Jiang Chengxu no longer had the possibility to do anything with Manman; he used every ans to torture Manman until she was covered in wounds, constantly begging for rcy.
Jiang Chengxu finally experienced a little bit of the pleasure of being human.
As night fell, he sat by the window, watching the flickering lights outside. The hanging sky was like black velvet, with a few stars competing to twinkle.
So clean, so bright.
At his feet lay the equally wretched Manman.
Blood spread across the floor.
The starlight shivered at the window, not daring to co in. In the dim night, all that could be seen was Manman’s body slightly heaving with her difficult breaths, proving she was still alive.
No amount of "hate" could express the feelings in their hearts at this mont!
"Die with , will you?" Jiang Chengxu leaned down, gripping Manman’s chin with his twisted, deford hand. As his ghostly face approached, Manman woke from a nightmare.
"Ah!" She scread, the terror in her eyes pleased Jiang Chengxu, "No, don’t co near !"
Manman wanted to move, but her entire body was paralyzed with pain.
"Not co over? How can we be husband and wife if I don’t co over?" Jiang Chengxu cursed, "Bitch, is this what you want? So many n in the world, why did you fixate on ? You even dared to set fire to . Xu Manman, run, run, why couldn’t you escape from my grasp?"
He laughed eerily, like a vulture, terrifying to the extre!
"Brother Chengxu, don’t be like this, it wasn’t who set the fire, it wasn’t . I know nothing about it. When I woke up, I was already at the foot of the mountain. I heard soone set you on fire. I didn’t dare to go back.
I was wrong, I was really wrong, the one I like is you! Brother Chengxu, please let go!" Manman knew that falling into his hands ant a fate worse than death.
"Just kill , Brother Chengxu!"
"No one believes that I liked her. I liked her, I dread of marrying her, Xu Manman, it was you, you two bitches caused to lose her, you deserve to die!"
Jiang Chengxu beca agitated, "Let you go? Dream on, I won’t let you go, I won’t let you go, I will drag you to hell with !"
He beca agitated, flailing his arms uncontrollably, and suddenly collided with a table, the remaining nerves only bringing him pain. He imdiately curled up, hugging his twisted arm, inhaling in pain.
The candle on the table rolled off, igniting Manman’s clothes. She scread in pain, desperately crying and rolling.
Jiang Chengxu looked as if watching a wonderful puppet show, laughing eerily as he kicked the candle on the floor towards Manman. The extinguished candle fell directly onto Manman’s hair.
Her hair, not washed for months and full of greasy dirt, quickly caught fire. She scread, shaking her head, as flas spread along the curtains.
The dim room was illuminated by firelight, wind blowing in from outside, the flas burning, leaping in the dark night, chasing freedom.
Jiang Chengxu watched the dancing Fla Elf, his eyes reflecting two bright flas, a smile slowly spreading across his face.
What wrongs has he committed in his life?
His only mistake was not pushing Manman away from the start, but he never had any inappropriate thoughts towards Manman. His heart was solely set on marrying Xu Qinghuan.
This single mistake pushed him into an abyss.
Thus, he hated Xu Qinghuan for abandoning him. He once thought of making her turn back, wanting to punish her, but he had long lost all strength in this entanglent with Manman.
Manman was still crawling out, terrified.
It was as if she returned to that night, standing on the cliff far from the Shangjiang Team, watching the flas at the youth point climb higher, imagining how Jiang Chengxu and Qu Qiongfang struggled inside, how did they die?
This ti, it was her turn.
"Brother Chengxu, run, run! You’ll be burned to death!"
She ramd her head against the tightly closed door, her burned scalp in such pain it made her feel worse than death, but she still wanted to escape, not wanting to be burned to death, not wanting to be smashed by the collapsing beams, nor to be burned into a figure more terrifying than a ghost like Jiang Chengxu.
Jiang Chengxu, however, hadn’t snapped back, still staring exhilaratedly at the firelight, seemingly seeing the mont when he was once engaged to Xu Qinghuan, though she too was happy then.
"When I got engaged to Jiang Chengxu, it wasn’t for anything else, it was thinking of breaking away from the Xu Family, and once I had a family, I’d have so capital to compete with Song Wanlin."
Xu Qinghuan hugged Jiang Xingye from behind, "Aye, don’t be angry, do you know how hard you are to coax when you’re angry!"
She was about twenty centiters shorter than Jiang Xingye, slightly bending, her face could only rest on his shoulder blade, a bit hard even while Jiang Xingye held back his back.
He subconsciously didn’t want to show her his hard side.
He pressed his lips, eventually speaking in a muffled voice, "I’m not angry."
He indeed had no right to be angry. When they got engaged, he didn’t even know Xu Qinghuan existed.
But he was a little angry, angry at the heavens for sending Xu Qinghuan so late.
"Aye, you see, I’ve never been angry with you. When I ca to the Shangjiang Team, I put in so much effort to catch up with you. One morning, when I blocked your tractor, you were fierce with , fierce in front of so many people, and I thought, this person is so fierce, forget it!"
Jiang Xingye got anxious at this, turning around to pull Xu Qinghuan into his arms, using force with his two arms, as hard as steel cast.
"Don’t you dare leave , I wasn’t fierce, I was scared!" He naturally rembered that day, her eyes were red; then, he had an uncontrollable urge to hold her and comfort her.
He thought she looked so beautiful when she cried; if she cried in bed, he couldn’t resist.
"Scared of what?" Xu Qinghuan climbed on his shoulder, her legs wrapped around his waist like vines.
"Afraid I couldn’t stop in ti, afraid I’d hit you." His arms supported her, face buried in her chest, "Afraid I couldn’t resist kissing you in front of so many people. From the first mont I saw you, I’ve wanted you, every mont!"
Heart seed to be tossed, a feeling of weightlessness, Xu Qinghuan hugged his head, "So early? When I was pestering you, you were so cold, like you were disgusted with ."
"Never disgusted, just afraid I couldn’t resist, afraid you’d report as a hooligan."
Who knew she’d be so bold then, scared of snakes, she climbed onto him,
He looked up at her, "What if you married Jiang Chengxu, what would I do?"
Xu Qinghuan laughed and bit his nose, "That’s impossible, I would never marry him. With you, I wouldn’t marry him."
"But there was no then."
"But I knew you were out there, so I didn’t marry him, pulled all kinds of tricks to deceive them all, and went to the countryside to find you."
Jiang Xingye captured the mouth that was always talking, kissing her amid the sky full of fire, the sound of fire trucks roaring past their ears, billowing smoke covering the sky above East District, twisting into a hideous face, overlooking the ground and those wrapped in flas.
