Chapter 67: Waking Up from a Dream
"Ding! Favorability with capture target Ichie Tokihiko +4, currently 83/90."
Lin Chuchu woke up to the system announcement. As soon as she opened her eyes, she quickly looked around. There was a round bed, red gauze curtains, and various instruments...
She woke up and was no longer in the dream. She was about to see her parents, so couldn't they give her even a few seconds?
Thinking of this, she felt so sad that she closed her eyes tightly. An unprecedented pain wrapped around her heart, her ears were buzzing, and everything around her seemed to be silent.
Jiang Shiyan was awakened by the sound of sobbing. When he stood up, he saw a slender and trembling figure. His heart seemed to be grasped by an invisible hand, and it hurt slightly. He stretched out his arms and hugged the person in his arms and asked softly, "Why are you crying?"
Lin Chuchu kept shaking her head, feeling so miserable that she couldn't speak. Her face was covered with tear marks and her chest felt swollen.
This state lasted for a few minutes before she recovered. Although she was exhausted, she became more determined to go home.
He took two deep breaths and said haggardly, "It's already daybreak. I'm...hungry. Let's go back to school to eat. I want to eat steamed dumplings."
The boy kissed her cheek, "Okay."
After they left the hotel, Lin Chuchu thought of another important matter. "Someone posted intimate photos of the two of us on Tieba. If Sister Qingxue saw them, would there be some trouble?"
In her dream, she already knew that Jiang Qingxue had no idea that her brother was adopted, but she didn't know what the real situation was.
The boy was silent for a moment before he said, "I understand." He smiled obediently and said, "This is a very simple matter."
The post is dark.
Lin Chuchu didn't say anything else. She guessed that Jiang Shiyan was more anxious than her.
In the taxi, she pretended to close her eyes and rest, but in fact she had another question in her mind, and she was communicating with the system, "Why does my world exist in my dream?"
"Dreams are based on the mental fluctuations of the target. If the host's mental fluctuations are abnormally high, he may be captured."
She must have had abnormal mental fluctuations because she suddenly learned about her biological siblings, which overturned her worldview and was then captured in the dream. Therefore, the final scene would be transferred to the world she was in. Then... if she tries to stimulate herself the next time she enters the dream, will it be possible for her to return to the original world again?
Lin Chuchu's heart beat faster and faster, and her originally gloomy spirit obviously improved. The only thing she was not satisfied with was...
"Why is there only 4 points of favorability?" She had done everything she should and shouldn't do, and she really felt that she had suffered a great loss.
"Because you were forced to interrupt! You didn't get the final reward for clearing the game! Extreme negative emotions of the target will affect the dream."
Was Jiang Shiyan's extreme emotion due to the fact that she ran away in the end?
Lin Chuchu opened her eyes and turned her head to look at the boy's face. He seemed to sense something and looked back quietly. Finally, he curved the corners of his lips and held her hand, his eyes filled with light.
Soon, a faint pink color appeared on his fair face. His eyelashes trembled and he lowered his eyes, not wanting the people around him to see the uncontrolled madness and paranoia in his eyes, and he intertwined his fingers with hers tightly.

When Lin Chuchu carried the hot dumplings and soy milk to the laboratory, she thought the time on her watch was wrong.
I raised my wrist and looked at it again. It was not even 8 o'clock. That's right!
How could there be so many people at this time? When I got closer, I saw that the man surrounded was Ling Che.
The white shirt buttoned to the top button is smooth and flat, making his figure look more upright and the curve of his profile more clearly defined. The gold-rimmed glasses reduce some of the man's handsomeness, making him look gentle and elegant.
Because all of his students were around him, Lin Chuchu didn't go over to them, but went to the lounge to have breakfast first. If she spent enough time with Ling Che, long enough to trigger the dream...
When they returned to Laboratory 1, the atmosphere was even more harmonious than before. Students from several teams were laughing, talking and discussing in groups of three or five. Lin Chuchu glanced around and saw Ling Che and Jiang Qingxue sitting by the window.
Jiang Qingxue tilted her head in profile, like a swan with a broken neck, both graceful and fragile. The two were only one step apart, the elegant and handsome man was holding documents in his hand, saying something with his eyebrows lowered. From Lin Chuchu's perspective, the scene was too pleasing to the eye, as if there was an invisible wall between him and the people around him.
She was suddenly startled. Could it be that the heroine's halo was taking effect?
After struggling for only a few seconds, Lin Chuchu took a step forward. When she got close, she hesitated and "accidentally" bumped her waist against the edge of the table. Several sets of utensils hanging on the table made a crisp "ding-dang-dang" sound, which startled the two people not far away.
"S-Sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt..."
Lin Chuchu had no time to feel bad for her poor and embarrassing acting skills, because Jiang Qingxue looked as if she had seen a savior and walked over quickly to hold her arm tightly.
Her face was extremely pale. "Chu Chu, how are you? Are you hurt anywhere? Why are you so careless? Let me take you to the infirmary?"
Lin Chuchu quietly put down the hand that was rubbing her waist pretending to be in pain, "I'm fine... I just got bumped slightly..."
She really didn't know why Jiang Qingxue was so nervous. Was it because her acting was too good? Did people mistakenly think that she was hit too hard?
