9 Love or Life? 9

For a while, the whole car was filled with stagnant air until Xi Sheng broke the silence.

Her hands shuddered as she asks:"This world is a scientific and modern period. So, supernatural is impossible... Right?"

008's eyes glinted vengeance but were soon replaced by magnanimity:"Host, the possibility of unknown forces to appear are quite high."

Let me scare you for a bit.

After hearing his answer, Xi Sheng's whole body became tense. She suddenly felt several gazes directed at her, and the temperature decrease bit by bit.

008 was trying to maintain a calm demeanor, while his shaking shoulders and contorted smile say otherwise...

Mechanical voice who was watching the bullshit scenario cannot help but to raise his eyebrow. He glances at a certain someone who was smiling victoriously as if he's not scared of paranormal existence.

[Yes, ghosts and other spooky stuffs might appear in this world.]

008 who was smiling earlier was jolted awake.

You're kidding, right?

Suddenly, cold wind brushes into Xi Sheng's pallid and sweaty forehead.

Her eyes became even more lifeless:"I swear, I freaking closed all of the car windows earlier."

Then again, a freezing wind dance inside the car.

Xi Sheng lowers her head and closes her eyes.

She inhales a mouthful of air and dispels it calmly. She repeated these steps for an umpteenth time.

008 who was also copying Xi Sheng looks peaceful and still.

This scene actually appears harmonious and lovely. A pity that this tranquil setting is nothing but a veil that covers the tumultuous truth.

Xi Sheng:"I'm not scared of ghosts. I'm not scared of ghosts. I'm not scared of ghosts..."

008:"They can't hurt me. They can't hurt me. They can't hurt me..."

[Kidding. They don't exist in this world.]

His remark causes the two cowards to pause and regain their hypocritical bravery.

Xi Sheng which is still shaking:"I.. I know! And I'm not afraid of them!"

008:"...yes! And they can't even hurt me anyway!"

Mechanical voice: [Your self-deceptive chants seem working.]

Continue to delude yourselves.

Xi Sheng organizes the stack of documents and heard a screech coming from the window.

Cold air blew past her from the slight opening from the window.

Xi Sheng breathes in the cold air...

Just calm down...

Truth is, the weight of the documents is quite heavy and Xi Sheng unknowingly put the stack in her lap, half of its weight were pressing down in the window button, causing the window to open.

Stumbling upon this truth, Xi Sheng tries to appease herself.

I am a civilised human, a law-abiding citizen, I respect everyone, I don't like violence, I love peace....

However, Xi Sheng cannot repress the urge to wreck havoc and she fell into utter vehemence.

--Boom!

She threw the documents at the back of the car. Papers were flying like frantic snow.

She punches the papers that falls into her and curses at them.

While she's busy venting her stress, 008 is also occupied in releasing his distress. He jumps around the space like a sore idiot.

At the end of their outburst, Xi Sheng gathers the papers and reorganised it, 008 collected oxygen and stabilised his breathing pattern.

I am still a human, that's all that matters.

I am the great system...

Mechanical voice said nonchalantly: [Wow.]

The power to deceive yourselves is really amazing.

...

When 4 pm arrived, Xi Sheng ended her reading time and went to Yu Zhan's house.

"You're here," Yu Zhan appeared in a pink apron that was gifted by Xi Sheng.

"Let's eat first, shall we?"

He pulls the chair and waited until Xi Sheng sat on it.

"I know that you love these dishes, so I specifically made it just for you. I really hope that my humble cooking will satisfy you."

Peking duck, sweet and sour pork, Sichuan mapo tofu, dumplings, spring roll... These are all her favorites.

008:"He's delivering you to your last meal."

Xi Sheng:"Shut up."

She looks into his eyes and inquires what's going on, but she was met with a sad smile.

"Sheng, I know that you don't like celebrating our anniversary. But I still like to have a meal with you in our 4th anniversary."

008:"4th? Coincidence or not?"

