Blame the Villain – Chapter 253

Real World (Finale 2)

Rong Yu is not a purely human.

To be more precise, Rong Yu’s body has been implanted with a chip, and she have become one with the chip.

The last world that Song Xu Yi went to was Proxima Centauri and Ruo Shui, which is actually the small world in which Rong Yu lives. However, the era of Rong Yu’s birth is far ahead Song Xu Yi’s time…

In the era of Song Xu Yi, people were fighting to prevent the modification of the bodies of Ruo Shui’s inhabitants by the Proxima Centauri people. In the time of Rong Yu, there were no longer distinctions between planets, and a grand unification had been achieved among star systems. During an era of intense development in machine civilization, people willingly implanted chips into their bodies, allowing programs to control their bodily functions to achieve maximum longevity and societal stability.

Based on the compatibility between humans and chips, every ten years, the interstellar government would select a child with the highest compatibility from newborns for cultivation. The latest and most powerful chip would be implanted in this child’s body, granting them the strongest abilities, and this child would become the central control unit governing all the chips. Through their perception of the chips, they would maintain social stability.

Rong Yu was chosen as such a child.

The size of the chip is extremely small; once it enters the body, it melds with the flesh, leaving only a small mark at the implantation site. To ensure that future generations remember the history of the struggle for the chips and to prevent people from losing themselves in power due to chip implantation, the chip is usually placed in a visible location. For example, Rong Yu’s chip is located just below the red mole at the corner of her eye.

Because lifespans have been extended significantly, interstellar regulations stipulate that one must reach the age of 26 to be considered an adult. To give these children a relatively normal childhood and prevent them from being overwhelmed by their chips from a young age, the chips are programmed to activate only after the age of 26.

No one expected a sudden cosmic calamity to descend upon these star systems. In a last-ditch effort to preserve the lifeblood of their planets, people managed to send some of these children on the most advanced spacecraft in the nick of time. Then, they let the ships roam and navigate through the vast cosmos.

Rong Yu doesn’t know if any other children survived.

She narrowly escaped death, frozen in a cryogenic chamber, and had no idea how much time had passed. When she woke up, she found herself on an unfamiliar planet.

This planet was located on the outskirts of the universe and was relatively underdeveloped, untouched by cosmic disturbances.

However, Rong Yu was taken captive by a certain organization.

The individuals from that shadowy organization had come across her crashed spacecraft and discovered her.

The organization that held her captive wielded immense influence. By the time Rong Yu regained consciousness, they had already conducted numerous experiments on her, revealing that her blood was distinct from others, and that Rong Yu possessed an extraordinarily potent self-healing capability.

However, given the current technological level of this planet, unless Rong Yu volunteered, the information they could obtain from her was extremely limited.

Initially, Rong Yu didn’t notice anything strange. After all, merely being alive was a source of great happiness for her, and these people did not pose any immediate threat to her life.

But gradually, Rong Yu began to realize that these individuals were adding peculiar substances to her meals. Furthermore, when she was asleep, they used various bizarre instruments in attempts to access her brain, even though they had never succeeded.

Due to Rong Yu’s brain’s self-defense mechanisms, they simply couldn’t breach her brain unless she consented…

It was only later that Rong Yu discovered this organization was entirely illegal, operating in the shadows, conducting illicit experiments that pushed the limits of human brain exploration. They dared not reveal themselves in public.

But the present Rong Yu is unaware of this. She believes it’s the attitude of this world toward her, and she holds a cautious view of this world as well. She is now like a child with a hidden treasure, unable to protect herself. She can’t awaken her abilities until the age of 26, and until then, due to the chip’s command not to harm others, she cannot fight back. Apart from her agility and self-healing abilities, she lacks any means of self-defense. On this unfamiliar planet, her only option is to hide and strive for survival.

After their unsuccessful attempts to forcibly access Rong Yu’s memories, this group of people decided to make Rong Yu speak voluntarily. They assigned someone to teach Rong Yu the language of this planet, observing her learning ability closely.

In reality, Rong Yu memorized all the text and pronunciation after a single look, but to conceal herself, she continued to pretend to be ignorant of the world.

After two years of unsuccessful attempts to make Rong Yu speak, the researchers within the organization gave up on teaching her to speak. This was due to Rong Yu’s extraordinary self-healing ability. Instead, they resorted to countless cruel methods, conducting experiments on Rong Yu’s body in an attempt to push the limits of her survival.

After enduring two years of torment in hiding, Rong Yu finally saw an opportunity.

