Chapter 58 Dream Amusement Park (40)
Su Yue is a god with a strong ability of empathy, especially considering that most gods lack emotions and only know how to tease, pretend compassion, and make witty remarks. Su Yue's perception of emotions is particularly keen.
But he thought it was not entirely due to his perception, but rather that the bride was really sad.
Because even Cang Zhi looked at her silently, as if he was infected by her sadness.
The bride standing on the viewing terrace is like a timeless painting, with the cool moon above her head and lush green lawns and swaying evening primroses under her feet. She is wearing the most beautiful white veil, but the road she walks on leaves behind charred tracks.
Looking closely, the white veil was also burned into tatters by the fire. It was some shiny little insects flying around that pulled up the tattered white veil, making it the most beautiful outfit for the bride.
She is so beautiful.
Beautiful to pieces.
"She is the bride." Su Yue whispered.
There was no doubt about it. The first time Su Yue saw her, he knew that she was the only bride in the whole story.
The bride in the float parade on the first day, the bride who appeared as a ghost in the Cupid's Hut haunted house on the second day, and the smiling bride in the wedding photo hanging at the door of the principal's office.
They all had the same outfit as her.
The bride stood on the terrace, looking out at the entire amusement park. Su Yue was very curious about what she was thinking. From here, the closest thing was the train track, which passed in front of the viewing terrace like a guide in a dream, and then there were some small amusement facilities, including a bungee jumping machine, a carousel, a swing machine, and Cupid's hut.
There is also the principal's office, from which she can see her lover.
Going further ahead, there is a racetrack in the front left and a Ferris wheel in the front right. The two huge buildings are silent in the night, like rippling mountains at the end of the waves.
Continuing forward is a forest. Su Yue is very familiar with that forest. Deep in the forest is a castle-like building, which is the old warehouse.
The bride stood there quietly, looking left and right. Su Yue was still for a long time in that nightmare-like heavy sadness before she came to her senses. She pulled Cang Zhi by her side, and the two of them ran through the corridor and rushed to the observation deck.
They were going to find the bride.
But just as they entered the side corridor and were about to follow the stairwell to the observation deck, the bride seemed to suddenly sense something. She turned quickly, as if glancing towards the Castle Hotel, and then walked down the terrace at a completely different speed. Su Yue only saw the hem of her skirt flash quickly before she disappeared from his sight.
"She's gone." Cang Zhi said.
Su Yue nodded. He didn't realize that he and Cang Zhi were still holding hands, even though there were no love messengers patrolling here.
"She seems to be afraid of us." Su Yue said.
"Maybe she's afraid of everything." Cang Zhi said, "Not all ghosts are vengeful ghosts."
Su Yue agreed with Cang Zhi's opinion.
He had read her diary. Such an innocent, kind and beautiful girl, such a sad bride, so sad that Su Yue's heart ached with her, it was impossible for her to become a vengeful ghost.
Footsteps were heard from both sides of the corridor at the same time. Two waves of love messengers were patrolling over at the same time. It seemed that the closer they were to the bride, the more love messengers were patrolling.
"Hand." Su Yue stretched out her fingers, and then found that she and Cang Zhi were holding hands. "Oh, we are holding hands. That's good."
Cang Zhi: “Yeah.”
They wanted to go downstairs to take another look, but from a distance, the bride had disappeared, and it didn't look like she would be caught. More importantly, Su Yue saw a love messenger wearing a golden mask at the corner.
If the butler wearing half a mask is a red-named monster, and the ordinary love messenger is a red-named monster with two bloods, then this love messenger wearing a golden mask should be the small boss.
This golden love messenger is the real bug. The other love messengers, including the racers Zhao Shuo had PKed with before, should all be blackened NPCs whose data were contaminated by this bug.
They would have to get rid of this golden messenger of love later, but there was no need to do so now. Since they couldn't see the bride, Su Yue and Cang Zhi didn't try to force their way past this messenger of love. They returned to their rooms.
.
