V1: Chapter 43: "If She Has My Child, Will She Never Leave Me?"

"You...you remember!" Liang Di exclaimed excitedly again, grabbing Liang Lin's hand.

Liang Lin looked slightly embarrassed, pulling her hand away and scratching the back of her head.

"No...that was all from when I was little. I only have a vague memory, nothing really. So, you're the little girl Octaville brought over back then?"

"Yes, yes!"

Although Liang Lin's statement about not remembering much saddened Liang Di, she reassured herself that Liang Lin still cared for her.

"I remember back then, Liang Lin, you said you'd marry me when you grew up."

"Pfft, cough cough!"

Liang Lin coughed, choking on the biscuit crumbs in her mouth. She wiped her mouth and replied awkwardly, "That was just something I said when I was little, just childish talk. You don't need to take it to heart."

"Childish talk?"

Liang Di was taken aback at first, then her expression slowly turned grim.

"What do you mean by that? So, all those things you said before don't count? Liang Lin, I didn't recognize you at first because you had a different appearance, but when you mentioned Octaville, I knew it was you. At first, I thought you were dead… Do you know how long I was heartbroken?"

Oh dear, how could she say that… it made Liang Lin's conscience ache. After all, she had once wanted to kill her childhood friend. She seemed to have said she would protect her friend when they were little, but now, she wanted to kill her—it was truly laughable.

"I…" Liang Lin lowered her head in shame.

Wait, why was she ashamed?

I'm the victim here!

"Hey, how dare you accuse me like this? Have you forgotten what you did to me?"

Liang Lin was furious.

Just thinking about how Liang Di had clung to her made her blush and her heart race with shame. She had been played with by a delicate girl, left limp and unable to get up.

Liang Di, however, showed no remorse.

"I'm actually glad it was you," Liang Di said, her hand caressing Liang Lin's face. "If my first love wasn't you, I would be very sad."

No, wait, this feels more like a confession!

"Hey...! Talk is one thing, but don't keep touching me!"

Liang Lin crawled back a few steps, keeping a safe distance from Liang Di, shrinking into a small ball against the wall, looking like a virtuous woman about to be violated.

"Don't you feel even a little bit ashamed?!"

"Why?"

Liang Di tilted her head, confused.

“Oh~ you’re right, I was really too violent back then,” Liang Di said without hesitation. “If I had known it was you, I would have treated you much more gently.”

Wait, what…?

Liang Lin stammered, feeling she couldn’t explain herself to her.

“I mean, you, you did that kind of thing to me, don’t you feel ashamed?”

“Why should I feel ashamed?” Liang Di retorted, her eyes filled with deep confusion. “If I had known it was you, I would have been even more eager to do that kind of thing.”

Liang Lin: “…”

Sister! There’s a pervert here!

In those hazy memories, Liang Di was a very cute little girl with chubby cheeks. Why did she grow up to be such a pervert?!

As Liang Lin was about to break down, Liang Di climbed onto the bed and slowly moved towards Liang Lin, closing in on her directly. She stared intently at her.

“But… Sister Liang Lin, your expression back then told me you weren’t really in pain, you were happy, weren’t you?”

Liang Di’s face showed a blissful expression as she rested her forehead on Lianglin’s shoulder.

“Doing that kind of thing with someone you like, isn’t that wonderful?”

With…someone I like?

Doing that kind of thing?

Someone I like?

Doing that kind of thing?

“Liang Di, I…don’t have romantic feelings for you, ah, no, I don’t have lesbian feelings.”

Lianglin explained with difficulty, while shrugging her shoulders.

“Besides, before this, I always considered you a rival. You could tell, I… I really wanted to kill you back then.”

At this point, Liang Lin probably realized it was inappropriate and quickly explained, “But I don’t want to kill you now, after all…we used to be good friends.”

Liang Lin clearly felt Liang Di’s body stiffen abruptly. She slowly moved her head away from Liang Lin’s shoulder, looked up, and in disbelief, her sapphire blue pupils gradually began to glow with a hint of green.

"No... romantic feelings?"

"Even from before?"

"Good friends?"

"That's all."

"Is that right really true, Liang Lin?"

For some reason, looking at the girl in front of her like this, Liang Lin's sixth sense told her that something bad was about to happen. But, Liang Lin still forced herself to nod.

"Yes, that's right."

Although Liang Di didn't understand what love was, she knew what possession was, what possessiveness was, what it meant to want to meld the girl in front of her into her very bones.

Hearing those harsh words, Liang Di's heart bled. A feeling of powerlessness at not being able to get what she wanted spread throughout her body.

"It can't be..."

"It can't be like this..."

Liang Di murmured, her lips moving slightly, speaking incoherently.

Liang Lin, standing beside her, couldn't hear what she was saying. There seemed to be a vortex in her pupils.

Liang Di was deep in thought.

She remembered what Octaville said before.

"Fatherly and motherly love are the greatest things in the world. When a mother has a child, she often loses her freedom and gives up things she wants."

As for why she said that… well, it's because she experienced it firsthand.

So, what about Liang Lin?

So...

If it were the Liang Lin of the past, Liang Di would never have let her get pregnant with her child. But the Liang Lin of now is the Liang Lin of her childhood. That's different. In Liang Di's eyes, the current Liang Lin is the perfect lover. Even that malice and cruelty becomes adorable in Liang Di's eyes.

People are probably all hypocritical.

"Sister Liang Lin, I want a child."

Liang Di suddenly opened her arms and threw herself into Liang Lin's embrace, like a ghost sucking away at a soul, greedily absorbing Liang Lin's essence.

Liang Lin was startled by this scene.

"Hey! Liang Di! Are you having another episode?"

Liang Lin grabbed Liang Di, who was clinging to her, and even tore Liang Di's clothes with her strength.

Liangdi's smooth back was completely exposed.
