Chapter 386 Who is it
Ignoring the debris, Gong Cheng rushed forward and knelt in front of Tao Zhi. He reached out and grabbed Tao Zhi's arm which was already stained with blood and was about to check his injury, but was pushed away by Tao Zhi who screamed.
"Get away, get away, you are all liars, don't touch me!"
Gong Cheng staggered back, then rushed forward and hugged Tao Zhi tightly in his arms. Tao Zhi cried and struggled and pushed away, but Gong Cheng hugged him tighter and pressed Tao Zhi's head into his chest. The man in his arms' shoulders shook violently.
"Sir, I'm Gong Cheng. Look at me. I'm Gong Cheng. What's wrong with you? What happened?"
Gong Cheng was extremely panicked. The gentleman was fine before he came into the room. Why did he suddenly become so hysterical and out of control?
Tao Zhi couldn't break free from Gong Cheng's arms and could only cry and wail in Gong Cheng's arms. Then he put his trembling hands around Gong Cheng's waist and buried his head deeper.
"Gong Cheng, what should I do? I don't know what to do."
"I don't have a mother anymore. I don't have a mother anymore."
Gong Cheng was puzzled when he heard this. Didn’t the gentleman’s mother die when he was very young? Why did my husband suddenly break down like this because of my mother's death?
"I thought she would wait for me to come back. I have been working very hard to complete the task. I still have half a year left. I can go home in half a year."
"But she doesn't want me anymore. She left me and I don't have a mother anymore."
"She loves me so much, why would she not want me?"
"It's only a matter of waiting for three more months. Dad will be able to make money in three months and everything will be fine. But she doesn't want anything."
Tao Zhi's fragmented and messy words were wrapped in crying voice. Gong Cheng couldn't hear it very clearly, but he roughly heard the content.
But these contents do not match Mr. Lu's family situation at all. Mr. Lu's mother died of illness when he was a child. Who is the mother Mr. Lu is talking about now?
And what is the mission he is talking about? What is this half-year period?
I will be going back in half a year. Where should I go?
What is he talking about?
Gong Cheng didn't understand what Tao Zhi said, but he was getting more and more scared. It was the fear of the unknown, as if there was something important that he could never grasp.
I had this feeling a long time ago. That year, when Gu Dongnan returned to China, my husband suddenly broke down after eating hot pot and said something that I couldn't understand.
And after that, many, many things were slowly changing, and the situation evolved beyond my control.
Finally it collapsed, and everything became irreversible.
Gong Cheng hugged Tao Zhi tighter, as if he was afraid that the person in his arms would disappear.
"Tell me what I should do, please?"
"My mother is dead, what should I do?"
"I don't want to leave here. I don't want to go home. I don't want to go back to a home without my mother."
"Aren't you the protagonist? Isn't the protagonist omnipotent? You can save me, right? Save me, Gong Cheng."
Tao Zhi grabbed Gong Cheng's collar absentmindedly, as if he was the only life-saving straw, and the blood from his palm dyed Gong Cheng's collar red.
"I don't want to wake up from this dream and lose the relatives and friends I stole."
"Even if it's a false dream or cold words, I want to stay here, I want to stay here forever."
"Gong Cheng, I don't want to leave you."
"But why do you have to be the protagonist, and I have to be the one who is destined to have a bad ending, Tao Zhi?"
"Save me, Gong Cheng."
After he finished speaking, Tao Zhi leaned his head weakly on Gong Cheng's chest, tears streaming down his face, and he looked extremely miserable.
Gong Cheng's mind was in a mess.
It's the word "protagonist" again. The gentleman mentioned it casually as a joke before, but what does he mean by "protagonist" now?
"What do you mean I'm the protagonist?"
"What do you mean... you can't have a good end?"
"You left me with so many questions, but you never wanted to tell me anything."
"If possible, can you tell me all these things I don't know? We can figure it out together."
"I will always be by your side as long as you want me to."
"If you don't want to go home, we can buy a house in a city you like so that no one can find us."
"It's just the two of us. We're not going back or going anywhere. We're just staying in our own home, okay?" Gong Cheng's voice was extremely gentle.
Tao Zhi bit his lower lip until it bled.
"It's useless. The ending is predetermined. You will be happily together with Gu Dongnan, and I will die according to the plot." Tao Zhi cried.
"I don't understand, I don't understand sir."
"What do you mean by the ending? What do you mean I will be with Gu Dongnan, and what do you mean you will die?"
"Where is the home you are referring to?"
"I won't fall in love with Gu Dongnan. You are healthy and you won't die. I will stay here and won't go anywhere."
"I will never leave you, nor will I let you go where I can't find you."
"No one will force you to leave, and no one will separate us."
"What is the secret you have been hiding in your heart and don't want to tell me since the beginning?"
"What is the reason that makes you push me away again and again even though you clearly love me?"
Gong Cheng's eyes were bloodshot, the corners of his eyes were wet and red, tears poured down uncontrollably, and he didn't care that his knee was pierced by broken glass.
Tao Zhi's chest was heaving violently, and his breathing was so rapid that he could hardly breathe, but at this moment he inexplicably calmed down.
Tao Zhi stretched out his hand to Gong Cheng's cheek, and the blood in his palm mixed with the tears on his cheek and dripped down, staining Gong Cheng's clothes red.
Tao Zhi's expression was empty and powerless, and the starlight in his eyes shattered and fell. The flow of love was no longer forced to be concealed, but turned into the gentleness of fingertips, caressing the face of the lover in front of him.
Perhaps, I was wrong from the beginning.
I should have known that we were destined not to be together, but I still coveted you in a despicable way, hoping that I could be lucky just once.
Until now, I still covet you under the guise of mission.
The love in your eyes is so obvious, but I still pretend to be blind and deceive myself.
I should have known earlier that there was no way someone like me could be lucky enough to keep something that didn't belong to me.
Tao Zhi's hands dropped down, his hair scattered in front of his forehead, and his drooping eyelashes hid the sadness in his eyes.
"Gong Cheng, I really thought I could control the direction of everything, but I can't control myself from loving you."
"I can't be so selfish as to sacrifice everything here to be with you for a short time."
"Everything will eventually go as it says it will."
Upon hearing this, Gong Cheng almost instinctively held Tao Zhi's face with his hands and randomly dropped broken kisses on Tao Zhi's face and lips, but he couldn't help but his lips trembling, and bitter tears wrapped in sobs spread between his lips and teeth.
Gong Cheng helplessly pressed his forehead against Tao Zhi's, tears streaming down his face. Neither of them was in a better state.
"Who is this "it" you are talking about?"
"Tell me, please." Gong Cheng said in a crying voice.
There was pain and confusion in Tao Zhi's eyes, and he finally gritted his teeth and spoke.
The voice was trembling and broken, almost inaudible.
"System, Fanfan." he said.
As soon as he finished speaking, Tao Zhi's pupils constricted and his face turned pale.