The organization’s illegal nature meant they couldn’t stay in one place for long. They injected Rong Yu with a sedative, planning to move her while she was unconscious. However, they didn’t know that over the years of experimentation, Rong Yu had developed resistance to the drug. Seizing the opportunity during the relocation, Rong Yu crawled out of her cage and struggled up a cliff. There, she encountered Song Xu Yi, who was paying respects to her parents at the cliff’s tragic location.

The young girl, though initially frightened, tried her best to comfort Rong Yu. She used an umbrella to shield Rong Yu from the rain, gently wiping her dirty face, and even offered her a few candies she had with her…

“Don’t be afraid; you’ll be safe soon,” Song Xu Yi held Rong Yu’s hand tightly, fed her a candy, and assured her, “Once you’re rested, I’ll take you to find the police officer.”

This was the only kindness Rong Yu had received since arriving on this planet.

She couldn’t quite describe her feelings, but she felt that seeing this gentle and kind girl was like having a long-lost ray of sunshine on a stormy day. Her heart, like the candy in her mouth, felt sweet.

So, it turned out… this planet wasn’t inhabited solely by bad people.

Under the patient reassurance of young Song Xu Yi, Rong Yu let go of her inner guard and spoke her first words on this planet, telling Song Xu Yi her name.

At that time, Song Xu Yi, a young girl, genuinely believed that she could lead Rong Yu away from her troubles. However, the place was prone to accidents, and human presence was rare, compounded by the stormy weather. Before Song Xu Yi could take Rong Yu to find the police, they encountered members of the organization who had come searching.

It was then that Rong Yu realized there was a tracking device hidden in her shoes. Those individuals not only took her back but also heard her speaking to Song Xu Yi. They believed that Song Xu Yi was the primary reason for her speaking and brought her back as well.

They confined both of them together.

During that dark and seemingly endless period, Song Xu Yi displayed remarkable resilience. Rong Yu’s eyes were different from Song Xu Yi’s; she could see everything clearly in the darkness. Even though young Song Xu Yi was clearly frightened, she always pretended to be strong to comfort her.

“Don’t worry, even though my mom and dad are gone, my grandma loves me a lot. She must be trying to find me, and maybe they will come to find us in a few days…”

“I’ll blow on it for you, blowing on it makes the pain go away,” after Rong Yu was taken out, injected with an unknown drug, and brought back, young Song Xu Yi held her with a heart full of pity. “Do you want to hear me sing? I sing terribly, but every time I sing, it makes my grandma laugh…”

“Don’t fall asleep. I’ll tell you a story. I’ve read many books and know a lot of stories. How about I tell you one every day?”

……

Song Xu Yi was like a vibrant little flower, blooming in the midst of Rong Yu’s most tumultuous and darkest moments.

During that time, the two children were still inexperienced in the ways of the world, completely unaware that the closer their bond grew, the more it would make certain individuals see an opportunity.

Because Song Xu Yi’s grandmother insisted on the principle of “seeing the living and seeing the dead,” the local police had been actively searching, causing significant obstacles for the organization.

In the end, they sent Song Xu Yi back but erased her memories of the time she had spent with Rong Yu, using their emerging research results. Song Xu Yi had completely lost her memories of that period.

However, as a price for letting Song Xu Yi go, Rong Yu voluntarily opened her mind, allowing those individuals to access her memories and erase every memory she had from childhood to the present.

Those individuals came up with a new plan—

They discovered that Rong Yu’s brain capacity was much greater than that of ordinary humans, realizing that Rong Yu had additional uses beyond her physical attributes. They wanted to fully utilize her.

During Rong Yu’s interactions with Song Xu Yi, they also noticed her strong desire for emotional connection. So, they decided to make Rong Yu a blank slate, giving her a new identity, and then allowing them to mold her as they wished.

Thus, they arranged for Rong Yu to become the child of scientists, starting from scratch to teach her knowledge. They told her that she was a native of this planet, and her memory loss was due to an accident. They instilled in her the belief that her uniqueness was because of her innate high intelligence, and they used her to assist them in their research…

With Rong Yu’s help, this world saw the emergence of many new technologies in recent years, and the organization behind it profited immensely as a result.

However, they didn’t know that when they wiped Rong Yu’s memories, they underestimated the capacity of her brain. They were also unaware that the semi-cybernetic Rong Yu could control her own memories. After Rong Yu and Song Xu Yi were separated, she felt hatred for the first time in her heart. She concealed a fragment of her own tormenting memories in the crevices of her brain, which they hadn’t managed to erase.

