Chapter 410 - Why Didn’t You Come For Me?
Fang Zimo stilled, he looked at the figure in front of him and blinked his eyes, not believing what he was looking at, Lin Yan? What was he doing here? Was he that desperate that he was hallucinating? Yeah, this must have been his hallucination..how can Lin Yan be here? He must hate him for what. he did to him, right? So why will he save him? He was a fool to imagine such a thing. No matter how nice Lin Yan was he wasn't a saint, if he was in Lin Yan's shoes he too would have never forgiven what he did, so how can he expect Lin Yan to forgive him? Fang Zimo stood still watching Lin Yan point blankly, he watched Lin Yan get closer and closer to him but didn't move, he was certain that he was dreaming. Maybe he died and this was some sort of flashback before his death if that was the case then - Fang Zimo opened his lips, staring at his hallucination before he spoke " Brother Yan, I know that this is not real but I... I still want to apologise. I am sorry for what I did, actually, I was always waiting for you. I thought that one day you will return and get me out of there, I was stupid and naive, believing that you will be able to fight against that woman and save me from her clutches. But when you didn't come back I grew bitter, I understood in my heart that you couldn't save me, but I still blamed you. Blaming you was easy than accepting that I was abandoned by my own family, I know I can never repay you for what I did but …I am sorry " Fang Zimo bowed in front of his hallucinatory Lin Yan, feeling as if his throat was being stuffed with something. His heart was tired and all he wanted was to close his eyes and sleep forever. He was tired, so tired that even his heart and soul were burnt out, he felt utterly ashamed and embarrassed, all these years he has been blaming others yet did nothing to save himself, if only he had Lin Yan's courage and a loving family then he might have not landed in this predicament.
" Get up" his hallucinatory Lin Yan ordered looking at him calmly, not even a flicker of anger could be heard in his voice. Fang Zimo thought that his imagination was still running wild and he might receive a hug and Lin Yan's forgiveness but as soon as he stood up, Lin Yan raised his hand and-
SLAP
The sound of the crisp slap resounded in the clearing, Fang Zimo felt his eyes widen but before he could say anything another slap landed on his cheek, then another and another. Slaps kept falling on his cheeks, and soon his face swelled like a pig. He wanted to say something but was afraid to be slapped again. After a very long time the rain of the slaps stopped, and once it did Fang Zimo looked at the Lin Yan standing in front of him again " You .. you are real?"
" If not?" Lin Yan nursed his wrists, massaging them slightly " so you were thinking of doing this big joke of an apology before chucking yourself, right?"
" Second brother, you were right this Fang Zimo is really prideful, instead of apologising to you straight away he apologised thinking that you were his imagination" Lin Chen who was dressed up as a thug jested before taking the wet cloth handed by Lin Jing and wiping his makeup. Once the scary makeup was removed a bright face was revealed. Shocked Fang Zimo took another glance at Lin Chen's face, only then did he realise that this man had the same features as Lin Yan " You? You ..you are not .. you are not a slave trader?"
" What are you disappointed or something? What's with that tone?" Lin Chen was only nice to his brothers to others he has always been a little rascal, while talking to Lin Yan his tone was polite and filled with warmth. He was like a little brother waiting for his older brother to praise him but with Fang Zimo, Lin Chen didn't even bother to be polite much less cordial " Second brother, I told you... you were wasting your time by saving him. See he doesn't even care, looks like he was used to getting violated, what if he had a secret fetish and we interfered in his personal business?"
Fang Zimo didn't hear what Lin Chen was talking about, as his gaze returned on Lin Yan he felt as if something was breaking in his heart. Even his heart was brimming, Lin Yan had always been beautiful, so beautiful that he didn't even look like a mortal, but some Godly being. However today he was even more beautiful like a godly angel have descended on the earth.
" Brother Yan ?" Fang Zimo felt his eyes turn sour as something hot and aching grasped his heart " why? Why did you do this? I don't deserve your kindness, I - I schemed and I was the one who dragged you down so why?"
Lin Yan didn't say anything for a while and only looked at Fang Zimo, he stared at him for a very long time before he parted his lips to speak " yes you don't deserve my kindness, if possible I would have left you on your own fate but the night when you kidnapped me. I realised one thing, if you really wanted to take me to Luo Xin then why would you leave the unconscious Little Shi in such a conspicuous spot for someone to find him? And when my brother came to save me, you were clearly not hurt in the slightest but instead of catching me you let me go, You are right - Fang Zimo you don't deserve my kindness but my Zizi does"
Fang Zimo clenched his fists but couldn't stop the tears from falling, big fat tears trickled down his cheeks as he clutched Lin Yan's sleeves " Why didn't you come soon? Why did you leave me alone? I…I have been waiting for you brother Yan !"
