Chapter 490: Keep Your Xiaocheng By Your Side Forever
Watching Su Tao, who had completely shed her idealized charm, Chi Xiaocheng’s heart grew cold.
Even now, angry, wronged, and hurting, she still clung to a shred of rationality.
She forced herself to calm down.
She continuously told herself that this was all the doing of the world's will.
The world's will was desperate for Su Tao to abandon her, and without Su Tao, this "personal bodyguard" with the bloodline of a War God, she would be much easier to kill.
Just like the last ambush at Chu Lingfeng's manor.
If Su Tao hadn't arrived in time, she and Si Chen would have been defeated and died there.
Ha, if I love you, I shouldn't deceive you?
But weren't those lies also a part of my love for you?
Chi Xiaocheng clearly understood Su Tao's current mindset.
It was like those addicts and gamblers.
They knew they couldn't continue, whether it was addictive substances or gambling.
When they were caught up in the moment, they might not think of such things.
But in their moments of lucidity, they would also feel that they should stop, that continuing would only lead to more terrible things, making themselves increasingly "ugly."
Even understanding all this, was it useful?
No, it wasn't. They were already dominated by that "pleasure," their brains having given up struggling and thinking.
Like gamblers, they would only think the next hand would break even, the next hand would earn more.
Therefore, gamblers would always remain gamblers.
Su Tao was in such a state.
Deep down, she might have known she felt guilty towards Chi Xiaocheng, known it might be her fault, known they shouldn't continue arguing, as that would only lead to worse things.
But her thoughts were already being guided by this "pleasure" from the world's will.
She couldn't pull herself out.
So obsessive, how was she any different from her former self?
Seeing Chi Xiaocheng remain silent for a long time, Su Tao pressed her attack further, reaching out and gripping Chi Xiaocheng's arm. "What's wrong, Xiaocheng? Have you run out of rebuttals now?"
"Rebuttal?"
Chi Xiaocheng let out a self-deprecating laugh. "You don't believe me now, so how do you expect me to rebut you, and then prove to you that my love for you is deeper than yours for me?"
What was the point of her, influenced by the world's will?
Chi Xiaocheng had a plan for what to do next, but she still felt a chill.
This argument should never have happened.
Now, the argument wasn't about deception; it was simply Su Tao believing that Chi Xiaocheng's love wasn't deep enough.
Su Tao squeezed Chi Xiaocheng's arm, pressing harder and harder, even leaning close to her and demanding harshly, "Why aren't you rebutting? Go on, prove that your feelings for me are real! Can you truly leave Dongfang Yang now and stay by my side forever?"
Chi Xiaocheng's arm ached, and tears involuntarily streamed down her face. "What more do you want me to prove?"
"Do I have to die right in front of you to prove my love?!"
With a loud cry, Chi Xiaocheng gritted her teeth against the pain, violently tore free from Su Tao's grasp, and fled directly into the depths of the garden.
Her two small legs beneath her skirt moved continuously, and her glistening tears reflected dazzling light under the moonlight.
They fell into the flower bushes, onto the leaves.
Even these plants, due to this sorrow, gradually folded inward.
Fireflies still swarmed around Su Tao, their tiny lanterns flickering. The warm moonlight fell upon her, highlighting the girl's expression, which held a touch of confusion before being consumed by obsession.
Meanwhile, the girl in the white dress gradually vanished into the garden's shadows.
A similarly self-deprecating smile.
No explanation, no rebuttal, just running away?
"Xiaocheng, you clearly said you loved me, so why are you guiltily running away now?"
"Is it because you don't know how to explain yourself?"
"Or are you going to seek comfort from Dongfang Yang again?"
A voice whispered deep inside her: And she might even use this chance to break ties with you, and then truly be with Dongfang Yang!
The voice in her heart rang out again.
And because of this, the obsession in her heart grew even stronger.
Xiaocheng absolutely cannot be with Dongfang Yang.
She is mine!
She is mine!
Mine!!!
"I have to find a way to keep Xiaocheng by my side, no matter what method I use to restore her memories."
"Yes, I need to bring back that yandere Xiaocheng. Only that Xiaocheng will truly love only me."
If it were before, if Xiaocheng argued with me like this, she would definitely self-harm again to prove her affection for me.
But now?
She rebutted me, she ran away.
The current Xiaocheng isn't the Xiaocheng I know!
In an argument like this, she didn't show any signs of her yandere tendencies!
"But... how am I supposed to keep Xiaocheng by my side?"
Like Xiaocheng used to be, if I lock her up, can I keep her by my side?
The idea of a dark room suddenly echoed in Su Tao's mind.
Yes, as long as Xiaocheng was imprisoned, unable to do anything without her, then Xiaocheng would belong to her alone.
Su Tao felt as though she had found the correct path.
But a certain voice deep inside her didn't seem to agree.
A voice countered from deep within: "Just a dark room won't work, my Taotao. Have you forgotten? Xiaocheng isn't like she used to be. Dongfang Yang likes her, Si Chen has a very good relationship with her, and even Chi Song cares deeply for Xiaocheng. What would happen if they found out you deliberately locked Xiaocheng in a dark room? Dongfang Yang would break ties with you because he likes Chi Xiaocheng, and he would rescue her. Si Chen and Chi Song would do the same. Their methods and extremism are even greater than Dongfang Yang's! At that time, wouldn't you, Su Tao, become the villain? They would strike you down because of Chi Xiaocheng, subdue you, just like in novels and comics, and then live happily ever after. Is this the ending you want to see?!"
"No... such an ending will absolutely not be allowed!"
Prompted by the voice in her heart, Su Tao's lips trembled slightly. She painfully clutched her head and crouched on the ground.
Her clothes brushed against the dirt, and her appearance and demeanor grew increasingly dishevelled.
The voice in her mind continued to entice her.
"Yes, we cannot allow that to happen. That wouldn't truly be together. One day, you would lose your Xiaocheng. Drop out of school with Xiaocheng. Take Xiaocheng back to your old home. There, there's no Dongfang Yang, no Si Chen. And you can break Xiaocheng's legs, making her forever bound to a wheelchair. She won't even be able to care for her basic needs, relying solely on you. Wouldn't she then truly belong to you forever?"
This voice had left a hook.
Su Tao, indeed sensing the hook, asked with trembling lips, "But... what about Brother Chi Song? Xiaocheng's legs would be broken, so she couldn't run around, but Dongfang Yang and Si Chen would definitely come to visit Xiaocheng often, right? They know Xiaocheng's address!"
If that happened, wouldn't Xiaocheng still be taken from her?
That kind of Xiaocheng still wouldn't belong to her alone.
She ought to belong only to her!
"Then what if we're even more radical? I have a way to make Xiaocheng truly stay by your side, even merge with you."
"A way?"
"Yes, a way for you to be with her forever."
"Just kill her. Keep her ashes with you, or even dissolve them in water and drink them. Wouldn't she then belong only to you forever?"
That would be true, complete unity.
