I'm being held captive by a monster

Chapter 225 Xiaoye, if you are really too tired, just trust me

"……What did you say?"

Qian Qiongzhi frowned and looked at Lin Xing'an.

"I said, I will protect Xu Ye as a family member."

Lin Xing'an said calmly but firmly.

"what???"

Qian Qiongzhi showed an incomprehensible and exaggerated smile on her face.

"Her? Xu Ye? Are you sure? Are you sure that the person you want to protect is this piece of trash in your arms?"

"Even her father doesn't care about her. Do you think you're in a movie by meddling in her affairs like this?"

"You're like a clown, you know that?"

In the crowded banquet hall, Qian Qiongzhi did not hide the sarcasm in her voice or her tone.

And her words caused a small burst of laughter in the banquet hall.

Everyone couldn't help laughing when they looked at Lin Xing'an and Xu Ye's expressions.

"It's okay, don't be afraid."

Lin Xing'an silently hugged Xu Ye, whose body was shaking uncontrollably, tighter to block everyone's judgmental gazes from her.

Then he ignored Qian Qiongzhi and everyone else.

He just held Xu Ye and walked out of the banquet hall.

"Tsk..."

Being so blatantly ignored made Qian Qiongzhi's face show a hint of anger.

A sense of inexplicable dissatisfaction also emerged in my heart!

I’m not happy, not happy, not happy. I’m so unhappy!
This Lin Xing'an actually dared to blatantly challenge my authority in front of everyone...

And the way he looked, the way he looked like he didn't take me seriously at all, damn...

"Lin Xing'an, I thought you were someone else, why are you protecting Xu Ye like this?"

"I called her trash and you didn't even say a word?"

"Haha, then I think you are just a worthless waste."

"He smells so human, yet he's as cowardly as an animal. It's simply disgusting."

"A human-like brother and a loser, you two are really a perfect match. I agree to this marriage, lock you two losers up."

Qian Qiongzhi stared at Lin Xing'an, snorted coldly, clapped her hands and said sarcastically.

Then she glanced over.

All those boys who had just tried to win her favor, including most of the gluttons, laughed and clapped in agreement.

"..."

Lin Xing'an, who was almost at the door, stopped, turned around and looked at Qian Qiongzhi.

"What were you expecting?"

"Do you think I'd be so angry as to start a verbal fight with you? Or even start a heated argument?"

"This is like us admitting we are useless, and it's like we've been hit in a sore spot."

"This way you can finally occupy the moral high ground, finally classify me as one of your kind, and finally find a reason to vent your anger on me without restraint, right?"

Lin Xing'an asked with an extremely calm expression.

One could even hear a hint of weariness in his tone.

"Huh? Angry? Who the hell are you? How could I be angry? And do I need a reason to vent my anger on you?"

Qian Qiongzhi spread out her hands, a blush inexplicably appeared on her face, and she spoke in an absurd tone.

"I'm sorry, I thought you were accustomed to everyone's flattery and being flattered by everyone, so you were angry because I didn't follow your wishes and bully Xu Ye."

"I'm sorry, I misunderstood you. I'm sorry."

Lin Xing'an nodded and said apologetically.

His tone, look, and expression made Qian Qiongzhi's face increasingly gloomy!
Especially when her thoughts were exposed so blatantly, Qian Qiongzhi's dissatisfaction reached its peak!
"you……"

But before Qian Qiongzhi could speak, Lin Xing'an spoke again.

"Xu Ye, you, me, and all of us are our mother's children."

"We all come from our mothers; it is our mothers who created us."

"You invented the term 'human flavor', trying every possible means to draw a clear line between humans and animals, but in reality, you are just dividing the gluttons into different levels according to your subjective will."

"Actually, you're just entertaining yourself, blaming your mother for not directly making you a superior person, and satisfying your endless vanity."

Lin Xing'an looked up at Qian Qiongzhi, with a hint of sadness and pity in his eyes.

The entire hall fell silent after Lin Xing'an's words.

All that was left was Qian Qiongzhi's increasingly rapid breathing.

"Gudong..."

Zhang Guang wiped the sweat from his forehead, picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

He took the opportunity to secretly glance at Qian Sen beside him.

The killer's face was now so dark that it looked as if ink was dripping out...

He glanced at Jiang Rong on the other side again.

Unlike the admiration he had just shown, Jiang Rong now had a blank expression on his face.

It's impossible to tell what he's thinking.

