Chapter 67: A Conversation by the Sea

  Leng Xuan drove me to the seaside in his sports car. As soon as I got out of the car, I took off my shoes and strolled along the beach. Since it was nighttime, there were not many people around, and being alone with the sea breeze felt really great.

  I turned around and looked at him: "Do you have something to say?"

  "Who exactly are you?" Leng Xuan asked coldly.

  "It's just the wind." I said with relish.

  "Really? Why couldn't I find any other information about you?" Leng Xuan looked at me with suspicion.

  I looked at him and slowly said: "A person without a past."

  "You don't want to say it now, I believe that sooner or later you will tell me." Leng Xuan said confidently.

  "By the way, why did I feel that you hated your grandmother?" I recalled his extremely cold gaze just now and asked in puzzlement.

  He turned his head and looked at me, sneering: "Grandma? Tool!"

  "Huh?" I looked at him in confusion.

  "Ye Ke'er's father is the most powerful person in Asia aside from the six major families, and my grandmother wants me to marry her so that she can unify the world."

  "That way you can rely on her family's power to help you, but you don't like her and don't want to get the world because of that. You want to rely on yourself, right?" I continued his words.

  He didn't speak, just nodded: "Why aren't you afraid of me?"

  "Huh?" I looked at him strangely.

  "Everyone is afraid of me, even my grandmother doesn't dare to look straight into my eyes. They say that there's a terrifying chill and aura in my eyes." He said coldly.

  I turned around and looked at him: "I don't know either, maybe there's some reason!"

  "Oh!" He spat out a word and then sat down on the beach.

  I walked over and sat down beside him: "So you brought me to your home for this reason and want me to play a role?"

  "I think you're special, you're the only one who dares to look me straight in the eye. There's also a kind of feeling on you that I can't express, being around you makes me feel inexplicably at ease." He said calmly.

  "If I'm not mistaken, today should be your most talkative day, right!" I looked at him curiously.

  He turned around and looked at me seriously, saying: "Be my girlfriend."

  "Ah?" I looked at him incredulously: "Why me?"

  "Because you are the only one who can change me, don't you think?" he said slowly.

  I looked at him in confusion and slowly said: "Sorry!" After that, I lowered my head.

  "Why? Everyone wants to get close to me, but you don't?"

  "They are them, I am me!"

  "Haha! That's why I said you're special." He smiled easily, but his eyes betrayed a hint of sadness.

  I suddenly stretched out my hand and touched his head. I don't know why I did that either. He looked at me in confusion, but I ignored him and continued to touch his head.

  "You're the second person who has touched my head." He said slowly.

  "Who's first?" I put down my hand and asked him.

  "My mom." Sorrow welled up in his eyes once again.

  I curiously asked: "What about your mom?"

  "My dad killed her, he gave her to someone else for the sake of the family business, and when my mom refused, my dad killed her." He said indignantly, with tears actually welling up in his eyes.

  I stared at him incredulously, feeling guilty in my heart. I thought he should be reluctant to mention this matter, otherwise why would the legendary cold-blooded person cry? I hastily said: "Sorry!" My head also gradually lowered down.

  He looked at me with a sadness in his eyes that I had never seen before, and surprisingly without any coldness, he slowly said: "Can you hug me?"

  I was stunned for a moment, but still walked up to him and knelt down. He looked at me in surprise, I looked into his red eyes, and suddenly had the urge to hug him. Unconsciously, I opened my arms and hugged him tightly. For the first time, I actually opened my arms to a boy I had known for less than a day, I didn't know what was wrong with me, why I wanted to hug him so much. I whispered in his ear: "Treat me as your mother!" He was stunned for a moment, but still hugged me back and burst into tears in my arms. He cried very lightly, but I could feel that he was in great pain and sadness. After a long time, exhausted from crying, he fell asleep in my arms. I put him down beside me, sat on the beach, and admired the vast ocean under the starry night sky. Looking at the beautiful night, I thought of Ye, and I really missed him.

  I said in a low voice: "At night, didn't we agree to call each other every day? Why haven't you called today, are you going to forget about me?" I suddenly felt a thread of fear, afraid that he would abandon me. It was only then that I realized that he had already taken deep root in my heart, sprouted, bloomed and borne fruit.
