Su Qi'an pulls me into his arms, squeezing so tightly my bones ache.
He presses his lips to my ear and murmurs in a hoarse voice, “In this life, you can only be mine. In every life to come, you’ll be bound to me forever.”
On the first day after I transmigrate into a book, the System tells me that if I don’t win over this villain, he’ll chop me up and feed me to a monster. I’m too scared to refuse, so I grit my teeth and approach him.
Only after getting close do I realize the way he looks at me is becoming increasingly strange.
He shields me, catching a wolf’s claw in his bare hands; he remembers that I like sweet-and-sour fish and buys some early in the morning, leaving it by the corner of my desk; he hides his bloodstained old clothes just because I once said, “Doing laundry is such a hassle.”
I always thought he was getting better.
Until one night, right in front of me, he crushed a massive formation. More than a dozen people died without even managing to scream. He stood in a pool of blood and looked up. The moment his eyes met mine, my whole body began to tremble.
He climbed the stairs one step at a time, pushed open my bedroom door, and locked it behind him.
His fingertips brushed my cheek. He pressed his forehead to mine, his eyes filled with twisted madness.
“Are you afraid of me now?”
“If other people fear me, I can just kill them. But not you.”
“How can you... be afraid of me too?”
That was when I understood: he had never gotten better.
He had simply been hiding who he was from me for a long time.
