Yu Beizhou sighed. “No wonder Senior brother wants to be mutually debt-free with me, wants to leave the Imperial City, and leave.”
Unfortunately, not only was it not clear, but it couldn’t be returned.
“Now this situation, if Senior brother really leaves, your most beloved father emperor will probably be angry to death just like in the previous life. After all, the crown prince leaving is a big deal, unprecedented in several dynasties, it really is a sin.”
“I said it a long time ago.”
Yu Beizhou hooked up the corner of his mouth with pleasure. “Senior brother, we can never clear each other.” (TL: cleared accounts between two parties)
For two lifetimes, Yu Beizhou had never known so clearly that he couldn’t keep Zong Luo.
Just like in the previous life, he couldn’t control Zong Luo’s choice. The latter resolutely and decisively cut his throat, from beginning to end, he had nothing to do with him, like a stranger who had never met, ruthless to the extreme.
Even if he used everything to turn back time, he couldn’t let his gaze stay for a second longer.
Unfortunately Yu Beizhou had no way of changing, there’s no turning back.
The good fate that he could easily achieve on everyone else, only failed on this person.
In the end, the only thing he could do was to use the things he cared about the most.
Use distortion, use morbidity, use guilt, use the most intense hatred, use the obsession that was engraved in the bone and blood.
Give him everything that originally belonged to him, and make him unable to leave this golden cage.
Yu Beizhou knew Zong Luo too well.
He knew that if he exchanged fresh blood, the latter couldn’t be at ease.
What he wanted was this unease.
The truth was as clear and distinct as flowers in the mirror, moon in the water, but inexplicable, couldn’t be explained. Could only stay guiltily, because leaving would bring greater harm.
Even if it’s such a cruel way, even if it’s a despicable means. Yu Beizhou was also willing to implement.
Because his goal had always been only one.
Never, never think about leaving my side.
“Isn’t this very good?”
Yu Beizhou laughed and added another fuel to the fire. “Senior brother, you are so fond of your father emperor, and your father emperor values you so much. In this way, it can be considered as conforming to the will of heaven.”
“As for me, anyway, these are things I don’t care much about. Senior brother, you can take them. You don’t need to always remember Junior brother’s kindness, occasionally letting Junior brother taste some sweetness is fine.”
He deliberately used a frivolous tone to twist this sentence.
It’s nothing more than to provoke Zong Luo’s anger, which Yu Beizhou had long been adept at.
Just as Yu Beizhou was leisurely, planning to slowly appreciate the painful or angry expression on Zong Luo’s face, the latter suddenly raised his head without warning.
That clear, noble, gentle and elegant face did not have the pain and struggle that Yu Beizhou imagined, even the anger when he first broke into the King of Beining Mansion was gone, on the contrary, it was calm.
“You’re lying.”
Zong Luo stared straight at those upturned phoenix eyes, fearing that he would not hear, he said word by word. “Yu Beizhou, you’re lying.”
Yu Beizhou was a master of playing with people’s hearts, every word could hit the nail on the head.
If it weren’t for last night, Zong Luo would probably be as usual, suffering terribly under these bloody words like knives, suffering torment.
But that happened.
Thinking back to last night, Zong Luo even felt absurd.
In front of him, Yu Beizhou was always twisted, hateful, crazy.
Even Zong Luo’s impression of him was cold, selfish, paranoid, self-centered, extremely arrogant, ruthless, unscrupulous, not a good word.
However, when he had a high fever and was confused, the words he uttered were so humble, miserable, almost pleadingly confused. He would rather let the chain break on his body, covered in blood, crawl out of the dark room, and hold on to not let him go.
Which one is the real him?
If the one last night is, then what about the one in front of him?
What was it that Zong Luo had never seen through under the layers of shell wrapped in evil thoughts?
“If you really don’t care, why do you hate me?” Zong Luo asked.
When his mind was clear, he usually did not hesitate to show his excellent logical reasoning ability, pressing step by step. “If you don’t care about your exchanged identity, you won’t hate me for so long, and you won’t hate me from the beginning.”
Listening to Yu Beizhou speak, it’s not only easy to get angry, but also easy to be led into the ditch.
But no matter what he said about owing each other, it’s not clear, all kinds of stabbing knives at the wound, couldn’t cover up the fact that he didn’t intend to make the truth public, and even covered it up.
Further interpretation, it could even be interpreted as giving up the position of the crown prince. Not to mention that Yu Beizhou would rather give up everything to get his rebirth.
“Even if you really don’t care, would you give these to someone who really hates you?”
If you really hate someone, you would hate to grind them to the bone and turn them to ashes, and it’s annoying to look at them more.
Give up everything, willingly give important things, it’s laughable to say it out loud.
Zong Luo didn’t believe it, he just wanted to take a gamble.
Look at people, don’t look at what he says, but what he does.
He bet that what Yu Beizhou thought in his heart and what he said were not the same, they could only be said to be irrelevant.
“Admit it, Yu Beizhou. Change that broken mouth of yours that knows how to stab people with a knife.”
Zong Luo said word by word, every word was extremely light. “You are not as proficient as you show on the surface.”
