Just out of the operating room, I was stabbed to death by an emotionally unstable patient's family member. My soul floated in the air, and the voice of The Script popped into my mind. It said I was the "First Love" character in a brainless tragic romance novel who died miserably at the start, and my killer was the Heroine's brother. And my death would facilitate the meeting between my boyfriend Julian and the Heroine Tessa. They would breed love in the entanglement of hate, staging a drama of "love in a sea of hate". My face was pale, indignant: "Why treat my life as a joke? And my boyfriend will never fall in love with the killer's family." The Script sneered: "Want to bet? Within three months, if your boyfriend can resist the plot and not change his heart, I will let you resurrect!" I agreed immediately. Julian, whether I can come back to life depends on you! Chapter 1 The bet began. My soul floated in the air, watching the plot develop step by step. I fell in a pool of blood, and Julian came to pick me up from work, just seeing this scene. The roses and ring in his hand scattered all over the ground, his expression was indescribable collapse. Yes, I had long guessed, today was the day he prepared to propose. Under my white coat, I was wearing a carefully selected dress, planning to accept the proposal with the most beautiful look. The murderer had been subdued, Julian held my body, crying unconsciously: "Someone come, save her!" Pity I was killed by the plot, even a divine doctor couldn't save me. Julian withered rapidly, not drinking or eating, just silently and thoughtfully handling my funeral. In just a few days, he had stubble, dark circles under his eyes. Seeing his decadent appearance, my heart felt like being twisted by a knife. The Script poured cold water aside: "Don't look at him now acting like he can't live without you, when the Heroine appears, it will be love at first sight." But his expression was so painful, such a person, really would fall in love with the murderer's sister within three months? Tessa came on the last day of my funeral. She wore black, looking regretful. Tessa was once my patient, I performed a kidney transplant for her. Just because rejection reaction occurred after surgery, her brother Tyler decided it was my surgery failure, directly brought a knife to the hospital and stabbed me to death. My parents were old, white-haired people sending black-haired people, they angrily asked Tessa to leave. "Get out! My daughter doesn't want to see you!" Tessa bit her lip, big tears in her eyes, about to fall but not falling. Her knees softened, knelt in front of Julian. "Mr. Hale, I know my brother did wrong, but he has always been a good boy. Please look at his young age and ignorance, sign this Leniency Letter." "The dead have left, the living still have to live well." "If my brother really goes to jail, his life is over! As a sister, my conscience is also uneasy." Hearing this, I sneered in anger. "This is your Heroine, shed two tears, want to wipe out my life?" The Script was silent for a moment, slowly said: "Your boyfriend just needs to buy this." Julian's eyes were pitch black, bottomless, no one knew what he was thinking. After a long while, he looked down at Tessa, thin lips opened: "Are you crazy? Your brother killed my girlfriend, pay no price, and you want me to sign a leniency letter?" Tessa raised her head, eyes unspeakably stubborn. "Haven't I already knelt down for you?" Julian's mouth corner hooked a sneer, bent down, choked Tessa's neck, word by word: "Is your kneeling very valuable? I can also kneel for you, as long as you can let my girlfriend live." "I won't sign the leniency letter, and will pursue to the end! Your brother not only has to go to jail, your family also has to pay a huge amount of compensation!" Finished, Julian let go, disgustedly wiped his hands with wet wipes, turned and left. Julian's reaction made me breathe a sigh of relief, we were childhood sweethearts, grew up together. Even not for love, just friendship, I didn't believe he would betray our promise and feelings. But The Script just lightly flipped the script, analyzing for me: "Don't rush, don't be proud. Said it's 'love in a sea of hate', how can it be so smooth at the beginning? It's growing love out of hate that looks good!" Sure enough, within three days, Tessa knocked on Julian's door on a dark windy night. Julian wore loungewear, opened the door, seeing it was Tessa, the indifference in his eyes seemed to swallow people. "What are you doing here?" Silver moonlight hit Tessa's face, carrying