At this moment, no one would know that Feng Yin would still be called Feng Yin, but he would never be the same Feng Yin again. He would lead the "Crimson Universe Army," numbering only 100,000, under the leadership of the young man they respectfully called "Young Master," to sweep across the entire continent of Ishu and achieve unparalleled hegemony.

Those who recount my history are merely recounting it; it has nothing to do with me. What is right? What is wrong? What is righteous? What is evil? From the moment I decided to follow Zi Mo's wishes and Chi Fei's ambitions, and embarked on this path, I could never find out.

In this mortal world, I can only sigh that iron horses and golden spears enter my dreams, stirring up heroic sentiments.

After countless sails have passed, all that remains is the lament of one general's success amidst the decay of countless others, a sorrowful waste.

Chapter 15, boarding school, complete.

Next update: Sunday, March 2nd.

I didn't get home until 9 pm today, so I'm posting this late. I recently transferred to a BT department, and that Huawei team is inhuman. There are two classic sayings in Hangzhou's IT circles: one, cherish your life, stay away from Huawei; two, Huawei treats women like men and men like animals… Last week, someone jumped off a building and committed suicide. And I actually got into a Huawei outsourcing project. Waaaaah…

Chapter 16 Forced Kiss

Chapter 16 Forced Kiss

I slowly opened my eyes. It was pitch black. Was it night? I gently rubbed my forehead and was about to get up when a pair of hands immediately supported me.

"Yihan?" I closed my eyes, somewhat confused. "What time is it?"

"..."

Seeing that he didn't answer, I asked again, "Why aren't the lamps lit? Has there been any news from Izumo Island? Is Derby willing to form another alliance with Fuuin?"

"Galan..." A very familiar male voice rang in my ears, "What are you saying?"

I shuddered: "Xu Lie?!" I reached out and touched the hand supporting me; it was warm. It really was Xu Lie! Yi Han's hands were always cold, but Fei Fei's hands were much smoother.

So there was no moonlight last night? I sighed and asked, "What time is it now? What's the weather like outside?"

Xu Lie remained silent for a long time, seemingly lost in thought, but still answered, "At six in the morning, it was still very dark, and outside... there was a blizzard."

A snowstorm? That means I won't be able to go back to ancient times for several days. I turned my head, feeling warm breath on my face, and suddenly frowned, saying, "Since it's not even dawn yet, what are you doing in my room?"

Of all the seasons, spring, summer, autumn, and winter, I actually dislike winter. I'm naturally sensitive to cold, my throat gets itchy when the weather is dry, and my lips become unusually red and swollen when exposed to wind, so I've never liked winter before.

I sat by the window. A heater was burning inside, and the aroma of food wafted from the canteen to my right. The wind was strong outside, and I could hear it howling through the window. It was another snowy day!

Feeling that no one was around, I secretly opened the window a crack, and a blast of cold air immediately rushed in. I shivered and quickly closed it; the warmth enveloping my body made me feel safe, but soon I began to miss the feeling of the cold wind blowing against my face. Unable to see winter, I now yearn especially for the wind and snow to paint the colors of winter.

The window was slightly ajar, and I secretly stretched out a hand. The wind whipped at my skin, and snowflakes fell into my palm, a cold, stinging pain mixed with a sharp, clear awareness. I slowly revealed a faint smile.

Footsteps approached from behind. I recognized who it was; their footsteps were light yet steady and powerful, carrying the pride, confidence, and nobility cultivated from childhood. In this world, he certainly had the capital to be proud. Young and accomplished, wealthy, and handsome. However, it was precisely these qualities that made him face more temptations and choices than others, and more likely to lose what was truly precious. How to put it? God is ultimately fair, only a cold-blooded one.

A warm hand grasped my wrist, pulling me back from the chill of the wind. His voice was no longer hoarse from his illness, but its range had widened considerably, making it sound incredibly sexy. In my memory, Xu Lie was indeed a very handsome man.

He wasn't as stunningly beautiful as Liu Cenfeng, nor as refined as Han Jue. He was more of a handsome type, with a masculine aura and slender lines that easily stirred the imagination. His slightly sunken eye sockets gave him a melancholic air, and when he looked at you, even if he didn't mean anything by it, you could see your own reflection in his pupils. So even though he appeared indifferent on the surface, it gave people the illusion that he treated you differently.

If I had to describe him in one sentence, he's the kind of man who easily attracts women's secret crushes and affections. Essentially, he's somewhat similar to Zhang Wuji in *The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber*, who declares Zhao Min as his greatest love, yet doesn't truly love only her.

