I don't care what kind of bullsh * t theory you're talking about. This is fake news because there's nothing wrong with my mind. You know this very well, "Xu Qian said angrily.
Qiu Ming wasn't angry when he heard this. Instead, he peeled the apple in his hand and handed it to Xu Qian. He then said softly, "You seem to be very obsessed with distinguishing between the real and the fake. Perhaps this is why we ended up like this. I had already prepared aromatherapy, wine, and the bed was covered with rose petals. If you hadn't turned around and ran away when I took out the proposal ring in the restaurant, leaving me alone like a fool and saying 'I do', we would have had a very pleasant and unforgettable night."
After Qiu Ming finished speaking, the answer was a loud slap.
Xu Qian didn't pick up the apple. Instead, she slapped Qiu Ming in the face.
She couldn't control her anger anymore when she heard about a pleasant and unforgettable night. However, after the slap, Xu Qian couldn't help but feel a little scared. She shrank back a little.
Fortunately, Qiu Ming didn't turn hostile because of this slap. He still held the apple in his hand and waited quietly.
Half a minute later, Xu Qian couldn't stand the increasing pressure and reached out to catch the apple.
However, Qiu Ming didn't let go of the apple immediately. Instead, he stretched out his other hand holding the knife. After a flash of cold light, the apple was cut into two pieces. Qiu Ming then retracted his hand. At the same time, he didn't forget to urge Xu Qian, whose face was pale with fright. "Eat it. This apple is quite sweet."
Xu Qian wasn't in the mood to eat the apple at all. She immediately checked the hand that she had just used to take the apple. Only when she didn't see any wound did she breathe a sigh of relief.
"Are you afraid of me?" Qiu Ming asked. "Actually, you don't have to worry. People are emotional animals. We've been dating for so long that I even know when your period is. If there's one person in this world who cares about you, it's me. So eat it. I'm afraid you won't be able to eat such a delicious apple in the future."
Qiu Ming took a bite of the apple in his hand as he spoke, indicating that it was not poisoned.
"What are you going to do with me?" Xu Qian's teeth were chattering when she asked this question.
"Well, what's the point of knowing the answer? You can't change anything." Qiu Ming spread his hands.
"Will you kill me?" Xu Qian said, "It is said that older clones can no longer produce enough value, and they will be euthanized somewhere."
"As expected, you already know your identity." Qiu Ming smiled and said, "No, that won't happen. You're still very young and beautiful. It would be a waste if you died just like that. We won't waste our resources."
"Then what do you want to do with me? I'm a public figure. You can't just rewrite my memory and throw me out again. I'll be recognized by my fans."
"Of course not here, but in other places where no one knows you, you can still start a new life there. Of course, it won't be as glorious as it is now."
"A place where no one knows me? What do you mean?" Xu Qian was puzzled.
However, Qiu Ming had no intention of explaining further. He finished the apple in his hand and clapped his hands. "We've talked a lot. Usually, things are much simpler. You accept the engagement ring, announce your retirement, and focus on taking care of your husband and children. After that, we'll enjoy a good night together, and your memory will stay here. Of course, this won't last long. In the end, you'll completely forget this part of your life.
"Speaking of which, you're the only one who can chat with me before I leave," Qiu Ming said. "How is it? I treat you well, right?"
"What if I insist on not releasing the retirement video?" Xu Qian gritted her teeth.
"You won't do that." Qiu Ming shook his head. "You know that you have no chance of winning if you continue to fight. It's only a matter of time before you give in. Besides, even without the retirement video, with the previous news and video, you can almost control this matter to an acceptable range. You're too hostile to me. In fact, compared to an enemy, you should treat me more as a friend who's here to help you."
"Have you ever seen a friend who would lie to me by marrying into a rich family, erase my memory, and sell me to an unknown place?" Xu Qian was infuriated by Qiu Ming's shamelessness.
"Maybe you should look at this from a different perspective. You're a streamer, so you should know very well that no streamer can be popular forever, so this kind of thing will happen sooner or later. My existence is to make this process more humane. Look at your life. You started from scratch as a greeter in a small restaurant on the first floor. You defeated your competitors and were signed by an entertainment company. After that, you relied on your own efforts to get to where you are today. You became a little famous, and finally, you achieved your life goal by marrying a handsome and rich man. Isn't it perfect? You can also complete your curtain call in front of the envious eyes of others.
"Of course, we can also be tougher. For example, right now, everyone thinks that you can no longer work in this line of work because of your unstable mental condition. And you yourself are terrified and helpless. Look at you. From the moment you opened your eyes until now, you're like a fledgling blown out of its nest by a strong wind. You're shivering. It's better to not know anything than to be happy."
Qiu Ming seemed to have reached the climax of his speech. In addition, he knew that Xu Qian's memory would soon be rewritten, so he simply let go of the conversation. "Besides, I told you that even if you choose to dig like this, you'll never find the truth. Even if you think you've grasped the truth now, what you really get is just a narrative that you believe in."
"Then what is the truth?" Xu Qian asked. "Be straightforward. Tell me, and I'll take the exit video as you say."
"To be honest, I don't know either. I can only see the side that I'm willing to believe," Qiu Ming said sincerely.
"Aren't you curious at all? Aren't you worried that what happened to me will happen to you one day?" Xu Qian asked, still unwilling to give up.
"This is the difference between you and me. I'm not obsessed with the truth," Qiu Ming smiled. "Because the truth is painful and can never be achieved. Instead of constantly searching for the person holding the thread above your head, it's better to perform well and enjoy your current life. This is my last advice to you before you leave."
