Chapter 197 She didn't betray me, did she?
All blind self-confidence stems from ignorance; perhaps it could also be said that she took herself too seriously.
Ruan Mianmian cried out in the darkness. She couldn't understand why, despite her wholehearted devotion to Song Heng, she couldn't win even a sliver of his affection.
On the contrary, Xia Zhen fell in love with someone else and abandoned him, but he still couldn't forget her?
Ruan Mianmian finally lost control and shouted, "Song Heng! You have no heart!"
In the pitch-black surroundings, a boy's laughter drifted out, "Don't I have a heart?"
She cried out, "I've done so much for you, just to protect you and change your fate. There will never be anyone in this world who loves you more than I do!"
yes.
She went to great lengths to give him a second chance in order to change his tragic fate. If it weren't for her, he would have been kicked out of the Song family long ago.
He will not become the heir of the Song family, nor will he be the high-ranking and popular young master of the Song family. Everything he has will be taken away by Mu Zhijing, that illegitimate son.
She changed everything!
"It seems you've been moved by your own words," Song Heng chuckled softly. "Did I beg you to do all those things you claimed to have done for me?"
His voice was laced with sarcasm.
Ruan Mianmian said she liked him and that she had sacrificed a lot for him behind the scenes, but what good was all that?
Song Heng asked slowly, "Or do you want me to be grateful to you now and regard you as the only one in my life?"
He spoke in a softer voice and a slower tone, as if he were talking to a clown.
Ruan Mianmian was slightly lost in thought.
She had considered that if Song Heng knew how much she had done for him, he might be like the male lead in a novel or TV series, deeply moved by the girl who had put in so much effort for him, and fall in love with her.
Then he would cherish her dearly and love her dearly.
Ruan Mianmian has always been an inconspicuous person. When Xia Zhen is around, Song Heng's attention will only be on Xia Zhen. Later, Xia Zhen transferred schools, but Song Heng's attention then fell on Tang Susu.
But one day, when she was bound to the system, wasn't that God telling her that she was the chosen one?
She had fantasized many times that after Song Heng learned of her efforts, he might feel that he had not been abandoned by the world, and that she would help him regain his hope for life.
Instead of like it is now...
Like now, she has been kidnapped.
He was not moved by her efforts at all, as if everything she did was a joke in his eyes.
She believed herself to be like the protagonist in a novel, possessing a system, and that she was the chosen one by heaven. But that so-called system was nothing more than an emotionless machine.
Ruan Mianmian finally lost all hope, and she choked out a sob.
Song Heng waited for so many days, but the system never appeared, and he completely lost patience.
The sound of the door opening rang out, letting in a sliver of light.
Ruan Mianmian wearily raised her head and saw the boy's tall and thin figure.
He slowly walked into the darkness, the utility knife in his hand occasionally making a screeching sound as it slid up and down, which was even more unbearable in this already tense environment.
"It seems that the system you mentioned doesn't care whether you live or die."
Ruan Mianmian was tense all over. If she used to regard Song Heng as someone she had to save, now in her eyes, Song Heng was a complete madman!
She was weak all over, but she still desperately tried to shrink into the corner. "No... Song Heng, please let me go... I really never thought of hurting you!"
That's the truth.
However, sometimes ignorance is also a mistake.
Song Heng chuckled softly. He didn't look at Ruan Mianmian, but stared at the darkness before him, and slowly said, "I guess after you chose this woman as your host, you couldn't choose to sever ties with her and find a second host before completing the task she gave me to win her over."
In the darkness, no one answered him.
"Conquer me? That's really interesting." Song Heng lowered his eyes slightly. "It's as if I'm just a character in a game, and my life is just waiting to be controlled by you. But it doesn't matter. Whether this world is a game or what you call a novel, I'm not your puppet, and I will never follow the trajectory you've set."
Song Heng slowly approached the panicked person huddled in the corner. "I'm really curious, you've bound yourself to this woman, but she hasn't completed her mission. So, what will become of you?"
If this system can switch hosts at will, then when it realizes that Ruan Mianmian has no chance of winning over Song Heng, it will choose to give up on Ruan Mianmian.
But the fact that Ruan Mianmian was talking to herself so frantically just now means that the system she mentioned is still in contact with her.
Song Heng's lips curled up. "This woman said I'm crazy. After your mission failed, is your final fate even worse than that of a madman like me?"
He bent down, grabbed Ruan Mianmian by the collar with one hand and lifted her up, while the utility knife in his other hand gleamed coldly in the darkness.
Ruan Mianmian was trembling all over; she had almost no strength left to cry.
She always felt she would remember that rainy day and how gentle the boy holding the cat looked as he held an umbrella for her.
She also longed for that tenderness.
However, now, that image has become blurry in her mind.
Now, what she saw was a chilling madness emanating from the boy's handsome face.
System: [Even if you weren't a puppet, you ultimately met the same fate—a fate you chose yourself, which now seems even more ironic.]
The words suddenly popped into her mind, and Ruan Mianmian's pale face paused slightly.
Song Heng stared intently at Ruan Mianmian's face and smiled, "It seems it's willing to talk to me now. What did it say?"
Ruan Mianmian repeated what the system had said, her voice trembling.
Song Heng's eyes darkened. "Was what I saw real? Did you deliberately manipulate her to go after Mu Zhijing, or did you deliberately create an illusion in front of me? She didn't betray me, did she?"
Ruan Mianmian's expression changed again.
Song Heng: "Speak."
Ruan Mianmian stammered, "It said...it said the answers to these questions don't matter, because you've already...you've already chosen to believe."
Song Heng's expression froze, momentarily lost in a nameless confusion. After a long while, he lowered his eyelids slightly and stubbornly repeated the question, "She didn't betray me, did she?"
