556 Blissful Boy (1/2)

”The reason why I faked my death is...”

Speechless looked straight into Shi Xiaobai's eyes and had a solemn expression. With a serious tone, he said, ”Because I do not trust anybody.”

Shi Xiaobai was alarmed when he heard that. He was flabbergasted.

He never expected to hear such an answer. He had once tried to guess Speechless's reason for feigning his death. He had also guessed that he had done so due to a necessary goal, or had even speculated that Speechless had done it on a whim to leave people speechless.

Shi Xiaobai had all sorts of guesses on this matter but he never expected the reason to be—he did not trust anybody?

Speechless did not seem like such a person.

At least, from Shi Xiaobai's point of view, although Speechless was a little narcissistic and speechless-rendering, contact with him made others feel his honesty and sincerity. He was like a sun that would occasionally be glaring and hot, but he was always filled with positive energy. He was a righteous youth who was highly spirited and in his prime!

However, Speechless claimed that he did not trust anybody? Didn't this mean that he had always been treating them with suspicion? Then, could all his honest feelings, sincerity, and positive energy be faked?

At that moment, Shi Xiaobai was surprised to realize that he had never known Speechless.

Could it be that this was the real Speechless Li?

Shi Xiaobai did not make any hasty conclusions. He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, ”This King doesn't understand. You said that you do not trust anybody. Does the anybody here refer to everybody in this world or a particular group of people? What has faking your death got to do with the people you do not believe in?”

Speechless did not answer and instead remained expressionless during a long silence. He looked straight into Shi Xiaobai's eyes and suddenly said, ”Once upon a time, there was a blissful boy...”

Shi Xiaobai was taken aback slightly but his expression immediately turned even more serious. Speechless liked to divert topics when speaking and spoke in fairytales. However, this time was different. Shi Xiaobai's keen senses felt it.

Speechless suddenly looked up into the night sky as a wistful look flashed in his eyes. Following that, he lowered his head and gave a self-deprecatory smile. He turned to look at Shi Xiaobai and the corner of his lips widened to give a strange smile.
