Chapter 20: The Appearance of Cracks

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The flames were completely extinguished.

The entire tunnel was filled with boiling heat waves, oil, and the smell of burnt flesh.

Su Fan and Ai Wei could not help but frown when they smelled the smell.

“Let me do it.”

Ai Wei said in a distasteful manner and then waved her hand.

A large amount of frost quickly covered the entire tunnel. The tunnel, which had become scalding hot due to the flames, froze at that moment.

The snow-white frost emitted a cold air that covered the entire tunnel.

The heatwave that had been continuously coming at them earlier had completely disappeared.

It was as if the heat had instantly turned into winter.

“It’s done.”

After Ai Wei had done all this, she turned her head to look at Su Fan with a calm face, as if nothing had happened.

However, Su Fan looked at Ai Wei with a puzzled and surprised face. In Su Fan’s memory, Ai Wei’s strength should not be that strong, right?

If he had known that Ai Wei could freeze the entire tunnel in an instant, Su Fan would have definitely let Ai Wei freeze the tunnel before he made his move.

“What… what’s wrong?”

Ai Wei was shocked when she saw Su Fan like this.

She had been anxious when Su Fan was in danger and wanted to break the seal. Although she didn’t break the seal in the end, her strength had increased a lot.

When she had taken action just now, she hadn’t noticed and didn’t control her strength. As a result, her strength had exceeded her current level.

This made Ai Wei more or less nervous.

She did not want to reveal her true identity in front of Su Fan too early.

Originally, there was a natural barrier between her and Su Fan. If there was another layer of difference in strength, it would be troublesome.

Moreover, Ai Wei knew in her heart that she was actually deceiving Su Fan by doing this.

The taboo between lovers was lies, and her meeting with Su Fan from the very beginning was a lie.

Therefore, Ai Wei was very concerned about this matter. She wanted to explain everything to Su Fan, but she was afraid that if she revealed it, everything would turn into nothingness.

Because of this, Ai Wei had been hesitating and waiting. She wanted to wait for a suitable time to explain everything to Su Fan.

But who knew that she would be exposed here because of a little accident?

“Ai Wei, you…”

Su Fan looked at Ai Wei with a serious face, and his tone became more and more serious.

“I…”

Ai Wei listened to Su Fan’s serious tone and looked at his serious expression.

Her heart gradually sank to the bottom. She wanted to explain to Su Fan, but she didn’t know where to start?

‘What should I do? What should I do!’

If she were to confess now, Su Fan would definitely understand that everything that had happened to him during this time was her doing.

Would Su Fan really forgive her for so many things?

Ai Wei’s heart was filled with confusion and nervousness.

She had never thought that one day she would be so anxious and worried?

“Ai Wei, when did you become so strong?”

“Su Fan, I’m sorry!”

Both of them expressed their true thoughts at the same time.

However, at this moment, both of them fell into silence.

Su Fan looked at Ai Wei with a puzzled look.

“Ai Wei, what… happened to you?”

Su Fan couldn’t understand at all. Why did Ai Wei apologize to him?

Ai Wei had never done anything wrong to him.

But why would Ai Wei suddenly apologize to him now?

Three question marks appeared above Su Fan’s head, symbolizing how confused Su Fan was.

“I…”

Ai Wei wished she could find a pillar and smash her head into it. How could she be so stupid?

Even a clown in a circus would not be as stupid as her!

She should have persevered at that time. At least this way, she would not have fallen into such a passive situation.

Ai Wei did not know what had happened to her?

Now that she thought about it, many things showed that Su Fan did not doubt her.

However, she subconsciously thought that Su Fan was suspecting her and apologized directly to Su Fan.

Not only did this not allow her to get Su Fan’s understanding, but it also caused her to fall into an even more troublesome situation.

“Ai Wei, why are you apologizing to me?”

Su Fan looked at Ai Wei with a serious face.

Although Ai Wei was very friendly to him, she also had her dignity and pride.

She would never easily lower her head to others, even if the person was himself.

That was why Su Fan looked at Ai Wei so seriously because he had a premonition in his heart.

What happened to Ai Wei?

“I…”

In her heart, Ai Wei wanted to explain when Su Fan questioned her. But in the end, she did not say anything. She could only gently bite her full lips and remain silent.

Looking at Ai Wei like this, Su Fan did not know what to say?

He was starting to regret his actions this time.

If he had not come to this Goblin Cave, perhaps all of this would not have happened.

Then the two of them would still be as close and friendly as before.

But now, because of a small matter, there were cracks.

Su Fan did not like being lied to, but he could feel that Ai Wei was hiding something from him?

This made Su Fan very uncomfortable. He did not know how he should face Ai Wei?

The audience in the live broadcast room saw the awkward scene between the two of them and became anxious.

“If there’s anything, we can sit down and talk about it. Streamer, as a gentleman, I think you should show your grace.”

“Miss Ai Wei, don’t feel any psychological burden. If there’s anything, just say it. I believe that the streamer will definitely forgive you.”

“You guys are my favorite love streamers. Please don’t break up!”

Su Fan and Ai Wei fell into silence as they looked at the bullet chats of the audiences in the live broadcast room.

The two of them were thinking about how to start a conversation. How could they explain this matter clearly and maintain the relationship between the two of them?

However, this seemed to be an impossible thing to do because no matter what, one of them would be hurt in the end.

“Ai Wei.”

“Here!”

Ai Wei was like a student who was called out by the teacher in class. She looked up at Su Fan with a nervous expression.

Her silver-like eyes sparkled with a crystal-clear luster. Tears accumulated in Ai Wei’s eyes as if they would fall at the next moment.

Seeing Ai Wei in this state, the words that were already on the tip of his tongue could not be said.

“Sigh!”

In the end, Su Fan could only let out a long sigh and then shook his head. “Ai Wei, let’s go.”

After he said that, Su Fan pulled Ai Wei’s wrist and walked towards the last boss room..
