Chapter 156: Why Should Song Wanrou Get to, but Not Me?

"What happened next? What happened next?"

Hearing the story cut off abruptly at the most exciting part, Lin Weiwei hurriedly pressed An Yinuo for more.

"You were just saying Chen Xi exposed his position—what happened after that?"

An Yinuo said, lost in thought:

"What happened after was actually quite ordinary. Before they could board the ship, our people intercepted them. Chen Xi endured what could only be called hellish torture, and died a wretched death along with Liu Meiyun."

"To be honest, the two of us didn't really do much. The two craziest ones were Song Wanrou and Leng Wanqiu."

"Those two were a bit twisted."

"Song Wanrou would laugh every time she cut once, then start crying while laughing, laughing and crying at the same time, like a female ghost."

"Leng Wanqiu, on the other hand, was trembling all over. Every cut made a look of relief cross her face, and she cut faster and faster, as if doing so could ease the torment of guilt inside her."

"Later, because Leng Wanqiu didn't know her own strength, Chen Xi and Liu Meiyun ended up dying from excessive blood loss. Song Wanrou even slapped Leng Wanqiu a few times for it, and perhaps out of guilt, Leng Wanqiu didn't resist."

"There's nothing worth mentioning about all that…"

Lin Weiwei rolled her eyes.

"Just listening to what you're saying is terrifying to me, and you say there's nothing worth mentioning? You're really calm enough."

Lin Weiwei was timid, yet her curiosity was strong.

Summoning her courage, she asked An Yinuo.

"So in that case, the ones who mainly killed Chen Xi were Song Wanrou and Leng Wanqiu."

"The two of us were basically just along for the ride?"

An Yinuo glanced at her.

"I suppose you could say that."

Lin Weiwei asked, a little uneasy: "Surely I went up and slashed him a couple of times too?"

"Everyone of us had a hand in it."

"In that kind of situation, stuck with two women who'd gone mad like that—if the two of us hadn't joined in, do you think you'd have felt at ease?"

"Still, you didn't look like you were forced at the time."

"I remember you were crying and shouting that Song Mo was your ideal type, and then just like that he was dead, so you rushed up and hacked Chen Xi hard once."

Lin Weiwei pouted.

"Tch, only one slash?"

An Yinuo looked at her with a strange expression.

"That slash of yours could be called rather precise."

"A certain part of Chen Xi's body was sliced clean open by you."

"Huh?" Lin Weiwei went pale.

"How would you know? You didn't actually see it, did you?"

"No, I didn't." An Yinuo said calmly: "Chen Xi was the one who shouted it himself. Later, finding his wailing too noisy, Song Wanrou made sure he could never speak again."

Lin Weiwei felt a little afraid.

"Forget it, forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. It sounds too horrifying."

"An Yinuo, aren't you scared at all?"

An Yinuo gave a light snort. "In the past, I would definitely have been scared, but after awakening the memories of my past life, my mind has already been through so much."

"What's left to be afraid of?"

Lin Weiwei said admiringly: "You really do have guts."

"So what happened after that?"

A thoughtful look came into An Yinuo's eyes, and she murmured: "That's what I find strange and puzzling."

"The instant Chen Xi died, it was as if there was a white orb of light inside his body, constantly expanding, until finally it exploded."

"And then, all that was left in my memory was a sheet of white."

Lin Weiwei guessed: "Could it be that this white orb of light was what caused our rebirth?"

"That possibility can't be ruled out."

An Yinuo said:

"This life is clearly different from the last. I suspect it's precisely because that white orb of light is gone—after all, it already exploded."

"The moment Chen Xi died, the white orb of light should have been destroyed along with him."

Lin Weiwei hummed in acknowledgment, then said nothing.

The two of them fell into a long silence.

After a while, Lin Weiwei was the first to break.

"An Yinuo, so what do we do now?"

"Even if we know what happened in our past lives, so what? Song Mo still hates us, doesn't he?"

"After all, in the past life Song Mo was genuinely suppressed by the An Family and the Lin Family the whole time, and right up until his death, we were always on Chen Xi's side."

"Song Mo was reborn too, and he naturally feels disgust toward us."

"I even feel that Song Mo not killing us is already being magnanimous."

"Is there really no possibility between us and Song Mo?"

No matter what happened in the past life, at least in this one, Lin Weiwei had truly fallen for Song Mo.

It was fine before—when she didn't know what had happened in the past life, she could still play dumb.

Now that she knew, how could she pretend?

She didn't even have the face to pursue Song Mo herself!

An Yinuo, still in her hospital gown, sprang to her feet in one swift motion.

"No, we can't just sit here and wait to die!"

"There must be a way."

"After all, in our past life we were the ones who wronged Song Mo. Even though in this life Song Mo just wants us to stay away from him, my heart won't let me do that!"

"Mm, not bad, that's right."

"So it's not that we're clinging to Song Mo and refusing to let go — it's just that we want to make it up to him!"

Lin Weiwei gave An Yinuo a strange look.

Honestly, this woman really was something else.

She could whip up an excuse on the spot to keep pestering him shamelessly, and dress it up prettily as making amends for the sins of a past life.

Bah! She was clearly just after his body!

Shameless!

Still, although Lin Weiwei despised such behavior in her heart, she quickly fell in step with An Yinuo's rhythm.

"Mm-hm, Yinuo, you're right!"

"So… what should we do now?"

An Yinuo waved her dainty pink fist.

Her eyes blazed with fighting spirit!

"Lin Weiwei, have you forgotten?"

"Heaven itself actually wants to help us!"

"We can hear Song Mo's inner thoughts."

"Isn't that the perfect tool to help us conquer Song Mo?"

Hearing An Yinuo's words, Lin Weiwei instantly lost interest.

"Sigh, same old tired talk again."

"Didn't we used to say the same thing?"

"And every time, we never got to enjoy any perks from his inner thoughts — we just got thoroughly cursed out by Song Mo's inner voice!"

Lin Weiwei felt life held no hope.

"Am I really going to grow old alone?"

The more Lin Weiwei got to know and interact with Song Mo, the more she liked him.

Especially after learning that the two of them had countless tangled ties in their past life.

She was even less able to accept anyone else.

As for you saying the past-life relationship wasn't one of enemies…

Ahem, how does that saying go?

Only fated foes meet!

Past-life enemies, this-life lovers!

An Yinuo said, frustrated that Lin Weiwei couldn't do better:

"Lin Weiwei, can you pull yourself together a little?"

"Haven't you noticed that the relationship between Song Wanrou and Song Mo has actually eased?"

"Song Wanrou also wronged Song Mo in the past life — why can she do it, but I can't?"

"If you just find some random man to marry in this life, are you really okay with that?"

Lin Weiwei gave up completely, saying weakly:

"Not okay with it, so I just won't look anymore."

"Let's just leave it at that…"
