Flowers bloom without worries

Chapter 157 Painful Past (2)

"In this way, I became the best and most advanced killer in the organization. Countless difficult and dangerous tasks were naturally entrusted to me. Every time, I was able to complete the task with a near-perfect attitude, but the price of these successes was huge - I would live in endless darkness forever. I lost myself, without a real identity and a name of my own. Because I had many enemies, once my true identity was exposed, my enemies would take my life without hesitation."

"As time went by, I gradually became cold and heartless, as if I had lost all my emotions. When faced with those who begged for their lives in front of me, my heart was not moved at all. However, despite this, I am still just an ordinary person, longing to live an ordinary life. So, I made up my mind and asked the organization to retire. The organization told me that as long as I could complete the last assassination mission, they would agree to my request to retire."

"I agreed. Although he tried to dissuade me, my desire for a normal life was too strong, so I finally accepted the mission. However, I was too righteous. What I didn't expect was that all this was an elaborate trap! How could the organization let me go so easily? They set a trap to lure me into it, but I fell into it without realizing it. In the end, the organization sent someone to end my life..."

"My comrades who once fought side by side left me one after another. The funny thing is that I actually believed the lies of the organization! Is this my destined fate? Someone like me with blood on my hands and who has killed countless people, perhaps I shouldn't expect anything. I paid too much for the so-called justice..." Lan Xi narrated all this calmly, as if these things had nothing to do with her, but there was no fluctuation in Lan Xi's heart.

Xiao Chuhan silently watched Lan Xi in front of him and listened to her story. Xiao Chuhan's eyes were full of heartache, but he didn't know how to comfort her. Compared with You'er, Lan Xi's fate was more difficult. Xiao Chuhan couldn't help but stretch out his hand, wanting to give Lan Xi a warm hug, but finally retracted his hand.

Lan Xi showed a bitter smile on her face: "Why, you sympathize with me? Let me tell you, I hate being sympathized with by others the most! This is my own choice. No matter how difficult it is, I will go on firmly."

Xiao Chuhan responded distressedly: "It must be very painful, right? You have many wounds on your body! But those wounds are probably not as severe as the pain you are enduring in your heart. However, please believe that you will no longer have to live in pain, and everything will slowly get better."

Lan Xi slowly looked at Xiao Chuhan beside her. Since she entered the profession of assassin, no one had ever really cared about her inner feelings. Even Gu Tingyan only cared about his own injuries, but never knew that compared with the pain in his body, the pain deep in his heart was more severe. It was an indescribable pain that far exceeded the physical trauma.

"Lan Xi...I wonder if I can call you that?" Xiao Chuhan asked softly.

"Of course...." Lan Xi responded after a slight hesitation.

Xiao Chuhan then said: "Lanxi, from now on, I will protect you and will never let you get hurt again. I want to take you to appreciate the magnificent beauty of this vast mountain and river, and heal your past traumas. Do you think it's okay?"

After saying that, Xiao Chuhan extended his hand to Lan Xi, his eyes full of sincerity and expectation.

Lan Xi stared at the hand that Xiao Chuhan stretched out in front of him, hesitant in his heart. Lan Xi's eyes stayed on that hand for a long time, and finally withdrew his hand silently. Xiao Chuhan's face showed a trace of disappointment, but Xiao Chuhan knew that time would prove everything. Since God let them meet, it means that there must be some kind of connection and bond between them that is difficult to break. As long as she is still around, he firmly believes that time will slowly prove everything.

"Xiao Chuhan, don't worry, I will definitely find a way to bring You'er back. You care so much about You'er, I will definitely find a way to bring You'er back to you." Lan Xi said firmly.

"Therefore, I must swallow the poison as soon as possible. Only in this way can I meet Wuyou again and tell her everything that happened in recent days. Then, why not set it for tomorrow! Tomorrow, I will go to Hanyou Garden to pick flowers, use them to boil the potion and drink it all in one gulp."

"No! I will never allow you to act like this!"

"Xiao Chuhan, please stop hesitating! Don't you want to see Wuyou?"

Xiao Chuhan slowly approached Lan Xi and said firmly: "Although I also long to see You'er, compared to meeting You'er, I don't want to see you hurting your body. I am afraid..."

"What are you afraid of?"

"I am afraid of losing you! I am afraid that I will never meet you again."

At this moment, Xiao Chuhan no longer concealed the emotions that had been hidden in his heart for a long time, and poured out the words that had been buried deep in his heart.

Lan Xi heard what Xiao Chuhan said, and she took a few steps back in shock. However, she soon regained her composure.

"Xiao Chuhan, you shouldn't have such inappropriate feelings for me. After all, I will leave eventually." Lan Xi's words made both of them fall into silence.
