Chapter 138 Hot Sand Dream
"I told you to tell me I'd run away and left you!" Ming Chong grabbed Jie De's hand and walked forward, his chin slightly raised as he spoke rapidly, "I'm taking you with me this time. It's just the two of us."
"Hehehehe, sneaking away!" Ming Chong was so happy just thinking about this situation.
Jade tilted her head slightly, looking left and right and back, and found that they were the only two left, and the light path under their feet had disappeared.
It was also at this time that she suddenly realized that the gurgling sound of Benben had not been heard in her ears for a long time.
——It seemed to have started when A Chong opened his mouth to talk to me.
She thought subconsciously in her heart.
"Run away...? Being alone in the desert is a very dangerous thing..." Jade talked about her life experience, but her mind couldn't help but recall where this place was.
This is the Garden of Silence.
Legend has it that this secret place contains treasures of life and death, and has the potential to resurrect the dead.
She knew that A Chong might just want to stop by and take a look, but it was impossible for him to just sit there quietly and not cause any trouble.
"But since you want to explore with me, and I'm here with you, you can only watch!" After saying this, Jade couldn't help but emphasize it again, not knowing who she was trying to convince, "Really... just watch!"
"When we were staying in the Palace of Silence, we didn't know what happened to you outside! Fortunately, nothing serious happened..."

"Uh..." Ming Chong was speechless for a second, but quickly suppressed the smile that was about to come out of his mouth.
—Is it possible, little Jade, that I have caused something big?
"Hmm?" Jade raised her eyebrows, noticing the incongruity in his expression, and uttered a monosyllable question.
Ming Chong nodded heavily and agreed happily, "Don't worry, I don't have any bad intentions. At most, I'll just take a few photos, record a video, or something like that!"
Seeing that A Chong agreed readily, Jie De felt a little uneasy.
But the other party didn't do anything strange for a while, so Jade could only stare at him suspiciously out of the corner of her eye.
After walking for a while, Jie De finally remembered what she wanted to say to Ming Chong. She spoke carefully, "A Chong, how did you and my father... meet?"
"If you were here, why would Dad turn against that guy?"
It wasn't that Jade overestimated the guy next to her. According to her understanding, if the friendship was really that deep and the bond was so inseparable, how could it have come to this point with this "First-Class Atmosphere Stirring Artist" around?
Jade's voice became a little glum at the thought.
"...I've suddenly learned a lot of news these days, all of which I never knew before!"
"The world suddenly changed. I found out who my mother was. I also found out that I had an enemy who murdered her. That enemy was my father's old friend..."
"Why didn't Dad ever tell me before?"
Ming Chong pursed his lips and thought to himself that something was wrong.
He didn't know why Gabriel never told Jade about the past, but now...
—That’s because your father also knows there are other stories, Jade.
Tsk!
Ming Chong thought for a moment and said, "Now that you mention it, I don't know what Gabriel and Sameer are planning now. They've always been like this."
"You're often not willing to listen to my opinions, huh!"
Speaking of this, Ming Chong became a little angry, because it was not just Gabriel and Samel, but everyone who had a good relationship with him seemed to be like this.
When they intend to act according to the plan, they will not tell him the plan.
What? Do you think he is a big colander?
Jade instinctively felt that they were talking about different things, but it didn't matter, Ming Chong would change the concept.
If you do this kind of thing behind people's backs many times, you will naturally get used to it.
Even though the reason is not right, the courage is still strong!
After thinking about all the memories from the simulation that he could recall, Ming Chong finally tasted the difference between reality and simulation.
It’s not about Youfei, uh... when you think about it, it’s also a bit because of Youfei.
In the simulation, he and Jade tend to have a competitive relationship, like the first and second child in the family, or the kind where cats and dogs fight with each other, but in reality, he and Jade can both play together and tolerate each other (?).
People who were originally familiar with each other have changed their way of getting along due to certain changes.
Ming Chong originally thought this was just fun, but after thinking about it carefully, he found that the difference between the two was whether You Fei was alive or not.

"Alas, this world really can't do without me!" Jade heard Ming Chong silent for a long time, and suddenly sighed like this.
"..." Jade, feeling emotionally entangled, wisely decided to change the subject. "Even though even the Grass God believes this is the Garden of Silence, where the souls of the dead exist, I heard—"
"After death, people return to the earth. After the earth receives their souls, it will inject them into a new life..."
As they listened, the conversation trailed off, and Ming Chong couldn't help but urge them, "Keep going! I haven't heard the rest yet! [To a brand new life], and then what?"
