"trade?"
"Yes." Yuexu's charming eyes took on a hint of darkness. "I've long sensed something's amiss. Everything around me is real, yet it seems predetermined, following a predetermined path. I can control my thoughts, but there's also a subtle force compelling me to do certain things... If it weren't for you, I would have thought everything in the past was an illusion. But in this instance, ever since you appeared, the distinct feeling of being watched and discussed has confirmed to me that it wasn't an illusion."
Shi Wuqing pursed her lips. Even without her, Yue Su would still be watched by readers, but perhaps her arrival strengthened that feeling.
"There must be something special about you, Miss Shi. The deal I want to make with you is this: I'll help you get what you want—and don't say no. I know your goal must be related to that gaze... In fact, although I don't know the specifics, I believe my behavior just now was helping you—and you, after achieving your goal, tell me the truth and help me escape the world's surveillance."
Too sensitive.
So scary!
He wanted Shi Wuqing to help him get rid of his identity as "a character in a novel"!
This is outrageous!
Shi Wuqing took a deep breath and whispered, "I can't do it."
Yuexu smiled: "Forever?"
She was stunned.
"You'll never be able to do it?" the young man said in a bewitching voice. "Don't worry, I can wait. No matter how many years it takes—even if I can escape for just a moment, I'll have achieved eternal life, right?"
“…” Shi Wuqing was shocked and opened his mouth, but didn’t know what to say.
After she completes her mission, she will leave. How can you help a fictional character escape the control of the "author"?
...Take him away?
She couldn't do it.
So, she didn't want to agree.
"Don't be quick to refuse."
Yue Su seemed to read her thoughts. He smiled and dropped another bombshell: "You may not remember, but we met in the Dark Forest a year ago. Back then, you appeared out of thin air before me, and then disappeared just as quickly."
"?!" Shi Wuqing was surprised: "That person is you——!"
After the last world ended, she used the space-time rift to travel to an unknown forest. Someone attacked her from behind but failed to hurt her. Unexpectedly, that person was Yuexiu from a year ago!
The space-time rift not only travels through space, but also through time!
"It's me. So... Miss Shi, to some extent, you are the 'God', right?" Yue Su said: "One day in the future, take me away, Miss God."
“…” Shi Wuqing…couldn’t refuse.
He just didn't do anything to her at that time, but it was indeed a huge favor.
If he had taken action, with Yuexu's strength, she might have died.
Shi Wuqing lowered her eyes, avoiding those clear eyes of the sky: "That might... take a long time. Exactly how long, even I don't know."
"It doesn't matter. I will wait for you - no matter how many years it takes."
Yuexu's eyes curved, his expression much lighter. He stepped forward and extended his hand: "This is our agreement, Miss Shenming. I hope you won't forget it when you leave one day."
The boy had no fear of the unknown future, only pure trust and expectation.
He is not afraid that she will lie to him and will always wait for her to come again.
Shi Wuqing was silent for a while, and suddenly relaxed. A smile appeared in her eyes, and she gently clapped her hands with the other person.
“Bang!”
She thought that she had really agreed to an extraordinary agreement.
