Chapter 27 Mirror Lake: Facing the Ugliness in Your Heart 1
The mist is rolling and the water is like a mirror.
The three of them stood by the lake.
Their shadows were gradually pulled apart.
It was as if an invisible force forcibly pulled their consciousness out and threw it into the lake.
The first one to be caught up in the inner confession was Noson.
He saw countless images reflected on the lake.
Ai Zhe was laughing, running, and standing shoulder to shoulder with him on the court.
They finished playing ball side by side, panting and laughing, and walked out holding hands.
Youth is overflowing and passionate, as if it will never end.
But those images were quickly torn apart, leaving only one scene:
There was only me and Ai Zhe left on the court.
The hands that were just sweetly holding each other were released the next second due to an argument.
He felt a little flustered, because he clearly liked Ai Zhe.
But I am afraid of losing my dignity.
So I always say some sarcastic words.
Pushing Ai Zhe out, hurting him badly.
"I can give you everything you want."
"Am I not good enough as I am now?"
He looked at Ai Zhe who turned and left, and couldn't help shouting.
Northam watched the scene of his inner confession playing out on the other side of the air wall.
Started to murmur:
"Because I like him too much, I care too much. I always say hurtful things to him unconsciously, but I ignore Ai Zhe's true feelings."
Suddenly, a voice from the lake sounded, cold and ethereal:
"It's not ugly. It's just obsession, the fear of gain and loss, which makes you take everything for granted."
"Because of your obsession, you hurt him again and again, without even realizing it."
"But your obsession and selfish desires are the purest and most innocent."
Noson's body trembled and his face darkened.
At the same time, Ai Zhe was also drawn into the mirror image of his own selfish desires.
The lake reflected the small bottle he held tightly in his arms.
There are two tears in the bottle.
He stared at the bottle, his fingers trembling slightly.
This is the key to breaking the evil spell.
But the next second, a cold voice came from the Mirror Lake:
“Aizhe, after you took the tears, you wanted to cut off contact with them.”
"You are not responsible for them."
"You try your best to make them more devoted to you, to ensure that you can get 100% of their pure tears."
"Yet you're secretly planning to get the tears. How are you going to hide from them after the evil spell is broken?"
"How to treat them coldly and no longer be responsible for their love."
Ai Zhe's body shook as if he had been stabbed.
"This is what people call a 'scumbag'."
The scene suddenly changed.
Noson gave it his all on the basketball court.
Xiao Ai was sweating all over in front of the football goal.
But their eyes were confused, as if they were looking for someone.
Then, they saw themselves behind the wall of air.
"Aizhe, don't go. I don't know what I did wrong. I will learn and change... Don't hide from me anymore. I haven't seen you in a few days..."
"Senior, I miss you so much, I really want to see you, I haven't seen you for several days... Where have you been..."
The next scene shows him turning and leaving.
He put the bottle in his arms and didn't look back.
Ai Zhe's breathing suddenly stopped.
The surface of the lake continued to reveal itself.
"You just want to collect your tears and then walk away."
"They truly love you, but you plan to use them and then dump them."
Ai Zhe lowered his head and his Adam's apple rolled.
"No... I just... I don't want to implicate them..."
But the voice from the lake coldly asked:
"Really? Do you believe that?"
"Are you sure you're ready for a long-term relationship with them?"
"You may not know how painful it is to truly like someone, but when that person gets something from you, they start to avoid you and treat you coldly."
"Deep down in your heart, you want to treat them like this."
"You plan to get the tears, regain your Alpha status, and then find a way to restore your previous relationship with them."
"Ordinary teammates, ordinary classmates, ordinary seniors and juniors...without the slightest emotion..."
"This is the most selfish thought in your heart, you know that?"
Ai Zhe's deepest thoughts were revealed.
My heart felt like it was being cut open by a knife.
His face was pale and his chest was heaving violently.
It turns out that I have always had this idea in my mind.
Once the tears are collected and the mission is completed, you can pretend nothing happened.
He even fantasized that he could continue to live the life of an Alpha.
No need to deal with complicated emotions.
But Jinghu ruthlessly exposed this:
"You are selfish."
"They love you, but you want to leave."
"You have to understand that tears are proof of their sincerity and are very precious. You should treat their tears and sincerity well."
Ai Zhe closed his eyes, his heart trembling.
He suddenly remembered that although Northen was a bad-mouthed person, he had done everything for him silently.
He recalled how Northam had been his spy when he skipped classes time and again.
Although he looks nonchalant on the surface, he actually completes every task seriously, for fear of being punished.
Every holiday or my birthday, Northen always sends me gifts.
But he was very stubborn and said that it was just extra stuff in his house.
Because every time I accept it, I always put it aside casually.
Northen would lower his head for a moment and feel lost for a moment.
Then he raised it again and put on an even more provocative expression to cover it up.
I remember that when being reprimanded by school security guards and administrators, Northam was always the first to stand up.
Whenever there is danger, he is always the first to notice it and rush over.
But afterwards, I always argue with myself and use quarrels to cover up my panic.
Because Northen has never been confident enough.
Ai Zhe remembered again that Xiao Ai, with red ears, clumsily imitated human cooking methods and fed him the caramel fruit.
He also tried hard to learn how to use spider silk to weave coats and pants for himself.
Xiao Ai tried hard to follow the rules of the human world and made things for him bit by bit.
I remember that in this dream, Xiao Ai was attacked and his eyes were blurry, but he still rushed to protect himself regardless of everything.
Ai Zhe's chest felt like it was burning on fire.
He murmured softly:
"sorry……"
What is not well known is that...
On the other hand, Xiao Ai's world is even darker.
Ripples appeared on the surface of the lake.
He was pulled into a huge spider's nest.
This is where he, as a spider-species, should live.
He and his parents return here regularly every month.
Together they manage the huge spider nest.
This is their country.
The picture was so real that it was terrifying, almost completely restoring his hometown.
The air was humid and countless low roars echoed around.
In the center of the nest, Ai Zhe's naked body was entangled in thick spider silk.
He lay quietly on a soft spiderweb bed.
His eyes were flustered and his cheeks were flushed.
His own figure appeared beside him.
In the mirror image, I am no longer that young boy.
But it was the Spider King with white hair and golden pupils.
He reached out and held Ai Zhe in his arms.
Feel the warmth and trembling of the person in your arms.
He was very excited and spit out spider silk.
It was something in the back of his mind, something he had always fantasized about.
Something he had been “planning” for.
His selfish desires.
At that moment, all the spiders in the spider nest let out sharp chirps.
It was as if they were celebrating the successful abduction of the "Princess".
Xiao Ai was breathing rapidly and his heart felt like it was about to explode.
"This... this is fine... As long as you stay in my nest, you will never leave me."
"I want you to call my name..."
