She should have left decisively, leaving him a heartless back. But seeing him curled up on the ground, a trace of compassion arose in her heart. This compassion was not because he was this world’s alternate personality, and his death would be detrimental to the main personality, but a pure, non-utilitarian compassion.
She hesitated, sitting on the ground, conflicted about Yue Linze nearby. Fortunately, Yue Linze recovered quickly and soon could sit up and yell at her: “Are you stupid? Always using a police baton, can’t you live without it?”
Yue Linze was introverted and complex. Whether it was the previous alternate personality or the main personality, or the person before her, Tao Yu had never seen Yue Linze’s face so angry. She was momentarily stunned, and after recovering, she retorted: “You kissed me first!”
“You use a police baton just because I kissed you? Why electrocute me?!” Yue Linze angrily questioned. His lip wound was no lighter than Tao Yu’s, still seeping blood. “Don’t you know we’re connected? Don’t you know about human body conductivity?!”
Tao Yu was stunned. She thought he was angry because she beat him, but it was actually… Her heart instantly became complicated. Facing Yue Linze’s angry gaze, she couldn’t help but apologize: “Sorry…”
“Don’t do it again,” Yue Linze glanced at her sideways and stood up, reaching out to pull her up.
Tao Yu immediately let go after standing firm, not wanting to provoke him further.
Yue Linze sneered, and seeing her lip wound, said nothing more.
Tao Yu organized her complex inner feelings, coughed, and lowered her eyes: “Let’s pretend today never happened. Don’t be stubborn anymore. If I truly liked you, I wouldn’t bear to say things that would hurt you. You’ll understand this when you meet someone who really likes you.”
Yue Linze’s smile faded, staring at her steadily.
Tao Yu was somewhat annoyed, running a hand through her short hair, making it messy: “Forget it. Explaining to you is useless. Just remember one thing: we’re impossible. Not because of identity or anything else, just because I’m not interested. I’m leaving.”
