Phantom laughed at himself bitterly and shook his head slowly. "Tongtong, if I told you, I believe you would be willing to elope with me to the ends of the earth. But, this means that we have to bear the pursuit order issued by the organization for the rest of our lives. We have to hide for the rest of our lives. Living in hiding. Are you willing to live such a life? Finally living in fear. Hiding day and night. You have to avoid the pursuit of assassins anytime and anywhere. Even if you are willing, how can I bear to let you follow me? Let's live such a precarious life together. Tongtong. I love you. I just hope you can be as happy as an ordinary girl and enjoy the life that an ordinary girl should enjoy. I just want to see you be as happy as an ordinary girl. Smiling happily. Since one of you and me is destined to die, then let me die. If my life can exchange for your peace..."
"Ye Mei. What qualifications do you have to selfishly decide for me?"
Xue Xichen bit her lip angrily. She couldn't tell whether she was moved or angry. She stamped her feet and said angrily, "Ye Mei, you selfishly think that you can solve everything if you die and you can exchange for my peaceful life. But .Have you ever thought about how I lived a life of a walking zombie after killing you with my own hands? Ye Mei, you once gave me the happiest love. But, you selfishly snatched this love away from me. Let’s go. Have you ever experienced the feeling of falling from heaven to hell in an instant? It’s worse than death.”
Phantom held his chest. His breathing was erratic. His chest was tight and painful. He knew that his heart was bleeding. His heart was weeping. He tried hard to suppress this extremely painful feeling, but could not hide the trembling in his voice. " Tongtong. I admit that I am selfish. Ye Mei has been proud and unruly all his life. If he wants to die, he can only die in the hands of the woman he loves. Tongtong. I'm sorry. I never thought about what I would do to you. The hurt. I just selfishly hope that you can remember me for the rest of your life... Never forget this man called 'Ye Mei'..."
Xue Xichen stroked her forehead and smiled bitterly. She shook her head mockingly. She didn't know whether she was laughing at Ye Mei for being stupid or at herself for being naive. She said bitterly: "Ye Mei, you are really selfish. How can I kill you?" It was better than being betrayed by the one I loved and forcing myself to kill the one I loved most. During that time, I was like a walking zombie. Living was actually the same as dying... At that time, Xue Meitong had no soul at all. .Perhaps the soul has already been buried deep in the loess with Ye Mei's death... I am actually quite grateful to fate for allowing me to travel through time and come here, to start over..."
Phantom stared deeply at Xue Xichen and said sincerely and affectionately: "Tongtong, I am also grateful to fate for allowing me to meet you again..." His eyes were passionate and deep, and every word was spoken from the bottom of his heart.
Xue Xichen turned her face sideways, hiding her surging expression. She refused expressionlessly. "Ye Mei. I am no longer the Xue Mei Tong I used to be."
"I know……"
Back then, Xue Mei Tong only had Ye Mei in her heart; but now, Xue Mei Tong only has Feng Qingge in her heart.
Phantom shook his head laughing at himself. He tasted a bitter taste in his mouth. The evil fruit he had sown back then. Today it was finally his turn to taste it...
Retribution. This is his retribution.
"Tongtong. I don't expect to be forgiven by you..."
In fact, when I recognized you as the Xue Meitong from back then, I no longer had the qualification to ask for your forgiveness. The sins I committed back then were pain that I could never make up for in my life. In this life, as long as I can see you live well If I live well and live happily, I am satisfied.
real.
As long as you are happy.
"I won't forgive you."
She spoke heartless words, but Xue Xichen's heart felt like it was cut by a thousand knives. She was in great pain. Tears could not be suppressed. She rolled the corners of her eyes. She blinked hard and tried to squeeze back. A string of glistening tears.
Night charm... phantom...
Phantom... Night Phantom...
One was her lover in her previous life, and the other was her best friend in this life. They were both the most important and inseparable people in her life.
One was killed by her own hands. The other was willing to follow her into the blue. They both left indelible traces in her life.
A very hateful one.
A guilt.
Now, when these two people become the same person...
When extreme hatred and guilt collide and intertwine...
Xue Xichen didn't know what she should do. It was the best decision for herself and for Phantom.
Is to continue to hate Ye Mei...
Or continue to be friends with the Phantom...
Or maybe they will never interact with each other until death...
Xue Xichen doesn't know.
She really doesn't know.
Phantom took a deep breath and tried to swallow the bitterness in her chest. She begged softly, "Tongtong, I have no other extravagance. I just want to stay by your side and continue to love you as Phantom..."
Xue Xichen shook her face and said coldly: "Isn't the Phantom just the Night Phantom?"
"No. When Night Phantom was controlled by the organization, he did not have complete freedom. Now Phantom is a completely free person. He can choose the life he wants and the person he wants to love."
"Ye Mei. Back then, you actually didn't betray me."
"But. I hurt you."
Phantom stared at Xue Xichen's face full of pain and exhaustion. She felt sorry for her that she was so strong and refused to show weakness in front of others. Phantom moved slightly and was about to step forward. Xue Xichen took half a step back without leaving any trace, seeming to intentionally dodge. Phantom's closeness.
Seeing Xue Xichen deliberately keeping a distance from him, Phantom felt unbearable pain in his chest. Although he told himself in his heart not to act too hastily, Xue Xichen's dodge still made him feel extremely hurt.
"Tongtong. I won't force you..."
I was sorry for you back then. I will not force you to make any decision again. I am willing to give you time to think calmly. I am willing to accept any decision you make in the end.
No matter if you continue to hate...
Or are you willing to try to accept me again...
Even say...
You and I are strangers from now on...
As long as it is a decision you make, I will happily accept it.
Even though this decision may break my heart and soul...
Tongtong. Once, I helped you choose. This made you suffer. It made you hate me life after life. This time, let me give you the right to choose. Let you choose a path for my future and yours... …
Tongtong. No matter how long it takes, I will wait for you...
Even if your choice is you in the end and we will be strangers from now on, I will never give up my commitment and pursuit to you.
I will wait for you……
I will stand there and wait for you...
No matter how long it takes, I will always wait for you...
