The corner of my lips moves slightly upwards in a smirk.

POV END [GUO]
--------------x---------------
In a small room with light green walls, a handsome man is sitting on the floor. Sunlight from the window falls gravitates on his face nearly covered with his silky long orange hairs. The man's dark blue eyes looked stiff staring at a body on his lap. Blood was spilled on the floor like water. There was a lifeless body slumbered on the floor in dampened in that blood. There was a dagger lying beside the body's right hand with blood patches on its sharp edge. One hand of the handsome man was tightly holding the body's left hand, interlocking his fingers with him. The other hand of the man was holding the body's head firmly to prevent it from falling from his lap. The dark blue eyes of the man were locked on the body's face, not moving for even a second. The body's angelic face was covered with dark red blood. His lips and chin were covered with blood. His thin lips looked were blood red just like young spring roses waiting to bloom. So pale, yet so beautiful. His sharp and pointed nose along with a brown mole just above his lips looked magnificent. His eyes were closed and his hazel-coloured eyelashes were so big that it was touching his face. Dark black marks left by dried tears could be seen on either side of his eyes. However, there was an unconscious small smile on his ruby red lips. The scene was magnificent and beautiful, yet a little contradictory.
It was normal for any dying person to cry for his life but this young man was smiling at his last moments as if reassuring the other person that this all was not his mistake. But this only created the guilt to deepen further more. It looked like the man was really not unhappy and left the world with no regrets. Like he was really happy that he got the chance to sacrifice for the person he loved most in the world yet the only gesture he got in return was - Hate. The man he loved considered him his enemy. One person loved the other one so much that he didn't even hesitate to sacrifice for his happiness while the other one whom he loved killed him with his own hands. It's truly ironic yet very sad. (ಥ﹏ಥ)
Nie Li stared at Guo's with an expressionless face. His gaze not leaving Guo's face for even a moment. It looked like everything has stopped. No motion, no movement, no expressions, no gestures, nothing. It looked like earth has suddenly stopped moving, like time has stopped flowing, like everything is over. The man's eyes looked diminished like his purpose of life is over. Holding Guo desperately in his embrace, it didn't look like Nie Li was willing to let go. It looked like his life depended on that lifeless body.
POV [ NIE LI ] START –
It….It happened again. It happened again. It happened again today. Last time, Ye Ziyun was killed and now...him. Everyone who loves and cares for me dies. Even after I was totally determined that I will not let any innocent person close to me suffer in this life and that I will definitely protect my peers. Yet, I failed.... I FAILED, I failed in a fiasco. I myself, with my own actions, by my own perpetrations...…. made him suffer so much. He was already suffering so much in this unknown world and I added to his misery. Even after making him suffer so much, I didn't stop. I, with my own hands......killed him. How can I blame such a pure and harmless person with my selfish reasons without even thinking about his view of this world? He, he .... how can even such an innocent person exist?
He is such a mystery. Even after death, even after experiencing such pain that tears couldn't stop flowing from his eyes, he gave such a beautiful smile so that I don't blame myself for his death. He loved me endlessly and I killed me miserably.
What did I do? What did I do with my own hands? How can I even kill a person who...loves me? He loved me and I just took him as an enemy. How can he love me so much that without even thinking for a second, he just killed himself for my happiness? So that I live a joyful life. He killed himself for me....and I, I just stood there like a statue. No...no he can't die. I have to save him. Everything about him from the start is a mystery, there must be, no, there has to be some way to save him.
I put my ears on his chest to see if his heart is still besting and I was stunned. Even after such a grave wound on his neck, he is still alive. But I didn't think much about it. I just wanted to save him. "No, he is still alive. His heart is still beating. I can save him." I was determined.
