Because...
"Hai Xiaotang, you need to stay away from him, never get close to him, and don't believe him. He's really dangerous!" said Dongfang Yu, avoiding the question.
Hai Xiaotang's eyes flickered, she asked again, "Why? Dongfang Yu, why don't you tell me?"
Because he didn't know where to start, and was even more afraid to say it out loud.
Dongfang Yu did not answer again. He just held Hai Xiaotang tightly, silent.
Although he didn't speak anymore, Hai Xiaotang could sense his unusual unease.
Dongfang Yu had never been so worried, so wary of a person before.
Hai Xiaotang was even more puzzled.
Who exactly was Dongfang Hen, what was his capability, and what would he do?
That night, both Hai Xiaotang and Dongfang Yu were lost in complex thoughts.
******************
The next morning, as soon as Hai Xiaotang opened her eyes, she met Dongfang Yu's tender gaze.
He propped his head up with his arm, lying on his side looking at her, who knows for how long.
