I Am A Killer

After a while, You Ming gradually opened his eyes and looked at Zhuo Xiao Xuan happily, “Xiao Ye…”

“Shut up! Don’t think I don’t dare to kill you!” Zhuo Xiao Xuan pressed the muzzle of the gun against his forehead as she growled.

“Xiao Ye, I’ve never wanted to kill you…” IAAK IS HOSTED @ ZHANLAN TL

“Shut up!” Zhuo Xiao Xuan raised her hand, irascible, as she sent him a slap. She grabbed You Ming’s collar, her eyes glaringly red, “Shut up! Shut up!”

You Ming licked the strand of blood by the tip of his mouth. His lips slanting into a bitter smile, he continued: “You were terribly poisoned and we were in no position to retaliate. Du Bu’s dozen of guards were in our pursuit; if you were captured, they’d sever your tendons and sent you to Aunt Hong’s, that’s why I stabbed you. If you died, you wouldn’t need to endure being taken advantage of by them, if you didn’t die, you would be able to find a chance to escape… even if you hate me for the rest of your life, I would do the same thing again if I was given another chance.” After saying that, he gently hugged Zhuo Xiao Xuan, “Xiao Ye, sorry, I’m too useless; I wasn’t able to protect you.”

Zhuo Xiao Xuan was rigid. At hearing him apologise again and again, her eyes reddened. From the moment she was caught and thrown into the training arena, to slowly becoming the top weapon of death, she didn’t cry when her jie jie died, nor did she cry when taking the heavy blow just before she died; crying would only make someone weak. What she needed to do was to become strong, you can only become strong in order to survive.

You Ming felt the chilliness by his neck. Releasing his grip around Zhuo Xiao Xuan, he gently pushed her away. He looked at her, she were still cold and indifferent, yet two streams of tears flowed down her eyes. Very quickly, they froze into ice in the low temperature.

You Ming raised his hand to wipe away her tear, “Xiao Ye…”

“You’re right, you did the best you could, I have no reason to hate you, nor to blame you…” Zhuo Xiao Xuan muttered. How would she not know that all this was just an excuse she found for herself to explain the fact that she wanted to stay alive. She hated the organisation Realm, hated that it ruined everything for her, and she hated You Ming, hated that she trusted him so much but ended up being stabbed to death by him… Other than hate, she could not find another reason to live. She fell of that cliff for no rhyme nor reason and came into this world. If she didn’t use “hate” as a reason, what’s there for her to hold out till now for? After being so many years as a killer, she had never thought about giving up her own live; she wanted to live, but she couldn’t find a reason for herself to live, and so this dilemma loaned her “hate” as her reconciliation.

Things were different now however; she had promised Yin Xu Dong that she had to return, alive. The burning rage was vented along with the fire of her gun previously, vanishing into thin air. She couldn’t help but laugh at herself; was this what you call, being crazy?

You Ming opened and closed his mouth for a while before asking glumly: “You managed to get rid of the poison in your body?” Z L T

Zhuo Xiao Xuan told him that the body wasn’t actually hers, she was only being reincarnated into someone else’s body, so she did not have the poison that ailed from her previous life. After which, she briefly told him about her experiences after coming to this world, and that made You Ming exclaiming in wonder.

After which, Zhuo Xiao Xuan asked: “What about you? How did you transmigrate? Did your entire body travel over with you? How are you alive without he antidote from the organisation?”

“Me? After I returned to the organisation, they reported be, and I was tortured and thrown into the mass graves. After I woke up, I found myself here, and I met Gao Zheng Ye by coincidence, so he brought me with him and healed him and even removed my poison, even though it’s a little strange for there to be a way to remove my poison here. After that, I became his bodyguard. I didn’t expect that your mission was to finish him off.”

“You won’t make it in time even if you save him now.” Zhuo Xiao Xuan slanted him a gaze.

“Heh, the moment I ran over here with you, I didn’t give anymore shits whether he lived or died.” You Ming shrugged his shoulders, learning how the people from this world did it.”

“Humph, what a competent bodyguard.” Zhuo Xiao Xuan said sarcastically.

After which, the two of them delved into awkward silence; the two of them weren’t talkative people to begin with. Back in the days, they would only converse where there was a need for them to do so; the place they were in didn’t allow them to sit down to drink some tea and chat. They were able to figure out each other’s thoughts with just one look at each other, so there wasn’t much need for them to talk either.

After a while, Zhuo Xiao Xuan heard someone heading over in the snow. She stood and dusted the snow off of her, saying blandly: “You should leave. Let’s not meet again in the future.” She would not allow someone who would stab her expressionlessly and without any warning beside her; she was no longer able to place her wholehearted trust in him anymore.

You Ming looked at her for a moment before sighing silently, nodded, “Alright, I promise you.” After which, he leapt up, and after a few leaps, he disappeared into the forest that was thickly laden in snow.

The man from Z organisation ran over as he lugged his sniper rifle. On guard as he surveyed the surroundings, he asked: “I’ve finished off Gao Zheng Ye on my side, what happened to the bodyguard you lured over?”

“He escaped?! Oh, it’s fine, we’ve completed our mission anyway.”

After which, the two of them returned to B City.

“Xuan Xuan… Xuan Xuan…” IAAK IS HOSTED @ ZHANLAN TL

After He Yi silently opened the door to Yin Xu Dong’s room and tiptoed over to his bed, he heard Yin Xu Dong muttering “Xuan Xuan, Xuan Xuan”. Just as he wanted to just kick him awake to chop off his wet dream in the broad daylight!

