Chapter 150: Why Are You Like This…
Who knew that after Cheng Ge had struggled to squeeze out two soft words, this Wen Ling was actually lying.
He cried even harder.
Cheng Ge’s heart felt heavy and painful. It was as if his entire heart was being gripped tightly by Wen Ling, leaving him breathless.
But he didn’t believe he had such a high capacity for empathy.
Cheng Ge: [Fuck it, why do I feel so awful? Do I have a heart condition?]
[001: …]
[001: The system has already told the Host that you love Wen Ling to death. How could you not feel awful when he cries?]
Cheng Ge: [Bullshit!]
Cheng Ge didn’t believe it. He must just have a problem with seeing people cry.
Mhm.
But right now, he was getting a headache from the anxiety.
“Didn’t you say you’d stop crying if I hugged you? Why are you still crying?”
Not only had he hugged him, but he had also comforted him. Why was this person still crying non-stop?
Wen Ling sniffled, his voice muffled in Cheng Ge’s embrace: “Because you didn’t kiss me. In the past, whenever I said that, you would kiss me.”
“Why won’t you kiss me anymore?”
“Why are you like this…”
Cheng Ge’s hand paused on Wen Ling’s back, and his eyelids drooped.
He must be very sad.
If he and Wen Ling really had been very close in the past.
If Wen Ling had waited for him for so long, only for him to forget even how to comfort him.
Then Wen Ling must be very sad.
But making him casually kiss this person who was practically a stranger to him now seemed completely unreasonable too.
This was too bizarre.
But Wen Ling was crying so heartbreakingly right now. Comforting him in the way he liked wouldn’t kill him.
Cheng Ge contradicted himself, stuck on a hurdle in his heart he couldn’t cross.
Wen Ling was also wrapped up in his own sorrow. He felt so wronged, so stifled.
How could Cheng Ge let himself get like this?
His brain was broken, and his body was going to break too.
“Then I’ll just give you one kiss,” Cheng Ge finally compromised with Wen Ling, speaking fiercely and looking a bit serious. “You are not allowed to cry anymore.”
Wen Ling pursed his lips, tilting his face up, his voice full of grievance: “…Mhm.”
Cheng Ge pursed his lips. Just as he was about to kiss him, he suddenly realized he didn’t know where he was supposed to kiss.
It seemed like he should kiss the corners of his eyes, yeah, the forehead too, but those flushed cheeks also seemed to demand a kiss.
Why did it feel… like he was acting like a pervert!?
Wen Ling’s teary eyes stared fixedly at Cheng Ge, tears swirling in his eye sockets again.
Cheng Ge was both anxious and incredibly embarrassed, not daring to look directly at him. “Where do you want me to kiss you?”
“Just the forehead, the tip of the nose, the cheeks…”
Wen Ling listed a whole bunch, and Cheng Ge grumpily interrupted: “You might as well tell me to kiss your whole face.”
“Exactly.” Wen Ling nodded, speaking as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
“I said I’m only giving you one kiss.” Cheng Ge took a breath, emphasizing his point.
“Then, then you can just kiss everywhere in one breath, can’t you? You used to do it like this… why are you like this…”
Seeing Wen Ling getting aggrieved again, ready to unleash a torrent of tears in the next second, Cheng Ge didn’t care about anything anymore. He lowered his head and peppered random kisses all over Wen Ling’s face.
After he finished kissing, looking at Wen Ling’s dazed face, Cheng Ge felt a bit mortified. He made it look like it was a huge chore: “There, is that enough? So much trouble, honestly.”
Cheng Ge thought his fierce act was quite convincing, completely unaware that his red ears had already betrayed him.
“…Okay then.” Having been kissed, Wen Ling felt less wronged. He automatically adjusted his posture, curling up in Cheng Ge’s embrace with his face pressed against Cheng Ge’s chest, listening to his heartbeat.
Cheng Ge’s expression was incredibly weird. He craned his neck high, not wanting to be this close to Wen Ling.
But his body showed absolutely no resistance to Wen Ling’s dependence, executing the comforting routine flawlessly.
“Cheng Ge, what exactly happened to you?” Wen Ling murmured sadly.
“How did you get so silly…”
Forgetting everything, even forgetting him.
