Rebirth of a Nation's Darling – Prince Charming

Chapter 1017: Selfishness, Self-esteem, and Inferiority

Zong Haohao was a person with extreme self-esteem, which was equivalent to extreme inferiority. Such a person was not easy to love. Once he loved, it was easy to be extreme, especially when the woman just happened to poke the scar that he cared about the most.

Si Huang didn’t know if the girl who Zong Haohao had brought along to be destroyed in his previous life was the one in front of him. However, regardless of whether it was the case or not, the time had been brought forward, and things had still happened before his eyes.

He thought that in this life, without the cold violence in school, he would have a job that he loved, and he would be able to walk down the road smoothly. This would change Zong Haohao, but in the end, nothing changed. Just like what happened to Su Yueban, everything just took a turn, but it still pointed to the result.

Zong Haohao’s accusation and gaze made Si Huang feel disappointed and annoyed. The expression on his face became even more silent." Do you love her?"

"What?" Zong Haohao heard it clearly but didn’t know how to answer this question.

Si Huang had already gotten the answer from his hesitation." If you loved her, you wouldn’t have brought her here just because she was hurt. You didn’t try to woo her and use anything other than her looks to move her. So what you love is only her devotion and passion for you. In the end, the person you love the most is still yourself."

Zong Haohao wanted to retort, but he couldn’t complete his sentence. Si Huang didn’t try to interrupt him. He continued to speak in a calm and cold tone." You hate her and despise you. Then, have you been honest with her from the beginning?" You feel that you’re hurt, but you also wonder if she was hurt the moment she found out the truth. You can find excuses for losing control of your emotions, but you can’t allow others to do so. Therefore, you love yourself the most, and the person who despises you the most is also you."

" Now that you’ve come this far, the person who forced you to commit suicide was never someone else. It was you." As Si Huang spoke, he laughed mockingly," You made a mistake but you want so many people to take responsibility for you, making others feel guilty. How selfish is that?"

Zong Haohao’s face was ashen. He didn’t dare to look at Si Huang’s eyes. He was roaring in his heart, trying to refute," Don’t be suppressed by this person anymore. Do I have to be suppressed by him even if I die?" How could Si Huang, who had what she wanted the most, understand her pain? How could Si Huang know how much contempt and disgust he had suffered since he was young!

His body was trembling violently, but Zong Haohao couldn’t say a word. He only felt that the bright figure of Phoenix Si made him look dirty. He didn’t want to hide in the darkness and be watched by so many pairs of eyes.

However, people who lived in darkness for a long time would yearn for light even more! Was it wrong for him to want to stand under the sun? Was it wrong?

Si Huang had been looking at Zong Haohao the entire time and naturally noticed the changes in his eyes and expression.

Even if she couldn’t completely guess his thoughts, she could at least find out a little.

Because she knew what it felt like to be in darkness and despair.

It was precisely because she knew and experienced it that Si Huang understood that it was not wrong to desire and pursue the light, but one could not place all their hopes on others. One had to chase after and fight for it and protect it. One also had to have an absolutely strong heart and physique to withstand the light and heat brought by the light. Otherwise, one would not be able to withstand it and burn oneself instead.

At this moment, Zong Haohao had been burned. He either retreated into the darkness or charged forward.

He avoided Phoenix Si’s gaze, but when he lowered his head, he saw a pair of beautiful black eyes.

He didn’t know when, but the girl he tied up had already woken up. He didn’t know when she had started looking at him.

Zong Haohao’s body trembled. He stared at the girl’s face. After a while, he asked her in a low voice, as if he was begging for salvation." Little Yu ’er, do you like me?"

The girl looked at him quietly for two to three seconds before shaking her head.

Zong Haohao’s expression instantly twisted, as if he wanted to laugh and cry at the same time.

Su Yue wanted to say something but was stopped by Yuan Liang.

"Didn’t you say that fish can’t live without water and you can’t live without the deep sea? You clearly said that even if you die, you’re willing to die with me! You clearly said that the only person you like the most in this world is me!" Even though Zong Haohao’s voice was hoarse, it couldn’t hide his natural calmness. Just hearing his voice made people think of a noble young master who was grieving and crying blood. It made people feel sympathetic from the bottom of their hearts.

The girl’s pale lips opened, and as soon as she opened her mouth, she said in a trembling and determined voice," I like DeepSea. He’s a gentle, confident, and a little shy man! He is especially good at singing and will tolerate my willfulness! He wouldn’t lie! If he couldn’t say it or didn’t want to say it, he would rather not say it than lie! I like him, I like him so much, I like him so much!"

"You’re not the deep sea...Wuuu-!" The girl’s voice was hoarse, and she cried even more miserably than Zong Haohao." You’re not DeepSea. Why did you lie to me?! DeepSea wouldn’t lie to me! She wouldn’t be as ugly as you and wouldn’t do such a thing. This is all fake...

Go to hell! Why not die! Do you think I’m afraid? Go to hell if you have the ability! Are you going to push me down?"

Zong Haohao’s body swayed, scaring Su Yueban and the others.

His attention fell on the girl." I’m DeepSea..." Listen to my voice, I am!"

The girl shook her head." No, DeepSea isn’t as self-abased and selfish as you."

This description caused Zong Haohao’s expression to change drastically. All his emotions were pushed to the peak by these two words. He looked at Si Huang with resentment.

He widened his eyes and realized that Phoenix Si had already walked in front of him from three meters away.

Zong Haohao was so scared that he took a step back. Then, he lost his balance.

Zong Haohao fell into the void amidst his screams. His eyes were wide open as he reached out to grab his light, refusing to let go until he died.

A hand grabbed his wrist and held Zong Haohao in midair.

Zong Haohao only had one foot on the ground. His body was completely tilted, and he relied on this hand to stabilize his body.

This position made him very powerless, and his life was out of his control.

He raised his head and saw Si Huang’s face. His lips curled into a sarcastic smile, as if he was mocking Si Huang for saving him.

Si Huang had already shrunk back,"Do you still want to die? Do you feel the taste of death? Are you afraid?"

Zong Haohao opened his mouth and realized that his throat was so dry that he couldn’t speak. It was all because of the shock.

He lowered his eyes, not wanting to show his cowardice in front of Si Huang." Let go."

Si Huang’s gaze darkened, as if he did not hear what he said," You want to decide her life, then I will decide yours now."

Zong Haohao thought that Si Huang was trying to pull him back. He raised his eyes and glared at her angrily, trying to pull his hand back. Why couldn’t he even decide his own life?
