Chapter 1493: Chapter 440: Fans 2
"I... I’m sorry..."
"What’s the use of just saying sorry? If you knew you’d be sorry, it might have been better..."
Zuo Jiangqin’s words were interrupted as a talent scout from Yasaka Company approached from a distance.
Seeing the scene of a parent scolding a child, he gave an awkward smile, waved his hand, and asked,
"Hello, ma’am, may I have a moment of your time?"
"Huh?"
Zuo Jiangqin turned her head, and upon seeing the person dressed sharp in a suit, her expression immediately changed as she forced a smile,
"You... and who might you be?"
"Ah, I’m Takeda Akino, a professional talent agent from Yasaka Entertainment Company. Here’s my business card..."
"I see... Takeda Akino..."
"It’s like this, I think your child is very suitable for being cultivated as a child star, um... she has an excellent appearance. I wonder if you have any interest in this..."
Upon hearing the words "appearance," Bai Yi, who was still somewhat delighted, immediately pursed her lips and looked down.
"Yes, yes!"
But before she could finish speaking, Zuo Jiangqin quickly nodded, her excitement barely concealed.
"Hmm... so maybe let the child wait outside? We can go to the office and talk?"
"Alright... alright!"
Agreeing thus, Zuo Jiangqin didn’t forget to release Bai Yi’s hand, giving her a glare and saying,
"You wait here! I’ll deal with you when I get back..."
"..."
The small Bai Yi stood there with her head bowed, at a loss, her starry eyes filled with tears.
"Boo... hoo hoo..."
The next second, she helplessly squatted on the ground, hugging her knees and sobbing pitiably.
[Don’t hold me tight]
[Don’t comfort me]
[Just give up on me]
[Let me keep falling]
[What color is love?]
[Blurred, forgotten...]
"Drip... drop..."
"Tap... tap... tap..."
Inside the hospital, time was completely frozen.
Under the gaze of countless toads, a girl holding a knife limped across the vanishing reality.
Her eyes filled with tears, she walked out of the ward.
Supporting herself against the white wall, her eyes red, she looked ahead at the man and woman standing in the middle of the road.
The man’s hands were covered in blood, yet he gritted his teeth, holding the frail woman around the waist.
The woman was slightly curled up, protecting the swaddled baby tightly in her arms, forming a shield with the man’s lowered head, preventing her from being harmed.
"Waaah! Waaah!"
At this moment, although everything was frozen, the baby in their arms continued to cry loudly, unaffected by the stopped time.
"Boo..."
Before her, Bai Yi stood dumbfounded with the knife, staring at the shielded, unapproachable baby, biting her lip hard.
"Waaah! Boo... waaah!"
She tried several times to raise the knife, to find a suitable position to stab, but none were proper.
Yet the more she did this, the more twisted her heart became.
Watching the baby seemingly born with the love of the whole world, with doting parents showering it with affection...
Then looking at herself right now, standing there holding a knife, all alone, left with only desolation...
Why is it like this?
"Boo... hoo hoo hoo... hoo hoo..."
After several unsuccessful attempts, in the endless silence, Bai Yi couldn’t hold it any longer, her body went limp as she knelt down, crying.
"Why... why..."
As she questioned why, the desires within... or perhaps the remorse surged even more.
"Buzz!!"
But just as her remorse reached an immeasurable peak, a terrifying causal law bomb suddenly emerged on the baby.
From this point on...
Future, present, and past...
Were already linked into a circle.
"Boo... why... do I have... nothing..."
However, in the next second, as Bai Yi wiped her tears, intending to grasp the knife and rise once again...
Suddenly from behind came the sound of a cat meowing,
[It’s not like this, meow...]
"!!"
Upon hearing that meow, Bai Yi’s eyes immediately shrank.
Her body trembled, even unable to hold onto the knife, a hint of surprise unconsciously surfaced on her despairing face,
"Yan Ye..."
Turning her head back vaguely, she saw the appearance of an extremely cute, yet often exuded an exasperatingly arrogant golden-eyed white cat emerging in the dusk.
He would look at her with a face full of helplessness, wondering why she was doing something stupid again.
But after that, there was some kind of doting in his eyes.
"Meow～"
Yet at this moment, after the momentary trance passed, what she saw...
Was a black cat with emerald eyes.
It tilted its head, sitting elegantly not far away, looking at her.
"Huh?"
Staring at that black cat, Bai Yi was slightly stunned.
Yet she didn’t know why, although its shape was only a different color, but the feeling it gave Bai Yi...
Was worlds apart.
It... wasn’t Yan Ye.
Then... who was it?
[Snap!]
At this moment, with the sound of a snap, the little Bai Yi, who was hugging her knees and crying, was immediately startled.
She sniffed and quickly raised her head.
Only to see, beside her, at some unknown point, sat a boy wrapped tightly, his face obscured.
He looked at her, displaying beautiful and warm curved eyes, then softly said,
"Hello, Bai Yi～"
"..."
[Drip... drop...]
[Drip... drop...]
The golden pendulum swayed slightly, as if connecting the future and the past at the same time.
Therefore, allowing the small Bai Yi, allowing the grown-up Bai Yi, to speak at the same time,
"Who... are you?"
"..."
Upon hearing this...
The black cat before her wagged its tail, responding in a childlike voice indistinguishable between male and female, just like Yan Ye,
