Jiang Cheng lay reclining on the roof, dressed in simple clothes, his eyes unable to see the stars above.
Because there was a book above his eyes, blocking out the vast sky.
Beside it was a clumsy little robot, holding a warm lamp high in one hand and flipping through the pages at a suitable frequency with the other. Occasionally, when the chain loosened and the lamp wasn't held up properly, the little robot, about the size of a fist, would cough twice and immediately react.
Sit up straight and do your job properly.
In the open space of the courtyard, Gu Qingwan directed numerous small machines to collect the corpse, then shrink it into a ball and bury it in a bottomless pit.
Until she finally finished her work.
She leaped onto the rooftop and landed lightly beside Jiang Cheng, carefully sitting down.
She gazed tenderly at him as he read, one hand supporting her chin.
Her profile was breathtakingly beautiful when the moonlight shone down.
"Why not just implant it directly into your brain?"
“That would make reading pointless, and besides, there’s nothing to do at night,” Jiang Cheng replied.
"Are you really going to let Demuel Jiaxian ascend the throne?"
"Yes, the other two are no good either. On the contrary, this woman is rather stupid. The stupider the leader, the more advantageous it is for us, even though this is just a fake plane."
“Boss…” Gu Qingwan hesitated for a moment, unsure whether she should speak. Her eyes flickered, and she brushed a strand of hair from her temple.
Jiang Cheng immediately sensed it and turned his face to ask, "What's wrong? Just say it."
He can perceive Gu Qingwan's thoughts at will because their minds are united.
But Jiang Cheng didn't do that now because he treated the other person as an individual. For an equal "person," it's a bad thing to casually pry into someone else's mind.
Seeing Jiang Cheng turn around and stare intently at her, Gu Qingwan lowered her eyes and said, "I just feel that if the dream world is a reflection of your inner world, then the trials it presents to you are much richer and more painful. So why do Ke Bing and Zhao Xuerou keep appearing..."
These words were spoken.
Jiang Cheng... was stunned.
Having come this far from being a student at Lanjing University of Science and Technology, and having experienced countless things, big and small, this was the first time he had reacted this way.
Once a person's intelligence reaches a certain level, they become devoid of interest in life.
Because they don't experience as many emotional fluctuations.
But this time Gu Qingwan truly felt it, and her words left Jiang Cheng somewhat speechless.
"You care a lot?" Her voice seemed to come from a distant place, ethereal and melodious.
"I have no idea."
Jiang Cheng pursed his lips and looked away.
Life's journey is finite, and countless people will make mistakes along the way, but they correct their mistakes and move in a better direction, even though the gap in their social status is now like a chasm.
But when he saw Zhao Xuerou and Ke Bing's names on the list of those selected for the Dimensional War in the Lanjing region.
It has to be said.
To be willing to risk one's life to pursue someone.
That's amazing.
Most people can't do it.
Those who proclaim "He is my faith" will flee as far away as possible when the hero's life comes to an end.
Only those who stand by your side and follow you with unwavering will are truly good enough.
What were Ke Bing and Zhao Xuerou thinking during those months in the far north, when they gritted their teeth and endured the cold and physical pain?
Who else could travel tens of thousands of kilometers and be moved to tears the moment they see his face?
A few minutes later, Jiang Cheng chuckled self-deprecatingly.
"I don't want to think about it anymore. I remember I need to go back and see Xiao Li after this world ends. I wonder how she's doing now."
"You avoided it."
"Are you never going to stop?"
"You're getting impatient..."
"Gu Qingwan!"
"Boss, I'm here."
Jiang Cheng suddenly stood up, frowning in annoyance as he stared at her face. Gu Qingwan, however, looked pitiful, seemingly unaware of what she had done wrong.
Forget it, why bother arguing with her?
Jiang Cheng exhaled a breath of stale air.
"I can only say that they were involved in the few experiences I had. The Dream Dimension was created to sever ties with them."
"Did the boss cut ties?"
When asked, Jiang Cheng clicked his tongue in surprise.
He inevitably thought of Zhao Xuerou, who had been bullied in the first plane of existence. By then, she had matured and become a gentle and beautiful woman.
When doing housework, she clips her hair back with a small clip, wears a floral apron, and slippers.
She smiled gently. Hearing Jiang Cheng come out of the room, she quickly turned around and whispered, "The food is almost ready, honey...you should wash your hands."
When she was washing his feet, a strand of her bangs happened to fall on one side of her cheek, and at that moment her face was breathtakingly beautiful.
When she heard that they would finally have a home that belonged to "us", she was so excited that she wanted to hug Jiang Cheng and whisper in his ear a hundred times that she wanted to put several beanbag chairs on the balcony and grow many potted plants.
She has a great figure, but she always covers herself up tightly because she is married and only wants to show her beautiful things to her loved ones.
She was having a hard time, but she kept working hard, dreaming of a bright future.
She declined her boss's invitation to dinner in the evening, and instead went to the supermarket in high heels to buy discounted vegetables. With a delighted look on her face and a smile that crinkled her eyes, she carried scallions, cilantro, and pork—items that seemed out of place with her overall demeanor—and took the elevator to her apartment.
"Honey, I'm home!"
Are you home?
At this moment, the full moon hangs high in the sky, the night is hazy, and a gentle breeze suddenly blows through the distant forest.
Love is silent.
