She wore a blue and white checkered knee-length dress with a lapel collar, a hand-woven belt cinching her slender waist, and a pair of off-white leather shoes.
With her soft, glossy black hair flowing down her back, she holds a bouquet of lilies in her hands, and sunlight streams in from the window, creating a tranquil and beautiful scene.
Xiao Li looked at Xia Linyin and suddenly meowed.
For a moment, it seemed as if Xiao Li had grown a pair of fluffy cat ears, with a cat tail swaying behind her.
Xia Linyin felt as if she had been struck in the heart, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curve into a smile.
"Yes, sister's smile is very nice, keep smiling like that."
Inspiration burst forth like a geyser, and Xiao Li quickly picked up her pen, wanting to capture that beautiful smile.
Suppressing the urge to rush over and hug Xia Linyin, Xiao Li poured all her emotions into her brush, focusing intently on drawing her.
A sudden stinging sensation came from Xia Linyin's palm. Her eyelids twitched, an ominous feeling washed over her, and her heart skipped a beat because of the stinging sensation.
"Dear players, there are ten days left until the mission ends. If the mission is not completed in ten days, all players will be eliminated."
"You don't have much time left, dear player, so strive to create miracles."
With her fingertips trembling slightly, Xia Linyin looked up at Xiao Li, and everything before her eyes seemed as unreal as a mirage.
The lingering stinging sensation in my palm felt like a sharp needle puncturing this dreamy, beautiful bubble.
Now the dream is over, and the bloody reality is right in front of us.
The happier I was before, the more painful I am now.
The sweeter it was before, the more bitter it is now.
At their happiest moment, the arrival of game information reminded them of an incredibly cruel reality.
Ultimately, they could never be like ordinary couples.
"Sister, what's wrong?" Xiao Li put down her paintbrush, walked closer to Xia Linyin, and asked, cupping her face in her hands.
"The mission has a time limit, ten days. If the mission is not completed in ten days, all players will be eliminated."
Xia Linyin rubbed her palms vigorously, "Why, why! I hate it, I hate this game!"
Why do they have to be locked in a life-or-death struggle?
Is it impossible for players and NPCs to get together?
Does she and Xiao Li... really have no future?
Xia Linyin covered her face and started to cry. Xiao Li squatted down in front of her and said, "Sister, don't cry, cheer up."
"How can you expect me to be happy! In ten days, it's either you or me, only one of us can live, and it's happening again! It's happening again!"
Xiao Li held Xia Linyin's shoulders, calming her down. "Sister, there are still ten days left. Promise me you won't think about anything now, and we won't think about these things until the very last day."
"But what can we do? What will we do then?" Xia Linyin looked at him.
Xiao Li gently wiped away her tears, "There will be a way."
Xia Linyin stared at him blankly for a while, then nodded, placed her hand on the back of Xiao Li's hand that was cupping her face, and forced a smile, "Okay."
Night falls—
"Once upon a time, in a certain town, there lived a very lovely girl. She was not only smart and beautiful, but also kind-hearted..."
A sound as soft as a feather flowed gently through the room.
"...Cinderella and the prince lived happily ever after."
Xia Linyin closed the storybook, turned her head to look at the person who was already asleep beside her, and couldn't help but smile.
Her skin was as delicate and white as snow, her nose as exquisite as jade carving, and her beautiful lips gleamed with an alluring luster, like the most delicate roses, tempting one to pick them.
Thick, dark eyelashes covered her face quietly, and Xiao Li looked so innocent and harmless as she slept.
Xia Linyin gently stroked his silver-white hair and lowered her head to kiss his smooth forehead.
After putting down the storybook, Xia Linyin turned off the light and snuggled into her warm bed.
Xiao Li let out a muffled murmur and pulled Xia Linyin into her arms, clinging to her like an octopus.
Xia Linyin closed her eyes, and soon began to breathe evenly and deeply.
...
The colorful Ferris wheel slowly rotates, beautiful and romantic. Strings of small lights are wrapped around the trees, shimmering with dreamlike colors, decorating the green trees with a fairytale atmosphere.
Looking at this familiar scene, Xia Linyin frowned in confusion. Wasn't this the amusement park in the fourth game?
"Sister, kill me."
Xia Linyin turned around and looked at the handsome man standing behind her in surprise. "Xiao Li, what are you doing here? No, how did I get here?"
Xia Linyin covered her head. What was going on? Her thoughts seemed to be sluggish, as if veiled by a layer of fog.
