Chapter 355 Chapter 353 A Feeling More Distant Than Love
Chapter 353 A Feeling More Distant Than Love
"Xiao Cheng, I like you!"
The words had played out in my mind countless times.
I'd even been actively seeking a chance to tell Xiao Cheng in person.
I still couldn't forget that vivid experience of life and death, nor that phrase, "You're all I see."
That last will and testament…
No, that love letter, represented the girl's entire heart to me.
I'd felt regret, I'd been consumed by self-doubt, I'd been criticized, I'd cried. Wasn't the whole reason I desperately tried to restore Chi Xiaocheng's memories for this very moment?
To confess to her!
To say I liked her!
And then, to kiss her!!!
I didn't blush, even though I knew the answer deep down, I still couldn't stop my heart from racing.
The mixture of nervousness and excitement only clarified my feelings.
I looked at Chi Xiaocheng and added more firmly, "Xiao Cheng, I like you, I like you so, so much, I never want you to leave me, so… do you like me?"
I shouldn't wait for her answer.
I should take the initiative.
Who could say I hadn't grown at all?
Just like the scene I'd imagined a thousand times in my head.
I knew there was only one answer Chi Xiaocheng could give.
The girl with the delicate face in front of me took my hand, her tone helpless and affectionate, "Yes, yes, I know, Tao Tao, I like you too, okay?"
The words were spoken.
But there was no shyness or bewilderment as I'd expected; Chi Xiaocheng just responded so calmly.
The mutual feelings between us had finally been spoken aloud at this moment.
Even though it felt a little strange, I was so overwhelmed by this windfall of happiness that it clouded my mind.
My brain kept replaying Chi Xiaocheng's reply, "I like you."
I didn't even immediately notice the flatness of Chi Xiaocheng's expression.
I pulled Chi Xiaocheng into a hug, my voice starting to sob, "Finally… finally we're back to this day, it was so hard, Xiao Cheng, finally… wah…"
Chi Xiaocheng gently patted my back, her face turning hesitant in my blind spot.
She could anticipate what I was going to say next.
That's why she was hesitant.
She even wanted to nod in agreement in advance.
But…
Chi Xiaocheng said softly, "Okay, Tao Tao, don't cry, my memories have come back, haven't they? I'll never forget the time I spent with you, Tao Tao."
"Mm… mm!"
At this moment, I, the aggrieved child, had become the one weeping.
I touched the tears that had flowed because of happiness, saying unintentionally, "Then Xiao Cheng, are we girlfriends now? Are we girlfriends, right? We've finally reached this day. You used to hope for this so much, but so much happened."
"I'll consider this the answer to all my hard work lately."
I clenched my fist, looking toward the future, "Xiao Cheng, let's work hard together in the future!"
The sunlight outside the window shone on my face, making my expression incredibly determined.
At that moment, Chi Xiaocheng saw that perfect, radiant ideal again.
It's just that…
She didn't like that beautiful image.
She was a radiant ideal, shining on everyone, not just her.
That was a setting imposed on her by the will of the world, countless unyielding qualities that didn't represent her own personality at all.
"It's too lofty…"
Chi Xiaocheng sighed inwardly and gently pushed me away a little, "Tao Tao, what did you just say?"
She got the answer she wanted, but she had to pretend she didn't hear it clearly.
Not noticing anything was amiss, I supplemented happily, "I said, from now on, we're girlfriends!"
She began to imagine the future, "Xiao Cheng, I've already thought it through. First, we'll tell Dongfang Yang and Si Chen that we're together, so they won't steal you away."
"Then, because Dongfang Yang and Chi Song don't get along, if you're not feeling well, you'll take care of yourself. I'll solve the economic problems at home."
"Didn't you say you like writing novels? When the time comes, I'll take on drawing commissions to earn some tuition fees."
"When we graduate and can make money, we'll open a small shop together, live our lives and save money to buy a car, a house, a diamond ring, and then…"
She didn't continue speaking, but a hint of shyness appeared on her face.
But as the sun gradually faded, I noticed the confused expression on Chi Xiaocheng's face, "Xiao Cheng, what's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"
Chi Xiaocheng put one hand behind her, tightly gripping the corner of the pillow behind her, "Something is a little off. Am I hearing things? Tao Tao, are you… confessing to me?"
Perhaps having confirmed this to herself, Chi Xiaocheng's expression changed from confusion to surprise.
I had a bad feeling in my heart, and my voice couldn't help but become a little anxious, "Yes, Xiao Cheng. Isn't this what you used to hope for? That we would always be together, and then become lovers, living together…"
Before she could finish speaking, Chi Xiaocheng interrupted her.
A strand of tea-colored hair fell, accentuating the girl's face full of disbelief, "But… we're both girls. Being together would be too strange, right?"
The sun had retreated.
The sunlight no longer shone on this hospital room.
Even the birds that had been chirping outside the window had stopped singing at this moment.
It was as if the world had fallen silent.
My pupils widened, and all my previous joy and happiness disappeared, "Xiao Cheng… what are you saying?"
"You're the one saying strange things, Tao Tao," Chi Xiaocheng said, "We're both girls, how could we be together?"
"But didn't you just say you liked me? I said I liked you, and you said you liked me, right? I heard it very clearly, and your memories have returned, haven't they!"
My voice was getting louder and louder.
Chi Xiaocheng seemed to be frightened by her, and her voice gradually became softer.
"Of course I like you."
"You're my Sister Su Tao. Is there anything wrong with me liking you?"
"I've always treated you as my favorite older sister."
The room suddenly fell silent.
You could hear a pin drop.
I finally understood what the faint sense of disharmony that I could feel from the beginning was.
I finally understood why, even though Xiao Cheng had recovered her memories, I could still feel the incoherence in her.
"So that's how it is, so that's how it is…"
"Hahaha… hahahahaha!"
I took a step straight back, covered my face with one hand, and laughed out loud.
The laughter sounded painful, even a little broken.
I understood, I understood everything!
Xiao Cheng had recovered her memories.
But she had not recovered the corresponding feelings.
We are sisters.
We are both girls.
How could people of the same gender be together?
How familiar was this thought and answer.
"So, the pain that Xiao Cheng once felt when I rejected her was like this."
For love, the farthest distance is not being unable to get what you want.
On the more distant shore, there is another kind of feeling that separates everything.
Family.
