You Owe Me, My Love

Bai Rong followed Su Xuyan to his apartment during the wee hours of the night.

He took a syringe from the fridge, sat at the dining table, and gestured for her to sit next to him.

Bai Rong went with the flow and rolled up her sleeve. Her eyes were affixed to the turquoise fluid-filled syringe.

“Doesn’t the probability of death worry you? I told you before that once the pernicious virus spreads, not only will you feel that your muscles are being ripped apart, but you’ll also be bleeding from your eyes and ears.” Su Xuyan curled his lips.

“I thought you’re the one who wanted this?” Bai Rong turned toward him insouciantly. She would rather die on her feet than live on her knees. She was ready to give up her life for Gu Mingchen’s.

“Huh,” he tittered.

She’s right. I was the one who wanted this. Perhaps I’m expecting her to beg for my forgiveness? But even if she did, I’m still going to go through with this.

Jab! He drove the needle into her arm.

She trembled, and sweat dotted her forehead. As her head began to spin, all she could hear were the echoes of her breath.

She plunged into total darkness and lost all her senses.

The only thing she held dear to was her belief. Despite the loneliness she was about to face, she had no regrets.

As her sight gradually recovered, the sound of the clock ticking away rippled into her ears.

She threw Su Xuyan a sidelong glance.

“You have to take this once a month. If you feel excruciating pain all over your body, and blood starts to come out from your nose, eyes, and ears, that’s the end,” Su Xuyan explained.

“How long more can I live for?” Bai Rong was as calm as a millpond.

Su Xuyan’s tensed up at the thought of her death. His feigned calmness couldn’t conceal the anxiety that had surfaced in his eyes. “As long as I want.”

Hearing that, there weren’t any changes to her expression. To her, living longer wasn’t something that would gladden her.
