64. I’ve Loved Him for More Than Ten Years

Translator: Guy Gone Bad

Nancheng Lie was stunned for a moment. ‘His tone… No, his voice is not… But why… why does his tone sound so familiar? No, no, it’s impossible. I’m now in… the crown prince’s palace, and my purpose is to…’ he thought to himself.

He whispered, “Li Qinghao.” He came here specially to see Li Qinghao.

The reason for his visit came into his mind, and he felt as if a knife were piercing his heart. He got a clue! He left China and flew directly to Leiluo Kingdom. Then he used every means to investigate what had happened two years ago. Finally, he got a clue. Two years ago before Xu had a car accident, someone had seen Xu in Leiluo Kingdom.

But it must be impossible! He had never been separated from Xu since childhood. Even when he was free, he always spent his holidays with Xu. In other word, Xu was always under his nose. Nancheng Lie drew a conclusion that Xu couldn’t have been in Leiluo Kingdom two years ago. So, it wasn’t Xu who had appeared in Leiluo Kingdom two years ago. If that man were not Xu, then who was he?

Nancheng Lie knew clearly that it must be Keqi who looked exactly like Xu.

“Li Qinghao, two years ago you were wounded in a gun battle with gangsters. At that time, you were on the way to my house with Xu, right? Do you still remember what happened?” The edge of the dagger was so close to Li Qinghao’s neck that Nancheng Lie could slit his throat at any time. “I’m a hardhearted man, and I’m not very skilful at using dagger. So, you’d better answer my question carefully.”

His voice was hoarse and cold. Li Qinghao had never seen Nancheng Lie so tense. In his eyes, Nancheng Lie was a handsome, domineering, proud and meticulous man. He had never spoken to Han Mingxu in this tone. He was too proud to show weakness, but now he sounded so sad.

‘Damn it! My heart aches for him,’ Li Qinghao thought. Under the quilt, his hands balled into fists. He bit his lower lip and dared not say anything. His short nails cut deep into his palms, but he didn’t feel pain. Tears rolled down his face, but he didn’t notice. He only wanted to know who made Nancheng Lie so sad.

‘Now I know it’s me,’ he thought to himself.

“Ah…”

He suddenly felt a sharp pain in his neck. Li Qinghao knew that the edge of Nancheng Lie’s dagger had slightly sunk into his neck, but he really dared not open his mouth. He was afraid that he would lose control of his emotions and fling himself into Nancheng Lie’s arms.

If he did that… Li Qinghao closed his eyes.

“Answer me! Please answer me, please… I beg you.” Nancheng Lie moved the dagger away and said in a choked voice, “Tell me Xu is still alive. He’s still alive, right?” He snatched Li Qinghao up by the collar and wanted to punch Li Qinghao, but he stopped when he found that Li Qinghao was crying silently.

Big tears rolled down his cheeks and dripped on to the back of Nancheng Lie’s hand. The room was dark, so Nancheng Lie couldn’t see Li Qinghao clearly. He could only see his bright eyes.

“What are you crying for?” Nancheng Lie raised his hand and wiped off Li Qinghao’s tears rudely with fingertips. “I’m the one who should cry. I have been friends with him for more than ten years. I’ve loved him in secret for more than ten years. But… But I failed to tell the true from the false. Do you know how sad I am? I can’t find him…” Speaking of which, Nancheng Lie reeled back and fell onto the bed.

“Lie… Lie… ” Pain and fear surged through Li Qinghao.
