Chapter 357 Sweet Dreams
Everyone has been young once, and everyone has liked someone once.
Even Li Qi, who is now only focused on strength, has liked others in the past.
Especially in the first life.
For Li Qi, who had just traveled through time in his first life, he did not think that he would travel through time again in the future. He only felt that that life would be his forever.
He will live his whole life in a strange and ambiguous world.
Li Qi was actually quite depressed at that time. After all, he suddenly ran from one world to another, lost his friends and family, and became an unfamiliar child of someone else. Most people could not accept this fact.
The same was true for Li Qi, so he was alone from kindergarten to elementary school, and he never even called his parents from that life.
The person who helped Li Qi get out of this state was Zhang Yang.
He met her in high school.
Originally, the two had no contact until Zhang Yang wanted to form a band. When he heard that Li Qi was very good at playing the piano, he found him directly and wanted to make him the keyboard player in the band.
Li Qi refused at first.
But in the end, I was gradually infected by her, and slowly I was actually "tricked" by her into joining the band.
They formed their first band and sang their first song.
I have performed in public and even participated in band competitions, where I won good places.
Li Qi thought at the time that he and Zhang Yang would get to know each other and eventually be together, just like in the cartoons he had watched before.
But I didn't expect that we would be separated by life and death now.
Li Qi didn't know whether Zhang Yang was still alive, but no matter what, he couldn't go back.
Even if...
The current 'Zhang Yang' is standing in front of him.
"Hey, what are you still standing there for?"
Seeing that Li Qi didn't move, Zhang Yang couldn't help but walked up to him, grabbed Li Qi's hand, and pulled him towards the Ferris wheel: "Didn't we agree on a date? How can it be a date if you just stand there stupidly?"
Zhang Yang showed a sunny and energetic smile, like a child who never grew up, and hurriedly pulled Li Qi to the Ferris wheel.
Li Qi didn't say anything.
He looked at his current body of a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy and let Zhang Yang pull him into the Ferris wheel. He was very quiet throughout the whole process without saying a word.
The ticket seller looked like a shadow puppet, with a smile drawn with charcoal on his face.
He stiffly let Li Qi and Zhang Yang enter the Ferris wheel, then started it and made it spin.
Zhang Yang and Li Qi sat on either side of the Ferris wheel, looking at each other in silence.
Seeing that Li Qi was still silent, Zhang Yang couldn't help but ask: "Li Qi, what's wrong with you today? You feel weird."
“…Is there?”
Li Qi finally spoke, revealing a rare sincere smile, and asked Zhang Yang back.
Zhang Yang nodded seriously:
"Yes! It's like he's completely stupid, not saying a word!"
When she said this, her voice suddenly weakened a bit, and she asked, "...I say, you don't regret falling in love with me, do you?"
After that, Zhang Yang's voice rose a few degrees and he said, "I... I'm telling you! There is no regret medicine for falling in love! Unless you say you want to break up with me, I will cling to you for the rest of my life!"
Hearing Zhang Yang say this, Li Qi recalled what happened back then.
At that time, he had just confirmed his relationship with Zhang Yang, and Li Qi was recommended by his family to enter the entertainment industry because of his good conditions and his ability to sing and play the piano.
He was a very popular star at that time.
So Zhang Yang sometimes felt inferior and thought he was not worthy of Li Qi, but despite this, Zhang Yang still did not break up with Li Qi.
She is improving herself in her own way.
“…It’s been a long time.”
Memory is like a photo album, when you don't look through it it just stays there and you can't remember anything.
But once you turn over one of the pages, those remembered and unremembered scenes will flood into your mind one after another.
Li Qi's eyes seemed to be flipping through an "old photo album" that had not been flipped through for a long time, and the scenes there overlapped with the scenes in front of him.
He remembered that he had been to the amusement park with Zhang Yang a long time ago.
I also remember that Zhang Yang did say something similar to me.
But he had almost forgotten it.
If he hadn't come here today, he would probably have buried this memory deep in his mind forever, and would never be able to remember it again.
"What are you talking about, hey, are you listening to me?"
Zhang Yang failed to understand what Li Qi said. She raised her hand and waved it in front of Li Qi with a little dissatisfaction.
Li Qi grabbed her hand.
"!"
When Li Qi grabbed her hand, Zhang Yang was obviously stunned for a moment, and then her cheeks turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye, and there seemed to be some ripples in her eyes when she looked at Li Qi.
Li Qi stared at her, looking at her deeply as if he wanted to engrave her appearance in his mind forever.
Under Li Qi's gaze, Zhang Yang's cheeks became redder and redder.
When the Ferris wheel was about to reach the top, Zhang Yang suddenly closed his eyes and raised his head slightly towards Li Qi.
It was obvious what she was waiting for.
But Li Qi didn't do anything to Zhang Yang. He just held Zhang Yang's hand and stared at her seriously.
