C17 (1/2)

I cried for a long time, a long time …

In the dream, I saw my parents again, crying and shivering as they told me how cold they were. For a moment, I also felt like I was cold, cold, like I was in a freezer.

After a while, they desperately tore at their clothes and shouted at me in pain that they were so hot, so hot, and for a moment, I also felt that I was hot, like I was on a frying pan.

Afterwards, I seemed to see Huangfu Ming striding majestically towards me, pulling me into his ice-cold embrace. I wanted to struggle, but it was useless. He pressed the back of my head, forcing me to lean into his embrace.

He was tall, and I was only about his chin.

I heard his thumping, thump.

My heartbeat and Huangfu Ming's heartbeat blended together as they played a beautiful melody.

I raised my head to look at him, but met the gaze of Chu Yibai, who also lowered his head to look at me.

He pushed me away, his hands on his chest.

It was unknown when a huge hole had appeared on his chest. It was empty, without a heart, only spurting out fresh blood.

He stared at me in despair, as if asking me why, as if I were the one who had gouged out his heart.

In my hand was a heart that was still beating with fresh blood dripping with steam, Chu Yibai's heart.

I woke with undried tears on my face. The pillow was wet and my eyes were swollen shut.

Huangfu Ming is a ghost. He originally didn't have a heartbeat, so is this dream telling me that Huangfu Ming stole Chu Yibai's heart and replaced it?

Or perhaps the one who took away Chu Yibai's heart was me, because even if I woke up from my dream, I still clearly remembered the look in his eyes when he was staring at me — I couldn't believe it, but I had no choice but to believe it.

After confirming that there was nothing wrong with my body, Chu Yibai called for the aunt and driver to accompany me to the hospital, but he didn't come.

My heart was lonely and guilty, so I decided to confess to Chu Yi Bai.

The uneasiness and guilt in my heart transformed into countless nightmares that corroded my nerves. I was afraid that if one of my nerves was broken, I would go crazy and even harm Chu Yibai. I didn't want that to happen.

It was still night, the same cold night. The clock pointed to 12 o'clock, but Chu Yibai still had not returned.

I turned on the light and waited for him to come home, hoping that he would see the lights of the house in the distance and not get lost, that no matter how late it was, he would be able to watch the lights of the house go home, go back to my heart, and take me into his heart.

The clock said 12: 05, and at last I heard the sound of a white car pulling into the house in front of the house.

When he appeared at the bedroom door, I could smell the pungent scent of alcohol on him again.

Why?

Not long after getting married, he became depressed like a lovelorn, his entire body exuding an estranged and sad aura.

”Yibai, why are you drinking again?” I stepped forward and held him.

”Whose is the child?” I didn't expect him to ask me directly.

His body was frozen in place, and his hands, which had not supported him yet, were forcefully suspended in the air.

The air thinned, as if it had been swallowed up, dwindling, making it hard for me to breathe.

”Whose is the child?” He stood in the doorway, one hand pressed to the bedroom door, one hand hanging down, his head not lifted, his face hidden by his disheveled hair.

I couldn't see his expression, but I could tell he was trying to hold something back.

I said in a low voice, ”The child is Huangfu Ming's, and my first time was also his …”

I know it's cruel to say it, but I don't know what else I can say at the moment. I'm not good at lying.

Sure enough, Chu Yubai's body began to tremble violently. It was as if he was crying, but also as if he was trying his best to restrain his anger.

I looked at him and my heart ached to the extreme. My tears burst once again, ”Yi Bai, I'm sorry, I …”

I stepped forward, trying to support him.

However, Chu Yibai seemed to have seen something extremely disgusting. When he saw me take a step towards him, he actually took a step back and placed his hand on the door frame.

”Yi Bai, I told you this very early on. You just didn't listen. What do you think? Now you finally believe it, right?”

A woman in red gently walked out from behind Chu Yiping. It was that ghost lady with her black hair, but her current appearance was elegant and charming, without the slightest hint of fear. She lightly smiled as she supported Chu Yiping's body.

”Shut up!” Chu Yibai shouted.

I seem never to have heard of him in a rage, in my impression, he has always been a good temper, gentle, smooth as the moon.

My heart pounded.

The ghost lady's face was deathly pale. Perhaps she had been frightened by Chu Yi Bai, but her hand that had supported Chu Yi Bai moved back as if it had been electrocuted.

She looked at me and viciously said to Chu Yi Bai, ”Chu Yi Bai, I'm so good to you. Why are you doing this to me? Did you forget what you told me before, that you loved me, that I was the only one in your life, and that you fell in love with another woman just after this one? I hate you, and I also hate her. This time, no matter what you say, I will kill her. ”

This time?

Could it be that many times she tried to kill me, she was stopped by Chu Yi Bai?
