After My Death, The Villain Blackened Again: Chapter 57
ARC 2: THE FILM EMPEROR FROM HUMBLE ORIGINS (13)
Her fingers made contact with his abdomen, and the numbness from that place spread to the rest of his body. He feared he would shiver the moment he moved and could only remain very still.
"Why do you have a knife wound here?" Yan Ge's fingers followed the long and terrible scar on him. She sounded incredibly distressed when she asked again: "You're still a child, how come you have such a long scar?"
Qi Yuan met her gaze and the silky brush of her fingertips that caused an intense collision on his body transformed into an indescribable softness. In a dumb voice, he replied: "Was stabbed. I got into fights as a kid."
"You're still a kid." Yan Ge patted his shoulder: "You now have a sister to cover for you. Tell Jie if anyone dares to bully you."
Qi Yuan glanced at her skinny arms: "You can fight?"
Yan Ge shook her head: "How can I? Us siblings should conspire together, that way we can pit people without fighting them."
Her self-confidence rendered him speechless, but he felt as if feathers had brushed over his heart and he couldn't calm down for a long time.
In one afternoon, the study desk had been moved to the living room while the bed had been installed in it's former place.
The original curtains in the study room were replaced with a dark blue suitable for boys. Yan Ge looked about the space with great satisfaction and said to Qi Yuan: "This bedroom's a bit small. Bear with it for now until Jie gets us a bigger house."
Qi Yuan sat on the bed with dark blue checkered sheets. One side of the blanket had the same pattern while the reverse side had the image of Superman.
It was such a childish blanket. When the woman first laid eyes on it, she immediately chose the set and actually smiled as she spoke about how it suited his age.
At the time, he inwardly ridiculed her, but the heart that always criticized her had slowly calmed down at this moment.
He can't believe this is his bed, that this is his bedroom.
His hand unknowingly grabbed the quilt for a moment.
Can he sleep on this bed for a lifetime?
As soon as this thought came out, his heart seemed to suddenly fall from the clouds straight into the abyss.
This was was just a momentary whim of a woman in an unhappy marriage. She was looking for some excitement and he was only a pet-like existence in her life.
This was a temporary base area.
Yan Ge was keenly aware of Qi Yuan's emotional changes but she didn't care at all! Qi Yuan has been displaced since childhood and his mind was more sensitive than ordinary people. Such people may initially be mistrustful and unwilling to receive the goodwill of others, but once accepted, they will do so for a lifetime.
Yan Ge squandered a lot of time with him. The bedroom was tidied up and she helped hang up all of his clothes in the closet. Yan Ge casually brought up the question: "Is there anything you want to learn or do you want to go to university? What are your plans for the future? "
Plans? When Qi Yuan heard the words, a light streaked through his vacant eyes.
He used to have many dreams, but they were gone now. He has no plans or ideas for the future. He was just taking it one step at a time.
Yan Ge hesitated when she saw him like this and simply said: “I was thinking of first getting you a private tutor so you can adjust for a while then send you to high school. You've been away from school for a long time and might be uncomfortable when you go back. Learning will be somewhat difficult, but that doesn’t matter. We have lots of time and it's not like you have to study very well. You're only going to school to interact with your peers.”
Qi Yuan stared at Yan Ge in astonishment. The woman's didn't seem to be joking. After meeting his gaze, she even smiled at him kindly.
His throat rolled, and his fingers inadvertently squeezed together.
Could it be she really wants to treat him as a brother?
Yeah! Finally considers it!!
