The neighbor noticed that her face had suddenly turned pale. She could not help asking out of concern. "Are you alright, young lady?"
Lu Xia forced herself to remain calm. She shook her head and said, "I'm fine. Thank you for showing me the way."
"You're welcome." The neighbor waved her hand and quickly left.
Lu Xia stood rooted to the ground. She did not know whether she should leave or stay.
She did not know why Huo Yulin was here. She did not know if he had heard her mention that she was a distant relative...
Lu Xia felt a little frustrated. She did not dare to look at him because she felt a little scared when she saw him.
Huo Yulin walked a few steps forward with the soy sauce in his hand. He looked at Lu Xia calmly as though he was looking at a stranger. "A leopard never changes its spots. I haven't seen you for so many years, but you are still so hypocritical."
Lu Xia's face turned even paler. He had indeed heard what she said. She inhaled deeply and said, "Third... Brother Yulin, when did you come back?"
"Who gave you permission to call me that?" Huo Yulin's eyes narrowed and his voice suddenly turned icy.
Lu Xia instinctively shuddered and took a step back. "I..."
She wanted to say something, but she could not say a word because of the shock in his eyes.
She still remembered the way he looked at her after he woke up during the kidnapping. His eyes were filled with hatred. Even now, that gaze was forever etched in her mind.
Now that it had been so many years, that hatred seemed to have disappeared. However, there seemed to be something even more frightening about him.
"Have you forgotten how cruel you used to be?" Huo Yulin's lips twitched. The cold wind blew across his face. It was bone-chilling.
Lu Xia's forgotten memories started surging wildly in her mind when she heard this.
She remembered being caught when she was very young. The other party held a knife and seemed to want to cut off her flesh piece by piece.
She was terrified at the time. Coincidentally, her third older brother appeared when she was kidnapped. He came to save her... She could not remember what happened after that. She only knew that she ran away.
She did not dare tell her parents because of her fear. It had been a long time since her parents found out about Huo Yulin's kidnapping.
She didn't know how Huo Yulin was found, but from then on, her relationship with Huo Yulin fell to the freezing point.
The only thing she was glad about was that Huo Yulin had become autistic due to the kidnapping. He didn't say a word all day and didn't tell his family what had happened.
She was young at the time, and her memory was fuzzy. Later, his family moved, and Huo Yulin was sent abroad to study. He never came back.
Lu Xia tried hard to get rid of the memories that surged in her mind. She shook her head and explained incoherently, "I-I'm sorry. I'm afraid of what happened that year. I know I shouldn't have pushed you out, but I had no choice. I also want to live …"
It was a person's instinct to desperately want to live. Although she felt guilty, she didn't think it was wrong for her to live.
Huo Yulin stared coldly at Lu Xia. Although she was apologizing, he did not see any trace of guilt on her face. This was the ruthless nature that was ingrained in her bones.
Lu Xia bit her lip and said, "I was young at the time, so I shouldn't have done it. But it has been so many years. Plus... Aren't you standing here in one piece?"
