Patient with No Empathy VS Slow-Moving, Gentle Surgeon
Before meeting Ye Linxi:
Lu Cheng: "What does it feel like to like someone?"
Jin Jingxuan thought for a moment. "You see her and your heart beats faster. You want to get closer to her, and to make her feel safe in any way you can."
Jin Jingxuan was a straightforward man. Those were the only things he could think of.
Lu Cheng's eyes dimmed. His voice was low. "I don't know."
He had never felt anything like that, nor understood it.
Having no empathy was like being someone who couldn't feel pain and being asked what pain felt like. There was no answer.
Just hearing the name Lu Cheng made many people shudder. He had no feelings; his soul was dead. Cold as ice, he was nothing but a machine that followed orders.
He was the most obedient captain, and the most merciless man of all.
At thirteen, he witnessed people reduced to nothing but bones. He emerged from the darkest, filthiest depths, stepping over the remains.
But only Ye Linxi had seen Lu Cheng's temper flare when he was hungry, his impatience as he tried to learn how to smile, and his relentless persistence as he repeatedly pushed his luck, asking her to stay by his side.
"Jiu'er, keep your eyes on me and keep me in check. You're the last bit of humanity I have left in this world."
She was his salvation, and the only warmth he had in this world.
Ye Linxi was a gentle girl. Her hands never fired a gun; they only saved people.
She stood at the gates of hell and said to the man within, "You're a demon, and I'm willing to be your angel. I'll stand here and wait for you to come to me."
You protect this world. I'll protect you.
