43 Final Chapter
◎He is a cat◎
She was familiar with this person's face; she saw it every day when she looked in the mirror. Ling Zhou, on the other hand, should be even more familiar with it.
She is Xu Huaihuai, the female lead in "The Light That Fell From the Sky".
Of course, upon closer inspection, there are subtle differences between them.
She felt relieved. Their eyes met, and she understood the gratitude and apology in her eyes.
Ling Zhou stared blankly at the person who approached him until she slapped him across the face with a clean, decisive motion. Only then did he rub his face against her hand, looking aggrieved, and say, "Wife..."
Then he was kicked to the ground.
"You're really something, look what you've done."
Xu Huaihuai stood up. It was terribly cold. She draped a blanket over herself and silently pushed her wheelchair away from the battlefield.
[How about that! How about that! I told you I could find someone to save the day! Sigh! I really didn't know that while I was just away on a business trip to another world, something like this would happen here! No wonder this world's rating is extremely unstable and high-risk.]
The live chat sprang to life. Although it had only just appeared, it had already made contact with Xu Huaihuai in another form. Xu Huaihuai had spent a long time in the bathroom of the room Ling Zhou had locked her in, and that wasn't for nothing. On the steamy glass of the bathroom, she saw a line of writing left after wiping away water stains.
Wait for me to call for reinforcements! You deal with Ling Zhou first! Wait for me! —Leaves by Egg.
Thankfully, this commenter had some conscience and didn't forget their promise to protect her; they quietly erased the line of text. But she was truly exasperated by this commenter; she didn't know who they were trying to sway, but for now, she could only trust this little rascal.
She had no choice but to pretend she knew nothing, and with a burst of acting passion, she played the role of a helpless prisoner with Ling Zhou. Fear, panic, helplessness, and worry were three parts genuine, since she really didn't know what Ling Zhou was capable of, and the remaining seven parts were acting.
On the glass where she saw Lin Xu, she also saw some blurry marks.
Immediately! Hold on! —The egg. Afraid Ling Zhou would discover it, she covered it with her hand and wiped it away.
However, she really didn't expect that the person who swiped the barrage of comments was Xu Huaihuai, the female protagonist of this world.
[Hehe! It's okay! Don't worry! Sister Bei can handle him!]
The female protagonist of the novel, Xu Huaihuai, has a nickname, Beibei, which is a combination of the name Huaibei (north of the Huai River) and the word "bei" (贝), meaning precious. Beibei, Beibei. When the protagonist was young, Xu Jianshu and He Qiongzhi cherished her like a precious jewel. However, as their greed grew, they gradually forgot this nickname.
But some people still remember. For example... Xu Huaihuai leaned against the door of the rooftop and heard hesitant footsteps at the door, someone was struggling with whether or not to come in.
"Yeah, Sister Bei can handle him. Look at how self-righteous and lawless Ling Zhou used to be. Now, in Sister Bei's hands, he's just like a firecracker."
Yeah, yeah, after all, each monkey needs its own way of being tied up. Hehe.
The comments section was filled with silly laughter. Xu Huaihuai tapped it and sighed, "You're laughing so heartlessly, you silly egg. I remember everything."
She used to have many bizarre dreams, which she would forget after waking up, but now she remembers them all.
She had been to a wondrous space where a towering golden tree stood, covered with many bubble-like fruits. Each fruit was a small world, known as a sub-world. These sub-worlds were created within the novel's setting and existed because of the author's originality. Many orbs of light closely monitored the development of these sub-worlds.
The sub-world numbered 10326423, which is the novel world of "Light Falling from the Sky," experienced abnormal fluctuations because several years after the original novel was completed, it was revealed that the male protagonist's character design was plagiarized and spliced together, which led to many readers questioning its originality.
A rift appeared in the sub-world, and someone accidentally traveled through the rift in other creature forms to the mother world, which is the world where Xu Huaihuai is located.
