Confession

When Yimo returned, Tong Muxue had already woken up.

She was wearing a hospital gown, quietly leaning against the hospital bed, gazing out the window in a daze.

The ∞ Room was dark, and the quiet moonlight shone through the window, casting a thin, silvery veil over Tong Muxue.

This made her already pale complexion, caused by blood deficiency, appear even more lifeless.

It's somewhat ethereal, as if it could disappear at any moment, making it impossible to grasp.

Yimo suddenly felt her heart clench a few times, and she felt a little short of breath.

But I forced myself to look a little normal and walked over.

Yimo to peel an apple for Tong Muxue.

But he still couldn't move his right hand; he simply couldn't do it.

When Tong Muxue saw Yimo arrive, she smiled faintly at him and said, "Have a seat."

She gently patted the hospital bed next to her, then picked up the apple and knife beside her and started peeling the apple.

Yimo: "Rest well, don't move."

"I'll ask the Nurse for help in a bit."

Tong Muxue: "I'm fine. I'm not that delicate, and I'm not so sick that I can't even peel an apple."

"Let's not trouble others."

Tong Muxue never spoke in a harsh tone.

But they are always irresistible, and their strength is heartbreaking.

Before Yimo could speak, Tong Muxue spoke first.

"Hehe, Mr. Sakata, I'm sorry."

"Actually, I'm a liar."

"Although you always call me 'little rich girl,' I actually don't have any money at all..."

Yimo: "I don't care."

"I'm a con artist too, and I feel like we're a perfect match."

In fact, Yimo had vaguely sensed before that there was something wrong with Tong Muxue's identity.

Tong Muxue shook her head and said, "But I'll mind."

"Now, I'll tell you everything about myself."

Yimo: "It's okay... no..."

Tong Muxue put down the apple and reached out to cover Yimo's lips. "Let me speak."

Yimo nodded.

Tong Muxue: "Actually, I was an abandoned baby."

"He was an adopted child."

"And my adoptive father was a big liar."

"They look glamorous and successful on the outside."

"But the money earned through deception, the debts incurred, can never be repaid in several lifetimes."

I was born with Hemophilia, but it wasn't as severe when I was little.

"After my adoptive father finished drinking, he would always look at me happily and say, 'Hemophilia is a royal disease; only the wealthy have it.'"

"I'm his precious darling."

"Hehe, isn't it ridiculous? I'm totally troubled by this."

"His purpose in raising me was merely to package me as a Rich Heiress, then marry me into a Top-Tier Elite Family, so that he could live a more comfortable life in his later years."

"He did spend a lot of money on me, sending me to the best schools and finding people to teach me everything he could think of that was useful."

At this point, Tong Muxue looked at Yimo and smiled, "So, what I told you before..."

"It's true that I spent my entire childhood studying."

"However, I was forced to learn. If I couldn't learn or learned slowly, I would be locked in a cage until I learned it."

Yimo placed her hand in Tong Muxue's hand and listened quietly as she spoke, bit by bit.

Tong Muxue: "However, I'm actually quite smart, so that cage is just for show."

"It was when I was a kid, I secretly ran away once, and when I got caught, I was locked up for a really long time."

"I've told you about this before; it's the mountain I took you to."

"I originally intended to jump."

"But when I saw the city at night, I was truly awestruck."

"I always thought that when I grew up, I would definitely run away!"

"I want to live!"

"The most important thing my adoptive father taught me was to lie."

"And I've decided to lie to him too!"

Tong Muxue said, somewhat embarrassed, "And when you lie to so many people, sometimes you start to feel like you really are an Heiress from the Great Elite Family."

"A year ago, my adoptive father was diagnosed with Blood Cancer, and to be honest, I was happy."

"And six months ago, before my adoptive father died, he held my hand and told me that the thing he regretted most in his life was raising me to be a conman. At that moment, I suddenly felt a pang of guilt."

"No matter what, he raised me, provided me with the best educational resources, and always gave me the best in terms of food, clothing, and shelter."

"If it weren't for him, I might have died long ago."

"Hehe..."

"Perhaps it's karma."

"Not long after he died, I was also diagnosed with Blood Cancer."

"Actually, for a long time, I was very anxious."

"During the day, I also have to play the role of Good Senior in everyone's eyes and Good Student in the teachers' eyes, rejecting one Young Master after another who pursues me because of my appearance."

"But the nights are filled with sleepless nights; Torment by the illness, I often contemplate suicide."

"I've suppressed my true nature for too long, and I really don't dare to try anything."

"But!"

"Later, I figured it out."

"Since I'm going to die anyway, why can't I choose how I die?"

I've never been in a relationship.

"So I prayed to Gods that I wanted a Boyfriend."

