229 “After Fast Traveling and Sleeping with the Villain” World 7, Substitute Lover (40) Part 1

After drinking a large amount of water, Chi Yu spoke loudly.

“Xue Dehui must have told you about our family’s background.”

“My hometown is in Jinghe.”

“My grandfather came to Jinghe to take refuge during the war, met my grandmother, and finally settled there.”

Taking advantage of Chi Yu’s pause, Xue Xue asked, “Have you known that Xue Dehui was investigating you?”

Chi Yu did not deny it, but Xue Xue remained silent.

The man’s background seems to be more unusual than she thought. The kind of control that seems to have everything in his hands is like the Five Finger Mountain of Tathagata Buddha. No matter how powerful Sun Wukong is, he thinks he has reached the end, but in fact it is just a few bounces in the palm of his hand, and nothing can come out of the roll.

But she quickly put aside the unspeakable feeling in her heart, cheered up and focused on Chi Yu’s next words.

“My father originally had four brothers and sisters, but due to various man-made accidents, he was the only one who survived in the end.”

“He taught me from a very young age that you have to be strong enough to be able to protect the people you want to protect.”

Probably because of the mention of his parents, Chi Yu’s facial expression was like a misty forest in the morning, with a thin layer of sunshine, soft and warm.

“My parents are very good people, at least to me, they are the best parents.”

“The essay I wrote in elementary school was about my dream, which is to become a superman like my father who can protect my family.”

At this time, Chi Yu was in a very rare state.

Xue Xue has seen happy Chi Yu, gentle Chi Yu, coquettish Chi Yu, angry Chi Yu, out-of-control Chi Yu, uneasy Chi Yu… As a lover and cohabitant, she can be said to have seen many faces of each other, including those that are usually shown and those that are not often shown in front of others.

But now this side of Chi Yu seemed very strange to her.

It seems like I am missing something, and I feel like I am sad for something.

The conflicting emotions put Chi Yu into a situation that only he could understand.

Xue Xue did not want to break out loudly, but put her palms against his fisted hands, silently encouraging and comforting him.

“I had a happy childhood.”

“I think… I should be very happy.”

Chi Yu said the last few words very lightly, as light as a breeze leaving no trace. If the surrounding environment was not quiet at this time, and Xue Xue was listening to Chi Yu very attentively, it would not be possible to tell what he said.

It looked as if the lips were just moving.

“Why do you say it should?”

“Why?” Chi Yu chuckled.”Because it’s too far.”

“Huh?”

“Childhood, happiness, parents… these are all too far away from me.” Chi Yu’s eyes were deep.”It’s like it happened a lifetime ago.”

Hearing this, Xue Xue was startled.

Chi Yu is just a young man now. In the eyes of ordinary people, he is at a great age when life has both depth and vitality. However, if you just listen to his tone, it sounds like an old man in his twilight years looking back on the past when his end is approaching, full of laments for the ruthless time.

Although I already knew from Xue Dehui what Chi Yu might have experienced in the past without her involvement, when the words came out of Chi Yu’s mouth, the impact on Xue Xue was even stronger.

And this is even just the beginning.

Xue Xue subconsciously held Chi Yu hard, not knowing whether she wanted to calm his heart or her own.

Chi Yu lowered his eyelids and looked at the hands held by the two of them. With a backhand, he wrapped Xue Xue’s small hand into the circle formed by the big hands.

“Perhaps everything must be reversed. When I was ten years old, they had an accident and left.”

“I was very sad at that time, so sad that even on a sunny day, I felt the sky was gray.” Chi Yu paused.”At that time, everyone was busy dealing with my parents’ funeral affairs and couldn’t care about me at all. I didn’t want to meet those adults who only talked about inheritance, so I simply locked myself in the room and only relied on a few snacks and drinks in the cabinet to fill my stomach.”

Following Chi Yu’s description, Xue Xue sketched a picture in his mind.

A child with exquisite features, beautiful and quiet, was alone in a dark room, his eyes were dull, and he was hugging his knees and crying silently.

Xue Xue only felt that his heart was tightened all of a sudden.

Sensing the woman’s loving gaze, Chi Yu raised his eyelids, his peach blossom eyes were pink and a little misty, very sparkling.

He suddenly smiled.

He grabbed Xue Xue’s elbow suddenly and pulled him into his arms.

Xue Xue blinked.

The muscles pressed underneath were strong and tight, and the undulating lines could be felt even through two layers of fabric.

Only then did Xue Xue realize that Chi Yu’s mood was far more unstable than he showed.

Perhaps, this is a self-destructive thing for him.

Xue Xue felt distressed, but she knew that if the root was rotten, it had to be dug out, otherwise, it would just be dragged along with it to rot.

It took a lot of effort to get Chi Yu to speak. Xue Xue couldn’t ask Chi Yu to retract himself into his shell just because he felt a little uncomfortable at this time, and continue his previous attitude of hiding and ignoring things as if they didn’t exist.

With this idea in mind, Xue Xue just curled up in the man’s arms, adjusted to a comfortable position, and listened to the next story.

Little did he know that her dilly-dallying movements seemed to Chi Yu like a delicate domestic white cat looking for a nest for herself.

Incredibly cute.
