Chapter 43 Have you told Chi Cheng?
The smell of disinfectant mixed with a hint of medicine lingers.
Wu Suowei lay on his back on the small bed, staring at the ceiling.
His eyes felt dry and swollen. He blinked hard, but it didn't relieve the pain; instead, it made it worse.
His mind was like a mess. Chi Cheng's tearful face, the heart-wrenching "I love you", and the words "I can't live without you" made him uneasy.
Fuck! He pounded the bed so hard that the bed frame creaked.
He was angry at Chi Cheng! He was angry that he clearly remembered everything, clearly knew how he died in his previous life, yet he still had to pretend.
He also teamed up with Guo Chengyu, Yue Yue and even Jiang Xiaoshuai to plot against him.
Watching him being played around like a fool, watching him get jealous, watching him make a fool of himself, what was this? Making up?
Or was it another form of toy? Was his greatest fear and shadow after his rebirth just a joke in Chi Cheng's eyes?
Deeper inside is the grudge that cannot be ignored - Huang Long.
The feeling of suffocation it brings to the body and the despair of being on the verge of death are scars engraved in the soul.
Chi Cheng...even if he feels pain and regret...can that crack really be easily healed?
Wu Suowei covered his head with a pillow in annoyance, trying to block out those chaotic thoughts, but it was in vain.
My heart felt blocked, sour and bitter, and there was an indescribable fatigue.
The door was gently pushed open a crack, and Jiang Xiaoshuai poked his head in with a cautious smile on his face: "Are you still awake? Did I disturb you?"
Wu Suowei didn't move, nor did he look at him. His voice was a little hoarse: "I'm not asleep. You walk like a cat, and you disturbed me everywhere."
The sound is muffled.
Jiang Xiaoshuai slipped in and closed the door behind him.
He dragged a chair over to sit beside the bed, and in the dim streetlight coming through the window, he looked at Wu Suowei's tense profile. "...Are you still angry?"
"Who am I angry with? I'm angry with myself!" Wu Suowei sat up suddenly, and his movement was so big that the bed made another noise.
He scratched his hair in frustration, "I'm such an idiot! A complete idiot! Being cheated once wasn't enough, I even took the initiative to get cheated again! Chi Cheng..."
He choked, his chest felt tight, and his mind went back to the last few seconds of darkness in his previous life, making it difficult for him to breathe.
Jiang Xiaoshuai looked at his red eyes and felt uncomfortable. He sighed, "Guo Chengyu... told me everything."
Wu Suowei turned his head sharply and stared at Jiang Xiaoshuai: "What did he say?"
"Speaking of Chi Cheng back then..." Jiang Xiaoshuai chose his words carefully, "It was quite difficult. Those 'lies', he said Chi Cheng was just... he just couldn't bring himself to do it, but he wanted to see you, so he was so stupid that he came up with that awful idea to lure you to him."
Wu Suowei sneered, his voice trembling. "Stupid? How clever is Chi Cheng! He played me around like a monkey! Is he uncomfortable? Is he uncomfortable because he played me like a monkey? What about me? I'm dead! I was strangled to death by his snake! Do you know what that feels like?"
He pointed at his neck, his fingertips trembling. "I can't breathe! My bones are about to break! My vision is black! Finally, I can't feel a thing! Can Chi Cheng just say 'I don't know' or 'stupid' and it all go away?"
Jiang Xiaoshuai was shocked by his intense reaction and was speechless for a moment.
After a long while, he whispered, "What about you?"
"Me what?" Wu Suowei said unhappily.
"Have you told Chi Cheng about your rebirth?" Jiang Xiaoshuai looked into his eyes and said slowly.
Wu Suowei was stunned, as if he was choked by something.
He opened his mouth, but no sound came out.
Tell him?
Should I tell him I died once? Should I tell him I died at the hands of his snake? Should I tell him I came back to avoid him?
...How can I ask him? Will he believe me?
Still think I'm crazy?
The fears and uncertainties that had been deliberately suppressed to the bottom surfaced again.
He turned his face away irritably: "...No."
"Yeah," Jiang Xiaoshuai's voice calmed down. "You didn't tell me, maybe... Chi Cheng didn't know at the time? Maybe he thought you were just afraid of him, so you were hiding? What good tricks could he come up with?"
"You can't be colluding with me like this!" Wu Suowei raised his voice, angrily embarrassed by being hit in the heart. "And you! Jiang Xiaoshuai! Did you know this a long time ago? You and the other two colluded to hide this from me!"
"I'm doing this for your own good..." Jiang Xiaoshuai said with an apologetic smile, "You've been having trouble eating or sleeping these past few days, and you almost bumped into a telephone pole while walking. It hurts me so much to see you like that! When Guo Chengyu told me about it, I scolded him too! But...but with Chi Cheng like that, Guo Chengyu said he was driving himself crazy! I was just thinking...thinking that if you could talk it out..."
"For my own good? For my own good means watching me being kept in the dark like a fool?" Wu Suowei interrupted him, but his voice lowered, with a bit of fatigue and confusion.
He stared at his clenched fists, his knuckles turning white.
Yes, ever since I was reborn, I have been thinking about how to avoid Chi Cheng these days, but I am like a love-brained person and I am not doing my best. I am living like a walking corpse.
Chi Cheng...that bastard Chi Cheng...
The room fell silent, with only the slightly heavy breathing of the two people.
Wu Suowei suddenly raised his head, staring at Jiang Xiaoshuai, his voice dry: "What about... Huang Long? Did Guo Chengyu tell you about it? Chi Cheng... Chi Cheng at that time..."
His throat rolled, and he couldn't bring himself to ask the rest of the question.
That snake was Chi Cheng's favorite and also Wu Suowei's nightmare.
Jiang Xiaoshuai's expression instantly became complicated, with a hint of heaviness and... a barely perceptible sigh.
He nodded and said softly, "He said, Guo Chengyu said...Chi Cheng was..."
He paused, as if he needed some strength to speak, "...He killed Huang Long."
He suddenly opened his eyes wide and looked at Jiang Xiaoshuai in disbelief: "...What? Killed? He killed Huang Long...?"
"Yes," Jiang Xiaoshuai nodded affirmatively, his face expressionless. "That's when... Guo Chengyu saw it with his own eyes. He said that Chi Cheng... was like a devil crawling out of hell. He broke free from your hand and stabbed you."
Jiang Xiaoshuai's voice was a little shaky, "...It's a pity...I still couldn't save you in the end..."
Wu Suowei was stunned.
How is this possible?
Chi Cheng has always regarded snakes as more important than himself. At that time, he used all means to seize the snakes for his father!
What's more...isn't it said to have a more special meaning to him?
That's Huang Long?!
How could he bear to do that? !
Wu Suowei's mind went blank.
Is it for... me?
It turns out that he never gave up on me at that time...
An indescribable feeling of soreness and swelling suddenly rushed into my nasal cavity, and my eyes became hot instantly.
He bit his lower lip hard to prevent the wetness from falling out.
Damn! Chi Cheng, you are sick!
Jiang Xiaoshuai felt even more uncomfortable when he saw his face turn pale instantly and his shoulders trembling slightly.
He leaned forward, his voice extremely low, cautiously probing: "Dawei... at that time... it must have been very painful, right?"
Wu Suowei seemed not to hear anything and froze.
After a long, long time, so long that Jiang Xiaoshuai thought he would not answer, he heard a very light, very hoarse sound, almost squeezed out from the depths of his throat.
“…It doesn’t hurt anymore…”