“Ahh!” Yin Xu Dong suddenly shouted and shot up, giving He Yi the largest of scare. From that day onward, He Yi swore that he shall never harbour the malicious thought of cutting off his wet dream, and firmly decided to learn from his brother, and added the line “it is bad to disturb other people while they are having a wet dream” to his eight establishments.

Yin Xu Dong wiped his perspiration with the back of his hand and breathed deeply for a moment, before discovering a living being was lying underneath his bed. After identifying this specimen as number-one, he asked in shock: “What’re you doing under my bed?”

He Yi patted his butt as he climbed out, “Shouldn’t I be the one asking why you’re giving people such scares?! Don’t you know you can shock people dead like that?!”

“Serve you right! You’re the one who came into my room without knocking!” Yin Xu Dong shot him a glance before getting up slowly to wash up.

Number-one was all buddy with him for the last few years, so whenever he came over, his mother would let him be, and He Yi he really did as he wished.

“Who said, who said I didn’t knock the door?! You’re the one having your wet dream to the point you didn’t hear my knocks. I thought something happened to you that’s why I came in!” As He Yi spoke, he faked Yin Xu Dong’s shouts, exclaiming ambiguously: “Xuan Xuan… Xuan Xuan…”

Yin Xu Dong’s face flushed before darkening, before flushing again, alternating between these two colours.

“Tell your brother me, exactly who is this Xuan Xuan you’re calling?” He Yi felt that he had to ask him about this. Z L T

“What do you mean who? There is only one Xuan Xuan to begin with!” It was only after he said that did Yin Xu Dong realise he slipped up. At that, he couldn’t help but want to give himself a slap.

“Hah? I don’t understand, you mean there’s only one Xuan Xuan and that is Qin Ke Xuan? Or do you mean the Xuan Xuan is Zhuo Xiao Xuan?” He Yi didn’t catch the slip-up in Yin Xu Dong’s words.

“Uh, as of right now, Zhuo Xiao Xuan is the Xuan Xuan. Oh right, what are you here for so early in the morning?” Yin Xu Dong smoked his way through and swerved the topic of the conversation as he did so.

He Yi punched him, “Says you! The winter break’s so long, are you planning on holing up at home throughout the entire duration?”

“I need to read a lot of books, there’s too much for me to learn. I’m not free to go out to play.” Yin Xu Dong tided the medicine textbooks strewn across his room.

He Yi looked at Yin Xu Dong as though he was looking at a monster. He turned to look at the brick-like medicine textbooks instead, and couldn’t help but exclaim: “Woah! I’mma beat whoever who says you’re still that gangster from before me! Tsk tsk, I mean just look at you, you’re nerdier than a nerd!” He walked over to Yin Xu Dong, flipped open a few books in pretense before howling: “Watch this!” At that, his fist found its way towards Yin Xu Dong’s abdomen as he suddenly attacked him.

Yin Xu Dong sent a fist at He Yi on reflex. Stepping half a step forward, he grasped He Yi’s arms and turned as he slammed him onto the ground over his shoulders. When he realised that He Yi wasn’t as skilled as Xuan Xuan, He Yi was already on the floor groaning in pain.

Yin Xu Dong pulled He Yi up in apology, “Sorry sorry, I’m not awake yet.” IAAK IS HOSTED @ ZHANLAN TL

“Uh… I… you… freak you! You’re actually secretly hating me right? And you finally go the chance today to beat me up?!” He Yi pressed his waist that almost broke, howling in rage.

After Yin Xu Dong placated He Yi for a while, he firmly decided that he was not going out to play. He had to finish reading all his medicine textbooks before going out to play. And so, he swept He Yi out the door.

Mother Yin looked at her son in concern. If this was in the past, she’d definitely be over the moon if she saw her son being so hardworking. But seeing him so desperately studying, she decided she had to say something: “Son, you can never finish reading your book, you need to understand work and play balance. It’s better you go out to play, you’ll study yourself sick this way.”

“I know, mom.” Yin Xu Dong agreed with Mother Yin, but he still disappeared back into his room to read his books. He’d read too much last night, that’s why he was dead asleep like a log this morning, to the extent he didn’t even realise when He Yi entered his room. If Xuan Xuan knew that, she’d definitely give him a beating over this.

Speaking of Xuan Xuan, he recalled his nightmare from this morning; Xuan Xuan had been in his embrace, he was kissing and kissing her but things suddenly felt off. When he looked at Xuan Xuan again, he saw that she was filled with injuries, and blood flowed all over the ground. He want to staunch her blood for her anxiously, but he wasn’t able to no matter what, and after that, he was shocked awake.

He lied on his bed lazily, not in the mo0d to read any books at all. He rolled around on his bed in annoyance, and as he rolled and rolled, he realised he couldn’t roll anymore. Propping himself up, he saw Zhuo Xiao Xuan standing at the end of the bed. One of her foot was on his back, that’s why he wasn’t able to roll anymore.

“Xuan Xuan!” Yin Xu Dong jumped forward to hug Zhuo Xiao Xuan in excitement before releasing her quickly. After which, he checked her up and down, making sure she wasn’t injured anywhere.

Zhuo Xiao Xuan was expressionless, “I’m back. Let’s get married.”