The room was filled with the scent of incense, which made people feel relaxed as soon as they entered the house. After Su Yue entered the house, he went straight to the balcony. Cang Zhi followed him, pulled by his hand.
When they stood face to face on the balcony, Su Yue realized how wrong this situation was. He seemed to be used to holding hands, and this was not acceptable.
He quickly let go of Cang Zhi's hand, not knowing why he felt so flustered. This action seemed to make the atmosphere a little awkward, and both sides were speechless for a while.
"Are you cold?" Cang Zhi asked.
Oh. Su Yue reacted.
Cang Zhi is a puppet, he won't be embarrassed.
It is late autumn now, and the wind on the balcony is very cold. Su Yue's nightgown has a low collar and, most importantly, her ankles are exposed. No wonder Cang Zhi asked this.
But even the floor of this hotel is heated, and Su Yue's ankles are completely wrapped in the warm wind.
"It's not cold." Su Yue said with a smile, "The hotel has plenty of warm air."
"Yeah." Cang Zhi nodded.
"I originally thought the bride was just a dreamlike shadow in this story, an object of nostalgia for everyone," Su Yue said. "But I didn't expect the bride to actually exist, and to have such a strong presence."
"Doesn't the director know that his bride is here?" Cang Zhi asked, "If he really loves his bride so much, why doesn't he come to find her?"
"Like you said, he may not know. If he told us the truth that day, he didn't know there was a ghost in the warehouse, nor did he know his bride was in the hotel." Su Yue said.
"But he may not be telling the truth." Cang Zhi said.
Su Yue nodded: "No matter which possibility it is, we have to go to his office tomorrow to take a look and find out."
"What about now?" Cang Zhi asked.
"It seems there's nothing we can do now." Su Yue looked at the night view of the amusement park in the distance, smiled and said, "The bride has escaped, let's rest."
Cang Zhi said, "Okay."
.
There was only a big round bed in this room, so Su Yue naturally had to sleep in the same bed with Cang Zhi. Originally, he had slept with Cang Zhi together. He treated Cang Zhi as a large plush toy, and could only fall asleep peacefully by hugging Cang Zhi's arm or resting his head on Cang Zhi's shoulder.
It’s just different in this copy, because all the beds here are single beds, and they are together with Zhao Shuo, Su Chen and others.
Although Su Yue did not admit that as a supreme god he would be influenced by humans, it was true that when he was with Zhao Shuo and the others, as well as Cang Zhi, his mood would be more stable and cheerful than before, and he could fall asleep soundly without Cang Zhi's company.
But since it’s just the two of them tonight, of course he has to sleep with Cangzhi.
Cang Zhi went to wash up, looked around the room, and pointed at the sofa, "Should I sleep here?"
Su Yue asked in surprise, "Where are you going to sleep?"
"Then I..." Cang Zhi seemed stunned.
Su Yue had a subtle feeling at this moment, as if the feeling of competing with the Lord God Cang Zhi a long time ago had come back again, and it was a one-sided competition from him, while the Lord God was indifferent.
If it weren't for the extremely complicated procedures for gods to log into the game, and if Su Yue would definitely know about it, it would be impossible for the main god to appear in the game. He would even suspect that the person opposite him was the main god himself.
So Su Yue would have naturally asked Cang Zhi to come over and be his companion/sleeping doll, but this sudden feeling prevented him from doing so.
Whoever bows his head first loses, and if the other party remains indifferent, he also loses. It seems stupid to have such an idea, and it is even stupider to get angry with a puppet, but Su Yue really thinks so at this moment.
So Su Yue sat down on the bed, raised an eyebrow and looked at Cang Zhi: "It's up to you."
Cang Zhi stood there for two seconds, then moved towards the round bed and said, "I'll sleep here."
Su Yue raised the corner of his mouth: "Be good."
.
There was only one quilt, but I was wearing a thick nightgown, so there was no point in skin-to-skin contact.
When the lights were turned down until only the star-shaped chandelier above the bed was left, the light in the room was just right: warm, soft, and ambiguous. One could see the affectionate eyes of a lover without having to see everything clearly.
