Chapter 324 Meet Again
Looking into Ye Yifan’s pitch-black eyes, there seemed to be a complex and unclear emotion. His voice was especially filled with various emotions all mixed together. This caused Tang Xia’s heart to thump faster.
“What are you talking about? That’s just your guess, right? After all, this is a system. Even if we entered the live broadcast of ‘He who Remains is King’, Chu Tiankuo might not necessarily be the pathogen!”
Tang Xia patted her chest lightly and finished her sentence slightly agitatedly. She started panting slightly.
Hearing her emotional words, Ye Yifan frowned and looked at her. Seeing how emotional she was and how her eyes were filled with disbelief, it was obvious that she did not believe him.
Looking at Tang Xia’s cheeks, he pondered for a moment. Suddenly, he grabbed her by her elbow. Tang Xia was shocked by his sudden move and she stared at him in shock with her eyes wide-opened.
She saw that his eyes did not blink. She had never seen him look at her so seriously before as if it was a life and death matter.
His deep voice rang by her ear, “Tang Xia, I want you to wake up now. Whether or not Chu Tiankuo will come, you already have the answer in your heart long ago. Why are you lying to yourself and to me and discussing all these things with me?” A tint of disappointment flashed across his serious gaze.
After listening to Ye Yifan’s words, the last thing she wanted to admit was exposed to the world ruthlessly. She knew very well that every time Chu Tiankuo appeared, he would be the final ace of her broadcast.
Her gaze was slightly lowered. Her long eyelashes seemed to cover something. Her eyes were filled with mist. Others could not see her face clearly, but they were affected by her sadness.
Ye Yifan was extremely unwilling to see her become like this. He suddenly regretted what he just told her. He contemplated whether he should comfort her and after hesitating for a moment, he did not know what to say.
Suddenly, as if having thought of something, Tang Xia lifted her head. Ye Yifan’s hand that was already in mid-air froze. She looked around anxiously.
He could only withdraw his hand awkwardly. He said embarrassedly, “What’s wrong? Are you looking for something?”
However, Tang Xia ignored him. The place they were at now was the scene when Ye Yifan and her were facing the last challenge in that broadcast. It was the villa where everyone was gathered.
It was still the same decorations. Even the places where everyone stood were the same. However, this caused Tang Xia to panic even more.
On the other side, the broadcast room also became chaotic instantly. After all, many who were able to follow all the way to the finals had watched this particular broadcast. Everyone’s reaction to this was different.
“Oh my god, it’s this place! This was where I started stanning Ye-Tang couple!”
“Where is this? Why does it seem like many people have seen it? Drama-watcher here needs an explanation.”
“Oh, I bet Tang Xia has backup this time around. Chu Tiankuo will protect her again definitely!”
“No matter what, Chu-Tang couple pair should not give up!”
“…”
Tang Xia was looking down at Fang Yan’s corpse that was lying by their feet. She could not help but frown tightly. She looked up slowly at the villa’s tightly-shut door.
This was because she knew that if she continued like before, soon, that person would come in through that door.
Ye Yifan felt the tense atmosphere from Tang Xia and naturally knew why it was so. He turned to look at the clock hanging on the wall and counted down silently. “Three, two, one.”
As he finished his last word, the villa’s door started shaking slightly. Tang Xia fixated her gaze on the shaking door anxiously while Ye Yifan was full of relief.
With a loud bang, the door was suddenly pushed open. The whooshing sound of the rain from outside grew louder gradually. Suddenly, extremely dazzling lightning flashed across the sky, instantly lighting up the whole house.
The newcomer’s shadow was cast onto their bodies. The newcomer wore black shoes and raindrops were sliding down his hoodie. It was exactly the same as how she remembered it to be.
The comer slowly raised his head. “Tang Tang.” The eyes that could not get any familiar were exposed in the air. Tang Xia could not help but stop breathing. She had spent so long searching just for this face that was almost imprinted in her heart. The anxiety and panic in her heart disappeared completely instantly.
He was indeed Chu Tiankuo. Unlike the last scene, this time around, he was still holding onto the knife and looking at her furiously. But this time around, the raindrops rolled down his face and he gave her a doting smile.Read More chapter on our vi pnovel. com
Tang Xia finally could not hold it back anymore. She ran towards him and jumped into his embrace. She did not even realize the coldness as she contacted with the rain on his skin. Her slightly-red eyes could not hold back the tears anymore and she started bursting into tears.
Chu Tiankuo held her tightly in his arms and tried to smell her scent. He really wanted to hold her forever and not let her go. He said in a low voice, “You…don’t blame me for making the decision to let you win?”
