33 Aftermath (2/2)

”Want a taste?”

He looked at her, smiling happily.

”Mhmm~”

He scooped a spoonful of the soup and blew on it twice before feeding it to Qiu Yue.

At first, she smiled mischievously but as soon as she tasted it her eyes turned into a pair of crescent moons.

”Omo!”

His eyes glowed as his expression screamed 'Praise me! Praise me!”

”It tastes amazing!”

Qiu Yue swung her legs back and forth as he continued to whip things up for her, giving her a taste here and there, stealing a taste of her lips sometimes.

They both talked and laughed, comfortable within the warmth of the sunset and each other's company.

When it came to dessert, seeing the cheeky girl sitting like a proud king while he cooked for them, Huo Zi Feng crept closer to her with a hand behind his back and quickly sprayed whipped cream onto her nose.

Seeing her surprised expression with a white nose she looked like a reindeer. She squeaked in shock before grabbing for the bottle of cream. As they went back and forth, soon there was cream flying all around the kitchen.

Finally, they both couldn't stop laughing as they looked at each other.

The cream had landed on Huo Zi Feng's head, two perfectly shaped triangles. He looked like the perfect proud kitten Qiu Yue had always wanted.

Bao FeiYin was let off in consideration of the attempts she had made to help Qiu Yue. By choice, she decided to move to another country.

Chiang Jin, though dissuaded by Bao FeiYin, decided to follow her over.

Bao FeiYin felt that she was meant for more but she didn't want to look for it here anymore, she knew that whatever she'd felt was destined to her would no longer be the same if she stayed here. So, with her skills and ideas, she left to start anew in another country.

Chiang Jin has no reason to leave, but he wanted to be with Bao FeiYin just a bit longer, and this time they would start as friends, all over again. Perhaps what he felt for her before hadn't been the deep feelings he had seen between Qiu Yue and Huo Zi Feng. But he wanted to see where this relationship between Bao FeiYin and himself could lead to.

Bao FeiYin looked at the stubbornly determined man standing next to her at the airport.

”You might not like all that you see. This time you'll be getting to know the person I really am.”

”If I never try, I'd forever regret it. I want to get to know you.”

She sighed but his words remained firm.

When Qiu Yue heard of this, she also sighed in response. But then she thought, perhaps they could have the life they hoped for.

As for what happened to Wang Xi...

He was first convicted according to police procedure but due to his connections with the underworld, he was soon escorted to a secret location so the government agents could extract more information from him. The people on the higher positions already had been given orders to make his life as hard as possible. The only reason he had even been able to keep breathing was because of the information he may possess.

However, within a week, Wang Xi was found dead. There were self-inflicted scratches all over his body, as though he'd been clawing in pain.

Unbeknownst to anyone, his biggest regret had been not knowing what his killer had meant with the last words he'd ever hear.

”A main character's soul is worth a lot of energy... and so is the main antagonist's...”

No one would understand how he'd died. In fact neither had Wang Xi been able to. All he knew was that it felt like someone was breaking down his soul into tiny pieces, nothing he could've done would have helped him.

And thus Wang Xi's very soul had disappeared from this world, never to be seen in this or another world again.