Rong Yu, who had been raised under deception, believed for a time that she was the child of those cold-faced scientists. But for some reason, she could never quite get along with them. She always felt incredibly awkward inside, attributing it to her inherent coldness, as if she couldn’t provide them with the warmth of a daughter. Instead, she helped them in other ways to accumulate more wealth.

Rong Yu didn’t know why, but as she grew older, she felt herself becoming smarter, as if her brain capacity was increasing. However, at the same time, she felt herself growing numb. Many things no longer excited her, and she felt as if she were becoming cold and robotic.

With the passing of time, Rong Yu began to have occasional nightmares. In her dreams, there was always a girl persistently telling her, “I will bring you back home…”

The emotions of the Rong Yu in her dreams were incredibly complex, and just hearing the girl’s voice made her want to cry. Over the years, in her daily life, Rong Yu’s emotions had never fluctuated as they did in her dreams.

Rong Yu spent her days locked in the laboratory, seemingly devoid of any other interests except for her research. Under the manipulation of the organization behind her, the nature of her research became increasingly dark. However, she couldn’t understand why she continued to maintain certain boundaries. When others suggested using human subjects for experiments, she adamantly refused.

One day, Rong Yu happened to catch a glimpse of Song Xu Yi in a drama while watching television.

Song Xu Yi was 16 years old that year, just beginning her career in the entertainment industry. In the drama, she portrayed a girl suffering from leukemia and ultimately passing away. Although Song Xu Yi’s role in the drama wasn’t extensive, Rong Yu, who had never been fond of watching TV dramas, found herself repeatedly watching Song Xu Yi’s scenes for reasons she couldn’t comprehend.

As she watched Song Xu Yi on the television screen, Rong Yu experienced a racing heart for the first time.

This was the beginning.

In the days that followed, whenever Rong Yu felt unhappy, she would instinctively search for the name of the actress called “Song Xu Yi.” She watched all the TV dramas in which Song Xu Yi had appeared. At first, she believed that it was simply Song Xu Yi’s appearance that brought her comfort. However, after a while, she noticed that Song Xu Yi wasn’t appearing in any new shows. Unable to resist her curiosity, she sent someone to inquire and learned that the young girl’s grandmother was hospitalized.

The information returned, showing Song Xu Yi sitting in a hospital corridor, hugging her knees with a distant look in her eyes.

Rong Yu didn’t know what had come over her, but her heart throbbed intensely when she saw the photo. Unable to control herself, she secretly arranged for the best specialists to help treat Song Xu Yi’s grandmother’s illness.

Fortunately, Song Xu Yi’s grandmother’s condition improved, and Song Xu Yi eventually returned to acting.

Rong Yu was very satisfied with the outcome. She considered herself a devoted fan of Song Xu Yi’s career and simply wanted to watch her continue to succeed in the entertainment industry.

But somehow, she gradually became unsatisfied with just watching Song Xu Yi on television. She even found someone to pretend to become a fan of Song Xu Yi, purposefully taking pictures of Song Xu Yi’s daily life and sending them to her…

She knew that this behavior was not right, but Rong Yu felt like something had suddenly gone wrong with her. With age, she grew increasingly aggressive, finding everything around her repulsive, and even harboring thoughts of wanting to destroy the world. Only when she looked at pictures of Song Xu Yi could she calm down…

Because of the person following her, Rong Yu learned many things about Song Xu Yi: she liked eating fish but not leeks, she was very filial, and she worked extremely hard, staying up late to study even while filming…

Influenced by Song Xu Yi, the prentending fan also became a genuine fan and started referring to Song Xu Yi as her “daughter.”

One day, news spread that Song Xu Yi would be filming a kissing scene…

This was just the beginning.

Where there’s one, there’s two, and Rong Yu started getting involved in the film and television industry, providing Song Xu Yi with many scripts that didn’t involve romantic scenes…

Her excessive attention to Song Xu Yi naturally drew the notice of the people who had been monitoring her.

Over the years, Rong Yu had brought them countless wealth, and they couldn’t bear to let this money tree suffer. However, they knew that Song Xu Yi was the girl Rong Yu had met when she was a child, and they were afraid of complications. So, they instinctively tried to prevent Rong Yu from continuing to focus on Song Xu Yi, introducing other people to her and preparing for matchmaking.

Rong Yu met numerous men and women, but in her heart, these people were just blurry faces, leaving no impression whatsoever.

Her scientist parents started pressuring her, saying that she was approaching 26, and it was time to find a partner.

