"Back then, why did you reject me?" Lin Ying, lying beside Ye Chen, asked unexpectedly. "Am I not beautiful enough, not worthy of you?"
Lin Ying's question was utterly out of the blue, leaving no trace to follow, unclear how to respond. But Ye Chen knew what she meant.
She was asking why he hadn't accepted her when she wanted to be with him all those years ago.
"Because, that time I was also injured, deeply wounded inside!" Ye Chen revealed the truth for the first time. "That giant bear gene warrior was immensely strong, impervious to blades and bullets, and even I had a hard time killing it, eventually sustaining very serious injuries!"
"You were injured that time!" Lin Ying said in stunned surprise. "Then why didn't you show any sign of injury, still acting so full of life, and even subsequently violently repelled a blood wolf gene warrior!"
