Chapter 435
When Yun Jinyi entered the room again, she saw the little girl squatting on the balcony holding the flowerpot. There was dirt all around her and a ball of light buried in the flowerpot that kept crying.
Yun Jinyi: “…”
She paused for a moment as she entered the door, and then she came over. The child who had quietly done something naughty had already stood up, holding the flower pot.
His hands were covered in mud, and his clothes were soiled. He held the flowerpot, looked up at her with his round eyes, and looked righteously at her.
He doesn't look afraid of being beaten at all.
Not only was she not afraid, she took a glance at it, then ran to the bathroom with the flowerpot in her arms, ready to water the "light ball seeds" planted in it.
The system howled in grief and anger, like a pig being slaughtered.
Yun Jinyi followed behind her daughter, taking one step which was the distance Yun Mian needed to run two steps. Then she stood at the door of the bathroom, watching the child leisurely as she held the flowerpot and struggled hard with the induction water outlet.
Yunmian waved his hand and came out of the water.
She moved over holding the flowerpot and the water stopped.
Yunmian put down the flowerpot, stood on tiptoe and waved her hand, and water came out.
She moved over again with the flowerpot in her arms, and the water stopped again.
After trying several times without giving up, Yun Mian pursed her lips and walked out holding the flower pot without a drop of water on it.
As a result, when he turned around, he saw Yun Jinyi's unconcealed smile on his face.
Yun Mian glared at her fiercely and became even angrier.
What are you laughing at? It's not funny at all!
"You're lucky." Yun Mian dug the ball of light out of the flowerpot and let go to let it escape from her.
But no matter how you look at her, she seems to be filled with unhappiness.
"Mianmian, come here." Yun Jinyi was still standing at the bathroom door without moving.
Yunmian glanced at her, turned around with her back facing her, pretending that she had no ears and didn't hear anything.
She is not my mother, why should I listen to her?
And if you let me pass, I will? I am not an obedient child!
It would be better to piss her off to death!
Yun Mian's evil thoughts were bubbling in her mind, and she even imitated the actions of her so-called biological father, crossing her short legs over the other leg, clasping her arms around her chest and shaking her legs.
"Do you know how dirty you are now?" A woman's voice sounded behind me, slowly and calmly: "You didn't wash your face or brush your teeth before dinner, your hair is a mess, and you went to play with the mud in the flowerpot. Now you are sitting there shaking your legs, and every time you shake, there are lumps of dirt falling from your body on the ground."
Yunmian's movements gradually stiffened as she spoke.
In the extraordinarily quiet atmosphere after she finished speaking, Yun Mian slowly and stiffly lowered her head, and saw at a glance that a lot of mud that she had shaken off her body had fallen on the clean, new white carpet, and it looked too conspicuous on the clean and fluffy blanket.
Yunmian actually doesn’t care that much about hygiene. After all, in such a small village, in such a deformed and absurd home, it is already very difficult for Yunmian to live well.
She wore gray, dirty old clothes every day, wore shoes that she was reluctant to throw away even when they were torn, and took messy baths and washed her hair with cold water... Yunmian could always see the gap between herself and those players, so she knew very well that she must not be a clean child.
But she had seen in the mirror last night and this morning what the body she was in looked like.
She was clean, fair and tender, the look that only the favored children in the city would have. Even her "little brother" at home, who was so favored, would never look like that.
Yunmian lowered her head and looked away from the mud between the carpet fluff. She noticed her own dirty hands after digging in the dirt. She subconsciously shrank back, and then she saw her clean clothes stained with dirt...
There is also a ball of light at the corner of the table next to it, which is also dirty and covered in mud.
Yunmian stood up with his head down.
Like a puppy that has lost a fight and is depressed, with its ears drooping, it walks slowly and leisurely towards the bathroom door.
Before she came closer, Yun Jinyi said, "Bring the stool along."
Yun Mian looked up and wanted to yell at her, but looking at her scrutinizing gaze, she gritted her teeth, turned around obediently, picked up the small stool and held it in her arms.
There's nothing we can do about it. It's her fault. Children who are in the wrong are never so confident.
The bathroom door is closed.
The system looked at its dirty self on the light screen, wanting to say something but stopping itself. Finally, it could only fly downstairs to the water outlet system for watering the flowers and wash itself clean like Mianmian.
It has no choice, because the host and the host mother don't care about its life or death. A system that no one wants must learn to be self-reliant.
In the bathroom, Yun Mian stood naked in the shower, squinting her eyes and refusing to close them even when the water was flowing into her eyes.
She squeezed her eyes uncomfortably several times, but still tried hard to see clearly the person who was sitting on a small stool and holding the shower head to wash her hair and take a bath.
