Chapter 27 - The Triangle Of Shadows

🍁🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂🍁🍂

Xiao Zhan could no longer trust anyone blindly.

Not Yibo…

Not Han.

And Lian's truth kept echoing in his mind again and again.

The air in the room had grown heavy,

the tension so thick it felt hard to breathe.

Han returned to the room—

probably thinking Xiao Zhan was still lost in fear or shock.

But Xiao Zhan stood silent now,

his face calm,

yet fire burned in his eyes.

Han stepped closer.

Han: "Zhan… are you al—"

Xiao Zhan (coldly):

"You lied to me."

Han froze.

Han: "W… what?"

Zhan looked straight into his eyes—

for the first time, without fear.

Xiao Zhan:

"You told me only half the truth about that night.

The rest… was your mistake too.

Not just Yibo's."

Han's face fell—

as if his worst fear had come alive.

At that very moment—

The door slammed open.

Yibo walked in.

His face was shadowed, his eyes intense,

as if he had already sensed something was wrong.

Yibo saw them standing close together—

Xiao Zhan and Han—

And his expression darkened instantly.

Yibo (in a low voice):

"Han… step away from him."

Han let out a bitter laugh.

Han:

"You should've stayed away from him, Yibo.

Maybe Lian would still be alive."

His words sliced through the air.

Xiao Zhan looked at both of them—

hatred, guilt, and jealousy spreading between them like fire.

Yibo's eyes began to darken.

Yibo (dangerously):

"If you say Lian's name again…

I won't tolerate it."

Han stepped forward, fearless.

Han:

"And what if something happens to Zhan too?

Will you still say it's not your fault?"

Xiao Zhan was trapped between them—

his heart pounding violently.

Suddenly, the lights flickered.

The air turned icy.

Lian's spirit had arrived.

Her voice echoed through the room—

but this time, it wasn't only for Xiao Zhan.

This time, Yibo and Han could hear her too.

Lian (echoing):

"Enough…

This has gone on long enough."

All three froze.

The room plunged into darkness.

Lian's shadow rippled through the air—

she seemed more powerful than before.

Lian:

"You three…

are all part of my story.

Yibo— you loved me, but you didn't trust me.

Han— you could have saved me, but you were afraid.

And Xiao Zhan…"

She moved toward Zhan—

calm, almost gentle.

Lian:

"You are the one who can show my truth to the world.

Because you…

will not accept lies."

Yibo instantly grabbed Xiao Zhan—

as if to keep Lian from touching him.

The unease inside him twisted into jealousy.

Yibo:

"Zhan is mine.

Stay away from him."

The room trembled—

as if two worlds were colliding.

Han stepped forward.

Han:

"Yibo, don't treat him like an object—he's human!"

Yibo shouted—

"Enough!"

Lian's shadow laughed—

bitter, sorrowful.

Lian:

"And that… is your truth, Yibo."

They stood before her—

Yibo: love + obsession + fear

Han: guilt + protectiveness + jealousy

Xiao Zhan: confusion + hurt + responsibility

Lian: sorrow + truth + unfinished love

Lian spoke her final words—

Lian:

"Until all three of you face the truth…

I will never leave."

And she vanished—

Leaving the room frozen like ice.

Xiao Zhan looked at them—

And for the first time, he realized—

This was no longer just a supernatural story.

It had become a war of

jealousy, guilt, and love.