Su Yue and Cang Zhi each had a pillow. After Cang Zhi got on the bed, he lay there straight and motionless with his hands on his trouser line like a doll.
Su Yue sighed: "Arm."
Cang Zhi stretched out his arms obediently.
"His brain has become smarter, but it's like he has lost his memory." Su Yue muttered as he moved Cangzhi's arm to a suitable position.
Then she hugged his arm and lay down as if she was holding a life-sized teddy bear.
This movement pulled Cangzhi, and Cangzhi immediately could no longer lie straight as before. In order to accommodate Su Yue's movements, he had to move to the side and turn his body towards Su Yue.
The distance between the two people was suddenly shortened.
The sense of closeness immediately became much stronger.
This is the first time that Su Yue and the doll have entered a copy with this kind of scene, which means that the feeling of couple is so strong that in the past Su Yue had to make an effort to show it, but now he doesn’t need to show it, the feeling of couple comes directly to him.
The rose petals spread on the bedside fell down and landed on Cangzhi's hair. Suyue raised her hand to help him pick it off and smiled, "Why do you act like a real couple?"
"Are all real couples like this?" Cang Zhi asked.
They each had a pillow, but they were facing each other, and since Su Yue was holding Cang Zhi's arm, the distance between them was not very far. Cang Zhi was still staring at him intently as before, so Su Yue also stared at him, but this time it was a bit strange, because after staring at each other for a while, they tacitly turned their eyes away.
"It's not always like this." Su Yue said, "Some people are closer than this, and some are far less so, like me and my ex."
"Then he is really bad." Cang Zhi said.
"How do you know it's him who's bad and not me?" Su Yue said with a smile.
"Because you are so nice." Cang Zhi said.
"Sweet talk." Su Yue commented with a click of his tongue, "But you're right, he's really the worse one."
Cang Zhi said: "He deserves to be unloved."
Su Yue glanced at him and said, "I've confirmed once again that you are really hostile to him."
"..." Cang Zhi, "I didn't."
The topic seemed to have stopped here, but after waiting for a while, Cang Zhi took the initiative to say, "By the way, you just mentioned why the director didn't come to look for his wife. Actually, I think there is another possibility."
"Hmm?" Su Yue asked, "What's possible?"
"Maybe he just didn't love her anymore," Cang Zhi said. "Because he said that day that he didn't believe his wife would become a ghost haunting the amusement park. But when people say they don't believe something, they're actually already thinking that in their hearts. So he didn't love her anymore at that time. Do you think that's possible?"
Su Yue was actually a little sleepy, but when Cang Zhi brought up this topic, he became energetic again.
The main thing is that the character with Cang Zhi's face took the initiative to mention the topic of "love". Whether it was the main god Cang Zhi or the puppet Cang Zhi, it was a very bizarre thing, which made him feel very interesting.
"That's possible," Su Yue said. "But if that's the case, the bride is a little pitiful. She's so sad because she loves the director, but he doesn't love her back."
"Yeah." Cang Zhi nodded with deep feeling, "You said, if you don't love me anymore, does that mean you don't love me anymore?"
"?" Su Yue glanced at him, "What do you mean?"
"I don't mean anything else." Cang Zhi said, "I'm just curious. If love can turn into not love, is it possible to go from not love to love again?"
Cangzhi has always maintained a strong curiosity and thirst for knowledge about human beings, which Su Yue knows. Moreover, the question he asked this time was one of the questions that did not make Su Yue laugh or cry. It was just that the timing of asking the question was very clever.
"Of course it's possible." Su Yue said, "Don't we all start out by not loving each other and then falling in love? However, if two people who have loved each other separate, it will be more difficult to fall in love again than starting from scratch. It also requires conditions."
"What are the conditions?" Cang Zhi asked.
"For example, the reason for the breakup," Su Yue said, "if the reason for the breakup is serious, then it will be difficult to love again."
