Chapter 1346 We are still very brave

"What do you want to say to me?"

"Well, let's talk about it, after this is over."

During that meeting, the girl named Bai Mo reached out her hand to him.

She is really gentle, just like she used to be, as gentle as a fool.

That was also a rare opportunity for Padu to be alone with him.

She knew clearly that there was no possibility for them to communicate at all, and she was also very clear that compared to this unknown enemy of hers, those puppet heroes could gain her trust more.

She should have been prepared, ready to stand against everyone.

But at that moment, when the girl invited her, she still hesitated.

She still had hope.

Until that hope was shattered.

Can't let her get through!

We can't let her continue to destroy the engravings.

But the hostility that the girl showed towards her at that moment shattered the hope that had just risen in her heart.

Who doesn't want hope?

Many times, when you think you have given up completely.

Hope appears before your eyes, will you grab it?

Will you lend a hand?

She will.

And it's not the first time.

I tried countless times to reach out and grasp the hope that I knew didn't exist.

But what you get in return is always a sharp knife stabbing your heart.

"I'm going over now, if you keep blocking me..."

Bai Mo remembered the familiar voice, remembered it very clearly, those were the words he had said at the time.

How determined she was at that time, firmly regarding the person in front of her as an enemy.

Her eyes were full of hostility, but at that moment, what made the girl freeze in place and not choose to continue to stop him was not her own hostility, but the past that flashed in the girl's eyes at that moment.

Scenes flashed before my eyes. At that moment, the memory of the day when Abai hurt me seemed so precious.

It turns out that compared to the harm caused by forgetting and confusion, the unknown but clear hostility is more painful!

That was also their first contact.

The two passed each other.

One person walked away without turning around.

One person shed a tear and left quietly.

She swore that she would never cry again, and never...have hope again.

...

If you look at the past from another perspective, you will find that you have missed so much.

If he wasn't here, Bai Mo wouldn't know that the girl had once stepped on the cherry tree and picked a cherry blossom.

"The cherry blossoms are so beautiful, just like their long hair. Whenever the wind blows, they can decorate the sky with a patch of pink."

She also stopped and listened to the music in the church amidst the flames and fire.

"I never get tired of Eden's music, no matter how many times I listen to it. Now that I think about it, I once said to Bai, 'It's a pity that I can't steal Eden's music notes, otherwise they would be very beautiful if they were placed in the shop.'"

I have also opened that book to see that world and that person's story.

"If my life were a comic book, I would be a crying thief, right? I wonder... would you like it?"

Sakura is unaware of her existence, but cherry blossoms fall on her fingertips.

Eden didn't realize it, but the music was always with her.

Bai Mo saw the entire story, but he didn't know that his inner thoughts were also recorded there.

It turns out she has always been there.

It turns out she never left.

It turns out we missed each other.

It turns out that cats can cry, too.

Can……

She should have been able to enjoy the flowers with Sakura.

Be a spectator of Eden.

Read a story with Bai Mo.

But at this moment, she could only stand far away, watching everything that was once familiar, and steal away, yes, steal...

Go and steal that little bit of warmth that belongs to you now.

That was definitely the most precious thing she had ever stolen.

…………

boom!

The loud noise caused the rubble to fall to the ground, carrying her body.

That was the last attempt.

But she failed.

The burning flames of the tall figure appeared vaguely in her blurred vision, and his powerful feet stepped on her lower abdomen.

The intense pain caused her body to convulse on the ground.

In the blurred vision, there was Qianjie's raised fist.

She knew she was going to die, and at that moment, maybe it would be good to just die like that, at least for her, everything would be over.

But, I am unwilling...

She clearly hasn't fulfilled her promise yet.

She wants to defend this place.

Hold on...

"Hold on..."

She murmured softly, perhaps it was something she blurted out unnaturally because of her obsession.

But that made Qianjie hesitate.

A brief hesitation gave her an opportunity.

Taking out the feather, the scorching heat could not hurt Qianjie, but it pushed her back.

With just a moment's respite, she escaped.

Dragging her weak body, it was even difficult for her to walk at that moment.

But she had to move on.

Where to go? Where else to go?

Before she knew it, she fell into a coma.

She had a dream in which someone kept calling her.

Catch up with yourself.

Maybe it was madness, or maybe it was just the power of obsession that made her never stop even in her dreams.

There is someone chasing me from behind, and I keep being told this.

Hold on!

Hold on here!

"Actually, don't force yourself."

"If you're tired, take a rest."

Amid the sounds of pursuit, a gentle whisper enveloped her.

It was as if a warm hand was caressing her cheek.

"Who is it?" At that moment, the girl who was being chased felt unprecedented relaxation.

"Well... how should I put it? She is a beautiful and caring girl."

"How is it? Are my hands soft?"

"you……"

"Sorry..." A finger gently pressed on Padre's lips.

"Stop talking and listen to me."

"That's enough. The brave cat defeated the wind and snow. Now, take a good rest."

"Our hero."

When she opened her eyes, Padu found herself lying quietly on a garden lounge chair.

"Was that a dream?"

"Is that enough?"

She didn't know, she didn't know if it was enough, could she really take a rest?

But in an unnatural way, she still walked to the last cursor and stood in front of Qianjie!

She was very brave at that moment.

In the end, she did not retreat, she bravely held Qianjie.

Although, that didn't help.

But she won't give up again.

She will defend this place! No matter what! At all costs!

"Don't go over there again!"

When she was held down by that girl, when she saw that girl looking at her, she said that sentence.

"If we could be friends..."

friend……

These two words are so heavy for her at this moment.

Can we still be friends?

Just thinking of this, she, who had clearly promised not to cry again, broke her promise.

"Don't stop me, please~!"

"Abai, I can't hold on any longer! Really... I can't hold on any longer~!"

"I have to defend this place! I can't..."

"I...I must defend it!"

...

Everyone already knows the final outcome.

The girl failed in the end.

Let the weakest person carry the heaviest shackles.

At the end of the story, the skill that one is best at, escaping, is used to protect.

Everything fades away here.

...

When the sight was fixed, when Bai Mo's empty eyes flickered slightly, a tear quietly fell on the girl's fingertips, and the splashing water stains mixed with the dissipated starlight disappeared together.

The black coat had long been removed, revealing the girl's disheveled and thin body.

That small body was covered with dense scars and shocking...burns.

"Pado~"

...

"You recognized me~"

She stretched out her hand and wanted to touch Bai Mo's cheek, but her eyes gradually turned into lifeless emptiness due to exhaustion.

But even so, there was still a smile on her lips, to Bai Mo and to everyone.

"Abai~ This time... I didn't run away..."

"We are still very brave, right?"

"I know... I know." Holding the girl in his arms, Bai Mo hugged her tightly, wanting to give her belated warmth.

But the tighter she hugged him, the more she could feel the person in her arms disappearing, and the voice whispering in her ear:

"Remember to... praise me more..."
