As soon as Bai Xiaowei walked into the room, a strong smell of blood hit her in the face, mixed with pungent alcohol, steaming hot air, and gurgling water.

It feels like being in a slaughterhouse.

The nausea that hadn't appeared for a long time suddenly came over her, and she touched her chest to suppress it.

There was no one in the bedroom. Bai Xiaowei did not dare to be careless and carefully observed the surroundings.

——The four-poster bed with carved beams and painted buildings looks soft and comfortable, very suitable for a deep sleep.

——The ground was covered with a snow-white cashmere carpet. As soon as you stepped on it, you would feel supported by the tough and thick cashmere, as if you were stepping on clouds.

—— Opposite the bed is a wine cabinet that takes up an entire wall, with bottles of various packaging displayed in order. Perhaps because the wine cabinet is too large, the bottles do not fill up the cabinet, and it is half empty.

——There is an oil painting hanging on the wall, which looks very much like Van Gogh’s “Starry Night”.

Bai Xiaowei didn't know how to appreciate foreign paintings. She just felt that the rolling patterns and rich colors made her dizzy.

Even though she had eliminated the danger in the bedroom, she was still worried.

I glanced at the open bathroom door - the sound of water was coming from here, so I thought Xue Shaoyang should be here.

She stepped on the cashmere carpet step by step without making a sound and came to the bathroom door.

I took a quick look inside and saw Xue Shaoyang sitting with his back to the bathroom door, drinking alone by the bathtub which was as big as a small swimming pool.

The faucet embedded by the pool was pouring out hot water, bringing up a cloud of steam.

Bai Xiaowei only stood there for a while before she felt that the moisture content in the air was too high, making every breath she took damp, and her body became sticky and heavy due to the steaming mist.

She walked towards Xue Shaoyang without deliberately making her steps light.

Xue Shaoyang should have heard the footsteps, but he didn't turn around and continued drinking.

Her arm was wrapped in gauze, with faint traces of blood.

Bai Xiaowei heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that Xue Shaoyang was not crazy enough to want to bleed him dry. Jiang Guan's family was really exaggerating...

Just as he was thinking this, he saw Xue Shaoyang put down his wine glass, took out a small knife from somewhere, and slashed his left arm hard.

In an instant, blood gushed out.

Bai Xiaowei: “!”

My heart suddenly contracted, and an inexplicable emotion surged from my heart.

This feeling was too strange and came so suddenly that she couldn't tell what it was. She only felt a sharp pain in her heart.

Although it is a bit inexplicable, after all, Bai Xiaowei is not a cold-blooded person.

Even because of Xue Yunyun, she still had a grudge against the Xue family.

However, over her many years of experience as a prosecutor, she has always adhered to one philosophy - even if someone has committed a crime, she wants to do her best to save him rather than kill him with one blow.

What's more, a living person is now mutilating himself in front of her?

"What are you doing?" She stepped forward, took the bloody knife away from Xue Shaoyang, turned around and threw it out of the window.

She thought Xue Shaoyang would snatch the knife from her.

So during the whole process, she protected her belly with one hand, and her movements were clean and neat.

However, Xue Shaoyang didn't move until she threw the knife and turned around.

No, that can't be said - all we can say is that Xue Shaoyang had no intention of grabbing the knife.

She picked up the bottle again and began to drink in big gulps.

If you ignore the flowing red blood.

——Xue Shaoyang was sitting alone on the shore in a gauze nightgown. She had a graceful figure and her charming face was shrouded in mist, making her look like a fairy walking out of the Moon Palace.

From beginning to end, Xue Shaoyang was very quiet and had no intention of hurting anyone.

However, Bai Xiaowei felt a suffocating despair spreading throughout the house.

This feeling came out of nowhere and made her mood gloomy.

——It was as if all the sadness and pain she had experienced in the past came upon her in an instant, making her want to cry. She felt that the road ahead was bleak and she could not find hope in living.

Just a few hours ago, she still enjoyed making Xue Shaoyang angry.

