Honkai Impact 3: What to do if your future wives are eyeing you?

Chapter 91 If that day comes, I will personally end everything between us.

Before Chen Feng could even wipe the smile off his face, Mei had already lowered her eyes.

He seemed to be telling her not to worry, but she could actually feel the weight behind his words.

She herself shattered the feigned relaxed atmosphere in the air.

She turned her head to look out the window, where a ray of sunlight pierced through the clouds, gradually bathing the city eroded by decay.

She seemed to see her own future.

"Chen Feng".

Mei suddenly spoke, and Chen Feng couldn't help but turn his head to look.

"Kevin said something to me before he left that day."

Upon hearing this, Chen Feng raised an eyebrow slightly. "What? That ice block actually has the leisure to talk to you? I thought his language system had long since deteriorated."

Mei didn't laugh; she continued.

"I...he made me join the World Serpent."

Chen Feng hadn't expected Mei to be so honest.

He thought Mei would leave without saying goodbye and quietly depart, but he never expected her to say such things in front of him.

Does she want me to make the decision for her?

If I tell her not to go, and she really doesn't go, will Mei and I regret our decision today in the future?

But if I'm here and let Mei go, it seems like I'm not taking myself seriously enough.

After all, they've already come this far, and their trajectory has already been skewed. Going back would be no different from what they originally were.

This matter gave Chen Feng a slight headache.

Mei sat there, and Chen Feng looked into her eyes. He could see the clarity in her gaze.

She had already made up her mind in her heart.

"I declined Kevin's invitation."

Mei's voice was very soft, as if she were talking about something insignificant.

"But I can't refuse myself."

Chen Feng didn't say anything; he just listened quietly.

Mei doesn't need me to make decisions for her; she just wants to know why she's doing everything.

Perhaps, it's also a desire to gain self-approval.

Mei could no longer bear to watch Chen Feng burn out his life before her eyes.

She would rather dye herself black and dirty than not become the blade that can sever destiny.

"Go to World Serpent... Actually, you shouldn't have told me. If you had left quietly on your own, things might have been better off."

A bitter smile appeared on Mei's lips, and her fists clenched slightly.

"If I leave, you'll know exactly what I'm going to do. You seem to know everything, and you don't seem surprised by any decision we make."

If it were Kiana, I might... no, I would definitely keep it from her, even let her hate me, but I can't do that to you, because I know that no matter what I do, you'll look at me with those eyes, knowing all my inner thoughts.

Mei looked up. "I know that might be an abyss, but it's an abyss that can make me stronger."

Right now, all I can do is cry and be afraid; there's nothing else I can do. I've had enough of this feeling of powerlessness.

She stood up, took a step forward, and moved closer to the hospital bed, her voice trembling with a hint of pleading.

"You always say you'll believe in us, but if we don't even have the right to stand by your side, what's the point of that belief?"

Chen Feng was a little tired.

No matter how you try to change their fate, they will always end up on the same path.

The only difference is the reason.

What if one day I find myself on the opposite side of you?

Mei's breath hitched.

She had thought about this question countless times; the answer had always been in her heart, but she had never dared to say it aloud.

"Then...then I'll end everything between us myself."

This wasn't a love confession; it was the cruelest farewell for Mei.

Chen Feng suddenly laughed.

However, the smile on his face carried a deep weariness.

"You're really bold, Mei."

He reached out and gently grasped Mei's cold hand.

The moment her hand was grasped, Mei felt the intense heat emanating from the other person, just like the passionate and burning emotions she felt for him.

Chen Feng did not answer immediately.

He lowered his eyes. He wanted to say "Stay," he wanted to say "I can protect you," but he knew he couldn't say those words.

Because she is not someone who needs to be protected; she is someone who stands shoulder to shoulder with him.

He remained silent for a long time, so long that Mei's expression changed from pleading to waiting, and then from waiting to a hint of unease.

"Then go ahead, but you have to promise me one thing."

"...What?"

"Don't die."

Chen Feng smiled as he looked at the other person's reddened eyes. "Don't die, and don't become someone I don't recognize. If one day you find that becoming stronger requires you to become a monster, then stop. I don't need you to become a monster for me."

I will be here waiting for you to come back. I will witness with my own eyes how you save me in your own way.

Mei finally couldn't hold back her tears and they fell onto Chen Feng's hand, burning hot.

"You must promise me you won't die."

I will try my best.

These three words were the only promise Chen Feng could give, and the only piece of driftwood Mei could grasp at this moment.

Mei took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing her tears.

She knew that from this moment on, she was no longer the little girl who needed to hide behind Chen Feng.

Even if the road ahead is a bottomless abyss, she will jump down, just to reach that height where they can stand side by side.

Mei opened her mouth, her voice trembling.

"I don't know when we'll meet again, so before we do, please allow me to do one last outrageous thing."

Mei slowly bent down, her rosy lips gently touching Chen Feng's forehead.

His forehead was burning hot, and the heat made her heart ache.

Mei is gone.

After making this outrageous move, he left.

She didn't look back; she was afraid that if she did, she wouldn't want to leave anymore.

After Mei left, the room became quiet.

After a long while, Chen Feng finally let out a weary sigh.

Despite working herself to the bone, Mei still ended up on this path.

But at least they both knew exactly what the other wanted to do for them.

"It seems I haven't been working hard enough, otherwise I wouldn't be in this situation."

Chen Feng stretched out his hand and clenched his fist. He looked at his fist and pondered for a long time.

After a moment, he lowered his fist, as if he had figured something out.

Outside the door, Mei leaned against the wall, looking up at the ceiling, tears silently streaming down her face.

She knew that from this day forward, everything would be different.

But no matter what, she will not regret it.

Because she wants to become stronger.

Strong enough to stand beside him, strong enough to protect everything he cherishes.

Even if that path is destined to be full of thorns.
