Chapter 406 The Answer Of The 520Th Reincarnation
"Xiao Cheng, I like you!"
The girl's eyes were tightly closed, her voice echoing across the sunset-reddened lake, lingering in the air.
She seemed to have used all her strength, her body slightly bowed, her hands clenched so tightly her shoulders trembled slightly, her chest heaving violently. The girl's emotions seemed to be poured out at that instant.
Suddenly, Su Tao raised her head again, taking a deep breath.
Her gaze locked onto Chi Xiaocheng's eyes, looking at this girl who had once been within her reach, but was now loved but unattainable.
Yes, she hadn't cherished what was within reach, and now she regretted it after losing it.
How many times had it been like this?
From Xiaocheng's suicide attempt, to nearly dying from a gunshot wound, her strong willpower had kept her alive, but the result was months of amnesia.
And now!
She had come this far.
She was at the foot of the Ferris wheel!
When she had suggested a date, Xiaocheng had not only not refused, but had even taken the initiative to suggest going to the amusement park.
Xiaocheng hadn't refused the couple's outfit she had deliberately prepared, or even when she had explained its special significance. She had even giggled at the thought.
In the escape room, they had chosen a couple's scenario, and Xiaocheng hadn't argued when she had said that girls and girls could also be a couple.
During the Pocky game, even when she had forcibly kissed this cute girl, she had only blushed and felt shy, instead of saying the words that had once pained her.
Even when faced with the suit-clad security guards sent by Chu Lingfeng to attack her, Xiaocheng had relied on her, saying, "I believe Taotao can protect me."
And in the end, when they couldn't ride the Ferris wheel, the thoughtful Xiaocheng had noticed her disappointment and had taken the initiative to suggest going to a couple's restaurant for a meal.
Holding hands, representing affection and love.
All the intimacy and affection that had been building up.
A whole day of build-up.
Was she going to give up just because it wasn't the Ferris wheel?
Absolutely not!
Su Tao swallowed, placing her hands on Chi Xiaocheng's shoulders. Her straightforward tone wasn't sentimental, but the words she spoke were those that had been hidden in her heart all along.
"Xiaocheng, you must know that I wanted to take you on the Ferris wheel because I wanted to confess to you up there."
"My intentions were so obvious, you couldn't possibly not know."
"But... I don't want to keep waiting. I've waited for too long."
"Your memories have returned, but your emotions haven't fully recovered. I think you must remember all the things we've been through together."
"Before, I was wrong."
"You liked me so much, and I couldn't bear to lose you either, but I couldn't recognize my own feelings. I rejected you again and again, saying things like I was just pretending to like you, deceiving myself."
"I hurt you, and made you sad, and even almost lost you several times."
Su Tao gave a bitter smile, her tone becoming self-deprecating. "You lost your memories, and you were always lying in the hospital bed. Every time, I felt so guilty. I wished it was me lying in bed. I always wondered why you had to bear the consequences of my mistakes."
"Countless nights, countless nightmares, endless waiting."
"Everyone kept telling me to wait a little longer, that everything would be alright if I just waited, that your memories and emotions would recover and you wouldn't be so obsessed."
"But I!" Su Tao's voice grew louder, her speech quickening. "I really can't wait any longer!"
She clutched her chest, trying to express herself. "After experiencing one thing after another, I realized how much I like you! I can't live without you!"
"Even though I know this isn't a good time to confess!"
"You sensed my feelings, there's no one around to witness this, and we've both calmed down, so we can't rely on that feeling of excitement."
"But I still want to confess to you, I still want to tell you..."
"I like you!"
Su Tao paused for a moment, her voice gradually becoming gentler from its shouted exclamation. "So Xiaocheng, will you be with me?"
The last rays of the sunset shone down, giving the girl's profile and hair a golden glow.
Her light blue eyes flickered constantly.
She resembled the most heartwarming, most gentle white moonlight, and at this moment, it seemed to be standing before her again.
Gentle, confident.
And even more so, an undisguised love.
Would the answer be the one she wanted?
Su Tao couldn't see Chi Xiaocheng's eyes.
Faced with the confession, the girl seemed to be avoiding it, her head slightly lowered, her bangs obscuring her eyes, making it impossible to see her emotions. Only her gently trembling shoulders indicated the girl's restless heart.
She had conveyed all her love to the girl's ears through her voice.
All that remained was to wait for a response.
Should she agree?
Could she agree?
Taotao's confession, once again.
What about her role as a weighty figure, what about the will of the world?
From her shoulders, to her arms hidden behind her, to her trembling body, Chi Xiaocheng tried to hide her fear of the future.
On one side, including Xiao Hei, it was the ending of 520 reincarnations.
On the other side was the heart that was constantly beating violently, eager to respond.
She couldn't agree! She couldn't agree! She couldn't agree! She couldn't agree!
If she agreed, this reincarnation would be in vain.
She would die and leave Taotao again.
And Taotao would, because of her death, gradually move towards the ending of the original story, be abused by a rich female supporting character who appeared out of nowhere, and then commit suicide.
If she agreed, that would be the ending!
Hadn't she learned her lesson from falling down again and again?
Accompanied by her trembling body, tears flowed uncontrollably.
"Tongzi…Xiao Hei…what…what should I do…?"
The weak cry in her heart failed to summon the two who had stayed by her side for hundreds of reincarnations.
The sun gradually set.
The last bit of light that shone on the two of them disappeared completely.
Legend has it that the darkest time in the world is when the sun sets and the moon hasn't risen yet.
Just like when the moon is dim in the early morning and the sun hasn't risen.
Tears dripped onto her shoes. Chi Xiaocheng slowly raised her head, her tender and lovely face resolute.
Her hand, wanting to wipe away her tears, trembled slightly. "Hey, Taotao... can you... can you say it again?"
"I like you!"
Su Tao's expression didn't change, but her tone was even more earnest than before.
Then, she continued to add, "I like you!"
"I like you!"
"Xiaocheng, no matter how many times you want me to say it, I'll always like you!"
So, please agree to be with me... okay?
Time seemed to freeze at that moment. As the ink-like color of the approaching night deepened, the moon came out.
As if embraced by the entire world, the first ray of moonlight fell on the two of them.
"Idiot..."
A mosquito-like voice came from Chi Xiaocheng's mouth.
Su Tao was stunned for a moment. "Xiaocheng, what did you say?"
"I said, idiot!" Chi Xiaocheng raised her eyes, her voice suddenly louder.
"I like you too!!!"
The girl sniffled, then suddenly stood on tiptoe, cupped the girl's face, and kissed her gently.
Tears streamed down her cheeks and reflected the white moonlight.
To refuse...
She couldn't do it...
Sorry, for the efforts of 520 reincarnations.
I, like Taotao.