It was no coincidence that Xu Huaihuai received a "novel heroine's life experience voucher" after scanning the QR code and filling out the questionnaire. Or rather, that questionnaire booth was there specifically for Xu Huaihuai.
The owner of the questionnaire booth was a rabbit wearing a discounted bow tie. At first, Xu Huaihuai thought it was someone dressed as a mascot rabbit. Now that she thought about it, that person, or rather, that rabbit, was "him" in real life, the guy who was called "Gentleman Rabbit" in her "dream".
Many people don't retain a deep impression of the surveys they've filled out. Most people participate in surveys for the reward after completion, rather than for the survey itself. Xu Huaihuai filled out the survey hoping to win a prize, but she didn't forget the contents of that survey.

In addition to the multiple-choice questions, there was also an open-ended question.
If you were the female lead, what would you want to do?
Save the world!
In her youthful naiveté, she filled in the answer "save the world" and categorized the survey as a survey about reading preferences.
Then, she returned home with the "Novel Heroine's Life Experience Voucher" given to her by Gentleman Rabbit. She became "her," and "she" left her own world to find a way to repair the rifts in it. Before leaving, "she" dissolved her marriage with Ling Zhou.
Looking back now, many things were foreshadowed; indeed, nothing is more coincidental than a story.
[Well, the main issue is that our current method of traveling between two worlds isn't mature enough. Changes in the magnetic field might affect a person's memory, but memories are something you have to recall yourself. I'm just a small commenter, so it's not really my place to interfere.]
"Your comments still haven't told me your name."
【Egg.】
"So you really are called Egg, huh? Tsk, I'll kill you sooner or later."
The comments section shrank, trying to minimize its presence.
Xu Huaihuai figured the people outside the rooftop door must have worn their shoes out by now. She knocked on the door and already guessed who it was. "Aren't you really going to come in? If you come in now, you can still see Beibei beating up Ling Zhou."
The door to the rooftop was pushed open a crack, and Zhong Xuelu cautiously peeked in. "Huaihuai, can you still consider me your best friend? Before Beibei left, she revealed some things to me, like life connections, the Mother-Child World, and you and her... I don't know how to explain these things..."
She didn't actually know why her best friend and Ling Zhou broke up, but it certainly wasn't because of her best friend. She had been to another world and met Xu Huaihuai from that world. She might not know herself, but both Xu Huaihuai from those two worlds were very important to her.
No matter which Xu Huaihuai it was, she didn't want to hurt her, so she intentionally or unintentionally isolated Xu Huaihuai from contact with Ling Zhou, guarding against it closely. Unexpectedly, Ling Zhou was quite crazy, which was completely beyond her expectations. She glanced at Bei Bei, who was beating Ling Zhou up, and Bei Bei nodded to her while stepping on Ling Zhou.
Beibei is mighty! Beibei is awesome!
Zhong Xuelu withdrew her gaze, anxiously awaiting Xu Huaihuai's reply. Xu Huaihuai hissed, "You've never called me Beibei, so you've separated us from the very beginning."
"Well, that's true, but you're all my best friends, I really..."
"You've gone too far! You know perfectly well that you kissed me on the lips back then!"
"I wasn't a lesbian back then!" Zhong Xuelu said, her voice rising a little as she got excited.
Both the person who was beating and the person who was being beaten on the other side of the rooftop looked over at that moment.
"Shh, don't get excited, I just said it casually, it suddenly came to mind. Xue Lu, actually..." Xu Huaihuai had a lot to say, "Thank you, it's really nice to meet you."
When she first arrived in the world of the novel, all alone and without any relatives or friends, even knowing that she was not the original Xu Huaihuai, he still loved and protected her.
Some things don't need to be said explicitly, but are understood without being explicitly stated. Zhong Xuelu hugged her, "It's not because you look alike, and neither of you is a substitute for the other. You are both unique in my heart. I knew you before we met in this world."
