Chapter 236: How Feiying wants to assassinate the "fake" Taoyao
"Taoyao! Taoyao! Look at this! Look at this!"
Feiying ran into the bedroom, holding the latest data report tightly in her hand.
Her voice was full of excitement and she seemed extremely excited, like a child who couldn't wait to show off her achievements.
Tao Yao, who was in a wheelchair, looked up and smiled at this energetic lover.
Although her body was still unable to move, her eyes were still bright and the smile on her face was still gentle.
“You’ll never guess how many downloads Goblin Quest had on its first day!”
Feiying took two steps at a time and squatted in front of Taoyao, holding the tablet in front of her.
"Ten million! A full ten million downloads on the first day!"
She was so excited that her speech was somewhat incoherent:
"Moreover, the player ratings are particularly high, and the ratings on the game rankings on major platforms are all above 9.9 points."
"The forums are full of positive reviews, saying that our plot is so well written and the characters are so well portrayed!"
She stood up and paced back and forth in the room, her face full of excitement:
"And our revenue data has come out. The first day's turnover exceeded 500 million! This is much higher than we expected!"
She returned to Taoyao again, held her hand excitedly, her voice trembling.
"Taoyao, we really did it! We created a work that can truly touch people's hearts!"
She danced with excitement, her eyes sparkling.
"Ah! That's right!"
She suddenly remembered something and quickly took out her phone:
"Endgame is already panicking! The ratings of their game Endgame are dropping all the way, and players are saying that their game has beautiful graphics but lacks soul."
"They are urgently adjusting their marketing strategies now!"
Tao Yao always maintained a gentle smile and nodded gently:
"Just as I thought, our Feiying is really great."
"You put your heart and soul into the game, and the players can certainly feel it."
"This game contains your soul, your dreams, and your deepest desires."
"Every plot branch and every conversation is filled with your sincerity."
"How could such a game not move people?"
Looking at Taoyao's gentle smile, Feiying's originally excited expression suddenly froze.
Her cheerful smile slowly faded and her eyes became a little dazed.
The game did work and she accomplished what she wanted to accomplish.
According to the previous agreement with Baiying, now is the time to leave this spiritual realm.
but……
The only condition for leaving is to deal with Tao Yao personally.
She wanted to personally put an end to this person who had given her infinite warmth and accompanied her through countless happy times.
Even though I know this is just a dream, even though I know the Taoyao in front of me is just an illusory shadow, but...
She couldn't hurt Taoyao with her own hands.
The pain was so severe that she couldn't breathe just thinking about it.
This task was too cruel for her.
Let her kill the person she cares about most in her dream?
This was even more painful than killing herself.
Even though she knew it was all fake, she still couldn't accept the feeling of betrayal.
Looking at Feiying who suddenly fell silent, Taoyao tilted her head slightly, with a hint of confusion in her eyes:
"What's wrong, Feiying?"
Tao Yao sat in a wheelchair, looking at her tenderly.
"You were so happy just now, why are you suddenly silent?"
"Did you encounter any problems? The game is performing so well, you should be happy."
Her voice was still so gentle: "Are you too tired? You have been really hard during this period. You have to take care of me and manage the company. Do you want to take a rest first? I can see that you don't look well."
That familiar tone of concern was like a knife, stabbing deeply into Feiying's heart.
Every word broke her heart.
How could she bring herself to harm Taoyao, who was so gentle and caring about her?
She shook her head violently and forced herself to smile:
"It's okay. I just suddenly thought of...our wedding."
Her voice was a little choked, but she tried to hide it:
"You know what? Every time I see the stories I came up with in the game, I think that our real stories should be better than those written in the game."
She tried to make her voice sound lighter:
"It seems like the wedding day is getting closer and closer."
"So Taoyao, should we get ready?"
Hearing what Feiying said.
Tao Yao's eyes suddenly lit up, and an expression of longing appeared on her face:
"Yeah! The wedding is indeed coming soon."
"When I feel a little better, we'll go pick out a wedding dress."
"I have made reservations with several well-known bridal shops, all of which are the best in the industry."
Her tone was full of anticipation: "I have asked them to prepare every wedding dress, from the most traditional to the most trendy."
"I believe I can find the one that suits you best."
"After all, our Feiying is the most beautiful no matter what she wears."
Taoyao's smile became more gentle:
"Speaking of which, are you nervous, Feiying? After all, it's the most important day in your life."
