Chapter 479 Tang 3: Brother Jie, don't!
"Brother Jie!"
Tang San's voice suddenly rose, carrying an almost pleading urgency as he tried to grasp at the last glimmer of hope.
"We're best brothers! The best of brothers! I know you've been better to me than anyone else! This kindness, this friendship, I, Tang San, will remember for the rest of my life, and will never forget!"
He spoke at breakneck speed, as if he would be overtaken by the terrible reality if he slowed down even a little.
"But...this isn't right! We're best brothers! Between us...it's impossible! Brother Jie, wake up! This must be an illusion, a test!"
His words were urgent and flustered.
His eyes were filled with pleading and struggle.
Ren Jie watched Tang San's near-collapse reaction, and his heart felt as if it were being gripped by an icy hand, sending a sharp, stabbing pain through him.
It was a pain that was expected.
But having chosen to be honest, he never thought of turning back.
He stared intently at Tang San, as if trying to remember this face etched into his soul, along with the pain he felt at that moment, forever.
"Mistress, I know how society views us, but the moment I saw you, I knew you were the one I was looking for in my life, regardless of gender or status, you are my one and only."
There were no flowery words, no exaggerated expressions.
Ren Jie simply stated his feelings, which had been buried deep in his heart for many years, in a tone that was almost like stating a fact.
Tang San was completely stunned.
An indescribable sour feeling suddenly welled up in Tang San's nose, and his eyes instantly burned.
He looked into Ren Jie's eyes and saw an intense, unwavering love and composure, pure and sincere without any impurities.
This feeling is so profound, so pure.
He understood that this "question of love" was about asking about one's true feelings, and it was also about crossing over with true feelings.
Brother Jie's sincerity, like the most dazzling star, is laid bare and unreserved under this silver light.
This sincerity itself has the power to move people's hearts.
Tang San's lips moved silently a few times, and finally, all his struggles turned into a long sigh.
"Brother Jie... I, Tang San... accept your kindness. In this life and the next, you will always be my most trusted partner. This friendship is witnessed by heaven and earth and will never change!"
He took a deep breath, gently shook his head, and said, "But I cannot reciprocate your boundless affection. If there is an afterlife, I, Tang San, will surely be your wife! To repay you for this...deep and profound love in this life!"
He spoke the last few words with great difficulty, yet with resounding force.
This is not a perfunctory statement, nor is it an evasion; it is a vow of paramount importance.
In this life, he carries his memories and still wants to find Xiao Wu, so he has no choice but to refuse.
If there is an afterlife, he would be willing!
"Fine! Mistress, I'm satisfied with what you said!"
Upon hearing this, Ren Jie was not disappointed at all; instead, he looked relieved.
Just as this profound and sincere emotion between the two reached its climax—
hum!
Platform Center.
The gold and silver colors intertwined again, like two giant dragons of light that came to life, soaring into the air and swirling wildly around the center of the platform.
That ethereal voice, carrying an unprecedented solemnity and joy, resounded throughout heaven and earth:
"Having passed the test of love, your true intentions are clear! Your sincerity shines as bright as the sun and moon, and your affection moves heaven and earth! You have passed!"
Before the words were finished, the swirling golden and silver light suddenly separated.
As if drawn by an invisible hand, the golden light transformed into a warm and sacred pillar of light, precisely enveloping Tang San, who had just made a solemn vow!
"Brother Jie!"
Tang San only had time to utter a surprised cry before his body was completely enveloped by the warm golden light.
The golden light grew brighter and brighter, completely engulfing Tang San's figure.
All that could be seen was a blurry human silhouette, slightly curled up and stretched in the light.
The process seemed both very long and as short as a blink of an eye.
Finally, the dazzling golden light receded and dissipated as quickly as the tide receded.
In the center of the platform, where Tang San had originally stood, a figure stood quietly.
Ren Jie's breathing stopped instantly.
That wasn't the Tang San he knew.
