Chapter 7 I Want to Protect You two
"The engagement ceremony is tomorrow. Go pick out a dress you like later." After breakfast, Yuan Yichen looked at me and said with a smile.
"Huh?" I was a little confused. Time passed so quickly. I was going to get engaged tomorrow! I clenched my fists. I couldn't really get engaged to Yuan Yichen!
"Don't worry, I'll take care of everything." Yuan Yichen said while holding my hand. He must have thought that I was nervous.
I lowered my head and didn't look into his eyes, and whispered, "Can you let me touch Menghun again?"
Yuan Yichen then took off Menghun and placed it in my palm. I stroked Menghun and almost didn't want to give it back to Yuan Yichen, but I wasn't crazy yet , and it would be inappropriate to snatch Menghun at this time.
I reluctantly returned Menghun to Yuan Yichen, and Yuan Yichen smiled and said, "Menghun is always yours, don't worry, I will return it to you, and we will rule the world together."
"Why do we have to rule the world? We can just find a secluded paradise and live in seclusion." I looked up at Yuan Yichen and said, "People should be equal, even if we are in a comic book world, but why do we have to rule them? Why do we have to let them call you master? Yichen, please don't be like this. What era is this?"
I thought Yuan Yichen would refute me, but I didn't expect that the first person to refute me would be Xinxin.
"Since you want to be with the master, you must agree with the master's ideas. We are voluntary slaves of the master. The master has infinite charm that makes people fascinated. On the contrary, you, how can you be worthy of the master?" Xinxin looked at me angrily and said.
"You volunteered, but what about the others? Did they also volunteer? Xinxin, we shouldn't do bad things or wrong things in the name of love . If I hadn't come here, I wouldn't be able to control what the world would be like. But now that I'm here, how can I not care?!"
"Don't think of yourself as a saint. Do you know what we really want?!" Xinxin yelled at me, her facial features almost distorted .
"Xinxin, I know you treat me well. Xiaowu, I also know what you're thinking, but people always have to look forward, just like when we study we want to get first place in the exam, we want to be class monitor, we want other students to support us, the rule of the world is to worship the strong." Yuan Yichen spread his hands with an expression of enjoyment.
I just felt like I was looking at a madman, so I stood up and went back to my room angrily. Yuan Yichen was nice to me because in his eyes, we were the same high-level people, different from the other people created in the comics. But what was the difference? We couldn't leave here, we were just characters in the comics!
I was thinking about random things, and suddenly something flashed in my mind. I immediately calmed down and emptied my mind. I found that when I emptied my mind and meditated, I could sense more of the content of the dream soul.
In my dream, I came to that ancient and strange place again. This time, the scene I saw was a bit scary. There were waves of earthquakes, causing the sky to collapse and the earth to sink, and smoke and dust to billow. I saw countless people being swallowed up in the darkness. I woke up with a scream. The choking smell of dust seemed real, and I couldn't help but retching a few times.
Is this the revelation from my dream? If we don't leave here, will we also fall into such a horrible situation? This is a virtual space after all. We have stopped growing here. This place won't exist for long, otherwise the real world will be in chaos. Just like a TV series, there must be an end! If we don't leave by then, we will die like the people in the comics.
I fell into unprecedented anxiety. I wanted to go to Yuan Yichen to explain, but Yuan Yichen was already crazy. He wouldn't listen to me, and Xinxin and the others would definitely not listen to me. I only had myself! Dream Soul! If I got the Dream Soul, there would definitely be a solution. I have felt a lot of things in a mess now, and I feel that I am just a little bit away from mastering all the uses of the Dream Soul. I now feel that I am different. I am the descendant of the wizard clan, and I am the master of the Dream Soul!
I took a deep breath and pretended to wander around the room aimlessly, Xinxin followed me. I really couldn't understand her. I had designed her to be very smart, why would she follow someone who didn't like her and lower herself to be a slave?
"Xinxin, you must hate me." I suddenly stopped and said.
