Were we too hasty in our decision back then?
When Mei Shi looked at the bright and beautiful scene in the game and recalled everything, telling Mu Chen about what had happened in the past, she felt a lump in her throat.
If we compare human emotions to a container filled with water, everyone else has a large bucket of water, while Mingmei only has a small cup.
Others might share a bucket of water with their family, friends, and loved ones, but here in Mingmei, not only is the water scarce, but it's almost entirely monopolized by her parents and relatives.
Even if she wanted to share with others, her cup was already empty.
The unlucky guy who didn't get a single drop was Xie Chen.
Although Mingmei had her eye on him and wanted to share with him, she didn't.
...
“Meimei is subject to too many restrictions in that world. It’s only a matter of time before we take her away.”
Hearing Mei Shi's somewhat self-reproachful words, Ming Yi reached out and pulled Mei Shi close, his gaze falling on the scene in the game. Finally, he couldn't help but sigh, "I just never thought they would do this for each other."
Heaven knows that when they thought back to the day they ascended to heaven, and when they finally left, Mingmei would suddenly remember them all.
When she suddenly turned around and said she wanted to go back, her desperate leap towards the spacetime rift that he had torn apart and was now gradually healing left Mingyi and Meishi speechless.
When Mingyi rescued Mingmei from the spacetime turbulence, the treasure robe she wore had already lost its function. Her bloodied appearance, a result of the spacetime turbulence, instantly terrified Meishi into tears.
When the couple took Mingmei to interstellar space, even with the best medical pods to slowly nurture her, it still took Mingmei a long time to recover.
During this time, they met another guy.
A wisp of a ghost sent by Mei Jiu.
The guy who longed to reunite with Mingmei waited and hoped for so many years, but all he got was the person from his memory.
The one who forgot him.
To Mingyi and Meishi's surprise, when Mingmei woke up, she had once again forgotten the past.
She forgot Mu Chen once again.
The scene of this forgetting, compared to the memory of that time, is like fireworks lit up in a calm sky—intense and dazzling, yet fleeting.
In the end, she remembered nothing at all.
"They've finally reunited," Mei Shi said, overwhelmed with emotion.
...
"That's good... I wasn't left behind after all."
Xie Chen and Mu Chenmingmei could still tell them apart. The man lying in her arms and talking to her at this moment had once again become Xie Chen.
When he heard what Mingmei said, he couldn't help but appear again.
"I used to resent myself, I resented the way of Heaven..."
Xie Chen's gaze began to glaze over as he regained control of his body. In fact, he could already feel that he was about to give way to his physical limitations.
The stiffness and numbness in his body, along with the memories that flowed like a slideshow, were telling him about memories he could have ignored.
Memories of the past, the present, and the body of the one named "Mu Chen" kept flashing before his eyes.
"So, it was just a game... just a dream I could never succeed at."
Xie Chen recalled what the insect had once told him; he actually knew everything.
However, when the game started, he couldn't help but dream again. He thought that this time he would keep the person in front of him by his side forever.
"Did you ever... like someone named 'Xie Chen'?"
Suddenly, Xie Chen cautiously asked this question in a low voice.
He didn't even dare to refer to himself as "I": "Don't misunderstand, I'm just his inner demon. He's not as bad as you think... You said you remember, and you want to come back... Did you ever like him even a little bit?"
Just a little bit will do.
"I have someone I like right now, named 'Mu Chen'..."
"Ah... I know, I know."
Hearing Mingmei's words, Xie Chen seemed to have all his energy drained away; the light in his eyes gradually faded. "I know... I'm just... just... someone like me..."
"The 'Mu Chen' I like used to be called 'Xie Chen.' He would bump into me every day, give me snacks, and tell me 'Meimei, eat more' every day. Even though I was afraid of forgetting countless times, he would still tell me, 'It's okay, let me reintroduce myself, my name is Xie Chen'..."
Mingmei stared at Xie Chen, "The person I like is also named 'Xie Chen'..."
"you……"
"You and him are the same person... Why take all the blame upon yourself?"
"I'm scared..."
I'm afraid that because you dislike me, you'll stop liking Mu Chen too.
...
"Danger!"
Just as the two fell silent, in an instant, Xie Chen, whose eyes had been unfocused just a second ago, suddenly grabbed Mingmei's hand and pulled her down, turning their positions upside down!
Immediately afterwards, with the sound of bones breaking, Mingmei's bright eyes trembled violently as she looked at the crazed and ferocious face that appeared behind Xie Chen.
Zenko's inner demons finally broke through the blockade despite being heavily obstructed by everyone, only to overhear this scene of them pouring out their hearts to each other, which drove him mad with jealousy!
They clearly failed.
"Why! Why?! Why!"
The inner demon, unable to understand, grew increasingly ferocious, until his entire face began to twist and shatter, as if he wanted to destroy everything that was an eyesore in front of him.
