Even if I'm a Fake Heiress, I Will Dare to Be Trashy

Chapter 189

Shen Yue directly found a step to sit down, and patted the place next to her, signaling Tang Yi to also sit down.

Tang Yi did not stand on ceremony either, sitting down heavily next to Shen Yue, and opening his mouth to say, "I killed my father."

Shen Yue was still waiting for the follow up from Tang Yi, but after Tang Yi said this sentence he fell into prolonged silence. This made Shen Yue realize that Tang Yi was waiting for her response.

So Shen Yue followed up, "Um, what happened next?"

This calm reaction seemed to be within Tang Yi's expectations. He continued, "My father killed my mother because my mother was very beautiful. He felt that beautiful things should greet death in the most wonderful pose."

Shen Yue continued nodding.

"Three months ago, I killed my younger siblings because they wanted to kill me," said Tang Yi, looking up at the sky. For the first time he did not observe the emotions of the person beside him while speaking. It was as if he was simply recounting.

Shen Yue understood how to be a listener. She gave feedback at the right times, responding, "What can I do for you?"

Tang Yi did not answer and continued talking to himself, "The night seems destined to be lonely. Everyone fears the darkness, afraid of being swallowed up by it. But for the darkness to keep someone, it's actually very simple - just trap them in a nightmare."

Tang Yi's words had meaning. Shen Yue thought of the rumors she had heard about herself recently and immediately understood Tang Yi's implication.

The Floor Distribution Ceremony was tomorrow. As the only winner, Shen Yue knew she would definitely enter Building 7. The only difference was whether or not she could become the person in power.

First, her actions recently had made everyone assign her to Tang Yi's friendly camp. With Tang Yi alone controlling Building 4, that was already enough to give the other inmates headaches. If you add another Building 4-friendly party, it will only make things harder for everyone.

Based on this consideration, people would definitely try to instigate the inmates of Building 7 to reject changing the person in power both openly and covertly.

Building 7 was different from the other buildings. The person in power in Building 7 was elected through democratic voting by the inmates.

Every inmate in Building 7 had their own uniqueness. No one wanted to defer to anyone else. This resulted in Building 7 having to allocate resources evenly, otherwise uncontrollable conflicts would occur.

Without a clear hierarchical system and with the premise that everyone was equal, the person in power could only emerge through election.

A common occurrence during Building 7 elections was that everyone would only vote for themselves. This led to Building 7 not having a leader for long periods of time, with everyone just doing their own thing.

It was not until the current person in power appeared and obtained two votes that he successfully became the leader.

Just two votes were enough. As long as Shen Yue did not get more votes, it would be impossible for her to become the leader.

Although she had not intentionally paid attention, Shen Yue also knew that Building 1's top brass were absolutely opposed to her becoming the leader.

Shen Yue understood Building 1's internal structure and had interacted with Building 1’s people before. Having such a person become Building 7’s leader and assassin’s boss was too dangerous.

Building 2 and Building 4 were arch enemies, so they naturally did not want Building 4 to have another friendly ally. In the past period of time, they had sent quite a lot of things to Building 7.

Building 3 was neutral and did not care about these things.

Building 5 had no action on the surface, but it was unknown whether they had done anything privately.

Building 6, even more so, explicitly rejected Shen Yue becoming the leader. They felt that having another lunatic would greatly increase their workload.

Building 8 took no action. Shen Yue did not have direct conflicts of interest with them. One could even say she was half tied together with them. So they had no reason to stop Shen Yue.

So far, the only ones who had not expressed their stance were actually Building 4. Tang Yi coming to say these things today was also to make final confirmation.

【The darkness wants to keep someone by trapping them in a nightmare.】

This would be clipping her own wings, so she could only rely on him.

Shen Yue was not surprised. Tang Yi was originally this kind of person. One should say he was very similar to her current self — both wanted to force someone into a dead end where they only had one choice before they would let their guard down.

But Shen Yue would not be forced into desperation. She would only make herself look like she had one option. This was the principle of feigning weakness that Danila had taught her.

She turned her head to look at Tang Yi and issued an instruction to him at just the right speech rate.

"Tang Yi, look at me."

Tang Yi turned his head over. The white moonlight landed on Shen Yue's body, causing her whole body to radiate a different kind of glory.

He saw his own reflection in Shen Yue's eyes. For a moment, he wanted to sink forever in the soft colors of Shen Yue's eyes but was unable to determine the final destination.

Everything around them seemed to freeze in the instant their eyes met. Amidst the deathly silence, only each other's intermingling breaths could confirm existence itself.

Tang Yi did not know what he was thinking in that moment. He just knew that when he came back to his senses, he had already touched a comfortable warmth. It was imprinted in his palm, making it so he could no longer easily let go.

He heard Shen Yue say, "The night is not just darkness. There is also moonlight."

Moon. Light.

Tang Yi softly repeated these two words while looking at Shen Yue's face, not knowing what he was thinking.

Shen Yue did not rush him but just sat there allowing Tang Yi to stare at her. She even had the mind to try out Danila's method of light and shadow composition.

The effect of moonlight should be better than sunlight. Moonlight was cool enough while sunlight had warmth.

"Can darkness yearn for moonlight?" Tang Yi asked.

Shen Yue looked at the fake moon in the sky and gently said, "The moonlight one yearns for will dissipate, but the moon itself that one yearns for will not."

The prison's weather simulation was always very good. The simulated moon would also simulate stars.

After the short heart-to-heart ended, neither person said anything more. They just sat there watching the stars all night.

As the sky gradually brightened, Tang Yi left behind his answer before leaving, "You are my white moon."
