The Female Cannon Fodder With Boundless Merits-Chapter 1253 - 1257: The Promise (5)

Su Li said nothing, just quietly watched the other person.

Zhang Yang distressingly clutched his hair, in agony, "I can’t change the thoughts of my parents and relatives, the only thing I can control is this imperfect shell of mine."

"My mother gave birth to me, only by returning the flesh and blood she gave me can I have a clear conscience... As for the rest, I will give my most precious soul to you."

"Su Li, would you be willing to join me?" Zhang Yang looked at Su Li with eyes full of affection and deep hope.

The air seemed to be filled with a sad yet sweet scent.

The atmosphere was perfectly set, lovers under the moonlight...

However, Su Li said rather unromantically, "I don’t want to...."

Zhang Yang: "Ah... you...."

His incredulous expression was quite amusing, Su Li smirked and replied, "I was just messing with you earlier."

Zhang Yang breathed a sigh of relief, joyfully moved, "I knew it, my heart is like yours... We are natural soulmates."

"If I hadn’t met you, I never could have imagined myself being so crazy for love."

Su Li stopped Zhang Yang’s impending impromptu love speech and asked, "Is your love eternal and unique?"

Zhang Yang immediately got a little angry, loudly asking, "Are you doubting my love for you?"

"I think only life and death can prove my never-fading love for you."

"I’ll leave them to comment on this matter... my love..."

Su Li rubbed the goosebumps rising on her arm, bit her aching molars, so cheesy～

"Enough, let’s just die."

If they kept talking, Su Li felt she couldn’t control the urge to throw this cheesy man into Jing Lake for a wash.

Zhang Yang: "....." This, that’s too straightforward.

The emotion wasn’t quite right, leaving Zhang Yang’s heart stuck in limbo, imperfect....

None of this matched the perfect scenario he imagined.

Seeing Zhang Yang with a somber expression, eyes downcast, unsure of what he was thinking, Su Li kindly reminded him again: "Didn’t we agree to die together? Are you backing out?"

"If so.... then I’ll just head back first." Su Li said eagerly, letting out a yawn.

Such a serious topic as a suicide pact seemed as simple as whether or not to eat in her eyes.

Zhang Yang found it hard to describe his feelings now, after hesitating for a while, he finally said hesitantly, "Su Li, I feel like you’re a bit different now."

Su Li touched her cheek, delightfully, "Become more beautiful, right?"

"Yes." Looking at Su Li who was almost enchantingly beautiful, Zhang Yang reflexively replied with words he hadn’t intended to say.

"Still want to die?"

"Let’s, let’s go...."

Su Li frowned, which made Zhang Yang feel as if he’d made a mistake.

Actually, he was already feeling a bit hesitant and retreating inwardly, but in the clear brightness of Su Li’s gaze, he couldn’t say anything else.

Zhang Yang wanted to take Su Li’s hand, just like the initial embrace, but it fell short.

He couldn’t help but stop his steps towards the lake and turned to Su Li, saying, "Let’s run away...."

Tonight’s different Su Li had him even more heartstruck, suddenly.... suddenly he didn’t want to die anymore.

Su Li chilled her expression, resolutely said, "No way, we agreed to die together, how can you go back on your word."

Refusing, firmly refusing.

Zhang Yang: "....."

Su Li coldly stared in the direction of the lake, eerily and slowly said, "Did you forget, if we can’t live together, we’ll die together, that’s our promise...."

The chilling wind blew over, listening to Su Li’s ghost-like words beside him, Zhang Yang couldn’t help but shiver, feeling uneasy and instinctively distanced his body a few steps from hers.

Sometimes, certain thoughts are just impulsive, if you don’t act at the moment, they decline and fade away....

Arriving to now, Zhang Yang’s retreating heart arose again and again, he no longer had those initial bleak thoughts.

He considered for a moment, then no longer took any steps forward, "Su Li, let’s go back and beg our parents, as long as we are sincere, they’ll be moved and support us."

"My mom loves me most, your family loves you the most.... How about, how about we go on a hunger strike, they won’t bear watching us hurt ourselves...."

The more Zhang Yang spoke, the more feasible it sounded, mood was particularly high.

"No, your mother hates me so much she’d wish I’d die, how could she ever agree.... Her tolerance and acceptances are only for you."

Su Li was indifferent while talking about Mrs. Zhang, causing Zhang Yang to subconsciously feel displeased.

He firmly refuted, "No way, my mother loves me, she’ll also love what I love, she will eventually accept us, parents can’t resist their children."

Su Li sternly looked at Zhang Yang, exhaled lightly, "Men...."

"Let’s go."

Feeling the force on his arm, Zhang Yang uncomfortably flicked it, but to no avail.

Su Li’s palm was extraordinarily strong, it grasped his arm like an iron grip, unable to shake off.

Zhang Yang cried out in panic, "Su Li, let go, what are you doing?"

Su Li: "Did you forget our promise?"

"No...."

"Don’t you love me very very much? If so, I’ll go first, you follow, I’ll wait for you."

Su Li smiled, and before Zhang Yang could react, she leapt into Jing Lake.

The sound of splashing water snapped Zhang Yang out of his daze, and he shouted in panic, "Su Li, Su Li.... come up, hurry come up...."

He too eagerly jumped towards Jing Lake, but....

At that moment, someone tugged tightly at his clothes from behind.

"Zhang Yang, calm down, you can’t swim."

Chen Rong suddenly jumped out from the shadows, yanking on Zhang Yang’s clothes forcefully, pulling him back.

Zhang Yang was no match for Chen Rong’s strength, dragging her whole body forward.

In urgency, Chen Rong spread her arms and held onto Zhang Yang’s waist tightly, clinging onto him like a koala.

Seeing Zhang Yang go crazy, Chen Rong didn’t know what she was thinking, she bit Zhang Yang’s shoulder hard.

The pain slowed his steps somewhat.

Chen Rong hurriedly took the opportunity to say, "Calm down, you can’t swim, I can, I’ll go save Su Li."

"Then hurry up." Zhang Yang yelled back at Chen Rong behind him.

During the short moment of their struggle, Su Li’s figure had disappeared into the water, even the splashes gradually calmed.

Chen Rong felt both sour and bitter in her heart, she gave Zhang Yang a deep look, then followed him and jumped into the water.
