Chapter 147: Another Timeline (Bonus Chapter For Gu Gu, Who Brings Hope)
A basement, restraints, a knife, the first time drinking orange juice…
Su Tao felt she would never forget this scene, even if she died.
At that time, she had thought Chi Xiaocheng wanted to knife her, but then came a shocking twist.
Chi Xiaocheng actually confessed her feelings to her!
A childhood friend, a sister, a best friend, who grew up with her, had secretly loved her for over a decade?
After that, she revealed a hidden yandere personality, throwing Su Tao’s peaceful life into disarray.
More than once, Su Tao wondered what her life would be like if Chi Xiaocheng wasn’t a yandere.
Would she not have to constantly bear this heavy love?
“Another dream like this, is it telling me that the ending can only be that one?”
Xiaocheng had knifed everyone.
For her sake.
However, to Su Tao’s surprise, when Chi Xiaocheng sat on the bed, she didn’t confess her feelings with bloodshot eyes as she had last time.
Instead, she raised the knife, tears streaming down her face, and savagely stabbed the face of the dream-Su Tao.
Su Tao watched this scene in disbelief, her pupils contracting.
Xiaocheng, doesn’t she like me?
Doesn’t she hate Ye Liang?
Why would she hurt the dream version of me now, using a knife to slice my face? Does she want to kill me?
If that’s the case, why is she crying so painfully?
The knife left marks on her face, and the dream-Su Tao, bound to the bed, screamed and struggled in pain.
However, Chi Xiaocheng not only didn’t stop, but escalated her actions.
She sliced up her face, then stabbed her chest.
Yet the tears she shed and the pain on her face were no less than that of the dream-Su Tao.
Su Tao herself drew much closer, and heard Chi Xiaocheng continuously murmuring.
“Ye Liang likes your face. If I disfigure your face, he definitely won’t pester you anymore.”
“As long as you become ugly, he will definitely give up.”
“This way, you won’t get hurt because of Ye Liang.”
“I’m sorry, Tao Tao. No matter what you become in the future, I will always be by your side.”
“I’m sorry… I’m sorry… I’m sorry… I’m sorry…”
The painful murmuring from her lips made Su Tao recall the content of the previous dream.
Chi Xiaocheng had a strange dream, believing that Ye Liang would definitely harm her, and so she used various methods to obstruct him.
In this basement, this time she didn’t reveal her feelings as she had before.
Nor did she become a yandere.
Instead, she acted on her own, using her own methods, somewhat clumsily, yet not daring to tell her.
This was a different ending from the last dream!
Su Tao immediately realized this, but then began to fear what would happen next.
What would become of Chi Xiaocheng, who treated her this way?
Before long, Ye Liang’s bodyguard, the man in the suit, arrived first.
He roughly pushed Chi Xiaocheng aside, saving Su Tao while also allowing Chi Xiaocheng to escape through a secret door.
What happened after that?
Ye Liang arrived, as angry with Chi Xiaocheng as ever. But unlike reality, in the dream, her face was already disfigured, and she had fainted from the pain.
In the blink of an eye, the dream moved to the moment of waking.
Ye Liang spoke of many bad things Chi Xiaocheng had done, vowing to avenge her and teach Chi Xiaocheng a lesson.
In the dream, she hesitated. She still believed that Chi Xiaocheng could be saved.
Perhaps this time, it was just a deeper misunderstanding.
But after months of unspoken issues following the quarrel, and Ye Liang’s repeated urgings, the dream version of her didn’t know what to do, only asking Ye Liang not to harm Chi Xiaocheng for now.
Ye Liang was very obedient, telling her various things about Chi Xiaocheng, claiming he had only temporarily appeased Chi Xiaocheng and hadn’t done anything to her.
But Su Tao herself, as an observer, was with Chi Xiaocheng, and it was nothing like what Ye Liang claimed.
To escape the pursuit of Ye Liang’s underlings, Chi Xiaocheng had nowhere to go home to. She either hid in a simple, dilapidated, uninhabited hut or under a bridge.
But how could an ordinary person like her escape Ye Liang, who had eyes and ears everywhere?
Surveillance cameras were everywhere, and people were searching all over.
Chi Xiaocheng used a knife to disfigure her own face to evade capture, and then hid by day and moved by night. She could do nothing but try every possible way to get into the hospital just one more time.
To see Su Tao, who had already woken up.
And tell Su Tao that Ye Liang was very dangerous.
Could a person truly be so persistent because of a dream?
If it weren’t for Chi Xiaocheng’s meddling, if it weren’t for seeing Ye Liang’s true nature in the snow, Su Tao would never have imagined Ye Liang to be such a person.
Just as now, she followed Ye Liang as an observer.
Just as Chi Xiaocheng had said, her face was ruined, and without her looks, she was nothing but an ugly duckling.
Ye Liang’s conversations with others clearly showed he no longer liked her, but because of the existence of her father abroad, Ye Liang still kept his attention on her.
He put on an act of liking her.
And while she was hospitalized, he continuously slandered Chi Xiaocheng.
He forged various proofs that Chi Xiaocheng “hated” her, Su Tao.
Gradually, the dream-Su Tao began to wake up.
Outside the dream, Su Tao, the observer, couldn’t believe that if Chi Xiaocheng hadn’t become a yandere, such a development could actually unfold.
“I would abandon Xiaocheng because of Ye Liang?”
“That’s absolutely impossible, right?”
Su Tao murmured, asking the dream version of herself.
More like asking her present self.
Then, she fell silent.
Now that she faced the already yandere Xiaocheng, was that considered giving up?
She thought in silence, but the dream didn’t break.
After much effort, Chi Xiaocheng was covered in injuries. Without Su Tao and constantly being hunted by Ye Liang, her days were like those of a stray dog by the roadside.
Anyone could kick her.
But she didn’t give up.
She wanted to see her Tao Tao.
She wanted to apologize for disfiguring her face.
She wanted to tell Tao Tao that Ye Liang was truly dangerous.
From Su Tao’s perspective, observing like a god, Ye Liang was undoubtedly a despicable person. He approached her because of her looks, and when her face was disfigured, he wanted to abandon her.
After discovering that her father abroad held some power, he put on a loving smile again, acting one way in front of others and another way behind their backs.
In the dream, she had been in the hospital the entire time, utterly unable to contact Chi Xiaocheng. All her information came from Ye Liang, and she rarely even saw Dongfang Yang.
Finally, after relentless effort, Chi Xiaocheng found an opportunity to sneak into the hospital through a filthy sewer.
But she was, after all, not the protagonist.
Rather, she was cannon fodder, destined to meet death.
She was a character whose purpose was to pave the way for Su Tao and advance the plot.
She was a chess piece in the hands of the world’s will.
Entering the hospital, searching for Su Tao’s ward, filled with urgency and hope, she was caught by Ye Liang just like that.
Intimidation, threats, inducement.
Ye Liang gave Chi Xiaocheng a chance to see Su Tao, but warned that if she dared to say anything amiss, he would stop Su Tao’s treatment, or even kill Su Tao!
Chi Xiaocheng was just an ordinary person. Being able to escape Ye Liang’s pursuit and cling to life until now was already her limit.
She was truly afraid.
Afraid that Ye Liang would kill Su Tao.
Afraid that Su Tao would truly end up with Ye Liang without understanding.
Afraid that Su Tao… would hate her.
And this was the only, and possibly the last, meeting.
