Chapter 70: Affordable!
Night falls, and all is quiet. But in Qi Shaoyou's dreams, it's a completely different scene.
The small room had no tables, chairs, or beds; instead, it was littered with scattered drawing papers. Qi Shaoyou was being held against the wall by the neck by Su Yan, and he wore a very happy smile.
"What are you laughing at?" Su Yan, her nails painted bright red, gently stroked Qi Shaoyou's face from his fair neck.
"Of course I'm happy to see my sister." Qi Shaoyou took Su Yan's hand and gently kissed it.
Su Yan felt a tremor in her heart. She had forgotten that Qi Shaoyou was never afraid of her threats. Qi Shaoyou was only afraid of her tears, her pain, and her sorrow.
"Does it hurt? Qi Shaoyou..." Su Yan nestled in Qi Shaoyou's arms, two crystal-clear tears falling from the corners of her eyes.
Seemingly not expecting Su Yan to say this, Qi Shaoyou shook his head while touching Su Yan's warm hands.
"It doesn't hurt, sister, it doesn't hurt." Qi Shaoyou's voice softened, sounding less like she was saying it didn't hurt and more like she was coaxing Su Yan. It was as if she was saying, "Sister, I'm not in pain, so you can't feel pain because I am."
"Liar, Qi Shaoyou, you're a complete liar." Large tears streamed down Su Yan's face.
"How could it not hurt! I heard the news of your death, how could it not hurt when I was ripped open!" Large tears fell from Su Yan's eyes onto Qi Shaoyou's white shirt.
"How could you bear to leave me? Qi Shaoyou? How could you still lie to me and say it doesn't hurt even now!" Su Yan sat on Qi Shaoyou's lap, crying so hard that her whole body was trembling.
"Didn't you already know? Qi Shaoyou, didn't you already know that we were inseparable? Inseparable even in life and death, how could you do such a cruel thing?"
"Do you know how much pain I was in when I heard this news? Why don't you take me with you! Why don't you take me with you!" Su Yan trembled uncontrollably. She was visibly terrified, her fear reaching its peak.
"I didn't..." Qi Shaoyou had someone conceal the true cause of his death. She never imagined that Su Yan would hear the wrong information and think it was the cause of her death.
"The person you heard wasn't me." After Qi Shaoyou finished speaking, Su Yan looked up at her in her arms and asked her with a pained expression.
"Then what about you! Tell me! Tell me exactly when you left me!" Su Yan grabbed Qi Shaoyou's collar, her face contorted with pain.
"Sister, do you really have to listen? Even if it makes you sad?" Qi Shaoyou said helplessly, gently wiping away Su Yan's tears.
As scalding tears fell into Qi Shaoyou's palm, her heart was also unable to remain calm.
“Tell me, otherwise I will never be able to let go.”
"Qi Shaoyou, didn't you say you'd do anything as long as I live a good life? Tell me!" Su Yan's sobs lingered on every word she spoke, and she looked at Qi Shaoyou's face with an unprecedented sense of bewilderment and helplessness.
"Give me an ending, Qi Shaoyou, you can't be so heartless! At least tell me the truth!" Su Yan's face turned deathly pale, the only burning sensation being the tears that kept rolling down her face.
"When you left Chuncheng, the bridge was destroyed after you crossed it." Qi Shaoyou didn't finish his sentence, and Su Yan swayed.
"You sent people to blow it up to intercept the pursuers..."
Su Yan shook her head, a sense of despair spreading through her.
"No, you're not the kind of person who would risk someone else's life to save me."
"Qi Shaoyou... Qi Shaoyou... you're the one who blew it up... you blew it up with your own body..."
Su Yan couldn't bear the truth; she felt like she was going crazy.
"How painful! Qi Shaoyou! How painful!" Su Yan finally understood why she felt a sudden, excruciating heartache when she left that city.
"You lied to me! You lied to me and said you had already escaped!" Su Yan felt as if her heart had been ripped open once again.
Qi Shaoyou hugged Su Yan tightly, a hug stronger than usual, which caused her some slight pain.
This slight pain allowed Su Yan to find some relief from her heartache.
Bright red fingernails gripped Qi Shaoyou's white shirt tightly, causing the white shirt to wrinkle into a ball.
Su Yan began to suffer from the very beginning when she learned that only by finding out the true cause of Qi Shaoyou's death could she possibly save him.
If the cause of death she heard was a lie, how painful would the truth be...?
Part of the reason she refused to share her memories with Su Yan in this world was that she was punishing herself in a way that was almost self-destructive.
She hated the person who killed Qi Shaoyou, but she also hated herself.
"How could you do this to me! Qi Shaoyou!" Su Yan felt the person in her arms and couldn't stop trembling.
How could you say you love me and then kill the person I love most?!
Qi Shaoyou gently stroked Su Yan's back; she certainly didn't want to be separated from her lover either.
However, if he hadn't blown up the bridge at that time, Su Yan would definitely have been captured and tortured by the other villains.
"Love is dedication and sacrifice, but it is also torment and pain. Love is not simply heaven, but rather the gap between heaven and hell."
