There Is No Paradise Where I Ran Away To (14 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 36
For some reason, I had a premonition that Vivian would be here today—and I was right. She sat in her usual spot, looking utterly drained, and stripped off her clothes as if it were the most natural thing to do.
Vivian let her pale body float motionlessly on the dark surface of the lake. Her expressionless corpse emitted not even the faintest sound.
The hollow shell, robbed of its soul, was beautiful—as though it would never decay.
The beautiful corpse sank beneath the water, dashing Edwin’s hope that she might rise again from its depths, her golden hair shimmering brilliantly as she broke the surface.
“You can’t die.”
Her flushed cheek, warm beneath his palm as he brushed away the moisture, burned with heat and softness—far too vivid to be mistaken for the pale corpse drifting on the lake’s surface.
“Then what about me? What am I supposed to do, left all alone?”
It was fortunate. That she hadn’t died. That she was still alive. That, therefore, he could now grant her death.
Vivian’s wet eyes rippled like water disturbed by a breeze. She must have sensed his intent to kill—here, in the arms she had entered of her own accord, where she had stubbornly lingered.
How long would it take her to realize what mistake she’d made? Edwin was rather curious.
“To think you’d die right in front of me after I came all this way just to kill you myself… Well, sorry, but that simply won’t do.”
His fingers, which had been stroking her cheek, slipped downward. As he lazily traced her small, pointed chin, her slightly parted red lips drew his gaze irresistibly.
They held a different hue from when she’d pouted and complained about Jefferson the gatekeeper, insisting she’d do anything. Back then, her lips had been smooth; now they were chapped—though, thanks to the moisture they’d absorbed, still tolerable to look at.
They no longer possessed the allure that once made him imagine the flavor of ripe fruit. Now, this foolish girl—who couldn’t even properly fasten her clothes—was trying to push him away.
Vivian clung to the arrogant delusion that she could enter his embrace of her own will—and leave just as freely.
Male lead first thought she played hard to get, only to realize she
really disliked him
Short intro:
What she can’t stand the most is the streets full of effeminate men, especially that so-called top beauty whom she avoids at all costs.
Shen Yaoxing looks at Jiang Mingyue, who keeps approaching her with coy shyness.
Shen Yaoxing: Bro, don’t be like this, I’m really about to throw up!
She fears nothing in heaven or earth, except for him getting close to her.
*
At first he thought she was just using the trick of feigning indifference to attract his attention. Later, he learned that she truly despised him.
This dealt a heavy blow to Jiang Mingyue, and he vowed to make her, like everyone else, fall at his feet in worship!