"I can wash it myself." The child still couldn't help but say: "I don't want your help!"
Yun Jinyi ignored her. She squeezed some shampoo and rubbed the foam onto the child's wet hair. Then she took her hand and put it on top of her head: "Rub it yourself and spread the foam on the top of your head."
Yunmian: “…”
So annoying.
With an unhappy face and pouting lips, Yun Mian still raised her hands and tried to rub her head. She didn't know if she had made bubbles, but she smelled the fragrance of the bubbles and saw them slowly flying down from her head, and then did not break for a long time in the shower room filled with mist and hot air.
Yunmian's eyes lit up slightly.
She had seen this before, but it was made with soapy water at home, and she and her sister could only watch at it helplessly. This was definitely not a toy that the two girls could own.
Thinking of this, Yun Mian seemed to be bewitched by the small bubble. She stopped rubbing her hair and half-knelt over. She dipped her slender fingers in water and poked it lightly. Her fingers sank into the space inside the bubble, but the bubble still did not burst.
The surface of the bubble was glittering and colorful, and it was unknown what substance was rotating. Yun Mian tilted her head and stared at it until it broke naturally.
Yunmian's mood suddenly became a little better.
She didn't know what was going on, maybe she felt that... something that she could only watch others have but couldn't touch before suddenly appeared in front of her in a better and more beautiful way.
The little girl in a good mood seemed to have finally become a little more obedient. After the fragrant shampoo foam on her head and the shower gel on her body were rinsed off with hot water, she stepped on the small stool where Yun Jinyi had just sat, and looked at herself in the mirror with a hair drying cap on her head and a blanket wrapped around her body. She couldn't help but look around and secretly glance at the person behind her.
When she washed her hair and took a shower, her body got quite wet, but she didn't seem to care at all. She was holding a humming object in her palm and doing something unknown.
"This is called a hair dryer." As if catching her gaze, even though Yunmian quickly looked away, the woman's gentle voice rang in her ears: "It's for blowing your hair. If you feel your scalp is burned, remember to tell me."
After saying that, the hair dryer cap on Yunmian's head was taken off, and the next second the warm air from the hair dryer blew her half-dry hair into a mess.
For the first time, Yunmian learned that it is possible to blow dry hair quickly after washing it, instead of having wet hair sticking coldly to the scalp and neck in autumn and winter. Even when there is sunshine, she always catches a cold and feels uncomfortable for a long time after washing her hair.
"Okay, go to the closet and get the top yellow clothes and put them on." Yun Jinyi stopped blow-drying the child, ruffled the child's soft and fluffy hair, and moved aside to let her leave.
Yunmian remained obedient.
She didn't want to, but wrapped in the bath towel that wrapped herself up many times, Yun Mian felt that she couldn't do anything even if she wanted to cause trouble.
Yun Jinyi also changed her clothes.
Yunmian discovered it as soon as she turned her head.
She was also wearing yellow clothes, and the patterns on their clothes were exactly the same!
Yun Mian's little face suddenly fell.
Then he raised his hands and began to take off his clothes.
She didn't want to wear the same clothes as the other person. That stupid Guangqiu even said it was mother-daughter outfit or parent-child outfit. Yun Mian didn't think she should call the other person mom at all!
But she was small after all, and her early winter clothes were all furry long-sleeved, so before she could take them off, Yun Jinyi reached out and held her down.
"Let me go! I don't want to wear the same clothes as you!" Yun Mian's face flushed and he glared at her in a very corrupt manner.
Yun Jinyi looked at her angry eyes and said calmly, "But the other clothes don't belong to you now."
Yunmian’s struggle paused.
"Come on, I'll take you out to have a look." Yun Jinyi stood up and walked in front.
He neither held her hand nor hugged her.
Yun Mian stood where she was, gazing at her tall back with hatred, her teeth almost biting the soft flesh on her cheek until it bled. But seeing that person really walked out without stopping to wait for her, she clenched her fists and followed in silence.
She is not my mother!!!
Yun Mian once again warned herself fiercely in her heart.
The world outside and the world in the city.
Even the various types of landscape trees trimmed in the roadside flower beds were enough to make Yunmian dazzled.
She was like a child from the old times who had strayed into a new world. Everything she saw was new to her, but she also felt a bit of fear.
Because she didn't understand, she didn't know what it was, what it was used for, and whether it would hurt herself.
Everything here, even the pedestrians passing by with bags or leading their pet dogs, are extremely unfamiliar to Yunmian.
She looked at everything here carefully, and her footsteps unconsciously followed closely behind Yun Jinyi, with most of her body hidden. Especially when she met someone walking towards her from the opposite side, Yun Mian would subconsciously tense her body.
Are these all NPCs?
