Xingtie: After my death, Liuying will understand love.

Chapter 698: Reality (Part )

Liuying has seldom fallen asleep lately. It’s not that she has insomnia, but whenever it’s late at night and everyone is asleep, her thoughts flood in like a tide. Only at this moment can she calm down and think about the answers to those questions.

The Starry Sky Train is always immersed in tranquility late at night, thanks to the super sound insulation equipment provided by the Robin. Even if you turn on the DJ in the room, it will not disturb anyone.

Firefly walked lightly in the train corridor, and her eyes accidentally swept across the half-open door of March Seven's bedroom. A faint light seeped out from the gap.

Under normal circumstances, fireflies will naturally choose to respect this private space and leave quietly. After all, everyone needs a corner where they can’t be peeped at, and everyone has their own privacy.

Liuying was just passing by and was about to leave, but at the moment she was about to turn around, she heard a faint sobbing sound coming from March 7's room. It was so clear...it was impossible to ignore.

The depression and sadness in that voice made her unable to move.

Liuying slowly stopped walking and stood in front of the door, knocking on it with her knuckles, making clear sounds.

"March, can I come in?"

There was a flustered rustling sound from inside the door. After a few seconds of silence, San Yue Qi responded softly, "Yeah."

Liuying pushed the door open gently, and what came into view was Sanyueqi sitting against the porthole. The girl had her head buried between her knees, and only raised her head hastily when she heard the door open.

San Yueqi's eyes were slightly red, and although he was trying his best to prevent others from seeing any problems, his slightly trembling shoulders still revealed what had just happened.

No questions, no words.

Liuying just walked quietly to Sanyueqi and sat down next to her. She stretched out her hand and gently held her in her arms, gently stroking the girl's hair.

"March."

"It doesn't matter if you don't tell me. I, we, will always be by your side."

Sometimes the problem is not important, but now, what is more important is obviously to give March 7 a warm embrace.

San Yue Qi buried her head in Liu Ying's chest, the intense pain gripping her heart. The choice she had to make was so cruel... and so ruthless.

She can't.

But she had to do it.

The first time she met fireflies was on the snowy plains of Yalilo. The firefly-like girl once said firmly in front of her and Xing, "An Ming is my lover."

That feeling is not false, nor can it be a so-called dream.

Even though the thread of fate is entangled in it, love or not is never decided by fate.

San Yue Qi understands this more clearly than anyone else, and it is this clarity that makes her feel such heart-wrenching pain. If she could be an emotionless villain, perhaps she would not be so confused.

What should she do? Who can she talk to?

If it were An Ming, he would be able to create an impossible miracle just like every time before.

But she is March Seven, and not long ago she was just an ordinary optimistic and cheerful girl.

Feeling the silent trembling of the girl in his arms, Liuying tightened his arms a little, and her rosy eyes seemed to sense something.

"March."

"I understand the weight of that responsibility. That heaviness is suffocating you, right?" Liuying's voice was soft, yet with that most familiar tenderness.

“Standing at the crossroads of choice, no matter which side you choose, you will tear apart the most precious things with your own hands.”

Liuying gently lifted Sanyueqi's cheek with both hands and looked into the pink-blue eyes that were once full of vitality but now seemed a little dull due to torture.

She didn't know what kind of choice March 7 was going through, but in the long past, as a "firefly", she had experienced countless choices.

“In March, there are two choices I least regret.”

"Falling in love with An Ming, and... meeting you guys."

Liuying's tone became gentle but firm, "So no matter what choice you make, you can tell me, because... we are family."

If it's family, there's nothing to hide.

Since she's family, show her everything.

"Sister Liuying..."

Sanyueqi whispered softly, looking at Liuying's gentle eyes that never changed, which contained both the firmness of a warrior and the gentleness of a sister.

She was really happy to meet Liuying. Everyone she met on the journey was very interesting even in the Shura Field.

Fu Xuan, who always seems strict but is actually arrogant, Robin, who takes good care of everyone's emotions, Fireworks, who is a fun-loving person but always appears at the critical moment, Huang Quan, who is honest and reliable, and the caring big sister Sakura, they are all very good people, and she has never regretted meeting them.

San Yue Qi's heart finally opened up to Liu Ying, and she whispered the true secret about the timeline and the world tree, which was also the final decision she had to make.

"March."

After listening to San Yueqi's confession, Liu Ying gently caressed her cheek and looked into her somewhat sad pink-blue eyes, "On the snowy plains of Yaliluo... when I said those words, my heart was so happy."

"That was not the arrangement of the script, nor was it the thread of fate. It was me - the firefly, feeling the emotion with this heart."

This feeling has burned so truly that existence itself is the most correct thing in the universe.

"You feel pain and confusion because your heart cherishes this true love more than anyone else... This is never weakness."

"A true villain cannot feel this kind of pain."

Liuying raised a smile at the corner of her lips, looked at Sanyueqi's cute appearance that didn't look like a villain at all and said: "This pain just proves your gentle and passionate love."

"But I..."

"You just want to save An Ming, right?"

Liuying moved a little distance away, held Sanyueqi's cheeks with both hands, and let the eyes filled with tears and confusion look into hers.

"Look at me, March. If the so-called correct timeline requires completely denying our present, at the cost of all our bonds and love... then is this 'correctness' really correct?"

"We will all be by your side, so... let us search together, find a way to light up the future without sacrificing the people we love and the present we cherish."

Maybe the road ahead is difficult and full of thorns.

Even if hope is as faint as a candle in the wind, as long as this true love is still burning——

Just like a firefly, it is just a little bit of light, but one day it will gather into a sea of stars that illuminates the end of the world.