"It's ok."

Noticing his gaze, Jiang Rong shook his head and said.

"An An..."

The corner of Zhang Guang's mouth twitched, and he was secretly shocked!
What Lin Xing'an just said was too blunt...

It was like ripping open Qian Qiongzhi's heart and stabbing it with knives...

This young lady has been treated like a star wherever she goes since she was a child. How could she have ever suffered such a hardship?

and……

Doing this, whether it was saying in front of everyone that he wanted to marry Xu Ye, or arguing with Qian Qiongzhi like this, was too inconsiderate...

Too impulsive...

Although Lin Xing'an's current identity is actually not much different from Qian Qiongzhi in essence.

After all, Jiang Rong and Qian Sen are equal.

"This doesn't seem like An An's character..."

The more Zhang Guang thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, and his brows furrowed slightly.

One of the purposes of this banquet is to bring Lin Xing'an to the forefront and get to know the senior members of the committee.

Lin Xing'an naturally knew it too.

Based on Zhang Guang's understanding of Lin Xing'an, he would never be so impulsive and careless when facing a matter.

He definitely has his own reasons.

So he does this...

"..."

Zhang Guang was stunned suddenly, as if he suddenly thought of something.

He looked at Xu Zhe, who was standing in the crowd not far away with a gloomy face. His daughter was protected but he didn't look happy at all.

Xu Ye’s only identity is Xu Zhe’s only daughter.

"An An, this is..."

"Knowing Xu Zhe's extremely suspicious personality, he knew that he couldn't hide anything about my abilities."

"So I want to use Xu Ye to bind him to Xu Zhe, so that Xu Zhe will stop investigating him, thereby protecting him from absorbing the dark secrets and preventing my secrets from being discovered..."

Zhang Guang narrowed his eyes and took a breath.

So An An did this in front of everyone to protect me?

He looked at Lin Xing'an, feeling shocked and unbelievable.

"Of course, this is just my personal opinion, please don't take it to heart."

Seeing that Qian Qiongzhi stopped talking, Lin Xing'an spoke again.

"Because my opinion may not be correct. Even if it is correct, what can it matter?"

"You are still your eldest lady, and I am still me. What impact can this have on you?"

"Just like your opinion, what impact can it have on me?"

Lin Xing'an said with a smile.

Then he didn't stop and walked out the door.

"What's the point of saying so much? You're just trash. In my eyes, you're trash!"

"From now on, it will always be like this!"

Seeing that Lin Xing'an was about to leave, Qian Qiongzhi shouted again in anger.

"Oh."

Lin Xing'an turned his head and nodded calmly, even with a hint of a smile.

Then, under everyone's gaze, he left the banquet hall.

Before leaving, he didn't say goodbye to anyone.

He just looked at Jiang Rong and Zhang Guang with a slight apology.

Finally, it stayed on Keke's face for a moment.

"..."

Xu Ye in his arms raised his head.

Lin Xing'an's profile was reflected in those eyes, which were like an ice lake during the Spring Festival in a winter valley.

Please...

If this is a dream, please, mother, please don't let me wake up again...

Xu Ye begged humbly and devoutly in his heart. "Bang!"

After Lin Xing'an left, a frantic curse was heard in the banquet hall.

Qian Qiongzhi smashed the cup in her hand!
The dissatisfaction in her heart turned into a nameless anger, making her expression become somewhat ferocious!
She could clearly feel that Lin Xing'an was not pretending at all.

Lin Xing'an simply didn't care about her and looked down on her.

and so……

Why?
Why does this person dare to ignore me, Qian Qiongzhi?

Qian Qiongzhi gritted her teeth.

No one around dared to approach her at this time.

……

……

"Let's go, I'll take you home."

"Back to our own home."

After leaving the banquet hall, Lin Xing'an looked down at Xu Ye and spoke softly.

Perhaps even Xu Ye herself didn't notice that she was already in tears at this moment.

"……Why……"

Xu Ye asked in a trembling voice.

But Lin Xing'an shook his head and did not give a direct answer.

"No reason."

Lin Xing'an just Xu Ye returned to the North City City Light Community.

"..."

After entering the community, Xu Ye became visibly nervous.

His body shivered as if blown by a cold wind.

"Don't be afraid, I won't let you go back to that house again."

"We have our own home, it will be warm, there will be no cold wind, no ice or snow inside, it will be like summer."

