Chapter 301 Chapter 300: Contradictory Little Cheng
Chapter 300: Contradictory Little Cheng
She appeared again.
Adorned with a black rose hair clip, her elegant black gown shimmered with starlight, radiating a subtle glow.
Black Little Cheng.
She had appeared beside Chi Xiaocheng in the last lucid dream.
At first, she had felt scared and fearful.
During the countless times Su Tao left and she was alone, she would quietly stay by her side, still uttering those bewitching, insane words, but without making her feel lonely.
In the end, when she was about to leave, Chi Xiaocheng was already able to face that somewhat abnormal side of herself, and even felt a touch of reluctance at her departure.
Now, she was having another lucid dream.
And she had appeared again.
Was she just a hallucination, or someone who could only live in this dream?
Or perhaps…
Chi Xiaocheng turned and looked at Black Little Cheng, who was identical to her but radiated an aura that kept people away, and couldn't help but ask, "Are you the Little Cheng from the original story?"
She asked it so directly.
Because she really did have that feeling.
When she transmigrated, the original Chi Xiaocheng was just preparing to attack Su Tao in the small black room; she hadn't suddenly died because of some accident.
Unlike a typical transmigration, where the original body died violently because of something, and the soul of an outsider occupied the body.
Looking at this version of herself wearing a black gown, Chi Xiaocheng waited for her answer.
But to her surprise, Black Little Cheng just shook her head lightly. "Didn't I tell you last time? I'm just another you."
"Born from your imagination because of some need you have."
Hearing this, Chi Xiaocheng quickly pressed, "But you just said that thing about being manipulated, about fate!"
Black Little Cheng said calmly, "Because I was born from you, I have your memories, and I know this is a world within a novel. As one of the characters in this world, being manipulated by a ruthless hand isn't that a pathetic thing?"
Chi Xiaocheng was silent, unsure how to respond to Black Little Cheng's words.
She wasn't a character in this world.
She couldn't empathize with her.
But she understood what Black Little Cheng meant.
She was talking about Su Tao. Su Tao *was* a character in this world.
Did this dream mean that as a character in this world, Su Tao could never escape the control of the world's will?
Like the endless cycle of Little Cheng in the dream.
No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't save Su Tao, who was influenced by the world's will and leaning towards the male leads.
No matter how she avoided it, she would die on December 25th.
Seeming to sense that her mood was declining, Black Little Cheng spoke up in time. "But what I didn't expect was that you, who were so afraid of me before, would actually seek me out."
Chi Xiaocheng pushed aside her gloomy feelings and said slowly, "I… I want someone to keep me company. There are so many things I can't tell anyone else."
She plopped down on the ground. "I like Tao Tao, and I want to be with her forever, but I'm also a very selfish person, and like you said last time, a not-so-normal person."
"I want to be with her forever, and never have anyone disturb us, until forever."
"To that end, I even fantasized that if the whole world was just the two of us, or if we were just the two of us in a room we couldn't leave, I would be willing."
"But the other me, you have my memories, and if you know my situation, you must understand."
"It's hard for Tao Tao to belong only to me."
Chi Xiaocheng reached out her hand, wanting to grab Su Tao, who was stunned by the side of the crosswalk. "Like this dream, there are always so many people around Tao Tao."
"Even outside the dream, in reality, Tao Tao is always distracted by other things, and ignores me."
"So I have a plan, to raise Tao Tao's possessiveness towards me to above 90%. As long as her eyes are full of me too, there will definitely be no problem."
Chi Xiaocheng clenched her fist hard, then suddenly released it. "But that's so long, it will take so long, and after getting close to her these past two days, I really have the urge to just stop pretending to be asleep."
"I want to be with her like this."
"But I'm afraid she won't want me in the future."
"I'm worried that giving her too much pressure will make her annoyed with me."
"But if I don't act a little extreme, I'm afraid she'll ignore me."
As she spoke, she laughed self-deprecatingly. "Isn't it contradictory?"
"Just hearing about the character weighting and the will of the world has made me uneasy and confused. What should I do to be with Tao Tao forever?"
"Another me, do you feel that I'm very weak?"
Black Little Cheng looked at her quietly and said calmly, "Having anxiety and restlessness is normal. It's because you care too much that you're contradictory. Actually, just do what you want."
Chi Xiaocheng was a little surprised. "Aren't you like last time, forcing me to make a certain choice?"
Black Little Cheng shrugged. "Didn't I say? I was born because of your needs. Now, I'm just born from your imagination to keep you company."
Just an ordinary listener who knew her thoughts and pressures.
Black Little Cheng said, "If you want to cry, I don't mind lending you my shoulder."
She tapped her toe on the floor and floated to Chi Xiaocheng's side.
Chi Xiaocheng suddenly smiled. "That's right, I'm just telling you the things I don't dare to tell Tao Tao. As for what to do..."
She had always had a goal in her heart.
She was just hesitating in the process.
No one could completely seal their heart.
If she didn't have the slightest emotional change in the process of implementing this goal, that would be the most hopeless thing.
The dream was still running. The Little Cheng in the dream, knocked down by the taxi, was almost torn to pieces, extremely exaggerated.
Su Tao, unable to believe this scene, finally trembled and walked towards the body that had stained the ground red after her brain had been down for a long time.
She seemed to be muttering something, but it was too far away to hear clearly.
"You said, the me in the dream, clearly unable to interfere with the operation of this world, clearly knowing the things that will happen next, why does she still try at the cost of her life?"
"It must hurt a lot, right?"
When Chi Xiaocheng possessed her, she couldn't feel that kind of pain, but she could feel the emotion of that pain.
She even wondered if this Little Cheng in the dream knew that she was just a dream character, and that no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't change anything, would she choose to give up?
Black Little Cheng asked calmly, "If you knew that Su Tao would definitely be controlled by the will of the world, would you still choose to save her?"
"Yes."
Chi Xiaocheng blurted out without hesitation.
The answer seemed to be obvious.
She would take action no matter what, just like the Little Cheng in the dream right now.
But in her heart, she could never get the deepest sense of security.
Chi Xiaocheng looked at Su Tao, who was crying as she faced the body, and was stunned. She slowly asked the version of herself beside her a question hidden deep in her heart, a question she didn't dare to ask anyone.
"Another me, do you think Su Tao will still like me if I confess to her that I'm a transmigrator?"
