The book-crossing case happened! The villains all want me to go to jail

Su Yi slowly woke up from his deep sleep, feeling sharp pain in every bone and muscle of his body, as if he had been severely crushed by an extremely heavy truck and dragged back and forth several times.

He tried hard to move his body, but it seemed as if a huge weight was pressing on him, making it difficult for him to move at all.

At this moment, a pungent smell entered his nostrils. This smell was a mixture of the rotten smell of old wood, the musty smell of damp soil, and a faint smell of blood.

This was not the first time he had smelled this strange smell. Having lived here for a long time, he was already accustomed to it. However, at this moment the smell seemed stronger than before, causing him to wrinkle his nose.

Then, a sharp and rhythmic sound of sharpening a knife came into his ears.

He turned his head with difficulty and looked in the direction where the sound came from. He saw Xie Xuan standing in the corner of the kitchen, his expression focused and cold, as if the whole world was left with only the knife in his hand and the whetstone in front of him.

Xie Xuan'an narrowed his eyes slightly, pursed his lips tightly, and beads of sweat oozed out of his forehead, but he had no time to wipe them off.

He held the knife handle firmly with both hands, and pushed it back and forth on the whetstone regularly, his movements were skillful and powerful. The knife in his hand flashed a cold light with every friction.

Su Yi looked at Xie Xuan'an sharpening the knife, and couldn't help feeling a little nervous and scared.

He didn't understand why Xie Xuan'an looked so serious while sharpening the knife today, as if he was not preparing ordinary dining utensils, but preparing for an unknown and fierce battle.

It was time for dinner, and the three of them sat around the dining table. The food Xie Xuan'an cooked smelled delicious, and although Su Yi still had some doubts in his heart, he couldn't help but eat the delicious food in front of him.

"This dish is so delicious!" Su Yi praised while eating, "Xuan, who did you learn this cooking skill from?"

Xie Xuanan responded calmly: "I learned it by myself."

Su Yi watched Xie Xuan'an's smooth movements when cutting vegetables. The sharp kitchen knife seemed to have life in his hands. Every cut was extremely precise, and the cut ingredients were uniform in size and regular in shape.

"Your sword skills are so powerful, who did you learn from?" Su Yi asked curiously.

Xie Xuan'an still said expressionlessly: "I learned it by myself."

After hearing this, Su Yi smiled foolishly, and the fear in his heart increased a little, but he still pretended to be calm and continued to eat.

After they finished their meal, Xie Xuan was at the table, clearing the dishes in an orderly manner. Xie Ran yawned and muttered:

"I haven't slept enough. I need to go to sleep for a while." After saying that, he turned and went back to his room. Soon, his even breathing could be heard in the room.

Su Yi offered to clean the place, and Xie Xuan nodded in agreement. While cleaning, Su Yi observed Xie Xuan from time to time.

Xie Xuan'an cleared the table and washed the dishes with precise and powerful movements, like a professional waiter, without any unnecessary movements.

The room was not big, and Su Yi quickly cleaned up to his bedroom. As soon as he entered the bedroom, the smell here was completely different from the living room, and the odor was even stronger. He quickly opened the window, trying to let in fresh air to dispel the uncomfortable smell.

At this time, Xie Xuanan came over, handed him a bag of aromatherapy, and said, "If this room smells, you can put some of this to get rid of the smell. Or if you feel uncomfortable, you can change beds with Xie Ran. We can change beds."

Su Yi shook his head and said:

"No, if I want to live, I'd rather live with you. Xie Ran would quarrel and fight with me from time to time, and I don't want to live with him." Xie Xuan'an smiled and said he was going to buy groceries.

Su Yi also nodded.

After Xie Xuanan went out to buy groceries, Su Yi continued to clean. When she cleaned Xie Xuanan's room, Xie Ran was still sleeping soundly.

The room was extremely simple, with very few items and almost no decorations, as if it had been deliberately cleaned by someone.

Su Yi was just about to wipe the dust off the cabinet door, but accidentally opened the cabinet.

In the corner of the closet, he found an old notebook. He was curious and was about to reach out to take a look when he heard the sound of Xie Xuan'an coming back and opening the door.

He quickly retracted his hand, quickly closed the cabinet door, and then continued to wipe the cabinet door as if nothing had happened.

After Xie Xuan'an came in, he didn't seem to notice Su Yi's abnormality and began to prepare dinner.

But Su Yi was always thinking about the notebook and seemed absent-minded while helping. He either put salt in instead of sugar or accidentally broke the bowl.

Xie Xuanan finally couldn't help but frowned, his eyes showing dissatisfaction:

"Su Yi, what's wrong with you today? You look absent-minded."

Su Yi smiled awkwardly and stammered, "Nothing... nothing, maybe I'm a little tired."

Xie Xuan'an looked at him suspiciously, didn't ask any more questions, and continued to busy himself with dinner.

Su Yi tried to calm down, but he found that Xie Xuan'an always looked at him intentionally or unintentionally, with a scrutinizing look in his eyes. During dinner, the atmosphere was unusually dull. Su Yi wanted to say something several times, but finally couldn't help but speak.

"Xuan, um... when I was cleaning today, I saw a notebook in the closet of your room. What is that?"

Xie Xuan'an paused with his chopsticks in his hand and said calmly: "Nothing, just some old notes, nothing important."

Su Yi felt more and more puzzled, but he didn't dare to ask any more questions.

