Chapter 186: Sisters in the Bunk Beds
When the lights went out, the room was surprisingly quiet.
Lying in Li Huizhen’s bed, Lin Fan wrapped his arms around this familiar body.
At first, neither of them spoke. After all, too much had happened in the two months since their breakup. Neither could have imagined they would share a bed again, but after more than a year of living together, they had grown accustomed to each other’s bodies and naturally knew each other’s most comfortable positions.
"I’m sorry."
After a long while, Li Huizhen finally broke the silence. Those simple three words were laden with immeasurable guilt and self-reproach, and of course, there was also a sense of helplessness and powerlessness.
"There’s no need to apologize, everything’s in the past now. Look forward."
Lin Fan held Li Huizhen’s delicate body. Had it been two months earlier, he would never have been able to do this, but over these months, his worldview had been continuously shattered by the evils of human nature. Now he truly dared not face the greed and endless desires of humanity. After all, he too was deeply mired in it and couldn’t extricate himself.
With his newly established worldview, although not particularly perverse, he had come to understand things he previously couldn’t. If it had to be said that Li Huizhen had betrayed him, then who had he betrayed now? If another woman had tried to use her charms on him back then, would he have also chosen to betray, just like Li Huizhen?
There were too many "what ifs" to consider, and he dared not ponder them any longer, only knowing that as pawns, both of them were being pushed forward. Only by becoming strong enough could they turn the tables and become the players, controlling the life and death decisions of others. This felt just like Zhou Daguai now, who with just a thought, could soar high or crash to pieces.
Therefore, at this moment, he wanted only to enjoy the boundless tenderness; all sentiments of past love and hate had already faded.
"Thank you!"