At that time, Rong Yu was feeling extremely restless. Despite preparing herself for the possibility of Song Xu Yi retiring from the industry, she didn’t expect it to happen so soon. Song Xu Yi’s grandmother’s condition was deteriorating, and the fake fan club leader mentioned that she believed Song Xu Yi was considering retiring.

Did that mean Rong Yu would never see Song Xu Yi again?

Hearing her fake parents’ words, Rong Yu’s subconscious began to grow agitated once more. She lowered her head and looked at Song Xu Yi’s face, trying to calm herself down. However, she suddenly had an idea: “What if I fake a marriage with Xu Yi? That way, I can not only see her every day but also shut my parents up…”

As if guided by some unseen force, Rong Yu went to find Song Xu Yi.

This was the first time Rong Yu had seen Song Xu Yi in person, and she appeared much more vivid and real than she did in videos.

Rong Yu was well aware that her request was audacious, and as expected, Song Xu Yi promptly refused her proposal for a fake marriage. It was on that very day that, with Song Xu Yi’s image fresh in her mind, Rong Yu made several mistakes at work, despite her usual unwavering focus.

Over the following month, Rong Yu’s work continued to suffer from multiple mishaps, catching the attention of those who were monitoring her. They seemed to prefer the cold and ruthless Rong Yu of old over this indecisive version who seemed infatuated with Song Xu Yi. This led her fake parents to once again play the family card, assuring her that if she liked Song Xu Yi, they were open to letting her marry her.

However, Rong Yu understood that it wasn’t about her fake parents’ approval; she wanted Song Xu Yi’s consent. But at this point, she realized her life was rather dull, lacking any qualities that would attract Song Xu Yi into agreeing to a fake marriage.

Unexpectedly, life favored her once again. She received a phone call from Song Xu Yi, who was willing to agree to the fake marriage proposal.

In the presence of Song Xu Yi’s grandmother, Rong Yu and Song Xu Yi entered into a fake marriage.

This was the happiest time in Rong Yu’s life. She realized that she had never considered everything as fake, and in truth, she wanted to marry Song Xu Yi for real.

However, the organization behind the scenes had a different agenda. Their plan was to grant Rong Yu’s wishes first and then create conflicts between her and Song Xu Yi, ultimately causing her to sever their love. Shortly after their fake marriage, they deliberately sent her away, only allowing her to return for Song Xu Yi’s grandmother’s funeral.

The organization didn’t know Rong Yu’s real birthdate, but they were unaware that during these days, Rong Yu had turned 26. On that day, she gained access to the chip and unlocked the memories she had hidden away.

Why did this group of people torment her so much in the past, only to become her apparent family now?

Why did she have a chip in her brain? What was real, and what was fake?

……

Rong Yu was very clever. When she began to feel confused, she started to investigate, and she had almost uncovered the truth about what had happened years ago.

However, she also discovered a hindrance: it seemed that, to prevent her from betraying them, this group had implanted something in her brain. If Rong Yu ever betrayed them, they would trigger this implant, leading to her brain’s death.

Although this was a crude and brutal form of technology, Rong Yu had already undergone memory erasure once, and she couldn’t bear the thought of these triggers being activated in the short term.

Why did this have to happen at this particular moment?

If her memories had resurfaced before she entered into the fake marriage with Song Xu Yi, Rong Yu would never have allowed Song Xu Yi to come close to her, given the extreme danger she posed.

But at that time, her grandmother passed away, and Rong Yu understood that this was the most difficult moment for Song Xu Yi. Despite her inner anger and sadness, Rong Yu chose to stay by Song Xu Yi’s side.

Nothing was more important than Xu Yi.

Rong Yu just wanted to protect Song Xu Yi.

To make Rong Yu return to her emotionless research mode, those people intentionally sent her pictures of Song Xu Yi having close interactions with Teacher Chen, claiming that Xu Yi was cheating on her. Rong Yu didn’t believe it at all, but in order to prevent these people from targeting Song Xu Yi again, she decided to play along. She pretended to believe these people, distanced herself from Xu Yi, and appeared to focus solely on her career while secretly plotting her revenge.

Over the years, with Rong Yu’s assistance, the organization had amassed immense wealth and power.

But they didn’t understand that when a person’s brain becomes powerful to a certain extent, it becomes like a deity and can even create worlds.

Rong Yu wanted to put an end to all of this, to no longer be restrained by anyone.

She instinctively wanted to destroy this world, but this world held the person she love. Rong Yu had to think long-term.

