set fire to his heart

"So, the person who sent Si Qing to me back then, was it you... or her?"

When Shen Shili's voice fell.

There was a bitter smile on Mia's lips.

She looked up at him incredulously.

Mia didn't speak, but her eyes could see the complicated emotions deep in her eyes even in the dark.

"..." Shen Shili was speechless for a moment.

He suddenly realized how stupid his question was.

That was the child she gave birth to in October of her pregnancy. If she didn't plan to have him, she could choose to have him surgically removed from the beginning.

Why take the risk of giving birth to him and then send him to his side?

Revenge on him?torture him?
She didn't have these thoughts at all, and she wouldn't treat him like this.

Thinking of him treating a gentleman's belly with a villain's heart, Shen Shili couldn't help biting his lips.

An indescribable feeling in his heart.

Although Mia did not speak, the smile on her lips already reflected her feelings at this time.

really.

He kept saying that he believed her.

But in fact, he was still testing her, wanting to confirm something with her.

Mia looked away.

Her body moved slightly to the side, keeping a certain distance from Shen Shili.

Feel her attitude.

Shen Shili clasped his hands slightly.

He tightened his jawline and asked her, "Why is the child with her?"

See him mention the past.

Mia leaned sideways to the other column.

The coming of memories made her mood change quietly.

Shen Shili turned around, staring at her seriously, expecting her answer, waiting quietly.

After taking a deep breath, she said:

"On the night I lost my child, there was an accident in the institute. Someone maliciously set fire to it and caused an explosion. When I rushed into the flames, I couldn't find him."

Mia told the truth.

Now, when she mentions these things again, her tone is so calm and indifferent.

When she has survived those painful times, she has come out completely, and she is sure that the child is safe and sound, and she has been able to talk about the past that made her heartbroken.

It was so calm that it seemed to be a story that had nothing to do with her.

however.

Her plain narration resulted in Shen Shili's inner turmoil.

Arson, explosion, flames.

When these words are combined together, it is associated with her unrecognizable face and the subtle red marks all over her body...

It was not difficult for Shen Shili to imagine what she had experienced.

And that tormented time was packaged by her as eating, drinking and having fun outside, confusing their sight.

I don't know.

She at that time.

Both physically and mentally, they are suffering unprecedented torment.

Disheartened, hopeless.

But she still came out, and even transformed into what she is now.

In Shen Shili's heart, complicated emotions grew.

His vision became blurred, and wet steam rushed towards his eye sockets, gushed out with a force he couldn't control, and landed on the skirt of his clothes.

The sound of water droplets hitting the fabric is extremely soft.

But in the quiet atmosphere of the moment, it can still be heard clearly.

Besides.

And his swallowing with difficulty.

"Sorry……"

Shen Shili choked with sobs, and he sincerely apologized to Mia: "I'm such an asshole, it's all my fault for letting you go through those painful experiences..."

His sincere apology to her made every word tremble slightly.

Shen Shili's tone was extremely sincere, and the words he confided revealed his full remorse and self-blame.

however.

His performance, in exchange for Mia's calmness.

She was draped in a blanket, leaning against the column, and looked ahead indifferently.

"The child is fine."

She still maintained a calm tone, without any emotional ups and downs: "Nothing else matters."

"important!"

Shen Shili was a little agitated, and his eyes looked at Mia firmly: "How can it be unimportant? You..."

"unimportant."

Mia interrupted him and emphasized: "It's all in the past, and I can't make up for it or change it. That's my own choice, and it has nothing to do with other people. As for other things..."

She tugged on the blanket with both hands, exerting force involuntarily.

"Wait until I figure out the truth, if they conspired to make a joint calculation, I will definitely not let them go!"

The "them" in Mia's mouth naturally refers to Song Xiya and Louis.

Feel her hostility.

Shen Shili frowned, and asked her: "You mean, the two of them have colluded long ago and joined forces to harm you?"

After the words fell, Shen Shili murmured displeasedly: "I know that guy has no good intentions..."

The guy he was referring to was naturally Louis.

After all, it has always been.

He treats him like a rival.

only.

Shen Shili's complaints did not get Mia's response.

For Louis.

The time she spent with him, she knew much more about him than he did.

Once upon a time, she did have a prejudice against Louie.

But those solidified thoughts have been eliminated in the past few years, and she has already regarded him as a real family member.

However, she didn't expect it either.

Louis actually betrayed her because of that Song Xiya.

This also made her even more eager to understand the truth, what made her have such great magic power, and was able to turn the tide so hard.

Is it because they have united long ago, or... is there another secret?
Mia thought in her heart, but she didn't say anything to Shen Shili.

Feel her attitude.

Shen Shili raised his eyes in frustration, looked at Mia, and asked, "You still don't want to believe me, do you?"

"Are you worthy of my trust?"

Mia hit the nail on the head, and gave him a sideways glance.

"Looking back at the past, what have you done to me? Why should I believe that you would suddenly change from the licking dog by her side to become my ally in just a few days?"

Her words were straightforward and poignant.

"What's more, I don't need you to do anything for me." Mia said to him, "I will stay here until I figure out what happened before."

Say it.

Mia looked away.

She leaned against the column, closed her eyes and stopped talking.

She expressed her attitude by being silent and keeping her mouth shut.

And Shen Shili hesitated to speak several times in the dark.

He wanted to refute and clarify for himself, but he couldn't utter a single word of the words that poured into his throat.

She was absolutely right.

Thinking about the past days, his distrust of her, the harm he caused her...

What did he do to make her believe in him, and what made her willing to fight side by side with him?

Her rejection and distrust of him.

Everything is his own fault, and it is the price he should pay for what he has done.

Each time, he thought he was doing the right thing.

But he actually hurt her time and time again.

He clearly wanted to get closer, but he pushed her further and further away...

realize here.

Shen Shili's lips curled into a self-deprecating wry smile.

Eventually, he stopped talking.

He just sat beside Mia and stayed up all night without saying a word.
