Chapter 410
Before the system called Yun Jinyi, Yun Mian covered it with his hand.
"Shh~" The child looked at it with bright eyes and put his slender fingers to his lips to signal it to be quiet.
system:"……"
Ahhhhh mom, help me!!!
Mianmian is possessed by a ghost ahh ...
But I don’t know if it’s because of the soul binding, but when Yunmian doesn’t allow it to speak, no matter how much it screams, it has to hold it in its heart.
It was also at this time that the system suddenly realized that since it had been bound to Mianmian, it had never been banned from speaking by her, nor had it been locked up in a small dark room. Other systems seemed to have had such experiences, but it had not.
But Mianmian...what on earth is this thing in Mianmian's body right now? !
The system was held in someone's hands in vain, unable to move or make any sound. It could only watch in panic and frustration as the unknown person who had woken up inexplicably walked around the room with a cotton-like body.
Yunmian looked around the small bedroom, her eyes full of surprise.
She got out of bed, stepped barefoot on the cold ground, and then slowly put on the brand new plush slippers beside the bed at the system's frantic prompts.
Everything here is strange.
There are no intelligent robots, no constant temperature systems, and no signs of higher-tech products. It seems even more backward than a garbage planet.
But the room is warmly decorated.
Yunmian walked to the window, raised her hand and gently pushed open the window, looking at the dark and clean night outside, the light in her eyes became brighter.
This is actually another world, with no mechas, no mental powers, no flying machines, and no exotic beasts...
"Who, who are you?!" The ball of light struggled to fly out of her hand, and this line of questioning suddenly flashed on the light screen. Even without any sound, it seemed menacing.
The words and the glittering ball of light were reflected in Yunmian's dark and clear eyes. She ignored the ball's nervous and defensive look, and suddenly curved her eyes and smiled obediently: "Hello~ I'm Yunmian, and I'm... 9 years old this year."
system:"!!!"
You are talking nonsense! My baby is only five years old! Where did you come from, little monster? Get out of my Mianmian's body right now!
The system was trembling with tension, not understanding why Mianmian's body was occupied by another soul when she woke up after just a nap.
It’s obvious that there are no ghosts or monsters in this small world!
It wanted to find Yun Jinyi, but no matter how hard it tried, it couldn't fly more than one meter away from Yun Mian!
There is no doubt that she is proficient in the use of various mechanical products!
That's why when he opened his eyes and saw it, he didn't feel the slightest bit of panic or surprise. Instead, he figured out how to use and limit it faster than Mianmian in so many other worlds.
Just when it was panicking and afraid and trying to play along with Yunmian, the door was suddenly pushed open.
Yun Jinyi walked in carrying a small bowl of steaming chicken soup.
Then their eyes met Yun Mian who was standing at the door and window.
The system jumped around desperately and loudly told Yun Jinyi about Mianmian's changes, telling her not to let go of the bad guy who suddenly occupied Mianmian's body.
Yun Jinyi walked in as usual after a brief moment of stunned silence. After closing the door, she smiled and said to the child who was standing quietly by the window, looking at her with pursed lips and not saying a word, "Mianmian, why are you daydreaming? The chicken soup cannot be heated up for the third time. Come and eat."
The system is confused.
It suddenly became quiet, looked at Yunmian, then at Yun Jinyi, and then thought of what Yunmian had just said when she was 9 years old. The most unlikely possibility gradually emerged in its mind.
This... is really cotton too?!
Yun Mian happened to be staring at Yun Jinyi and asked softly, "Why don't you ask who I am?"
"……Mother."
The way she addressed him was so soft and inaudible, yet it seemed to conceal a lot of unexpressed grievances.
Yun Jinyi put down the bowl and walked towards her daughter.
Every time she took a step closer, the child who had previously checked the system would secretly take a step back, until there was no room for retreat, then he would raise his fair little face and look at her with stubborn eyes.
Little did she know that the tears flashing in her eyes betrayed her immediately.
Until a warm and dry hand placed on her head, and with a little force, it ruffled her hair.
"Silly Mianmian, how could a mother not recognize her own daughter?"
"No matter where you come from, no matter what you look like, Mom will never mistake you."
So there is no need to ask who you are, just one glance is enough.
The helpless yet intimate tone, the sigh hidden in the voice, the warm yellow light and the warm palms above my head...
Then there was a hug that embraced him fully.
