Bai Ge: Why Don't You Just Love Me~ (Continued)
Putting aside the moral and ethical issues involved, Bai Ge was genuinely moved!
The Herrscher of the Void's hysterical feelings for herself, stemming from her excessive love for herself, led to hatred towards the world that had hurt her, leaving Bai Ge at a loss for words.
Rejection? Not at all!
How insane must he be to reject a Queen who loves him so much that she'd defy the world?!
While the Herrscher of the Void was saying those words, Bai Ge's heart was pounding wildly. He was really smitten!
And the result was...
Bai was instantly won over.
"Thank you, my Queen, for being willing to stand against the world for me, but you no longer need to do that, because... now you are also someone I am determined to protect."
Bai Ge rested his face on the Queen's fragrant shoulder, gently inhaling her scent, while feeling a little incredulous.
It was undoubtedly Kiana's body, but for some reason, it felt a little different from when he hugged the Kiana. However, even though the feeling was different, he liked it just the same!
Anyway, he has already decided to include the Queen in his heart. For someone like Bai Ge, it is important who he falls in love with, but even more important is who will love him.
He can exert 200% of his strength for the former, and he can do anything for the latter!
"I'm already someone you're meant to protect?"
The Queen also widened her eyes in surprise.
The moment Bai Ge embraced her, her brain seemed to malfunction and crash, rendering her unable to think.
For a Herrscher of the Void who had secretly loved Bai Ge for over a decade and only interacted with the boy through memories and secret observation, Bai Ge's direct confession and passionate embrace were like using a cannon to kill a mosquito—far too much!
"No, no, how can I become one of your weaknesses! You can't think like that!"
Although she said that, the Queen's heart was involuntarily racing.
The Queen thought that her existence would surely make Bai Ge feel disgusted, but she was determined to create a world where he would no longer get hurt while protecting others, even if he was hated.
This level of awareness is certainly astonishing.
But this also means that the Queen never imagined that Bai Ge would like her, or what that would feel like.
But now she understands that even though she knows she shouldn't be liked, because if she were, she wouldn't be able to be ruthless, the result is that she can't help but feel happy.
"Aha~ That's impossible. Other emotions can be controlled, but love is an irrational emotion. Once it arises, it's impossible to suppress or ignore it."
"How so..."
The Herrscher of the Void was overjoyed but also found it unacceptable.
She had turned into the very thing she hated most.
It's utterly absurd that I myself have become a chain binding Bai Ge!
"Don't make that face. Didn't I say before that the reason I'm strong is because of you all whom I want to protect? If it weren't for you, I would just be an ordinary person now."
Bai Ge shrugged and said with a smile.
Did he ever regret gaining power?
No, not at all.
All he felt was joy. Finally, he could stop being a helpless bystander, and he could stop being just a wise janitor who could do the splits in mid-air. He could finally transform this imperfect story into the way he wanted it to be.
He finally managed to break those damn miHoYo screenwriters' swords one by one! He rewrote those tragedies that were destined to happen, one by one!
Although the possible outcome is that Bai Ge himself becomes one of those knives, he wouldn't mind if that happened.
"By the way, I'm actually not that strong. If any of you were missing, I'm afraid I would be so desperate and sad that my heart would break."
Bai Ge nuzzled Queen Kiana's cheek and said.
"..."
The latter immediately fell silent again and started to argue.
The Queen couldn't help but wonder, if that were the case, could she really still destroy the world?
I'm afraid that's not possible.
Even though her actions and intentions were distorted and extreme, the Herrscher of the Void's feelings for Bai Ge were undoubtedly pure love.
She can accept that Bai Ge dislikes her.
But she couldn't accept being the one who hurt him.
"... You are really too cunning, Bai Ge."
Raising her hand to touch the boy's cheek, the Herrscher of the Void said helplessly, "How can she destroy the world like this? Doesn't she have no choice but to Honkai her job and switch sides with Honkai?"
(Honkai: "Alright, alright, here we go again!")
"You're always so kind. Can't you stop trying to save others? You always end up putting yourself in danger."
"Is that so? I think most of it is under control. Besides... rather than letting tragedy befall you, if it can be offset by me getting a little hurt, wouldn't that be a good deal?"
As Bai Ge spoke, he raised his hand to touch his heart. In any case, he wouldn't die from a mere injury, and there was no wound in this world that could leave a mark on him.
If a little blood and a little pain could perfectly resolve everything, then Bai Ge would think the deal was very profitable.
However, once those words were spoken...
Not only the Herrscher of the Void, but also the others around her couldn't sit still and expressed their inability to accept it.
"Ah, you've always been like this, Bai Ge, you've always been like this!"
"Even though they were covered in wounds, they would still smile gently at us."
"You saved me, you saved everyone, but you never considered your own safety!"
"The Herrscher of the Void, Raiden Mei, "Sirin said, clenching her hands in disbelief as she looked at him.
"But this is something only I can do..."
Bai Ge was also overwhelmed by the three's imposing aura and involuntarily took a step back.
"I know all that you're saying, but how can you expect me to endure all of this!"
All three rushed forward and hugged Bai Ge.
The girls' eyes were filled with tears, and their embrace was so tight that it seemed as if it were a chain to bind him and prevent him from doing things that would put him in danger.
"All I know is that in my heart, you are more important than ourselves, more important than this world!"
"..."
The girls' intense and sincere emotions impacted Bai Ge's soul. Their penetrating and straightforward words seemed to steal his heart, and an indescribable emotion filled his entire body.
Bai Ge's eyes were glistening with tears.
"I'm sorry for making you worry all this time..."
"Idiot, then take better care of yourself. Don't always think about saving others. Save some of your love for yourself. Be a little selfish."
"That sounds really difficult. I don't really know how to do what you're talking about, since I'm already very satisfied with my life right now."
Bai Ge said with a wry smile that life in the Valkyrie dormitory was like a dream to him every day.
If you were to say that he selfishly wanted to covet more, that would be a different story.
The only thing Bai Ge could think of was breaking more knives and rewriting more tragedies.
"Idiot! Bai Ge, you hopeless idiot!"
As if reading his thoughts from his eyes, the Herrscher of the Void and the others gritted their teeth, feeling sad.
They wish this person could be a little worse, that he would think of himself before others.
Her tragedy has nothing to do with you... although if you really say that, they can all imagine it.
Bai Ge would definitely say something like, "Because I already know, I can't ignore it."
"Sorry, it seems I'm not very good at taking care of myself, but it's okay anyway~"
"Bai Ge, what are you saying! How can it be unrelated!"
"Because I have you all here."
Bai Ge smiled and looked at the girls in front of him with tenderness and reassurance in his eyes.
"You'll love me well, right?"
"...!!!"
Upon hearing this, Herrscher of the Void and Mei, among others, felt their hearts skip a beat, and for a moment they didn't know what to say.
But at the same time, I felt that what Bai Ge said made a lot of sense.
Yes, since he's not good at being good to himself, then I can be the one to be good to him!
I can give back to him tenfold, a hundredfold, a thousandfold of the love I received from him. Ah, yes, isn't that all I need to do?
And not only that, I also need to become stronger, strong enough that I no longer need Bai Ge to risk his life, strong enough that this person will never have the chance to be injured or bleed again.
The best solution, it seems, is still to lock him in a dark room for life. Bai Ge always seems to run off to do dangerous things or rescue others without warning. To prevent any accidents from happening to him, it's best to keep him locked up in a dark room.
Bound up with chains and stay by his side without stopping, never letting him disappear from her sight again.
Anyway, I can handle his daily chores for him.
