Chapter 356: Chapter 356 Terrifying Scene_1

Hai Xiaotang’s expression was also complicated.

She had not expected to see such a scene.

In the large bedroom, the furniture was simple, almost only a wardrobe and a large bed.

Dongfang Yu was curled up on the bed.

But…

The walls all around were almost entirely covered with portraits of a woman. They lay scattered all around the floor too.

The whole room was filled with images of this woman!

In each portrait, the woman’s facial expression was different.

Some showed anger, some joy, some depicted her asleep, and others showed her eating…

The countless portraits were of just one person, and that was Hai Xiaotang!

Hai Xiaotang was stunned. She really hadn’t expected to see all this. This was indeed a frightening scene…

Yes, it was terrifying and weighed heavily on one’s heart.

The doctor had given Dongfang Yu an injection and left after hanging an IV drip.

Hai Xiaotang did not leave. She could not tear her gaze away from these portraits.

Looking at each of these images, Hai Xiaotang seemed to glimpse the love and hatred Dongfang Yu showed each time he sketched.

She could genuinely sense his love and hate as they were entirely embedded in these images.

The emotions imbued in each portrait left her deeply moved…

Hai Xiaotang stared at Dongfang Yu, who was asleep, longing to ask him – can he really not let go?

For some reason, Hai Xiaotang was reminded of herself in her past life.

Back then, she constantly asked herself why she couldn’t let go.

It would be great if she could just let go and spare herself the pain. But, she simply couldn’t…

…

Seated at the edge of the bed deeply in thought, Hai Xiaotang also kept an eye on the fluid in the IV bag.

Time unknowingly passed as the dawn approached.

Finally, Hai Xiaotang couldn’t hold on any longer. She propped herself on the bedside table and dozed off.

Dongfang Yu slowly opened his eyes. The sight of her sleeping was all he saw.

He was stunned, thinking to himself that he was dreaming!

Why is Hai Xiaotang here?

Dongfang Yu unconsciously held his breath, his gaze fixed on her without blinking, for fear that the slightest distraction could disturb this dream.

This dream seemed even more real than the ones he had every night.

In his usual dreams, Hai Xiaotang’s face was blurry, and he could never make it out clearly. But this time it was crystal clear, so clear that he could hear her shallow breathing…

Dongfang Yu was afraid to wake from this dream, so he kept watching her cautiously, greedily.

Just watching her this way brought him immense satisfaction; it made him incredibly happy.

However, at that moment, Hai Xiaotang opened her eyes!

Their eyes met, and they both froze.

In that moment, Hai Xiaotang saw the obsession in Dongfang Yu’s eyes, but it disappeared in the blink of an eye!

What replaced it was cold sobriety as he regained his senses!

Hai Xiaotang was somewhat puzzled by his transformation, but dismissed that thought almost as quickly as it had come.

“Have you woken up?” she sat up and asked awkwardly.

At the moment Hai Xiaotang awakened, Dongfang Yu also realized that he was not dreaming!

All his fantasies were shattered, his mood equally so.

“What are you doing here?!” he asked coldly.

Hai Xiaotang was unfazed by his attitude and casually said, “I came to give you the car keys and the repair fee and then…”

“You’ve entered my room without permission?!” Dongfang Yu suddenly cut her off, visibly annoyed.

He sat up abruptly and glanced at the portraits filling the room…

These were the deepest, darkest reflections of his soul, and the last thing he wanted was for Hai Xiaotang to see them.
