Chapter 157 Science Fiction‧Prostitution Rebel Leader (9)

“I’m sorry!”

Xia Huaijin put down the electronic video device in his hand and raised his head. Ye Xuan stood at the door as she had in the past few days, and gave him an apology in a dignified manner.He didn’t speak, picked up the video device, and started browsing the news again.

Sure enough, it still doesn’t work… The frustration in her heart almost overwhelmed Ye Xuan. She realized her mistake, but it seemed that it was no longer useful.

How could she be so stupid? Xia Huaijin is different from other men.To other men, Ye Xuan’s ideas are blameless, because the education they have received since childhood has already determined that they have completely lost the pursuit of equality.But as the leader of the Men’s Liberation Front, Xia Huaijin took it as his own duty to fight for freedom for his compatriots. How could he accept Ye Xuan’s love that lacked respect? To him, this love was even an insult.

And no matter how Ye Xuan apologized or defended, it was actually useless.Is it possible that the values ​​​​that have been formed since childhood can change overnight?Xia Huaijin was not stupid enough to believe that Ye Xuan would become a human rights fighter after one night. The reason why she felt sorry was just because she felt that she had hurt him.

The hanging broken hair blocked Ye Xuan’s face. She tried her best to suppress the expression that was so frustrated that she was about to cry, and pulled the corners of her mouth to make her face look less stiff.Xia Huaijin still ignored him. This man seemed determined. No matter what Ye Xuan did, he would never respond.

It doesn’t matter. I cheered myself up over and over again in my heart. If you know you made a mistake, then correct it.If the correction still has no effect, then… let’s talk about it again.I have to say that Xia Huaijin’s guess about Ye Xuan’s character was absolutely correct. She was by no means a timid person. Instead, she became more courageous with each setback, as if she had the consciousness to fight to the end in this silent competition.

Xia Huaijin felt that he had made a mistake, thinking that his cold attitude would scare Ye Xuan away. Why did she seem to cling to him even tighter?

It’s not that they had closer contact. After that day, Ye Xuan stopped giving Xia Huaijin physical examinations.In the past, she liked to take the opportunity to eat Xia Huaijin’s tofu, and Xia Huaijin actually knew it.To put it bluntly, this kind of behavior is actually sexual harassment, but because one party is in a strong position, the other party can only act stupid.

Realizing that something was wrong, Ye Xuan finally restrained herself, although she felt like there were a hundred claws scratching her heart and wanted to pounce on Xia Huaijin and take off Xia Huaijin’s clothes.For the first time, she tried to treat a man with an equal attitude, not thinking about how to have him in every possible way, but trying to get close to him and understand him.

The closer she got, the more she found Xia Huaijin extremely charming.Even if she didn’t do anything but just sit and watch Xia Huaijin, she could watch it with gusto all day long.

So this woman’s daily routine now changes from physical examination and nagging to apologizing and staring at herself in a daze?Holding the video device in his hand, Xia Huaijin became increasingly restless even though he tried his best to ignore the scorching gaze behind him.He is not someone who is easily influenced by the outside world, but he cannot treat Ye Xuan like air.

Why should he care about her? She was the one who made the mistake, and he was the one who was humiliated. Seeing Ye Xuan apologizing to himself over and over again, Xia Huaijin should feel happy, but for some reason, his heart would tighten every time Ye Xuan bent down at the door.Here it comes again, his unusual softness towards this woman.

“Ye Xuan.” He suddenly turned around.

Ye Xuan was staring at the man’s broad back, the corners of her usually stiff mouth turned up, and she didn’t know what she was thinking of, and she showed a slightly weird smile.When she heard Xia Huaijin’s voice, she was immediately startled, and her body shrank back slightly, just like a frightened squirrel, which made Xia Huaijin angry and funny.

“What exactly do you want to do?” Xia Huai looked at Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan lowered her head, then raised her head the next moment: “I,” she bit her lip and looked directly back into Xia Huaijin’s eyes for the first time, “I want to prove my sincerity.”

As for what kind of sincerity, sincerity in asking for forgiveness, or sincerity in expressing love?

