Chapter 300 December 25Th
December 25Th
This time, the consciousness residing in this body seemed to realize something. It didn't argue with Su Tao and turned to leave.
It didn't even wait for Ye Liang to say a few words.
Under their slightly bewildered gazes, it walked away from the scorching sun and into the shadowy alley.
Like a player on a multiple playthrough, impatiently skipping the cutscene.
Afterward, it did the same thing as before, thinking of creating a chance encounter with Su Tao, explaining its feelings, and making Su Tao understand that Ye Liang was the one who would truly hurt her.
But it was as if some unseen hand was manipulating everything, and no matter what this body did, it always failed.
Chi Xiaocheng felt the waves of negative emotions and was confused.
In the last dream, she understood that she was facing a painful past she hadn't dared to recall.
Facing her own heart.
But what was the purpose of this dream? What exactly was she seeing?
The storyline of Xiaocheng and Su Tao from other world lines?
Or was it just a simple dream with no other meaning?
But this was a world within a novel.
Before she transmigrated.
It was just a novel created by an author.
The characters' personalities, the unfolding story, and the future development were all completely fixed.
Even with the existence of fanfiction, the so-called "fanfiction" was already content separate from the original novel.
In Chi Xiaocheng's view, the events she was currently experiencing in the dream had absolutely nothing to do with the novel.
While she was thinking, she returned to the present again, back to the street under the scorching sun.
And was once again loudly questioned by Su Tao, "Can you stop being so unreasonable..."
However, this time, before Su Tao could finish her sentence, Chi Xiaocheng uncontrollably interrupted her sharply, "Can you stop always saying I'm being unreasonable!"
Su Tao's words were immediately choked back. She saw that the girl in front of her had disheveled hair, and her clear eyes seemed about to bleed, with an unusual hint of scarlet.
She yelled at Su Tao, "Isn't it because I care about you and like you! Have you ever thought about my feelings when you leave like this? I have nothing without you!"
After shouting this sentence with all her might, the passersby on the street all turned to look. Even Su Tao was stunned.
But Chi Xiaocheng seemed to know that no matter what she said, she couldn't change the girl's determined heart, as if possessed. After shouting this sentence as a release, she turned and left.
She didn't notice that Su Tao, looking at her small, escaping back, subconsciously reached out to stop her.
Then, Ye Liang reminded her from the side, "Don't mind her, she's just being unreasonable. Like a child trying to get their parents' attention, childish and annoying. If you ignore her for a while, she'll naturally go back to normal."
Su Tao turned to look at Ye Liang, "But her condition just now was very strange, I... I want to go see her."
"What are you going to see!" Ye Liang's voice also rose a little, "In her current state, wouldn't going just lead to another argument? Isn't the news about your biological father more important than Chi Xiaocheng?"
"Let's go quickly, or my brother who came back from abroad will be leaving."
After Ye Liang finished speaking, he took the lead.
Su Tao looked at the direction Chi Xiaocheng had left, hesitated again and again, and finally turned and followed Ye Liang's footsteps.
And Xiaocheng in this dream was starting to become impatient.
Like a player stuck on a level, becoming frantic, her controls began to malfunction. She desperately wanted to get Su Tao's attention, even resorting to some petty tricks, but every time the two were able to meet, Su Tao's attention would always be drawn to other things that were happening at the same time.
Xiaocheng in the dream didn't know why.
But the one dreaming, Chi Xiaocheng, who was only observing the entire process from a possessed perspective, clearly knew that it was the will of the world at work.
Every time the Xiaocheng in the dream wanted to do something to attract Su Tao's attention and take the opportunity to clear up misunderstandings, something else would inevitably happen to disrupt her actions.
"All along the way, I've been ignoring the importance of the world's will. This dream is likely telling me the importance of the world's will."
"Even more radically, if I want to be with Tao Tao forever and never have any accidents happen again, the only way is to get rid of the world's will."
There was no system in the dream, and Chi Xiaocheng had no way to ask the system.
But she knew that Xiaocheng's efforts in the dream were probably all in vain.
The Xiaocheng in the dream was a character in the "novel," and no matter what, she couldn't escape the influence of the world's will.
Unlike herself, an "outsider," because the world's will couldn't affect her, she was able to influence Su Tao in the real reality.
Just like December 25th.
No matter what efforts the Xiaocheng in the dream made, she would always face death on this day.
It was as if her life in this novel only lasted until December 25th.
She would never be able to reach December 26th.
Time passed quickly. Some unimportant things passed by in Chi Xiaocheng's eyes almost in an instant. In the blink of an eye, it was another December 25th.
Chi Xiaocheng's consciousness possessed the body, trying to seize control and then spoke, "Give up, you'll only become more and more painful if you go on like this. In this world, you can't resist that empty, vast hand."
It was as if the Xiaocheng in the dream couldn't hear what she was saying.
She just walked tiredly down the street.
Searching for that moonlit girl among the crowd.
Because she had received news that Su Tao and Dongfang Yang would be coming here to buy things today, the Xiaocheng in the dream had come here, aimlessly searching on the last day of her life.
Hoping to clear up the argument and misunderstanding from a few months ago.
4:44 PM on December 25th.
After wandering around all afternoon, the Xiaocheng in the dream finally saw the person she had been longing for in front of the traffic lights.
On the opposite side of the intersection, Su Tao and Dongfang Yang were holding a cake and also saw the somewhat disheveled small figure.
The two sides looked at each other from afar, as if they both had something to say.
The Xiaocheng in the dream's excitement was overflowing, and the moment the green light came on, she ran across.
But following her footsteps was also a taxi speeding by.
The piercing sound of the horn was like a mocking dirge.
The Xiaocheng in the dream seemed to know that her time was up and suddenly stopped halfway.
A self-deprecating and extremely powerless wry smile appeared on the corner of her lips.
"Bang—!"
Shattered into pieces.
But miraculously, this time after the Xiaocheng in the dream died, Chi Xiaocheng didn't immediately return to the sunny street with her perspective.
She transformed into a soul-like illusory figure.
The crisp sound of high heels hitting the ground rang in her ears again.
In the corner of her vision, she saw the hem of a black formal dress.
A cold voice followed.
"Watching us who can never escape being manipulated by fate, don't you feel pathetic?"