a bit of struggle and shyness. Her hand gently untied the belt of her trench coat, clothes slowly fell off, almost naked inside. Tessa's voice trembled, carrying a crying tone. "Mr. Hale, my brother is already in jail, he has paid the price for his behavior! But my parents are innocent, our family doesn't have that much money for compensation." "I apologize for my self-righteous behavior two days ago! I am willing to compensate you with my body, I can be with you, as long as you can let go of my parents!" The explicit scene in front made my breath pause. Honestly, if reading a novel, I would also find this scene exciting, my morals and desires would fight. Pity, I am that unlucky early-dead First Love. My heart only left with anger! The Script leisurely said in my ear: "This is the Male Lead's little scheme. Deliberately asking for so much compensation, he clearly knows the Heroine can't pay, finally can only beg him, he then stands on moral high ground and reluctantly agrees." No! Impossible! Julian is absolutely not this kind of person! I stared dead at Julian, wanting to see any change in his expression clearly. Julian faintly hooked a smile. "Seems Miss Tessa is very confident in her body." Tessa's face seemed on fire, ears red enough to drip blood. "Pity, you stripping naked in front of me, I only feel disgusted." "What kind of upbringing makes you think, stripping naked sleeping with someone can solve problems?" "There is surveillance in the hallway, if you still have basic shame, put on clothes and leave immediately." Door slammed shut heavily, Tessa face dead ash. Humiliation, anger, embarrassment, various emotions spread, she wrapped clothes, leaned against wall, tears slowly slid down. I looked at The Script somewhat playfully: "How to explain this time?" The Script had a dark face, no longer had previous winning grasp. "The main show is still behind! Men are all fickle!" Chapter 2 Next day, Julian condition much better. He took lawyer and bodyguards, legally and compliantly applied to freeze Tessa's family property, and emptied furniture. Tessa cried like pear blossom bathed in rain, questioning: "Mr. Hale, must you drive us to extinction?" Julian looked back, frowned asking: "Aren't you living well?" That day, to not sleep on street, Tessa family handed over savings book. Inside was future fund saved for Tessa's brother, enough to pay back more than half compensation. Tessa discovering parents hid money, looked like stabbed in back. Tessa parents eyes dodging, cursing in mouth: "All you this harm star! Caused your brother kill person go jail for you! Later you have to take care us lifetime, also take care your brother lifetime!" Julian took the farce all in eyes, Tessa looked at him somewhat seeking help. The Script started speaking again: "See? Male Lead finds Heroine actually is a little bitter melon, will reflect on his previous attitude, they about to break ice." But Julian just silently left, he took savings book to my parents. My parents still completely immersed in pain of losing daughter, Julian handed savings book, voice choked: "Uncle Auntie, this is part of compensation, I will continue follow up later." Parents waving hands, wanted say forget it. But Julian insisted repeatedly. "Uncle Auntie, money you must take, Elena not here, this money is for you two pension later." My heart just surged a warm current, feeling Julian seriously considering for my parents. The Script like discovered something big, excitedly told me: "See no! Male Lead is making cut, this means he won't be responsible for your parents' pension later!" This time, I didn't refute. I felt, Julian is a bit wrong. Tessa became Julian's personal secretary. First day Tessa came to work, Julian threw a big temper, questioning HR how recruited. HR scared trembling: "Boss, Miss Tessa's resume completely fits our hiring standards." Tessa no longer forbearing like past, she stepped forward, looked straight at Julian, calmly started negotiation. "Mr. Hale, if remember correctly, I still owe you 200k compensation." "You certainly can fire me, but same time I also hard find suitable job in short term. My family situation you clear, only me one labor force can pay debt." "If I can't pay money, can't afford food, maybe will leave everything, walk away." "That time no matter how you force my parents useless, they can't take out more money." Tessa's frank serious speech convinced Julian, he stunned moment, accepted Tessa as secretary. I stopped talking, lowered head. The Script instead unbearably comforted me: "Don't too sad, you sooner or