Xinxin lowered her head and didn't say anything. After a long while, she looked up at me and said, "Yes, your appearance disrupted my entire life. I thought I was the one and only heroine, until you came, I knew it wasn't. I tried my best to suppress you, but pushed all the people I liked to your side." Xinxin smiled sadly, "Yan Yimu used to run after me, and Yuan Yichen was surprised the first day he saw me. He praised me for being beautiful, and I was very happy. But he said I was beautiful because of you! I couldn't believe it until... Yuan Yichen did a lot of things and finally let me know that I was just a supporting role in your comics. I'm different from you, I'm not a living person, but I still fell in love with Yuan Yichen, Yu Yingwu, why don't you let me fall in love with someone else? Why are there so many surprises in your comics?"
I didn't know how to answer this question, so after thinking for a while, I could only say helplessly: "There are many unpredictable things in the real world, Xinxin, I know you think you are just a cartoon character, but here, we are all the same!"
"We are different because you have Yuan Yichen, and he can rule over all of us." Xinxin's expression was both painful and sweet when she mentioned Yuan Yichen.
"What if I can take you to the real world? Then you will be a real person!" I said suddenly excitedly.
Xinxin's eyes dimmed, and she said sadly: "The master said that we are virtual characters and we can't survive in the real world."
"Actually, that may not be the case. How do you know if you haven't tried it?" I really hope to convince Xinxin that with her help, I will get twice the result with half the effort.
Xinxin shook her head and refused: "I will not betray my master."
I sighed, lowered my head and continued walking, and before I knew it, I was at the door of Yuan Yichen's room. Just as I was about to knock on the door, Xinxin told me that Yuan Yichen had gone out. Out... just what I wanted, now I just had to get Xinxin out of the way! I wandered around aimlessly again, and then told Xinxin that I wanted to eat the yogurt salad that was in Yuan Yichen's room last night.
Xinxin's body trembled, but she quickly calmed down and said in a sour tone: "I made that yogurt salad for my master, and my master gave it to you, so I was so happy for nothing." She shrugged and said, "I'll make you another one." She left disappointed.
While Xinxin was away, I quickly slipped into Yuan Yichen's room, hoping that he would not take Menghun out with him! I pushed the door open, tiptoed in, and quickly closed it.
It was my first time doing this, and my heart was beating fast. I carefully searched, and fortunately there were not many things in Yuan Yichen's house, so I found Menghun in the bottom drawer of the small square table. But before I could be happy, I heard the sound of the door opening.
Time seemed to freeze. Yuan Yichen, who was standing outside the door, looked at me in disbelief, while I stared at him with my eyes wide open.
"Xiao Wu, what are you doing?" Yuan Yichen took a breath and asked calmly.
If I said I walked into the wrong room and just flipped through the books out of curiosity, would he believe it? Probably not! But I couldn't tell him my real purpose!
I tried to calm myself down, shrugged my shoulders and said casually: "I... I was just looking around."
"You want Menghun? You want to steal Menghun! What you said about wanting to be with me was all fake, why did you do this!" Yuan Yichen's expression was very sad, his sadness even overshadowed his anger.
I think he must be very disappointed in me, but I had no choice. I stood there, holding Menghun tightly in my hand. Yuan Yichen's room had a big window, and my body size was just right for jumping out of the window. So, I just froze for a moment, then immediately turned around and ran towards the window, then closed my eyes and jumped down.
"No!" Yuan Yichen shouted miserably.
I didn't fall to the ground, but landed in someone's arms. When I opened my eyes, I saw Yan Yimu's haggard but still handsome face: "Yan Yimu!"
"Silly!" Yan Yimu put me down and ran with me.
I had too many questions, but no time to ask them. We kept running, and Yuan Yichen's men kept chasing us. It seemed that time had gone back to the last time. But this time, I was more powerful than last time. I chanted a spell, and the surrounding scenery changed. It seemed that we had grown wings, and the people behind us were left far behind.
