Chapter 49: Ouyang Qing is a little tired
Leaning against the wall beside her, Ouyang Qing closed her eyes.
At some point, the game was no longer a game. If you can’t get happiness from it, what kind of game is it?
At least Ouyang Qing couldn’t get any positive feedback now.
For Lu Zhiyin, for the three female leads successfully won over by Lu Zhiyin, and for Ouyang Qing herself, this had become meaningless torture.
Ouyang Qing felt a little tired.
She was tired of playing this game, and the meaningless game should end.
All in all, this so-called game was just initiated by her temporary malicious amusement.
Closing her eyes, Ouyang Qing opened her mouth. The dignity and pride of a deity made it impossible for her to casually say that the game was over.
This game should indeed end, but shouldn’t it have a reasonable outcome? Otherwise, wouldn’t she, a deity, seem too laughable?
Although it’s quite laughable now.
“When you make Zhu like you, this game will be over, and I will let you go home then.”
As Ouyang Qing said this, she felt relieved, and a stone in her heart fell to the ground.
“…?”
Turning her head stiffly, Lu Zhiyin looked into Ouyang Qing’s eyes.
“You want to trick me again?”
Lu Zhiyin grinned.
“Whether I can go back or not, it’s nothing more than your word, right? You say you can let me go back now, and then you go back on your word after a while, what can I do to you? I can only be a clown in your eyes for your amusement.”
Lu Zhiyin could not believe Ouyang Qing’s words.
Ouyang Qing had no intention of refuting anything.
Facts would speak for themselves. In her opinion, it was only a matter of time before Zhu Qing and Lu Zhiyin developed feelings beyond friendship, given how close they were.
What bothered Ouyang Qing more than Lu Zhiyin’s distrust was her terrible tone.
“So, you’re angry? If you’re so angry, why don’t you dare to take your hand away?”
Ouyang Qing raised her hand. Her left hand was currently holding Lu Zhiyin’s right hand, and Lu Zhiyin’s right hand was obediently letting Ouyang Qing hold it.
“…?”
Lu Zhiyin was stunned.
“In the end, you’re just a coward.”
Ouyang Qing was no longer going to indulge anyone. She was a deity, and she didn’t need to reason.
“You once thought of attacking me with a knife if you couldn’t go home, right? Then tell me, what have you done now? You’re pretending to be a puppet. A puppet that passively accepts everything.”
As she spoke, Ouyang Qing squinted her eyes. She particularly disliked the way Lu Zhiyin looked now.
“How many times have you cursed Leng Qing Qiu and Long Qinxin in your heart? How many times have you retaliated against them in reality? What did you do when you felt desperate? Didn’t you think everything was meaningless? Then why did you actively seek to be abused? If you wanted to protest to me through this behavior, then I can only laugh at your stupidity and cowardice.”
Her concern and rare care for Lu Zhiyin were worn away by the terrible attitude.
After saying a long string of words in one breath, Ouyang Qing rubbed her forehead.
She stopped holding Lu Zhiyin’s hand.
“…I…”
Lu Zhiyin was speechless and couldn’t come up with any rebuttal.
When faced with despair, what she thought of was indeed self-destruction rather than resistance. In fact, she didn’t even dare to take the step of self-destruction herself, but relied on others.
“…”
Lu Zhiyin fell silent and shook her head helplessly.
“I have no reason to lie to you anymore, because I’m tired of you, you’re not a qualified toy.”
Ouyang Qing’s tone turned cold.
She sat upright in her seat, no longer appearing lazy and easy-going, but exuding an aura that kept people at a distance.
Lu Zhiyin felt like something was stuck in her throat and wanted to say something, but she couldn’t say anything.
“…”
Lu Zhiyin touched her chest and thought, maybe she was really a coward. No, there was no maybe, she was a complete coward.
She was like that in her previous life, and she was still like that now.
In her previous life, she dared not socialize or communicate with her parents. After reincarnation, she dared not resist unfair treatment, dared not show her fangs to those who hurt her, and even dared not act according to the plan she had already devised when facing the deity’s lies.
Lu Zhiyin felt a little distressed, not because the deity belittled her, but because what the deity said was precisely the truth.
What kind of person did Lu Zhiyin want to be?
She wanted to be kind, generous, and brave to make friends.
What kind of person was Lu Zhiyin?
She was cowardly, conceited, and liked to deceive herself and others with lies.
Perhaps, what she thought she was, was not who she truly was.
Lu Zhiyin could no longer see herself clearly.
“This… forget it.”
Standing up, Ouyang Qing picked up the turtle doll hanging at her waist. For a moment, the thought of returning the turtle doll to Lu Zhiyin flashed through her mind.
However, this thought vanished in an instant.
The turtle doll was still the same, hanging by her side, swaying slightly with her movements.
“In short, I can’t be bothered to lie to you anymore. Take care of yourself. For the remaining time, you can go wherever you want.”
Ouyang Qing left the classroom.
She was a deity, and she didn’t need to care about others’ feelings.
Turning back, Ouyang Qing glanced at Lu Zhiyin, who was sitting blankly in her seat, and finally left without looking back.
…
In the classroom, Lu Zhiyin sat there in a daze, Ouyang Qing’s words still echoing in her mind.
Clearly… clearly, what she experienced was all caused by Ouyang Qing, so why… why couldn’t she refute what Ouyang Qing said to her?
Her vision was blurred by tears. A few warm tears fell on the back of her hand. Lu Zhiyin raised her head randomly and looked at the podium not far away.
As soon as Ouyang Qing left, the class teacher arrived.
Lu Zhiyin was in a daze. She couldn’t clearly hear what the class teacher said, but she remembered it was about the rumors of her being kept.
Perhaps because of Zhu Qing, the class teacher’s tone was particularly serious when talking about this matter, mentioning that the school would severely punish the mastermind who ruined the student’s reputation.
Lu Zhiyin didn’t know anything more.
She sat in her seat in a daze for a long time until the bell rang. Long Qinxin took the opportunity to approach Lu Zhiyin when Ouyang Qing was not there.
“Tsk, it looks like you’ve been doing well with Leng Qing Qiu? You can still stand and come to class.”
Her opening remark was sharp and sarcastic, completely different from the shy girl in Lu Zhiyin’s memory.
People change… Lu Zhiyin thought.
“Get lost.”
She no longer concealed her disgust, nor did she pretend to be a soulless puppet.
She no longer needed to rely on others’ hands for self-destruction.
“You make me sick.”
Frowning, Lu Zhiyin pushed Long Qinxin away, and she left the classroom, walking aimlessly in the teaching building.
Finally, she arrived at the rooftop of the teaching building.
There, she saw Ouyang Qing.
Sitting on the railing of the rooftop, swinging her legs casually, Lu Zhiyin could only see Ouyang Qing’s slender back.
“Let’s go on a trip together.”
She said.
“I seem to have said before that I wanted to take you to find fun things. Currently, I only seem to have taken you to the claw machines on the roadside and cheap internet cafes.”
With her hands in her pockets, Lu Zhiyin shrugged her nose.
Leaving the city that had troubled her for months, leaving the hateful Leng Qing Qiu and Long Qinxin.
Perhaps the cowardly her still couldn’t raise the sword of resistance, but at least she could choose to escape.
