The atmosphere in the room suddenly shifted from the lighthearted banter to a quiet and subtle one.
"Because you're different."
Xuan Hao casually tossed the leftover fruit pits into the trash can, pulled out a tissue to wipe his hands, and his tone became unusually serious.
“I’ve been thinking about you for so many years. Ever since you were just a little grass, I’ve been feeding you with my life force and soul power every day. Although you’ve only really regained consciousness for a few years, I’ve invested so much time and energy in this matter. I really care about you.”
Ah Yin was even more puzzled: "But... you already have so many girls around you who are devoted to you. Qian Renxue, Ning Rongrong, and that Na'er who is so obedient to you. With them, why are you still so fixated on me, a married woman?"
"Um……"
Xuan Hao touched his chin, his eyes becoming somewhat profound.
"You might not believe it, but the real reason behind it... is actually quite selfish and rather dark."
“Rongrong and the others are indeed very close to me now. They dote on me and we’ve done all sorts of crazy things in private.”
"But the problem is, they haven't really grown up yet. People's hearts can change in this world."
"Who can predict the future? Maybe one day, their family's interests will fundamentally conflict with mine; or maybe they'll suddenly have a brain fart, feel they've been wronged, and break off all ties with me and abandon me?"
"I'm the kind of person who's easily swayed by gentle persuasion but not by force, and I value my reputation the most."
"If that day really comes, I will absolutely not lower myself to beg them to stay."
"Human hearts are too complicated. Especially women's minds, it's like guessing riddles. I really don't want to, and I'm too lazy to, gamble the rest of my life on something so uncertain."
Xuan Hao suddenly changed the subject, his gaze fixed intently on A Yin's eyes:
But you are different.
“You’ve already died once, experienced the despair of losing everything. And…”
“You don’t even have a physical body now, only this wisp of spirit attached to my blood and qi. To put it bluntly, you are in a half-dead state right now.”
“You have no family ties to weigh, and you have no way out. With just a little manipulation, I can keep you firmly in my grasp.”
Xuan Hao leaned forward slightly, his voice low and full of control:
"You can't leave me. I can exert absolute control over you directly through your physical body. Even if you have a thousand reasons not to, even if you hate me to the core..."
"At the very least, you have to stay by my side obediently."
After listening to Xuan Hao's extremely selfish, even somewhat perverse, analysis, Ah Yin looked at the handsome young man in front of her and felt a chill run down her spine.
Her expression was strange, even somewhat incredulous: "You... how come your thoughts are like those of a child who is extremely insecure and only knows how to use force to snatch toys?"
"So what?"
Xuan Hao lay back down, put his hands behind his head, and hummed nonchalantly.
"In this world, who isn't a child struggling to satisfy their own desires?"
"I'm just too lazy to bother with all that fancy pretense. I also admit that the absolute control I want might seem childish and extreme to you self-proclaimed mature adults."
Xuan Hao stared at the ceiling, his eyes clear, without a trace of confusion or self-blame.
"But so what?"
“I never deceive myself. My goal is always clear—whatever I set my sights on, I will hold onto it firmly in my own hands, no matter what means I use or what others think.”
Chapter 345 Good appetite, not picky about food
……
Faced with Xuan Hao's undisguised, even morbid, analysis, A Yin stared at him for a long time.
Then, she sighed softly.
Strangely, after hearing these extremely selfish remarks, Ah Yin did feel a deep sense of exhaustion, but at the same time, her long-tense nerves miraculously relaxed completely.
She was exhausted because she finally realized a reality: the stubborn, domineering guy in front of her, who acted according to his own set of rogue logic, had no intention of listening to her lectures.
The reason for the relaxation is the same—this guy really has no intention of being reasonable anymore.
Since he's being unreasonable, she doesn't need to rack her brains trying to figure out how to refuse or escape anymore.
In this cage woven by the man's tyranny, she had no other choice.
She had only two paths before her: either accept him slowly, or accept him even more slowly.
This is Xuanhao's style of doing things.
He wouldn't force her to submit immediately like a beast, but he would absolutely, positively not allow her to leave, much less watch her accept someone else.
To put it bluntly, he's got his eye on her.
At this poker table, either he wins her back with interest, or he flips the table, leaving no one with her.
This is a twisted desire for control taken to its extreme.
But it cannot be denied that, to some extent, this distorted desire for control is also a kind of protectiveness that is obsessive to the core.
He claimed her as his own territory, guarding her like a dragon guarding its treasure. He would go mad if anyone else even glanced at her, so how could he possibly bear to actually hurt her?
Having figured this out, Ah Yin's last bit of resistance and defensiveness suddenly vanished.
She stood up, her blue skirt swaying gently, and walked to the bedside.
Xuanhao remained in the position with his hands behind his head, staring at the ceiling.