Lin Xing'an walked straight past the building where Xu Zhe lived.

"Like summer..."

Xu Ye looked up at Lin Xing'an and murmured his words.

Lin Xing'an controlled his gloom in advance and turned on the water heater and air conditioner.

Perhaps because he felt too guilty, or perhaps because of Xu Zhe's urging, Ke Ke used his ability to restore Lin Xing'an's destroyed room to its original state last night.

All the furniture on Lin Xing'an's list was also added.

Of course, there were a few more eavesdropping devices.

It has gone from five to seven.

And the positions have been adjusted.

Better radio.

"Xiaoye, Building 916266, Unit , the password is ."

"Take this elevator, and the top floor is our home."

As Lin Xing'an spoke, he brought Xu Ye to the top floor.

Then he turned on the controller of the smart door lock.

"Xiaoye, give me your thumb."

She held out her hand.

Xu Ye stretched out his hand, which was so cold that it had no warmth at all.

“This is our home.”

After Lin Xing'an entered Xu Ye's fingerprint information into the door lock, he spoke again.

"Our home..."

"Hmm, do you want to try it?"

Lin Xing'an closed the door.

He picked up Xu Ye’s thumb and pressed it on the door lock.

A beeping sound was heard.

The door opened.

"So... warm..."

After entering the door, Xu Ye was instantly surrounded by a warm atmosphere.

It really feels like summer...

She raised her hand, feeling the warmth, and her eyes turned red.

Lin Xing'an gently placed Xu Ye on the sofa.

But just as he was about to leave, Xu Ye timidly grabbed Lin Xing'an's clothes.

"You're too cold. Let me get you some hot water."

Lin Xing'an patted Xu Ye's hand and said.

Then, under Xu Ye's gaze, he entered the bathroom.

The sound of water running came.

After a few seconds, steam gradually rose.

"Go take a nice hot bath."

After the hot water was ready, Lin Xing'an picked up Xu Ye again.

"Kakakaka!"

But the moment he entered the bathroom and touched the hot water, a burst of coldness suddenly burst out from Xu Ye's body!
This cold current turned the hot water in the bathtub, which was over 40 degrees Celsius, into ice in the blink of an eye!
Including Lin Xing'an.

There was also a layer of frost.

"I can't control it..."

Xu Ye’s face turned pale.

But Lin Xing'an shook his head and said, "It's okay, take your time."

He didn't mean to blame Xu Ye at all.

Instead, he put some hot water in again to help Xu Ye adapt.

After several attempts and more than half an hour, Xu Ye finally got used to the contact of hot water.

Lin Xing'an also let out a light breath and slowly put her into the bathtub.

"Really... so comfortable..."

The moment his whole body was immersed in the warm water, two lines of tears flowed from Xu Ye's eyes again.

But this time, what flowed down was no longer ice crystals.

"I'll get you a wheelchair."

"Take more baths like this, and your legs and feet will definitely get better again."

Lin Xing'an touched Xu Ye's feet which had no intuition, rubbed her legs and said.

"..."

But as soon as he stood up, Xu Ye grabbed Lin Xing'an again.

"……Why……"

She looked at Lin Xing'an and asked again.

"I'm so scared. I'm so scared this is a dream. Why would they choose me? I clearly..."

There was a hint of pain in Xu Ye's eyes.

Seeing this, Lin Xingan lowered himself down and held Xu Ye's hand.

"If you absolutely need an answer, because you deserve it."

He looked into Xu Ye's eyes and said.

"Xiaoye, you work hard, you are kind, and you are very capable, but the abuse you suffer is unfair."

"The numbness in your legs, the way people called you a coward, none of this is your fault."

"Everything you've suffered is paying for Xu Zhe's mistakes."

"You deserve a better life, you deserve to be loved, and you deserve to live in warmth."

Lin Xing'an said softly.

In the warm water, Xu Ye's body began to tremble.

The tears in my eyes couldn't stop flowing.

When will you die...

You shouldn't be alive...

You are a waste...

Those words, those words of denial, at this moment, in Xu Ye's heart, were like accumulated snow, melting in Lin Xing'an's voice...

original……

Is this what it feels like to be loved?

It turns out that getting warmth is so simple...

"Xiaoye, if you are really too tired, just trust me."

Lin Xing'an patted Xu Ye's head.

Under Xu Ye's gaze, he left the bathroom.

"..."

After closing the door, he lowered his eyes and let out a light breath.