Forgive Ming Chong. According to what he knew in Liyue, after a person dies, if he still has obsessions, his soul will linger at the border until he gradually figures it out over time, and then he will enter the real earth veins.
Ming Chong usually handles things according to common sense after knowing them.
So he didn't understand at all. Jade was worried that Youfei had already become another person and started a new life.
He wondered why Jade was bringing up such common sense. Was she trying to get him to praise her? "At such a young age, she knows the natural law of reincarnation." What?
Yes, he hadn't considered the possibility that Youfei would figure it out on her own and then reincarnate, leaving them empty-handed.
The ley lines of the continent of Teyvat are complex in function. In addition to maintaining the cycle of life and death, they also have the function of storing memories.
Therefore, it is possible that the postcard sent to the deceased is only received by the memory, and the original soul is no longer there.
After putting away the postcard and letting her mind wander for a while, Jade thought of many possibilities, including this one.
"I mean, is the person we're going to meet already uh..." Jade suddenly became excited and her voice doubled in volume.
Before she could finish the second half of the sentence, Ming Chong covered her mouth.
Ming Chong said with a serious expression, "That depends on your decision, little Jiede."
"Wh-What decision?"
"Of course it depends on whether you decide to give little Yufei some extra love! You can raise your own mother!"
Seeing that Jade was transformed into Cosmic Cat Head by these words, Ming Chong continued, "Anyway, I'm not happy about it."
"Huh? It was you, A Chong, who said that. Why are you unhappy?" Jade couldn't help but ask.
"Because she's not You Fei anymore after changing her life experience!" Ming Chong said matter-of-factly. "I'm confident that little You Fei will still be my friend like You Fei, but what happens after this?"
"She's still not my friend Yufei, but I got to know her because of Yufei."
Jade was stunned.
"Let me put it this way..." Feeling that his meaning didn't seem to be conveyed clearly, Ming Chong explained slowly, "Just like the Sumeru rose and the rainbow rose, they are both in the Rosaceae family, but they are not the same species."
"One grows in Xumi, and the other grows in Fengdan."
Jade's little head still hadn't figured it out. She opened and closed her lips, "So what should we do next?"
"I don't know. You'll know only when you go and see her. If you don't go, there will be nothing to do next." Ming Chong said without any emotion, shaking the hand that he was holding with Jie De.
He still looked relaxed.
Jade felt a little envious, sniffed, and tried to straighten her chest and face it like him.
…
However, after Jie De raised this question, Ming Chong was not as confident as before.
He had never considered the possibility that Yufei would reincarnate herself, as if he always thought that Yufei would at least meet Gabriel or Sameer before she could feel relieved.
He also thought about whether Youfei would be willing to leave only after seeing Jade. After all, she was too young when she died, and Jade was still too young, so she would not feel at ease.
But just as Ming Chong just realized that the Jade in front of him was different from the Jade in the simulation, so the real Youfei was also different from the Youfei in the simulation.
The Yufei he knew could face death calmly because she would not regret choosing to step into the desert to explore the relics related to the red sand slabs, would not regret falling in love with Gabriel, and would not regret giving birth to Jade.
No matter what happens, she has no regrets in her life, and she won't worry about Jade's future.
So what about the real Youfei?
There is no doubt that she still has no regrets, but there are too many question marks about Jade's future.
But just like when Youfei was held hostage by Sameer and Gabriel, she would follow them to the desert even if she was alone.
...Maybe she would also let Jade go out on her own and choose her own future?
Ming Chong thought about it and came up with two completely opposite options. In the end, he had to admit that it was because of Youfei's identity as "mother" that he never considered other possibilities.
Of course, if it were him, Ming Chong thought it was unlikely that his mother would keep waiting.
It’s not because he doesn’t believe that his mother loves him, but because his mother must be very confident because she raised him and his sister very well.
Hmm...Yuffie in the simulation is probably just as confident.
But for some reason, when Ming Chong knew that Jed was thinking about the possibility of Yu Fei's reincarnation, he was very happy.
Because being stuck in a place like this and waiting is not a pleasant experience.
Jade wanted to see Yufei, but she also felt that she didn't have to wait for her. What was the reason for this?
Of course it's love and heartache.
Just as Ming Chong would be happy because others care about him, he would also be happy because someone cares about his friend Youfei.
And heartache is a high level of love.
"Little Jade, I'm happy to be friends with you now just because you are Jade." Ming Chong shook her hand and said with a smile.
"Then what was the reason before?"
"Before, I loved the whole house and loved everyone in it too!"
