Even until Death, the Scum Gong thought I was a White LotusCh30 - Reading that diary

The man held his hand out stiffly, his fingers moving slightly.

No, it couldn’t be… CdkXvz

How did it come to this…

In order to save Xiao Mu, he had made up a lie. But it had become his reason to leave…

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

Bo Qin’s body shook. “Xiao, Xiao Mu…”

The man shouted, but the youth who once laughed and turned around at the sound of his voice never responded again. JgVSdp

His little bird had flown…

Hurt, it hurt…

Bo Qin’s lips trembled, his hand pressed against his heart.

Finally, the knife completely stabbed into his heart.

1xtRsG

The pain intensified.

—That dream was really scary. If it had been true, I’d probably die, ba.

The man trembled, his eyes blood red as his voice shook. “Turns out this dream was because I…”

“Because I…” YULVle

No, no, my darling already died, no… “

Tan Tao’s hand was covered in blood as he gripped the fence. His eyes were no longer crazy, but his expression could not accept the chaos of reality.

The doctor had clearly said that his personality had been obliterated and would never appear again…

The one who loved him, the one he loved, the darling who smiled softly at him and sweetly leaned into his embrace had died… Lq1EHG

—”Will you remember me?” On the merry-go-round, the young man looked up and turned around to look at him, his eyes full of love.

On the roof, Xie Mu’s face was pale, his eyes fixedly looking at him.

The two people gradually coincided with each other.

If his darling had not died, then who was the person who just jumped… SBK7A0

The man with bloodshot eyes sank to the ground, rising before sinking to the ground again.

What, what had he done…

What had he done…

*** Qa7z9j

[Ding! Bo Qin’s favorability: 100. The task is completed, please choose to disengage from the world.] 

“Disengage? Why disengage?”  Xie Mu stood in front of the two men, looking at their pitiful appearances. He raised his eyebrows and chuckled, “Didn’t we promise them that they would experience the pain I felt in those ten years?”

The system froze for a moment. [It’s a waste of time. Time doesn’t wait for people, host. Also…]

It looked at the mental state of the two people standing on the opposite side. [They’re already crazy. Even if we don’t do anything, they will kill each other in hatred.]  0AOmPa

“Is that enough?”

Xie Mu turned around and held the ball floating next to him. He pinched it and smiled. “Didn’t you hate them before?”

[But time…]

“Okay okay, how about this. Once number one and two have discovered the things I’ve left behind, we can go. Okay?”  qn 8XW

The ball jumped up and down. [Okay.]

“Okay, display it from the puppet.”

System: [You’re not going yourself?]

Xie Mu patted the little round ball and giggled, “What’s so interesting about acting out a person lying in bed? Let’s go watch.” gUtbSi

The man went crazy, carefully sitting next to an unconscious Xie Mu, crying and laughing.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

The youth was soon transferred to the best hospital.

But even though the doctor was very skilled, he just barely saved his life. The wheels of karma came back. Xie Mu was once again in a vegetative state. bRy0Sn

He could breathe and swallow food, but there was almost no possibility of waking up.

Everyone in the hospital said it was a miracle, an unfortunate miracle.

Xie Mu had once been discharged as a miracle after lying in a hospital bed for less than a year.

Bo Qin guarded over his lover and carefully took care of him. He helped him wipe his body so that he wouldn’t become too uncomfortable from lying there for too long. 1VcjKd

He became the person he once thought he would never become.

Every day, he woke up early and immediately went into the kitchen he would never have entered before to carefully boil soup in accordance with the recipe. Bo Qin had never really cooked since he was a child. At first, he was very clumsy; fortunately, he was smart and successfully figured it out.

The handsome man’s fingers were red from carrying the hot soup. He even had a blister from his efforts but didn’t seem to feel any pain. He carefully, patiently fed Xie Mu and helped him wipe his body. Bo Qin would sit by the bed, holding a book Xie Mu once loved to read and read it to him word by word.

