"Because my bride is more important."
Li Jingxing turned his head to look at Ye Jiu, her tiny image reflected in his deep brown pupils. "Besides, the wedding hasn't started yet, we can look at the sky for a while longer."
Ye Jiu stood up uncontrollably, brushed the grass clippings off her body, and reached out to Li Jingxing, "Let's go, groom, to our wedding."
Li Jingxing grabbed her hand and stood up. "Let's go."
So Ye Jiu watched as her body and Li Jing walked through the entire wedding ceremony. There were many guests at the wedding banquet, but their faces were all blurry, as if they were covered by a layer of fog.
After the wedding banquet ended, Li Jingxing didn't leave immediately. Instead, he sat in the dressing room, lost in thought. "Ye Jiu" wrapped her arms around his neck from behind. "What's wrong? Are you unhappy?"
Ye Jiu leaned closer to his face, wanting to kiss his cheek, "We'll be husband and wife from now on."
Li Jingxing grabbed her hand, turned his head to avoid "Ye Jiu's" kiss, and curled the corners of his mouth, "A soulless thing, it looks exactly like her, but it doesn't resemble her at all."
Ye Jiu was stunned. What the heck? He actually noticed something was wrong?
Seeing that "Ye Jiu" was stunned, he released her hand and wiped his hands with a wet wipe. He looked up and found that the illusion was beginning to crack. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw that "Ye Jiu" was still standing in the same place, like a robot that had lost its power.
Li Jingxing deduced that the environment was about to collapse, and the people inside had stopped functioning. From the moment he saw "Ye Jiu" move, he knew this was not real, since in reality Ye Jiu would never agree to marry him.
Li Jingxing propped his chin up, probably looking for an outlet for his emotions. He began, "I don't know how to bring it up with her. Our relationship is like friends? But it seems a bit too far, yet it doesn't quite feel like we're in a romantic relationship..."
"It seems she has completely forgotten me... But it's good to get to know each other again, let bygones be bygones."
"What kind of person would she like? Lin Jin'an? I don't think she likes him that much... Should I ask male models how to please people?" Li Jingxing pondered, knowing that necessary learning would greatly increase the success rate.
"We were so close in the 'domain'! We were just one step away from actually going all the way! But nothing happened in real life."
Ye Jiu was completely stunned. What the heck? A "domain"? When had she ever entered a "domain"? And she was just one step away from him?
ah?
Ye Jiu's mind raced, and she realized that the only thing that matched up was her dream from the night before.
She fell silent. She had always thought it was a dream. Although the "domain" wasn't exactly reality, she had always thought it was a place where she could do whatever she wanted!
She had even wondered if she had been having nightmares about Li Jingxing because she had been lusting after his body for a long time... and now you're telling me it was you who was behind it.
Ye Jiu was so shocked that her eyes darted around. She really didn't know how to process this news. Pretend she didn't know? Huh? She couldn't do that! She had remembered that day, that uniform, for so long.
She began to seriously consider the possibility of taking the initiative to confront Li Jingxing, but it still felt strange. Oh well, she decided to leave this illusion first and see what happens.
Ye Jiu squatted down, hugging her knees and staring blankly, waiting for the illusion to shatter completely.
Let's deal with that ghost first after we get out. Oh, and we also need to find out what's wrong with this lab.
She raised her hand to look at her palm. Hey? She can control her body now!
Ye Jiu looked up and met Li Jingxing's gaze, who was also in shock.
She saw Li Jingxing open his mouth as if to say something, but the illusion had already shattered, and she heard no sound.
...
Ye Jiu was already used to losing consciousness.
I opened my eyes again. This time it was reality. The laboratory still smelled terrible.
After Ye Jiu woke up, Lin Jin'an immediately came over and hugged her. "You're finally awake. I was so afraid something would happen to you. It's so strange. We clearly went through an illusion together, so why did I come out first?"
Ye Jiu stood up guiltily and said, "It's probably because I didn't sleep well last night and slept a little longer."
Lin Jin'an asked with concern, "Didn't you sleep well? Was it because I disturbed you? Then I..." He looked conflicted, then made a firm decision, "Then how about I only ask you to sleep with me three days a week?"
Ye Jiu nodded emphatically, "Okay!"
What a pleasant surprise! Giving each other some private space is the best thing to do.
Li Jingxing also woke up, but he didn't dare to get close to Ye Jiu. He hadn't figured out how to face her yet.
He thought Ye Jiu in the illusion was just a fake person, but he didn't expect that she would eventually become her real self. He wondered how much of what he said she heard.
When Ye Jiu saw that Li Jingxing had his back to her, she could imagine the struggle in his mind. She chuckled and said, "Li Jingxing, come here."
Lin Jin'an frowned. Why did he call her but not her?
Li Jingxing composed himself, put on a smile, and walked up to Ye Jiu as if nothing had happened. "What is it?"
Ye Jiu hooked one arm around his neck, making him bend over, and whispered in his ear, "I heard everything!"
Li Jingxing's smile seemed a bit forced. "So...you want to?"
He felt like a suspect awaiting sentencing in court, terrified that she would utter a punishment he couldn't accept.
“Lin Jin’an said he’d come to sleep with me three days a week, why don’t you come three days too and show me the uniform you bought.” Ye Jiu straightened his collar. “I bet you bought it, or looked at a lot of things? Otherwise, how could you make it look so similar?”
Li Jingxing's ears turned bright red, but he still had to pretend to be calm. "The clothes are on their way."
Ye Jiu was genuinely surprised. "You actually bought it? I was just trying to bluff."
Li Jingxing, enraged and embarrassed, retorted, "Are you going to watch or not?!"
Lin Jin'an walked up to the two people and asked, "What are you saying behind my back? Is there anything I can't hear?"
Ye Jiu patted Li Jingxing's chest and said, "I praised him for his well-developed pectoral muscles."
Lin Jin'an immediately placed Ye Jiu's hand on her chest muscles, "I'm better trained than him. He's not quite there yet when it comes to touching me."
Li Jingxing shook his head helplessly, "I don't need to practice, I can change the size at will."
Lin Jin'an glared at him. Damn it, he was really envious of this.
"Alright, alright, stop fooling around. Let's find the ghost and deal with it first before we talk about anything else. I don't want to be dragged into the illusion again."
Getting back to the main point, Lin Jin'an and Li Jingxing continued their search of the laboratory with serious expressions.
“Since this ghost can pull us into the illusion, it's probably not far from us.” Lin Jin’an’s gaze fell on a door they hadn’t yet entered. “Perhaps…”
Before Lin Jin'an could finish speaking, Li Jingxing approached the door first and passed through it in his soul form.
“We should go in…” Lin Jin’an looked at Ye Jiu, “He’s already gone in?”