The golden light completely dissipated, revealing a delicate figure.
She seemed to have lost some height, and the clothes that used to fit her well now looked rather loose and baggy, barely hanging on her body.
Her neat short black hair was gone, replaced by long, smooth hair that swayed gently in the breeze.
The once angular features of his face have become soft and delicate, like the most perfect jade carving.
Her fair and delicate skin seemed to glow with a luminous sheen under the soft light of the platform.
Those dark eyes were still as clear as ever, but now, because of shock and bewilderment, they appeared larger and rounder, shimmering with moisture.
Her long eyelashes trembled uneasily like butterfly wings, clearly reflecting Ren Jie's equally astonished and bewildered face.
Beneath her small, pert nose, her pale pink lips parted slightly in surprise.
Although Tang San's features could still be vaguely discerned in her face, her overall demeanor and physique had completely transformed into that of an exceptionally beautiful young woman!
The oversized men's clothing she wore only accentuated her fragility and fear.
"I...I'm..."
A clear, crisp female voice came from the petite figure, accompanied by an expression of disbelief.
"My voice? My body? Brother Jie... I... what happened to me?"
She subconsciously looked down at her body, then raised her now slender, fair hand to touch her cheek and long hair, her eyes filled with utter bewilderment.
Ren Jie's mind went blank; all his thoughts froze.
He guessed that the "reward" might be related to Tang San, but he never expected it to be such a complete change!
The scene before him was completely beyond his comprehension.
Tang San, the good brother who once sweated alongside him, now appeared before him as a beautiful young girl.
The intense visual and psychological shock left him speechless. He could only stare intently at the figure, his heart pounding wildly in his chest, almost as if it would burst out of his chest.
The golden and silver light on the platform gradually subsided, and the vortex slowly disappeared.
That ethereal voice, carrying a sense of having accomplished its mission, left behind its last words before vanishing without a trace:
Love has changed, fate is in our own hands. I hope you all... take care.
The entire platform returned to its original state, as if the thrilling "question of love" and the miraculous transformation had never happened.
Only the two people standing opposite each other on the platform remained.
A handsome young man who appears completely petrified, and a bewildered black-haired girl.
The air seemed to freeze.
Tang San remained standing there, staring blankly at his hands, which were noticeably smaller than before. He then touched his smooth cheeks and long, flowing hair, each touch bringing a strange, electric shock-like sensation.
She tried to speak, and each time the clear and melodious female voice rang out, her body involuntarily trembled slightly, her face drained of color, leaving only immense panic and helplessness.
Ren Jie was stung by that helpless look in his eyes and finally managed to pull himself back to his senses from the extreme shock.
He took heavy steps, slowly and deliberately walking towards that familiar yet unfamiliar figure.
Every step felt like crossing an invisible chasm.
He stopped in front of her, very close.
He could clearly see the fine downy hairs on her pale face, her eyelashes trembling violently with fear, and smell the faint fragrance emanating from her body.
The large robe hung loosely on her slender shoulders, making her look even more helpless.
"The mistress..."
Ren Jie spoke tentatively, his voice dry and hoarse.
The way this name was uttered at this moment carried an unprecedented sense of strangeness.
Upon hearing this familiar address, Tang San's body trembled again, his bewilderment deepening before turning into intense embarrassment.
Seeing her so vulnerable, the initial shock that had created a distance between them was instantly replaced by heartache.
No matter how his appearance changes, his soul and his eyes are still the Tang San he knows!
The person he was willing to protect with his life!
All hesitation and embarrassment were left behind at this moment.
Without further hesitation, Ren Jie suddenly opened his arms and tightly embraced the slender and petite body in front of him.
"Don't be afraid..."
Ren Jie's voice was filled with endless tenderness.
"It's me, Brother Jie. No matter what happens, I'm here. Don't be afraid, Xiao San... I'm here."
He repeated it over and over, trying to soothe the turbulent emotions of the person in his arms.
