How could Luo Chao, with his temper, tolerate being shouted at?
But he couldn't help but think of Shangguan Yunduo's hysteria when she learned the whole truth, because of Shangguan Yunxin's passing.
At least, it was clear that Shangguan Yunduo really cared about Shangguan Yunxin, and she's doing this to avenge her sister.
Going further...
In a way, it was indeed he who 'killed' Shangguan Yunxin, and this was an undeniable fact.
Luo Chao left without a word, dragging his seriously injured body out of the study, out of the Shangguan family estate, driving towards the city.
With the healing function of the Power of Water, as long as he wasn't dead at the ti, no matter how seriously injured, he could recover using that miraculous energy, but...
Can the wounds in the heart recover?
Many things, when they exist, you find so ordinary, even annoyed by their existence, only to realize how important they were once they're gone.
Just as he used to be annoyed with Shangguan Yunxin.
At the Four-Faced God Base, she stood in front of him without hesitation, using her body to block Sha Wei's attack...
At the hotel, she pulled out a wad of cash, saying sothing about paying him to stay with her...
After that bloody battle under the sea, when he was helping her with breath, she unexpectedly kissed him...
Now, these have all beco mories.
Unfortunately...
Everything is too late.
There's no going back!
Most importantly, her passing was facilitated by his own hands!
Love?
He was very sure he loved Qin Qingyu, Zhao Fei'Er, Yan Qingyu, Song Ke'Er, and even Su Hui, but with Shangguan Yunxin... perhaps not to that extent yet.
But one thing was certain, even if it hadn't turned into love, there was at least so fondness.
But...
That girl completely vanished under his Silver Needle, never to return.
Hate?
Actually, he initially hated Shangguan Jun, and at one point wanted revenge against the Shangguan family.
But after hearing Shangguan Jun's words, how could he really harbor such hate?
This problem needed solving, and the solution required a sacrifice—who should be sacrificed?
From Shangguan Jun's position, he wouldn't want to sacrifice anyone, so he could only asure by family interest—what did Shangguan Jun do wrong then?
If there was soone Luo Chao could hate, soone to transfer his anger onto, it might make him feel slightly better.
At least, he could work towards avenging Shangguan Yunxin by destroying the person he hated.
But now...
There wasn't even a target for his hatred, and there was no place to vent the pent-up anger in his heart!
"Han Feng, where are you?" Luo Chao dialed Han Feng's phone.
"At work, where else could I be?"
"Co out for a drink."
"What?!"
Han Feng thought he heard wrong, exclaiming, "Bro, I'm at work, what's gotten into you?"
"Have a drink with ," Luo Chao repeated.
"Did sothing... happen to you?"
"Are you coming or not?!"
"I'll be there!"
Han Feng sensed sothing was wrong and imdiately said, "Send the address."
When Han Feng arrived at the place Luo Chao ntioned, a private room in so restaurant, Luo Chao was pouring alcohol into his stomach, with several empty bottles on the table.
He also noticed Luo Chao's shirt was bloodstained, his face as pale as paper.
"Luo Chao, what... happened to you?!" Han Feng exclaid in shock.
"Co, have a drink."
Luo Chao casually tossed over a bottle of liquor, raised the one in his hand, and smiled, "Don't ask so many questions, just drink with ."
He wasn't soone who easily succumbed to despair; he had experienced many hardships, and his disposition was actually very steadfast.
But...
Since integrating with the remnant soul, there had been changes in his emotions.
The key was he couldn't find a target for his release: if Shangguan Yunxin had been killed by an enemy, his heart wouldn't feel so empty. But... Shangguan Yunxin vanished at his own hands.
One can imagine how painful it was for him.
Perhaps alcohol could make his heart feel a bit better?
He didn't use Inner Qi to dissolve the effect of the alcohol, and being seriously injured without recovery, he crazily gulped down the alcohol.
Han Feng had only drunk a little over a pound of liquor, while who knew how much Luo Chao drank before finally collapsing onto the table, unconscious...
After an unknown period, Luo Chao woke from his stupor.
Suddenly!
He alertly flipped over, only to feel a sharp pain in his head.
Where was this?
Judging by the surroundings, it should be a hotel room.
This was an executive suite; he was lying in the bedroom, with a living room outside.
"You're finally awake," a girl quickly walked in.
"Yezi?"
Luo Chao patted his head, saying, "I... wasn't I drinking with Han Feng? Why am I..."
Ye Yuanyuan gave a wry smile.
He was indeed drinking with Han Feng, but he drank himself into a stupor, and Han Feng sent him to a nearby hotel after the company called him for sothing.
What now?
There were only a few people familiar with both Han Feng and Luo Chao, and the only female among them was Ye Yuanyuan—girls tend to be better caregivers.
So, he called Ye Yuanyuan to co over.
"What exactly happened?"
Ye Yuanyuan sat on the bed, took Luo Chao's hand, looked into his eyes, and softly said, "I'm the closest to you, aren't I? No matter what happens, you should share it with , right?"
Luo Chao's lips moved, and after a mont, he murmured, "Though I didn't love her, I at least... had so affection for her, and yet I killed her with my own hands."
"What?!" Ye Yuanyuan exclaid in shock.
Even if it hadn't reached the level of love, there was at least affection, and he personally killed such a person—it's hard to fathom the depth of his sadness.
Perhaps, this childhood friend was the only one with whom Luo Chao could completely open his heart.
Just like his various unspeakable secrets in Europe, which even Han Feng and Qin Qingyu didn't know about, hadn't he told Yezi everything?
One listening, one speaking.
"Finished?" Yezi asked, staring at him.
"Finished."
"Do you rember what you told ?"
mories flashed back to that sudden upheaval experience, Ye Yuanyuan said softly, "You told , that my biological parents' car accident wasn't sothing I caused on purpose, it was just an accident. What about you? Did you intentionally kill Shangguan Yunxin? It was an accident too, wasn't it? Moreover, this wasn't a normal death, her mory just disappeared, Shangguan Yunduo is Shangguan Yunxin after all."
"They just share one body; they are not the sa person!" Luo Chao said painfully.
"No matter what, the point is, you didn't do it on purpose, this too is an accident."
Ye Yuanyuan tightly held his hand, saying, "Moreover, you told not to dwell in the past but to care about those around you—Shangguan Yunxin is gone but you still have many people around, those you care about and those who care about you!"
Looking into her eyes as bright as stars, sensing the concern in her words, Luo Chao's heart gradually began to brighten...
