Chapter 28

“Buried with her, huh… Don’t stain Xixi’s path to reincarnation,” Qin Ruolin said weakly as she propped herself up and stood. “Fu Mingyu, you’ll regret this. Just wait until you see the true face of the woman in your arms…”
Standing behind Qin Ruolin, my hoarse voice broke the silence. “Fu Mingyu, those who betray sincere hearts will swallow a thousand needles…”
Fu Mingyu averted his gaze, his eyes flickering. “The truth… You’ll all see it at my wedding the day after tomorrow.”
He was still so certain that I wasn’t dead.
Leaving the police station, Fu Mingyu released Bai Yuan from his arms, his posture visibly dejected.
“Mingyu…” Bai Yuan nervously supported him when she noticed his unsteady state, almost letting him stumble into the iron gate.
Fu Mingyu waved his hand. “I’m fine…”
“Mingyu, do you think… it’s possible that something really happened to Xixi?” Bai Yuan asked softly, testing the waters.
I didn’t know why I followed them out. Maybe it was because I wanted to rip them both apart.
“Impossible!” Fu Mingyu suddenly lost control, shouting at Bai Yuan. “She can’t die!”
Bai Yuan flinched, her face turning pale.
Realizing his outburst, Fu Mingyu rubbed his forehead with his hand. “Sorry… Yuan Yuan, you go back first… I have something to take care of.”
“Mingyu… do you still have feelings for her?” Bai Yuan asked, her eyes moist.
“Fu Mingyu, make yourself clear.” Seeing that Fu Mingyu was leaving, Bai Yuan cried and chased after him. “You said you only saw Cheng Xi as a sister. What are you afraid of? If she’s dead, isn’t that better? Then she’d never bother us again.”
Fu Mingyu froze mid-step, turning back to look at Bai Yuan with a frown. “She’s not dead! At our wedding the day after tomorrow, she’ll definitely appear.”
“What if she doesn’t show up?” Bai Yuan asked hesitantly.
“She will… She will come.”
It was as if Fu Mingyu was possessed, repeating over and over again that I would show up.
I laughed coldly as I watched Fu Mingyu. Deep down, he probably had some doubts that I might already be dead.
What kind of lunatic would rip out all ten of their fingernails and put them on someone else’s corpse…
Fu Mingyu knew well that I would scream at the sight of a bug, let alone commit murder.
He couldn’t possibly be delusional enough to think I was the serial killer.
Sending Bai Yuan back with the driver, Fu Mingyu walked alone into the night.
I followed behind him, mocking him silently.
“I’m dead. Shouldn’t you feel relieved?” My hoarse voice drifted into the air, knowing full well he couldn’t hear me.
Yet he suddenly stopped, turning his head sharply before dejectedly lowering it again, rubbing his forehead in frustration.
Taking out his phone, Fu Mingyu opened my WeChat.
For the first time, I saw his phone. He had pinned my WeChat to the top. How ridiculous.
Was it so he could find me faster when he wanted to torment me?
Or was it to mock me whenever he wanted to humiliate me?
“Cheng Xi… you win,” Fu Mingyu said hoarsely as he sent me a message. “Come back. As long as you come back… I’ll call off my engagement with Bai Yuan.”
Leaning against the wall, he looked like he was either granting a favour or feeling pity.
Perhaps today’s sight of those ten fingernails had truly frightened him.
I sneered at Fu Mingyu, standing before him. “When I loved you… you pushed me into the abyss. Fu Mingyu, you’re the one who killed me.”
Fu Mingyu kept sending message after message, but I could no longer reply.
Fu Mingyu, I’m dead.
No one can save me now…
The despair I feel now is nothing compared to when I was alive…
I remember the day Fu Mingyu found out I liked him. The look in his eyes was filled with disgust.
“I see you as a sister. Our Fu family feeds and clothes you, and you dare to have such filthy thoughts about me?” He tore up my love letter, looking at me with reproach. “Focus on your studies. Don’t let me catch you dating before you get into college.”
At that moment, the look in Fu Mingyu’s eyes was enough to make anyone despair.
What Fu Mingyu didn’t know was that I had already given up when he tore up my love letter.
It was he who clung to the past, unable to let it go, constantly tormenting me.
If I got close to a boy, he would humiliate me. If a boy confessed to me, he would slander me.
For a long time, I doubted myself. Was I truly so terrible that he hated me so much?
“Cheng Xi… Where the hell are you!” Fu Mingyu shouted into the night, his frustration boiling over. “You win, okay? Cheng Xi… you win. You’ve succeeded. You’ve scared me. Come back, come back…”
Fu Mingyu crouched on the ground, sending me message after message, begging me to return.
I watched his pitiful state and found it amusing.
What was this? Fear?
What was the point now…
For the first time, I felt anticipation. Anticipation for the day Fu Mingyu finds my corpse.
Anticipation for the day Fu Mingyu learns that it was Bai Yuan who killed me.
Anticipation for the day Fu Mingyu discovers the truth, that I never pushed Bai Yuan down the stairs, that I never hurt anyone, and that while they bullied me in secret, I endured it all…