later have to accept. Male and Female Leads just experience thousands hardships, finally be together." Yes, they are pure hate love that can finally become family even across blood sea deep enmity. What about me? My briefly withered life, just to let them meet. Too ridiculous. In days after, Tessa showed amazing work ability. Even if Julian always threw tantrum without reason, various difficulties ridicule, Tessa not rush not annoy, always could handle one by one. She would accompany Julian stay up all night rushing report, hand hot porridge and stomach medicine when his stomach hurt. Also when project appeared doubts, use her knowledge argue strongly with Julian. Even if Julian always let her do chores irrelevant to work, she could also easily grab both hands, balance life and career well. In new work project, Tessa made perfect plan, helped company win big case. Even partner company praised endlessly, praising to Julian when signing: "Mr. Hale really good eye, where dug such good talent." Other companies wanted pay heavy money buy Tessa, let her reveal company secret crush Julian. Even I squeezed a sweat, worried Tessa betray. But she recorded evidence, lightly handed over evidence, joined hands with Julian, solved rival company. That moment, I clearly saw waver in Julian's eyes. He no longer made difficulties for Tessa, no longer said excessive words to her. At celebration party, Tessa drank too much, hand on Julian shoulder, drunk eyes blurred. "Mr. Hale, you all want beat me down, want let me die, I just won't let you wish. I just want live well, slap everyone's face!" Even I almost beaten down by Tessa's high spirited vitality, let alone Julian. Julian quietly gazed at Tessa, eyes seemed have appreciation, and undercurrent I couldn't say. Finally, he just softly said: "No one wants to beat you down." The Script didn't remind me again, anyone could see, Julian's heart already wandered. Chapter 3 Julian arranged a business trip for himself the next day. Coincidentally, that plane crashed, whole city reporting this news. Tessa sobered up, learned this news, rushed to airport like crazy. Her messy hair fluttered in wind, even without makeup shockingly beautiful. And Julian, due to dazing in waiting room, missed boarding time, avoided disaster. He was holding suitcase, standing blankly at airport entrance. Tessa rushed to airport, tears at eye corner, moment seeing Julian, thousand emotions surged heart, couldn't control emotion anymore. She like falling white dove, pounced into Julian arms, unrestrainedly cried loud: "Julian, luckily you fine, I worried dead on way." Her coquetry in tone, revealed recent state change of two completely. The Script said, this is big plot in book. Before life and death juncture, two will see clear their hearts. My heart seemed grabbed tight by a ruthless big hand, heartache beyond addition. So, me and Julian more than ten years feelings, only used two months, covered by Tessa. Julian raised hand, pushed Tessa away, tone calm: "Tessa, what are you doing?" Tessa still crying just now stunned, she didn't expect, Julian would be this reaction. "I... I just worried you." Julian eyes dark, just secretly clutched his clothes corner tight, didn't reply. He stopped talking, hailed a car, returned home. The Script seemed afraid I still not give up heart, just about to speak, interrupted by me. "You don't need say, I can see, sooner or later thing." The Script asked somewhat hesitantly: "Then you still want bet?" I nodded: "Of course, die I also want die clearly, I want see with own eyes how they get together." At night, Julian sleeping. Tessa called, voice trembling: "Mr. Hale, I am at Alley No. 6, someone following me, beg you help me." Julian opened hazy eyes, immediately got up dressed, ran towards address Tessa gave. On way, they kept communication, Julian gently comforted Tessa. "Don't fear, I arrive immediately." Julian arrived, forced back follower. Tessa legs soft from scare, fell into Julian arms, hugged dead tight not letting go. "Mr. Hale, thank you." Julian didn't move, after Tessa emotion stable, pushed her away. "Encounter this kind thing call police first later, not contact me." Finished, Julian turned ready leave. Tessa suddenly born huge courage, hugged Julian from behind. "Julian, I have something tell you." "You should can feel, I... I like you." Julian body stiff, he pried open Tessa hands hugging him, slowly turned around: "Do you know what you saying?" "So lack man? Or think being with me no need pay debt?" Tessa face instantly became pale, her voice shrill and heartbroken. "How