In the bedroom, the crystal chandelier was turned on and the room was as bright as day. 13579246810ggaax
At this point, the two of them stood facing each other, but neither of them spoke.
The room was silent again.
Shen Liangchuan didn't even bend down to pick up the towel that had fallen to the floor.
He looked straight at Qiao Lian, his eyes flashing with a sadness that no one had noticed.
Yes.
He should have known. She was so smart, surely she would have sensed something.
He cast his gaze down slowly.
Her words, rather than a question, were more of an affirmation.
Indeed, after some time, she slowly relaxed her grip and said, "That Zhou Song is Soul Fighter's real name. He's Song Yuanxi's brother, isn't that right?"
Shen Liangchuan froze.
-
Many things had happened today and the messages that Qiao Lian had received were a mess.
On the surface, she looked as though she was busy celebrating the new year with Xia Yehua, but in fact, she had been thinking.
It was only now that she had sorted out her thoughts.
Although Shen Liangchuan hadn't answered her question, she had already confirmed her suspicions.
Soul Fighter.
So that person was Soul Fighter.
She gulped and stared at Shen Liangchuan, waiting for his final answer.
He stood there, his deep eyes becoming sharp and deep. Then, he slowly said, "Yes, it is."
Yes, the answer was that he was Soul Fighter.
Yes, the answer was that Song Yuanxi was Soul Fighter's sister.
Qiao Lian clenched her fists tightly at once.
She recalled that the day of Zhou Song's car accident had been the day she had arranged to meet Shen Liangchuan. Then she recalled that the day of Zhou Song's death had been the day Shen Liangchuan had called her and said he wouldn't see her again.
So what had happened eight years ago had something to do with Soul Fighter?
She took a step forward and looked steadily at Shen Liangchuan. "How did Soul Fighter die?"
Shen Liangchuan pursed his lips.
Qiao Lian grabbed his arm and asked, "Does it have anything to do with me?"
"No," he answered quickly, as though he wanted to distance himself from her.
But his expression made it clear that it had nothing to do with her.
She bit her lip and said, "If it doesn't matter, then why does Song Yuanxi keep saying that I'm her enemy?"
Shen Liangchuan jerked his head around and stared at her.
There was a hint of struggle in his sharp eyes.
Qiao Lian looked at him steadily, seeking an answer.
However, Shen Liangchuan's jaw tightened. After a pause, he said, "She misunderstood."
A misunderstanding?
What happened eight years ago must have been a misunderstanding!
She had done nothing!
She hadn't even seen Soul Fighter's face. So, how could she have harmed him?
Qiao Lian took a step forward and was about to say something when he suddenly bent down and picked up the towel. "I'm going to take a shower."
Then, he strode into the bathroom and closed the door.
Qiao Lian stood outside, staring at the bathroom door.
Suddenly, he felt very powerless. Why was it that there were some things that he was not willing to say?
Was it so hard to tell her the truth?
She took a deep breath, lowered her head, then walked to the bed and sat down.
-
Shen Liangchuan's bath lasted for more than half an hour.
The image of Qiao Lian's face kept appearing in front of his eyes.
He didn't know how to face her.
It involved what had happened eight years ago.
He took a deep breath, wrapped the towel around himself and walked out of the bathroom.