Yun Mian raised her hand and tightly grasped the corner of Yun Jinyi's clothes. She closed her eyes and blinked back the tears that were about to burst out, but the tears still slid silently down her cheeks.
She hasn't seen her mother for a whole year.
All the kids in the military academy knew that her mother was the most cutting-edge lieutenant colonel in the empire. They laughed at her for being useless and bringing shame to her mother. Every day there were countless messages on the Starnet advising her mother to go back to the incubator to give birth to a new child who could perfectly inherit her talent. Every time she had to quit training due to her physical condition, the teacher looked at her with a helpless and regretful look...
Yunmian endured these ridicules and gazes alone for four years.
And in these four years, she only saw her mother four times.
They were like the most familiar strangers in the world. When they met for the last time, Yunmian didn't even reach out to hug her mother, because she seemed to be drifting further and further away from her mother amid so many ridicules. Even in her dreams at night, she kept asking herself: Why did I become my mother's daughter? Why am I so weak?
Does she really deserve to have such a mother?
Will the mother also be laughed at by others for having such an incompetent daughter?
Yunmian couldn't get the answer, and one question after another trapped her in an abyss where she was increasingly confused, so she refused to answer her mother's calls for the first time.
She hugged Yun Er and cried for a long time. Yun Er said it was not her fault and that her mother loved her very much. However, these were questions that her mother should answer in person and give affirmative answers again and again, but Yun Mian didn't even have the chance to hear her mother say them.
Her mother is the guardian of the sea of stars, but not her guardian.
Yun Mian slowly loosened the corner of her mother's clothes, looked up at her, and saw her eyes full of herself. She wanted to raise the corners of her lips to smile at her, but her lips fell weakly.
"I don't know how I ended up here."
She lowered her head and explained softly, "I just had a lot of strange dreams, and the me in the dream told me that I could come to this world for a few days. Because the flow of time is not equal, I will just feel that it was a dream when I go back."
She originally thought it was just a dream, but after opening her eyes and seeing the flickering ball of light, and her bare feet touching the cold ground, she knew that this was not a dream.
"If you don't want to see me." Yun Mian looked up and met Yun Jinyi's gaze. He clenched his fingers silently at his side and said to her word by word, "I can also leave now."
Yun Jinyi looked at the little girl standing in front of her, her eyes full of tears but pretending not to care. Somewhere in her heart she collapsed gently. She raised her hand to wipe away the wet tears on her daughter's face and coaxed her gently, "Who said that mom doesn't want to see you? Mom misses you, too. That world has been so busy that I didn't have time to accompany you to grow up. This is mom's biggest mistake and the one she wants to make up for the most."
With just these few words, Yun Mian, who had thought she could remain calm and resolute, could no longer control her tears.
She had never felt herself so tearful.
When I was 9 years old, even if I could only stand in the corner of the classroom and watch my classmates exercise, I would just lower my head and play with my computer, pretending not to care. I would respond coldly to others' exclusion and ridicule, and I had never shed tears in front of others in shame.
But within just a few minutes of coming into this world, she cried twice.
“You remember everything?” Yun Mian raised her hand to wipe away her tears. She looked at Yun Jinyi with red eyes and asked, “Why do you remember everything? But I have never seen it!”
She stretched out her hand and pointed at the ball of light that was stunned beside her.
Yun Jinyi touched her daughter's cheek, her eyes so soft as if she wanted to use the softest and most harmless cloud fluff in the world to gently wrap the little girl who was covered in thorns and scars.
She did not answer Yunmian's question, but took her somewhat resistant little hand, led her to sit at the small table, and placed the bowl of warm chicken soup in front of her.
"Eat first. After dinner, whatever Mianmian wants to know, mom will tell you in detail."
After saying that, she took out a tissue to help the child wipe away her tears. Seeing her sniffing her nose and burying her head in the bowl in shame, a gentle smile spread in her eyes.
"Aren't you worried about Mianmian?" The system asked secretly on the light screen while Yunmian was eating.
Yun Jinyi shook her head at it, glanced at her daughter who was eating, and lowered her head to type on her mobile phone.
"Don't worry, this is Mianmian, but her soul is damaged, so she will intermittently return to a certain period of time in her memory during the recovery process."
The system looked at this line of words and seemed to be hesitant to speak.
It wanted to ask why it was not included in Mianmian's memory?
The soul binding and the familiarity with Mianmian made it certain that this was indeed Mianmian, but... it was clear that it had completed the mission with Mianmian in every world.
