Bigshot's Sweetie Is a Cat!-Chapter 1311 - 1312: Nie Jiuque: Xiao’ai, Candy

"Second Brother..."

Wen Xiao’ai was stunned, incredulously looking at the Demon Lord standing there, his mask removed, revealing his true face.

Jun Moyan’s pupils contracted sharply twice, as if his airway was being choked, his heart painfully heavy.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment, and everything around fell into silence.

The wind blew, stirring the disordered long hair on Nie Jiuque’s forehead.

The blood on his chin still dripped onto the collar, drop by drop.

After an unknown length of time, the stiff Nie Jiuque moved slightly, very slowly lifted his head and looked at them.

Wen Xiao’ai stood rigidly in place, her mind blank.

Nie Jiuque slowly raised an arm and then opened his palm toward Wen Xiao’ai.

His blood-stained lips parted slightly, gently speaking: "...Xiao’ai, candy."

In the palm dyed red with blood, lay two lollipops, their wrappers stained with a layer of blood.

Wen Xiao’ai’s legs weakened, almost collapsing to the ground.

"Do you remember? One was given to me when you first went to the Jun Family after regaining human form as Wen Xiao’ai. You told me, this was your favorite treat."

"The other was given to me at Brother Gu’s wedding. I’ve kept it well and haven’t had the heart to eat it, even when Brother Gu asked for it, I didn’t give it..."

His blood-stained lips opened and closed, though not a long piece of dialogue, he spoke with all his might.

He smiled, tears flowing down with the blood on his face.

Wen Xiao’ai looked at him, her mind flashing images of Jun Wuchen, sitting quietly in a wheelchair, gentle and smiling like an immortal.

"...Why, why is it you?"

Wen Xiao’ai choked out.

What terrible sins had they committed for heaven to punish them so cruelly?

Nie Jiuque, Soul-suppressing Beast, Shang Ying.

Jun Wuchen, Jun Moyan, Wen Xiao’ai.

"Xiao’ai, I’m sorry..."

Jun Wuchen wanted to apologize to her; he shouldn’t have tampered with chocolate last time, almost causing her to lose control.

But he dared not speak, fearing she would be angry with him.

Yet he had no other choice at that time, unable to transform into a demon and only able to wrong her.

He was terribly afraid, watching her and Jun Moyan together day and night, inseparable, almost driving him insane.

"I’m sorry..."

Wen Xiao’ai shook her head, stepping back slowly, unable to accept such a destiny.

Tears flowed uncontrollably.

Nie Jiuque could have been reincarnated as anyone, but why as Second Brother, why as Jun Moyan’s second brother?

The one person in the Jun Family who was good to them, how could they...

Her wrist was grabbed, and the next moment, Wen Xiao’ai was taken away by Jun Moyan.

In the silent Ziqiong Forest, in the ruined space, Nie Jiuque stood motionless, arm extended, still in the gesture of offering candy.

But there was no one left to receive.

A wave of dizziness and Nie Jiuque fell backward.

A muffled "thump" startled the dust on the ground.

The two blood-stained candies fell from his hand, rolling to the ground, covered in sand and stones.

Nie Jiuque looked upwards, filled with purple hues, his vision gradually blurring and darkening...

You say you owe Ye Qi five hundred years of affection, and what about me?

Yingying, will you never wake up and look at me properly?

"Lord..."

Ye Yin struggled to rise, stumbling to Nie Jiuque’s side.

"Lord."

"Lord."

The Ziqiong Forest was left with chaos and sorrow...