"He doesn't have to be too handsome, and he doesn't have to be rich, but he must be interesting."

"Hehe, right, and they can't have any dating experience."

"Because I have no dating experience, I'm afraid I won't be able to handle it and it will be very embarrassing."

Upon hearing this, Yimo laughed, "So I really did show up."

Tong Muxue quickly nodded. "Yes, yes! You've appeared!"

"Although I wasn't particularly satisfied at first."

"But the more I get to know you, the more I realize that you are the Naka no Hito!"

"It's that Naka no Hito who descended from the heavens riding on Qicai clouds to save me!"

Yimo: "But... I..."

Yimo say that he was just Zhizunbao, unable to transform into the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, and therefore unable to truly save her from her dire situation.

But Tong Muxue seemed to know what Yimo was about to say, and interrupted him, preventing him from continuing.

Tong Muxue: "The 'Eye of the Abyss' doesn't actually belong to my family."

"It was my adoptive father who had been planning something big all along, starting when the Century Building was built."

He told me that he was determined to steal a treasure from the Century Building that would be enough for him to live on for several lifetimes.

"I stole the 'Eye of the Abyss' only to help him fulfill his dying Wish."

"Anyway, I'm going to die eventually, right?"

"Our theft of the 'Eye of the Abyss' went so smoothly simply because my adoptive father had been preparing for this plan for a full 10 years."

"Actually, I didn't think I would definitely succeed. I was thinking that if I failed, I would take all the blame myself."

"Hehe, it seems quite interesting to burst all the bubbles of lies."

"I'm really looking forward to seeing what my teachers and classmates will think when they find out who I really am."

Yimo: "But we succeeded."

Tong Muxue: "Yes, we succeeded."

"The title 'Abyssal Bandit Couple' is a bit strange, but I quite like it."

At this point, Tong Muxue smiled faintly at Yimo and said, "Sorry, I'm just a penniless big liar."

Everything I said to you before was a lie.

"So..." Tong Muxue bit her lip.

Let's break up.

Yimo just stared Jingjing at Tong Muxue, at her pale face. "Even your feelings for me, were they all a lie?"

Tong Muxue turned to look out the window, and after a moment, nodded. "Yes, it was a lie to you too."

Tong Muxue's favorability rating: 99%.

Yimo: "Finally, is there any Wish you'd like me to fulfill for you?"

Tong Muxue shook her head. "No, that's all."

"I've done everything I wanted to do. I just want to spend my last days peacefully in the hospital."

Wish 5: I want a healthy body.

Yimo: "Darling, you really are a big liar."

At this Yimo suddenly remembered that on the first day they met, when they went shopping at the Shopping Mall, he asked her about her Wish.

Tong Muxue once said this in a joking tone.

"Then let all diseases in the world disappear."

She really wanted to keep living.

All reckless actions stem from a discontent with one's fate.

It's just to prove that I'm still alive.

Tong Muxue: "Yeah, he's a big liar."

"So, Mr. Sakata, what's your answer?"

Upon Yimo suddenly laughed.

"Okay, let's break up."

"After we broke up, I cut off all contact with you."

"An Bingyan will send you to the America to receive the best treatment in the world."

People say that Good Person young, while bad people live long.

"Since you're a big liar and a bad person, then you might as well keep living."

"Your life has just begun."

Tong Muxue was taken aback upon hearing this, and pursed her lips. "Really?"

"Then I really have to thank Young Lady An Bingyan."

"I treated her terribly, yet she still treated me like this."

"It's all thanks to you."

"It seems that praying to the Gods to have you appear was truly the right thing to do."

Yimo: "Hmm."

Tong Muxue: "If I really get cured, and you and Young Lady An Bingyan get married, I will definitely attend."

Yimo: "Hmm."

Tong Muxue: "You're very beautiful, An Bingyan is beautiful too. Your child will definitely be very cute."

Yimo: "Hmm."

Tong Muxue: "The future... the future..."

As Tong Muxue spoke, she finally couldn't continue. Tears had been streaming down her face from the corners of her eyes.

With red eyes, she turned her head and stared intently at Yimo, shouting reproachfully, "Why... why didn't you try to keep me?!"

Finally, unable to suppress her emotions any longer, she completely erupted.

Tong Muxue's favorability rating: MAX.

Yimo: "Because it was your decision."

Tong Muxue: "Does what I say mean it all?!"

Yimo: "Yes, whatever you say."

Tears streamed down Tong Muxue's face. Ignoring the IV needle in her hand, she kept wiping her tears with the back of her hand, her voice growing weaker and weaker, tinged with pleading. "I regret it, I regret it."

"I don't want to break up with you..."

