Chapter 17 The Final Confirmation
After the words left his mouth, Xie Yi Heng's shoulders straightened slightly, as though saying it out loud had settled something inside him.
He didn't say much more after that.
Countless sleepless nights, he had stared at the ceiling and gone over every detail he could remember.
Why had Wen Yu suddenly transferred to his school.
Why had her family never once appeared.
Why had she forced herself to stay close to him even though she clearly didn't like him.
Yes.
I had seen what Wen Yu looked like when she was around him back then.
So I knew very well.
At first, Wen Yu hadn't liked him.
Her approach felt more like she was completing some kind of task.
I had seen her face full of resistance when he rejected her.
I had also seen her flushed and embarrassed after cheering for him on the court.
She smiled at him, yet her eyes were filled with despair.
Back then, Xie Yi Heng hadn't understood.
Curiosity was the beginning of falling.
He never expected he would truly fall for her.
When had she started to truly become happy?
It was the day he told her: "Do whatever you want. I like the real you."
Xie Yi Heng liked the real her.
That day Wen Yu hugged him and cried for a long time.
She kept repeating thank you over and over.
As if he had saved her life.
Xie Yi Heng's eyelid twitched.
Whenever he tried to recall Wen Yu's background and origins.
A fog would rise in his mind, making him lose direction.
His sixth sense told him.
There was only one way to confirm his suspicion.
Xie Yi Heng lay down in the bathtub filled with water.
The sharp blade reflected his bloodshot eyes.
Yet at this moment they shone with excitement.
Without hesitation, Xie Yi Heng sliced open his wrist.
Crimson spread rapidly through the water.
In the moment he hovered near death.
A faint, almost inaudible sigh sounded in his mind.
【If you knew it would end like this, why did you do it in the first place?】