Yun Jinyi seemed to know what it was wondering about. After thinking about it, she continued typing on her phone.
"Mianmian has never occupied anyone else's body or replaced anyone else's life. The Mianmian in every plot of your mission... is her own past experience."
After typing this line, Yun Jinyi's fingers trembled, and then he turned off the phone and stopped communicating with the system.
She hid the guilt and heartache in her heart, and amid the pain in her heart, she raised her eyes and looked quietly and attentively at her daughter who was holding the small bowl and drinking soup obediently under the light.
Perhaps her gaze was too noticeable. Yun Mian stopped, looked at her, then handed the small bowl to her and whispered, "...Mom, are you hungry? I saved some meat for you."
There was a hint of eager anticipation in those clear eyes.
So well-behaved that it makes people feel distressed.
And the system...
As soon as the system saw Yun Jinyi's words, it fell into a huge state of confusion that was difficult to escape.
Did she really mean what she said?
Mianmian does not occupy anyone else’s body, nor does she own anyone else’s life. In every world... in every original plot, that "Mianmian" who dies young and never gets a perfect ending, is she actually herself?
Time and time again, life after life, are the little villains who do not have a good ending in every plot all the same life endings that Mianmian has experienced personally?
Then...how sad and hard it must be for her?
There is no system, no plot, no tasks that must be completed, and mom always leaves early, so every time this short life is about to come to an end, is Mianmian the only child in the world, waiting for death all alone?
After Mianmian died...did anyone collect her body? Did anyone build a small grave for her?
Unconsciously, the system had cried so much that it almost fainted and crashed, but when this thought flashed through its mind, it still masochistically kept flipping through the plot texts of the mission worlds it had read before.
The first small world...Mianmian died beside her mother's grave, and there were no extra words to describe the arrangements after her death.
In the second world, Mianmian jumped down from the high city wall of Xuejing Kingdom, and after her death, she was slandered in history books by the protagonist and remained infamous for eternity.
In the third world, Mianmian could not see her mother who turned into a ghost after her death. She had a hard life in an orphanage due to her autism. Later, when the ghost gate opened on July 15th, she was torn into pieces by hundreds of ghosts and her soul was shattered as she lived in the same dormitory with Yu Anan. She did not even have the chance to reincarnate.
In the fourth world, Mianmian became a member of the control group in the variety show. In the end, she jumped off a tall building while being held by her mother. Together with several other children, she became a brief topic of sighs among netizens.
The fifth world...
Sixth, seventh,...
Including the previous world that just ended, Mianmian went to collect her mother's body, and then was buried in the belly of a strange beast together with her mother's body. In such a vast sea of stars, only Yun Er, a robot, was still foolishly waiting for them to return home.
The system had never felt so heartbroken. Every time it flipped through the plot of a world and saw the text that mentioned Mianmian, it felt so heartbroken that it felt as if it was going to die in the next second.
If so many lives and so many bad endings all have the same Mianmian, then why, when she was bound by herself, was she still the well-behaved and naughty Mianmian who would look up and smile with curved eyebrows?
It is obvious that her soul is so pure that there is not even a trace of darkness!
The system suddenly looked at Yun Jinyi.
Therefore, Mianmian’s soul had actually been damaged a long time ago!
After experiencing one world after another, her soul had already been severely damaged, so in the plot of the previous world, Mianmian became an ordinary person without mental power. Therefore, Mianmian in the first round of this world became an empty shell without a soul!
The connection between me and Mianmian must have been tampered by someone, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to accurately choose Mianmian among millions of people, and the person who tampered with it...
There is no doubt that the system was staring at Yun Jinyi and wanted to rush up and ask clearly.
But when it looked at Mianmian, who was holding up her little face and tilting her head to stare at Yun Jinyi under the light...
It suddenly didn't care about the so-called truth at all.
It just wants to accompany Mianmian, to accompany her in quiet daze, to accompany her in mischief and getting into trouble, to accompany her through the worlds where she had walked through and died, and then rewrite the ending again and again.
So in the long mission world, it is not Mianmian who tries again and again to get close to the protagonist or save her mother.
Instead, it was the mother who helped Mianmian pick up the pieces of herself she had once broken into through one task after another.
Then use these fragments to piece together a complete cotton ball.
As I was writing, I suddenly felt that I should just let things take their own course and write down some of the causes and consequences. For some reason I felt that this was the end of the story, but there is no ending, and the end of this world is still a long way off.
The next chapter should be shorter.