"What if it's because of a mistake?" Cang Zhi asked.
"Ah." Su Yue turned over, resting her head on Cang Zhi's arm. "If you make a mistake, it depends on whether it's unforgivable to the other person. If it's a mistake of principle, then there's no need to love them anymore. Why humiliate yourself? Don't you agree?"
"What if it's a misunderstanding?" Cang Zhi asked again.
"If it's just a misunderstanding, there's still a chance." Su Yue looked at the ceiling above her head, which looked like a starry sky. "If the misunderstanding is resolved, maybe the love will deepen. Isn't that what's written in the script?"
"But this kind of falling in love again actually has a prerequisite." Su Yue added, "That is, the other person still has some feelings in their heart. If they no longer love each other, then it's no different from starting from scratch. There's no point in discussing this."
"Is that so?" Cang Zhi said.
"What's wrong?" Su Yue asked.
"It's nothing, I just think human emotions are very complicated." Cang Zhi said.
Su Yue smiled and said, "Yes."
"What if it were you? The person you love doesn't love you, and may not necessarily fall in love with you. What would you do?" Cang Zhi asked again.
Su Yue was startled by his question, because this situation was exactly like the situation before he broke up with Cang Zhi. Cang Zhi didn't treat him like this on purpose, he just didn't have the ability to love, so Su Yue didn't blame him, but at that time Su Yue's choice was very firm.
"I will stay away from him." Su Yue replied, "Because I feel sad when I see him. If one day I can face him again, it means that I should no longer mind him."
"So I can start from scratch again?" Cang Zhi asked.
Su Yue thought that the two couldn't be completely equated, but if he analyzed the difference between the two with Cang Zhi, he wouldn't be able to sleep tonight, so Su Yue said, "You can think so. What about you? What do you think we should do?"
"I would be like you, because I don't want to annoy him." Cang Zhi said, "But if... by some strange coincidence I can be by his side, and it doesn't bother him, I will try my best to stay by his side, because being with him is enough to make me happy."
"Fortunately, you're just a puppet." Su Yue smiled. "If you were a real person, I don't know how you would be manipulated by bad men."
"No." Cang Zhi argued.
"Okay, go to sleep." Su Yue patted Cang Zhi, "We still have to go see the director tomorrow."
Cangzhi nodded obediently, and Suyue leaned closer to him again, originally preparing to sleep.
But it was not known whether it was the ambiguous lighting, the issue just discussed, or the intoxicating fragrance in the room, but when Su Yue leaned on Cang Zhi's arm, she caught a glimpse of the opening of his collar. The light gave Cang Zhi's skin a very soft honey color, which looked very good.
So even though the lights were off, Su Yue's brain still didn't stop.
"Hey." Su Yue poked the spot just below Cang Zhi's shoulder and above his chest based on his memory, "I can..."
He coughed awkwardly and said, "Can I touch you? Your chest muscles look great."
.
Cang Zhi looked at Su Yue in shock for a moment, as if he was stupid. Even in the dark, Su Yue could see that his eyes were wide open, so wide that they reflected light.
Su Yue fully understood his shock. He himself was also quite shocked. What was this? The puppet had completely turned into an inflatable doll.
"Are you sure?" Cang Zhi was stunned for a long time before saying, "I... I copied the body of your predecessor. You are just... touching someone you don't like."
Su Yue didn't expect him to follow this logic. After a moment's pause, he said, "That doesn't matter. Even if it was him, letting me touch him would be like getting a free ride from a handsome guy. It's not like he touched me."
"Of course, the premise is that he... I mean, it has to be your willingness. But that seems like taking advantage of me. You're a puppet, so why wouldn't you want to do it?"
After these words were spoken, both sides fell silent, and Su Yue felt his ears burning.
Even if it was a puppet, and the one on the other side was a puppet that could speak and respond, this kind of conversation was enough to make the god's heart beat faster.
In the darkness, Cang Zhi finally said in a very soft voice: "Yes, I am not unwilling. You..."
He paused, "If you want, come and touch it."