Yunmian didn’t know what NPCs were before, but after reincarnation so many times, she vaguely knew that NPCs were people who were trapped in a world and had to follow the plot, while players were people who came in from outside this world. They would have quests, explore maps, and interact with NPCs in many ways...
Yun Mian didn’t know whether she could be considered a player or not, but whether she was a player or an NPC, they were beings she would be wary of deep down.
So she subconsciously stayed close to Yun Jinyi along the way, even though she refused to acknowledge the other party's identity. Unconsciously, Yun Mian didn't know when the other party was holding her hand, and her steps forward were not as hesitant as before.
Yun Jinyi actually had no purpose in bringing Yun Mian out.
There isn't even a fixed destination.
There were villas all around here, so Yun Jinyi took the child and walked slowly on the sidewalk, letting Yun Mian look at this strange world in amazement with her clear eyes.
"Can I touch it?" This was the first question Yunmian asked her after she came out.
Yun Jinyi lowered her head as the child was pulling her sleeve, and following the direction of the child's finger, she saw a bunch of roses blooming from behind the iron railings and swaying in the autumn wind.
"Is it okay?" Yun Mian looked up and asked her again.
Yun Jinyi looked at the colors reflected in her daughter's eyes, loosened her hand, and watched the child trot towards the bouquet of flowers.
In the mountains, there are only wild flowers growing all over the hillsides. Yunmian has never seen this kind of flower before. Its petals are layered, and the fragrance is overwhelming when you get close to it.
The child stretched out her hand and touched it carefully. The flower trembled slightly and swayed in the wind, as if saying hello to her with a smile.
Yunmian sniffed the pleasant fragrance of the flower and squatted in front of it, feeling reluctant to go any further.
What if I never meet such a beautiful little flower again?
Yunmian didn’t know what was in the wider world farther away, but she now felt that this little flower was the most beautiful along the way.
She wanted to squat here and guard it.
Yun Jinyi stood behind her daughter and asked her gently, "Does Mianmian want to grow flowers?"
"I can't." Yun Mian stared at Yue Ji, her tone not as irritable as before, and she said calmly: "I don't grow flowers, I'm afraid I will kill them, and I can only be here for a short time, I don't want to leave behind what belongs to me."
If she really has flowers of her own at that time, Yun Mian is sure that she will destroy them all before leaving.
Even if it is your own flower, if you have no way to take it away and protect it, it will die with you.
Yunmian suddenly felt that this flower was not so beautiful anymore.
She stood up, no longer looking at the flower, but walked forward quietly with her head down.
She already knew that there was no danger in walking on such a road, so she didn't need to hide or hold hands anymore.
But Yunmian's good mood suddenly fell to the ground.
She was tired and stopped, and there happened to be a chair nearby for rest.
There was the faint sound of children's laughter in her ears. Yun Mian looked in the direction of the sound and saw a group of children screaming, chasing and playing in the playground from afar.
Yunmian quickly looked away.
Those were all things she had never seen, and all life she had never experienced.
Yun Mian didn't want to watch or listen, so she grabbed the ball of light that had squatted on her shoulder at some point and forced it to tell her the story of this world.
After hearing what Chen Yueyue said, Yun Mian looked at the mottled shadows of the trees on the ground beneath his feet with a somewhat dazed look.
She felt as if she was Chen Yueyue from another world.
Now, just like Jiang Yao, I was reborn in a body that did not belong to me.
Then... being a very bad kid, driven by jealousy and greed, hurting people who are better off than you, hurting people who have not hurt you, and then achieving your own goals.
But Yunmian didn't know what her purpose was.
Her only purpose before she came here was to kill the mother of this world.
But she failed after she came here, and she heard from the system that the other party in that world did not really abandon her and leave as she imagined. Instead, he reincarnated again and again like her, and finally died quietly in torture and pain.
Chen Yueyue did not have a good ending in her first reincarnation.
I have been trapped in the cycle of reincarnation time and time again and cannot struggle.
Chen Yueyue is the villain, what about myself?
Am I a villain too?
At least for this ball of light who is always bullied and cries, for Yun Jinyi and other Mianmian, I, Yun Mian... am the villain who ruined their relationship, right?
Yun Mian didn't want to think too much, but she had long lost control of her thoughts. She clearly hated her own existence, and was constantly wavering between affirmation and denial. She didn't think Chen Yueyue's ending was good or bad, so she didn't know whether what she did was right or wrong.
Is there anything wrong with greed?
Is it wrong to be jealous?
Why do others have it but I can’t?
Why can others live so well while I have to be trapped in hell for life after life?
Why are there so many unfairnesses between the protagonist and the villain from the very beginning?
If they were at the same starting point... would the protagonist still be the protagonist, and the villain still be the villain?
