Chapter 140

~7 min read 1,280 words

Obviously, Xu Yutong stated the news of Ji Shu Yu's death.

And stated the death details together.

She must be betting—

Betting Su Yang is soft-hearted,

Betting he will cry bitterly.

Betting he will be heartbroken when hearing this news.

If it were the real world before entering the prison, if Su Yang learned this news, he would definitely be very sad.

Not talking about how wonderful the process of getting along was, and how many quarrels there were.

At least she was a living person.

Plus they once loved each other.

If people aren't wood or stone, how can they have no feelings?

Xu Yutong's mistake was thinking she knew Su Yang very well.

She chose to test at the peak of the dating atmosphere, without considering his reaction at all.

Or considered it.

But didn't expect him to be this disappointed, this angry!

Xu Yutong played with the baby squid in the bowl with her chopsticks carelessly and smiled. "As expected of you, the reaction is still so sharp."

"But what to do? You guessed right; I indeed intended to use my talent to recover performance points."

"I have already obtained the information I want, but you should still haven't found it, right?"

"'Body odor' is your lie; how many true words have you told me?"

"Whether it's from the past... or now."

Su Yang looked at her confident and fearless appearance, and a few possibilities flashed in his brain.

"Body odor is indeed fake, because I know the information you told me is also fake."

"You must have had a hard time getting to where you are, but you shouldn't have made a joke of your best friend's life."

"No matter who you are, you must first figure out that you are a 'person'."

"Because you are a 'person,' you have the capital to play the game."

"It is also the only difference between you and them."

As soon as the words fell, Su Yang pointed to the people coming and going in the hot pot restaurant.

Xu Yutong smiled, her delicate and moving face showing a trace of sorrow. "After watching the movie, I always had a question I wanted to ask you."

"If we didn't enter the prison, and this world didn't have a Death Game, would you be like the male lead in the movie, finding his true love?"

As soon as this question was asked, Xu Yutong couldn't wait to know the answer.

Her knuckles were pinching the chopsticks tightly, and the flesh and skin had already appeared a trace of blue-purple.

Su Yang didn't hesitate and blurted out, "Yes."

"You're lying!" Xu Yutong's voice suddenly raised a few points. "You never seriously looked at me!"

"Including now, you are just doing this for the task, for the performance points, so you are so good to me."

Su Yang looked at her distorted features quietly and said slowly, "Everything I did was for performance points, that's correct."

"But you ask yourself, in the short two-plus hours of dating, have you felt half a point of hypocrisy?"

"Having a good impression of someone can't be faked, but your performance today made me very disappointed."

"I thought you were still the you from before; now it seems you still lived into the appearance you hated the most."

"Answering your previous question again..."

Su Yang looked at the clock on the wall without a trace—19:25.

"I have never lied to you, whether it was before, or now."

Xu Yutong stared straight at Su Yang's eyes, trying to see flaws and hypocrisy from them.

However, his eyes were always clear, without any dodging or hesitation.

"Then why did you get together with Shuyu back then?" Xu Yutong gritted her teeth.

When she asked this sentence, it meant she had let go of her reserve and face.

Su Yang was very curious about what her talent was, actually breaking the pot and falling to this point.

Acting without even acting.

But the play he should do still had to be done.

After all, the disappointment Xu Yutong gave was his first impression; she herself certainly wouldn't be affected.

Therefore, Su Yang said, "Everyone will meet all kinds of people in their lifetime; no one knows who will be your true belonging."

"The male lead in the movie is the same; he clearly liked the first female lead, but still got together with the second female lead."

"Fate, who can say clearly?"

Xu Yutong's eye sockets were covered with a layer of water mist. "But... clearly I was the first..."

"It's meaningless to discuss this now; you are no longer the Yutong from before," Su Yang said.

"It's meaningful, at least I know your real thoughts in your heart," Xu Yutong shook her head constantly.

Self-comfort?

Dating to this point, the disappointment is real, and the sadness is also real.

He isn't iron-hearted, watching a friend who was once innocent and naive become what she is today.

It's a bit heartbreaking.

But he also has no qualification to blame and dislike.

After all, in this game, who hasn't lived into the appearance they hated the most?

"Let's start," Su Yang said.

Xu Yutong looked at Su Yang's handsome face and smiled. "It doesn't matter, you can still see the original me."

Saying this, she swallowed the millet spicy in the seasoning dish in one gulp.

The next moment, a starlight suddenly flashed in her eyes!

【Time Reversal】!

In an instant, Su Yang's pupils shrank suddenly—

Stars?!

Time began to flow backward.

When Su Yang blinked, the memories in his brain about before were swept away.

A trace of confusion and perplexity appeared in his eyes.

"Sir, what would you like to order?" the waitress asked softly.

Su Yang looked at the menu in his hand, suddenly having a sense of déjà vu.

Can't say what's strange, but it's a bit similar to the dream scene in the fourth Death Game.

"Hot pot restaurant?" Su Yang's brain had a short-circuit, and he subconsciously rubbed his eyebrows.

"Yeah, didn't you say you wanted to come to the hot pot restaurant to eat?" Xu Yutong nodded.

Then she asked with concern, "What's wrong? Are you not feeling well?"

"No, let's order," Su Yang put the doubt at the bottom of his heart and began to order.

He ordered according to what Xu Yutong liked to eat, and the soup base was tomato + spicy.

Xu Yutong happily took the initiative to ask, "I'll go get the seasoning dish for you."

"Good." Su Yang retracted his legs and let her walk out.

Looking at her departing back, he suddenly felt a bit dazed.

"Feels like I've seen this scene somewhere, strange..."

He always felt there was something important to do, but couldn't remember it no matter what.

It was as if an invisible wall had been erected in his brain, blocking his thoughts.

Waited for a while, Xu Yutong returned with two seasoning dishes.

"I know you don't eat spicy," Xu Yutong first put one bowl on the table and added, "Here, your favorite sesame oil and cilantro combination."

"Thank you," Su Yang nodded with a smile.

He took chopsticks and stirred it evenly, then put it into his mouth to taste.

"The taste is not bad."

After Xu Yutong returned to her seat, he suddenly discovered that the look in her eyes when she looked at him...

Had a bit more tenderness and love?

Not right.

Su Yang clearly remembered that from coming out of the cinema to just now, she had been in a heavy-hearted and sad mood.

How could her mood change in the time it took to get seasoning?