Xia Huaijin couldn’t help but sigh. The woman’s eyes were dark and bright. Even through the lenses, you could see the brilliance shining in those black pupils. He looked at Ye Xuan for a long time, so long that Ye Xuan thought he was going to stay silent forever, and suddenly said, “Do you like me?”

Ye Xuan’s face suddenly turned red, and her expressionless face was instantly gone. Her fair cheeks were filled with crimson, “No…” She subconsciously prepared to deny it.

Xia Huaijin smiled: “If you deny it, I will treat it as if you are telling the truth.”

Ye Xuan was about to shake her head but immediately stopped. She stared at Xia Huaijin stupidly, her mind in confusion.Huai Jin is so smart, he must have figured it out a long time ago.She never said it. At first she thought it was unnecessary, but now she feels that she is not qualified to say this anymore.

Xia Huaijin sighed again, not sure if it was because of this stupid woman’s stupid look or because of what he was about to say——

“I think it would be good for both of us to tell you directly.” Is this sentence just for Ye Xuan, or does it also include himself?”You don’t have to waste your time anymore, it’s impossible for us.”

“Why?” Ye Xuan seemed to wake up from a start, and finally spoke, “Why is it impossible…I admit that what I did before was wrong, and you should not like me, but…but feelings are the only reason for you to reject me.” The hands on her knees clenched into fists unconsciously, and Ye Xuan’s words were confused, “As long as you like me, I will definitely find a way for us to be together. If…you don’t like me, I won’t give up!”

Xia Huaijin looked at her with an extremely subtle expression on his face.She was finally willing to confess her feelings, but it was under such a situation.”I’m afraid you don’t understand what I mean,” the man’s voice was very calm. “What I said is impossible, not the disparity in status, or even that,” he paused, and continued, “It’s not whether we love each other, but that we have different positions. We are not from the same world at all. Do you understand, Ye Xuan,” he said softly, “Even if I love you, I will not marry you and become a woman’s concubine.”

“In your mind, marrying a woman means becoming her forbidden partner?”

Xia Huaijin smiled: “Isn’t it?”

Ye Xuan originally had a lot to say, but was completely speechless because of this rhetorical question.Because it is indeed like this. In the Nebula Empire, if men can still have some freedom before marriage, getting married means that they have been labeled as a woman, and they have no control over their lives.

“I know you are from a noble family, you have everything, you can give me anything,” Xia Huaijin said with a smile on his lips, but that smile made Ye Xuan more desperate, “But that was what you gave me, not my own.”

Wealth, status, and even freedom, he knew that if Ye Xuan loved him enough, she could give him everything.But in the final analysis, it was a gift based on the love and favor of others, and it was definitely not something Xia Huaijin would accept happily.

Ye Xuan’s heart was completely cold, and her scorching heart gradually cooled down. “But,” her lips moved slightly, as if she was making a last-ditch effort to trap a trapped animal, “but this world… is like this.”

There is no right, no freedom. If you are lucky enough, you can get the love of a woman, and then obtain the happiness built on parasitism. If you don’t get mercy from God, you can only be trapped under power and spend your life without any resistance. This is the fate of men, this is this cold and cruel world.

“So,” the smile in Xia Huaijin’s eyes almost overflowed. It was the first time Ye Xuan saw his smile like this. It was gentle, but also filled with awe that would never retreat. She had never forgotten this smile throughout her life.

“——I’m going to change this world.”

It is cold enough and hard enough, but there is nothing that blood cannot melt, and there is nothing that the body cannot break.

Ye Xuan almost shed tears at that moment: “Can you change?” She didn’t know whether she was asking Xia Huaijin, or asking herself, “You know it’s impossible, so you have to resist,” her chest heaved violently, and she almost yelled angrily, “It’s 4.9 billion women!”

“I know,” Xia Huaijin’s tone was understated, but solid as a rock, “someone has to do some things. If no one is willing, then let me do it.”

“Xiaoxuan,” Ye Ru put down the knife and wiped the corners of his mouth elegantly with a napkin, “I have a meeting in the afternoon, so I’ll leave first.”

