianyu from his arms. His expression was terrifying as he quickly rushed down the mountain.
“Seal off this place immediately.”
Li Dan’s expression was solemn as he immediately replied, “Alright.”
Bai Xianyu propped up her heavy eyelids and fell weakly into his arms, her slender arms hanging down.
Xie Xingyun’s hands were trembling as he hugged her. Although he tried his best to keep his voice calm, his fear could still be easily sensed when he spoke. “Don’t be afraid, Little Yu. 1 won’t let anything happen to you.”
Bai Xianyu’s eyes were half-closed, and a hint of coldness flashed across her face. She was slightly stunned and looked into Xie Xingyun’s eyes.
They were completely red. His eyes were about to pop out, and the corners of his eyes were already wet.
“Are you… crying?”
Xie Xingyun did not retort. His voice was trembling. “1 owe you tears in my previous life, but I’ve returned them all in this life.”
Bai Xianyu’s heart suddenly ached. It was unknown if it was because of the arrow wound or something else.
“Nothing will happen to you.” Xie Xingyun kissed her forehead comfortingly. His face was pale. “You have to stay and torture me. It’s best if you torture me for the rest of my life..”
