"Don’t come near—" he shouted to stop her!

Nangong Ruyue’s footsteps halted, her eyes staring at him in a daze. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Xiao Zexin avoided her eyes and pointed to the door.

"Get out, don’t come near me!"

"Zexin?"

"Get out..."

Nangong Ruyue thought she was hearing things.

He actually asked her to leave—

"What did you say? I’m Nangong Ruyue, don’t you recognize me?"

She thought he hadn’t recovered his sanity.

Xiao Zexin’s hand behind his back clenched tighter.

His short nails were digging into his palm, as if he wanted to dig out a piece of flesh.

"Get out, I don’t want to see you, get out..." he said calmly, his eyes not looking at her.

Nangong Ruyue stared at him, finally speaking: "Do you know who I am, right?"

"..."

"What’s wrong with you, is your body uncomfortable? Or have you not completely regained your sanity?"

Xiao Zexin’s pupils slightly contracted, biting his teeth tightly.

Nangong Ruyue knew about his condition, she smiled slightly and said, "You’re afraid you’ll hurt me, so you don’t let me get close to you, right?"

"..."

"Zexin, you won’t hurt me. You didn’t hurt Yufei then, and now you won’t hurt us even more."

At the mention of Jian Yufei, Xiao Zexin’s body couldn’t help but tremble.

He remembered very clearly—

In the backyard that day, he went mad, trying to strangle his biological daughter.

He even grabbed a big stone, intending to crush her to death—

At that time, Jian Yufei’s eyes were full of terror.

Also sadness, disbelief, and despair.

[Dad—]

She shouted out with all her strength, calling him dad, her voice hoarse, filled with grief and despair.

Xiao Zexin could never forget her expression at that moment.

What happened then, in his mind, was a terrifying nightmare.

A nightmare more horrible than the end of the world!

So he frantically avoided it, not daring to recall. Even thinking a little would make him collapse.

He felt like a devil, almost killing his own daughter.

To escape that terrible nightmare.

He desperately slept, only wishing to never wake up.

But they awakened him—

He didn’t want to wake up, why did they awaken him, why?!

Xiao Zexin painfully grabbed his hair, banging his head against the wall!

"Zexin, what are you doing?!" Nangong Ruyue screamed in panic, "Stop it, you’ll hurt yourself that way!"

Nangong Ruyue ran towards him, about to reach him.

Xiao Zexin ran away in horror, quickly hiding in another corner of the wall!

"Don’t come near me, stay away from me!"

Nangong Ruyue froze in place, "Zexin, I’m Nangong Ruyue, don’t you really remember?"

"Get out, you get out, I’m begging you to get out!" Xiao Zexin glanced at her, then quickly looked away.

Both his hands were tightly clasped together, restraining one another.

And his voice was cold and resolute.

Nangong Ruyue’s heart ached in waves, "I just want you to tell me, who am I after all."

"..."

Actually, Xiao Zexin was even more miserable inside.

He didn’t want to treat her this way; she was the last person he wanted to harm in this world.

For her, more than twenty years ago, he didn’t regret losing everything.

Didn’t regret being engulfed in the sea of flames—

Even if his memory was erased, he still loved her, constantly searching for her over mountains and seas.

Even for the sake of her health, he was willing to sincerely accept Nangong Xu’s child.