And now, she could actually empathize with her pain.

If Bai Xiaowei was not a staunch materialist, she would even feel that she was possessed.

She walked forward, first turned off the running faucet, then opened the window, letting the cold wind in and blowing away the heavy air in the room.

"Loving you is not just two or three days..."

The phone rang, it was Gu Wenrui.

The pleasant exclusive ringtone was like a warm breeze that blew away some of the despair and depression in her heart.

"I'm fine, don't worry."

Hearing her say this, Gu Wenrui felt relieved and said casually, "I'll take you for a midnight snack after I'm done. Steak or foie gras?"

Listening to him talking nonsense in a serious manner, Bai Xiaowei tacitly kept her expression steady and didn't laugh.

Everyone close to her knows that she doesn't like Western food.

So, no matter whether her answer was steak or foie gras, Gu Wenrui would kick the door open the next second.

This was a tacit understanding that was unique to the two of them and had never been discussed beforehand.

She glanced at Xue Shaoyang, who was drunk and bleeding, and sighed: "I don't have an appetite right now, wait for me for a while."

Gu Wenrui's low voice was like an electric shock: "Okay, I'll wait for you."

Bai Xiaowei's heartbeat quickened and her ears felt numb: "Yeah."

After hanging up the phone, her brows couldn't help but frown.

She sighed, resigned herself to picking up the medicine box on the table, went to Xue Shaoyang and bandaged her.

Xue Shaoyang was very drunk.

Her head was dizzy and the heat blurred her vision.

Suddenly, she seemed to see Yan Chenzhou again.

The man she loved and hated.

"The sunken ship... the sunken ship..."

She murmured like in a dream, her voice coquettish.

Bai Xiaowei was quick and agile, and quickly did the disinfection and bandaging work.

The wound was quite deep and needed stitches, so she could only tie it up tightly and apply pressure to stop the bleeding.

After Xue Shaoyang falls asleep, we still have to call a doctor.

Bai Xiaowei felt helpless that Xue Shaoyang mistook her for Yan Chenzhou.

She wanted to use her face that looked like Yan Chenzhou to trick her into telling the truth.

But now Xue Shaoyang was drunk and even mutilating himself, and she was afraid of hearing a bunch of nonsense drunken talk.

Instead, it misled her thinking.

As she was tying the bandage with her eyes downcast, she suddenly felt her face getting hot and she was startled.

When she reacted, she realized that it was Xue Shaoyang who put his palm on her face.

Perhaps because of the alcohol, Xue Shaoyang's palms were very warm.

Very soft too.

Bai Xiaowei didn't mind her touch, so she ignored it and continued to tie the knot with her head down.

"Chen Zhou, why don't you speak?"

"Chen Zhou, can you please look at me?"

"I was wrong about what happened back then, but I just loved you too much, so please don't blame me, okay?"

"..."

No matter how Xue Shaoyang chattered and poured out his heart, Bai Xiaowei remained unmoved.

She tied the bandage into a bow shape, which matched Xue Shaoyang's tulle nightgown perfectly.

When the cold wind blows, the clothes flutter and I feel like I'm floating in the air.

Bai Xiaowei breathed a sigh of relief and was about to retire, but she saw Xue Shaoyang's expression suddenly twisted.

Her voice was sharp and filled with hysterical hatred.

"Yan Chenzhou, why do you ignore me? Do you think you are nobler than me? Ha! Don't forget, you are a murderer!"

"Hahaha, you are a murderer, Professor Yan is a murderer! Hahaha..."

Xue Shaoyang laughed loudly, looking like a madman.

As she laughed, tears slowly overflowed from the corners of her eyes.

"...She is your child too! Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. You claim to be kind and generous, but you don't even let a little baby go. You are not a human! You are not a human!"

"If you hate me, just come at me. Why are you hurting my daughter? Do you know what a good baby she is? She doesn't cry or make a fuss. She even smiles at me. She's sweet and soft..."

Bai Xiaowei's feet were nailed to the spot, unable to move anymore.
