Chapter 9: Prettier Than The Flower

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Li Yuan hugged her and told her, “I’m sorry for being late.”

Then, he looked at the members of the Su family as if he saw a swarm of ants. “Don’t worry, I’ll make damn sure that the Su family will burn with her!”

Two days later, the Su family members either died or went mad.

That time, she had already made her decision.

If there was a next life, she would do whatever she could to repay him.

Shen Xi was contemplating when she sensed someone’s cold, hard gaze on her. She jolted in fright and made contact with the man’s penetrating yet emotionless stare.

He had beautiful eyes. They were narrow and had a subtle, upward curve that made him look unusually charming and enigmatic.

However, what laid beneath his icy, hostile gaze was a bottomless chasm devoid of life and light. It was as still as an uninhabited pool of water, where nothing could stir up ripples on its surface.

By staring into his eyes, Shen Xi felt as if she had tumbled into a vast abyss and her body turned stiff and frozen.

Those intense feelings of angst and hatred towards humanity and the world struck a chord with her. Instead of experiencing terror, she felt sorry for him.

As if, nothing in this world could ignite the spark within him anymore.

He was alive but spent his living days like a dead man.

Li Yuan observed the young girl behind the wall. She seemed terrified of him, for she hid herself after revealing half of her head.

After a while, he heard some sounds from the other side.

“Brother, you must have moved in today, haven’t you? I’m your neighbor.” Suddenly, Shen Xi stood up and chirped joyfully.

Had she not returned to the Su family back then, or if she had at least made a trip back home, she might not have missed him and end up meeting him on her deathbed.

Li Yuan kept quiet. He scanned her coolly.

The rays of sunset illuminated the girl’s body with a warm, orange glow.

She wore a red outfit and carried a pot with a red flower in it.

The flower was nice.

The girl, however, was prettier than the flower.

At this very moment, he felt his heart leap. He had not felt anything like this for a long time.

“It’s a welcome gift for you!” Shen Xi held the pot and laughed cheerily. “Brother, welcome to your new home!”

Li Yuan’s expression remained unchanged. It was like the surface of a lake that was frozen for a million years, where no ripples could form.

“Brother, I’ll lower the pot for you with a rope. Catch!” Instead of waiting for his response, Shen Xi placed the pot down in an upright manner and carefully lowered it with the rope.

Li Yuan realized that the girl had made up her mind and passed him the pot. Hence, he wheeled his chair forward to take it.

Bearing a vibrant hue and intricate textures on its petals, the little red flower was lovely and looked like the stars in the night sky.

It was remarkable that a flower could grow in midwinter. Evidently, whoever planted it loved flowers.

“Brother, I’m Shen Xi. What’s your name?” Shen Xi coiled up the rope and hung it around her shoulders.

Li Yuan did not reply but gazed at the flower.

Perhaps, it had been too long since he heard somebody else speaking.

Surprisingly, he did not get annoyed, which might also be due to the fact that she resembled his little girl.
