Chapter 88 Fork in the Road ([-])
Xia Xingchen was stunned, and his heart rate suddenly jumped a beat faster than usual.

"I know what you are thinking. Logically speaking, I should support you. I will support you in anything you want to do, but not this time. I can't do it."

Luo Fanxi released Bai Yin's fist. He put one hand around Xia Xingchen's shoulders and the other around her waist.

"Even if you hate me, I can't let you get hurt at all, do you understand?"

Xia Xingchen turned to look at Luo Fanxi in astonishment, then quickly looked away when he met his eyes as dark as agate stones.

But at that moment, it glowed faintly in the dark, like a firefly that could only be found in the night. Maybe it was because she had been alone for a long time, but she always felt that this embrace was very warm, but -

The underworld belief she grew up in taught her that she could not rely on anyone, and that only by becoming mentally strong could she protect important things.

She held Luo Fanxi's arm and then moved away. She told herself that she could not keep that warmth for long, or she would fall.

"Why do you care about me so much? Is it because of my brother?" Xia Xingchen glanced sideways slightly, raising the corners of her mouth with a sharp edge in her eyes.

For a moment, Luo Fanxi didn't know how to answer. She just looked at Xia Xingchen. She was the same now as when she met him in the cherry blossom forest.

Arrogant, proud, vigilant, inaccessible, without any shortcomings.

No matter what happened or how long it took, she didn't change at all. It was undeniable that she was strong, both physically and mentally.

The reason why I went to [Blood Cherry] to bring Xia Xingchen back was because she was Xia Xichen's sister. If she was someone who had nothing to do with Xia Xichen, Luo Fanxi already had the answer in her heart, and she would definitely not save her.

Since he was young, he had been hiding everywhere to avoid assassinations. Living one more day was a luxury. After his mother passed away, he tried every means to feed himself. In order to fill his stomach, he did the work that poor people often do in this hell on earth, snatching food from wild dogs.
Many years later, living in a seaside villa, surrounded by maids and butlers, the best red wine and Western food, and the mahogany table covered with gifts and banquet invitations from noble ladies, he still would not forget that period of tenacious life. Days to come down.

emotion?

For him, it's like a thick fog, confusing and unpredictable.

He is also a little afraid of contact with that kind of thing, although it is illusory.

"Sure enough, it's because of my brother." Xia Xingchen calmed down.

"So, you want to take care of me and care about me because of my brother, but what about your own reasons?"

Xia Xingchen looked at Luo Fanxi, wondering what he would answer and what he was expecting. It was really strange.

This conflict in her heart made her breathless.

"I'm going back. I'll fight next time." Xia Xingchen wiped the blood from the broken corner of her mouth. She no longer wanted to stay in the same space with him for one more second.

Baiyin next to him looked at him inexplicably. He didn't know what happened. Did they seem to be quarreling?
It feels like their contact is not like that of brothers, but a bit like lovers who are at odds. Thinking about it, it is impossible. It is impossible for him not to know when Luo Fanxi turned his back.

Xia Xingchen had already walked away. Bai Yin looked left and right. He coughed lightly and then looked at Luo Fanxi.

"You made her angry?"

"I don't know." Luo Fanxi held his forehead.

"Aren't you going to explain it?"

"There's nothing to say." Luo Fanxi walked to the flower stand, grabbed the little black cat on the ground and left without saying hello.
