Xiao Zexin’s eyes widened in shock— 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

In his eyes, there was a deep abyss.

"What are you talking about?" he asked incredulously.

Nangong Ruyue’s eyes were determined: "I said, even if you really kill me, I won’t regret it. I just want to be with you."

"..."

"Zexin, when I chose to love you back then, I knew I wouldn’t regret it. In this world, only you are truly good to me, willing to sacrifice everything for me. For so many years, how much have you sacrificed because of me? This time, let me sacrifice for you, okay?"

Xiao Zexin suddenly became agitated: "Who asked you to sacrifice? I have nothing that requires your sacrifice!"

"Let me stay with you..."

"Not necessary! You leave, I need to rest!" His expression was resolute, his gaze shifted away, no longer glancing at her.

Nangong Ruyue held back the pain in her heart, slowly stood up.

"I’ve said all I need to say. My decision is unchanged. Consider it carefully."

After speaking, she turned and left.

The moment the door closed, a pained expression suddenly appeared on Xiao Zexin’s face.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want her to stay.

It was that he didn’t dare approach her at all...

Nangong Ruyue went downstairs and instructed Chen Fen, along with several servants and bodyguards, to bring her belongings over from the opposite side.

From now on, she would live here.

To make it easier for her to move around, the servants arranged her room downstairs.

Nangong Ruyue had no objections; she didn’t dare move directly to the room next to Xiao Zexin’s.

Mainly because she was afraid he would refuse.

...

Xiao Zexin didn’t know she had already moved in.

After Nangong Ruyue left, he remained by the bed, unmoved.

He closed his eyes, letting his mind wander, caring about nothing, suppressing nothing.

Chaotic fragments flashed through his mind incessantly.

Scenes of what he did to Yufei, what he did to Ruyue.

And what he did to others...

In the hallucinations, he had gone mad, completely lost his reason.

All he knew was kill, kill, kill!

The other him stood calmly and rationally to the side, watching the crazed self.

He knew what he was doing, yet he couldn’t control himself.

Xiao Zexin suddenly opened his eyes, his pupils narrowing sharply.

Had he already split mentally?

Those with split minds are both normal and not normal.

They clearly know right from wrong, good from evil, can see everything rationally.

But inside, there resides a devil...

Xiao Zexin’s hand gripped tightly, eyes filled with a sinister look.

He must not become that kind of person, must not split mentally!

"Bang—" he violently swept the lamp from the bedside table in a fit of unvented rage.

A servant came in with a meal, coincidentally witnessing this scene.

Xiao Zexin slowly raised his gaze, eyes cold and devoid of warmth.

The servant, terrified, didn’t dare approach, a gentle hand from behind pushed her aside.

Nangong Ruyue, one hand on her stomach, slowly walked in.

"Madam..."

"Put down the meal, and clean up here first."

"Yes."

The servant set down the meal and hurriedly left.

Xiao Zexin looked at Nangong Ruyue with a gloomy expression.

"You saw it. I can lose control, I really can lose control!"

"Yes, I saw it," Nangong Ruyue’s expression was very calm.

Xiao Zexin frowned: "Then you should know, being by my side, it’s only a matter of time before I lose control and hurt you! Just like... like I hurt Yufei."

Nangong Ruyue always believed that he rejected her approach so vehemently.
