Immediately, the two of them split apart and get up to their feet. Xin Hulei steps forward, shielding Yao Shen behind his body.
Si Wang tsks, and tilts his head to the side to meet Yao Shen's eyes. "How does it make you feel? To know he'd rather forget you?"
Yao Shen stares blankly up at him.
What answer is he expecting to that?
Si Wang grins when he sees the blank look in Yao Shen's face. He clasps his hands behind his back and squares his shoulders.
"Here you are, always throwing yourself in the fire for him. Always suffering great indignities, tossed and turned in the wheel of reincarnation like a leaf blowing in the wind, and yet him," he points at Xin Hulei, his thin lips peeled back in maniac hatred, "would rather forget all about you. While you suffered, his life just went on."
Yao Shen can see the tension in Xin Hulei's back, the veins standing in stark relief across his forearms and hands.
Si Wang's words are getting to him.
