Chapter 776: What Is Love?

Translator: Lordbluefire

Lu Cheng asked this question from the perspective of Chu Cichen.

He couldn’t accept that Shen Ruojing had a relationship with Song Chen while Chu Cichen was still alive and breathing.

But as soon as he asked this accusing question, he saw Song Chen’s eyes darken slightly, and he smiled, “What do you think?”

Lu Cheng choked.

Song Chen spoke, “Tonight is our wedding night. If nothing happens, she will definitely suspect something, right?”

Lu Cheng clenched his fists and turned to look at Chu Cichen, who was sitting on the hospital bed.

Chu Cichen’s face was pale as paper, and his entire body had become so emaciated that he was unrecognizable. He coughed, not knowing whether he paid attention to Lu Cheng’s words, and simply said, “Did 1 disturb you?”

Song Chen narrowed his eyes, “Jingjing fell asleep from exhaustion. I didn’t disturb her when 1 left.”

Lu Cheng sneered beside him, “She got tired in just half an hour? That’s impossible.”

Song Chen scoffed, “So you guys are indeed monitoring me.”

Lu Cheng wanted to say something, but Chu Cichen interrupted, “Just to make sure you don’t reveal anything.”

Song Chen suppressed his anger and continued, “Jingjing wasn’t exhausted because of me, but because of this whole wedding affair from morning till night. Alright, I’m here now. Shouldn’t you tell me when to start?”

Only when he inherited all the memories could he truly become Chu Cichen.

By then…

Song Chen’s gaze darkened.

“Why are you in such a hurry?”

Lu Cheng sneered, “Are you so eager to take over?”

Song Chen didn’t say anything, just looked at Chu Cichen.

In his heart, he had already thought of numerous ways to kill Lu Cheng!

As long as he inherited all of Chu Cichen’s memories, Chu Cichen would no longer have any reason to exist.

But Chu Cichen said, “It can start soon, but before that, 1 have a favor to ask of you.”

Song Chen felt impatient, but he replied earnestly, “Go ahead.”

Chu Cichen waved his hand towards Lu Cheng.

Suppressing his anger, Lu Cheng walked to the side and pulled open a curtain, revealing a pile of gift boxes, each clearly marked with a number.

Song Chen paused for a moment and asked in confusion, “What is this?”

“Birthday gifts,” Chu Cichen said calmly, “Starting from this year until Jingjing’s looth birthday, I have prepared them all. 1’11 trouble you to give her one each year from now on.”

Song Chen’s voice faltered. New chapters are published on Novᴇ(l)Fɪre.net

He froze.

He clenched his fists and looked at Chu Cichen with a puzzled expression, then glanced at the gift boxes.

Suddenly, he asked, “Are you doing this to disgust me?”

Even if he became Chu Cichen, the birthday gifts prepared for each year would certainly be different. They couldn’t possibly align with Chu Cichen’s current mindset.

Chu Cichen replied, “It’s not to disgust you, but to wake you up.”

Song Chen didn’t understand.

Chu Cichen continued, “People’s hearts can change. As you and Jingjing spend more time together in the future, perhaps you will lose the determination and courage you have now to marry her. I want you to remember these gifts on Jingjing’s birthday each year, to remember your original intention, and to remember what you have sacrificed to win Jingjing.”

Song Chen hesitated for a moment and tightly gripped his fingers. “I don’t understand what you’re saying.”

“I think you understand,” said Chu Cichen, lowering his gaze. “Your hands are stained with too much blood, including mine.”

Song Chen was instantly shocked. He looked at Chu Cichen abruptly, “You… know?”

Chu Cichen smiled. “Know what? Do I know that you deliberately set up that childish competition to prove that your love for Jingjing is fake and that you wanted to kill me?”

Song Chen’s body froze instantly, and he looked around warily. Then he furrowed his brow and asked, “When did you find out?”

Chu Cichen slowly spoke, “Even six years ago, I wouldn’t have been so naive. So I started thinking that you must have had a purpose. It wasn’t until I saw Jingjing’s broken oxygen cylinder in the tunnel that I understood everything. Your act of saving Dr. Xu’s parents was fake, but your intention to kill me was real.”

Song Chen swallowed hard, incredulously looking at Chu Cichen. “You couldn’t have known so early. If you had known, how could you have asked me to replace you and accompany her?”

Chu Cichen lowered his gaze. “Because 1 was dying.”

Song Chen paused.

Chu Cichen laughed. “Song Chen, 1 have always felt responsible for you because your thoughts are just like your body, imprisoned. You are me from six years ago, always stuck at the age of twenty.”

“Back then, young and reckless love was about possession, so you would go to any lengths to replace me and stand by Jingjing’s side.”

Song Chen sneered, “Love itself is about possession. Isn’t your possessiveness strong too? Wouldn’t you feel uncomfortable if Jingjing spoke a few words to another man?”

Chu Cichen said, “In my younger days, I would, because I was too young and didn’t understand love.”

Song Chen scoffed, “And now you understand? Don’t pretend like you’ve transcended worldly affairs!”

But Chu Cichen said, “Now 1 do understand.”

“Love is about fulfillment, but sometimes it’s also about letting go.”

“I don’t want to see Jingjing suffer, so I’m willing to give up this position to you, so that her future life can be forever happy and peaceful.”

Chu Cichen looked at him earnestly.

With his own life, he taught Song Chen a lesson.

He spoke, “Now, 1 will give you what you want..”