POV END [ NIE LI ]
-------------------x----------------
Nie Li immediately removed Guo's blood-soaked clothes and laid him on the bed covering his body with a quilt. Nie Li cleaned the blood on Guo's body with a cloth. He transferred his energy in the body so that the Guo's energy is not depleted. Nie Li was totally determined to save him. He knew that in his current situation he can't afford a doctor so he went to the forest to collect medicinal pills and herbs. Supplying his body with energy, giving him all the necessary pills for healing and using herbs to heal his body but, he didn't wake up. It looked like everything was a total just in vain. His body healed completely in just a few hours but his condition wasn't stable. Instead of becoming stable, Guo's condition was becoming worse with every passing hour. But Nie Li didn't lose hope continued the treatment and just like that, a day passed.
Nie Li didn't tell anyone about this. He normally attended school the next day, practiced his skills and cultivated his core. He knew that only by becoming strong and rich enough can he protect his loved ones. He cleaned Guo's body and supplied his body with energy as usual. He sat beside Guo thinking about everything he said at last moments. In his perspective everything Guo spoke at the time of his death was definitely truth. Well, it's normal. Why would any dying person lie? It can happen only in two cases – Either the person is mentally retarded or the person is so trailblazing that not even death can derail him from following his plans. Guo was no doubt the second one. But how would Nie Li know that his beautiful, innocent and naïve angel was actually sinister and cunning devil who is just waiting for the right opportunity to devour him. He just kept thinking "Did he really loves me so much that he didn't even hesitate sacrificing himself? Did he really know my future? Did he really sacrifice himself for my happiness? He said that his presence in my life can alter the future so he killed himself. Just like that, he killed himself for me without thinking for his well being even for a second. And I ... I didn't even say anything. I have to apologize to him for all those things I misunderstood. And also, that................. I can't love him as I only love Ye Ziyun. I want to provide her satisfaction and happiness in this life. My life is totally devoted to her. But.............just like her, he sacrificed himself for me. Even in the case of Ye Ziyun, I loved her so much in my last life and she also loved me, but he...…. he just by knowing my hardships and sufferings in my previous life, he sacrificed for me. How can he be so innocent and naïve? He is just like a naïve and innocent child totally unaware of the outside world. Even if I can't love him, I can least apologize to him and take responsibility after he wakes up. I have to protect him in this world. How can he even survive in this malicious and spiteful world with his innocence? I will try my best to make him happy." Unknown to even him, his heart had found a little place for Guo inside it.
TIME SKIP – ONE DAY AND 10 HOURS LATER.
Nie Li was sitting on the bed beside Guo wiping his jade like body with a cloth drained in warm water. He removed the quilt covering Guo's naked body to wipe his chest. As soon his gaze fell on the two pink nipples on Guo's chest he started panting heavily. Guo's beauty was incomparable to anyone and also the aura his body enchanted was uncontrollable. He immediately got up from the bed and started walking to-and-fro inside the room to calm the overexcited tent in his pants.
"No, it is just a morning wood and it has nothing to do with him. It's all just my yang energy overflowing. How can I even think about such things and how can I have such feelings for a man? No, it's all just moment which will pass don't think about it. But..............those pink dots really looked good on his white skin just like jade. It looked like even a touch can make them red." He unconsciously swallowed his saliva and gulped. "No, are you a philander who just readily enters into casual sexual relationship with anyone. No, don't look in his direction and it will calm down."
Here, young love flowers were blooming and there in the soul realm Guo was bored to death reading the same manga for the 56789th time. Seventeen years have passed since cherry left. Even though they talked telepathically sometimes but Guo knew cherry was trying really hard so he didn't want to disturb him very much. What if he gets irritated and comes back announcing that death is better option than staying forever with a cunt?
No, he can't let that happen. He will patiently wait here for a few more years just like he waited for a seventeen years. It was all he could do. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
And here Nie Li was trying really hard to calm that thing making an eiffel tower in his pants.
This scene was constant for a while. But then something changed something. Something happened which changed everything. Nie Li's and Guo's life reticulated.
Two fates intertwined into one.
--------------x--------------
The author has something to say-
Nie Li is thinking that you are a naïve person whom he has to protect from the world filled with malice. Why doesn't he understand that there is no malice left in the world. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
mc- really, where has all the malice gone. (づ｡◕‿‿◕｡)づ
It's all concentrated inside you, YOU DEVIL . ᕦ(ò_óˇ)ᕤ
