Chapter 442
The system looked at this situation and didn't know what to do for a moment. It could only fly aside and look at Yun Jinyi worriedly.
Yun Jinyi looked at her daughter curled up at the foot of the bed and felt a little more powerless.
She tried to walk towards Mianmian.
But the little guy shrank back and seemed to prefer falling to the ground than being touched by her.
Yun Jinyi could only withdraw his hand temporarily.
The room was silent.
The little doll secretly glanced up at her and pursed its lips, not understanding why the dollmaker was looking at her like that.
Is she blaming me for taking up the body that was meant for another puppet?
But I, I didn’t mean it…
The little doll buried its head sullenly, as if this could pretend to be dead completely and make the other party ignore its current existence.
Yun Jinyi was standing not far away, looking at Mianmian who was curled up into a small ball. In her confused and stunned eyes, she asked her softly, "Do you want to go out and look at the night sky?"
This was the only wish of the little doll to wake up again.
So even though I know it’s a bit inappropriate, it’s still easy to be moved by the little doll.
She finally raised her head and spoke carefully to the dollmaker: "Are you going to kick me out?"
Although he said these pitiful words, he could not hide the sparkling desire in his eyes.
Yun Jinyi's eyebrows softened helplessly, and she said softly, "I won't chase you away, but if you want to go out and take a look, I can go for a walk with you."
After that, she added: "It's late at night now. It's very dangerous for a child of your age to go out alone."
Successfully stopped the little puppet from blurting out the words that he wanted to go by himself.
Little Doll: "...Okay then."
She was very obedient and compromised.
Perhaps it was the sky outside the window that seemed so close that made her heart beat fast, or perhaps it was the gentle and harmless attitude of the doll maker that made her relax a little.
But when she sat on the edge of the bed and saw the doll maker coming over and holding her ankles to put shoes on her, the little doll panicked again.
She tried to pull her legs back and said in panic, "I, I can put it on myself!"
Even though she never wore it!
Yun Jinyi paused, put down his shoes and stood aside, watching the child slide off the bed, sit on the ground and try to put on his shoes.
In fact, the little puppet can't even walk, let alone put on shoes.
She even wore her shoes backwards.
But the little doll didn't know that this was the wrong way around, so even if it was a little uncomfortable, as long as it was on her feet, she felt that she should be wearing it.
So the little doll, wearing the awkward shoes on his left and right feet, looked at the doll maker, dignifiedly refused the other party's help, and walked forward on his own.
The next second, his left foot tripped over his right foot and he fell down with a thud.
Yunmian thought she was going to break into pieces, but was caught steadily by the dollmaker.
"Let me carry you out." Yun Jinyi took the opportunity to rub his daughter's head, and without waiting for the little doll to say anything to refuse, he immediately carried her out.
So the stubborn refusal that the little doll was about to say was secretly swallowed back by himself.
She no longer paid attention to these little things, but instead paid attention to the murals and lights in the corridor as she was carried outside. When a cold evening breeze blew, she shivered and could not help looking outside with joy.
What does the world outside look like?
The little doll had never seen one before. She had only seen another life doll watching TV at home and saw all kinds of humans, machines and dolls on it.
But she knew nothing about the outside world, not even what the sky looked like.
When the doll maker carried her outside the house and walked under the vast starry night sky, the little doll looked up at the bright and twinkling stars in the night sky, her eyes full of amazement.
Is this the night sky?
"What is that?" She stretched out her hand and pointed at the round, bright moon in the sky, feeling both inquisitive and curious.
Yun Jinyi raised her head along with the little doll and replied in a gentle voice: "That's called the moon, and it only rises at night."
"Then there is no moon during the day?" The little doll tilted its head with a confused look in its eyes.
She really had no common sense and knew nothing about either world. After all, she was trapped in a puppet from birth to death, and the puppet was trapped in a small window. The fact that she could speak a lot was the result of her hard work in learning.
"There will be sunshine during the day." Yun Jinyi carried the little girl who was almost stunned by the sky and walked to the other side. As they walked, she said to her, "The sun is brighter and warmer than the moon, but if it rains, the sun will not appear."
The little puppet tried hard to absorb this common sense, nodded as if he understood, and then when his peripheral vision inadvertently swept over, the whole puppet was stunned by the moonlight and the garden full of roses under the night lights.
So beautiful.
It's not that she hasn't seen flowers before. In her display window, the doll artist has flowers made of special materials arranged. There are flowers on other dolls as well, but those flowers are extremely rigid. They are just placed there stiffly. They don't emit a gentle and distant fragrance, and they don't sway gently with the night breeze.
Every flower here is so vibrant.