"You'll catch a cold." Xu Lie pulled my hand back, closed the window, and then covered my hand with his warm palm.

I pulled back with a light but firm touch: "Aren't you going back to Shanghuai? The snowstorm will stop tomorrow."

Do you really want me to leave?

"That's not true." I raised an eyebrow slightly. "It's just a matter of what you want."

"Galan!" His hands gripped my shoulders tightly, and I frowned slightly. "Galan! Why are you getting colder and colder towards me every day? Even just a few days ago, with your cold words, would have been better..."

“Because I’m growing, day by day…” cruelly… “Growing.” I sighed, and hearing the noise from the kitchen, I stood up. “Xu Lie, don’t be silly. The Lin Jialan you loved back then is no longer the Lin Jialan you once loved. With each passing day, I become more cold-blooded, and my love and hate for you fade away a little more.”

"I won't give up!" Suddenly enveloped in a burning heat, Xu Lie hugged me tightly and said in a hoarse voice, "I will never give up! You are my only wife, you were, you are, and you will always be!"

"Hey! You brat, I told you not to take advantage of my sister. You deserve a beating!" My brother's angry voice rang out. I struggled, but Xu Lie held me tighter. I could only say cold-blooded things, but they were the truth: "Whatever! Whether you give up or not is none of my business..."

The burning softness silenced all my voices. What was this? Of course I knew what it was. I froze in shock. Xu Lie was kissing me. Xu Lie was actually kissing me?! I tried to push away his chest, but he held me tightly around the waist. My hands were pressed against my chest, which was covered only by a sweater, and against his thin sweater. The intimate contact between our hands made my body feel like it was on fire.

"What are you doing?!" My brother's angry voice rushed towards us. I felt my body, which he had been holding, shift slightly. My lips, which had just parted an inch, were then seized by an even hotter breath. Xu Lie had one hand around my waist and the other tightly gripping my head as I tried to pull away, his fingers darting through my loose hair. His tongue, which had entered me just as I was about to catch my breath, swept over every inch of my lips and teeth, burning like flames yet as gentle as clear water. My tongue stung from being sucked, and my lips, already slightly swollen from the winter heat, felt like they were on fire. The once-familiar masculine scent, with that entanglement and envelopment, seeped into my body little by little, stirring up my most primal desires and memories…

"Slap—" I slapped him across the face, my voice trembling in a way I couldn't even imagine myself saying, "Xu Lie, what right do you have?!"

"Galan..." Xu Lie's voice was still heavy with breaths and joy as he called my name again and again as he drew closer. "Galan... we can go back, we can, you just clearly..."

"Shut up!" I growled, interrupting him and taking a step back to create distance between us.

"You clearly felt it just now too." He grabbed my shoulders and shouted excitedly in my ear, "Why are you running away? Why won't you face it? You still love me!"

I clenched my teeth and raised my hand, intending to slap him again. But my hand froze in mid-air, unable to swing down. The frustration and depression in my heart almost overwhelmed me completely. I shoved away his hands that were trying to hold me tightly, took a step back, and stood there coldly.

In the overwhelming darkness, I sneered, "Xu Lie, I admit, this body still has feelings for you. But it's just a body now! Here..." I pointed to my temple, my trembling fingers moving slightly downwards, then to my rapidly beating heart, my voice filled with a piercing sorrow, "And here, they've long forgotten you because of their past despair and pain. My soul will never love you again!"

"Not everything in this world can be undone, and not every hurt can be erased." I took a deep breath and slowly regained my composure. "The deeper the love, the deeper the hate; the more fleeting the happiness, the longer the torment. Even if one day I can forget all the pain, it will be when I have completely forgotten my love for you."

I couldn't see his expression, but I could feel a sense of desolation and despair hanging in the air. I slowly made my way up the stairs, step by step, and said in a hoarse voice, "Brother, could you bring my food up? I want to eat in my room."

"Oh... okay! Okay!"

I climbed the stairs step by step, holding onto the railing with one hand. Each step felt like my legs were made of lead. Why was I so agitated? Why couldn't I calm down in front of him? He was a man I no longer loved! He was the man who had hurt me so badly!

I only realized I'd forgotten my phone when I got close to the door; there was an MP3 version of "Zizhi Tongjian" that I'd just downloaded. I had to slowly feel my way down to get it. Halfway down the stairs, I heard my brother and Xu Lie talking.
