Yi Chengxuan laughed self-deprecatingly. “Am I someone important to you?”

Yue Xin asked, “You’ve taught me a lot. No matter what your goal is, I’m still grateful to you. You said that I have to return a favor.”

Yi Chengxuan didn’t expect that Yue Xin would use such a place to return the favor one day. He lowered his head and smiled.

Unlike his usual restrained and perfect smile, Yi Chengxuan’s smile now had a murderous aura that made one shiver. He walked to the table, opened another bottle of wine, and asked Yue Xin, “If you don’t want to leave, do you want to drink?”

Yue Xin shook her head. “No.”

Yi Chengxuan didn’t force her. He took the bottle and sat on the bed again, as he started to drink.

Yue Xin didn’t say anything, and neither did Yi Chengxuan. There was only the strong smell of alcohol, blood, suppressed cries, and the swallowing sound of wine in the throat.

“Yi Chengxuan, what exactly are you doing?”

Yi Chengxuan had already finished a bottle of wine and was staring blankly out of the window. Hearing this, he turned to look at Yue Xin, his eyes shining with a light that had never been there before. “I want to be a hero.”

Yue Xin was puzzled. “Hero?”

“Yes, a hero. I want to be a hero, but… not everyone can be a hero. A person like me has already used all my strength to reach this step. No matter how many times I do it again, this is all I can do. I can’t be a hero. I’m too weak…

“You’re not weak.” Yue Xin walked over and took the bottle from Yi

Chengxuan’s hand. “Don’t drink anymore.”

Yi Chengxuan let Yue Xin take the wine bottle from his hand. He didn’t struggle and just looked at Yue Xin quietly. “You’re different. You’re different from me.

You’re a natural hero.”

Yue Xin didn’t know what was wrong with Yi Chengxuan. She had never thought of herself as a hero, but she didn’t refute. She just held Yi Chengxuan’s hand and brought him to the bed. “Okay, go to sleep.”

Yi Chengxuan grabbed Yue Xin’s hand, but Yue Xin could easily break free. He asked, “What about you?”

Yue Xin looked at the dumplings she had brought over and hesitated for a long time before saying, “I’ll stay with you here.” With that, she touched her earphones and contacted No.12. “Don’t wait for me. I’ll go back tomorrow.”

In the past, when Yue Xin gave an order to No.12, he would only reply with an “Okay.” There was no other answer, but today, Yue Xin heard a completely different answer.

No.12’s voice was filled with worry and a hint of questioning. “Where are you? Do you need me to go over?”

Yue Xin looked at Yi Chengxuan, who had slowly lost his consciousness because of the alcohol, and replied, “No need. You can eat the dumplings with

Aya and Alex.”

Yue Xin felt that No. 12 still wanted to say something, but she hung up before No. 12 could speak. It was better to hide what he had to say in his heart. They had a tacit understanding.

Yue Xin sat on the sofa in Yi Chengxuan’s bedroom and did not sleep the entire night. Because of this, she was lucky to see Yi Chengxuan sobbing in his sleep.

Yue Xin also tried to think about sadness and cried along with the atmosphere, but she couldn’t cry. After that time, she couldn’t cry anymore. In Denise’s words, she might have shed all the tears of her life when Maya died. Now that she thought about it, it should be true.

The smell of alcohol in her nose did not dissipate for a long time. Usually, Yi Chengxuan had a calming sandalwood scent, but now, she had to deliberately distinguish it to find some residue.

At eight in the morning, Yi Chengxuan opened his eyes punctually. At this moment, he met Yue Xin’s gaze not far away. The two of them exchanged glances and knew what each other meant.

Yue Xin knew that Yi Chengxuan didn’t want to use the excuse of being drunk to evade what happened last night. Yi Chengxuan also knew that Yue Xin had already seen his ugly state, but was still suspicious.

Yue Xin saw that Yi Chengxuan had woken up. She stood up as if nothing had happened and walked to the table. She picked up the dumplings that she had not cooked yesterday and asked, “Do you want dumplings? They’re stuffed with crab roe.”

Yi Chengxuan looked at the dumplings in Yue Xin’s hand and was stunned for a moment. “You made them?”

Yue Xin shook her head. “Alex made them. He made them look good.”

Yi Chengxuan nodded. “Leave them there. I’ll cook them later.”

Yue Xin had a special talent in cooking. He was not very willing to be Yue Xin’s guinea pig. As long as it was not made by Yue Xin, it was fine.

But Yue Xin seemed dissatisfied with Yi Chengxuan’s answer. “It’s time for breakfast..
