Chapter 52: Atonement

Ji Siyue felt a bit dizzy.

It seemed that in a daze, she recalled an afternoon in her senior year of high school. Qin Chengyao was sitting right across from her, holding a book in pure English.

Her English was not good back then, so all her knowledge about this book came from Qin Chengyao.

He told her about the most touching love stories and the most evil revenge stories in the book. Of course, there was also the part about confession and atonement in the end.

He said that this was his favorite part, and it was simply romantic.

But now, he was standing in front of her, using his favorite story plot to confess his once - hidden dark thoughts to her, which once again shocked Ji Siyue.

Suddenly, she felt that she couldn't quite figure out the person in front of her.

"Wh - what do you mean by saying these words?"

"Don't you understand, Ji Siyue? If I get your forgiveness, I can officially start my atonement. Atonement means doing good deeds, and I'll only do good deeds for you."

"That means..." Ji Siyue suddenly widened her eyes, hardly believing what she had just heard.

Qin Chengyao completed her unfinished sentence: "Ji Siyue, can I start chasing you all over again?"

Can I start chasing you all over again?

Start chasing you again.

Ji Siyue...

"Hehe..."

"You silly girl, what are you giggling about?"

Tian Cheng pounced on Ji Siyue from behind, waking the giggling girl up.

Ji Siyue wasn't annoyed at all for being interrupted because she was in an extremely good mood today.

"Why are you scaring me like this?"

"I just saw you looking like you were in love and couldn't help but come and pat you."

Actually, Tian Cheng just wondered what good things had happened to this girl recently that made her so happy. The idea of her being in love was just a random guess of hers. But unexpectedly, this girl seemed to be stimulated. She suddenly stood up from her chair and shook her head like a rattle.

"I'm not in love! Don't talk nonsense!"

Tian Cheng: "...Confess and you'll be lenient; resist and you'll be punished severely. Have you had some good news recently?"

"What good news?"

Actually, what she had heard and experienced this afternoon was just a confession from Qin Chengyao.

He confessed his love to her again, wanting to start chasing her anew and atone for the little bit of darkness in his heart.

But in Ji Siyue's view, the appearance of such darkness was actually reasonable, and there was no need for atonement at all.

She wanted to tell Qin Chengyao these words, but the words got stuck in her throat. When she looked at Qin Chengyao, she had an intuition that this man in front of her actually knew everything. His so - called confession was just another reason for him to chase her openly.

Wasn't this also a kind of romance?

After two years of single life, Ji Siyue felt that her heart, which had been covered in dust, suddenly brightened up at this moment, as if she was bathed in the sun again.

Tian Cheng still didn't believe her words, but since Ji Siyue didn't want to say more, she had no choice but to give up. With a sigh, she went back to her own bed.

The next day.

It was time for the live - broadcast in the afternoon.

Ji Siyue skillfully turned on her live - broadcast equipment. After warming up the atmosphere, she greeted her audience.

"Good afternoon, everyone! Summer vacation is coming in a couple of days. I wonder if you're as excited as I am."

"Wow! Of course I'm excited. I don't have to attend morning and evening self - studies anymore."

"As a college student, I've long given up on the hope of holidays."

Seeing this bullet comment, Ji Siyue suddenly recalled the afternoon when she fainted because of the exam. She smiled and interacted with the audience.

"I'm also a college student, but I'm actually looking forward to the vacation. After all, after the intense review and exams, I can finally fully devote myself to the live - broadcast. Starting from tomorrow, I'll make up for all the half - month leave I took."

Actually, this small rented room was her home in a sense.

Her parents were no longer alive, and going back to the old house didn't make any sense. So she rented a room near the school as her home. Since this was her place and she had nothing to do during the vacation, making up for the live - broadcast hours was the first task she had to complete.

Hearing this news, the fans in the live - broadcast room were extremely excited.

"Does that mean I can watch the live - broadcast while holding my bowl?"

"I think Yue Bing (Ji Siyue's nickname) is the least appetizing anchor ever. Other anchors start their live - broadcasts during meal times so that the audience can stay longer. Her live - broadcast time is the same as working hours."

Ji Siyue explained with a wronged look: "You'd better not look at your phone while eating. I'm doing this for your health."

Actually... the original intention was just to not delay her own meal. After signing the contract, the live - broadcast time was set at the time when she used to do live - broadcasts most often, and it hadn't been changed until now.

"I said last time that I would take you to play a friendly match, but it was postponed because of some things. Today, I'll just continue the live - broadcast as I did yesterday."

Ji Siyue controlled her character and walked along the same route as yesterday. Halfway through, a character blocked her way.

Ji Siyue: "..."

Why did she feel that this scene was so familiar, as if she had encountered it before?

[Private Chat] Xiaoxi: Do you really have to be so merciless?

[Private Chat] Jiyueji: ???

[Private Chat] Xiaoxi: Stop pretending. Can't you guess who I am?

[Private Chat] Jiyueji: I can guess, but I just don't understand why you always come out of nowhere to cause trouble.

[Private Chat] Xiaoxi: Since you posted that Weibo, my information has been gradually dug out. Aren't you a bit guilty?

[Private Chat] Jiyueji: Since you've come to me again, I have something to say to you. Listen carefully. Regarding the matter of people digging out your information, it might be done by some of my extremely angry fans. I'd like to officially apologize to you on their behalf. If you're not satisfied, I can even let my information be dug out to make you feel better. But shouldn't you also fulfill what you're supposed to do?
