96. Mysterious Dream Fairy Tale (19)
I shouldn't have trusted you so easily.
Although Little Ball thought it was impossible, he still answered seriously, "Yes, if all the pain can be removed and only happiness is left, I am willing to give the toy heart to the repairman."
Its tone was earnest and resolute, as if even without the surgery, it would be willing to give up its toy heart as long as it could retain all the happy memories.
The little sunflower's eyes crinkled into crescents as she nodded and said, "Okay, I understand. I'll think of a way!"
After seeing the little ball off, it turned back to face Qin Fu'an and Xie Zeyuan and reiterated its statement.
It will surely come up with a suitable way to help the repairman win back the toys' hearts.
As it spoke, its two leaves twitched, and under their gazes, it whispered, "I'm sorry, I was born without the heart of a toy..."
Otherwise, without needing to think of any other way, it could simply give its toy heart to the repairman.
Even if that might be especially important to it.
The air fell silent for a moment.
Qin Fu'an raised his hand and gently patted the little sunflower's wilted head, saying with a smile, "Little sunflower, there's no need to apologize. You've already helped me so much."
Therefore, it doesn't need to say "sorry".
There is no need to feel guilty about it.
Xie Zeyuan watched this scene from the sidelines, clicked his tongue softly, and felt a slight toothache.
-
The little ball did not have its surgery done at Qin Fu'an's newly opened repair shop.
After seeing off the first unsuccessful customer, the shop quickly welcomed the second, the third, the fourth...
But to the surprise of all the viewers, yet also not so surprising, after Qin Fu'an inquired beforehand, not a single one of the toys was willing to be traded.
What's even more absurd is that they all shared the same reason: they couldn't bear to part with the few happy memories mixed in with the intense pain, rather than worrying about the surgery failing or thinking that Qin Fu'an's asking price was too high.
All the toys nodded with particular certainty after the little sunflower asked the hypothetical question, "If all pain could be eliminated..." indicating that they would absolutely be willing to give up their hearts as toys without hesitation if only happiness remained and pain was gone.
But everyone also knows that this is contingent on Little Sunflower actually being able to come up with a way to achieve the desired outcome.
Otherwise, the toys would never easily reveal their toy hearts.
At that time, Qin Fu'an and Xie Zeyuan will have no choice but to use killing to seize the Heart of the Toy, just like the previous players.
This should have been the last resort.
However, after Qin Fu'an inquired with Little Sunflower and learned that the entire Fairy Tale City only had about 130 residents, the plan was completely cut off.
It might even become a trigger for a fight between Qin Fu'an and Xie Zeyuan, leading to the killing of each other.
"Mr. Qin, what's the best course of action now? Are we really going to have to put all our hopes on it?" Xie Zeyuan whispered to himself as he stood on the shoulder of the Lego bear before nightfall.
The once bright sky outside the window has been stained with large patches of varying shades of ink; in another ten minutes or so, it will be completely dark.
Xie Zeyuan and Qin Fu'an remained relatively calm, after all, it was only the second day. However, after the other players died, the viewers who had watched the entire instance flooded into their live stream, resulting in an even greater influx of strange and unusual people. Different voices also erupted into arguments and insults in the chat at any time.
Xie Zeyuan's eyes hurt from looking at him, so she decided to ignore it and flew to Qin Fu'an's shoulder to whisper to him.
Yes, carrying that little sunflower on my back.
But he forgot that Qin Fu'an was not only his teammate, but also the ultimate love-struck individual who was pursuing his future partner.
So after he asked in a low voice, he soon heard Qin Fu'an's loud reply.
The voice wasn't actually loud, but Qin Fu'an made no attempt to conceal it. The small house wasn't large either, so everyone inside could hear it clearly.
"Xie San, you can't rush things."
Qin Fu'an said slowly, "Little Sunflower is trying her best to help us. Whether she succeeds or not, let's wait patiently."
The little black metal bird, initially surprised and puzzled as it looked towards the little sunflower, suddenly realized what was happening. Angrily, it lowered its head and pecked the little block bear's shoulder twice.
For some reason, the blocks were embedded so tightly that not only did it fail to pry the small block off its shoulder and throw it away, but it also caused the metal bird's mandible to be jolted back by the force, making the whole bird stand up in pain.
This was the first time Xie Zeyuan had been caught red-handed for cricketing behind someone's back.
If it were still the same body, Xie Zeyuan would probably be blushing with embarrassment by now.
That despicable Qin Fu'an!!
Damn Teng Snake!!
The metal bird gritted its teeth and clenched its claws, grabbing the shoulder of the block bear tightly, trying to make Qin Fu'an sense its murderous intent with its wide, round eyes.
Unfortunately, Qin Fu'an ignored him.
In the increasingly dim light of day, the little block bear, gradually fading into darkness, stepped up to the little sunflower and then took its secretly curled-up leaves.
"Night is coming soon, little sunflower, see you in my dreams."
As he spoke, he squeezed the soft leaf in his hand.
The little sunflower felt uneasy. It was thinking about how to help Qin Fu'an while also wondering what the other person meant by those words.
Was it just a casual remark, or did the other person know that they would retain all the memories of the dream even after leaving it?
It desperately wanted to come up with the answers to all the questions as soon as possible, but its head, though large and round, seemed to be covered with sunflower seeds, scattered here and there. When Qin Fu'an touched it lightly, they all scattered to the ground.