It was a beautiful scene the little doll had never seen before.
She stared at them blankly for a long while before sniffing the lingering fragrance. She turned around and asked the figure maker, "Are they all your flowers?"
This figure maker is so rich!
Unexpectedly, the figure maker smiled and shook his head, "No, these are all your flowers."
Little puppet: “?”
An invisible question mark slowly appeared above the child's head, and the confusion in his eyes could not be hidden.
What do you mean, my flower?
She has never been to this world, how could there be flowers?
Or... is it the flower of another doll?
The little doll could easily associate it with another doll, Yunmian, who was supposed to appear in this body. She puffed her cheeks and emphasized once again with extra seriousness: "I am not your daughter, Yunmian. Don't make the mistake again!"
After saying this, the little doll felt that the flowers in the garden didn’t seem so stunning anymore.
So she raised her head again and stared at the night sky with concentration.
The stars were twinkling, and Yunmian also blinked gently.
"Can I pick them?" She stretched out her hand and grabbed at the sky.
I only grabbed my hands full of cold air, and perhaps a few wisps of the fragrance of roses.
Although she didn't catch anything, the little doll was not disappointed. She looked up at the sky full of stars. Even though her face was chilled by the night wind, she was reluctant to look away for a long time.
She once heard the puppet named Yunmian say in communication with other puppets that the source of the puppets' hearts might be the stars in the sky. Every time a star falls, a puppet will be able to obtain pure crystal source and awaken powerful talents and skills.
At that time, the little doll secretly fantasized in the window that if another star fell from the sky, maybe he would get a heart, and then he could move and talk to the doll master like the life doll named Yunmian.
This way I can tell the doll maker a lot of things, tell her that I have been with her in the doll for a long, long time, tell her that I also want to be her daughter, and tell her that I also want to have a nice name.
But those were just the little doll's naive fantasies.
Across a world, she finally saw the stars in the mouth of the life puppet.
If so many falling stars could become the doll's hearts, then there wouldn't be anyone trapped in their bodies like the idol themselves, unable to do anything, right?
They will definitely be very happy.
The little doll slightly curved her eyes, the night sky and the stars were reflected in her eyes, and the fine light and shadow made her look less dull and wooden.
She saw the sky.
I also saw the moon and stars.
There are also many vibrant roses swaying in the wind.
The little doll turned around and looked at the doll master who had been quietly accompanying him the whole time.
The little doll's eyes reflected the other person's expression, but she did not feel any resentment or disappointment or loneliness at this moment. Instead, her eyes were curved with gratitude.
"Thank you for taking me out to see the sky."
The little doll smiled obediently and said softly: "Although you recognized me wrongly, you didn't chase me away immediately. You are a kind person."
"So I won't occupy your daughter's body for too long."
The little doll reached out and gently touched the light ball that landed on the doll master's shoulder, then said to them, "Thank you, I will return the body to her now."
There is no need for the doll master and the light ball to chase me away.
The little doll looked at the doll maker and the ball of light with clear smiles in its eyes, without any intimacy, love, or reluctance.
It seemed like she came here just to look at the sky and the stars, and then she could leave without any regrets.
She really no longer cared about the doll-maker who created her, nor did she care about the other party's daughter named Yunmian. She accidentally entered this body and after fulfilling her only wish, she could leave without any reluctance.
Yun Jinyi quietly held her daughter in her arms as she fell into a deep sleep right after she finished talking.
System Yunkong was stunned by Mianmian's decisiveness and aloofness.
After the child fell asleep, Yun Jinyi was carrying her daughter back home when Yun Kong hurriedly caught up with her and asked her anxiously, "What happened? Mianmian... Mianmian just woke up, why did she fall asleep again? Did she really leave? But she didn't leave before..."
Yunkong didn't understand why this happened.
Mianmian had only woken up twice, and both times were extremely short, so why didn’t she stay a little longer?
It had imagined many times what Mianmian in this memory would do after waking up.
Maybe Mianmian will pick up weapons to hurt her mother like Mianmian in the rule game, maybe Mianmian will indignantly question why her mother loves other dolls, maybe Mianmian will be extreme or very sad...
It thought of many things, but it never expected that Mianmian didn't even have the last bit of affection for her mother.
She treated him as distantly as a friendly stranger.
Thinking carefully, from the time I woke up in the morning and fell asleep again until now, Mianmian has not even called me "Mom".
She didn't have any name for Yun Jinyi at all.
The thing she said most often was that she had recognized the wrong person and that she was not Yunmian.
Apart from this, the most intimate words were probably the thank you he said to Yun Jinyi just now, right?
