The predicament He Tianran faces now makes it difficult for him to fulfill the long-cherished wishes of Wen Liang and Cao Aiqing at the same time. Once he lets go of his worries and accepts Wen Liang, there is no doubt that Cao Aiqing will follow his old path and let this triangle reincarnation happen again.
Faced with the current situation, He Tianran had to make some compromises, and he begged:
"Ai Qing, you deserve to hate me. I don't ask you to forgive me, but I want to ask you to give me some time and I will make an explanation..."
Seeing He Tianran begin to relent, Cao Aiqing became more sure of his guess:
"Oh, He Tianran, you are indeed planning something again. Tell me, what kind of explanation are you going to give me? Is it like what you just said, that you are going to leave everything behind and embrace true love?"
He Tianran was silent, thinking that perhaps it would be much easier to tell all the facts than to hide each other's suspicions now...
However, as soon as he had this idea, it was like a swarm of ants had entered his mind, constantly eating his brain. This huge pain instantly made him worse than death...
"I want to fulfill your long-cherished wish and free you from this endless cause and effect."
He couldn't say this to anyone else. It was like he was touching a red line in the world. Once he told the truth, he would be tortured endlessly.
And in this burst of pain, He Tianran once again recalled the conversation with the old monk Quan Ling.
Perhaps, he was mistaken.
Could it be that when the old monk said that the "long-cherished wish" was fulfilled, he meant that the "old grudge" was settled?
Wen Liang and Ai Qing undoubtedly represent two words with the same pronunciation but completely different meanings. However, no matter how the literal meaning changes, they all have the same meaning at the moment -
There is nothing to wish for in life, but there is something to want in death.
In this "afterlife" world, is a wish still considered a wish?
Is the cause and effect that is voluntarily explained still considered cause and effect?
It’s not about ego, it’s about my wish.
These eight words refer to more than just He Tianran.
Cao Aiqing looked at He Tianran who suddenly held his head and clenched his teeth. His face suddenly became extremely pale, cold sweat was pouring from his forehead, and his face was in pain. Her eyes were surprised and uncertain, and she kept silent for the time being and continued to press.
After a while, the pain in his head gradually subsided. He Tianran gasped and looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar Cao Aiqing in front of him.
He couldn't help but recall that she was a very careful girl.
Although the stories that happened when they were together were all the trivial matters of daily life, they were far less memorable and grand than Wen Liang's joy and sorrow for He Tianran, but it was the little tenderness brought about by these little details that made him After the hard parting, he only paid attention to his wounds.
She is a good girl and should not live in hatred, let alone appear here.
"What do you want me to do? Separate from Wenliang?"
He Tianran's voice was hoarse.
Cao Aiqing was stunned and asked: "Can you do it?"
He Tianran shook his head and said slowly: "I won't... Ai Qing, I have hated someone before, and that feeling is really uncomfortable. I don't need you to retaliate against me. With your thoughts, you should find me I haven’t gotten over the guilt I feel towards you, are you satisfied with what I say?”
Somehow, although Cao Aiqing didn't know exactly what He Tianran was going to do, she believed what He Tianran was telling her now. She was silent for a moment, then slowly came back to her senses, and said with some surprise:
"He Tianran...you are abusing yourself. If you are really bad, you should be bad to the end. From now on, you should completely ignore me and live with your warmth. If you feel sorry for me, you must atone for your sins. Then the three of us will live our own lives, asking for warmth but not getting it. You will live under the shadow of your own sins from now on, and I will be happy to see it.
Now, you have chosen to bear Wen Liang's share of the sin. Doesn't it make her look so innocent?
And the most ridiculous thing is that you still worry about me, haha, I don’t even know whether to call you affectionate or sentimental. "
"Yes, isn't this the greatest punishment God has given me? Are you satisfied?"
He Tianran asked again.
Am I satisfied?
Cao Aiqing was speechless. She suddenly felt that the revenge she imagined was a bit ridiculous. She should have known a long time ago that in all He Tianran's plans, the ones who were hurt the most were not others. He was so cruel to her that when others wanted to torture him, He was already riddled with wounds and wounds.
This feeling is like punching out, the opponent falls down, his face is swollen, his teeth are broken, and then he gets up with a look of embarrassment, but there is no pain!
This really doesn't feel like the joy of getting revenge at all.
Cao Aiqing is not satisfied with this situation, but this does not mean that there is no way. Since He Tianran has just asked for himself, it goes without saying that he cares about things.
The girl tried: "Satisfied? No, you haven't told me yet, why do you want me to give you time? What you are doing now has something to do with Wen Liang, right?"
He Tianran's heart skipped a beat. If these two women continued to be entangled, the development of things would make his current situation difficult.
The other party's momentary silence allowed Cao Aiqing to find a breakthrough. Next, the purpose was very simple.
"He Tianran, I'm curious about how you told Wen Liang about me. Tell me, what would she think if she knew you were with me now?"
Cao Aiqing's slender fingers gently slid on the phone screen, and He Tianran couldn't help but said:
"Ai Qing, don't be like this, don't you want to keep your distance from me? Why now..."
"Because I find it a little more fun that way."
Cao Aiqing interrupted He Tianran's speech, and at this moment, she finally found the expression she wanted on the other person's face.
Hesitation, anxiety, helplessness, and helplessness about oneself.
She raised her phone and continued: "I have told Wen Liang earlier that if she insists on being with you, it will only make you more painful. I didn't expect that my words came true. Although you won't understand This side is exposed to her, but what would happen if she knew? I'm curious..."
He Tianran was about to speak when he suddenly heard a "click" and his panicked look was captured by Cao Aiqing.
"you……"
"Don't worry, I don't have Wen Liang's phone number..." Cao Aiqing looked at the newly framed photo on her phone, tapped her fingers a few times, and continued softly: "So, I can only wait for her to call."
He Tianran's cell phone rang immediately, and he immediately took it out and looked at it.
This is also a WeChat reminder, but it is not sent to him, but a group chat message. The name of this group chat is "Forever Hong Kong Middle School Class 2 Class 3"! ! !
This is their high school group chat, and Wen Liang is also in it!
The message Cao Aiqing sent was very simple. It was the photo of He Tianran she had just taken. She seemed not to be very happy, so the moment He Tianran checked the message, she typed and reposted——
"Wolf is coming~@伟丽"