Yun Mian's messy head caused her a dull pain. Yun Jinyi noticed the change in his daughter's expression, frowned slightly, turned sideways and picked her up from the stool into his arms, ignoring her slight struggle, holding her and helping her slowly rub the stagnant pain on both sides of her temples.
The sunlight shone through the leaves and fell on the two people in spots. The system recorded and saved this scene, and then scanned Mianmian's body for examination at the request of the host mother.
"There's nothing wrong with the body." The system said doubtfully, "There's nothing wrong with the brain either."
Yun Jinyi held the child who had unconsciously fainted in her arms with a frown on her face, and asked the driver to pick her up while she said to the equally worried system, "It's okay. It's probably because she reincarnated too many times in that rule game. Her memories are repetitive and complicated, which is beyond the burden this body can bear."
This also means that the existence time of this cotton will be greatly shortened.
The system squatted on Mianmian's shoulder, and Mianmian closed her eyes and tilted her head to sleep in her mother's shoulder.
The system felt that Mianmian’s memory was full of thorns, but after she fell asleep, she became so obedient that it made people feel distressed.
Carrying the memory of reincarnation after reincarnation, dying again and again and waking up in the same memory again and again... Mianmian must be very desperate and painful, right?
She had never even seen what the flowers and trees outside looked like.
When she was at home before, her eyes hardly ever left the things that belonged to her memories. Although her eyes were full of destructive hostility, she still restrained herself and just reached out and touched them lightly without moving again.
When filling the flowerpot with soil and burying the system, the system heard her say that she wanted to grow another system and bring it to her world.
Because only another system can once again establish a soul-binding with Mianmian's memory, and then it can really be "taken away" by her and become something that completely belongs to her.
Just now, Mianmian said in her heart that she and Chen Yueyue were the same child, and were villains who would not have a good death in the plot.
But Chen Yueyue would be driven by jealousy to hurt innocent people, while Yun Mian herself didn't even dare to touch a flower on the roadside.
She didn't even know how pitiful she looked squatting in front of the flower.
It's like a stray puppy seeing food thrown into the trash can in a store. It's obviously very eager for it, but refuses to move forward.
Both Chen Yueyue and Yunmian are greedy and jealous, but even if Yunmian is tortured to the point of madness, she will still try to stay sober and restrained.
Chen Yueyue would kill a child because of greed.
Yun Mian, however, would only reach out and touch it cautiously out of greed, and would never do it a second time.
The system feels that the term "being too stubborn" as used by humans is really the most appropriate to describe Mianmian right now.
She is denying herself, over and over again. Even if all the beauty and love are right in front of her and within her reach...she will only touch it like she treats that little flower, reaching out her hand to touch it once and never touching it a second time.
She wouldn't own anything, just like she wouldn't grow flowers.
Because she is afraid that the flowers will die, and she is also afraid that the beauty and love she possesses will disappear quickly.
Yunmian seemed to have fallen into a new cycle.
She struggled hard to wake up, but the intense pain in her brain forced her to curl up in sadness. She struggled again and again, and failed again and again.
Until she heard a familiar voice, faintly ringing in her ears.
She couldn't even hear clearly what the voice said, but Yun Mian seemed to be injected with new life and actually forced her eyes open.
Then he saw a ball of light flying in the air, and a woman with a frown on her face reaching out to touch her forehead.
The dry and warm temperature of the palm made Yunmian look at the other person.
"Mianmian is awake!" The system suddenly stood up, flew down and took the initiative to stick to her.
Yun Jinyi and his daughter looked at each other with a dazed and wary gaze. After a moment, he withdrew his hand and said gently, "Don't think too much. If there is anything you want to know or ask, just tell me. I won't lie to you."
Yun Mian listened to her words, but her brain hadn't yet reacted.
The vague pain made her feel a little uncomfortable. Even though she heard clearly what the system and Yun Jinyi said, Yun Mian just felt that her body was heavy and her head was even heavier.
Perhaps, she now does not seem to have grown a head, but rather a weight weighing dozens of kilograms?
Yun Mian was embarrassed by her own fantasy for a moment, then looked away, no longer meeting Yun Jinyi's gaze.
She also didn't know how to get along with the other person.
Yunmian has never had a mother. She can't even say the word "mother", let alone get along with her like a real mother and daughter.
Yunmian was not prepared to accept the other party and reconcile with them.
She even secretly thought in her head: How nice it would be if I could fall asleep and never wake up again. Then I wouldn't have to face that annoying and noisy ball, nor would I have to face this strange and complicated person.
But she pursed her lips, still unable to ignore the slight joy in her heart when she woke up and saw herself and the ball of light again.
In the next chapter, I will plant flowers for my cotton ball!