"At a certain time, you will feel whichever side the wind blows from."
"Sister, you won't suffer because of these things anymore. You will have true happiness, and I'm so unwilling to be a part of that happiness without me."
"However, I am also very happy for your happiness."
Qi Shaoyou felt his lover's trembling, and she knew it all too well.
Every choice she made was a form of torture for the people she loved. She felt guilty, and guilt seeped into every bone of her body in the dead of night.
However, she has no regrets no matter what.
With tears in her eyes, Su Yan fiercely kissed Qi Shaoyou's lips. It was less of a kiss and more like a bite.
The thirty-second kiss left their lips stained bright red. When they parted, Su Yan's usually cool and aloof face was now alluringly flushed.
The distance and duration of a kiss completely changed Su Yan.
"Why did you leave me! You know perfectly well that without you, this world is nothing but hell for me. And you still lied to me!"
"No, Su Yan. From now on, your world will no longer be hell, whether I'm here or not. Everything will change, and the curse on my sister will be broken." Qi Shaoyou kissed Su Yan's furrowed brows, then her nose, and finally her lips, which were stained bright red.
The gentle, delicate kisses were like a soothing breeze, calming Su Yan's pain.
"Don't leave me...don't leave me..." Su Yan returned the kiss, confirming the other's presence with kisses again and again.
Qi Shaoyou didn't speak. She used her hands to warm Su Yan's body temperature little by little and her lips to warm Su Yan's somewhat cold body.
She simply stirred the pool of spring water with her hand, and watched the ripples spread out in circles, creating a beautiful sight.
She will no longer make promises she cannot keep.
Su Yan's heart felt like it had been thrown into an iceberg, and only Qi Shaoyou's kiss could carry her little by little from that desolate iceberg back to the human world.
The warmth of human kindness was the final gift her lover gave her.
Su Yan still couldn't stop crying, her sobs were much quieter than before but still a little more turbulent.
Qi Shaoyou's ear was twisted, and it turned a little pink from the force.
"You lied to me! You lied to me!" Su Yan cried as she pinched her.
Having tasted the rose dew, Qi Shaoyou was unwilling to stop. She kissed Su Yan's lips and drew the sweet dew from them.
After tonight, her sister, who had once shared life and death with her, would never remember her again.
Their lives never intersected again.
Yes, she's a liar and a bastard. But how could she bear to give up all that love?
However, no matter how reluctant you are, you have to let go.
"Sister, I'm sorry..."
Qi Shaoyou finally released Su Yan, whose body had gone limp, and gently looked at her as she apologized.
Su Yan looked at Qi Shaoyou; his normally handsome features now resembled watered flowers with water stains on them.
"Then you can't touch my memories!" Su Yan made her request, but Qi Shaoyou shook his head and refused.
In the chaos, Qi Shaoyou's white shirt collar had been opened.
The fair and delicate collarbone was marred by a bite mark the next second because of the owner's lack of awareness.
Perhaps because it was her first time biting, Su Yan didn't dare to bite too hard and only left a shallow bite mark.
Seeing that Qi Shaoyou's expression didn't change at all, Su Yan immediately added another fresh bite mark.
"Hiss..." This time Qi Shaoyou was really hurt by the bite, and she smiled helplessly.
She always feels sorry for her older sister, but if pushed too far, she might turn on herself.
"Will this make you feel better? After all, it was my fault. Sister, you should take a few more bites." Qi Shaoyou looked at Su Yan with a gentle smile on his face.
Su Yan had just let go when Qi Shaoyou grabbed her neck and kissed her.
Yes, others might not know, but Su Yan knew very well that Qi Shaoyou, who grew up with her, was an absolute villain.
Her usual tactic is to first put on a pitiful act, and then bite back.
"You only call me 'sister' but you never listen to me!" Su Yan said angrily, but then she heard Qi Shaoyou retort.
"It's not just that..."
"It will also make my sister..."
Su Yan tried to shut her mouth, but was instead dragged around and rubbed hard.
Roses are beautiful no matter what; they are beautiful when in full bloom, and they also have a unique charm when they are knocked down by the rain.
The roses, glistening with dew, were even more beautiful, making Qi Shaoyou especially eager to taste the dew on their petals.
"Sister, please indulge me just this once?" Qi Shaoyou's voice was low, as if he were praying to his god.
She longed to stay by her sister's side, but she couldn't. She had things she had to do.
If they don't do this, more female protagonists will be tormented by the system. Her sister will either be thrown into another world or become a mission taker.
Qi Shaoyou would become the best noose around Su Yan's neck. Their love would become a shackle for Su Yan's entire life.
In any case, Qi Shaoyou would not allow such a thing to happen.
"I'm sorry, sister..."
Qi Shaoyou whispered his apology in Su Yan's ear, speaking very carefully, word by word.
Only Su Yan knew that her caution was merely lip service.
She looked at that face, crying as she made a vow in her heart.
Qi Shaoyou, don't even think about leaving me. From the moment you called me "sister," you've had no chance of leaving.
No matter who she teams up with, no matter what the cost, she can afford it, she definitely can afford it!
