Chapter 817 - 655: I’m Not Him (2)_3
Even though being locked in the Abyss due to losing control back then was a helpless act, now that Jin is clearly recovering, he keeps obstructing him again and again, even as if he wants to kill him. This can’t help but make people doubt, what exactly does this Family Head intend to do?
"Why didn’t you say the injury was so bad? Let me heal you first!"
Jin didn’t want to owe her any favors again, he tried to struggle, but because the injury was too severe, he couldn’t muster any strength, and eventually his wrist was held by Shen Tang.
A healing ability as gentle as a spring breeze flowed into his body, meticulously repairing every injury, even the shattered internal organs gradually healed. Jin’s tense body slowly relaxed.
This power was too familiar, so familiar that it felt like he was gently enveloped. But ever since he knew the truth, he could no longer accept this "love" calmly.
He looked at the female earnestly healing him in front of him, and there was a faint pain in a corner of his heart.
He withdrew his hand, took two steps back, "...I’ve made it very clear, you don’t need to follow me. How many times do I have to say it?"
"Fine, even if we don’t have a relationship, at least we know each other. How can I possibly leave you with such injuries?" Shen Tang was also a bit angry, "Even if it were a stranger, I would still help."
"Then let it end here." Jin no longer argued, coldly leaving a sentence behind, and was about to leave.
But when he turned around, he found the female still following him. His fist suddenly clenched, his eyes darkened,
"Get lost, don’t force me to act!"
Shen Tang lifted her face, fearlessly meeting his gaze. Those bright eyes intertwined with love, sadness, persistence, and anger, as if to ask, do you really dare to act?
"..."
Jin’s breath hitched, as if scalded, he awkwardly shifted his gaze, his voice cold and harsh,
"For the last time, I no longer love you, seeing you just annoys me. Don’t follow me again."
He tugged at the corner of his mouth, his words as sharp as a knife,
"Isn’t clinging like this disgraceful?"
Shen Tang trembled with anger, "Fine, I can leave! But before that, you have to seriously answer one question for me."
"...Speak."
"What exactly happened that night? Did Yue Lin say something to you?"
She still couldn’t believe that a person’s attitude could change so completely overnight. Even if she had to leave, she had to understand the reason.
Jin, "It has nothing to do with him."
"Then I need a reason!"
Jin’s Adam’s apple bobbed as he suppressed his surging emotions, lifting his eyes to look at her, the corners of his mouth slowly curled into a mocking arc,
"I admit I liked you before. But after knowing your identity, I no longer like you."
He walked closer step by step. His tall figure cast an oppressive shadow, completely enveloping her.
He pinched her chin, looking down from above, his tone contemptuous,
"No matter how beautiful you are, you’re still a low-class female stowaway from the Experimental Star, fit to be my partner?"
"That I haven’t exposed you is already out of past sentiment. If you’re wise, disappear on your own."
Shen Tang felt her heart violently shake, he actually knew! This meant he had seen that Memory Crystal Stone.
The Stone recorded her past with Xiao Jin, naturally also including her origins.
So that night after he watched the Stone, his attitude suddenly changed.
The reason he treated her coldly and spoke harshly was because she was from the Experimental Star—someone he considered a lowly, inferior female, and felt she had sullied his identity?
Even though Jin was pursued by Shou He, the blood running through his veins was still purely from the Hunting Leopard Clan, and moreover, he was the Young Master of the Hunting Leopard Clan. How could he accept a "lowly" female from the Experimental Star as his partner? That would be a disgrace to him.
Shen Tang only felt as if a heavy hammer had struck her chest, stumbling back half a step, her face full of disbelief. Ridiculous, and laughable.
"Is this your answer?"
Suddenly, she didn’t know what to say. It seemed whatever she said would seem laughable, yet not saying anything and just leaving, her steps felt too heavy to move.
Eventually, she merely asked bitterly, "Those memories... don’t you care?"
Jin’s face was expressionless, he only coolly spat out four words,
"Utterly boring."
More hurtful than saying "I don’t care."
The sweet warmth she cherished in her heart was merely an immature and boring past to him, something he wished to discard immediately, and he even wanted to rid himself of her.
Shen Tang felt like her heart was being gripped tightly by a hand, sore and painful. Her eyes reddened uncontrollably, she still unresignedly trembled as she asked,
"Did you... really finish watching those memories?"
He grew more impatient, "Does it matter?"
"Ah Jin..."
"Don’t call me that!"
Like a dormant volcano suddenly erupting, Jin’s temple veins bulged, the force in his hand was so great it nearly crushed her jaw.
He stared at her with bloodshot eyes, roaring angrily,
"Look carefully, I’m not him!"