Company and family—he didn’t want to care about those anymore. zO2jgs

He only wanted to be with his lover.

“When I made the soup today, I put in less salt so it’s a little bland. I hope you don’t dislike it. I feel like the hospital staff never does it carefully…”

“There are more and more gardenias blooming. I picked a lot, smell it…”

The man smiled gently and picked out the most beautiful flower to place under Xie Mu’s nose. XHO29y

“I used to hate this flower because the smell was too strong. I never let you pick any. But every time you saw a gardenia afterward, you couldn’t stop yourself from moving forward. You were so happy that day you placed a vase of gardenias. It was originally placed in the bedroom, but because you were afraid I wouldn’t like it, you hid it in the living room.”  Bo Qin spoke in a hoarse voice. The youth’s eyes remained closed, motionless.

“You said, gardenias are white and clean.” 

“You wondered why I didn’t like such a clean flower…”

The man’s hand trembled as it fell on Xie Mu’s cold, pale cheek. “In fact, you’re the cleanest…” Y5eUIO

“Lying like this must be very uncomfortable. Even after three months, you’re still like this?” 

“A person lying here with no one to talk to, no one to take care of you, your body’s soreness, pain, no way to solve it…”

Warm tears fell on the young, pale fingers. Bo Qin bowed his head, his voice hoarse.

Xiao Mu, wake up…” LgD30r

“I can become what you like. I’ll be clean, as long as you’re willing, okay…”

He sat stiffly for a long time, his scalded hands burning in pain.

But Xie Mu never replied.

Bo Qin’s heart seemed to ache to the point of numbness. He held out his hand carefully, gently massaging the young man’s arm and pressing it, when he suddenly had a thought. dldzCF

Before, when Xiao Mu had cooked dinner and waited fruitlessly for him to come back all night—was it this kind of feeling?

Empty, painful.

It was like waiting for a promise that would never happen.

These days, in addition to cooking, Bo Qin spent his time talking to Xie Mu. Even though there was no response, his voice was gone from talking. hlaSXW

It was as if he was punishing himself. It took him only seven days to become completely haggard.

In the evenings, the young man lay quietly while the man reached out and took the diary on the table into his hands.

He would hang his head and stroke it carefully, but not daring to open it.

Xiao Mu had said that there was something inside he didn’t want others to see. W7ZpYR

He had looked, so Xiao Mu was angry.

As long as he obediently did not look, maybe Xiao Mu would be happy and wake up…

Holding onto a hope that even children wouldn’t hold onto, Bo Qin waited day by day.

The more he waited, the deeper he fell into a trance. cG3 uf

He kept recalling how the youth had been in the past.

His smiling look, his sad look, his actions while busy in the kitchen, watering flowers on the balcony, cooking a meal, smiling and calling to him, “Bo Qin, come to dinner.”

Xie Mu was brought home to recuperate. The man cooked and watered the flowers. Every day, he brought in a freshly picked gardenia into the living room.

He would take the dish, go to Xie Mu’s side, and smile as he said, “Xiao Mu, come eat.”  VZdKqR

Then, looking at the youth with closed eyes, his tears would fall.

***

Tan Tao came with people on the 20th day.

His body was dead, his face pale. He coughed every few steps, but when he saw the young man lying on the bed, a scary light burst in his eyes. xQOg46

“Darling, my darling…”

The limping man cast his crutches aside, his eyes crazy as he rushed up. When he drew near, he became timid once again.

Tan Tao carefully reached out his hand and placed the youth’s soft, cold hand in the palm of his hand.

”Darling…“ he said softly, “I came to pick you up. Don’t be afraid.” RUMlj

Tan Tao cried and smiled. He leaned down and almost piously placed his face against the cold hand.

He kissed the weak and delicate fingertips. Tears fell on each kiss, bitter and astringent.

“Let go!!” 

Looking nothing like the Tan Tao he once was, the beaten man looked at the scene with bloodshot eyes. ds5hAR

“Tan Tao, get out of here!” 

“You’re the one who should leave!!”