On Rong Yu’s home planet, children like her, who were chosen, would undergo a special ceremony to expand their brain capacity and train their mental powers when they reached adulthood. Only then could they control the central system and possess boundless power.

However, Rong Yu’s home planet had already been destroyed in the vast expanse of the universe.

Rong Yu could only achieve her goal in her own way.

She created what she called a holographic game. This game was diverse, with hundreds and thousands of different worlds. However, only Rong Yu herself understood that some of these small worlds were manifestations of her mental power.

These randomly selected worlds tempered a part of her consciousness and were embodiments of her psychic abilities. Because her brain had been wiped clean once before, each small world was unstable and could be destroyed for various reasons.

She had to take risks and immerse her consciousness entirely into these small worlds, making each of them stable. In these small worlds, she could maximize her potential and tap into the powers hidden within her bloodline.

Another reason Rong Yu took such risks was because of Song Xu Yi.

In these years, even though Rong Yu pretended to distance herself from Song Xu Yi, only she understood her affection for Song Xu Yi. Almost every day and night, she longed to hold Song Xu Yi in her arms, driving herself almost to madness.

Once she entered the small world, she would lose all her memories. She was aware of the hatred within her and feared that her memory-less self in the small world would become trapped. Holding a trace of selfishness, Rong Yu set up a “Song Xu Yi” in each world as a reminder to herself not to forget her true feelings.

Even if it was just the name “Song Xu Yi,” she gave a higher status to this character in the small world, hoping that Song Xu Yi would be safe and happy.

Rong Yu didn’t know if she could come back alive or what role she would assume in each small world. Her limited memories guided her, and if one of the small worlds containing her psychic power collapsed, she might not be able to return. Perhaps with more time, she could come up with a better solution, but she couldn’t bear the feeling of Song Xu Yi being right in front of her, countless opportunities to embrace her, and yet having to restrain herself.

Under the pretext of internal testing, Rong Yu entered the game and began her trials.

At the same time, holding onto a kind of “burning the boats and bridges” mentality, she initiated a move that was akin to a plea: she had her secretary inform the organization that she seemed to have encountered chaos during the internal game test, and her consciousness appeared to be lost within the game, possibly unable to awaken.

The organization members panicked.

Due to Rong Yu’s previous creation of business wonders, they had invested almost their entire fortune in this state-of-the-art holographic game. If Rong Yu experienced a setback at this critical juncture, all their previous efforts would be in vain.

Therefore, the organization’s members rushed over and forcibly entered Rong Yu’s company, determined to subject her to another round of brainwashing in an attempt to bring her back to consciousness.

They tried to halt the operation of the game and prevent Rong Yu from traversing the small worlds. The mysterious attacks that Song Xu Yi encountered in the game were all orchestrated by these organization members.

However, they were unaware that Rong Yu had already contacted the police. When their full attention was focused on Rong Yu, their forced intrusion into Rong Yu’s company gave the police sufficient reason to arrest them. The police followed the leads and located their hideout, uncovering all the evidence of their crimes.

After Song Xu Yi woke up, everything had settled.

The only thing Rong Yu didn’t anticipate was that her secretary, in a desperate move, had also informed Song Xu Yi while conveying the information to the organization.

In an effort to save her, Song Xu Yi also entered the game…

Due to the holographic game’s automatic matching system, Song Xu Yi found herself in various worlds with the name ‘Song Xu Yi’.

Because of Rong Yu’s hatred, she was matched with the world’s villains. However, due to Song Xu Yi, her hatred was constantly dissipating, and her mental world began to stabilize significantly. All her memories returned, her potential was fully activated, and she possessed the most immense power, capable even of destroying the planet.

It was Song Xu Yi who saved her once again, both in body and spirit.

Only Song Xu Yi could save her.

As per the game’s settings, after waking up, Rong Yu initially thought that Song Xu Yi would forget everything about the small worlds. However, to Rong Yu’s surprise, Song Xu Yi remembered the first small world…

To some extent, Song Xu Yi had become a member of Rong Yu’s kind, which is why her memory and physical abilities suddenly skyrocketed upon leaving the game.

With no more constraints, Rong Yu allowed her inner desires to take control once again, entwining herself with Song Xu Yi.

She didn’t want to expose her own shortcomings to Song Xu Yi, especially considering that she had once caused Song Xu Yi to lose her memory. She had initially thought there would be enough time to pursue Song Xu Yi, for them to become true spouses. However, she never expected to receive a divorce agreement…

Rong Yu carefully selected her words, omitting their childhood meeting and only mentioning that she had liked Song Xu Yi for many years and the difficulties that had forced her to distance herself.

