[BL, MTL] The Paranoid Villains in the Suspense Novel All Want to Monopolize Me

Chapter 19: Orphan's Resentment (18)

　　After that day, Ye Zhifeng began to think about what kind of thoughts he had towards Du Lin.

　　--His feelings for him... seem to have crossed the line.

　　Even if he stepped on the line and let the child go, he was not even like the arbitrary and ruthless person he used to be.

　　Such a change made Ye Zhifeng re-evaluate how he should face him.

　　--Such absurdity should be discontinued.

　　He never looked for Du Lin again, and his attitude toward Du Lin seemed to have cooled down.

　　Every night, the young housekeeper stood outside his study with medicinal wine in his hands, but he didn't get any response. He could only wait silently outside the door, with a somewhat lost look on his face.

　　Seeing the medicinal wine brewed by himself in his hands getting colder little by little, it was like the seemingly non-existent relationship between them... was also covered with a layer of frost.

　　Sir... will never trust him again.

　　It was his stupid drugging behavior that made Mr. unhappy... The originally gentle trust between them was destroyed by him.

　　At this moment, the young butler felt like he was in an ice cellar.

　　The gentleman didn't even give him a chance to explain.

　　I chose not to see him.

　　Miss him.

　　The medicine bowl in his hand fell to the ground and shattered.

　　The strong, blood-like medicinal wine seeped into the floor, leaving distinct scars in his heart.

　　Hearing the sound outside, the people in the room seemed to move.

　　After the figure of the young butler completely disappeared into the darkness around the corner, the door slowly opened.

　　Ye Zhifeng looked at the broken medicine bowl in silence.

　　The porcelain white fragments fell to the ground, and the dark wine liquid filled the gaps in the fragments one by one.

　　For some reason, Ye Zhifeng suddenly felt a strange itching and unbearable feeling in his heart.

　　He could almost imagine... the despair that the child was filled with when he stood outside the door and was rejected by him.

　　--Du Lin............

　　Ye Zhifeng bent down and picked up the fragments. There was an incomprehensible emotion in the slender eyebrows under the gold-rimmed lenses.

　　The fragments of the medicine bowl were very sharp, and there was a trace of blood on the fingertips, but Ye Zhifeng didn't seem to notice.

　　Ye Zhifeng was thinking... what kind of pain Du Lin felt when he strangled his neck.

　　How different is it from the wound on his fingertips that was scratched into tiny pieces by the fragments of the medicine bowl?

　　--But why should he pay so much attention to him?

　　--Why should you pay so much attention to the happiness, anger, sorrow and joy of a servant?

　　--Exception...Exception... Could it be that this inexplicably itching emotion really wanted him to become the prisoner of the housekeeper, and let a ridiculous exception crush his sanity?