Cheng Ge: “…”
“That’s called amnesia. You’re the one who’s silly.”
“Then how did you get amnesia?”
Wen Ling looked pitifully at Cheng Ge, looking incredibly heartbroken.
“Ah…” Cheng Ge watched, feeling flustered. “I just accidentally bumped my head.”
Cheng Ge reflected. Actually, if he had amnesia, Wen Ling was a victim too. He really owed Wen Ling an apology.
But before the words “I’m sorry” could leave his mouth, Wen Ling lunged at him, pinning him down.
Wen Ling bit Cheng Ge’s shoulder, not holding back his strength, leaving a very obvious bite mark.
Cheng Ge was startled by the unprovoked sense of familiarity. He didn’t react fast enough to push him away, simply letting Wen Ling bite him.
By the time Cheng Ge couldn’t bear the pain anymore, Wen Ling had finished biting.
After biting him, Wen Ling felt heartbroken again, kissing the spot to make up for it.
But the current Cheng Ge couldn’t handle this. He just felt an itchy, numbing, painful yet thrilling sensation. It was unbearable, making him want to push but not daring to push.
Wen Ling continued kissing and wanted to cry again, wanting to beat Cheng Ge up, but couldn’t bear to, so he could only say the words he often used when they used to argue.
“I really hate you to death.”
“I hate you!”
After saying that, he left, ignoring the completely bewildered Cheng Ge on the bed.
Following this long string of actions, Cheng Ge couldn’t help but wonder if Wen Ling had split personalities.
He could be pitiful, then fierce. One moment gloomy and terrifying, the next moment obedient and endearing.
Too unpredictable.
But Cheng Ge couldn’t spare the energy to care about what was wrong with Wen Ling; he had huge problems of his own.
Having his hands tied was one thing, but he found his feet were tied too.
Cheng Ge tried to break free, but whether he used brute force to pull or cleverness to untangle them, it was useless.
The ribbons looked soft, but scissors probably couldn’t even cut them.
And this room, at first glance, seemed perfectly fine.
But upon closer inspection, the windows and the door all required passcodes. They were sturdier than steel—probably bulletproof.
Cheng Ge didn’t want to be trapped and tied up. What kind of situation was this?
Cheng Ge: [001, 001, is there any way you can help me escape?]
[001: No.]
[Then can I really not return to my world?]
[001: No, the Host already made the choice in the past to stay here.]
Even now, Cheng Ge refused to believe the system’s words: [How is that possible? Why wouldn’t I return home when I have one?]
[001: It indeed goes against common sense, but it is the truth.]
[Where the wife is, that is home. Those are the Host’s exact words.]
Cheng Ge was speechless: [You secretly changed “Wen Ling” to “wife,” didn’t you?]
[001: Uh-huh.]
Cheng Ge: […]
Shitty attitude.
[001: Don’t be sad, Host. You truly do love your wife to death.]
Cheng Ge: [How would you know?]
[001: Does the Host know how he got amnesia?]
Cheng Ge: [Bumped my head while doing missions, obviously.]
001 had told him this many times.
[001: Then does the Host also know why he had to do those dangerous missions?]
[If there was no love, what would all those injuries mean? If there was no love, would the Host be willing to gamble his own life?]
Cheng Ge was silent for two seconds: [I suddenly realized you have quite the literary flair.]
[001: …]
[Hehe, thanks for the praise.]
It wasn’t that Cheng Ge couldn’t wrap his head around all this.
It was just that he consistently refused to believe he could develop such deep feelings for someone else.
The person who would love someone else like that couldn’t possibly be him, right?
—
[When Wen Ling wants to be affectionate] [Cheng Ge (Sternly refusing): No! Absolutely not!] [Wen Ling (Feeling wronged to death): Why are you like this…] [Cheng Ge (Anxious) (Heartbroken) (Hugging, hugging, hugging, kissing, kissing) (Putting on a fierce, reluctant front): There, is that enough? So much trouble!]
[(Their interactions during this short period will roughly be like this. In short, it’s the process of Little Cheng softening his heart again and falling in love with Little Wen all over again. Furthermore, Little Cheng knows they have a past together and will want to take responsibility. Little Wen’s captivity won’t go too far either, so he won’t be as extreme as at the very beginning of the book.)]
