Chapter 27: Sugar, Go Home with Me (2/2)

Sugar felt content when Shen Cheng patted her head. She felt reassured when she awoke to see him beside her, and experienced a strong sense of dependence when she held Shen Cheng’s hand tightly.

Someone…

“I don’t want to…” came her raspy self-talk. She could accept any punishment from the organization, but she absolutely could not bear to have her memories, especially those of Shen Cheng, erased.

The memories involving Shen Cheng were the salvation she had long awaited.

“Absolutely not…” Her running gradually slowed, and she stood in the rain, looking up at the night sky. Tears mixed with raindrops continuously streamed down her cheeks.

Her expression became increasingly bewildered.

If she didn’t return to the organization, where would she go?

Should she return to Light Spot Cat café? If she confessed everything, would Shen Cheng accept her?

Shaking her head, Sugar dragged her heavy steps limply to the corner of the street on one side.

Even if Shen Cheng kept her by his side, what would it matter? Her presence could bring trouble to Shen Cheng.

Leaning against the wall and sitting down, Sugar buried her face into her knees, ignoring the pouring rain.

She was grateful to have met Shen Cheng, yet she regretted meeting him under such circumstances.

At that moment, she really envied Cheese, who could live beside Shen Cheng without worries, staying with him like family.

—No matter what happens, no matter how the future unfolds, I will stay with you, never to part…

Shen Cheng had said those words not long ago, echoing in her ears, but now they brought only endless pain to Sugar.

—In that case, let the new cycle of wandering begin, before the organization captures me again.

“Swoosh—”

As Sugar thought this, the sound of an umbrella opening erupted beside her, instantly shielding her from the rain. The raindrops pattered against the umbrella’s cover.

Slightly stunned, Sugar raised her head to see the umbrella-holder’s figure, breathing heavily, thin clothing entirely soaked through under the rain. She trembled violently, her voice breaking into a hoarse sob, “Someone…”

After taking a moment to catch his breath, Shen Cheng revealed a relieved smile: “Sugar, I finally found you!”

Sugar, panicking, instinctively wanted to shrink back, but the wall was already behind her. She could only shake her head frantically: “I’m not Sugar, I’m Number Thirteen, I am…” “No, you are Sugar, you’re my family, not a cold number.” Extending his right hand to Sugar, Shen Cheng smiled gently and said, “Come on, Sugar, go home with me.”

“I… I have no home. I belong to another demi-human organization…” Sugar’s emerald eyes welled with tears once more.

“That’s Number Thirteen, and you are Sugar. Your home is the Light Spot Cat café.” Shen Cheng resolutely held out his hand, looking at Sugar, who was struggling to hold back tears, and said again, “Go home.”

“My mission is to kill you…”

“But just now, you didn’t strike.”

Shen Cheng’s straightforward answer left Sugar dumbfounded, “You knew…”

“Mm, I’ve been awake the whole time.”

“Then why did you…”

“Because I believe you will not harm me. You are my family.” Shen Cheng undauntedly interrupted Sugar once more, maintaining eye contact with her, “Let’s go home.”

“But my presence will cause you trouble…” Tears streamed uncontrollably, and Sugar said between sobs.

“If you disappear like this, then I will turn the tables and trouble them.” Shen Cheng declared resolutely, “I’ve never feared any trouble, what I fear is the sudden disappearance of those around me! Sugar, trust me, go home with me, alright?”
