Help The Villainess Trapped in the Beast World's Drama (by Lotus Seeds) novel Chapter 1051

Chapter 1051: Chapter 767: Eagle: Deep Love 100!

On the seventh morning, Lu Xiao woke up for the first time without an episode.

Sunlight trickled in through the entrance, a fine beam landing on his face.

He turned his head, looking at the female curled up in his arms, deeply asleep.

She had grown thinner.

Over the past seven days, she had hardly eaten well, lips cracked, dark circles under her eyes speaking of exhaustion. His marks were everywhere on her neck, collarbone, wrists; some fading, some freshly made just last night.

She stayed by him like this, passing through the cycles of awareness and immersion without a word of complaint.

Lu Xiao raised his broad and slender hand, gently touching her cheek.

So tenderly, as if handling a fragile treasure, or afraid of waking from a beautiful dream.

Shen Tang shifted slightly, burrowing deeper into his embrace, muttering something indistinctly.

Lu Xiao didn’t catch the words.

He lowered his head, pressing his lips to the top of her hair, shutting his eyes again, his heart filled with an aching sourness and gentle contentment, leaving no room for anything else.

Lu Xiao had never imagined a day would come when he’d show such a fallen state outside, and in front of his beloved female no less.

How to describe it? At that time, it felt as if he were brutally sliced open, a perfect shell shattered, exposing all the sordid filth before her.

He painfully closed his eyes, wishing he could end himself.

Yet, she accepted it all with gentleness, without a trace of disgust or disdain, standing by him unwaveringly.

She saw his ugliest side, calmly accepting his flaws.

Lu Xiao ought to feel immense shame, yet in that moment, he felt inexplicably light-hearted.

That feeling of being gently accepted from the outside in rendered him no longer needing to present a perfect facade before others.

He feared his flaws might be judged and rejected, an illegitimate child with an unclear identity, unworthy of inheriting the Lu Family, unworthy of standing in the Family Head’s place, even less so by the Monarch’s side.

Thus, he must always be on alert, to ensure no flaws could be found in his entire being, lest he lose the right to stand firmly in that position.

In front of Shen Tang, he’d always shown maturity and stability, yet deep within, a strand of unspeakable inferiority lingered.

Perhaps an echo of childhood wounds, spanning his entire life, demanding he compensate through stringent standards for that weak yet profound crack.

But now, he doesn’t need to anymore.

No matter his state, she would gently accept, never abandoning him.
