A pair of pitch-black hands slowly reached from behind and covered Lin Ye’s eyes. For that moment, he could no longer hear anything. All he could see was the desperate, pleading figure of his cousin. Amid his cousin’s nearly hysterical screams, Lin Ye numbly turned around.
An eerie smile unconsciously flickered across the corners of his lips. An unprecedented, overwhelming sense of exhilaration washed over him, making him forget everything else in an instant. Afterward, just as his cousin had predicted, Lin Ye endured no shortage of blame and unreasonable accusations from his cousin’s parents. From that point on, Lin Ye became increasingly quiet and withdrawn.
Faced with everyone’s accusations, a terrifying rebelliousness had already taken root inside him. There were even moments when he wanted to drag all of them down to hell with him.
And then, later, that incident happened.
Lin Ye was driven to the very end of the road. He stood on the rooftop of the base’s tallest building. From there, it felt as though he could touch the sky simply by reaching out his hand. He tilted his head slightly upward. His slightly long, soft hair danced gently in the rooftop wind. His profile was strikingly handsome, almost like the beautiful male protagonist of a manhua.
At that moment, Lin Ye’s mind was completely blank. Years of depression had left him dazed. He wasn’t even entirely sure what he was doing anymore.
His life had been so short. The thing he had longed for and looked forward to most was nothing more than a tiny bit of familial affection.
Some people could have that affection within easy reach yet never cherish it. But no matter how hard he tried, no matter how capable or outstanding he became, familial affection always remained impossibly far away from him.