The more Yunkong thought about it, the more panicked he became.
It doesn't understand why the Mianmian in this world has such a big change in attitude, especially when she was hugging her mother and saying she loved her before going to bed last night, but when she woke up today, she became a stranger that she needed to be on guard against...
Yunkong carefully observed the host mother's expression and felt that she must be feeling very uncomfortable.
But it still asked all the questions it wanted to ask in one breath.
"Please say something. Why didn't you explain it clearly to Mianmian just now? If you had explained it clearly, Mianmian would not have fallen asleep so quickly!"
This is the thing that Yunkong can’t understand the most.
After Mianmian in the memory of the world in the Mingming Rule Game wakes up, the host mother will default to letting her explain to Mianmian what happened in that world.
Then why didn’t Mianmian in this puppet world allow herself to speak after she woke up?
Humans are so complex, fickle and unpredictable. Yunkong, faced with his somewhat tangled operating data, couldn't help but doubt whether he was a human being in his previous life.
Yun Jinyi leaned over and put her sleeping daughter on the bed. She pulled the quilt over her and covered her with it. Then, after a moment's silence, she answered the system's question.
"Because in that world, Mianmian died twice."
In the stunned silence of the system, Yun Jinyi's voice was so indifferent that it seemed as if there was not even a hint of sadness in it.
"The first time she died, I gave her name and appearance to another doll. I called that doll Mianmian, asked her to be my daughter, asked her to call me mom, and signed a contract with her. I poured all the care and love that should have been used on Mianmian into another doll of unknown origin. Mianmian witnessed it all from beginning to end. She even saw every scene of me making that doll day and night in the studio."
"The second time she died, I discovered that the doll was not her. But at that time, Mianmian had no heart and no energy. Her soul was already very weak. She must have fallen into a deep sleep for a long time. She happened to be slightly awake when I picked her up. Then... she died quietly in my arms."
"From birth to death, I never noticed her existence. All my love and care were given to another life doll by mistake. Even the name and facial features that originally belonged to Mianmian were given to her. It was not until the moment when Mianmian died that I realized she had existed."
Yun Jinyi took a deep breath and sat on the bed, looking down at the little girl sleeping peacefully with her eyes closed. She ignored the dull pain in her heart and smiled self-deprecatingly, "So in that world, her feelings for me had already worn away bit by bit. Even if she was willing to wake up in this body this time, it was just to go out and see the sky."
There is not even a slight possibility for her as a mother.
Yunkong: "...Then, what should we do now?"
It flew around aimlessly, stopped in mid-air, and whispered, "If the Mianmian in this memory really will never wake up again, will her soul be damaged?"
In fact, after listening to Yun Jinyi's words, Yunkong already had some understanding of why Mianmian was so distant, but he was still worried that Mianmian's soul would be difficult to complete because of this change.
“No.” Yun Jinyi shook her head and stated calmly: “This is her only regret. Even if she never wakes up, it will not affect her soul.”
On the contrary, the person who really feels regretful and unwilling should be Yun Jinyi.
As a mother, she recognized the wrong daughter and transferred her daughter's life to another child, leaving her daughter to watch helplessly as she cared for and loved the other child...
Yun Jinyi slowly clenched the fingers hanging by her side, then loosened them weakly after a while.
never mind.
So what if there are so many regrets and reluctances?
She didn't even dare to explain to her daughter what had happened in that world.
Yun Jinyi slowly relaxed her body and leaned against the head of the bed, lowering her eyes to look at the unclear lines on her palm. She could tell at a glance the related destiny contained in the lines on her palm.
A life of wealth, no children, and a long life.
If it is said that the feelings of Mianmian in the puppet world for her were completely consumed by her, then in the first round of this world, Mianmian never appeared from beginning to end.
After the last world ended, she chose to disappear and abandon herself.
The little one who had always been following behind her and calling her mom, after she died young and had an unhappy end time and time again, all her love and affection, including her original soul... were completely wiped out.
The only remaining frail soul, when found by me, immediately abandoned me and fled to another world.
If he hadn't acted quickly to protect his daughter, who was about to rush into another small world, she would have been crushed by the world consciousness and her soul would have been completely destroyed.
But even so, she was destined not to live long after being conceived again.
Just like a curse, even though she was the last wisp of soul left, Mianmian only lived to the age of five in that modern world.
I haven't even had a single day of healthy and relaxing time.
But this little fool, after she chose to give up all her past memories along with her soul, the only wisp of soul left...actually persisted in clinging to herself who had caused her to end up like that.
Yun Jinyi now had the opportunity to relive all the previous worlds with his daughter.
