As Lan Rui spoke, there was a faint trace of melancholy in his voice.
Ou Lan turned her head to look at him, and happened to see the scar on his cheek. With the special training she underwent, she could instantly recognize it as a knife scar.
This scar was quite menacing, making it especially conspicuous on his originally handsome face.
The scar proved that everything he just said was true—his survival was genuinely challenging. This scar bore the hardships of time and harbored the ruthlessness of life.
Lan Rui also turned his head to look at her. As their eyes met, Ou Lan saw glimmers of tears in his eyes. Despite being a devilish man, he still had vulnerable spots in his heart.
"Lanlan, in others' eyes, I am a demon, cold and ruthless. But I have weaknesses too, and my weakness is you. In this world, if anyone can hurt me, it might only be physical. But you can easily wound my heart."
