As if there would be a next time.
I felt like I could die of embarrassment.
D
Sarah and Mark turned around and gave me a
thumbs up.
I had no idea where I was or what was
happening.
Ethan asked me, “Ashley, it’s been eight years. This is my fault. But after eight years, I
wanna know if you would be my girlfriend?”
The wind seemed to stop blowing.
All I could see was Ethan and the sunlight.
If this was the end of the story, that would be
great.
“I can not. We will have no good outcome.”
Г
I walked faster, leaving my sister and Mark
behind.
This time, I couldn’t turn around. I was afraid
to look at Ethan.
After that, Mark kept coming over to see my
sister.
But Ethan never came again.
One day after dinner, Mark helped my sister
lie down.
Then, he sat back down on the couch and
looked at me.
<
“Ashley, can we talk?”
Mark and my sister seemed close, but we
hadn’t really talked much.
He looked at me and got straight to the point.
“Did you go through a rebith?”
I froze.
What was he talking about?
“Or did you is it the transmigrate??”
Mark asked again.
It didn’t make sense, but I knew what he was
getting at.
<
“Do you know this world is a book?”
Mark didn’t say anything.
“I did it all wrong.”
“You can not be with Sarah.”
“If you are with Sarah, she will die!”
I was so sad.
“Why do you know this world is a book! ”
Mark told me what he knew.
He was reincarnated.
He used to have a crush on my sister, but he
thought he wasn’t good enough for her, that
only someone like Ethan deserved to be with
her. So, a long time ago, he went abroad.
He switched his number, trying to cut himself
off from the past.
But then I drugged Ethan, making them be
together.
And my sister got into a car accident because
he came back home after hearing the news.
She was going to see him.
Mark spent the rest of his life feeling guilty.
He died by suicide.
Only after he was dead did he find out he was
living in a story.
く
Except for the male and female leads, we
were all just NPCs, watching them head
toward tragedy.
But he never thought he’d be reborn.
“They say I’m just an NPC in the story, but I
can feel pain and sadness. That means I’m
real! Why should I let the story play out? I’m
going to stay by your sister’s side.”
Mark also told me something that shocked
- me.
“Ethan knew there were drugs in that drink. I
told him about it.
Everything I thought I knew was wrong.
Г
I felt like the world was a joke.
“I’m not Ethan. I don’t know what he’s
thinking. I told him all this because he’s my
brother, and I didn’t want to see him suffer.
Even if he might steal Sarah from me, I had to
tell him. Otherwise, I wouldn’t feel like I won.”
Mark wouldn’t tell me anything else. If I
wanted to know the answer, I had to ask
Ethan.
Before I left, Mark told me one more thing.
“You think you’re the villain because you’re so
evil?”
“Well, yeah.”
He shook bic bood sadly