I don't want you to leave me...

As she spoke, she suddenly grabbed Yimo's hand, forced a smile, and tried to make her tone as cheerful as possible. "Mr. Sakata, actually I'm not sick at all. I conspired with An Bingyan to lie to you."

Let's run away!

Let's run away once again!

Yimo hugged Tong Muxue tightly, feeling her feverish body trembling slightly, and stroked her hair, saying, "Your illness can be cured."

"Go to America and get your illness cured!"

Upon hearing this, Tong Muxue's body went limp, and her voice trembled with sobs. "It can't be cured..."

"I know better than anyone else..."

Even with a bone marrow transplant, it only extends lifespan somewhat...

"But you have to face endless Torment, watching your hair fall out little by little, watching yourself become uglier and uglier, and finally dying alone and completely in a hospital bed!"

Yimo gently patted Tong Muxue's back. "Yes, you can. The world's most skilled team of experts will treat you."

"They have created many medical miracles."

Tong Muxue: "But... but!" She choked back tears.

"I don't want to leave you... I really don't want to leave you!!!"

"Do you remember?"

You mentioned it when we went to the movies together.

"If it were me, I would change that terrible, tragic ending."

"We must spare no expense and use every means to ensure that both of them survive."

"In the end, the two of them lived together in seclusion in that Wooden Hut by the sea that you mentioned."

"Make that leading lady give me a few big, healthy sons!"

You said it!

Yimo rubbed his face against Tong Muxue's and whispered in her ear, "I'm not the male lead, and you're not the female lead."

"All I want is for you to be able to continue living."

Even if it meant severing Seven Emotions and Six Desires, I still wanted you to continue living.

Actually, I'm a big liar too.

"I never truly loved you from the very beginning."

Tong Muxue: "Liar... liar... big liar!!!"

"Mmm... mmmmm..."

Tong Muxue was already sobbing uncontrollably, completely burying her face in Yimo's arms, only able to cry.

Yimo held Tong Muxue in his arms, letting her cry, stroking her hair, and comforting her.

Before leaving, he suddenly leaned close to her ear and said, "People are either busy living or busy dying."

"Actually, I've seen that movie."

Tong Muxue was stunned upon hearing this. Before she could react, she watched as Yimo left the ward.

Inside the hospital corridor.

Yimo and An Bingyan.

Yimo: "I agree to your request."

I will accompany you to see your father.

"However, I want to personally take Tong Muxue to the airport."

Upon hearing this, An Bingyan's eyes held a complex expression. "Yes, that's fine."

"..."

"I know you only like Tong Muxue..."

"I don't want to be so despicable as to force you to be with me."

"When you meet my father, you can just act..."

"I will do everything in my power to help Tong Muxue with her illness!"

Yimo placed her hand on An Bingyan's head. "I'm sorry, but actually I quite like you."

"However, I met Tong Muxue first."

Upon hearing this, An Bingyan hesitated for a moment, then slapped Yimo's hand away. "You big liar!!!"

Yimo: "Indeed..."

"There's an assassin named Leng Mo who wants to kill me."

"I plan to lure Tong Muxue out and kill her when I take her to the airport."

Hearing this, An Bingyan nodded. "Yes, I'm also very troubled. The Butler said he hasn't found any real information about that assassin."

After a pause, he added, "Like you, I have no real information. It's as if I appeared out of thin air in this world, with a Blank identity fabricated out of thin air..."

"..." An Bingyan did not say anything more.

"Don't worry, my father also believes that the existence of such a person is a threat to me."

"We've already mobilized people; it's all to bring him out."

I'll help you. Do you have any suggestions or plans?

Yimo and An Bingyan revealed their plan.

After listening, An Bingyan went to prepare, leaving Yimo alone in the empty corridor.

His gaze grew increasingly cold, and the Blood Moon in his Left Eye had appeared at some point, dazzling like never before, radiating a ghostly red Guangmang and filled with an eerie aura.

Nurse's duty room.

Yimo: "Um... I lost my phone, can I borrow yours?"

Seeing Yimo's haggard face, the Nurse felt a pang of sadness. Knowing he was the Boyfriend of the girl with the terminal illness, she didn't refuse and handed Yimo the phone, comforting him, "Young man, that's life; things rarely go as planned."

"There are some things that you just can't change no matter how hard you try."

Spend some time with your girlfriend, at least make her a little happier.

Yimo: "Yes, I will."

After making two phone calls in a secluded spot and deleting the call logs, Yimo buried her face in the shadows and said with a chilling self-deprecation, "Either you're busy living, or you're busy dying!"

"Hehe..."

"I will not let anyone control me again."

"Either, try to change this terrible outcome."

"Either we die here together!"
