Bibi Dong: After All, I Only Have You

Bibi Dong: After All, I Only Have You

"Cheng Xiao."

Bibi Dong's gaze at Qian Chengxiao was practically dripping with affection. But when Qian Chengxiao heard her words and saw that she wanted to take his hand, he quickly stepped half a pace back.

"We're not familiar."

As Qian Chengxiao's icy voice rang out, Bibi Dong, who had been looking at him with expectation in her eyes, turned pale.

Her body trembled slightly as she stared in disbelief at the utterly indifferent Qian Chengxiao before unconsciously taking half a step back as well.

"Impossible, impossible..."

"How could this happen? How could this happen?"

Feeling Qian Chengxiao's cold attitude toward her, Bibi Dong was completely stunned. She lowered her head and stood there blankly, murmuring to herself without end.

Yet Qian Chengxiao did not notice any of this.

At that moment, Qian Chengxiao's attention had been drawn to Qian Daoliu.

"Brat, come here."

While Bibi Dong was drowning in self-doubt, Qian Daoliu called Qian Chengxiao over.

"Teacher, what is it?"

Qian Chengxiao came before Qian Daoliu. Looking at him, countless emotions welled up within Qian Chengxiao.

To him, Qian Daoliu had treated him even better than Chihiro Ji had.

Even after Bibi Dong killed his son, Chihiro Ji, he still treated his daughter Qian Renxue as his own great-granddaughter.

"Call me Grandfather."

"Although I took you as my disciple, you are also Ji Er's adopted son."

"From now on, call me Grandfather. Don't call me Teacher."

"Yes, Grandfather."

Hearing Qian Daoliu's words, Qian Chengxiao smiled faintly.

Inside, however, he was barely holding it together. He ran through every miserable thing he could think of in his mind.

Otherwise, he would have burst out laughing.

Ji Er? What the hell kind of nickname was that? How had he never noticed it before?

Right, right. Back then, all his attention had been fixed on Bibi Dong. How could he have spared any attention for anything else?

As Qian Chengxiao faced Qian Daoliu, Bibi Dong, who had been trapped in self-doubt, suddenly froze. Then she stared dumbly at the small figure standing before Qian Daoliu.

He had been reborn too.

She absolutely, absolutely could not let him know that she had returned through rebirth as well.

Otherwise, otherwise...

She would never have another chance in this life.

At that thought, determination flashed through Bibi Dong's eyes.

How could she gain his love and care without him noticing?

In her previous life, she had hurt him far, far too deeply.

Otherwise, he would never have said those words that shattered her heart.

"Bibi Dong, what are you thinking about? It's time to go."

Qian Daoliu had already led Qian Chengxiao outside, and Chihiro Ji had stepped out through the gates of the Pope's Palace.

Turning to look at Bibi Dong, who stood dazed inside the Pope's Palace, Chihiro Ji asked her.

"I'm coming, Teacher."

Hearing Chihiro Ji's voice, Bibi Dong snapped back to her senses and hurried outside.

If this had been her previous life, before she had truly seen through Yu Xiaogang and Qian Chengxiao, Bibi Dong would definitely have sliced Chihiro Ji into a thousand pieces again.

But in this life, a sliver of hope rose in Bibi Dong's heart once more.

That was for Chihiro Ji to make Qian Chengxiao the Secret Room Douluo again. That way, she and he could be bound tightly together.

This time, she absolutely would not repeat her past mistakes.

The person she had once hated most had now become her hope—and the person she was most grateful to.

It was fine, it was fine. At this point, she could still cling to his side for another three years.

It would not be until three years later, when she lost her mind, that she began sleeping separately from him.

Thinking this, Bibi Dong happily followed Chihiro Ji onto the carriage.

Inside the carriage, once Bibi Dong entered, Qian Chengxiao did not even glance at her. He simply closed his eyes to rest.

Bibi Dong, who had boarded with Chihiro Ji, looked at Qian Chengxiao sitting opposite her with his eyes closed, and waves of pain twisted through her heart.

Seeing this, Bibi Dong became even more certain that Qian Chengxiao had been reborn as well.

From the moment they met in the Pope's Palace, Qian Chengxiao's attitude toward her, the fact that he had not called for her when they left, and now his refusal to sit with her or acknowledge her on the carriage—all of it made Bibi Dong feel his indifference and distance.

"These two children are interesting today."

"Especially Cheng Xiao, that brat. Didn't he always love following Bibi Dong around?"

"Why did he start resting with his eyes closed as soon as he got on the carriage?"

Seeing the scene in the carriage, Chihiro Ji, seated beside Bibi Dong, immediately laughed.

"Could these two little ones have had some sort of spat?"

As he said this, Chihiro Ji deliberately glanced at his dear adopted son, Qian Chengxiao.

Qian Chengxiao, who sat there resting with his eyes closed, completely ignored Chihiro Ji's words, as though he had not heard them.

In contrast, Bibi Dong's eyes lit up slightly as she sat beside Chihiro Ji.

"Teacher, it's not like that."

"Cheng Xiao and I slept together last night. I stole all the blankets and accidentally kicked him off the bed."

"He's been ignoring me all morning because of that."

As she said this, Bibi Dong's eyes shifted slightly. Smiling sweetly, she moved close to Qian Chengxiao and wrapped both arms around one of his.

Feeling someone clutch his arm against her chest, Qian Chengxiao opened his eyes. Looking at Bibi Dong smiling at him beside him, he narrowed his eyes slightly. "What are you doing?"

"Cheng Xiao, please don't be angry with me, okay?"

"After all, I only have you..."

Only she herself understood the meaning behind those words.

As she said them, Bibi Dong looked at him with a pitiful expression.

"After all, I only have you..."

Hearing Bibi Dong's words, Qian Chengxiao murmured them softly, a cold sneer appearing on his face.

Yes. After all, I only have you. In his previous life, those words had been devastatingly powerful.

It was those very words that had given him the illusion that Bibi Dong had only him, and loved only him.

"You have plenty of people. We are merely passersby to each other."

"And stop acting as though you only have me. After all, you are nothing to me, and I am nothing to you."

As he spoke, Qian Chengxiao tried to pull his arm free from Bibi Dong's embrace.

Unfortunately, Bibi Dong held him too tightly, and he could not pull away at all.

Every word Qian Chengxiao spoke pierced Bibi Dong's heart like a sharp blade, leaving her in unbearable agony.

But she could not show it. She could not let him see any flaw in her expression.

With that thought, Bibi Dong hugged his arm tightly and smiled faintly at Qian Chengxiao. "Good big brother, don't be angry anymore."

"I really didn't mean it last night. I definitely won't kick you off the bed again."

"Heh."

Hearing Bibi Dong's words, Qian Chengxiao gave a disdainful laugh.
