Translator: 灵芝11

Dancing on knifepoint, whether the steps were light or heavy, she would eventually felt the pain spread from the tiptoe to every part of her body.

Huo Xiu wanted to cry, but she still smiled. “Uncle, I see.” She wouldn’t get close to Huo Yijun. In fact, she had never thought of getting close to him. She had the terrible feeling of not being trusted, and her grief also became the pain.

Shouldn’t she be not sad after getting used to being sad? Why did the sadness grow stronger and stronger each time? Eventually it became the pain that made the heart throb.

At this moment, a surge of hatred flowed through her blood, just like the wind blowing past. She wanted to catch it, but it was untraceable.

“Remember to smear a little mud everyday going forward. No display of your beauty is good for you.” Huo Lang looked at her ordinary face with satisfaction. He began to believe the words “A white complexion is powerful enough to hide seven faults”. With such an ordinary face, no one would notice her.

Huo Lang left. Only the lonely Huo Xiu was left in the moonlight. She was so cold that she couldn’t help wrapping her arms around her body and trembled in the darkness. As she gazed at Uncle’s receding figure, her eyes gradually blurred with tears.

The world in front of her began to become grotesque and diversified.

“You’re crying, Xiu…” Huo Yijun stood behind her, stretching out his hand in the air. He wanted to put his hand on her shoulder, but he clenched into fists and hung his hands. It was all because of him that she became like this.

Huo Xiu slowly turned her head to the other side and saw him. Tears were running down her cheeks and strips of white lines were shown on her face, just like the white lines suddenly appeared on the black earth.

“What a dirty face!” He cupped her face and gently rubbed it with his white sleeves. How did it happen? Why did Uncle do this to Huo Xiu? Was it because they were too close?

He wanted to wipe off the mud from her face. As a result, he got it more and more dirty.

Huo Xiu waved his hand aside. For the first time, an indifferent look appeared on Huo Xiu’s face. “Please…don’t come near me again.” She stood up and went to the house, walking, then running.

His white sleeves were muddy, just like Xiu’s heart was overshadowed by him. He had never hated himself so much!

He liked her, would it spell disaster for her?

From that day on, they became estranged. Huo Xiu no longer smiled at him, nor did Huo Yijun tease her. Even if they met head-on, Huo Xiu would avoid him carefully while Huo Yijun would stood there staring blankly for a long time.

Her face had been muddy and dirty all along, and the smile faded away from her face because she already understood the grief. The students and teachers in school also gradually alienated her.

Only Wen Ziyang remained a friend to her as always. They went to school and returned home together everyday. The love letter was not mentioned again, just like the wishing bottle submerged in the sea.

Huo Xue became more and more happy for she was the most beautiful princess now with incomparable arrogance. She was a princess in school and also a princess when she was at home. She had everything. She had an uncle who loved and cared her and an elder brother who made her proud in all aspects. These two men disturbed the balance of her feelings.

She wanted to get all they have rather than their kinship.
