Chapter 835: 835
She didn’t say a word, but her tears welled and gathered behind the rims of her eyes, before they overflowed and slid down her cheeks in two streams .
The tears hung momentarily at the edge of her jaw and fell on the ground with a silent splash .
But they were like boiling hot water hitting against his heart .
There was a writhing pain inside his chest .
He quickly put the vial of medicine and the glass of water away, and fumbled around for a tissue to dry her eyes .
But the tears were now falling at an alarming rate and at last, he felt completely helpless .
He looked at her and pleaded, “Xiao Qiao, please don’t cry . I—”
Before he could finish speaking, she suddenly turned around and threw her arms around him .
“You fool! All sleeping pills have side effects, do you think I’m stupid? Why do you want to take these pills and harm yourself?”
Her crying had left him at a total loss .
He looked at her frantically and could only say repeatedly, “Don’t cry, Xiao Qiao, please don’t cry . ”
“Then promise me that you won’t take them again, ok?”
“Ok . ”
“I’ll massage you to help . I’ve learnt how to do that recently . ”
“Ok . ”
She stopped her crying, grabbed his hand tightly and threw herself into his embrace .
He lay down on the bed and she sat next to him, extending her hands to softly massage his head .
He shut his eyes .
At once, the room fell silent .
Ten minutes passed . His breathing became even, it seemed as though he had fallen asleep .
She didn’t stop .
An hour passed, he had not moved and there was no change in his breathing .
She still went on .
Two hours passed .
The man opened his eyes .
Suddenly, he turned around and held her in his arms .
He had thought that if he fell asleep, she would stop and rest .
But he had been pretending for two hours and she hadn’t stopped .
He knew that she knew he had not fallen asleep .
At this point, he could only feel that dull ache in his heart .
Qiao Lian held onto him tightly .
The two of them lay on the bed, embracing each other .
But none of them spoke . They stayed like this, eyes wide open, till the morning came .
The light broke through the clouds .
Shen Liangchuan sighed in relief, looked at the time and sat up .
He looked at Qiao Lian, bent over and kissed her on the forehead . “I’m going for some exercise, you catch up on sleep . ”
Seeing that she was still quiet, he added, “I promise you I won’t take those pills anymore . Ok?
She nodded .
He got changed into his exercise gear and headed out .
The moment he shut the room door behind him, Qiao Lian buried her head in the blanket and started to cry again .
She didn’t know why she was crying . She only knew that it would feel awful to have insomnia .
And she knew that sleeping pills would harm the body if taken in excess .
But now what could she do?
A lack of sleep, night after night, to Shen Liangchuan would be pure torture .
And at some point, the human body would break down .
What sort of burden was he bearing in his heart exactly?
Qiao Lian clutched at the blanket tightly and couldn’t stop crying .
–
While exercising, Shen Liangchuan was feeling distracted .
The insomnia he was experiencing had actually been easing up recently .
But seeing the death records of Soul Fighter had worsen things considerably .
As the cold morning air hit him, his mind started to clear up .
He understood . He had fallen into a trap .
The person who had delivered his order wasn’t Soul Fighter, but it had led him to investigate and reopen the wounds from eight years ago .
