Chen Xu listened to Yang Jinxia's words and envisioned the scene of her sitting in the control room of the shelter, the entire shelter empty except for a dismembered body frozen in a glass cabinet beside her.
Just thinking about that scene sent chills through his heart.
He felt a complex mix of emotions towards the woman before him, both moved and guilty.
He could not imagine what belief and mood had sustained her to the end.
But...
"Why did you lie to me?" he asked, puzzled. "If you had recognized me from the beginning, none of this would have happened."
Yang Jinxia looked at him, her eyes flickering, and sighed. "I was too greedy."
"In that dream, you didn't think highly of me. You told me to sleep with you, but in reality, you were always wary and resistant towards me."
"You never took any intimate initiative with me, which clearly shows something that I am well aware of."
