1028 The Childish, The Bright, And The Ordinary I (1/2)
Ye Hongyu turned around and left the moonlight scattered on the terrace behind her. Her pale face regained a little color under the shadow of the night. She looked at the Hierarch quietly, but a myriad of thoughts crowded into her mind.
Xiong Chumo also looked at her quietly. Seeing her elegant figure outlined by the moonlight and her beautiful face, he once again confirmed that she was no longer the little girl he was familiar with, and he was somewhat angry.
Ye Hongyu was not surprised or angry while seeing him, revealing no expression on her face.
Xiong Chumo became even angrier because of her calmness. It unsettled him that his ugliest and most evil behavior in the past was now uncovered, but he was also puzzled and frustrated by her calmness. He would rather see that the Great Divine Priest of Judgement was enraged than know that she never took him seriously.
”What did you say to the Abbey Dean?” he asked.
Ye Hongyu didn't answer, and just looked at him.
When Xiong Chumo was silent for a moment and suddenly laughed, revealing a distorted pleasure on his ugly and old face. He said, ”You are afraid of me.”
Ye Hongyu still kept silent.
”Of course you are afraid of me.”
There was a faint glimmer s.h.i.+ning in the depths of the eyes of Xiong Chumo, and his voice trembled a little due to excitement, ”You can't forget what happened to you in the past. When you found out it was me, you were too afraid to get revenge, because you didn't want to relive your most painful experience.”
Ye Hongyu asked calmly while staring at him, ”Why should I be afraid of you?”
Xiong Chumo turned pale slightly. He didn't understand her question. Isn't it obvious? Even if you are not afraid of me now, that poor little girl who had thin legs back then was definitely afraid of me.
His breathing became heavy, his eyes were stained with a b.l.o.o.d.y flush, and his voice trembled. ”After you discovered the truth, you must have been angry and puzzled. You must be wondering why I, the Hierarch, would do that at the risk of irritating Ye Su. Actually I didn't even know the answer myself. Maybe I was jealous?” Looking at the moonlight falling on her hair, he was fascinated by her beautiful face.
Ye Hongyu replied calmly, ”I am not interested in those things.”
”Not interested?”
Xiong Chumo was stunned, and said incredulously, ”You are not interested in these? That thing happened at the time when the Abbey Dean travelled to the South Sea and Ye Su went into the human world to experience the life-and-death struggles after coming back from the Wilderness. Don't you want to know why I did all that?”
Ye Hongyu answered without any expression, ”You played a children's game while my brother was away. What more do I need to know?”
Xiong Chumo glared at her, and an extremely terrifying breath of destruction came out of his thin body. He opened his arms and said in amazement, ”Children's game?” His voice became a bit sharp and unpleasant to hear, full of anger and unbelief.
”Children's game?!” He repeated loudly, ”You think that was children's game? You cried so hard back then! You were asking for Ye Su, but he never came to rescue you. You have been suffering for so many years. I don't understand why you still pin your hope on that useless man. Ye Su can't save you!”
Many pictures kept flas.h.i.+ng in Ye Hongyu's mind, stirring up the depths of her eyes. Then the pictures gradually disappeared and her eyes regained their normal indifference.
How could she ever forget that event? If she could, she wouldn't have tried to kill Chen Pipi when he saw her bathing in the Taoist temple back then. If she could forget, why would she never care that others saw her body? Wasn't it because she subconsciously thought her body was already dirty? But it didn't matter even if she couldn't forget it.
She looked at Xiong Chumo and claimed, ”I am not those crazy professors in the Revelation Inst.i.tute. I am not interested in your mental state. I don't care if you are jealous of him, mentally ill, or just want to fawn on the Abbey Dean.”
Xiong Chumo stared at her beautiful face and said, ”That is not a children's game!”
Ye Hongyu stared at his ugly face and replied, ”But you are a child.”
Xiong Chumo was extremely thin and much shorter than ordinary people, which was the reason why he had been hiding behind the radiating screen and making his shadow tall and big.
Back then, he irrationally and frantically molested Ye Hongyu when she was still a little girl, which might have something to do with his mental illness.
Ye Hongyu said calmly, ”I know what you want. You want to see me sad, angry, and desperate, and you want me to feel ashamed for not being a virgin anymore. But you won't get these from me, because I don't want to play this children's game with you.” She said children's game again.
