Even until Death, the Scum Gong thought I was a White Lotus

Ch15 - I’m the fool

Those frigid words were akin to icicles stabbing into Tan Tao’s heart.

He looked disbelievingly towards his lover, who only moments ago had been docile and agreeable. “Darling, what’s wrong?” 

Didn’t he say he would forgive him?

“Go away.”

Xie Mu glanced at the man with abhorrence and a tinge of confusion in his eyes.

He stumbled along with the support of the wall, fully expressing his hatred towards the man in his way. 

How, how did it turn out like this.

Tan Tao’s lips trembled, his voice hoarse, “Darling, didn’t you say that you would still forgive me, even if you remembered everything?”

Was all that tenderness and sweetness between the lovers fake?

The youth didn’t know what he was talking about, wrinkling his brows. He struggled to hold onto the wall as he tried to leave this place with Tan Tao.

“Darling, what’s wrong with you, I…”

The man rushed up to grab his hand.

“Go away! Get out of the way!!”

Xie Mu, who had been strenuously maintaining his calm, immediately panicked, frantically trying to shake off his hand and kicking Tan Tao with a foot. 

“What more do you want to do to me!!”

His eyes were full of hatred, and even as he shrunk back, his eyes remained so hard and stubborn. “I told you, Bo Qin won’t let you off!”

Though Xie Mu tried to keep up his cold front, Tan Tao still detected fear in his eyes.

A familiar sense of terror made his body go cold. 

The person he liked feared him. There was nothing on Earth that could be crueler than this.

Once upon a time, Tan Tao had acted recklessly, believing everything to be hopeless and lost. He brute-forced his way through things because, at that point, he had nothing to fear.

But now, now he had felt warmth.

Xie Mu could be gentle and docile in his arms, obediently accepting the touches of his lips. 

Now, however, his darling was once again afraid of him.

Xie Mu didn’t hesitate to act with cruelty, and a bone-piercing pain landed on Tan Tao’s leg.

No, not his leg, his heart.

Where did it go wrong? 

Clearly, Xiao Mu had said that he would forgive him.

Did this mean that after remembering everything, he would just disregard all the good times they had had?

Was Bo Qin that great?

Even though he had treated Xiao Mu like that, even though he had thrown him away like garbage, he could still forgive him so easily. He could go back to Bo Qin’s embrace, just like that? 

Tan Tao currently felt as if he were standing outside in the snow on a freezing winter day, his body frozen to the point of chills.

But he didn’t want to give up so easily, letting go of the happiness he had felt in this period.
