……

The room was dimly lit, and the outside light flickered and refracted, casting distorted shadows. The surroundings were so quiet that even breathing sounded like muffled thunder.

Bai Kang swallowed hard; at that moment, he truly understood what it meant to feel a chill run down his spine.

Imagine, in the dim darkness, a pair of scarlet eyes staring at you. Who wouldn't be bewildered? Who wouldn't be afraid?

He almost did a somersault and chanted "Hurry, hurry, as the law commands!" to forcefully suppress the demons and monsters with his supreme cultivation.

"You're finally awake."

Mai Xiaowen's voice rang out in the darkness.

As Bai Kang realized who the person in front of him was, his heart sank.

How so?

Mai Xiaowen's voice was so eerie, like a ghost coming to claim a life.

"Little Wheat, why did you take the data-throwing knife...?"

Bai Kang muttered something under his breath, his eyes fixed on the data throwing knife that gleamed with a cold light. His body was tense, and he wanted to make sure he could dodge it the moment it showed any sign of falling.

Mai Xiaowen glanced at him, and luckily, at that moment a ray of light shone through the curtains onto Bai Kang's face, allowing her to clearly observe every micro-expression of Bai Kang.

She suddenly laughed, a laugh that was absolutely beautiful and breathtaking.

Are you scared?

Nonsense! The first thing I saw when I opened my eyes was you holding a knife to me. How could I not be scared?!

Bai Kang roared inwardly, but he didn't show his emotions at all.

The Mai Xiaowen in front of him was clearly not normal; the crazy energy emanating from her was almost suffocating him.

"No, no way! You're my girlfriend, how could I be scared?" Bai Kang was worried, but on the surface he appeared calm and composed.

"Hehe..." Mai Xiaowen let out a strange laugh, "Girlfriend... Haha, then..."

She suddenly leaned in close, her scarlet eyes only a foot away from Bai Kang's black eyes.

The latter could clearly see his own trembling gaze reflected in those ruby ​​eyes.

Mai Xiaowen parted her red lips slightly, and a wave of ambiguous heat washed over Bai Kang's face.

"Then why did your boyfriend lie to me?"

Bai Kang was startled; his heart pounded wildly, and he was caught in a mental storm.

Did I deceive the wheat?

What did the wheat actually know?

A possibility vaguely surfaced in Bai Kang's mind, but he dared not think about it too deeply.

The next moment, a pair of icy little hands reached into his chest, and Bai Kang felt a chill, as if an ice cube had been stuffed into his chest.

"Your heart is beating so fast," Mai Xiaowen said softly. "Are you scared? Heh, aren't I your girlfriend? Are you scared of me? Why? Are you hiding something?"

Bai Kang's heart pounded. Although Mai Xiaowen in front of him was as alluring as a fox, what was hidden in her smile made him tremble.

"No, no way, how could I lie to you, ah—"

Bai Kang wanted to make a final struggle, but as Mai Xiaowen suddenly exerted force, the force made his face turn pale. He felt that he probably had one of his ribs broken.

"Even now, you still want to lie to me." Mai Xiaowen smiled coldly, revealing a bitter smile tinged with self-mockery.

She was currently straddling Bai Kang, a position from which it was impossible for her to leave easily unless Bai Kang harmed her.

Normally, Bai Kang would really like this pose, as it gives off a queenly, mature vibe. But right now, he just thinks of Mai Xiaowen as a vengeful ghost coming to claim his life.

"What am I in your eyes?" Mai Xiaowen uttered a sentence devoid of any emotion, "A plaything? Or something else to amuse you?"

Bai Kang twitched his lips, wanting to defend himself, but Mai Xiaowen's next three words made him feel as if he were standing on the edge of an abyss.

"Say, I, De".

Bai Kang felt his heart stop suddenly. His face turned pale in the dimly lit room, and his guess finally came true.

Exposed?

But why?

Why did Xiaomai suddenly discover my identity?

The incident happened suddenly, and Bai Kang was completely unprepared for Mai Xiaowen's relentless pressure.

Mai Xiaowen kept a close eye on Bai Kang's expression, so Bai Kang's micro-expressions were fully revealed to her.

"What? Now that things have come to this, you're not even going to defend yourself?"

Bai Kang smiled bitterly.

Now that things have come to this, it seems the other party is still 90% confident. How can he possibly defend himself?

Or rather, what is the point of making a defense?

As long as he stays with Mai Xiaowen, his true identity will be exposed sooner or later.

However, this day came unexpectedly to him; he wanted to leave more beautiful memories in Mai Xiaowen's heart before revealing his true feelings.

"I've said it before, Said is someone I must kill." Mai Xiaowen said hoarsely, slowly raising the data throwing knife.

Her profile, partially obscured by stray hairs, was reflected on the data-carrying blade made of titanium alloy.

Bai Kang slightly opened his mouth.

He had so much to say.

He wanted to say that he had no idea it was subspace; he thought it was just a dream. He wanted to say that he didn't want to deceive you, but he didn't know how to explain it. He just wanted to wait until later, and then he would confess. He wanted to say that it was a huge misunderstanding, and he had been trying his best to make amends.

Finally, he only felt a wetness on his face.

These are... tears, tears born of inner turmoil and pain.

He caught it.

A tear rolled down Mai Xiaowen's face.

He suddenly didn't want to say anything anymore.

This famous and promising national goddess suffered so much because of him that she even developed mild depression.

What could he possibly say? Saying more would only cause Xiaomai more pain.

In the end, he still fell in love with Mai Xiaowen.

"Fine, she deserves it all, let's just consider it a debt we owe her."

I fell in love with your eyes.

The blade flashed.

Swift as the wind, fast as a shadow, it swept down with a whistling sound.

……

Bai Kang opened his eyes and looked down at Mai Xiaowen, who was lying on top of him, her body trembling uncontrollably.

Beside his head, a data-carrying knife pierced through the wooden plank of the bed.

In the end, Mai Xiaowen softened her heart after that last act.

Bai Kang's eyes were filled with complex emotions. He showed no relief at surviving the ordeal, and a hoarse voice rose from his throat.

There are only three words.

Why?

Why did you show me mercy? You clearly hate Said to the core, you clearly said you wanted to tear him to pieces, you clearly...

The girl curled up, her disheveled hair concealing all her emotions.

Sobbing accompanied by painful wails, sorrow tore at Bai Kang's heart like a knife; every low sob of Mai Xiaowen was like a cut into his heart.

"Get out," she whispered, her voice devoid of any emotion.

"Wheat..." Bai Kang wanted to say something.

"Get out!" Mai Xiaowen roared, staring intently at Bai Kang.

Perhaps it was the tears that made her red eyes even more alluring.

Bai Kang remained silent for a long time.

He finally staggered to his feet, clutching his chest, and walked step by step toward the door.

In the current situation, Mai Xiaowen needs some peace and quiet, and so does he.

In the end, he left only one sentence.

"Wheat, believe it or not, my feelings for you are more than just sincere."
