Life of a Villain - Chapter 69

“Yes,”

Su Xin’s heart thumped, her gaze fixed on Andy’s broad back, who appeared to be staring at a distance.

“Follow me,” Her body shook as his crisp voice reached her ears, and when she came to her senses, Andy was already entering his room.

She hesitated for a moment before following him into the room.

Her brow furrowed as she entered the room, her gaze drawn to the bone dregs in the corner of the room before she looked at Andy, whose back was still turned to her.

As she waited for Andy to speak, her heart was filled with both expectations and confusion.

“Do you think I deceived you?” Andy’s voice reached her ears.

She was taken aback for a moment because she hadn’t expected Andy to ask this question. She gave a bitter smile. “I don’t know. I don’t even know who I am. My head has been hurting all this time when I try to think about my past.”

Andy slowly turned around and looked her in the eyes.

She could see the sincereness and the softness in those eyes.

“Yes, I know you. Just like you, I came from the upper world.” Andy closed his eyes. As if he recalled something, his lips curved into a smile.

“Upper World?” Su Xin muttered, but a pinching pain spread through the back of her head. As she rubbed the back of her head, a frown formed on her face, but her gaze was drawn to the man in front of him, who smiled innocently.

“You were one of the most promising figures in the upper world. Su Xin of the Su family. No one in that world could compare to you. You were like a bright light that lit up the dark world.”

“Su Xin?” Her heart started beating faster, but the pain in her head intensified. A bead of sweat trickled down her brows, but her gaze was fixed on Andy, who still had his eyes closed as if recalling some beautiful memories.

“I still remember that day. The day I saw you for the first time. In that world, I was just an ant, an orphan who had only recently begun his cultivation. There was a gathering of the top clans and sects for the opening of a realm, and I went there to broaden my horizon.”

“It was on that day that I saw for the first time. You won’t believe it, but I was enraptured from the moment I saw you. You were standing between two members of your family. Your innocent smile drew me in. You were having a chat with someone.”

But then Andy giggled mockingly. “But I knew that you and I belong to different worlds. You were the Princess of the Su Family, a shining star in the upper world, and I was an unknown orphan, who was lost in the crowd.”

Su Xin’s heart was racing all the time, and the pain was still coursing through her head, but her gaze was fixed on Andy. Suddenly, she felt an unknown sweetness bubbling up in the depths of her heart.

Andy opened his eyes slowly. “That was the day when I saw you for the first and the last time. All this time, I kept that feeling to myself. But you know, your smile has kept my hopes alive. Whenever I found myself in the darkness, I remember your smile. I had a hope that one day, I would confess my feeling to you. Even though I was just an ant in your eyes, that ant also had a feeling.”

Andy’s lips pursed and took a deep breath, “But one day, I met an unfathomable cultivator, who took me as his disciple and, after traveling with him for some time, he threw me to this lower world to gain the worldly experience. But who would have thought that I would meet you in the lower world?”

“I was stunned and terrified. I thought you were just another person who looked like the fairy of my life, but when I got close to you, you gave me the same feeling. When I got close to you, I felt at ease. And when you said you’d lost your memories, I knew you were the same fairy who had fallen into this lower world. Perhaps someone tried to kill you, and as a result, you lost your memories and power.”

Andy’s eyes softened as his gaze was fixed on Su Xin, “That was the day, I started believing in destiny. Maybe destiny pitied me and made me meet you in the lower world. Otherwise, I couldn’t imagine what would have happened to you.”

“But I was afraid. Afraid that If I told you about your past, you would feel that I was only saving you because of your family, as they are one of the overlords of the upper world.”

Andy closed his eyes once more and took a deep breath. “I know that you will soon recover your power and memories. And that would be the day you would leave this lower world. Maybe you’ll forget about me when you get back to your family. But I only hoped that I could find a place for myself in a corner of your heart.”

Su Xin staggered a bit as the vein in her forehead throbbed, but a drop of tear formed in the corner of her eyes. Andy supported her quickly.

“Are you alright?”

She quickly wiped her tear and nodded, her eyes softening as she looked at Andy. Unknowingly, she caressed his cheeks, “I may not know about my past, I know about my future. I know you’re telling the truth. Those eyes couldn’t tell lies. Maybe I would have hurt you in the past. But you will always have a place in my heart.”

“I know,” Andy said as he held her hands.

But her brow furrowed. “But why are you wearing a mask?”

Andy was taken aback and paused a moment. “It’s not good to show my face to anyone,”

“Why? Is there something wrong with your face?” Su Xin questioned hurriedly.

But Andy shook his head, “No. It’s just that I feel uncomfortable,”

Su Xin smiled. “Can I see your face?”

Andy hesitated, but took a deep breath and nodded as he slowly removed his mask.

Su Xin had little hope in her heart, but she was astounded when she saw that face.

“So Beautiful,” she murmured, her heart skipping a beat as her gaze was drawn to the most stunning man she had ever seen. Or maybe she’ll see it in the future. The deity seemed to have sculpted his face beautifully. His blue eyes and silver hair complemented that face perfectly.

Andy frowned as he covered his face with the mask once again. He gave a bitter smile.

“Now you understand?”

Su Xin nodded and smiled, but a stinging pain shot through her head once again.

Andy supported her quickly. “You should look after yourself. Don’t overthink it. Your memories will return one day.”

“You’re right,” Su Xin nodded slightly, a weak smile on her lips. “I’ll leave now,”

She stroked his cheeks again, her gaze fixed on him, “Thank you,”

She knew he didn’t take advantage of her and genuinely cared about her.

After taking one last look at him, she turned around and left.

Meanwhile, Andy’s eyes narrowed as he stared at her departing figure, his lips curled up.