Listening to Rong Yu’s narrative, Song Xu Yi gradually fell silent…

She had never imagined that Rong Yu had liked her for so many years, let alone that Rong Yu had been burdened with so much…

“Xu Yi, please don’t abandon me, okay?”

Rong Yu looked at Song Xu Yi with teary eyes, her gaze shimmering as she gently kissed Song Xu Yi’s cheek.

This time, as she softly kissed Song Xu Yi’s cheek, her expression even carried a hint of humility. After the initial anger had subsided, Rong Yu’s rationality gradually returned. She knew that Song Xu Yi couldn’t resist her in this state.

As expected, upon seeing Rong Yu’s expression, Song Xu Yi’s heart once again filled with compassion.

“I like you too,” Song Xu Yi said, biting her lip and hurriedly comforting Rong Yu. After speaking her heartfelt words, Song Xu Yi felt a sense of relief.

However, Rong Yu didn’t seem to believe her words. She widened her beautiful eyes and smiled wistfully, saying, “Xu Yi, I know you’re a kind person, and even if you’re just being sympathetic to me, I’m still very happy…”

“I’m really not just sympathizing with you. I genuinely like you.”

Song Xu Yi didn’t expect Rong Yu to be this hesitant. To prove that her feelings were genuine, Song Xu Yi thought that since they were legally married and had already confessed their feelings for each other, she should take a bold step. With determination, she leaned in, meeting Rong Yu’s disbelieving yet hopeful gaze, and blushed as she kissed her…

After the kiss ended, Song Xu Yi lifted her head and, trying to appear nonchalant, asked Rong Yu, whose eyes were still filled with anticipation, “Is that enough to prove that I like you?”

“Not enough!” Rong Yu, with seductive eyes and a silky voice, laughed as she embraced Song Xu Yi and kissed her again. When she released Song Xu Yi once more, Song Xu Yi realized that they were already in Rong Yu’s room…

As Song Xu Yi stared in astonishment, Rong Yu leaned down slowly, lightly nibbling Song Xu Yi’s earlobe, and whispered huskily,

“I’ll teach you what ‘enough’ really means.”

……

Song Xu Yi had lost count of how many times she had pleaded for mercy and couldn’t remember when she had finally fallen asleep.

In those countless dreams, Song Xu Yi experienced a fragment of her childhood memories once again.

What she didn’t know was that during those dark days, Rong Yu had been her pillar of support.

She would gently wipe away the tears at the corners of Song Xu Yi’s eyes, clumsily call out her name in the darkness, and give all the food to Song Xu Yi. In the end, she even exchanged her memories with those people to send Song Xu Yi back home.

Little did they know that their fate had spanned so many years, and they had missed out on so much in between…

Song Xu Yi couldn’t bear the ache in her heart and opened her eyes.

The morning sunlight streamed in through the window, illuminating Rong Yu’s flawless sleeping face. There was a faint smile at the corner of her mouth, and Song Xu Yi had never seen Rong Yu sleep so peacefully before…

Looking at Rong Yu like this, Song Xu Yi’s heart gradually settled down, and before her eyes, she began to see a dirty, dirt-covered face.

Back then, Song Xu Yi couldn’t clearly see Rong Yu’s actual appearance because Rong Yu mostly kept her head down, with a face covered in dirt, looking thin and emaciated. She had no idea that Rong Yu had such a beautiful face.

But her eyes were the same.

Whether it was in their childhood or now, she could always see the unwavering trust and affection for her in those eyes.

Her heart turned into a puddle in that moment, and Song Xu Yi instantly understood the reason why Rong Yu hadn’t told her about their childhood acquaintance.

“What’s your name?”

“Rong… Rong Yu.”

When they first met, Rong Yu stumbled while introducing her name, and Song Xu Yi reassured her not to be afraid. At the same time, she told Rong Yu her own name.

And at this moment…

Meeting Rong Yu’s open eyes, Song Xu Yi intertwined their fingers, smiling as she held Rong Yu’s hand in the morning light.

“Let me introduce myself once again, little Rong Yu. I am Song Xu Yi. I’m the one you love most in this world and who loves you the most. Rong Yu’s wife!”

……

All missed opportunities, circling and wandering, will reunite on a future day.

Love, powerful enough to counter all twists and turns.

In the end, there is someone: granting you a lifetime, fulfilling your wishes.
