Chapter 222: Crying Beautifully
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Yue Xin secretly rejoiced that No.12 had not stomped on Denise’s face.
Otherwise, her observations today would have been affected. She was going to take Denise to Building No. 8 to further understand the attitude of the men in Building No. 8 to Denise. Although she had stood far away yesterday and had not seen the expressions of the prisoners when they snatched Denise’s money, the translation from her earpiece told her that the prisoners’ attitude towards Denise was different from that of the other prisoners. She wanted to figure out what was going on. For this, Denise’s face must not be injured.
As a friendly superior, Yue Xin was very satisfied with No.12’s actions. She immediately praised No.12, “No.12, well done.”
No.12 was inexplicably praised and was a little puzzled. He couldn’t help but exert more strength.
Denise immediately began to cry. Her voice was soft, but her words were articulate. Coupled with her sobbing tone, she managed to grasp every word perfectly. It was as if a feather had brushed across your heart. It tickled, but you couldn’t touch it.
“It hurts… Can you please… remove your foot?”
Yue Xin kept staring at Denise and felt that it was very interesting after hearing this. Denise was different from Maya and her sister. She looked very weak, but Yue Xin felt that she was very powerful. In order to figure this out, Yue Xin squatted down and looked down at Denise, who was still moving even though she was stepped on the ground. She contemplated silently.
Yue Xin didn’t speak, and neither did No.12. No.12 didn’t even understand. He maintained his original strength and stepped on Denise, making her unable to get up.
Denise cried beautifully for a while. She realized that Yue Xin was looking at her expressionlessly, and No.12 had no intention of raising his leg. Her cries finally became softer and softer. She sobbed and asked, “I’m sorry. Did I do something wrong to make you unhappy?
Yue Xin shook her head and looked at Denise’s tears that were like broken pearls. She said calmly, “You’re crying very beautifully. I want to watch you for a while longer.” With that, she realized that Denise was stunned and stopped crying. She said to No.12, “No.12, use more strength. She won’t cry anymore.”
When No.12 heard this, he exerted strength on his feet and tears instantly welled up in Denise’s eyes. But this time, the tears were really caused by physical pain.
Yue Xin observed for a while more before standing up. She looked at Denise on the ground and asked, “Although you’re crying very beautifully, why did you bring these people here?”
These words made Denise’s pitiful expression change instantly.
No.12 also looked at Yue Xin in surprise. It turned out that she had also discovered it.
As soon as Yue Xin finished speaking, eight people suddenly walked out from the darkness of the corridor. There were five girls and three youths who looked very inexperienced. They were about 16 years old. It was different from what Yue Xin had imagined. The ones hiding in the dark were not ferocious criminals who looked like they was not to be trifled with, but thin minors? But on second thought, it made sense. If they were experienced criminals, she probably wouldn’t have discovered them so easily.
“No.12, let her go.”
When No.12 heard Yue Xin’s command, he raised his foot, but Denise didn’t get up immediately. Perhaps No.12 had used too much strength just now.
Yue Xin squatted in front of Denise again and poked her face. She felt that it was very elastic and poked it again.
The young men and women at the side immediately looked at Denise with worried eyes. There were even two young men who wanted to pounce on Yue Xin to save her, but they were all stopped by No.12 and could only watch anxiously.
Denise was poked in the face by Yue Xin. She didn’t know what Yue Xin wanted to do, and she didn’t dare to resist, nor could she resist. Her waist hurt so much that she couldn’t recover for the time being. She could only lie down and let Yue Xin poke her. Fortunately, Yue Xin’s nails were trimmed very smooth and clean. She didn’t use much strength, so she didn’t feel any pain.
After poking for a while, Yue Xin was done playing. She asked, “The time we agreed on is 9 a.m., and I only invited you.”
Yue Xin’s words were emotionless, and there was no expression on her face. It was just like when she spoke to Denise yesterday; she was calm and casual. But unlike yesterday’s harmless appearance, today, Denise could feel fear from looking into Yue Xin’s eyes. She knew that someone who could subdue the strongest prison guard as a knight could not be too innocent.
Denise weighed her options and finally made a decision. She didn’t know why Yue Xin was offering her an olive branch, but she didn’t seem to have any other choice.
“I’m sorry, I don’t have any ill intentions. I just want to ask you for a favor. Can you protect these children as well? As long as you’re willing, I’ll do anything.”
Hearing this, Yue Xin didn’t answer. Instead, she stood up and looked down at Denise, so that Denise couldn’t see her expression. Yue Xin wondered what Yi Chengxuan would do if he was here..