It couldn't help but divert a small thought: The repairman... he's really good at finding the weaknesses of toys!
-
Night fell as expected.
This time, the two remaining players in the instance were pulled into the dream world while fully conscious.
But to their surprise, this time, the dream did not seem to repeat itself as expected.
Qin Fu'an, who had transformed into a lucky cat piggy bank, was still being held in Little Sunflower's arms, and the two of them were now standing at the entrance of Fairy Tale City.
Xie Zeyuan was also there, still looking like the fairy tale coin teacher.
Although the little sunflower regretted that the privilege originally given to Qin Fu'an had inadvertently benefited Xie Zeyuan, it did not deliberately take back the fairy tale coin, considering that they had spent the day together.
Of course, if Qin Fu'an could still listen to its thoughts through its soul tentacles, he would find that the little boy with the cold and serious expression on his face was secretly delighted.
It deliberately didn't take back the fairy tale coin but instead gave it to the repairman.
Because in this way, the repairman would still be this lucky cat piggy bank, and he could openly hold it in his arms.
Thinking of this, the little sunflower couldn't help but imitate how Qin Fu'an comforted it before, and also raised its hand to gently pat the lucky cat's head. Its childish voice was cold, but upon closer listening, it sounded a little nervous: "Little cat, my home is just ahead. Let me take you inside to have a look."
The Fairy Tale City is just ahead.
This is the place where the little sunflower has lived ever since it gained consciousness.
It is also its home.
After saying that, Little Sunflower glanced at Xie Zeyuan, who was looking around, and said in an even colder tone, "Teacher, you can join us too."
Xie Zeyuan touched the soul-locking chain wrapped around his wrist and chuckled softly, "Alright, but you're still so young and your strength is limited. Why don't you let your teacher help you hold this piggy bank?"
Before he could finish speaking, even the little guy quickly hugged his piggy bank tightly, staring at him with wide, wary eyes.
His once clean and clear eyes were now filled with hostility.
It was as if Xie Zeyuan was about to snatch away some incredible treasure.
Xie Zeyuan was laughing and coughing at its subconscious reaction. After a long while, she innocently spread her hands and said, "Classmate, I really just wanted to help you, but your reaction really made me very sad."
Not only were they innocent, but they also turned around and accused the bullying of a child.
Qin Fu'an, who was the one being fought over, suddenly remembered that Xie Zeyuan didn't seem to know that Little Sunflower's memories wouldn't be erased.
So, could it be that Xie Zeyuan thought the little sunflower in Fairy Tale City wouldn't remember what happened in the dream after waking up, which is why he deliberately teased it?
...Qin Fu'an glanced at a certain ghost who was pretending to cry and complain about being wronged, and scoffed.
We've hit a brick wall.
Unfortunately, the ghost has no idea how thick the iron plate is, and is still recklessly trying to climb it.
As for whether or not to remind him?
Qin Fu'an used his spiritual power to transmit a message, which reached Little Sunflower's ears: "Little Sunflower, he has a history of mental illness and occasionally has a little crazy episode, so don't pay any attention to him."
After saying that, he thought for a moment and added, "But if he goes really crazy, don't be too lenient."
The little sunflower looked down and met the arrogant and sharp smile in those deep green eyes.
This is completely different from the gentle, smiling teddy bear in the fairytale town.
But isn't it itself also two different things?
Little Sunflower nodded obediently, and then listened to Qin Fu'an, ignoring Xie Zeyuan who was pretending to be aggrieved, bypassing him, and carrying Qin Fu'an back inside.
Behind him, Xie Zeyuan's laughter subsided. He glanced at the child's back, shook his head with a smile, and turned to walk in another direction.
"He doesn't trust me." Little Sunflower gave a precise definition of Xie Zeyuan's departure.
Qin Fu'an nodded in agreement, "Of course, he won't believe anyone."
"Does that include you?" the little sunflower asked curiously.
Qin Fu'an hummed in agreement, "That includes me, of course."
"But aren't you your companions?" The little sunflower's brows furrowed slowly.
It had never actually seen many real humans, having lived in a fairytale city all its life. Its environment had made it very naive, and it couldn't understand why its companions didn't trust each other.
Can such a partnership really last?
"We've only been companions for two days," Qin Fu'an explained with a smile. "And for humans, two days is far too short, so we would never place our trust in each other."
Two days, is that a short time?
The little sunflower followed Qin Fu'an's train of thought and then thought of itself.
"I've only known the repairman for two days."
It lowered its head, stared into Qin Fu'an's eyes, and said without blinking, "So, I shouldn't have trusted you so easily, right?"
Qin Fu'an: "..."
It felt like stepping into a pit you had just dug yourself.
But it's okay, he's thick-skinned and knows how to coax his wife.
“Logically, that’s correct.” Qin Fu’an nodded, unaware that Little Sunflower’s eyes had suddenly turned deep and dangerous, and continued, “But Xie San will be wary of me, will Little Sunflower be the same as him?”

Yunzai: You said we shouldn't easily trust humans.
Anzai: Wife, you're not like him!
Yuan Yuan was puzzled, Yuan Yuan was speechless, Yuan Yuan sneered.
Yuanyuan: You stinky snake, I curse you to never bring a wife home for the rest of your life!