It was not until the Ferris wheel passed the top that he slowly said, "... Zhang Yang, I will never forget you."
"Um……"
"So, you don't have to appear in my dreams anymore."
As soon as Li Qi finished speaking, Zhang Yang in front of him opened his eyes.
Her shyness disappeared and she looked at Li Qi with complicated eyes. Then her figure disappeared like smoke, along with the Ferris wheel that Li Qi was riding.
Between opening and closing his eyes, Li Qi's figure appeared in a park.
Everything related to Zhang Yang disappeared, and she was replaced by a girl with a ponytail and wearing an old-fashioned school uniform.
She stood in front of Li Qi, holding two tickets in her hand, and said to him proudly: "Dangdangdangdang~ I got the tickets for the East China Gambling King Election Contest! How are you going to thank me?"
"..." Seeing the ponytail girl in front of him proudly asking for credit and reward, Li Qi's rising sadness suddenly disappeared, and he said directly:
"Will you treat me to hot pot tonight?"
"!Okay! It's settled! I want to eat the one downstairs from your place! Their mutton is the best!"
The girl cheered and jumped for joy. The ponytail behind her head danced with her movements, and her whole body was filled with the youthful aura that a girl should have.
Bai Shuangshuang, Li Qi's childhood sweetheart in his second life.
She was also the second woman that made Li Qi's heart beat.
It’s just a pity... her ending is worse than Zhang Yang’s. At least Zhang Yang had been in love with Li Qi, but in the second life, Li Qi never confessed his love to Bai Shuangshuang until his death.
Even though Bai Shuangshuang had claimed to be Li Qi's girlfriend countless times, Li Qi never dared to express his feelings to her.
The reason was very simple. At that time, Li Qi was afraid that he would leave that world again inexplicably.
It turned out that Li Qi's idea was right.
He did leave that world again.
Looking at Bai Shuangshuang, Li Qi did not let her disappear like he did to Zhang Yang. Instead, he played with her for a while, accompanied her to eat hot pot, and sent her home, ending this "journey".
Not long after Bai Shuangshuang left, Li Qi, who was in the cloud of smoke as the building dissipated, heard a shout from behind him.
The sound of footsteps in high heels came at the same time as the shouting.
"Li~Qi~brother~brother~"
When this sound appeared, the sound of high heels stopped, and at the same time, Li Qi felt something soft at the back of his head.
He was held in someone's arms.
Without looking up, Li Qi could guess who this person was just by the soft touch behind him.
"…Sister Bailey, when will you change this old habit of yours?"
Li Qi said helplessly, but did not break free from the embrace of the woman behind him.
The woman hugged Li Qi tighter and tighter, saying shamelessly:
"I can't change it! Besides, is it wrong for a sister to hug her brother? You are a member of my Wei Boer family now, so what's wrong with letting your sister hug you?"
The busty alien with brown wavy hair made the declaration confidently.
Li Qi was helpless, but let her continue to hug him.
Bailey Webber, someone Li Qi originally thought he didn't care about very much, but in fact, she was someone he always kept in his heart.
Li Qi didn't know why he remembered Bailey, was it because she always wanted to hold him like a pillow, or because... she was the first person who died while Li Qi was alive and was very important to him.
But no matter what, Bailey has a special place in Li Qi's heart.
Sometimes Li Qi also wondered, if there was no war in that world, if he could continue to survive, maybe he would really become Bailey's younger brother.
At least compared to others, Bailey is a rare person who is kind to Li Qi without any conflict of interest.
Bailey held Li Qi for a long time, saying something incomprehensible like "absorb Li Qi's energy".
Li Qi was held by her until Bailey was dragged away by her adjutant Tonali to handle some matters, and Li Qi finally gained "freedom".
He watched Bailey disappear into smoke like everyone else, the nostalgia fading from his eyes.
After experiencing the first three lives, Li Qi's emotions had become extremely weak by the fourth life. There were very few people he cared about, almost none.
Even the final farewell to the mother from that life was mostly acting.
So he didn't think that there would be someone he cared about next.
But what Li Qi didn't expect was that he guessed wrong.
Bailey had just disappeared when a pink-haired pseudo-Lolita appeared out of nowhere in front of Li Qi. She put her hands on her hips, raised her head and asked Li Qi angrily:
"You little brat! Why did you run out here when you can spend some quality time with Chris and the others? You finally get to meet your parents again, don't you want to spend more time with them?"
Carol, the violent pink-haired loli, had eyes full of dissatisfaction with Li Qi's 'leaving without saying goodbye'.
Li Qi looked at her, feeling a little surprised.
He didn't expect that in his previous life in the misty world, there was someone he cared about, and he didn't expect that the person he cared about was Carol, the grumpy loli with whom he had hardly gotten along.
This was indeed a bit beyond his expectations.
