Chapter 287: He Loved Him More Than He Hatred Him

Translator: Storm in a Teacup

The evening wore on and Si Yuhan stared at Ke Ruan’s face, his eyes being very bright in the darkness.

Therefore, it was true that he promised not to abandon him for the first time, and he had never lied to him.

It was just that he was too weak at that time, so he was unable to fulfill his promise.

On the day he was sent away, he had appeared. Even if he disobeyed the Emperor, he still ran out of the place where he was imprisoned.

He didn’t dare to imagine what kind of punishment Ke Ruan had received afterwards.

Lin Qingye told him that for so many years, Ke Ruan often had nightmares, which were filled with remorse for him. He hadn’t slept through the night for a long time, and even couldn’t fall asleep all night.

Therefore, he was not the only one who was torturing himself every day and night.

Si Yuhan’s fingers on his legs were curled. Ke Ruan had fulfilled the promise that he would protect himself well and not abandon him again.

But after he returned to Red Flame Country, what had he done to Ke Ruan?

He had him cast into a dungeon, separated him from his sister, forced him to sign the agreement, and even… raped him at the time.

Si Yuhan looked at him and his body started to tremble. How did he treat Ke Ruan in those days?

He looked quiet fierce and threatened him.

Why was he unwilling to spend some time figuring out the truth of that year?

What was he thinking about at that time? Was it hatred for Ke Ruan? Because of hatred, no matter how much he loved Ke Ruan, he couldn’t face up to what had happened that year. He was also unwilling to find an answer. It was all his fault.

To put it bluntly, he was just cowardly. He didn’t dare to face it, and he also didn’t trust Ke Ruan.

Just because Ke Ruan had abandoned him once in Yuliang County, he had distrusted Ke Ruan completely from the beginning and refused to even give him the opportunity of explaining it.

Si Yuhan’s heart ached again and again. He clenched his fists in an attempt to relieve the bitterness in his heart. A deep roar came from his throat, like a beast’s painful growl.

After the wave of pain disappeared, he was then very glad that he didn’t let the hatred clouded his vision. Fortunately, his love for Ke Ruan finally purged the unforgettable hatred and betrayal.

In the darkness, the occasional red light became particularly dazzling.

Ke Ruan was awakened by hunger. Before he slept, Si Yuhan went out and said that he was going to get something for him to eat, then he fell asleep while waiting for him.

After all, he hadn’t had a good night’s sleep for such a long time, together with encountering such a dangerous situation that he had a hard job to sleep well like this.

However, until he was awaken from hunger, Si Yuhan still didn’t come to ask him to have the meal. When he woke up, he only felt there was a deep blackness in the tent and the sound of breathing beside him.

He knew who this person was without thinking.

Si Yuhan was just sitting in this way like a piece of wood. He was starving but Si Yuhan was still in a daze. ‘Damn you.’

Ke Ruan asked angrily, “I’m hungry. I want to eat something.”

Si Yuhan’s voice was a little hoarse, adding a sense of mystery in the night, which shocked Ke Ruan.

“Guards, bring the porridge in.”

The flap of the tent was quickly thrown back, and while the firelight outside flooded in, Ke Ruan saw clearly the look on Si Yuhan’s face, as if he was enduring some great pain, which was about to explode.

Si Yuhan took the porridge that the soldiers had brought in and a delicate fragrance spread in the big tent.

He carefully checked the temperature before lifting the spoon of porridge to his mouth. Just as Ke Ruan was about to eat it by himself, Si Yuhan said toughly, “You’re injured, so let me feed you.”

This situation was not accidental, and there was no need for Ke Ruan to reject it, but… why did he feel that Si Yuhan looked a little strange tonight?

Anyway, no matter how strange he was, he was still Si Yuhan. It was impossible for him to become anyone else.

Ke Ruan, who was focused on having the porridge, missed the flicker of scarlet in Si Yuhan’s eyes, which was dazzling and full of danger.

“Have you had enough?”

Ke Ruan nodded. He had been hungry for too long that he was lacking of appetite. Luckily, what he had was the porridge.

“Does it hurt?”

Although Ke Ruan didn’t see clearly the expression on Si Yuhan’s face, he could know the worry in his words. He shook his head, “It doesn’t hurt, don’t worry.”

“That’s right, the army medical doctor said that the wound caused by the arrow wasn’t deep, so you’ll recover after having a rest for a few days.”

Ke Ruan raised his head to look at him. “Why do I feel that you sound very disappointed since I wasn’t seriously injuried?”

Si Yuhan’s voice was extremely gentle. “No, I’m very happy.”
