483 The Imitation that Vanished (1/2)

Infernal King's chamber

Shi Xiaobai was lying in bed with his eyes tightly closed while he remained unconscious.

Sunless was sitting on a chair beside the bed. Her eyes were dull as usual, but her gaze was on Shi Xiaobai's face, having not left it for a prolonged period of time.

The Infernal Queen lay languidly on a sofa in the distance. Her eyes were closed as she had dozed off.

As time passed, the chamber remained silent with only the occasional sounds of breathing heard. No one moved, as though they were three petrified statues.

Suddenly, the corners of Shi Xiaobai's eyes twitched lightly.

No matter how minute the change or how ephemeral or fleeting it was, nothing could escape Sunless's eyes. A glint flashed in her dull eyes as the corners of her mouth moved but she did not make a sound. Her hands were clenched into fists but she did not get up.

Instead, it was the Infernal Queen who leaped up and landed beside the bed after sensing the change in Shi Xiaobai's breathing.

”Darling!”

”You've finally awakened!”

During the long three days, the Infernal Queen would only occasionally take a glance at him. Yet, at that moment, she showcased a worried look as if she had been arduously waiting all this while. Sunless glanced at the Infernal Queen without any expression. Her gaze was slightly cold but she did not say a word.

The Infernal Queen gave Sunless a provocative glance, and just as Shi Xiaobai was slowly opening his eyes, she lunged her face over.

Therefore, the first thing to enter Shi Xiaobai's vision was that gorgeous face.

Shi Xiaobai blinked his eyes gently.

The Infernal Queen gave a coquettish smile as she uttered, ”Dar...”

The intimate and passionate address came to a halt because Shi Xiaobai had heartlessly turned away and looked at Sunless.

Sunless's mouths twitched slightly, but not a sound came out of it. It was not that she had nothing to say, but that the things she wanted to say were too much for her. It left her at a loss as to what to say.

The two gazed at each other for a moment when Shi Xiaobai's gaze suddenly landed on her shoulder.

Sunless's expression changed slightly.

”Sorry.”

Shi Xiaobai's gaze turned slightly gloomy as he whispered. His voice was hoarse and deep.

Despite having lost control of himself, he still had a tiny bit of his consciousness left in him. Even though he did not completely remember what had happened, he still clearly remembered the intolerable pain that he experienced at the instant when he stabbed the girl's soft shoulders with his hands.

He had nearly ripped off her arm, hurting a girl he should not have hurt at all.

Sunless faltered slightly and said with a shake of her head, ”Not you.”

The 'Shi Xiaobai' that injured me isn't you, so why is there a need for an apology?

Shi Xiaobai sighed, but he did not speak any further.

Even if it was an instant, he could still see a worry that quickly disappeared in her eyes.

Compared to the lingering fear of having nearly lost her arm, she was more concerned about the blame he felt from the remnant memories he had. However, the ineloquent her could not say something beautiful to relieve him. All she could say were the two words, ”not you”.

”Yea.”

Shi Xiaobai tersely answered as a smile that came from the bottom of his heart suffused from the corners of his mouth.

He could not blame himself, else she would blame herself.

”Yea!”

Sunless answered with a solid 'yea', as she felt relieved.

The Infernal Queen rolled her eyes. Seeing Shi Xiaobai ignore her and 'yea'-ing with Sunless, she immediately found it meaningless as she turned to walk towards the sofa.

At that moment, a knock came from the door. Pulp Farmer and Feng Yuanlin had inquired if they could enter.

”The third wheels have come just in time.”
