It wasn't until the deal fell through that I discovered all the young ladies were yanderes.

The next chapter will be finished soon, I'll start writing it right away, you can wait.

12 I Love You (Final Chapter)

Standing next to An Ruxue was Li Susu. An Ruxue's expression was calm, and she was holding a wine glass in her hand, gently swirling it.

Li Susu looked somewhat uneasy, glancing at Su Yu every now and then. Su Yu was wearing a helmet-like device and sitting in a futuristic machine cabin. She wondered where An Ruxue had gotten this device from.

"No need to look anymore. That thing won't harm him. It just allows him to use his current body to return to his past memories."

"Force, to relive those things that left a deep impression on him."

"Now, several days have passed, and I guess that last thing is the one that I remember most vividly."

Li Susu hesitated, unsure how to begin. An Ruxue glanced at An Ningying and chuckled softly.

Ask whatever you want.

What's in it for you?

The device Li Susu was referring to—after all these days, An Ruxue was clearly capable of brainwashing Su Yu, but…

That's it?

Should we make him relive the past?

What benefits would this bring to An Ruxue?

Wouldn't this only make Su Yu's heart more resilient?

Li Susu felt that she didn't understand something.

But An Ruxue smiled again, and the coldness on her face melted away. These past few days, she seemed to be smiling all the time.

"Why isn't it there?"

From her face, Li Susu could only discern one emotion.

confidence.

Everything is under control...

confidence?

But what is she so confident about?

The manor was barely defended, and the outside was a joint operation by three families. Under these circumstances, An Ruxue could only hold out for another half hour at most.

What is she thinking...?

Li Susu felt that she had been working under An Ruxue for so long, but it seemed that she had never truly seen through her.

An Ruxue remained silent at this point.

Indeed, everything was going according to her plan.

An Ruxue did not set up defenses in the manor because she knew that she would not be able to withstand the siege of the three families on her own.

But why did An Ruxue still want to take Su Yu away?

Because of Su Yu's mindset.

To be honest, An Ruxue didn't know how she could possibly lose to those three.

Power, personality, tolerance.

No matter which one, Su Yu would choose himself.

That leaves only one weakness.

In my heart…

Just like the torment Lin Qingmeng inflicted before, if she had been a little more ruthless, things might be very different now.

and so…

What An Ruxue needs to do is…

Smooth out this awareness.

And now, it's his dream.

That should be the end of it.

The only person who could change his mindset from beginning to end was one person.

Li Qingqing…

Su Yu sat on the edge of her bed, quietly watching Li Qingqing.

This room is really too small. It's so small that it feels cramped if one person lies on the bed or sits on the edge of the bed.

Li Qingqing's face was pale, but when she looked at Su Yu, her face was full of smiles.

Returning to memories.

That explains it.

The Li Qingqing of today is not the one Su Yu imagined.

Rather, it is the real Li Qingqing who truly exists at a certain point in Su Yu's memory.

And this point in time...

It was the day Li Qingqing gave up treatment.

Also...

The day Li Qingqing passed away.

The money An Ruxue gave him was enough to keep Li Qingqing alive.

But she was unwilling to do so.

So, just like many years ago when she left home, she left the ward and returned to the home she shared with Su Yu.

As if noticing the room was too crowded, Li Qingqing's first question was...

So, are you now living in a big house that doesn't feel cramped?

"...I've moved in. The house I live in now is so big that even three people can live together without feeling cramped."

Li Qingqing gave a soft "hmm," her voice weak, and Su Yu knew why.

Because she doesn't have much time left.

That day, the two of them seemed to be like that too, and Li Qingqing seemed to be smiling and saying a lot of things.

But Su Yu didn't hear a single word.

All I remember is that in the end, he held Li Susu's hand and cried for a long, long time, until he had cried all his tears, but she still didn't say another word.

They left quietly.

"Hmm, did you cry after I left?"

"...You didn't cry!"

"Huh? What's wrong? I thought I'd finally get to see you cry, really."

Su Yu didn't speak. He just looked at Li Qingqing quietly, and Li Qingqing took Su Yu's hand.

"So, what difficulties have you encountered?"

"I told you, if you encounter any trouble, come back to me. See? Now you've come back to me, haven't you?"

Su Yu suddenly laughed, his thoughts seemingly drifting back to a long time ago.

Li Qingqing gently rubbed her head and spoke softly.

If you encounter any trouble in the future, come to me for help.

but…

She never appeared again after that day.

and so…

"I have no more troubles now, I'm back this time..."

"I just wanted to see you."

Li Qingqing suddenly smiled, her gentle face filled with a delighted smile, as if she were both carefree and relieved.

"That's good, that's good..."

In fact, it wasn't until many years later that Su Yu understood this.

He always thought he could handle things on his own, felt that he was omnipotent, and felt that he didn't need to rely on Li Qingqing.

But Li Qingqing's actions told him something.

In fact, she hadn't let go of Su Yu until the very last moment.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have said so much.

Thinking of this, Su Yu suddenly smiled, which stunned Li Qingqing, and tears welled up in her eyes.

This was the first time she had seen Su Yu smile.

"Actually, I'm doing very well now."

"I'm not bragging, but I have 600 million in my account right now, and five beautiful girls are chasing after me like crazy, all wanting to be my girlfriend."

"And also, I got into your..."

"I've always wanted to go to that university. After thinking about it, I'll most likely pursue a master's degree, then continue down the academic path, and eventually stay in academia."

"Just stay at school like this."

"Isn't this your goal? Although you can no longer do it, I will do it for you."

“I am cured. I can feel emotions again and I can feel the kindness of others to me.”

“I’ve taken good care of your sister, and I’ve taken her to the beach. All the issues at your home have also been resolved.”