Tang Xia’s hands that were hugging him became stiff and she pushed him away slowly. Looking at his careful and mindful look, she could not help but burst into a smile.
“Indeed, I won after I exited the game, but I did not feel the joy of victory. Instead, I was so suppressed by the comments that I could not even lift up my head.”
Chu Tiankuo, who was already guilty, instantly did not know what to do. His gaze also grew darker. He slowly retrieved his hands but Tang Xia grabbed them again suddenly. Feeling surprised, he looked up and saw that she was smiling at him.
At this point in time, her eyes were no longer as impetuous as before. However, it was filled with the calmness of after going through many things.
“But it’s nothing. Although I was decadent at that time, I only survived it because of you.”
Chu Tiankuo looked at her in shock. He seemed to not understand what she meant. However, Tang Xia snuggled herself into his embrace once again. She said gently, “I’ve been searching for you all this time because I know that you will be waiting for me somewhere.”
As soon as he said this, even Ye Yifan who stood at one side was also shocked. He seemed to finally understand why she had been hiding at home during this period and repeating the broadcasts, and especially only the parts with her and Chu Tiankuo. It was not a glorious advance battle yet she was still so persistent about it. It turned out that she was not furious.
On the contrary, she had confirmed that feeling.
Chu Tiankuo’s heart seemed to fill up instantly filled. He looked down at Tang Xia and his gaze was filled with devotion. At this moment, Ye Yifan who now figured out the truth suddenly dashed towards them and pulled Tang Xia away from Chu Tiankuo.Read More chapter on our vi pnovel. com
Left in utter shock, Tang Xia looked back at Ye Yifan who looked calm on the outside but emotions surging in the inside. His sharp gaze scanned across Chu Tiankuo and he said to her in a lowered voice, “Don’t forget, we are here to destroy him.”
Suddenly, Tang Xia’s heart fell. She quickly grabbed his hand and asked in disbelief, “What are you going to do!”
Chu Tiankuo naturally understood what they meant. However, seeing Tang Xia protect him to see this extent, he was even more excited.
“It’s not what I want to do, it’s what you have to do! Tang Xia! Do not forget, you are a human. This guy is just a bug in the system, your task is to destroy him personally to entertain the audience!”
Ye Yifan said this almost as if he was snarling. He clutched Tang Xia’s shoulders fiercely as if he wanted to crush her bones.
Seeing Ye Yifan go out of control, Chu Tiankuo dashed towards him and forced him into a corner. He grabbed him by his collars and said in an icy-cold voice, “Tang Xia is in pain, can’t you see?”
“Chu Tiankuo, don’t hurt him!” Tang Xia rushed forward and stopped him. Chu Tiankuo then released him but still looked at him with angst. From beginning to end, they had never liked each other.
Ye Yifan covered his arm in pain. He straightened his back slowly. He pulled out a dagger from a pocket in the clothes beside him. Chu Tiankuo’s eyes deepened but he did not do anything. Tang Xia was taken aback.
He handed her the dagger directly. His eyes were like a thick black ink clot that could not be smoothened out. It was so heavy that no one could tell what he was thinking about.
“Tang Xia, this time around, you kill him personally.”
Tang Xia froze instantly. She looked at the dagger in his hands and did not even know what to do. Seeing her hesitate, Chu Tiankuo, who stood at one side, did not make any sound too. This time around, he wanted to see her make a choice.
Seeing her not moving for a long time, Ye Yifan became a little impatient. His tone became a little irritable and said, “Tang Xia, did you forget that you end up in the comments saga all because of him?”
“If it wasn’t for all the comments, how would Lu Huanyu have the chance to kidnap and torture you! And how would you face suspension and being fired!”
When Chu Tiankuo heard him talk about kidnap and torture, he looked up instantly at him. Tang Xia hesitated but Ye Yifan put the dagger into her hand.
Tang Xia quickly looked up at him only to see him nod solemnly. “You must kill him personally to end this game. All the comments will then be resolved. You can continue your broadcast career and won’t have to face suspension or being fired. Only if you kill him.”
However, with the dagger in her hand, Tang Xia still could not bring herself to do it. She eventually let go of her trembling hand that was holding onto the dagger.
She then turned to look at him determinedly and said, “I can’t do it! I’ve been through so many things, I only know that Chu Tiankuo is very important to me, extremely important. I am willing to take part in the finals because I want to see him. How could I possibly kill him!”
Seeing that Tang Xia was at the brink of breaking down, Chu Tiankuo quickly stepped forward to support Tang Xia. Ye Yifan looked at the dagger dropped onto the ground. He remained silent for a while, before suddenly picking up the dagger. He dashed towards Chu Tiankuo, getting ready to stab him.