"I remember you said before that you hated wearing skirts. Now you're going to wear a wedding dress. Can you adapt to it?"
"Or do we need to rehearse a few times in advance?"
"I'm not nervous!"
Feiying smiled as if she was relaxed, but tears were already welling up in the corners of her eyes.
She forced herself to maintain a cheerful tone, but her voice trembled slightly:
"I will definitely be the most beautiful bride."
"Taoyao, just wait and see. I will be so beautiful that you won't be able to take your eyes off me."
But that's what I said.
But Feiying has never been someone who can keep things to herself.
It was easy to tell from the tone of her voice that she was obviously hiding something.
Taoyao was also very understanding and a faint smile appeared on her face.
"Feiying, I can actually see that you might need more time to prepare."
“Marriage is a new chapter in life and a new beginning.”
Tao Yao said gently, her eyes full of affection, "Before this important day comes, why don't you go out and relax."
"Get together with your friends and have some fun."
"You've been taking care of me all this time and you haven't had time to enjoy life."
She continued: "And you see, the game has been successful."
"Now is the time to relax a little."
“You can do what you want to do and see what you want to see.”
"Only on the wedding day can you appear in front of me in your most perfect state."
"Similarly, I will stand in front of you with the most perfect posture."
Hearing what Taoyao said.
Feiying's heart ached violently.
She wanted to say that she didn't want to go anywhere and just wanted to stay with Taoyao forever.
But for some reason, her body seemed out of control and she slowly stood up.
She clenched her hands into fists, and the pain from her nails digging deep into her palms could not wake her up:
"Then...then I'll go out for a walk."
Her voice was trembling as she spoke quietly.
After saying this, she almost rushed out of the room as if she was running away.
She didn't dare look back, because she knew that if she looked at Tao Yao one more moment, she would really collapse.
She was afraid that she would not be able to control her emotions and would tell Tao Yao all the truth.
The moment I walked out of the house, tears finally burst out like a dam breaking.
She leaned against the wall, her legs weak and she could hardly stand.
She knew that she might never come back.
In other words, when she comes back, she must face the choices she will make later.
……
Feiying walked out of the community gate, and all the strength in her body seemed to be drained away.
She sat down on a bench by the street, her hands hanging limply at her sides.
She took out her cell phone and swiped her trembling fingers across the screen, finally stopping at the number "Bai Ying".
Every time she saw the name, she would think of the discussions about what she should choose.
She took a deep breath and dialed the number.
Every beep was like a heavy hammer, hitting her fragile nerves, until that familiar voice came from the other side.
"Hey, Baiying...where are you?"
Her voice was choked and she could barely utter a complete sentence.
Bai Ying's lazy voice came from the other end of the phone:
"I'm resting. What's wrong, Feiying? Did something happen? Your voice doesn't sound right."
"I...I was just announcing the good news to Taoyao..."
Feiying's voice was intermittent, as if something was blocking her throat.
"The game was a success, more successful than expected... Everyone praised it... But..."
She suddenly stopped talking here.
Tears fell uncontrollably, dripping onto the phone she was holding tightly:
"But when I think about it...when I think about giving Taoyao to...I will...I will..."
She sobbed, her voice trembling so much that it was almost inaudible:
"I just don't know how to face her... Logically, I should spend more time with her, while I can still be with her... while there is still a chance..."
"But I...I ran away by myself now...I...I really don't know what to do..."
Her voice was filled with deep remorse:
"I should be stronger, but I can't... I can't control myself..."
"When I saw her smiling at me and thought about how I was going to kill her later, I just..."
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a long time, and only the sound of slight breathing could be heard.
Finally, Baiying's voice became particularly serious:
"Wait a minute, just stay there, I'll be right there. Tell me exactly where you are."
After getting the location, the call was quickly hung up.
Feiying slumped on the bench, as if she had lost all her strength.
The wind blew past, bringing a slight chill, but she was unaware of it.
She didn't know how long she waited until a black car stopped silently in front of her.
The car window rolled down, revealing Baiying's cold face.
Without saying a word, she got out of the car and pulled Feiying in.
Along the way, the carriage was eerily quiet.
Baiying was driving intently while Feiying rested her head against the car window, letting her tears flow silently.
It was not until she arrived at Baiying's residence that Feiying vaguely realized that she had moved to a new place.
