Chapter 1436: Chapter 422: Can’t Bear Her Suffering (3)

"Dear daughter, my living expenses for this month are gone. Could you transfer a few thousand to your mom~"

That night, North Sea District, outside the factory.

Bai Yi looked at the message from her mother on her phone, and her mouth twitched slightly.

Gripping her phone with some difficulty, she vented to Yan Huan in her mind,

"It’s a bit too real to feel comfortable..."

"Meow?"

Yan Huan turned her head to look, hesitated for a moment, but still pressed the "transfer" button, sending some money to Zuo Jiangqin.

Confused, Yan Huan asked,

"If it makes you uncomfortable, why are you transferring money to her, meow?"

"...Well, it’s all just an if-line, not real, so why not transfer it. Besides, at least in this if-line, my mom says some nice things when asking for money..."

Upon hearing this, Yan Huan glanced at Bai Yi’s face with a hint of a smile.

He couldn’t understand it either. Does this count as nice words?

Even if they were nice words, is there a need to smile because of them?

"..."

But as he looked on, the smile on her face inevitably faded a bit.

Noticing this, Yan Huan couldn’t bear it and actively changed the topic,

"Speaking of which, we’ve been out for quite a while, meow. Once this if-line is over, should we take a break?"

"A break?"

Yan Huan nodded and then explained,

"If we go back to the past and do nothing, there shouldn’t be any impact. We can take this chance to rest for a bit..."

"...Forget it. I want... to save Yan Huan quickly. Once everything is over, we can have a good rest, can’t we?"

"..."

Gazing at her side profile marked by determination, Yan Huan lowered his gaze and couldn’t help but ask,

"Do you... really want to save Yan Huan that much?"

"Of course!"

"...Why?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Yi’s face flushed slightly, and then she furiously poked Yan Huan’s head,

"Don’t you know? Because I like him!"

"Like... There are many levels of liking, isn’t reaching a life-and-death level too exaggerated?"

"Uh... because he was like that to me too..."

Bai Yi opened her mouth, and then memories she didn’t want to recall flooded her mind.

She hugged her knees, her body curling up in response,

"That day, when the ambulance was crashing over, I was already waiting to die... He rushed over and pushed me away, but he himself..."

Recalling the scene of Yan Huan’s tragic death before her eyes that day, she sniffled, wiped her eye corners, and found it hard to continue.

"..."

Upon hearing this, Yan Huan felt even more ashamed and said,

"Could it be possible that he knew he wouldn’t die even if he did that, so he was that brave, meow..."

"Thud!"

Before he could finish his sentence, Yan Huan took another punch from her.

And this time, it hurt a lot.

"Meow?!"

Raising his head, all he saw was a very serious Bai Yi,

"I’ve told you, Yan Ye, stop badmouthing Yan Huan! Believe it or not, I’ll abandon you?"

"..."

Yan Huan wagged his tail, momentarily unsure of what to say.

Seeing this, Bai Yi victoriously picked Yan Huan up and raised him above her head.

Her starry eyes flickered as she looked at Yan Huan and seriously said,

"Yan Ye, at that time, about to be crashed by the car, do you know what I was thinking?"

"...What were you thinking, meow?"

"I was actually thinking about accepting fate..."

"Accepting fate?"

"Yeah... Because since I was young, I’ve been used to: once anything happens, I have to take the consequences myself."

Bai Yi tilted her head, her gaze looking elsewhere,

"At that time, I was thinking this way too. So, I closed my eyes, ready... to wait for death."

"But I didn’t expect Yan Huan to push me away..."

"..."

As she spoke, Bai Yi raised her eyes again to look at Yan Huan, and said,

"At that moment, I suddenly felt wronged; it’s like at that instant when Yan Huan saved me, I realized the pain of no one helping me before.

"Precisely because I realized this pain, now, when Yan Huan also falls into a situation where no one can help him and is doomed to suffer such a bad outcome, I can’t just stand by...

"I don’t want... him to feel the same way I did.

"I also want him to feel the happiness I felt when I opened my eyes and saw him save me."

Yan Huan’s golden eyes widened slightly at her words, allowing Bai Yi’s reflection to take root and speak within them.

It took a while before he belatedly realized:

He had been looking at her for a long time.

"I see..."

Thus, he casually responded and looked up to avoid her stunning face.

Just in time, he found a subject to change the topic,

"...Yuanlina is here, meow."

"Yuanlina?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Yi blinked and was just about to turn around and explain what she was doing...

After all, Yan Huan is in a virtualization state now, and she’s holding him up, making it look like some unknown ritual for worshiping an Evil God.

But before she could turn her head, Yan Huan’s eyes narrowed slightly, and he hurriedly shouted,

"Bai Yi! Duck down!!!"

"Huh?"

Hearing Yan Huan’s urgent shout, Bai Yi had already turned her head halfway.

So she barely saw behind her...

That horrific figure of Yuanlina, with a face full of struggle and pain, one of her eyes turning an eerie purple as she raised a dagger high towards herself.

Tears streaming down her face, Yuanlina raised the blade towards Bai Yi and couldn’t help but say,

"Run...run, Bai Yi!"
