Chapter 772: He Is Soul Fighter (6)

The crystal chandelier in the bedroom was turned on. The room was as bright as daylight.

They stood facing each other now without speaking.

The room was silent.

Shen Liangchuan did not bend over to pick up his towel.

He looked steadily at Qiao Lian. The quick flash of sorrow in his eyes was barely noticeable.

Indeed.

He should have known. She was a smart girl and surely, she had realized it.

He lowered his gaze slowly.

Her question wasn’t really a question. She already knew.

Indeed, after a short pause, she spoke again slowly, “That person by the name of Zhou Song was Soul Fighter’s real name, and he was Song Yuanxi’s brother, is that right?”

Shen Liangchuan felt every muscle in his body stiffen.

Too many things had happened in the space of a day, and the mix of messages that Qiao Lian had received was at best confusing.

On the surface, it looked like she was in a festive mood, having a boisterous time with Xia Yehua, but in fact, she had been thinking.

And right now, she had straightened all the thoughts in her head.

Although Shen Liangchuan did not answer her questions, she was already sure of her own guesses.

Soul Fighter…

So that person was Soul Fighter.

She gulped and looked intently at Shen Liangchuan, waiting for his final confirmation.

He stood there, his deep and dark eyes becoming sharp and abstruse. Then he slowly replied, “Yes, you’re right.”

Yes to the guess that he was Soul Fighter.

She was right about Song Yuanxi being Soul Fighter’s sister.

At once, Qiao Lian clenched her fists tightly.

She thought about how the day that she and Shen Liangchuan were supposed to meet was the day Zhou Song had an accident. Then, she thought about how the day that Zhou Song had died was the day that Shen Liangchuan had called her to say that they wouldn’t meet again.

So did Soul Fighter have anything to do with what happened eight years ago?

She took a step towards Shen Liangchuan and looked at him steadily. Then she asked, “How did Soul Fighter die?”

Shen Liangchuan pursed his lips.

She reached out to grab his arm, asking, “Did it have anything to do with me?”

“No,” his answer was quick. Too quick. As though he was anxious to put an end to that idea.

But it was too obvious. How could it have nothing to do with her?

She bit her lip and continued, “If it had nothing to do with me, then why did Song Yuanxi insist that I’m her enemy?”

Shen Liangchuan turned away sharply and, after a moment, turned back to look at her.

She could see the struggle in his eyes.

She kept her gaze steadily on him, hoping for an answer.

However, Shen Liangchuan pulled his chin taut and replied after a moment of silence, “She misunderstood.”

Misunderstood?

Surely, the whole matter from eight years ago was a misunderstanding.

She had done nothing!

She had never even seen Soul Fighter. How could she have done anything to harm him?

Qiao Lian took a step forward and started to speak, but she saw that Shen Liangchuan had suddenly bent over to pick his towel up. As he did so, he said, “I’m going to take a shower.”

He strode into the washroom and shut the door.

She was left standing outside, staring at the bathroom door.

Suddenly, she felt terribly helpless. Why was it that he simply refused to talk about certain things?

Was it so difficult to tell her the truth?

She took a deep breath and hung her head. Then she walked to the bed and sat down.

–

Shen Liangchuan was in the shower for more than half an hour.

The look on Qiao Lian’s face just then kept coming back to him.

He couldn’t face her.

About the matter from eight years ago…

He took a deep breath. Eventually, he wrapped the towel around his waist and walked out of the bathroom.