The man’s hand was still gently holding Xie Mu’s cold hand. As he listened to this, his face broke out into an expression of hostility for a moment .

He turned to Bo Qin with hatred. “Did you think I wouldn’t know!!”  gR6uKE

“It’s you who forced him!”

“You lied to him, you misguided him, and you lost him!”

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

“If it weren’t for you, he would have continued to love me and live a good life with me. Even if I died, I wouldn’t have lost him. I would’ve protected, protected my baby…“

Tan Tao’s voice and entire body were shaking. “You lied so much to him for such a long time! You let him suffer for so long, finally…he was happy and was destroyed again by you!”  cBquQ9

“It’s you!”

He took one of his crutches. Disregarding the pain in his leg, he used it to knock Bo Qin to the ground.

“You lost him again and again. He’s like this now because of you!” 

”I shouldn’t have been so soft-hearted in the beginning. I should’ve just grabbed him back…” Tan Tao’s red eyes stared at Bo Qin. “I thought he wouldn’t be able to think it through, so I let him go…“ IjumS

“What about you? When you woke up and saw his body covered in wounds, you thought it was because of me.” 

The man on the ground suddenly froze incredulously. He could barely lift up his head.

“What…did you say!” 

“Xie Mu had been yours since the beginning.” Fn7tXl

“Bo Qin, you claim to like cleanliness, but you are the least clean!!!”

“What qualifications do you have, and what face do you have to say that Xiao Mu is yours?”

Tan Tao was crazy. As he spoke, pinning Bo Qin down with his crutches, he didn’t seem to have any scruples within his voice.

It should have been very painful, but the man seemed to not feel anything. ptRdwL

That day, the young man had been soaked in the rain, trembling from the cold as he knocked on the door, wanting to hide in his arms.

But he had said ‘you’re dirty.’

“I am…a monster…”

The man lay on the ground with a mouthful of blood. The corners of his mouth slowly pulled up into a smile. “In the end…I really am a monster…” twniXf

The scent of gardenias wafted throughout the room, and Bo Qin, like a dead dog, fell in his own blood.

—”Xiao Mu, I love you, I will never leave you.”

“Forever?”

“Forever.” uPWy1h

Tan Tao cast aside his crutch and sneered at the man on the ground. From the corner of his eyes, he suddenly noticed the diary on the table.

Something crossed in his heart, and he limped over and brutally forced the notebook open.

Like he was looking for something, Tan Tao kept turning. In the end, he stopped on the last few pages.

[Recently, I’ve been having the same dream. In this dream, I’m sitting happily with Tan Tao on a carousel. Tan Tao is laughing joyfully. In my dream, I look at him and my heart is warm. I think, if I can live the rest of my life like this, I will be satisfied. This isn’t normal. I want to tell Bo Qin, but if it turns out to be real, I don’t know what I’ll do.] Gd61Jx

[The same dream again today. I feel very strange, as if there is a stranger living in my body that passes me information every day. Even the disgust I have towards Tan Tao seems to be lessening.]

[He wants to find Tan Tao, he is afraid of Bo Qin, afraid of everything here. I always feel like he will wake up in a few days. I really am afraid. Recently, Bo Qin has become busier and busier. Should I confide in him?]

[Bo Qin is very busy, I want to help him, but he refused to tell me what happened. My spirit is getting worse and worse. I’m afraid I will leave Bo Qin. That person wants to come out, but as long as Bo Qin comes back, he will be too afraid to come out. I’m beginning to feel that this is not just my imagination.]

The records stopped there. B0Tm1J

It was the day before Xie Mu had been taken away from him.

Tan Tao’s hand trembled as he held the diary. A headache seemed to explode out of him in the next moment.

His darling…had not died…

He had been very afraid, he had wanted to return to his side…and was about to succeed… T56CSh

But in the end, he had killed his darling.

He had killed him.

Twice.

“Let’s go.”  Xie Mu held the ball and his eyes no longer looked at the two people. 3Ovaxw

The system felt like it hadn’t gotten enough. [Host, you’re not continuing?] 

