The library was silent now. The candle flames flickered softly 🕯️.
Xiao Zhan lay unconscious in Yibo's arms, his face tired but looking calmer.
Yibo gently brushed his forehead.
Yibo said in whispering〰️
"You're safe now, Zhan… I'll never leave you alone again." ❤️
But just then Han closed the book and let out a deep breath. His eyes glimmered in the shadows.
Han said in a low voice〰️
"Safe? Not yet. The real game begins now…"
Yibo turned to him, suspicion in his eyes.
Yibo: "What are you saying, Han ? You came here to protect us… didn't you?"
Han's laughter was cold and mysterious.
Han: "Yes, I came to protect. But… only Xiao Zhan. Not you."
Yibo's fists tightened.
Yibo said 😡. 〰️
"What do you mean?"
Han looked at Xiao Zhan's face, his eyes filled with strange softness and pain.
Han: "Lian wasn't just your love, Yibo… she was mine too." 💔
The color drained from Yibo's face.
Yibo (stunned): "What…?"
Han stepped closer, his voice rising, cracked with rage.
Han: "Yes! Lian was my sister. And you… you betrayed her. You left her incomplete—that's why her soul wanders this world!"
A cold gust swept through the room ❄️.
Yibo's chest tightened.
Yibo: "Han.… I didn't betray her. I just…"
Han's eyes filled with tears, but his voice trembled with fury.
Han: "Silence! Because of you she died… because of you her soul could never rest. And now Xiao Zhan—he's paying the price for your past!"
Yibo held Xiao Zhan tighter against him.
Yibo firmly said 〰️
"No. Xiao Zhan is my life. And I won't let him burn in your fire of vengeance."
Han's eyes gleamed coldly.
Han softly said 〰️
"We'll see, Yibo… we'll see if you can truly save your love… or drown in your past and lose everything." 👁️
The library walls began to tremble again. Words appeared across the glass—
"Blood will pay for Blood." 🩸
Xiao Zhan's eyes slowly fluttered open. For the first time, he looked at both Han and Yibo
〰️
His soul now stood trapped between their battle.