The fragments of her soul were scattered in those worlds, floating in the void, and were gradually accepted and nurtured as the worlds operated.
But just like the curse that Mianmian would not live to adulthood, when she arrived in the interstellar world, the world line was obviously different, but in the end Mianmian's soul was once again seriously damaged.
She was seriously injured for the second time. If it weren't for the protection of the system and the mother tree in her body, and if the mirage beast hadn't bound its soul to hers in order to have a chance of survival, she would probably have been left with nothing but an empty shell.
Yun Jinyi hurried to this world, and as expected, the body he was using did not have a daughter named "Yun Mian".
In the first week, Yunmian gradually gave up her name, identity, and soul in the pursuit...
In the second week, Yun Jinyi picked up the things thrown away by her daughter one by one and put them on her, but at this point, she still failed to protect them.
So what if he was unwilling? What if he felt regretful? The only thing Yun Jinyi could do was to accept the bitter fruit his daughter had endured in the first round, to accept her hatred, anger, fear, and...ignorance.
The little doll Mianmian is not called Mianmian.
The little doll didn't love her dollmaker mother either.
So after the little doll vowed not to steal other dolls' names and identities again, she also gave up the love of the doll maker whom she had always longed for but could not get.
The little doll is just a little doll, it has no name and cannot walk. Its only thought before death was that it rained after it was thrown away. Its only regret after death was that it did not see the sky with its own eyes.
Now, she has seen the brilliant night sky, can put on her own shoes, can raise her hands to touch the moon and stars in the sky, and has seen the roses in full bloom in the garden.
Her only regret was filled, and the little doll left sensibly.
Don’t steal other people’s names, don’t use other people’s bodies, don’t steal other people’s mothers, and don’t rashly name other people’s systems.
So when she came to this strange world, she never called the doll master "Mom", emphasized again and again that she was not Yunmian, did not eat a single bite of the doll master's food or drink a sip of her water, and even when she was held in arms to look at the night sky and the stars, she never indulged in the warm embrace that did not belong to her.
The child looked particularly well-behaved after falling asleep. The warm quilt soon warmed her cheeks. She curled up in the quilt on her side, leaving only a small back view in the quilt for the doll artist.
The little doll thought that he would soon return to the darkness.
And she did go back.
But she heard the same cheerful and lively voice again.
The little puppet knew very well that it was the voice of a human cub, which was completely different from the way a puppet pronounced it, and was more energetic and full of life.
The voice seemed to have not expected her to come back so soon, and asked her in surprise how many days she had spent outside.
The little doll stopped, recalled, and answered obediently: "I only saw a day and a night."
This is her unique way of counting.
The voice seemed to move closer, curiously asking her why she came back so soon.
"Why don't you stay there for a few more days? There are many fun things in that world..."
The little doll shook his head: "No, I don't want to be a thief. That's not my body."
"How could that be?" The other party raised his voice in surprise: "That's your body! It's mine, it belongs to all of us, who else can you give it to? Are you an idiot Mianmian?!"
The little doll was thought to be called a fool.
She stood there, staring at the darkness helplessly, her eyes reddening a little bit. She suppressed the sudden grievance and whispered, "But... they are all waiting for Yunmian, and I am not Yunmian..."
I am not the child they love and expect!
Why are you scolding me?
I have returned my body, am I still that bad thief? !
"...But, your name is Yunmian." Another voice said softly: "You are Yunmian, and the other child is the bad thief who stole your name and life. That is your body, your ball of light, your mother, and everything should have belonged to you."
The little doll seemed to not understand what she said, or perhaps it was stunned. It stood there blankly until its own figure gradually disappeared in the darkness. Then she blinked gently.
"Is what you said... true?" she asked in a low voice, as if afraid of disturbing something.
"Of course!" Another voice did not disappear, but instead said angrily: "If I knew where the thief who stole our names is, I would beat her up so hard that she would cry!"
The little doll tilted its head, smiled softly, and said softly with its eyes curved: "It's okay~"
I saw beautiful flowers, bright stars and a round moon. I also saw a very noisy ball of light and a very gentle dollmaker.
I have no regrets.
Let me tell you in advance that my mother-in-law was diagnosed with cancer and just left the hospital yesterday. I should go back to my hometown to take care of her for a while tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. So I may not be able to guarantee daily updates next month. I will probably maintain about 3,000 words a day. A lot has happened during this period of time, and I may be a little exhausted, so I hope you can forgive me for reducing the number of updates next month.
Thanks to the little angel who irrigated the nutrient solution:
110 bottles;
20 bottles of Fangfei;
Also picked 3 bottles;
2 bottles of Yansisheng, Yuhan, and Weixun;
