16. Intimacy(2/2)
Tantai Jin wondered: "What is self-esteem?"
His pupils were dark, and there was no trace of humiliation on his face. Lan An was shocked and suddenly understood that the boy in front of him was born with a lack of shame.
Lan An's lips moved: "It's just... they are playing tricks on you..."
"Really?" Tantai Jin tilted his head, the innocence in his eyes faded, and asked calmly, "Aren't you going to give me something to eat?"
Lan An: "No."
Tantai Jin swallowed the sugar residue in his mouth and licked his lips: "That's it..."
Su Su, as a little kitten, was standing on the rockery, watching everything in silence.
Two days later, the body of a palace maid was found in the lake.
She happened to be the palace maid who asked her to bark like a dog.
Her body swelled and her body floated, looking ugly and terrifying.
Su Su held her head with her cat's paws. What kind of nightmare was this?
Lan An held the little boy under the candlelight, her lips trembling: "Your Highness, was it you who did it?"
Tantai Jin tilted his head: "What did I do?"
"Your Majesty... Your Highness..."
"Why do the third prince and the fifth prince have people to take care of them and have Shunian, but I don't?" the boy interrupted her and asked with his black and white eyes open.
Lan An said bitterly: "Because we have no power and no support."
Tantai Jin pondered for a moment and said coldly: "If they have no support, am I the same as them?" As long as they have no mother, everyone will be equal.
Lan An covered her lips and took two steps back in shock.
"you!"
Tantai Jin said: "Are you afraid of me?"
Lan An forced a smile and said, "Your Highness has misunderstood."
The boy lowered his head, his eyes blank and confused.
Su Su never expected that she would be caught by Tantai Jin after Lan An left.
The boy's hands were so bony that he grabbed her by the back of her neck. As a little kitten, Susumu's hair was about to explode.
"I found you." he said.
The next moment, Tantai Jin let go of his hand and pushed her in front of a small dried fish.
"Eat." He ordered.
Su Su thought to herself, I'm stupid for eating this.
However, the possessed little kitten already relied on instinct to lick the dried fish uncontrollably.
Su Su was crying and despairing in her heart.
Not long after, her cat body twitched and she lost her breath.
Tantai Jin buried the kitten calmly.
Su Su's body was forced to leave. This time, she didn't know what possessed her, and she couldn't move.
On a thunderstorm night, the door was pushed open.
Lan An pushed the little boy in, broke down and cried: "I was wrong, I shouldn't have saved you, I shouldn't have asked the emperor to remember our old feelings and spare your life. You are not the child of Concubine Rou, you are a monster!"
"Aunt Lan'an?"
"Shut up!" Lan An was hysterical, "You actually tried to... murder His Highness the Third Prince!"
"He didn't eat." Tantai Jin thought for a moment and smiled sweetly, "He didn't eat, didn't he? Don't be angry, aunt."
"That's because I stopped him!" Lan An said with trembling lips, "I can't teach you. From now on, you can fend for yourself."
Tantai Jin's smile disappeared and he raised his eyes: "Are you going to betray me too?"
Lan An didn't answer, pushed him away, and disappeared into the thunderstorm.
Tantai Jin sat cross-legged on the futon.
Thunder split the sky, revealing the boy's calm and pale face. He moved his facial muscles, trying to show an innocent and pitiful expression.
The next moment, he returned to his indifferent look.
Looking down at his indifferent expression, Su Su suddenly realized that he didn't care at all. He might even be thinking that Lan An should die if he betrayed him.
It turns out that the so-called evil bones are actually like this. They are born to be bloodthirsty and violent, and they will do anything to survive.
He lacks sympathy, compassion, and does not understand what shame is.
Maybe... Susu thought in a daze, he didn't understand what love and feelings were, and he was born cold and cold.
This is why dad said that if you have evil bones, you will never be converted.
Lan An was so kind to him and raised him, but the eyes he looked at Lan An were cold and uncaring.
Lan An didn't want him, but he didn't feel reluctant to give up, only angry and displeased, and his dark eyes looked very gloomy.
Lightning illuminated the room, and Tantai Jin suddenly saw a statue of a glazed goddess on the high platform.
The glass is clear and transparent, the goddess has long hair reaching her waist, her skirt is layered, and there is a little cinnabar between her eyebrows.
She clings to the sword and looks brave and holy.
He stared at the Liuli Goddess for a long time without blinking.
Su Su's hair stood on end.
Then, he actually started to climb up the high platform. Halfway through, he fell down and was scratched with a three-inch long bloody mark by sawdust.
He got up as if nothing had happened and continued to approach her.
Su Su almost screamed: Don't come over!
After several repetitions, she was finally held in Tantai Jin's hands.
He gently touched her cheek with his blood-stained hands.
The childish voice whispered: "So beautiful."
Long hair cinnabar.
The brave and holy goddess holding a sword was so stunning after the darkness was cut through.
He looked at the glass goddess in his palm, and with his blood-stained hands, he was fascinated to smear her body with his own blood.
Su Su felt his cold fingers and her whole body felt bad: "..." What a psycho!
