"See? He wants to die. In the end, they all do." He had experience with making people want to die, at least. Xue Yang watched how the man's hand was shaking, so much so he almost lost the knife. "Are you dumb?"

Xue Yang finally got up, rolling his eyes. "I want you to kill him, not draw it out. Come on, that's just cruel. How hard is it to stab someone?"

Apparently very.

"I-- I can't, not when he looks like that..." The man sounded snively and pathetic. Very off-putting.

With a sigh, Xue Yang reached for the duct tape and walked over to him, using it to blindfold him. Just one strip over his eyes. "There. Now hold the knife properly and I'll guide you."

He stepped behind him, head propped up on his shoulder as he looked at Meng Yao. "Hold still, xiao Yao, yeah? I'll make sure it's fast."
