CHAPTER 160: CHAPTER 155: COUPLE’S MATCHING MASKS (THREE UPDATES, ASKING FOR FIRST SUBSCRIPTION)

Zhou Xingcai squatted on the ground, still shaking her head constantly; she wanted to dismiss the secrets she knew.

But secrets, once known, how can they be easily forgotten?

The more you try to forget something, the more it tends to take root in your heart, forming a nightmare-like existence.

In the courtyard.

A young man stood there; he had just witnessed the departure of a person in black clothes, unaware of the person’s identity, though it didn’t matter.

No matter who that person was or what they did to Zhou Xingcai, he could forgive her.

He liked this feeling.

Now, after the other person had left, it was his chance to show his concern.

The young man curiously walked over to Zhou Xingcai and tried asking, "Cai’Er, what’s wrong?"

"Is there anything I can help with?"

Zhou Xingcai’s shoulders trembled.

With her disheveled hair, she abruptly looked up at the young man.

Immediately afterward.

Without hesitation, Zhou Xingcai seemed as if she had clutched a lifeline.

She started tearing at her clothes while rushing directly toward the young man.

"Help me."

"I know you can help me."

Her eyes widened in confusion, her face wholly overtaken by fear.

The young man could no longer see the previous arrogant Zhou Xingcai.

With the situation developing as such, the young man, rationally speaking, could easily subdue Zhou Xingcai.

And now Zhou Xingcai would fully follow his orders.

In the end, a sycophant could obtain some desired things, but this young man was evidently not just a sycophant.

If Yuchi were present, seeing the young man’s gradually distant and disdainful gaze...

Yuchi might exclaim three words.

"Unrequited love."

To put it simply, when it comes to this young man, he is willing to abandon everything in pursuit of Zhou Xingcai.

Even if Zhou Xingcai ignores him and continually scorns him, it’s no problem for him.

In slang terms, he is quite resilient; he only needs to secretly love Zhou Xingcai from afar.

But if one day Zhou Xingcai suddenly reciprocates his feelings and expresses affection for him...

He would immediately lose interest, leading to a strong sense of aversion.

In summary.

He can love Zhou Xingcai silently and without reservation.

But if Zhou Xingcai loves him, he will immediately walk away.

At present, this young man acts just like this.

Seeing Zhou Xingcai’s miserable, ingratiating look, his eyes filled with disdain.

He stepped back continuously.

No matter how desperately the woman in front of him tried to please him.

The more pitiful Zhou Xingcai appeared, the more disgusted he felt.

The young man’s behavior wasn’t an act, but a psychological quirk, or perhaps a psychological illness?

His face muscles wrinkled.

"Help me, help me."

"I don’t know you."

"Please, I’ve always liked you."

"But I don’t have feelings for you anymore."

The young man took several quick steps back, and as he left, he picked up a basin of cold water next to him and poured it over Zhou Xingcai.

He then left the Zhou Family.

He needed to find the next person he liked, not wanting to stay beside someone clinging to him.

He discarded all the tattered items Zhou Xingcai gave him earlier, feeling they were dirty.

"I wonder who will be the next to conquer me?"

"Looking forward to it."

The young man left without any emotional burden.

If Yuchi could see this young man’s actions, he might call out, "The sycophant has stood up."

As for Zhou Xingcai, she surely couldn’t rest tonight.

A half-hour after the young man left.

She barely returned to her senses from waves of fear, her mind filled with two words.

"Yuchi."

Zhou Xingcai was utterly puzzled by this young man; killing him should be as simple as squashing an ant.

Yet, suddenly, so many things had emerged.

Now even Yuan Tiangang from the Demon-slaying Bureau came to look for her.

Layers of mist enshrouded Zhou Xingcai’s mind.

She didn’t know when she fell asleep from terror.

She had a nightmare.

Zhou Xingcai dreamed of Yuchi sitting atop a little yellow duck, its beak opening, revealing rows of sharp teeth.

Only then she noticed the rope hanging from Yuchi’s neck...

It seemed to be the scene of his execution by the Cloud Mountain Sect.

"Chairman Yuchi."

"Love me once more."

"I’ll behave, Cai’Er will behave..."

...

In Jiangzhou City, the next day, the birds chirped and the flowers blossomed, while the avenue lined with green trees on both sides was very lush.

The temperature showed signs of warming.

However, the citizens of Jiangzhou City knew the usual pattern.

After the temperature rises, just wait for a rain to fall, then you’ll feel the tiny feet of winter.

Coming after, Jiangzhou City’s winter would start to become colder.

Early morning, on the street.

A girl wearing a White Fox Mask walked silently.

Passersby admired the girl’s back; she looked very beautiful.

Wearing a soft white long dress, adorned with a White Fox Mask that appeared quite intriguing.
