8 Xue Huans Hear (1/2)
Chen Wei was stunned for the sudden burst of Shi Mei. He stepped back, trying not to compare of what also happened to him few years ago. But it flowed in his mind, he was unjustly accused and nobody listened to him. He was a criminal in their Kingdom, no matter how he defended himself, explained that he never did it and plead for his innocence. Everyone was deaf and turned a blind eye to him.
Wen Zexi knew that Chen Wei was reminded of what happened to him.
”Calm down, my lady. You don't need to go this far-”
”Come on, I know you're waiting for this moment. Should I do it by myself?”Shi Mei snapped out boldly.
It was beyond her patience anymore. She also had a problem, stuck here. And she still couldn't believe of what happened to her. Yet now and then, Chen Wei and Xue Huan would confront her.
Xue Hua walked towards Shi Mei, and hand out his sword to her.
”Here.”
Gong Yan also stepped forward, aware of the tension around Shi Mei and Xue Huan.
”Why?Are you afraid now?”Xue Huan said with his serious look.
”Stop this.”Wen Zexi advanced and stood in between of the two.
”Move.”Shi Mei remained still, too ironic for her, she was so brave a while ago yet she could not even speak now.
”Xue Huan.”Wen Zexi protested as he stared at Xue Huan. But he moved aside, he knew that Xue Huan had a reason.
”Then should I do you a favor? I can end your life if that is your wish-”Chen Wei knocked the sword.
”Enough. After all, you need her.”
”He needs me?What do you mean?” Shi Mei came back to her senses, ignoring her tampered pride.
”You.”Xue Huan spoke with vehemence but Chen Wei quickly hid at the back of Gong Yan. Wen Zexi chuckled as he approached the little boy.
”How about a snack, little boy. I mean, Dak-Ho.”the little boy bobbed his head and clutched Wen Zexi's clothes.
”Hey, what do you mean by that?”Shi Mei kept asking while they were returning in the residence.
”You might be the remedy of Xue Huan's-Ack!”Xue Huan seized Chen Wei's ear and pulled him away from Shi Mei.
”You're hiding something from me. You couldn't kill me because you need me-”
”I don't need you.”
”I hope so but your friend just revealed it.”
”You're delusional.”
No one noticed it but Gong Yan just curled his lips into a small smile. He watched the three, Chen Wei was now even defending Shi Mei from Xue Huan.
”Look at them.”Gong Yan glanced at Wen Zexi.
