Chapter 24: His Secret

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

If He Xun didn’t come back tonight, it would be her chance. What was going on with his body? Maybe he was hiding it there. Chen Wei’er cheered herself on and sneaked into He Xun’s room.

As soon as she entered, she saw that the clothes she had bought for He Xun were all scattered on the floor. Did he not like them?

Chen Wei’er was a little depressed. She turned around and walked to the bookshelf, pulling open the only book that was free of dust.

‘Squeak!’

The dustless book was truly not a book at all. It was a mechanism wrapped in a book cover. As she pulled it out, the entire bookshelf moved to the left, opening a secret passage that could be entered by one person.

Chen Wei’er’s heart was about to jump out of her chest. Her palms were sweating, but she still mustered her courage and walked in. It seemed to be a small study room with only a table and a chair. There was also a large stack of notebooks on the table.

Chen Wei’er stepped forward. In every book, the words “about her” were written. She randomly picked one and looked at it carefully. She was sure that it was a woman and not a man. Fortunately, He Xun liked girls, so she still had a chance. However, she also realized that this was He Xun’s diary.

[She appeared again today. She thought about it and surrounded me like a child, chattering and begging me to go to the amusement park. It was obvious that she was an adult, but when she acted coquettishly, she was like a little cutie. In the end, we went to the amusement park. There were a lot of people at the amusement park today. She saw that many children were holding a balloon in their hands. She was probably afraid that it would be difficult to find it if it was crowded, so she also asked for one when she saw it.]

[She extended her hand for me to see, asking for praise, and her smug look softened my heart. However, when I opened my eyes, it changed again. The way she looked at me was like a stranger. No, there was even more disgust than a stranger would feel. People have no feelings for strangers, but she hated me and would never smile at me. I couldn’t tell her all of this. She wouldn’t give me a chance at all. She wanted to stay far away from me. Why?]

[We were so happy when we were together, why did she have to do this?]

[Slowly, I don’t want to ask her anymore. This is the last bit of face I’m saving for myself.]

Chen Wei’er was completely dumbfounded. There was too much content, so she didn’t read it in detail. However, she noticed the last sentence, “The last bit of face…”

So, it was really what she was thinking? A man’s face… Didn’t that mean that his body really couldn’t take it!

For a moment, Chen Wei’er didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Within a short period, her heart had been in turmoil. From a suspicion that He Xun liked Yang Zui, to a suspicion that he didn’t like her, and then, to the fact that there was indeed something wrong with his body.

In the end, Chen Wei’er was like a soulless shell. She walked back unsteadily. She lay on the bed like a walking corpse. Holding on to her last trace of hope, she posted.

[I have a friend. Her husband has problems in that department. What should I do?]

On the top floor of Fuji Apartment.

He Xun stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and looked down at the lights of thousands of houses. He felt sad. Everyone had a home.

Ever since Chen Wei’er had kissed his abs in the afternoon, his heart had not been calm. In the end, it could be said that he had fled in panic. Fuju was one of his properties, and it was the furthest from Dongting Lake. He had to drive for two hours. In short, the further away from her, the better. Otherwise, he was really afraid that he would not be able to control himself.

‘Di… Di…’

The surveillance camera on his phone reminded him that someone had entered his room! It couldn’t be cleaned at this time. Aunt Song always knew her limits and wouldn’t do it either. There was only one possibility. Thinking of this, He Xun’s heart started to beat wildly again. He had a premonition that Chen Wei’er would shortly find out about his secret, but he didn’t stop her. Recently, Chen Wei’er had indeed treated him differently. His heart was a mess. In the past, as long as he was more than three meters away from her, she would be like a frightened little beast and run away. Ever since her fever subsided at the hospital, everything had changed.

She took the initiative to get close to him, buy him clothes, and even kissed him. The Chen Wei’er in front of him was just like the one in his dream, but He Xun didn’t dare to act rashly because he had been disappointed too many times.

He stared at the screen and watched as Chen Wei’er opened the mechanism and walked in. His hands were trembling. If she saw it, would she understand his feelings? And then? What would she do?

He Xun thought that if she knew the truth and was still willing to get close to him, he would be willing to believe her. He could ignore any consequences, even if he were to bleed. But when he saw Chen Wei’er walk out with a solemn face without any joy, He Xun’s heart instantly turned cold. So her recent changes were simply to numb herself! She still wanted to leave!