Xi Sheng:"Will it kill you to shut your mouth for the time being?"

008 retorts back:"It will kill me in not making you regret your decision."

Xi Sheng sighs and did the first bite.

"Tasty."

When Yu Zhan heard her praise, he beams a shy and coquettish smile.

The air was filled with harmony until 008 speaks with his filthy mouth.

008:"Anniversary? What anniversary? Death anniversary may be?"

Cough! Cough!

Fucking system!

Cough!

Yu Zhan quickly pats her back and swiftly drop and a tablet in Xi Sheng's water.

"Drink this."

Cough!

"Thanks..."

They resumed their meal and fill their stomachs in silence.

Xi Sheng:"If you make one more shitty remark, I'll silence you."

008 scoffs:"How are you going to do that huh? There's no button for... That."

A red 'MUTE' button suddenly appears.

008:"I'll shut up."

Finally, some peacefulness.

After their meal, Yu Zhan and Xi Sheng sat face-to-face with each other.

"I belive that you didn't invite me for a mere anniversary."

"Mere... Anniversary? Hah."

Yu Zhan acted like he can't believe what Xi Sheng just said.

008:"You're agitating him, you know."

Xi Sheng:"That's why we're here. To agitate him."

"Sheng, in these four years that we're together, did you even love me?"

Xi Sheng acted annoyed:"Yu Zhan, every damn year, why are you acting so dramatic?"

"Then, stop averting my question. All you have to say is yes or no!"

"Why are you making this difficult for me?"

"You don't love me, do you?"

Xi Sheng:"If I say I don't love him, will he kill me?"

008:"Without a doubt, he will."

Yu Zhan:"Silence means yes."

Tears escaped from his eyes.

Xi Sheng:"..."

Psychopaths really are amazing. They can play roles they want to be.

-Drip! Drip! Drop!

Sounds of rain hitting the lands resounded in.

"I guess the heavens are also pitying me, for loving the heartless you..."

Yu Zhan continues to weeps in front of her, trying to garner any sympathy from her. He tried several distressing and miserable words, but he failed.

Having no reaction from her, Yu Zhan stood up and kneels before her.

"Your smile, you gaze, your smell, your touch, your kisses..."

He is being choked by his sobs but he still carries on being pathetic and weak.

"Even if you don't give me your love, but please just give me those and stay by my side, that's enough for me..."

When Yu Zhan kisses her hands devotedly, Xi Sheng felt his quivering and hot tears. She tried to pull it, but Yu Zhan tightened his hold and place her hands into his cheeks like he was longing for her to touch him.

"You're probably ridiculing me in your heart, but please, just let me hear your voice. Even if its mocking words just let me, hear your voice. Please..."

Xi Sheng tries to relax her body, but Yu Zhan thought that she's going to leave him. His reaction caused Xi Sheng to yelp.

"No! Please don't leave me!"

He hugs her body lower abdomen tightly, rendering Xi Sheng unable to move.

Xi Sheng:"I'm just trying to enjoy your show..."

008:"He's quite good. If not for the fierceness in his eyes, I'll probably believe it."

[The two of you are so heartless.]

Yu Zhan's tears are starting to dampen her blouse, and Xi Sheng just let him have his ways.

"Even if there's someone you truly love..."

Yu Zhan paused.

"Although it pisses me off when I think that you'll love someone other me, I'll accept it even if you keep me on the sidelines!"

Xi Sheng:"Do I look like a two-timer?" 008:"Yes."

"So please! I'll do anything, just don't cast me aside!"

"Your the worst..."

Xi Sheng vision became blurry and her surrounding looks like from a kaleidoscope.

[Notice:Harmful medicine taking effect. As a defense mechanism, the host will faint while the drug is being expelled.]

"Sob...but I'm also an idiot for loving the merciless you."

Before she lost consciousness, she hears 008 exclaiming 'lame' on Yu Zhan's last sentence.

While all of she could think of was...

'Psychopaths really are amazing...'