“Ah? Oh…” Ye Xuan watched her mother stand up blankly, and suddenly shouted, “Mom, I have a doubt,” Ye Ru turned around and motioned for her daughter to speak. Ye Xuan hesitated for a moment, and then said, “Is the government’s control of men… too harsh? Women and men are the same human beings, aren’t they?”

Ye Ru did not speak. She looked at her daughter for a moment and smiled: “If one party has absolute power, the weaker party will inevitably be deprived of human rights. This is determined by the profit-seeking nature of human beings. I don’t think you don’t know. Don’t ask such silly questions again. I won’t be back tonight. Go to bed early.”

After leaving these words, the sound of heels hitting the ground quickly disappeared.Ye Xuan sat at the dining table in a daze for a long time before slowly standing up.

Human profit-seeking nature?My mother is right. The oppressors cannot understand the oppressed, not because the oppressors are evil in nature, but because their stance determines their actions.Ye Xuan, who was in this situation, never thought of the difficult situation of men in the first place?If it weren’t for Xia Huaijin, she would never have asked this question, which in her mother’s opinion was a stupid question.

She had thought a lot these past few days, what a failure… She was obviously older than that man, but in front of him, she was actually just a stupid and naive fool.Having done so many wrong things to him, Ye Xuan thought, she couldn’t do any more wrong.

Originally preparing to go back to her room, she turned around and strode towards the door.

Because it was the weekend, there were only staff on duty in the institute. Lin Yi was sorting out experimental data in the office when he suddenly saw Ye Xuan’s hurried figure passing by the corridor and heading towards the donor’s residence.”Dr. Ye!” She called out, but Ye Xuan didn’t seem to hear him. “What’s going on?” Lin Yi muttered in a low voice, “Dr. Ye’s face looks so bad.”

But when Ye Xuan walked into Xia Huaijin’s room, a smile already appeared on her lips.”Let’s go,” she said straight to the point, “I have prepared a legal identity for you. Originally…” It was originally used to assign Xia Huaijin to her. “The last flight to Edge Port is at four o’clock. Let’s go quickly.” She tried her best to make her smile bigger. “If you are later, you will not be able to catch up.”

“You…” Xia Huaijin was stunned. At first, he was shocked. At this time, the complex emotions floating in his black eyes included confusion, worry, and joy, but there was no hesitation.

The obsession that she had been unable to let go suddenly disappeared, and Ye Xuan felt herself instantly relaxed. She obviously wanted to smile, but her cheeks were sore and aching, “It’s okay, don’t worry about me, I can take care of things at the institute,” she said randomly, “I don’t think we will meet again in the future, so let’s say goodbye properly.”

“I’m sorry,” she lowered her head, tears falling from the corners of her eyes and quickly disappearing into her hair, “I’m really sorry.”

“It’s okay.” Xia Huaijin’s warm hands fell on the top of her hair, and he whispered, “I forgive you.”

“That’s great.” Looking up again, except for the redness at the corners of her eyes, Ye Xuan had completely regained her composure. She put an electronic ID card into Xia Huaijin’s hand, “Goodbye, Xia Huaijin.”

Xia Huaijin paused, as if he wanted to say something, but he finally nodded: “Goodbye, Ye Xuan.” He turned around and placed the electronic ID card on the identification area. The door opened in response. Xia Huaijin saw the world outside this room for the first time in months.As his right foot landed on the ground outside the door, Xia Huaijin even had an unreal feeling. He would soon be free.

“Before you leave,” he heard the woman who trapped him here and let him go with her own hands say from behind him, “can you…kiss me?” The voice was nervous and full of expectation. The woman was like a timid and stupid squirrel, looking at him with two big confused eyes.Xia Huaijin noticed a detail for no reason – she was not wearing glasses.

“Okay.” The man said softly, and placed a gentle kiss on the side of Ye Xuan’s face with his thin lips. It was a kiss that was so shallow that there was almost no feeling. They had had far more intimate contact than this, but at this moment, the hearts of the two silent people jumped.

“Goodbye.” This time it was real goodbye. Xia Huaijin stopped staying, turned around, and strode away.