"Ah, so you're the kitten that Gentleman Rabbit was talking about, the one who shares a body with Egg?" Xu Huaihuai recalled what Gentleman Rabbit had said in the "dream".
When the light clusters from the monitoring station leave the "tree" and come to the mother world, they all take on a certain form. Gentleman Rabbit is a rabbit, while Egg is a cat. If this sub-world has developed a rift and someone came to Xu Huaihuai's mother world in another form, it should be that they shared a kitten form with Egg.
“Uh… one-third?” Zhong Xuelu said hesitantly.
Xu Huaihuai didn't immediately grasp one-third of the meaning, but there were other things to focus on right now. "Where is he?"
Since Zhong Xuelu was able to get up here, the monitoring station, or rather, the "Gentleman Rabbit" watchdog in this novel world, must have intervened. So Lin Xu should be fine now.
Zhong Xuelu knew who Xu Huaihuai was asking about. She subconsciously clutched her pocket and spoke evasively, "You mean my brother? He's a little tired right now, after all, he's been in the dark room for a few days. But don't worry, he's fine. And you, what's this wheelchair for?"
Ling Zhou injected Xu Huaihuai with a numbing agent because he was afraid she would run away after discovering the cracks on his face. However, after the barrage returned, the feeling of muscle stiffness and numbness disappeared, and she now had plenty of strength.
"I'm fine," Xu Huaihuai patted the wheelchair. "Want to sit? Standing is tiring. Wait, is something moving in your pocket?"
"Oh, really?" Zhong Xuelu pressed down on her pocket. "No."
"It's really moving! Let me see, maybe a big rat has gotten into your pocket." Zhong Xuelu was wearing a coat with deep and large pockets. Xu Huaihuai had seen videos before of rats getting into warm clothes to keep warm, and when the person wearing the clothes reached into their pocket, they pulled out a rat. The rat was startled, and the person wearing the clothes was also terrified.
Xu Huaihuai grabbed Zhong Xuelu, who was on the verge of tears, and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, let me pat it for you."
She reached in and touched something furry, then grabbed it by the scruff of its neck and pulled it out.
An orange cat, its neck grabbed, let out a soft meow.
It looks very familiar.
"Bingbing?" Xu Huaihuai was a little uncertain. The warm orange kitten meowed again. She put the cat in her arms, looked at the cat and then at Zhong Xuelu. "Why do you have a cat in your pocket? It's not your Xiaoshanzhu."
"Uh, well, I just picked it up casually..." Zhong Xuelu's face actually showed a guilty look.
Xu Huaihuai didn't know what she was feeling guilty about. "Are you really not going to sit? Then I'll sit."
She sat in her wheelchair holding the orange cat. The cat wasn't afraid of people at all and affectionately rolled onto her lap. She scratched the cat and said, "It looks like Bingbing, a cat I used to have."
Zhong Xuelu looked at the cat shamelessly trying to act cute and cuddly on her best friend's lap and sneered, "That's him."
"Huh? What?" Xu Huaihuai was petting the cat and didn't hear clearly.
Zhong Xuelu had an idea and whispered to Xu Huaihuai, "Aren't you curious about his gender? Look at his physique, it's about time he was sterilized."
“Yeah, come here, let me see if you have any testicles. If you do, then…” Xu Huaihuai nudged the orange cat. The usually well-behaved orange cat meowed but didn’t show its claws. It just kept tugging its legs together, not letting anyone see.
"What are you hiding? I can see it. There are really testicles. It looks like a male kitten, and it's definitely reached the age where it should be neutered." Xu Huaihuai flicked the orange cat's testicles, and the orange cat meowed pitifully.
Zhong Xuelu laughed uncontrollably, her shoulders shaking violently. "Don't you feel like you've forgotten someone?"
"Let me think... Ah, Lin Xu, right?" Xu Huaihuai picked up the orange cat and stared at the innocent-looking cat. "Should I call you Bingbing or Lin Xu?"
