Chapter 24 Possessiveness
A trace of confusion flashed across Si Tang's face, and he seemed not to react to his sudden change of subject.
Fan Yi calmly told her the general contents of the Scroll of Destiny, his drooping eyelashes hiding a strange look on his face.
"So, Tangtang, your destiny will officially begin in three years. Everything will be taken away from you, just to highlight the glorious life of others. And your death will pave the way for the Si family's decline and change of surname."
Si Tang was stunned, as if he had not yet recovered from the fact that he was going to die at the age of 31.
Unexpectedly, the protagonist of the bad script she once talked about turned out to be herself.
Whether you have smooth sailing or are displaced, it is all determined by the pen of the goddess of fate. How ridiculous.
Her eyes fell on Fan Yi, as if considering the truthfulness of his words.
Seeing through her suspicion, Fan Yi felt a little depressed. This unfamiliar emotion made him confused and unhappy.
His long, snow-white eyelashes fluttered like butterfly wings, adding to his innocence. He said softly, "I swear in the name of the Sea God."
Si Tang lowered his head, feeling a moment of guilt for his suspicion.
She knew that Fan Yi did not lie to her, but she also knew that he was just trying to keep her.
Perhaps, for thousands of years, the gods have been too lonely and have never had any friends. They don't know how to get along normally.
Only when you have experienced the warmth of someone's company will you be reluctant to leave her.
Liang Sitang didn't dare to think in any other direction no matter what.
"But if I don't leave here, the Si family will decline even faster in three years, right?"
She would only be able to survive if she stayed here. Her main destiny would not change at all. For example, her half-sister would eventually come to power, and the Si family would decline and change their surname.
"That's right." Fan Yi replied, then sighed softly, "Don't leave, okay? Tangtang, I can only protect you if you stay by my side."
Si Tang was silent for a moment, "Then I have to go back."
Upon hearing this, Fan Yi's brows furrowed, a hint of coldness flashing across his eyes. "Why?"
"Because I have something more important than life. The Si family is my mother's lifelong labor, and it cannot fall into the hands of others. I will not rest in peace until I complete this task."
It was rare for Si Tang to show such a resolute look, and the look he gave Fan Yi was full of the courage to risk everything.
Si Tang also wanted to tell him how important this matter was to her.
In the eyes of the gods, everything in the human world is empty and he does not understand why the decline of a family is so important.
Is survival less important than family?
Fan Yi's expression became even more gloomy, and silent pressure surrounded the two of them, while Si Tang's expression was pale but still firm, which made Fan Yi very frustrated.
"Don't be silly, Tangtang. Going back won't change the outcome, and you can't escape death. Stay by my side, and I will let you live your life in peace."
In God's eyes, human life span is only a hundred years, which is short to begin with. Why bother throwing ourselves into the fire like a moth?
Si Tang stared at him, the moonlight falling into the girl's dark eyes, shimmering with a brilliant light. She suddenly spoke slowly.
"But, you told me all this. If I do the opposite, I can avoid the plot of the fate line, right?"
She will rewrite her destiny.
Fan Yi stared at her for a long time.
His Tangtang was really... so smart and brave that he wanted to admire her, but so stubborn that it annoyed him.
There was an indelible gloom between the god's brows.
His eyes were filled with scorn, as if mocking her naiveté. "Tangtang, you greatly underestimate the power of fate to set things right. At the very least, it's not something that mortals can easily reverse."
Si Tang fell silent, her determined eyes gradually dimmed, she lowered her head and bit her lips tightly.
"So," she said softly, lowering her head, "can you tell me more details, Fan Yi?"
For example, who is her fiancé whom she falls in love with at first sight, how will she be falsely accused of plagiarism, and what will happen to her that will cause her to die of illness.
There was a sense of depression in Fan Yi's eyes, as if a storm was about to break out.
Why doesn't she give up and leave?
Seeing that Fan Yi remained silent, Si Tang's voice became even lower, mixed with anxiety and helplessness.
"Look at us...we are..."
As she spoke, she felt a little sad for some reason, and the following words seemed to be difficult to bring out.
Why should he tell her more? His meddling in her fate was already against the rules. Besides not understanding how friends should get along, he was already good to her.
She stopped talking, and Fan Yi took over her words.
"We are friends. But if we are friends, why do you want to leave? Am I not good to you?" His voice was hoarse, and his blue eyes were obscured by light and shadow, and his emotions were unclear.
Si Tang was speechless for a moment. A chill quietly rose up in her air. She sighed softly and turned her back to him.
The moonlight enveloped the girl like a woven mist, and the girl seemed to dissipate with the moonlight, eager to escape his control.
Just when Fan Yi thought she wouldn't answer, she whispered to him.
"Even if we're friends... we can't interfere in each other's lives."
Hearing this, a savage look flashed across Fan Yi's eyes. He suddenly grabbed Si Tang's wrist and tightened his arm. Si Tang was stunned and had no choice but to crash into his arms.
Fan Yi clamped her waist, as if he wanted to trap her in his palm forever.
Si Tang raised her eyes and met his deep, whirlpool-like eyes. There were dark cracks at the bottom of his eyes, as if something was about to break out of its cage.
"If friends can't do it, then what about others?"
Si Tang was stunned. Her face was filled with confusion.
Other? What other?
Liang Sitang would never have guessed what Fan Yi was really planning. She simply thought his strong possessiveness towards her was due to his lack of understanding of the normal way friends get along.
Under the moonlight, the two were silent for a long time.
Si Tang inexplicably felt that something was beyond her understanding and control. She scanned his face with a look of doubt and uncertainty.
Seeing that she seemed frightened, Fan Yi closed his eyes slightly and slowly loosened his hand. A dark, determined look flashed in his eyes.
He lowered his eyes to look at her again and said word by word, "I won't let you leave, Tangtang. I can't let you die."
If he were to die, his Tangtang would have to die beside him. She had to be with him, always.
The promise of God is as heavy as a thousand pounds.
Si Tang's heartstrings moved slightly.
Fan Yi gave her one last, deep look before turning and leaving. A flash of white light passed, and Fan Yi disappeared from view.
And his last look was so complex and profound that Si Tang could neither interpret nor forget it.
Si Tang was still in a daze, when suddenly the white barrier in front of him gradually disappeared. It was Fan Yi who removed the barrier when he left.
Listening carefully, the strange rustling sounds around became silent. Only the sound of the wind and the rustling shadows of the trees could be heard in the moonlight.
Si Tang understood that it was Fan Yi who cleared all the dangers from the entire island.
Si Tang leaned lightly on the swing, his almond-shaped eyes filled with trance and complexity.
