Ye Shengge endured the pain and frowned, letting him in deeper.
Ji Shiting gritted his teeth. He knew he should push her away, but he couldn’t bear to do so.
“Shiting, you know… I approached you to get rid of the birthmark on my face.” Her eyes were filled with tears, and her voice was broken because of the pain. “But now, I… I want to get rid of the birthmark for you.”
Ji Shiting pursed his lips and swallowed hard. He didn’t say anything or move.
“I’ll have to face what’s already happened sooner or later,” she mumbled. “Without the past, I don’t have a future. Although those things seem to be hidden away deeply, who knows when it’ll suddenly e out and give me a fatal blow… I’d rather take the initiative, even if the process is painful. I can only be with you after I get rid of this hidden danger.”
“Ye Shengge.” He called her name. “Since you’re so determined… What if I tell you that you’ve killed someone before?”
“What?” Ye Shengge was so shocked that her body relaxed.
Ji Shiting grunted and left, although he couldn’t bear to do so.
He hugged her and frowned. “You were kidnapped by a human trafficker before. You had a knife when your parents found you, and you killed him yourself.”
Ye Shengge’s mouth fell open, and she couldn’t say anything for a long time.
“Of course. That human trafficker deserved to die,” the man said and kissed the corner of her lips. “You don’t have to blame yourself at all. But I don’t want you to remember that scene either.”
He could almost imagine how terrified that innocent and weak girl had been.
The woman leaned against his chest with a pale face, as if she was trying to digest the news. She didn’t say anything for a long time.
The man looked regretful.
He couldn’t help saying it out loud, but it was hard for him to accept it even if he heard it from others.
Not to mention recalling those scenes.
“Can you forget about this from now on?” The man kissed her fortingly.
“I… I didn’t know I was that strong.” She forced a smile, but her face was still pale.
“That’s right,” Ji Shiting said, as if he couldn’t tell how weak she was. “If you weren’t that strong, you might’ve been trapped under a mountain for the rest of your life.”
Ye Shengge nodded and snuggled into the man’s embrace.
Ji Shiting swallowed hard and said, “Sleep.”
She blinked and fell silent for a while. She then looked at him and said, “I’m not done yet.”
Ji Shiting’s pupils contracted.
“I haven’t given up yet.” She bit her lips, looking determined. “I’m not afraid, Shiting. I won’t regret it.”
The man tightened his grip on her waist.
“It doesn’t sound like I’ve been hurt much, so why should I be afraid?” She smiled. “I clearly defeated the bad guy.”
Ji Shiting moved his lips as if he wanted to say something, but he stopped himself.
“Did you know, Ji Shiting? I’ve been lonely all my life.” Her eyelashes fluttered. “Until I met you and fell in love with you.”
