Realm of Mirrored Words

Yun Duo laid back on the bed and looked at the bruises on her wrist. She said weakly, "Tang Yi-Bai, you're too violent!" Tang Yi-Bai hugged her from behind — they were stuck together, skin to skin without any space at all between them. He said guiltily, "I'm sorry. Does it hurt?" She rolled her eyes softly, "What do you think?" The bruise was from Tang Yi-Bai's grip. When he had been so worked up that he couldn't control his strength, his hands had clenched too heavily, leaving traces on her hands. Of course, that wasn't the place which hurts the most... Yun Duo was a little indignant. It was both their first times, so why did the experience differ so much between men and women?! The discomfort of her body led to her bad mood, so her expression was grumpy. Tang Yi-Bai was very sympathetic. He kissed her and then got out of bed to find some ointment for her. After getting her the ointment, Yun Duo wanted a shower. So he car

Although Tang Yi-Bai was very moved, he did not forget to counsel Yun Duo. "Duoduo, don't really go and beat Lin Sang." "Why? You feel bad for her?" "No, I just don't want you to be dragged down by this matter as well. After all, deliberately injuring another person is a crime, even if the other party is a vegetable. Don't worry. A gentleman can even wait ten years for proper revenge. Even if the police can't find any evidence to arrest him, I'll remember this and there will be plenty of chances in the future to get payback. But no matter what, I don't want you to take the risk." "Fine. Don't worry, I was just scaring him anyway. It's all about attitude. Attitude, you understand?" He smiled and grazed her nose. "Understood." In the afternoon, the police called Tang Yi-Bai to apologise for what happened with Lin Zi. Even though Lin Zi was a major suspect... they just could not find any evidence.

Yun Duo jumped and let go of Tang Yi-Bai, looking up to see Lin Zi standing at the door. He had his arms crossed, looking at them evenly, his face as pale as a vampire's. Even seeing him right now, Yun Duo still felt terribly sad. She had trusted in him as a good friend, but he had just used her in return. The important thing was that he had been really nice to her before, even helping her to get out of a tough spot. She had been so moved then, but in the end, under the lovely outer coat was just a callous truth. Tang Yi-Bai frowned at Lin Zi. "How did you get out so quickly?" Lin Zi entered the room. "The police have no proof. They can at most hold me for 24 hours." As he said this, his eyes remained on Yun Duo. Yun Duo raised her head to meet his gaze. She saw that his expression was calm, his eyes cool and unruffled like a dry well. She watched as he walked over to stand before her. Yun Duo's eyes were red as she asked, "Lin Zi, have you been

In the following days, Tang Yi-Bai basically lived a life of being poked by needles and gulping down medicine. The area around his bone fracture was swollen but not painful — Grandpa Kang said that it was a sign that his bones were growing. They actually had a miraculous medicinal paste that could help speed up recovery tremendously, but given his status as a national athlete, they decided to err on the side of caution and wait till the fracture had settled and the plaster cast could be removed. Yun Duo faithfully carried out her duty of an 'on-site reporter', introducing Tang Yi-Bai's recovery progress. She took several photographs of him, finally selecting one of Tang Yi-Bai gazing out at the scenery by the lakeside to accompany the headline news. His hand was in a cast as he looked out at the surface of the water with eyes filled with yearning. That sense of loneliness made others really feel like giving him a hug. This edition of the newspaper was quickly sold out.

At the rehabilitation centre, Tang Yi-Bai and Yun Duo were living in a two-bedroom house with a living room. It was not much different than any other small residential house. Bright and early, Yun Duo got out of bed and walked out of her bedroom, only to see Tang Yi-Bai wandering around with just his boxers on. He had a great body which looked perfect from all angles, so he was completely unafraid of showing it off. As he walked, the movements of his long legs made his hips rise and fall, and caused his narrow waist to swing slightly from side to side. Yun Duo was almost struck by a nose bleed just watching him. She put a hand to her forehead in helpless resignation. "Aren't you... cold?" Tang Yi-Bai turned to look at her innocently. "No one helped me to put on my clothes." He stated it with an air of great righteousness. Yun Duo shook her head. "I must have owed you in a past life." As a career swimmer, Tang Yi-Bai did not think there was anyt