“Watching dogs bite each other is fun, but two mad dogs aren’t very interesting. Set a timer for the puppet and let it die ten years later.”

Please support our translators at chrysanthemumgarden (dot) com

Xie Mu petted it. “These ten years of hell are revenge for him.”

*** jW8VYt

[Ding! A new world has been jumped to. Host, please view the memory.] 

The pale man opened his eyes and looked down at his body.

His body was numb, without a single hint of feeling. He raised his eyebrows.

The strategist’s uncle? jd84Tt

There was naturally an advantage to that.

    • I was overwhelmed. No words can describe how satisfied I am while reading the 1st arc. This is the first novel that is completely align with my way of thoughts. The storyline that I always wanted to find and read. Thank you so much for translating this really♡(> ਊ <)♡

  1. What a satisfying ending for this arc. The mental torture would’ve been excruciating for both of them~ thank you for the chapter!

  2. Well , pain and regret

    Although it might chases them for a life entire, but there defense mechanism will force them to forget

    It will heal with time, life in fact is the alternation of hurting and getting hurt , and trust can’t be given easily nor love can be a reason for self destruction

    So before you love , love yourself first

  3. Ten Years of Hell are awaiting for them. Or even more, if they’re going to live on.

    Thanks for the chapter!

  4. Muahaha suffer😁 Scum gongs deserve to die! My heart softened a tiny bit but I remembered what they did to Xie Mu and I forgot any remorse I had for them at all pei

  5. I feel like my head is being pushed in and out of dog blood as I desperately gasp for air. Thank you for the chapter.

  6. This was really filled with dog blood and I have to admit it’s my favorite guilty pleasure the face-slapping and counterattacks (especially if it’s well put out) unlocks various emotions from my heart lmao

  7. I was crying the whole time and now I’m laughing because this arc is so twisted and made me feel emotions that I can’t comprehend (ب_ب)

  8. i know i know that these bloody scum gongs are the worst and they deserve it but my god my heart it feels weird like i don’t know how to explain it. but still they got what they deserve anywayss thanks for the chapter even though im late HAHAHAHHAHQ onto the next arc here i go!!!

    love from the philippines

  9. Ho? Actually this is way better than just ripping their ds off and stabbing them, let them suffer, 10 years of pain and after those ten years even more pain heh

  10. This dog blood story… I fuckin cried.. Not from pity to those a**hole, but from that face-slapping AHAHAHHAA🥲

  11. Ah such a satisfying revenge. I bet the two of them never felt this bad after the og’s death and now they’re gonna suffer in limbo for the next ten years at least!

    • Nope the original host is dead and i guess he made a deal with the systems or the main god something just chose him but the mc is now a worker for the system and his job is to punish scum gongs. The original host is dead and he was hired to whip bo win and tan tao cause they’re one tough cookie

  12. Its how to capture that scum gong all over again. I dont even understand myself why I like these type of dog blood, I shouldn’t be a masochist

  13. Is it just me who thinks that tan tao is quite pitiful.He frequently visited the mc when he was in a coma like I feel like he was in love with the mc since they were in school. He just used to bully him a little and the time he tried to force himself on mc, he was intoxicated and he even regretted it. And the time he “rped” mc, he actually didn’t. He just put hickies on his body because he was jealous and angry that the mc saw him as a monster which couldn’t even touch him. But I an NOT saying that the mc should have accepted him. He dosen’t deserve to be with mc just because he wants to and should also get a few punches but not get his life ruined. Now he’s physically and emotionally damaged plus he has no money . The 1st ml was the ashole here. But at the end of the day mc wasted 10 years of his life because he got into an accident and they weren’t the ones driving the car. I am not defending the 1st ml. I’d like to add one more thing remember how tan toa used to force himself to eat and drink things he didn’t like and which made him very sad just for mc to stay with him.
  14. Действительно, очень сложная арка… Я реально плакала
