Xiao Ruilangâs pupils constricted, and he looked at her without saying anything.
âYouâre a bad person, but youâre not that evil.â Ye Shengge sighed. âYou just donât have empathy for people. You canât treat others as humans like you.â
In Xiao Ruilangâs opinion, most humans were boring and stupid. He didnât think they were the same kind of people. He wouldnât sympathize with their lives or deaths. Even if he accidentally hurt them, he wouldnât feel guilty at all.
Just like the cruise incident, he didnât think there was a problem with so many innocent people dying because of it.
Perhaps it was because of this personality that Xiao Cheng had suppressed him, or perhaps it was because Xiao Cheng had suppressed and insulted him that his current personality was like this. No matter what, he was already in such a state and yet, he didnât have any family members and friends who cared about him so his personality would only worsen.
Xiao Ruilang suddenly smiled and said, âYou know me very well. Weâre indeed a match made in heaven.â
âNo, Shiting told me all this. Sometimes, we talk about you, but Iâm scolding you most of the time. He thinks youâre a bit annoying, but he doesnât think youâre really a bad person,â Ye Shengge said.
There was truth in that sentence, but she wanted to take a gamble now. Perhaps the feeling of being trusted and needed could change him. Trust and certainty were perhaps what this man lacked the most since he was young.
âXiao Ruilang, Shiting is in danger.â Ye Shengge took a deep breath. âI need your help now. Please.â
He looked at her for a while and squinted. âI know what youâre thinking, but itâs useless. Compared to being grateful to me and trusting me, I prefer others to be furious because of me.â
Ye Shengge bit her lips and stood up. âIâll find a way back to Yang City myself.â
âI just confessed to you. Arenât you going to respond at all?â He sighed with resentment.
âAs a married woman and a mother of two, how do you want me to respond?â Ye Shengge looked at him coldly. âThank you for liking me, but I donât accept you?â
âWhy donât you reconsider? Ji Shiting might not come back this time.â
âEven if he doesnât come back, I wonât choose you. Never,â Ye Shengge said calmly. âYouâll never get the feelings I have for Shiting because you wonât treat me like Shiting does. Xiao Ruilang, this is a very simple principle. You canât just think about gaining without giving. Only sincerity begets sincerity.â
âIâm sincere indeed, but I only mean that much.â He suddenly smiled. âI canât do anything if you ask me to give you more.â
Ye Shengge felt a sense of bleakness and self-deprecation.
âI believe in your potential.â Ye Shengge looked at him seriously. âBut someone needs to dig it out.â
âCome dig.â
âNot interested.â
âHumphâ¦â Xiao Ruilang lay on the sofa and looked up at her.
Ye Shengge looked at him one last time and turned around to walk out.
âWait,â the man said lazily.
Ye Shengge turned around angrily and said, âWhy? Are you going to imprison me here?â
He sighed and said, âI wanted to say Iâll give you a ride..â
