C3 His Heart Was Tougher than Mine

I got goosebumps all over my arm.

He walked in, and I curled up at the head of the bed, staring at him vigilantly. My hands under the blanket were tightly clenched, and my palms were covered in a layer of cold sweat.

"If you let me go, I wouldn't have done that."

His face was as handsome as before. His gaze towards me was no longer gentle and loving as before. Instead, it was like a layer of ice that couldn't be melted.

I suddenly felt like I couldn't breathe. It was as if there was a continuous rain in my heart.

I lowered my eyes and no longer looked at him. Instead, I heard a disdainful scoff from his mouth.

A bad premonition arose in my heart. Just as I raised my head, I saw that he had unknowingly walked in front of me with a mocking expression.

"Is the food at home not delicious enough, or is it because your Miss Lin is sick of home-cooked dishes and needs to change her taste?"

Even though he knew that I was on a hunger strike, he deliberately said that. Was he deliberately trying to anger me, or was he determined to put me under house arrest here?

I coldly snorted, "If you don't let me go, I will go on a hunger strike until the end!"

However, this sentence did not seem to pose any threat to him. He even looked at me with an extremely funny expression, and his eyes no longer contained the pity he had in the past.

He turned around and sat beside me. I moved to the side without batting an eyelid, but my heart felt increasingly less confident.

"Your Miss Lin used to go on a hunger strike when she was unhappy. She was just bluffing. Do you think I don't know about this? "

His eyes were full of smiles as if he was talking about something interesting to me in the past. However, the untraceable coldness in his eyes made me shiver.

In the past, I often used this matter to threaten my father and him. It was because I was certain that they would treat me as their treasure and would definitely be soft-hearted towards me.

But now -

"You may go on a hunger strike, but let's see if my heart is hard or your body is hard!"

At midnight, I was woken up by hunger.

Xiao Kai did what he said. As expected, he did not ask anyone to send me any more food.

I opened my eyes. In front of me was endless darkness. When I closed my eyes, the scene of the catastrophe two years ago played out in front of my eyes.

Those memories that I had deliberately forgotten were now so clear.

I was extremely hungry. I could only use my teeth to grind my arm over and over again. The originally smooth arm quickly showed signs of being bitten. It was a shocking sight.

Amidst the waves of hunger and despair, I endured until the morning.

Perhaps it was because I was too hungry, but I no longer felt the burning sensation of hunger. However, I had lost all my strength and could only weakly lie on the bed.

The door to the room opened and I tried to open my eyes. I saw Xiao Kai approaching me with a trace of black gas on his face.

"It's only been two days, and he can't hold on much longer?"

His cold and ruthless words were like a poisonous arrow. In an instant, it pierced through my heart, which was already riddled with holes, and my vision turned black. Biting the tip of his tongue hard, his consciousness became clearer. "Xiao Kai, let me go. Otherwise, you will regret it."

I forced myself to say those words. However, because I was very hungry, my voice was weak and the effect was greatly reduced. Not only did it not pose any threat to the person in front of me, it even attracted his mocking gaze.

The blood in my heart churned, and my eyes rolled back as I fainted.

When I woke up, I found that I was still in the room. The difference was that there was an infusion tube inserted into the back of my hand. A cool liquid slowly slid out of the tube and into my blood vessels.

"Miss Lin, have you played enough of the hunger strike game?"

Just as I was in a trance, Xiao Kai's voice came from not far away. I was shocked.

"What did you do to me?"

I was instantly frightened. I tried to sit up and remove the infusion needle from my hand.

However, the moment I sat up, I felt a sense of emptiness in my stomach. My mouth felt bitter, and my head felt like it was being repeatedly hammered by a hammer. I felt dizzy and painful, and almost fainted again.

"It's just a little nutrient solution. You wouldn't be worried that I would inject you with some bad medicine, would you?"

A trace of ridicule flowed out from his lips. He didn't have the slightest reaction to the appearance of me nearly fainting just now.

I bit my lips, pulled off the needle in my hand, and threw it onto the ground in anger.

Due to the use of force, I felt a burst of pain from my arm. I couldn't help but let out a hiss.

Looking over, I discovered that there were dense bite marks on my arm. He should have seen all of these, but he...

He couldn't help but feel sour in his heart.

"Don't think that I will yield like this!"

He used all of his strength to forcefully curse.

Xiao Kai coldly looked at the needle on the ground, then at me coldly. His frosty gaze made me shudder.

"Lin Xiaoran, you can continue. When you are starving to death, I will give you another needle. If you are hungry again, I will give you another needle. You will not starve to death..."

He stopped. His expression was like that of a devil. His black eyes were dark and deep. He could not see the bottom. There was only an angry blaze left.

"Don't even think about getting out of here!"

I was stunned, and the emptiness in my stomach attacked me once again.

In an instant, I almost couldn't hold it anymore and nearly knelt down to beg for mercy.

However, how could I face this devil?

"Don't you hate me? If I starve to death like this, how can you take revenge on me?"

He raised his eyebrows and smiled. His words ignited my fighting spirit. I looked at him hatefully. If looks could kill, then he would have been killed thousands of times by me.

"Xiao Kai, you have already gotten everything from the Lin family. Why are you making things difficult for me?"

I said those words with a roar. At that moment, memories flooded my mind.

He was the one who caused my family to be ruined. He was the one who destroyed my originally happy family!

All of this, it was all because of him...

Hatred slowly ferment, quickly occupying my entire heart.

But it just so happened... I used to like him so much.
