Chapter 667: Lies exposed one by one ——2
Gu Li halted as she knitted her brows together even Ye Liu turned to look at him. With her eyes flickering, Gu Li asked, " Who are you talking about? I don't have anyone else other than you."
Xiao Hua however did not think so, he did not have any recollection of the time he spent with Gu Li but he has been bullying his head ever since he found out that she was obsessed with him because he spent time with her. He tried to remember everything but he only remembered one word and that was ' Tang Xuelo.'
This was the name that Gu Li often told him and many times when he was with her, she would get drunk and cry in his lap while saying this name again and again. His memory was not that good but he still remembered that one incident where Gu Li did not let go of him after she was drunk heavily —— she kept calling him Tang Xuelo and cried for him to come back to her.
He, of course, did not remember this incident, he was so disgusted by Gu Li who hugged him and refused to let go that he bullied his head to forget this incident but he did not forget the face of the woman who hugged him. Now that he saw Gu Li's face after so many years and found out that she came to the tavern to see him, as long as he bullied his mind to remember her, there was no way he would not be able to remember her.
When he remembered her, he of course remembered Tang Xuelo's name as well, it was just that he remembered everything too late, he was a bit himself. If he was a bit more sharper earlier and remembered this woman, then this would not have happened!
" Tang Xuelo. I know that you are looking at him through me, but I am not him. I don't know what happened to him but you cannot just pick anyone and make them your dead lover's substitute, it's not fair to me or anyone else for the matter."
Gu Li's expression iced over, she bared her teeth as she looked down at him and said, " Where did you hear that name? How did you find out about Tang Xuelo?"
" You were the one who told me, it was just that I had so many lovers who came to tell me their sad stories in the night when I worked in the tavern that I forgot yours but now I remember and I am telling you, that you are wrong. I am not Tang Xuelo and I will never be him, just because I look like him a little does not mean that we are the same person."
" Of course, you are not him." Gu Li nodded at him, at first Xiao Hua thought that she seemed to have understood what he was trying to tell her but instead, the woman pursed his lips and calmly said, " That's because you are still not awake completely."
" What?" Xiao Hua was sure that he seemed to have misheard her there was no way the woman was thinking he was Tang Xuelo's reincarnation or something right? No way, No way! No matter how crazy she was, there was no way she would be this crazy right?
But turns out that Gu Li was indeed that crazy, she was beyond the point of sanity and seemed to have completely lost her head after losing her lover. She looked at Xiao Hua who was on the floor with a sympathetic look in her eyes and then explained to him as if he was a child who could not understand that one plus one was two.
" You are of course not Tang Xuelo but that is because you are not completely awake," Gu Li repeated for him calmly causing Xiao Hua's mouth to drop open as she continued speaking, " You don't know Xiao Hua, the day you were born was the same day Tang Xuelo died, he was a very good mer who always helped everyone and even sacrificed saving someone's life, of course, God will reward him and his reward was to be born into your body again."
" But because of some problems, Tang Xuelo is not awake inside you … I am sure that as long as I fulfil my promises to him, he will be awake and come to me. You don't have to worry, being his shell is good too, once he wakes up I will ask him to let you come out as well, we don't want to abandon you after what you have done so much for us, if not for you…my Xuelo would be dead."
Xiao Hua at first thought that Gu Li was a bit unhinged but now he was certain. She was completely unhinged!
" I am not him!"
" Yes you are not him, you are his alternative soul," Gu Li seemed to have come up with a completely different theory to suit herself. She nodded and agreed before she continued speaking, " Xuelo was weak-hearted and gentle but you are the opposite that is because you are his alternative soul, as long as he wakes up inside you, you will see how you will become the gentle Tang Xuelo."
And that was when Xiao Hua realised, " All these years you were not killing those mers because you were dissatisfied with them, you were lying just now weren't you? You were trying to wake Tang Xuelo in them, you were not sure whether or not I was Tang Xuelo …which was why you looked for a mer who resembled Tang Xuelo and tried to wake your dead lover by marrying that mer but when you did not find your dead lover, you killed them…this is the truth right?"
Gu Li hesitated, she seemed to have realised that she spoke too much but she still waved her hands and said, " But you do not need to worry, I am sure you are my Xuelo. The one who was made just for me."
Xiao Hua: "…." Oh, he was indeed in danger! This woman was off her rocker all right!