At night, Su Yi tossed and turned in bed and couldn't fall asleep. He thought about Xie Xuan'an's reaction during the day and became more and more curious about the contents of the book.

Finally, he decided to check the book again while Xie Xuan'an was sleeping. He quietly opened the door and came to Xie Xuan'an's room.

With the faint moonlight, he opened the wardrobe, only to find that the notebook was missing.

Su Yi's heart sank suddenly. He searched everywhere in the room, but still could not find the notebook.

Just as he was about to leave, Xie Xuan'an's cold voice suddenly came from behind him:

"What are you doing?" Su Yi was startled and turned around to see Xie Xuan'an standing behind him.

"I..." Su Yi stammered. Before he could finish, Xie Xuan'an suddenly pulled his arm hard, and Su Yi staggered.

"Can you please stop doing this?"

"Stop being curious." Xie Xuan'an held Su Yi tightly, making him feel extremely painful. Xie Xuan'an's face showed disappointment and uneasiness.

Su Yi also suddenly realized how offensive his behavior was. Isn't it normal for everyone to have their own privacy? Why did he keep holding on to it and even peek?

"I'm sorry, Xu'an, I was wrong."

Xie Xuan'an's eyes turned red and were filled with tears. Su Yi wiped them hastily. He was so flustered that he didn't know what to do.

"What's wrong with you? Xu'an, don't cry. It's my fault. I won't do this again next time. No, no, no, there won't be a next time."

Xie Xuan'an couldn't stop crying, and said in a trembling voice: "Su Yi, do you know? I have always regarded you as my most trusted brother, but you did this, which really makes me sad."

Su Yi was filled with guilt, hugged Xie Xuan'an tightly and said, "Xu'an, I really know I was wrong, and I will never do this again."

At this moment, there was a sudden thunder and lightning outside, and heavy rain poured down. Xie Xuan'an's body trembled uncontrollably, and his face turned pale.

Su Yi asked worriedly: "Xuan, what's wrong with you?"

Xie Xuan'an said with trembling teeth: "I have been particularly afraid of this kind of thunderstorm since I was a child. I feel that every lightning and every thunder can swallow me up. Su Yi, I only feel at ease when I am with you."

Su Yi looked at Xie Xuan'an's pitiful appearance, and her heart softened as she said, "Why don't you sleep here with me tonight?"

Unexpectedly, Xie Xuan'an agreed.

The two of them were lying on the bed, and Xie Xuan'an was still shaking. Xie Xuan'an took the initiative to approach Su Yi. Su Yi hesitated for a moment, but still hugged him and comforted him: "Don't be afraid, I'm here, I will always be with you."

In this cold and strange-smelling room, the atmosphere seemed to have changed because of Xie Xuan'an's arrival, and Su Yi even felt a little warmer. Looking at Xie Xuan'an in his arms, Su Yi's heart beat faster involuntarily, and his face flushed slightly.

Xie Xuanan began to speak his heart out to Su Yi: "Su Yi, to be honest, sometimes I feel like if you were no longer in this world, I wouldn't know what to do. You are like my spiritual pillar, supporting me to keep going."

Su Yi was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes and said, "Xuan, me too. No matter what happens, I am willing to face it with you and will never leave you."

Xie Xuan'an's tears burst out like a dam, and Su Yi was in a hurry to wipe his tears.

Unexpectedly, Xie Xuan'an also took the initiative to wipe Su Yi's tears. Su Yi's face turned red instantly, and she felt flustered and a little embarrassed.

Xie Xuan'an didn't seem to notice Su Yi's abnormality and continued to talk about his own thoughts.

"Su Yi, do you know? Every time I see you smile, my heart feels as sweet as a flower; every time you are sad, I feel worse than you. I really hope you can always be happy."

After a while, Xie Xuan'an's mood gradually stabilized, and he suddenly sat up. Su Yi looked puzzled. Xie Xuan'an walked to his room and took back the familiar notebook.

Su Yi recognized at a glance that it was the notebook he had always been curious about.

Xie Xuanan returned to the bed and said, "Su Yi, I don't want you to feel uncomfortable about this book anymore. Just read it if you want."

Su Yi said hesitantly: "If you don't want me to see it, don't force me. I won't think about it anymore."

However, Xie Xuan'an forcefully spread out the notebook in front of Su Yi. Su Yi said, "I won't look at it, I won't look at it, I really won't look at it," but still couldn't help but take a few glances at it.

In the darkness, Su Yi could vaguely see that the notebook contained some very immature quotations. The handwriting was blurry and it looked like it was written several years ago.

for example:

"I am the God of Darkness, and the bloody red spider lily is my symbol."

"Gods, demons, I will defeat them all with my extraordinary power."

When Su Yi turned around and looked at Xie Xuan'an again, he found that Xie Xuan'an's face was already red.

Xie Xuan turned his head away and said, "Are you satisfied now? It contains my dark history, so I don't want you to read it."

Su Yi swallowed and said guiltily: "I'm sorry, Xu'an. I'm sorry to embarrass you. I really didn't mean anything else."

Xie Xuanan looked at him shamefully and said, "Go to sleep."

When he lay down on the bed again, Su Yi felt a sense of reality. It was such a magical experience.

While thinking about it, she unconsciously tried to hug him, and Xie Xuan'an did not refuse.

Su Yi's heart was pounding. The two of them were so close to each other, as if they had never been so close before.

On this stormy night, the distance between the two hearts is getting closer and closer.