can you say me like this?" Julian somewhat disdainful: "How you did, I say how. Tessa, need I remind you? Your brother killed my girlfriend, now still serving sentence in prison..." "Enough!" Tessa covered ears, interrupted Julian words. "Your girlfriend death not our fault, why use other's life punish us?" "Price should bear I bore all, I much braver than you, I at least can face my own heart!" "Getting along so long, don't believe you feel nothing to me!" Julian sneered, forced Tessa to corner. "Other's life? That is girl I loved from small to big! She kind enthusiastic, saving dying healing wounded, destroyed by your brother a social scum!" "From beginning to end, I have no feeling for you at all. I not that cheap, can be with enemy's sister. What? You want me pretend nothing happened later, accompany you pick up brother from prison?" Tessa lost soul hid on ground, cried loud. I watched everything in front, hope reignited in heart. Today, is last day of three months bet! But The Script exclaimed: "How can be like this, I clearly erasing his memory of you!" After The Script emitted that scream, whole world seemed silent for a moment. "What did you say just now? Erase memory?" The Script seemed realize leaked mouth, voice became stammering: "This... this is standard process. To let plot proceed smoothly, Protagonist must forget some memories hindering emotional development..." I felt a chill rising from deep soul. "During our bet?" I shouted angrily: "This is unfair! You are cheating!" The Script silent for a while, tone became tough: "Fair? This world originally serves Male and Female Leads. Your existence, just a stepping stone. Now bet time already up, although Julian didn't fall in love with Tessa, but plot must continue." In The Script mouth, I finally cleared fact truth. In original plot, when Tessa went find Julian say want accompany him, Julian would agree. Start from then, Julian abnormality attracted The Script attention. To pull plot back to track, The Script little by little deleted Julian memory of me. Along with it, his disgust for Tessa naturally less and less. Knowing plane crash that day, Julian saw a young couple proposing at boarding gate. He watched boy single knee kneel, take out ring, girl shyly said that sentence I do. Memories related to me instantly exploded, at that moment, Julian completely remembered me. Remembered my desperate look falling in blood pool, remembered accompanying me school when young, remembered appearance when I agreed date him. I looked towards Julian, he was coldly watching crying Tessa, eyes no tenderness, only disgust and fatigue. I turned to The Script said: "You promised me, if Julian didn't fall in love with Tessa within three months, let me resurrect." The Script emitted a strange laugh: "You too naive. Even I let you resurrect, Tessa as Heroine, still has way let plot return track. You supporting roles, never can defeat Protagonist Halo." Voice just fell, I suddenly felt a dizziness. Scene in front started blur, Julian and Tessa figures became twisted. When I could see clear again, found myself back in Julian apartment. Julian sitting at desk writing diary. I walked up, saw content in diary clearly: "Today happened a strange thing. I always feel heart empty a piece, like forgot something extremely important." "Passed flower shop off work, involuntarily walked in bought a bunch white roses, but didn't know who to give." "Tessa tried approach me again today, look she looked me made me very uncomfortable. I should hate her, but sometimes looking her, that disgust feeling would inexplicably weaken. This not right." I looked at words he wrote, heart burst of sting. The Script indeed erasing his memory, trying let him forget my death, forget hatred to Tessa. Julian put down pen, rubbed temples, took out a photo from drawer——that was our group photo vacationing seaside last year. Me in photo smiled brilliant, he hugged my shoulder, eyes gentle. He stared at photo for long time, brows frowned tighter and tighter. "Elena..." He softly read my name, finger stroked my face on photo. "Why once think of you, my heart hurts so much?" The Script sneered in my ear: "Useless, memory erasure is irreversible. Few more days, he will completely forget you, only remember he had an ex-girlfriend accidentally died, and Tessa will become special existence in his heart." I gritted teeth cursed: "You despicable!" "This is plot need." The Script calmly said: "However, I can let you witness all this with own eyes. After all, you indeed won the bet, although I won't fulfill promise."
