It felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over Ou Xun’s head. He was plunged into an ice cave, his body turning icy, yet instinctively, he tightened his grip on her hand. “Feng Guang…”
“Shut up!” Feng Guang’s smile faded as she pulled her hand away and stood up, turning to leave.
“Feng Guang!” Ou Xun hurriedly stepped in front of her, pulling her tightly into an embrace and pleading, “Please don’t go… don’t go…”
Aside from those three words, it seemed he had nothing else to say.
Feng Guang suddenly felt a wave of sadness, unsure if it was for him or herself. She quietly let him hold her for a while, but finally, she resolutely pushed him away, a half-smile on her lips. “Should I call you Ou Xun or Ren Woxing? I should have realized earlier—when I first saw you in the game, you already knew my name. It’s clear you know my true identity. In the game, you hated me so much, but in reality, you said you liked me. Ou Xun, what is your true intention in getting close to me?”
“It’s not like that. I didn’t intentionally get close to you,” he said, trying to reach out to her, but she dodged. The look in his eyes was nearly pleading.
It was a gaze that could easily soften anyone’s heart. Feng Guang turned her head away, avoiding his gaze. She raised her hand to wipe away the tears threatening to fall from the corners of her eyes. “You’ve known about me for a long time. That day… when you handed me a tissue and saw it was me, you walked away because you hated me.”
“At that time, I hadn’t started to like you yet.” He struggled to defend himself, but seeing her tears was causing him to lose any ability to think.
“Right, at that time, you didn’t like me. So who did you like?” Feng Guang bit her lip, trying to suppress her sobs. “You warned me not to provoke the wrong person. Who was that person?”
Ou Xun couldn’t answer. In the most humble tone, he said, “Feng Guang, please don’t cry, okay?”
She swatted his hand away when he reached out to wipe her tears. Even while crying, her expression and posture remained defiant. “I guess that person is Zhao Xiaolu, right?” When she saw him about to say something, she snapped, “Just tell me if it’s her!”
He didn’t argue.
“I understand now.” Just as Feng Guang took a step, he grabbed her wrist.
“I can explain everything. Whatever you want to know, I’ll tell you. Feng Guang, please believe me…” Ou Xun had never hated himself more for being inarticulate; he could only beg her. “Believe me, I really… really like you.”
Feng Guang raised an ironic smile. “I already know everything. You know that the character Wanyang in the game is me, which is why you warned me and threatened me, thinking I bullied Zhao Xiaolu. Looking back now, all the questions I couldn’t understand before can be explained. You know what classes I have, what I like to eat, where I live… you know everything about me. Your abilities are truly… terrifying.”
Her words about being scared pierced his heart. “I know all this because I like you. I want to understand you.”
“So, what’s your real intention in getting close to me? Is it to get revenge for Zhao Xiaolu?” Suddenly, she trembled slightly, uncertain, but still linked it to the most probable idea. “During that time, all the negative events about me were caused by you, right?”
Ou Xun couldn’t say a word. He didn’t want to lie to her, but he feared the consequences if he admitted it. His grip on her hand trembled, and the desperate pleading in his dark eyes could move any woman.
