Chapter 220 (1/2)

<hr>

Yan Tianhen felt his heart turn cold. He was so anxious that he wanted to cry and plead, but he couldn’t say a single word. He just made “” sounds, his throat so ruined that his voice sounded like sandpaper rubbing against the ground, terribly unpleasant to hear.

Lin Xuanzhi left swiftly with his back to Yan Tianhen, like a disappearing paper kite.

He scrambled up to give chase desperately, so desperately, yet Lin Xuanzhi just kept walking farther and farther away…

In the end, he was exhausted from chasing after him and wanted to give up, so upset that he wanted to die. Yet, within an instant, Lin Xuanzhi stood in front of him again.

Hope lit up in Yan Tianhen immediately.

However, what Lin Xuanzhi said next threw him straight through the gates of h.e.l.l —

“Get lost .”

“Ah Hen, it’s alright now…it’s alright, don’t be afraid…” A gentle and familiar voice traveled into his ears. Yan Tianhen opened his eyes, muddle-headed, and saw the one stroking his cheek with a distressed expression on his face — Lin Xuanzhi.

Distressed?

Yan Tianhen felt a bit dazed. His whole body was both cold and achy, and he felt dizzy as well. It was all a little difficult to bear.

“Dage…” As soon as Yan Tianhen spoke, he sounded like he was sobbing. He burrowed into Lin Xuanzhi’s embrace, thinking that he was still dreaming. He pleaded, “Don’t abandon me, Ah Hen knows he’s wrong, don’t leave Ah Hen alone, I didn’t want Daddy to die, I’d rather that I was the one who died instead…sorry, Dage, I’m sorry…don’t ask me to get lost, I don’t want to go…”

How could Lin Xuanzhi have expected Yan Tianhen to mention Lin Zhan’s death? He was stunned and immediately rea.s.sured him, “Dage won’t leave you alone and I’ll never let you go again in the future. Behave…”

But Yan Tianhen continued bawling. He wanted to scratch his face, but his whole body was locked firmly in Lin Xuanzhi’s embrace with even his hands shackled.

Lin Xuanzhi could feel Yan Tianhen burning all over. He only thought of all the benefits that the medicine rain would bring to Yan Tianhen but didn’t expect that he would have to bear this much pain and regretted what he had done.

If he had known earlier, if he had known earlier…

Lin Xuanzhi suddenly took a deep breath and clenched his fist.

Lin Xuanzhi gently coaxed Yan Tianhen for awhile. Yan Tianhen fell sound asleep again after he exhausted himself from crying and making a fuss.

He slept for a whole day and night, during which Yuan Tianwen and Duan Yuyang had come over to see how Yan Tianhen was doing before being driven away by Lin Xuanzhi. As for the rest, Lin Xuanzhi frankly declared that none of them were allowed to approach them. Even Shen Rubing, who wanted to visit several times, was turned away — Lin Xuanzhi had set up a magic tool outside so that no one could easily come in.

Yan Tianhen only woke up the next night.

Actually, day and night were not distinguished in this mountain. The strange moon was always hanging high up in the sky, and the color of the sky remained a b.l.o.o.d.y pale yellow.

Yan Tianhen opened his eyes. Hiswas clear and his entire body felt relaxed. Several blocked meridians seemed to have been dredged overnight as well.

However, his attention wasn’t on any of that. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Lin Xuanzhi, who was holding him in his arms.

Yan Tianhen stammered a little, “W-why are you with me?”

Lin Xuanzhi asked, “Where do you think I should be otherwise?”

Yan Tianhen felt like something seemed to be off with Lin Xuanzhi, but he couldn’t tell exactly what it was. His heart, which had gotten a fright, settled down, and his temper rushed straight to his head. He glared at Lin Xuanzhi, “Why were you hugging me? We have nothing to do with each other anymore, and we’ll be walking our own paths from now on!”

Lin Xuanzhi walked towards him.

Yan Tianhen took two steps back.

“Walk our own paths?” Lin Xuanzhi stopped. “Do you really think that way?”

Yan Tianhen’s neck stiffened. “It’s not like it could be fake?”

Lin Xuanzhi nodded. “Okay.”

Yan Tianhen was about to say something when his whole body suddenly felt tight — he couldn’t move any of his limbs. After looking down, he realized that he had been tied up tightly with a rope!

Yan Tianhen, “…”

Isn’t this too d.a.m.n over the top?

What did Lin Xuanzhi want to do?

Could it be possible that he wanted to hang him up on a tree to give him a good beating?

“What…what do you want to do?” Yan Tianhen barely summoned enough courage to glare at Lin Xuanzhi and asked.

However, his confidence was lacking.

Lin Xuanzhi walked over, lifted his hand and gently pinched Yan Tianhen’s chin. He smiled. “Ah Hen, ever since I sobered up, I would think that I’ve never done anything to let you down. I would think of you whenever I encounter something good and have always prioritized you in everything. I spoiled you, protected you, and did my utmost to get stronger so that you’ll be able to do as you please and do whatever you want. Did Dage not treat you well enough?”

Yan Tianhen didn’t expect that Lin Xuanzhi would say all that. He was stunned for a while, finding it a bit difficult to speak, because everything Lin Xuanzhi said was true.

What was their disagreement about?
