Chapter 645 - You’re Not Allowed to Love Me (1/2)
Xiang Yu followed Nie Huang to the second floor in a bad mood. Even seeing that she didn't know which room to turn too couldn't cheer him up. He only walked up to her with a gloomy expression and extended his hand, pointing at the door to the room where Xin Lan was waiting. He didn't even bother to explain. Hmph. He'd like to see that fake dragon explain.
Nie Huang looked at Xiang Yu in a daze. How come this person knew where she was supposed to go? He wouldn't be here to meet this person she was supposed to come to see too, would he? She wanted to speak up but looking at his expression she felt that it was better not to say anything at all. In the end, she nodded and gave him a smile before hurrying away.
Xiang Yu pursed his lips. How stupid! Did she believe she was anything special to him? She wasn't, obviously. This guy would change his mind about who he loved like he changed his robes. If he tired of wearing one, he'd slip out of it and put on another. If there was a dirty spot or maybe even a hole somewhere in the fabric, he might even burn the robe to ashes! He was that type of guy! It really was too stupid to hope for anything from him.
Xiang Yu silently followed Nie Huang to the door. That fake dragon … he was a horrible person. Tian was right. He was no good. He wasn't worthy. He could find somebody much better than him.

He watched through a veil of tears how Nie Huang knocked on the door and opened it, stepping in with a pleasant smile.
”I was told to —” Her voice stopped and she froze before she had stepped completely inside. ”Bai … Bai Mu?”
Xiang Yu tilted his head. Bai Mu? Had he not even told her his real name? How pitiful … How … eye-opening. Maybe there was no man in all three thousand lower, middle, and higher realms that could be trusted. Maybe … that thing called 'love' didn't exist at all. Maybe … Tian was wrong for once and only blinded by his own illusion.
”Bai Mu.”
”Nie Huang.”
Steps sounded and finally, a strong pair of arms pulled Nie Huang against an equally broad chest.
Xiang Yu wanted to turn away when he glanced at the face of the man. Eh? No mask? That wasn't …
Bai Mu looked up when he felt someone staring at him. He froze when he saw those black eyes and the equally black mark between those brows. That was … ”Fallen … fallen god.”
”Fallen god?” Another voice sounded from the room and Xin Lan rushed to the door, looking at Xiang Yu incredulously. The fallen god he had searched for … had shown up on his doorstep on his own accord? ”You —”
