Chapter 218 : Chapter 218
Chapter 218. I Haven’t Left, and I Will Never Leave Again
“Have you not hated him since you were little? He always bullied you too.” The female deskmate still refused to give up and tried to persuade her.
Su Linyu bit her lower lip. “I know, but he is my fiancé. We are going to build a family together in the future, so is it not only right for me to treat him well?”
But as she spoke, she gradually became less confident. She lowered her eyes and said, “All right. At first, I only tried to please Jiang Yichen because I wanted to make Dad happy. But as I invested more time and effort, I gradually found myself unable to leave Jiang Yichen.”
“Sometimes, I thought about giving up. But if I suddenly gave up, then what would all my efforts over the past ten years count for?”
“In any case, I will marry Jiang Yichen in the future. As long as I keep treating him well, he will eventually notice my good points.”
The female deskmate looked utterly speechless. She shook her head. She really could not persuade her. There was no persuading her at all.
Su Linyu continued holding her phone, typing in the WeChat chat box that had received no response.
Jiang Yichen fell silent. Or perhaps he was at a loss.
Su Linyu, you…
He did not know what to say, nor could he say anything.
His past self had truly acted fearlessly because he had been loved.
In the end, Jiang Yichen reached through the void and grabbed the phone of his illusory self, then replied on it.
“All right. Let us watch the movie together this weekend.”
Ding-dong!
The message was sent, and the special notification tone Su Linyu had set rang out.
Her eyes widened in disbelief. She tried to stand up, but her thigh struck the underside of the desk.
Hiss!
Su Linyu winced in pain, but she excitedly grabbed her female deskmate’s hand. “Look, look! Brother Yichen agreed to watch a movie with me! Ahhh! This is the first time he has ever agreed.”
Just as Jiang Yichen revealed a smile, the environment before his eyes changed again. He appeared on the streets of a bustling city.
“How exactly am I supposed to pull Su Linyu out of the illusion deep within her heart?”
He looked around at his surroundings and walked aimlessly along the sidewalk, his face filled with worry.
【Ding! Slacking Choice triggered.】
【Choice One: Faced with being unable to find a way to pull Su Linyu out of the illusion for so long, you rack your brains and continue searching like a madman. Reward: the title “Mr. Lovestruck.”
Choice Two: You cannot find it? Then forget it. Just slack off and stop searching. Reward: “Low-level Slacker Gift Pack.”
Choice Three: Since you cannot find it for the time being, you might as well treat this as a journey, take it slowly, and experience what an illusory world is like. This is also a kind of life experience. Reward: “High-level Slacker Gift Pack.”】
Jiang Yichen’s footsteps paused as he looked at the three choices before him.
Especially the second choice. All he could do was roll his eyes at the system.
He raised his head and looked at the night sky filled with brilliant stars. If he searched for ten or twenty years and still could not find a way to pull Su Linyu out of the illusion, then he would continue searching.
So what if the Divine Contract in the Guankou Divine Ruins was seized by foreign martial artists? I decide what I want to do.
Jiang Yichen continued walking until two figures appeared in his field of vision. Only then did he slowly stop.
“Are you annoying or what? What exactly do you want?!”
Under a distant streetlamp, his illusory self flung Su Linyu’s hands away, making her fall to the ground.
Under the light, Su Linyu’s eyes were filled with hot tears. “Brother Yichen, you and Lin Wan…”
“Yes. Lin Wan is my girlfriend now. Get as far away from me as you can. Do not appear in front of me again. I am afraid Lin Wan will misunderstand!”
His former self spoke coldly. He did not care about Su Linyu on the ground and turned to walk toward Lin Wan, who stood in the distance.
Su Linyu cried in grievance and chased after Jiang Yichen with unsteady steps. “Brother Yichen, why? What did I do wrong? Tell me. I will change, all right?”
“Brother Yichen, wait for me…”
Rumble—
The engine of a sports car roared on the road and gradually disappeared.
Su Linyu stopped, and tears fell drop by drop onto the bluestone pavement.
Slap!
Standing not far away, Jiang Yichen directly slapped himself across the face. Damn it! In his previous life, I really was a damned beast.
The scene before his eyes was from his freshman year of university, when he met Lin Wan and confirmed their relationship.
Jiang Yichen slowly walked behind Su Linyu. Listening to her sobs, his eyes trembled.
“Do not leave. Do not leave me…”
Su Linyu sobbed as she took out her phone and sent messages to the contact saved as “Brother Yichen.”
She typed extremely quickly, sending one long green message bubble after another.
When the red exclamation mark finally appeared, Su Linyu could not help crying again.
“Why? What did I do wrong? Tell me. Why did you chase me away?”
“Why did you leave me?”
It was as though countless questions were buried in her heart. More than ten years of effort had ultimately turned into nothing.
“I haven’t left, and from now on, I will never leave you again.”
Just when Su Linyu was at her most despairing moment, Jiang Yichen crouched down and embraced her, who had cried herself into a tearful mess, then whispered in her ear.
Su Linyu’s sobs suddenly stopped. She raised her head blankly and looked at his face, revealing an expression that seemed both crying and smiling.
She wrapped her arms around Jiang Yichen’s neck and held him tightly, as though she was incomparably afraid that he would leave.
And at this moment, the surrounding scene shattered like glass, and the illusion gradually broke apart…
【Ding! Congratulations, Host. You have made your choice and obtained a “High-level Slacker Gift Pack.” Would you like to open it?】
