After Giving up, the Fake Young Lady Was Group-Pampered

286  The Ugliness Trapped in the Human Heart

"Bo Anyi, what do you think I should do?"

No.12 was walking behind Yue Xin when he suddenly heard Yue Xin call his name.

Unlike any other time in the past, this time, Yue Xin called his name not in a statement, but in a question. This made No.12 feel that he was not ordered about but relied on.

In the past, he always felt that he was here to atone for his sins, so he should help Yue Xin get whatever she wanted. He just had to be obedient and help Yue Xin remove all the obstacles. His identity was that of a dog, and dogs only needed companionship and loyalty. However, after watching Yue Xin and Yi Chengxuan interact all day today, No.12's mentality had changed a little. In terms of time, he had been with Yue Xin the longest. From the day Yue Xin entered the Land of the Fallen, he had been by Yue Xin's side.

In the beginning, Yue Xin was righteous. She was very innocent when she came. She didn't know the ugliness of the Fallen Land or the schemes of those people. She followed Maya as if she could be happy this way. After Maya left, Yue Xin changed.

At first, she didn't seem obvious. It was as if she had just gone from being indifferent to being ruthless. It was only when she went to the Newcomer Building and kept in contact with Yi Chengxuan and began to learn about the so-called human heart that she really changed. She became terrifying.

No.12 had to admit that even he couldn't see through Yue Xin now. He didn't know what Yue Xin was thinking or doing at all. Everything she said and did seemed to be intentional. The meaning behind this combination was terrifyingly meticulous.

Yue Xin was indeed powerful. She was so powerful that not only could she protect herself, but she could also easily do what she once wanted to do. However, No.12 felt that Yue Xin was in a lot of pain, especially after she used the human heart to make Su Yu commit suicide. People who were good at controlling the human heart would also be devoured by the human heart in the end. This was Yue Xin's current predicament.

She was trapped in the ugliness of the human heart and could not find her original path. The only person who could help Yue Xin seemed to be Yi Chengxuan.

No.12 had never liked Yi Chengxuan. He felt that Yi Chengxuan knew too much and was good at pretending. Every move he made exuded a different temperament from everyone else's, making people feel inferior. Yi Chengxuan was the complete opposite of him. He only had martial arts skills, and his mind could barely scheme, and his knowledge was far inferior to Yi Chengxuan's. However, what Yue Xin needed now was knowledge. She needed a lot of knowledge to fill her heart. She needed to see beautiful things other than the ugliness of the human heart. Only then could Yue Xin walk out of the darkness.

No.12's emotions told him that he should tell Yue Xin to stay away from Yi Chengxuan, who was too dangerous, but his rationality told him that he should say, "You look much better. I think you can be on good terms with Yi Chengxuan for the time being." ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ ɴo(v)elꜰɪre.ɴet

Yue Xin was walking in front of No.12, so No.12 couldn't see Yue Xin's expression. He only heard Yue Xin say to him in a calm tone, "Why did you give the opposite answer to your hopes?"

No.12 was stunned for a moment before he smiled. "You're experimenting on me again." He didn't know if she had heard some theory from Yi Chengxuan, but it wasn't the first time Yue Xin had experimented on him. No.12 was already used to it.

"My hopes are for myself, but the answer I gave is for your wellbeing."

Yue Xin still didn't turn around. "Do you really have that kind of emotion that doesn't involve any goals or benefits?"

No.12 was stunned. It was not until Yue Xin said this that he realized the real reason why Yue Xin's condition was not right.

What Yue Xin had learned in Building No.8 made her suspect everyone. Not only did she suspect the people she met now, but she also suspected the past. She even suspected Yue Qing and Maya, who had always been her spiritual support.

If No.12 was still conflicted about whether he should entrust Yue Xin to Yi Chengxuan just now, he felt it was necessary now. He took a deep breath and said without hesitation, "That's right. The human heart is complicated, but there must be more than ugly and scheming."

Yue Xin didn't answer. The two of them walked to Building No.7 in silence. It wasn't until they entered the elevator that Yue Xin said, "Bo Anyi, I trust you."

…

Yue Xin began to report to Building No. 5 every day. Yi Chengxuan showed her different things every day. Not only did she read books, but she also had different surprises. At first, it was flowers of different varieties from different countries.

Not only would Yi Chengxuan give her the actual flowers, but he would also tell her which country these flowers came from, what kind of place they grew in, and what kind of stories they had. Later on, after he had given her too many flowers, he began to play music for Yue Xin.

Yi Chengxuan knew many instruments. Whether it was the zither or Western instruments, there seemed to be nothing he didn't know. He would play two or three songs for Yue Xin every day and choose according to Yue Xin's preferences.
