Chapter 189 Liking And Possessiveness

"If there's a next life, if there's a reincarnation, if I could do it all again, Xiao Cheng… I definitely, wouldn't let go!"

The statement, even more weighty than a confession, surprised Chi Xiaocheng.

But she was happy.

That's right, Tao Tao.

Take my hand.

Be possessive of me.

I'll never hate that kind of love from you.

Because I've always felt the same way you do now, wanting to possess you, wanting to keep you by my side forever, wanting you to like only me.

It's just that too much coercion is really hard to turn into affection.

However… she really didn't plan to add pressure at this moment.

The dream was essentially meant to relieve Su Tao's stress, and the words Chi Xiaocheng had just spoken were also heartfelt.

—I hope you can live a happy life.

Even if it means forgetting me, it doesn't matter.

When I wake up, I'll still go find you.

At least forget me during the time I'm dead or asleep; I won't resent you.

But how difficult is it to forget someone?

This moment of possession is limited to this instant.

Su Tao sniffled and said very seriously, "Xiao Cheng, I promise you."

Chi Xiaocheng tilted her head slightly, "What?"

"I promise you that I will live well from now on, live a normal life, won't mistreat myself, and won't worry you."

"But!"

She raised her voice, emphasizing the word, "I won't forget you, never!"

Chi Xiaocheng's expression became hesitant, "But, wouldn't that make Tao Tao continue to suffer?"

"For you, I'm willing!"

This was no longer pressure she was giving.

It was Su Tao putting pressure on herself.

Xiao Cheng is already dead. How could the mental pain her departure brought compare to the pain of the bullet when she pushed me away?

She had already left me.

But she would still meet me in dreams like this!

If there's another dream, she didn't want to escape reality and indulge in it like today.

But to be able to enjoy such dreams with peace of mind.

Chi Xiaocheng tiptoed, the tips of her shoes lightly twisting against the floor of the compartment, "Why do you have to go this far?"

Su Tao took a deep breath, looking at Chi Xiaocheng with deep affection and seriousness.

She opened her mouth, as if shouting with all her might.

—Because, I like you!

She mustered her strength, her mouth moving slightly with the expression on her face.

But the sound didn't reach Chi Xiaocheng's ears through the air.

Even Su Tao herself clearly felt that at the moment of the confession, she had lost her voice.

It wasn't an accident, but this dream was already at its limit.

The surrounding scenery had long shattered into pieces. It wasn't even clear if the Ferris wheel was still turning. The compartment seemed to have been stationary in the air for a long time.

The wind had stopped, and the moon hadn't come out after the sun had set.

The time in this world seemed to have stopped long ago.

Her confession had failed once again.

But…

"I know, Tao Tao."

Chi Xiaocheng tilted her head, smiling happily.

Even though you couldn't say it, I know.

At this moment, you like me.

But in the end, I'm still a little reluctant.

Even knowing that I'll be resurrected in twenty-odd days.

Even knowing that I can meet and recognize Su Tao again at that time.

But…

Twenty days is too long.

"Tao Tao!"

Chi Xiaocheng shouted loudly, "When you and I meet again someday, and you like me, then give me a proper confession!"

I, for sure, will agree.

The voice was small, but it still barely reached Su Tao's ears.

She wanted to step forward and reach out, but the compartment shook, and Su Tao immediately felt the floor beneath her feet disintegrating.

And the girl with beautiful tea-colored long hair, wearing a happy smile, was turning into starlight and disappearing.

No matter what promises were made, no matter what topics were discussed.

The deepest emotions turned into bubbles at this moment.

Only reluctance remained in the heart.

Dreams must always end.

As Chi Xiaocheng turned into faint starlight and left, the compartment disintegrated, and Su Tao looked through the sky towards the top of the Ferris wheel.

She suddenly remembered that she had heard the legend of the Ferris wheel.

First, the legend that couples who reach the top and kiss can obtain eternal happiness.

But there was also another legend.

Couples who ride the Ferris wheel together will eventually end up breaking up and saying goodbye forever.

Because their happiness has been permanently sealed in this small compartment.

And the Ferris wheel, after reaching its peak, will return to the starting point.

When she reached the top, she couldn't confess to Chi Xiaocheng, couldn't kiss her, and didn't have the blessing of the sunset.

So, which ending and legend would belong to her?

It turned out that the ending of this dream was already predetermined at the beginning.

The starlight dissipated.

The dream also shattered.

Opening her eyes again, the morning sun had penetrated the window and was shining in a corner of the room.

Last night's heavy snow had stopped, and today's morning sun was the hottest and warmest of the entire winter.

It was as if it represented… rebirth.

Su Tao didn't have the slightest bit of drowsiness; she just reached out and touched the corner of her eye blankly.

The tears she had shed hadn't dried yet.

Besides the big brown bear, she also held a calico cat and a small scarecrow in her arms.

Dawang was very attached to this scarecrow and had sneaked it over at night.

The seemingly lifeless eyes of the scarecrow were now gradually turning gentle.

"Xiao Cheng…"

Su Tao hugged Dawang and the scarecrow tightly.

The faint warmth it conveyed was like hugging the person she longed for.

"I'll never live such a muddled life again."

I want to live for you, and for myself!

After lingering in bed for the last five minutes, Su Tao lifted the quilt and took a long breath.

"Get up!"

Her brand-new day had begun.

Turning to walk towards the closet, the well-behaved scarecrow placed on the bed secretly took out the status glasses again.

[Su Tao]

[Height: 166]

[Weight: 95]

[Bust: C]

[Current Status: Hungry, Medium Stress, Poor Spirit, Haggard, Weak Body, Self-blame]

[Ordinary Favorability towards Host: 99 (She completely regards you as the most important person in her life, even if you have left, she will still live for you)]

[Romantic Favorability towards Host: 56→63 (She violently believes that caring and enjoyment for you is liking, even though there is still a gender concept, but your passing makes her subconsciously ignore this point, past memories are the reason she likes you)]

[Possessive Favorability towards Host: 27→60 (Even if everyone forgets you, she will keep you in her heart, your existence in this world will never be erased, her regret for your departure has reached the extreme, if she could do it again, if others still want to take you away, she will possess you without mercy.)]

[(Even if the object who wants to take you away is this world)]
