Chapter 161

Hearing this, Long Chen stopped but did not turn around. However, he did not get rid of Zuo Bo’s hand either. Instead, he said calmly, “This has nothing to do with you. It was me who was not careful enough.”

After he said that, Long Chen tried to break free from Zuo Bo’s hold, but Zuo Bo seemed to have sensed it already. Suddenly, he tightened his grip on Long Chen’s wrist so that Long Chen could not break free so easily. He breathed a sigh in pain again, but still couldn’t say anything. Maybe it was not because he was speechless, but because he was holding too much to say in his heart, which made him not know what to say at that moment.

Long Chen stopped struggling, and the two of them were now back to back; even the atmosphere between them seemed heavy.

Probably having been waiting for Zuo Bo to speak for too long, Long Chen’s eyes darkened for a second. Then he looked up and sighed as if he was going through a lot of sorrow in his heart. He clenched his fists over and over again. Suddenly he took a step forward and gave Zuo Bo a punch directly. He roared as he tried his best to suppress his rage, “Don’t you have anything to say to me?”

The fist hit Zuo Bo in the face directly, and blood oozed out the corner or his mouth. But comparing to the pain he was feeling physically, the sudden rage of Long Chen made him feel even more heartbreaking because he couldn’t explain anything to Long Chen. The more he knew, the more dangerous it would be for him.

“Heh…” Seeing that Zuo Bo was still silent, Long Chen chuckled, self-mockingly, with a bitter feeling in his voice.

“So be it.” The next second, his expression had returned to normal. After he said that, he tried his best to get rid of Zuo Bo’s hand. But no matter how hard he tried, Zuo Bo was still holding him tightly, and all his efforts were in vain.

“Let go of me.” Long Chen seemed a little angry and tried hard to get rid of Zuo Bo’s grip, but Zuo Bo held it so tightly that it hurt Long Chen.

Long Chen suddenly chuckled and then said, “You coward.”

This time, he stopped struggling and stood right in front of Zuo Bo firmly, but he did not look at Zuo Bo. There was more disgust in his eyes, which was like a sharp blade in Zuo Bo’s eyes. Zuo Bo could no longer sense the difficulty of breathing he was experiencing, because the pain in his heart was just way too overwhelming.

Suddenly, Zuo Bo leaned his head against Long Chen’s shoulder, adjusting his breathing. This was the first time Zuo Bo was so helpless in front of Long Chen. Normally, he would always put on a playful smile no matter Long Chen was being mean to him or trying to stab him with his sword. And he would look at Long Chen with his erotic eyes, showing everything he was thinking in his mind. But now he was just trying to suppress his breathing, his sorrow and fear. He was fearing that Long Chen would just leave him like that, fearing that something horrible would happen to Long Chen when he was not with him.

Long Chen’s body shivered when Zuo Bo leaned on his shoulder. Perhaps it was because Zuo Bo was too fragile at this time, as if something inside him was about to collapse, so Long Chen was frightened.

Long Chen didn’t dare to push Zuo Bo away. Perhaps he didn’t have the heart to do that. They fell into silence again until Long Chen moved his body a little. Zuo Bo thought Long Chen was about to push him away so he said with a weak voice, “Let me lean on your shoulder just for a little while.”

His voice was so soft as if it could disappear in an instant, but it still hit Long Chen’s heart.

Suddenly, Long Chen felt his eyes were hot, and he just stood there, biting on the back of his hand and said nothing.

He kept trying to adjust his breathing, as if he was trying to calm himself down and hold tears. Perhaps it was Zuo Bo’s words that awakened his emotions, or maybe he just wanted to hear Zuo Bo say such an ordinary sentence to him.

They couldn’t tell who was the one who broke the other one’s heart.

Or maybe, they were both victims in love.
