When Jiang Nanshu walked in, Zhou Yanbai was looking up at the hibiscus tree in the yard.
It wasn’t flowering season yet, but the leaves were still a vibrant green.
Uncle Qi sat outside the gate, with Xiao Xiao squatting at his feet.
It all looked harmonious, but the person who came was Zhou Yanbai, that devil.
Jiang Nanshu stopped and looked at him coldly: “What are you doing here?”
Hearing the noise, Zhou Yanbai turned around to look at her. His handsome face showed no anger, but rather a curious gaze as he looked at her.
“This is my brother’s house. Can’t I come?”
Jiang Nanshu felt nauseous at his nonchalant mention of Zhou Yanxu.
“This house is registered in my name now. Please leave, don’t force me to take action.”
“Pfft.” Zhou Yanbai suddenly laughed, pulling a fruit knife from his sleeve and throwing it at Jiang Nanshu’s feet.
“I actually hope you do it, preferably stab me to death with one blow.”
Jiang Nanshu kicked the knife away.
“Your blood is too dirty, don’t soil my doorstep. Get lost.”
Zhou Yanbai tilted his head slightly. He was taller than Jiang Nanshu, but Jiang Nanshu was no less imposing.
Zhou Yanbai laughed: “You’ve changed, Jiang Nanshu. I still prefer the old you who went crazy and didn’t care about anything. You should have come and stabbed me. How can you be so calm? You feel like a stranger to me. Could it be that living in another world for more than a year has really made you grow a conscience?”
At this point, Zhou Yanbai seemed to remember something and burst into laughter, tears streaming down his face.
Jiang Nanshu looked at him with a complicated expression.
He really needs to be admitted to a mental hospital to see how insane he’s become.
He can talk and laugh all by himself.
Zhou Yanbai noticed Jiang Nanshu’s gaze, his laughter stopped abruptly, and he asked with some confusion, “Why are you looking at me like that?”
Jiang Nanshu: “It’s my first time seeing the madman’s outburst. I’m quite curious.”
Zhou Yanbai smiled: “We’re the same kind, Jiang Nanshu.”
Jiang Nanshu’s breath caught in her throat.
What the hell?
Was she like this in other people’s eyes before?
She wasn’t this exaggerated, was she?
Zhou Yanbai continued, seemingly oblivious to his surroundings: “In another world, the moment I saw you, I felt a strange sense of familiarity. Do you know what that’s called? Only those of the same kind can resonate with each other.”
“But you’re more capable than I. You’re capable of having someone die for you. You know Lu Qingyan, right? I heard he pulled your body from the sea, held onto it tightly, and wouldn’t let anyone touch you. He was insane, so insane that he hid a corpse.”
“Then one morning, he was found to have committed suicide by cutting his wrists. How stupid! How could anyone be so stupid? Jiang Nanshu, you’re quite heartless to just abandon him like that. I’m starting to admire you more and more. What should I do?”
Jiang Nanshu looked at him coldly.
His words had no effect on her whatsoever.
Zhou Yanbai also realized what was happening.
His gaze shifted from initial probing to infatuation.
“Only a calm woman like you, who could abandon people at any moment, is suitable for me. Su Ran is too clingy; she’s disgusting. I still prefer the feeling of her abandoning me and going back to China to find another man. I’ll find that thrill of tormenting her.”
Jiang Nanshu looked at him, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back. At this moment, her mind was truly twisted.
Could he be a masochist?
She grabbed his collar, forcefully dragged him out, and threw his knife away along with him: “You’re insane.”
Jiang Nanshu slammed the door shut; finally, the world was quiet.
Uncle Qi, however, sat motionless in his seat.
Although he might not have heard their conversation, he must have seen Zhou Yanbai’s abnormal state.
But he didn’t say anything.
Only a hint of pity appeared in his eyes.
