Chapter 283 The Thrown Away Item Wasn'T A Suicide Note, But Love
The Thrown Away Item Wasn'T A Suicide Note, But Love
The edges of the handwriting swam into Fang Ning’s vision, piquing her curiosity.
She glanced at Su Tao and Chi Xiaocheng’s rooms, and seeing that both doors were closed, she picked up the suicide note.
Having suffered at Su Tao’s hands, the paper was old and torn, with several tiny holes obscuring small parts of the contents.
But having spent two days in Chi Xiaocheng’s room, Fang Ning immediately recognized Chi Xiaocheng's handwriting.
What caught her eye was the opening line, brimming with “ultimate love.”
—To my most, most, most favorite Tao Tao.
The irreplaceable nature of the three "mosts," the familiar tone and form of address, all stirred small memories within Fang Ning.
She had more information than Su Tao. Chi Xiaocheng had complained to her a lot about Su Tao, saying that she was too straightforward, difficult to win over, and always made people feel helpless and frustrated.
But no matter how explosive the emotions, no matter how unhappy she seemed, she could never separate herself from the deep and loving "Tao Tao."
The suicide note wasn't long.
But Fang Ning read it slowly.
As if to experience every emotion in it, word by word.
And in her eyes, it wasn't so much a suicide note as a love letter filled with reluctance and hope.
A confession to the person she loved.
Even with a broken heart, she still wanted to cling to that person.
The suicide note wasn't meant to declare a farewell, but another kind of love she wanted to say aloud.
"So, before Xiaocheng sister died, she had once tried to take her own life..."
Fang Ning’s gaze gradually grew heavy. She knew that Chi Xiaocheng liked Su Tao very much and was devoted to her.
But she had never really understood the story between them.
Chi Xiaocheng didn't actively talk about it, and she wouldn't actively ask.
But if a person died twice, the first time even choosing to end their life by hanging, just to tell their heavy love to another person...
Even so, Su Tao sister still doesn't like Xiaocheng sister?
Or rather, what does she think of Xiaocheng sister?
Her mind slowly turning, Fang Ning sat motionless on the sofa like a piece of wood.
Even as the fingertips holding the suicide note turned icy and flushed red, she felt nothing.
Until the sound of a door opening rang out.
Only then did she look up and see another girl walking out of the room.
Their eyes met, and Su Tao asked, somewhat blankly or rather, incomprehensibly, "What are you looking at?"
Fang Ning looked down at the suicide note in her hand, "Looking at what you threw away."
"I..."
Su Tao was about to retort loudly when Fang Ning put a finger to her lips, "Shhh~!"
She pointed to the balcony door, "Shall we talk outside? Or even outside the building? Don't wake Xiaocheng sister, she might be napping."
Su Tao bit her lip, hiding the aggressiveness in her eyes, and walked toward the balcony first.
Fang Ning took the suicide note and stood up as well.
Only, her eyes seemed to lack a bit of the humility she had shown just now.
When they were both on the balcony, the cold breeze blew their hair, and the sliding door was closed to soundproof the area, Su Tao immediately questioned impatiently, "Why did you sneak a peek at the suicide note Xiaocheng wrote to me!"
The air was immediately thick with hostility.
That small piece of paper seemed to have burned away Su Tao’s rationality.
But Fang Ning just tilted her head, and asked with a faint hint of doubt, “What do you mean sneak a peek? Didn’t you throw it away, and I picked it up?”
“I…”
Su Tao took a step back, struck dumb, and couldn't say anything to refute it.
Because it was indeed what she had thrown away, when she was impatient and angry, unable to control her emotions, she had crumpled it into a ball and thrown it into the trash can like a venting of her frustration.
Afterward, she was consumed with thoughts of what to do, seeking help from others, anxiety and pressure overwhelming her thoughts, unable to remember to pick it up immediately.
But in every way, Su Tao didn't want to lose to Fang Ning, nor did she want to be inferior to her, so she puffed out her chest and stubbornly said, "It's my fault. I'll apologize to Xiaocheng to the death later, but this suicide note doesn't have much to do with you."
Upon hearing this, Fang Ning frowned unhappily, “Su Tao sister.”
She emphasized the title, "The reason I still call you sister, the reason I don't want to say so many things to you, and haven't fallen out with you, is because Xiaocheng sister has always liked you so much.”
"But right now, you're making me a little disappointed."
"Disappointed?" Su Tao didn't understand what she meant.
As a rival, she actually said she was disappointed in herself? Was she mocking and ridiculing her?
Fang Ning raised the suicide note and slowly asked, "In your eyes, what is this in my hand?"
Su Tao bit her lip and said, "It's... It's the suicide note Xiaocheng left for me, it's something that holds her very important feelings. Please give it back to me!"
She reached out to snatch it, but the petite Fang Ning easily dodged it.
The little one’s frown deepened, and she said mercilessly, "Since this is something that holds Xiaocheng sister's important feelings, is this how you throw it away?"
"I've also read the contents. Xiaocheng sister is willing to die for you, preferring to end herself, just so you can forget her and live a good life. Is this a suicide note?"
"This is her love for you!"
Fang Ning’s voice suddenly grew louder and heavier, "I don't care what your reasons are. She loves you so much, she likes you so much, and you keep saying you like her, and you just throw this thing away like this!"
"In the beginning, this was a very neat and beautiful piece of stationery, right? Now, it's full of creases, folds, stains, and several holes!"
Fang Ning took a deep breath, controlling her emotions, "I don't want to argue with you, but I thought that after that snow farewell, you would become more mature, you would realize your mistakes and cherish Xiaocheng sister. The result is that this abandoned suicide note is your answer?"
"Right now, your stubbornness with me, and the look in your eyes that's full of disgust and disdain, is this your change?"
Fang Ning really hated Su Tao.
Very, very much.
Because she had almost caused Xiaocheng sister to die.
Because Xiaocheng sister had given so much, and she was still so stubbornly unenlightened.
Saying meaningless words, pretending to be calm and acting high and mighty, raising her advantages in front of herself, this "potential rival."
She, Fang Ning's, feelings didn't need to be considered at all.
She was originally a minor character who was about to withdraw, not even worthy of a role.
In fact, she was even willing to withdraw willingly, as a prelude to the two of them being able to be together, as long as Xiaocheng sister could be happy, as long as Su Tao sister could give Xiaocheng sister happiness.
Then Ningning would gradually fade out of your sight little by little.
Without disturbing your lives.
Until she disappeared.
In the end, she willingly withdrew, and the answer she got after planning so many "accidents" and "pressures" with Xiaocheng sister, was this?
I've been gone for half a day, and when I come back, you're not even in Xiaocheng sister's room!
If you like her, stay with her all the time!
Fang Ning let the wind mess up her long hair, bit her lip, and looked up at the girl who seemed to be high above.
The eyes hidden under her bangs were sharp, the suicide note in her hand was like a broken sword of an old friend, held tightly, and she challenged the person in front of her.
