Chapter 255 Enemy
Throughout their long years together, Shi Ye always treated Tang Nian with all his heart, and his sincere and profound feelings were evident in his words.
Tang Nian is not a heartless person. Even if she were a cold and hard stone, she would eventually be warmed and melted if she were cared for with warmth for a long time. Besides, she is a living, breathing person with emotions and desires.
Unbeknownst to her, Tang Nian had already fallen deeply in love with Shi Ye.
That is why, when she finally learned Shi Ye's true identity, the shock and pain she felt were beyond imagination, like being pierced by a thousand arrows, causing her unbearable agony.
After all, the feeling of being deceived by a random person on the street is different from being deceived by someone you cherish deeply.
Tang Nian simply couldn't accept all of this. Tang Nian felt as if she had been severely shocked, and at this moment she didn't know how to face Shi Ye in front of her.
On one hand is Ah Yin, who is not only Tang Hao's wife but also Tang Nian's biological mother.
If Ah Yin hadn't suffered that misfortune and hadn't left this world, Tang Hao might not have suffered such a heavy blow.
The couple has always had a very good relationship. If they can grow up in such a loving family environment, Tang Nian and Tang San will surely grow up smoothly under their mother's meticulous care and their father's strong protection.
However, fate often likes to play tricks on people, and reality often goes against our wishes.
Now that Ah Yin has left them, Tang Nian and her brother Tang San can only rely on each other for survival. It can be said that they have made it this far almost entirely through their own tenacious will.
For Tang Hao, Ah Yin was his whole life, and his love for her was so deep and passionate.
When the moment of losing a loved one arrives, the pain is like being pierced by a thousand arrows, unbearable.
Although Tang Nian had never personally experienced the heart-wrenching pain of losing a lover, she could fully imagine how agonizing and unbearable it must be.
Therefore, Tang Nian was actually very understanding when she saw Tang Hao become so dejected.
After all, how can one easily let go of such a deeply unforgettable love once it is lost?
However, if Chihiro hadn't interfered, perhaps none of these tragedies would have happened.
Thinking of this, Tang Nian took a deep breath and slowly said, "Shi Ye, I understand that this matter has no direct connection to you. We were both young and ignorant back then, but in any case, my mother still left this world because of this incident. This is an unchangeable fact, so I really can't pretend that nothing happened..."
Shi Ye's hands, which were hanging at the hem of his clothes, clenched tightly involuntarily. He took a deep breath and said, "Little Tang Nian, it is true that our Spirit Hall was wrong in this matter. I know all too well how difficult it is for a human to transform from a beast into a human. But Nian Nian, please believe me, I really don't want this matter to cause any rift between us."
Tang Nian stared intently at Shi Ye with her bright, star-like eyes. After a moment of silence, she finally asked the question that had been buried deep in her heart, a question that had filled her with immense curiosity: "When exactly did you find out about this?"
Shi Ye opened his mouth slightly, as if he wanted to answer immediately, but hesitated for a moment before slowly saying, "I learned the truth after I first met you in the Star Dou Great Forest and returned to Wuhun City."
Tang Nian never expected that Shi Ye would find out so early. He knew the truth when they first met, but even so, he pretended not to know anything. If she hadn't asked today, Tang Nian didn't know how long Shi Ye would have kept it from her.
For a moment, Tang Nian felt a pang of sadness. She didn't like being lied to, especially by Shi Ye.
However, after Tang Nian fully understood Shi Ye's true identity, she suddenly realized that many things she couldn't understand or explain before seemed to have found their answers all at once.
For example, why did Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan and Ghost Douluo Gui Mei ruthlessly attack all the teachers and students of Shrek Academy, but spare her and show her mercy?
Thinking of this, Tang Nian's doubts grew stronger. Unable to suppress her impulse any longer, she pressed on, "Remember during the long journey of the Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament, we unfortunately encountered that terrifying ambush by Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo? However, what's puzzling is that they both showed mercy only to you. Could it be... that all of this was because of you?"
Upon hearing Tang Nian's question, Shi Ye's eyes flickered slightly before he slowly nodded and said softly, "That's right, I did instruct them to do it."
Tang Nian stared wide-eyed at Shi Ye in disbelief, her lips slightly parted as if she wanted to say something, but for a moment her throat felt blocked, and she couldn't utter a single word.
After a long while, she finally found her voice, though it sounded a little hoarse. "Thank you...."
Shi Ye's tense nerves relaxed a little, and she let out a long breath.
But at that moment, he suddenly realized that things were not so simple, and before he could fully exhale, he had to force himself to catch his breath again.
Sure enough, Tang Nian took a deep breath and said in an unusually calm and firm tone, "If you ever need my help in the future, you can tell me anytime. But as long as it doesn't cross my personal bottom line, I will tell you the truth or help you."
Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!
Shi Ye's heart sank. He understood the deeper meaning behind Tang Nian's words; she intended to completely sever ties with him.
This is undoubtedly the situation that Shi Ye least wanted to see and was most afraid to face. The reason he chose to hide these truths from Tang Nian all along was simply to avoid getting to this point.
Unfortunately, things don't always go as planned. Some lies are like shadows hidden in the darkness; no matter how hard you try to cover them up, they will eventually be exposed to the sunlight.
Shi Ye shook his head reluctantly, almost pleading, "Little Tang Nian, don't do this. Although I am Bibi Dong's son, I do not approve of everything the Spirit Hall is doing now, and I have been trying to stop it."
Shi Ye held up four fingers to the sky, "I swear to God, everything I'm saying now is true, and I'm not lying to you."
