"I hate you."
When Huo Ci said these three words, the wound on the back of his hand was bleeding. He didn't look down, he just let the blood flow down and fall on the floor drop by drop.
Shen Yuchuan didn't understand. He helped Huo Ci get rid of the mole, won the Qingyuan project, and became the CEO of Yuanzhi. He even felt sincere in the process. Isn't this a win-win?
What he didn't know was that Huo Ci had lived for twenty-eight years and never trusted anyone. When he was seven years old, he picked up half a box of ice cream left by others and took a lick of it. He was called "shameful". From then on, he learned one thing: whatever you want will be taken away from you.
But Shen Yuchuan appeared. That person remembered that he didn't eat spicy food, stayed with him until the early hours of the morning during his most difficult time, and gave him a stuffed rabbit as a gift. Huo Ci told himself that if there is a purpose, there is a purpose, as long as the good things are true.
He believed it. He gave Shen Yuchuan all the things that no one had ever given him.
Then he discovered that he had been deceived.
The Qingyuan project was stopped. Shen Yuchuan's bargaining chip was gone. He went around trying to find a way to see Huo Ci, but Huo Ci closed the door.
Huo Ci sat in the ruins and looked at the scar on the back of his hand. He wanted Shen Yuchuan to know what it felt like to be deceived. What it feels like to be taken advantage of.
This was a trapped beast fight that started with calculation, and both of them thought they would win.
But they forgot that when trapped animals fight against each other, they will only fall together in the end.
"How many of those are true?"
"Yes. But it's just good, nothing else."
"Do you know what I mean?"
"I know."
