Meng Xinghe stroked Xiao Tangqiu's hair and chuckled, saying, "Honestly, I was pretty happy at first in that free-wheeling world. I had everything I wanted, and I could live whatever life I wanted... It was just like the hero in a YY novel. It was awesome."

Xiao Tangqiu couldn't help but ask, "What happened next?"

Meng Xinghe paused. "Then I got tired of it... A life that was smooth and unobstructed was exciting but boring. Most importantly, I realized that I was the only one in that world. I felt empty and lonely, so I created you."

Xiao Tangqiu raised his eyebrows: "And then?"

Meng Xing sighed softly. "The you I created, while having the exact same appearance and voice as you, never argued with me, never glared at me, never scolded me, never disobeyed you... What's the difference between you and a pre-programmed program? I quickly destroyed this unsuccessful creation."

Xiao Tangqiu thought about it from another perspective. If he had met someone who looked exactly like Meng Xinghe but only obeyed him in everything during these seven years, he would probably get bored very quickly. So he smiled and continued to ask, "What happened next?"

Meng Xinghe was silent for a long time before he finally spoke: "Later, I finally realized that it was not a beautiful world where you can do whatever you want, but just a false world. Everything is fake, nothing is real, even I myself am not real. I began to find myself trapped in the dark abyss of consciousness, but I can't escape..." Miaomiao said

Xiao Tangqiu tilted his head: "So you were under too much pressure and became mentally ill?"

Meng Xinghe chuckled softly, "Perhaps. I began to regret discovering the truth of that world. Sometimes reality isn't always beautiful. I split off 'Shen Yuan' and left him as an ignorant individual... At the time, my consciousness was on the verge of complete collapse. If 'Shen Yuan' had finally discovered the truth, perhaps my consciousness would have completely collapsed. But then, you appeared."

Xiao Tangqiu was stunned for a moment. This was the first time Meng Xinghe mentioned this matter. It turned out that when his consciousness was forcibly pulled into the experimental project, Meng Xinghe's consciousness was on the verge of collapse?

What would have happened if Meng Xinghe's consciousness had collapsed, even if he had finally woken up? Or would Meng Xinghe, whose consciousness had collapsed, never have woken up again, and would have fallen into a perpetual sleep?

"You are my salvation. It is you who pulled me out of that dark abyss..." Meng Xinghe looked at Xiao Tangqiu with deep eyes, but his eyes were extremely gentle. "You are my salvation."

Xiao Tangqiu whispered, "You are also my salvation."

Meng Xinghe smiled softly: "We redeem each other."

A month had passed since Xiao Tangqiu brought Meng Xinghe home. During this time, Xiao Tangqiu had not only taken care of Meng Xinghe's daily life but had also diligently and responsibly supported his rehabilitation. Although Xiao Tangqiu's caregiving abilities were nowhere near the level of the senior caregiver Meng Qingqiu had hired, Meng Xinghe's recovery had been remarkable. Initially unable to stand on his own two feet, he gradually became able to stand for a minute, then two, then three, using his wheelchair...

Meng Xinghe was able to stand for longer and longer periods of time, and now he could even stand on his own without holding on to anything.

"Keep going," Xiao Tangqiu patted Meng Xinghe's leg gently, "I believe you will be able to stand up on your own soon without my help. When you can walk, we can go out together. We can go wherever you want to go."
