Chapter 319 If I Die
"Pfft."
Lu Youyou laughed: "Have you ever regarded me as a strong person? From beginning to end, it seems like you've always been the one looking down on me, haven't you?"
As she spoke, Lu Youyou changed her expression, mimicking the way Gu Jingchen had looked at her back then.
It's like an elder looking at a child who's being unreasonable, or like someone making a lot of self-perceived compensations in order to say what they're about to say.
"Lu Youyou, stop! He has said goodbye to the past. He is no longer your enemy Shen Taiyang, but my good assistant Bi Qixin!"
"Lu Youyou, I've already given you a chance to kill Shen Taiyang, are you still not satisfied?"
These two sentences echoed in her mind constantly.
She did everything she could to seek revenge, but in Gu Jingchen's eyes at the time, she was just an unreasonable person.
In Gu Jingchen's eyes, she was someone who could give up her hatred with just a few words from him.
Is she weak? Doesn't she have the right to say no?
Such a rhetorical question, like a dark hand from the bottom of ice, pulled her deeper and deeper.
Only when Gu Jingchen used the Void Card could she prevent him from locating their presence.
At that time, it seemed that they were finally afraid of her, understood her destructive power, and truly took her seriously.
But whenever she thought about how her growing strength only earned her the approval of her rivals in the shadows, she felt a sense of disgust and resentment, as if she had eaten shit.
She wants to kill, she wants revenge!
Her goal was not to gain the approval of her enemy, nor to elicit a word of sympathy from him when he was clearly in a slump.
It seems that everything she does is to stand on the same side as her enemy, who is now a defeated enemy without any support.
This is an insult to her!
Gu Jingchen was stunned. "Did I say that back then? I'm sorry, I forgot."
Lu Youyou suddenly started laughing again.
She laughed at how pathetic she looked.
A casual remark from someone else had such a huge impact on her, and those words even became a nightmare that made her doubt her own abilities.
When she recounted the scene to the culprit, Gu Jingchen casually replied, "Sorry, I forgot."
What on earth is she doing?!
Gu Jingchen's claim of mutual respect between them as strong individuals disgusted her.
Then she went to prove that Gu Jingchen hadn't taken her seriously before.
But why did she need to prove her weakness at the time?
Lu Youyou felt extremely agitated, feeling that nothing she thought about was right.
"boom!"
She smashed the dining table with her fist, sending the meat skewers crashing to the ground and getting covered in dust.
"Look at you, you have such a bad temper."
Gu Jingchen's expression remained unchanged, even carrying an appreciative smile.
He picked up the meat skewers from the ground. This usually clean man would throw away the handkerchief he used to wipe away sweat, but he didn't even blow off the dust before stuffing it directly into his mouth.
"This meat is rare, don't waste it."
Are you pretending to be pitiful?
"I'm not pretending to be pitiful, I'm genuinely pitiful. Lu Youyou, I have no reason to live anymore."
Lu Youyou sneered: "If you don't want to live, then go die. Are you saying these things to me hoping I'll save you?"
Gu Jingchen let out a long sigh.
“My divorced mother and Zhang Yao’s widowed father formed a new family. Although Zhang Yao and I are not related by blood, we are closer than brothers.”
“After my mother and stepfather died, I was devastated and did many shameful things. It was Zhang Yao who comforted me. As my younger brother, he took care of me like a second mother. I must be an ungrateful wretch, and I increasingly felt that his care was a matter of course.”
"Later, I became a famous star. Even kindergarten children could recognize my face. Zhang Yao became successful because of me. I thought I had made it big, so I tried various ways to regain the self-esteem I had lost in front of him."
"He hated me. Although he was by my side, he was always looking forward to my downfall. After arriving in the survival world, he lay low for a while, and later found Shen Taiyang. The two of them discussed how to make things bad for me."
“Lu Youyou, life is really meaningless. I have decided to control my dark thoughts and treat Zhang Yao well. I even want him to be the vice leader, but he has already gone so far as to want me dead.”
After hearing this, Lu Youyou rolled her eyes.
"When you say these things, I only feel sorry for Zhang Yao. As your half-brother, he was so young that he worked as a nanny to take care of you, but after you became famous, you mistreated him under the guise of doing what was best for him. And now you're even complaining about why he killed you?"
Gu Jingchen took another bite of lean mutton. It had been roasted for too long and the meat was very tough. He chewed it with difficulty, which caused his cheeks to bulge out and his temples to throb.
After swallowing his words with great difficulty, he spoke up: "But I gave him money, making him second only to the emperor. Can't he even bear this little bit of grievance?"
Lu Youyou laughed when she heard this.
"You think you're the emperor? Have you forgotten that you just said that you and Zhang Yao were sworn brothers when you were kids, closer than blood brothers?"
Gu Jingchen stared blankly, his eyes lifeless.
Yes, he and Zhang Yao were not ruler and subject, but sworn brothers who were even closer than blood brothers.
When did he change, and start treating Zhang Yao as a treacherous minister who should be obedient to him?
He treated Zhang Yao as a subject, so Zhang Yao treated himself as a ruler. Isn't it a kind of ambition for a subject to kill his ruler and try to take his place?
"Hahahahahaha!"
Gu Jingchen burst into laughter, tears streaming down his face.
He raised his left hand, while his right hand tapped something on his watch.
hum~
Lu Youyou's watch vibrated, and Xiao Lu announced it aloud.
Your friend Gu Jingchen has sent you a gift. Please check it promptly.
Gu Jingchen also heard Xiao Lu's voice.
He said, "Don't look yet, I have a gift for you."
He took off his windbreaker, folded it neatly, and placed it on the table in front of Lu Youyou, which was not yet completely cracked.
"Your Insect-Exterminating Elixir must have required quite a few good ingredients to make, right? You used it to collect rare resources before, so you probably don't have much left in your inventory, do you?"
"This is an insect-repellent jacket. I'm sorry I used up my only chance to change my clothes, but you can still wear it. Consider it my apology. You won't mind, will you?"
Lu Youyou replied with a straight face, "Yes."
Gu Jingchen smiled gently: "There's nothing I can do about that. If you have the guts, you might try putting it into the decomposition device and then using the decomposed fabric to make a new garment."
"If I die, will you toast me with a drink, just for the sake of this insect-repellent coat?"
