On the stone steps, Li Mu asked tenderly, "Lu Ning, do you think we can stay together forever?"

Lu Ning pinched Li Mu's cheek affectionately and smiled, "Close your eyes."

Upon hearing this, Li Mu closed his eyes.

Lu Ning took a box out of his pocket, opened it, and inside was a gold ring.

"Open your eyes."

Upon hearing this, Li Mu opened her eyes. When she saw the gold ring in front of her, her eyes widened, she covered her mouth, and her eyes were filled with joy.

Lu Ning held Li Mu's hand, put a gold ring on her finger, and said with deep affection in his eyes, "Mu Mu, marry me!"

Tears streamed down Li Mu's face as she nodded repeatedly, "Yes!"

Just then, Yu Ran walked out from the branch hall behind them.

She paused for a moment when she saw the two of them.

Her face paled slightly when she saw the gold ring on Li Mu's finger.

Then, Yu Ran's eyes flashed, and pretending not to see, she smiled and asked, "Sister Mu Mu, Lu Ning, what are you doing?"

Before Li Mu and Lu Ning could finish speaking, a calm voice rang out: "Yu Ran, I also want to ask you what you're doing."

The three of them looked in the direction from which the sound came.

It was Lu Ning.

At this moment, Lu Ning's expression was numb, as if he had lost all emotion.

Upon seeing Lu Ning, Yu Ran, Li Mu, and 'Lu Ning' were all taken aback, their eyes widening in surprise.

Yu Ran asked in astonishment, "Who...who are you?!"

She glanced at Lu Ning on the stone steps, then at Lu Ning's blank expression, and seemed to be completely dumbfounded.

"Why are there two Lu Nings?! What's going on?"

Lu Ning pointed expressionlessly at the two people still holding hands on the stone steps and said, "I also want to ask you, why would you have such a dream?"

"A dream? What dream?" Yu Ran frowned, then looked at Lu Ning with some wariness: "You're definitely not Lu Ning! Lu Ning has recovered her emotions for a long time! She wouldn't have such a stern face like you! Who are you? Why are you impersonating Lu Ning?"

Bai Jingming, who was standing next to Lu Ning, couldn't help but grin when he heard this.

He glanced at Lu Ning, whose expression had become even more numb.

Li Mu frowned and said, "Yeah, who are you? Why are you pretending to be my Lu Ning?"

Lu Ning remained silent, not even glancing at Li Mu or 'Lu Ning'.

In his view, both Li Mu and 'Lu Ning' were filled with silver mist and spider silk inside.

Yu Ran, however, possesses the soul of a normal person.

Clearly, Yu Ran's body was asleep outside, while her soul was having this inexplicable dream in the dream dimension.

Just as Lu Ning was about to speak, footsteps suddenly sounded.

Someone else came out from the main entrance of the branch office.

Upon seeing the person walking out, Lu Ning was taken aback, a complex expression appearing in his eyes.

The person who came out was Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao, a cigarette dangling from his mouth and a smile on his face, walked out the door and asked, "Xiao Ran, what's going on? Why are you making such a fuss?"

However, Lin Xiao's expression froze when he saw the two Lu Nings.

He opened his mouth, not even noticing the cigarette he was holding fall to the ground, and said, "Huh? Two Lu Nings? What's going on?"

Yu Ran crossed her arms and looked at the expressionless real Lu Ning with displeasure: "I don't know what's wrong with this person, impersonating Lu Ning!"

Lin Xiao nodded slightly, looked at the expressionless Zhen Luning, and said, "I must say, your expression is quite similar to when we first met."

Lu Ning's eyes flickered, and he said calmly, "We meet again, Captain."

Although Lin Xiao was also composed of silver mist and spider silk in Lu Ning's sight, Lu Ning still greeted him.

Lin Xiao was taken aback, looked Lu Ning up and down, and muttered to himself, "...Why do I feel like this kid is a bit real?"

At the same time, a look of confusion flashed in Yu Ran's eyes.

She glanced at Lu Ning's expressionless face, then at Lu Ning's gentle smile. For some reason, Yu Ran felt a sudden urge to think, 'The Lu Ning who looks expressionless is the real one.'

If he is real, then what about Lu Ning, who is with Sister Mu Mu?

Who is he?

Yu Ran felt her thoughts were in disarray, her eyes filled with confusion.

Just then, someone else came out.

Lu Ning looked over and saw two people who came out: a middle-aged man and a middle-aged woman.

The middle-aged man was of above-average appearance, with a slightly round face, and somewhat resembled Yu Ran.

The middle-aged woman was more pretty and delicate-looking, with a gentle smile on her face.

She said to Yu Ran, "Xiao Ran, it's time to go home together after get off work."

The confusion in Yu Ran's eyes gradually faded. She nodded and smiled, "Okay!"

At this moment, the middle-aged man stared intently at Lu Ning, whose face remained expressionless.

Lu Ning also stared intently at Ran's parents.

In Lu Ning's eyes, both of them were spider monsters.

Their lower bodies are spiders, while their upper bodies are a man and a woman.

The spider-man's gaze swept over the fabricated Lu Ning in the dream dimension, then looked at the expressionless Lu Ning, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

He smiled at Yu Ran and asked, "Xiao Ran, who is he?"

Spider-Man pointed at the expressionless Zhen Luning.

The spider woman also noticed Lu Ning's presence. She narrowed her eyes, a bloodthirsty glint flashing within them.

Bai Jingming seemed to sense that something was wrong.

Although he couldn't see the Dream Eater's true form, he glanced at Lu Ning and, seeing Lu Ning's expressionless face, his body tensed slightly.

Yu Ran looked at Lu Ning, who had no expression, and a look of confusion reappeared in her eyes.

She opened her mouth, then shook her head and said, "I...I don't know...I think he looks like Lu Ning...?"
