A surge of intense excitement rushed through Li Yan’s heart. Could it be…
“Captain, don’t doubt me. I saw it with my own eyes before coming here.”
“Captain, I just wanted to tell you, you must…”
“Get out!”
A chilling aura erupted. His pair of dark eyes were filled with a heavy hostility, reflecting an eerily dark hue.
The young man didn’t understand at first and exclaimed, “Ah!”
“Just leave.”
Li Yan closed his eyes, the veins in his hands bulging as he suppressed the surging anger. He spoke in a flat tone.
No one knew the storm brewing inside him.
Once the person left, Li Yan’s hand, which had been resting under the blanket, curled tightly. The tension in his entire body was rising.
Xiao Rui was still inside washing up. When he came out, he sensed that the atmosphere was off.
However, seeing Li Yan sitting quietly on the bed with his head down made him wonder if it was just his imagination. He began tidying up while talking.
“Is everyone gone? What have you been doing these past few days? How did you get shot?”
Hearing the familiar voice, Li Yan noticed Xiao Rui walking back and forth in his peripheral vision.
He didn’t answer the question but instead said in a hoarse voice, “You were with Luo Xiao today.”
“Fu Yuling asked me to come and help. I ran into him on the way. Honestly, I couldn’t believe it…”
“Were you not with Luo Xiao?”
His eyes were dark and deep, like a still pool of water.
The blunt question left Xiao Rui momentarily stunned, and he quickly responded, “No!”
Li Yan’s mood was not good, but he didn’t say much more.
“Is that so?”
His tone was hard to read, which made Xiao Rui, who had never seen him like this, felt even more anxious.
He had a strange feeling that if he didn’t explain in a way that satisfied Li Yan, he might end up in serious trouble.
“Um…”
Saying this made Xiao Rui feel inexplicably guilty, even though he hadn’t done anything wrong!
“Do you realize your mistake?”
Xiao Rui had a confused look on his face. What had he done wrong?
Seeing that the young man was still unaware of why he was angry, Li Yan felt frustrated.
But thinking that this person had been raised by him and was someone he chose, he could only suppress his anger internally.
“Forget it, just go out for now.”
Li Yan rubbed his forehead with his hand. He closed his eyes, wanting to avoid talking.
