Chapter 1309: The Mermaid Princess (8)

He wondered if she had suffered terribly when she died of thirst.

Why had he been so cruel to her?

He regretted it so much.

He had thought he would never have a chance to make up for what he had done, but heaven had unexpectedly given him another chance.

When he woke up and found himself lying on the beach, looking down at his youthful hands, he had wept tears of joy.

He had returned.

In this life, he would never hurt her again. He would make up for everything, cherish her, and protect his little mermaid.

But something was different.

Fuya had been by his side, chattering away happily, telling him that she had rescued him from the sea.

No.

He wouldn't believe her.

Fuya was the true liar among mermaids.

She was the deceitful and malicious one.

If she hadn't told him about A Guoguo's weakness, would he have ever dared to kill a mermaid blessed with divine power?

It was Fuya who had led him onto that path.

The moment she appeared, all his joy vanished. He ignored her passionate gaze and obvious affection, turned around, and walked away with a cold face.

No matter how Fuya called after him, he never looked back.

In this life, he wanted nothing to do with her.

Everything had yet to begin.

He would wait for his little mermaid.

Wait for the day she would say—

“Hey, aren't you the person I rescued and brought ashore?”

“You go to this school too?”

“What a coincidence.”

“What's your name? My name is A Guoguo. I'm the one who fished you out of the sea. Do you remember? Probably not. You were unconscious at the time.”

Why hadn't he believed her back then?

She hadn't looked like she was lying at all.

Every day, Qiao Chen came to the seaside, hoping to meet her.

Several months passed, and she still hadn't appeared.

In the end, he could only wait for the day she entered the school.

Fuya was really too clingy.

But after waiting and waiting, even when the time should have come, his little mermaid still hadn't appeared.

Had something happened?

Eventually, Qiao Chen reluctantly allowed Fuya into his social circle, hoping to extract some information about A Guoguo from her.

Unfortunately, Fuya never mentioned life among the merfolk.

Just like in their previous life, she only expressed her love for him every day.

Naturally, Tang Guo knew nothing about any of this.

More than half a year had passed since she arrived in this world, and she finally decided to visit the school to see how Fuya and Qiao Chen were getting along.

More importantly, she wanted to determine whether Qiao Chen had been possessed by a transmigrator or had actually been reborn.

If he had been reborn, then she intended to let him and Fuya love and kill each other.

She wouldn't forgive a fish murderer.

System asked curiously, “Host, if Qiao Chen really was reborn, do you think he'll kill Fuya to prove himself to you?”

“What do you mean, kill her to prove himself to me? What does that have to do with me?”

“No, Host. Half of the stupid things he did in his previous life were because of Fuya. He should hate her. There's a real possibility he might kill her.”

“So what if he does?”

“So… Host, you're not planning to interfere?”

“Interfere with what? Let them love and kill each other.” Tang Guo let out a mocking laugh. “Neither of them is any good. They're both fish murderers. In this life, the one who saved Qiao Chen was Fuya. Does he really think being reborn can make up for everything? No. It can't.”

“Yes,” System sighed. “Nothing can make up for it. What happened has already happened. Besides…”

“…Host, you're no longer the original A Guoguo.”