Seeing her approach, he raised an eyebrow, about to say something.
next second.
Ah Yin sat down on the edge of the bed, then reached out and cupped Xuan Hao's head in her hands, moving him closer to her before gently placing his head on her long, soft thighs.
Xuan Hao froze completely.
Although he is usually audacious and dares to say all sorts of vulgar things, that is only because Ah Yin keeps resisting and dodging.
Now that Ah Yin has suddenly "taken the initiative to throw herself into his arms," his heart, which is used to all kinds of storms, actually skipped a beat for the first time.
Moreover, the texture feels incredibly realistic.
Although Ah Yin is currently only a wisp of spirit, she has been nourished by Xuan Hao's vast and violent blood and qi.
In this private space belonging to Xuan Hao, thanks to the resonance of their shared blood and qi, her current state is almost equivalent to a "pseudo-physical entity".
She could not only touch him, but even the softness of his thighs, the silkiness of his skirt, and the unique herbal fragrance of his spirit body were all transmitted to Xuan Hao's senses without reservation.
Xuan Hao was a little confused. He blinked and stared blankly at the gentle and beautiful face above him.
"What...are you doing?"
This was the first time that President Xuanhao had ever stammered while speaking.
Ah Yin lowered her head and looked at Xuan Hao, who was lying on her lap, having let down all pretense and defenses.
Those azure eyes no longer held the arrogance of the competition field, nor the morbid desire for control they had just displayed; only a hint of astonishment and confusion remained.
Ah Yin couldn't help but chuckle softly, a smile that carried a hint of helplessness and a touch of relief.
"Now I see it."
Ah Yin reached out, her long, slender, fair fingers gently running through Xuan Hao's short silver hair, her movements as gentle as if she were soothing a frightened large feline.
"You may appear fierce and invincible on the surface, but deep down, you're just a child who is extremely insecure and afraid of losing things."
Ah Yin looked into his eyes and said, word by word, "You're starved for love."
Xuan Hao's expression shifted slightly, but he did not refute.
"Before, in order to get me to stay, you made up all sorts of lies, saying that you were a pitiful wretch who lacked love. At the time, I just thought it was an excuse and reason you made up to deceive me in order to achieve your goal."
Ah Yin's fingers slid down his hair, gently stroking his temples. "Now it seems you have a very clear understanding of yourself. You really do have self-awareness."
Feeling the warm touch on his head, Xuan Hao squinted comfortably and snuggled into A Yin's arms like a lion being stroked, finding an even more comfortable position.
"When have I ever lied to you?"
Xuan Hao muttered something, then retorted with a strange expression, "Although I don't have a good reputation, I never lie. If I lack something, I lack it; if I want something, I want it. Is it necessary to joke about something like this?"
Ah Yin didn't stop what she was doing and continued to gently comb his hair.
She looked at Xuan Hao, her voice soft, yet seemingly able to strike straight to the depths of his soul:
"You need love. You need lots and lots of love to fill the bottomless hole in your heart, to prove that you have been firmly chosen and will not be abandoned."
"But you don't really care what form this love takes. Is that right?"
"Whether it's the possessive romantic relationship between you and Rongrong and Na'er, or the comfort I'm giving you as an elder or a companion... it doesn't really matter to you."
"As long as you feel enveloped and accepted, as long as this feeling belongs to you, you should accept it all, right?"
Xuan Hao fell silent.
A long silence fell over the room. Only the soft rustling of Ah Yin's fingers through her hair echoed gently in the air.
He neither admitted nor denied it.
Because Ah Yin was right. His demands for affection were like a starving person facing a table full of food. He wouldn't care whether the dishes were sweet or salty; he just wanted to scoop everything into his own bowl and protect it tightly. Anyone who dared to take it would be bitten to death.
Seeing Xuan Hao's silent expression, A Yin felt a pang of sadness and heartache for no reason.
A top genius whose strength is enough to make him stand out on the entire continent, yet his heart is as barren as a desert.
Ah Yin sighed softly, her movements becoming even gentler.
"understood."
She lowered her head, and an unprecedented gentleness and tolerance appeared on her gentle face.
"Since you want it so much... then I'll give it to you later."
Xuan Hao suddenly opened his eyes and looked at her in disbelief.
Ah Yin met his gaze without flinching, and smiled frankly: "However, let's get this straight from the start."
For now, all I can offer you is this kind of comfort and companionship.
Ah Yin gently tapped Xuan Hao's forehead with her finger, her tone carrying a hint of warning and compromise:
"As for those...shady little games that Rongrong and Zhuqing play with you, I can't do that. Forget about it now, don't even think about pushing your luck."
Xuan Hao was stunned for a long time after hearing Ah Yin's words, which were half promise and half warning.
