Chuchu was fiercely blocked by the sudden barrier, her body like it had hit an invisible wall. Beyond the excruciating pain, she felt a sense of helplessness and despair at Lu Chenguang's current situation. She struggled desperately, her hands clenched into fists, her nails digging deep into her palms. Blood trickled down her fingertips and dripped onto the cold ground, but she couldn't even shake the solid barrier.
"Lu Chenguang! I'm Chuchu!" She screamed at the top of her lungs, her voice filled with endless sorrow and resentment. However, Lu Chenguang's ghost simply stared at her blankly, his eyes devoid of any emotion, as if she were a stranger.
At this moment, Youlan's cold and slightly anxious voice rang in Chuchu's ears: "Empress, time is running out. The Dream Realm is about to close. You must leave as soon as possible, otherwise you will be trapped here forever."
Chu Chu was shocked when she heard this. She knew that You Lan was right. But seeing Lu Chenguang's painful and helpless expression, how could she bear to leave like this?
"No! I can't leave him! I have to get him out!"
Tianyi and Qingtian saw this and quickly stepped forward to dissuade them, "Princess Di, calm down! We're not strong enough to defy the rules here right now. We must leave first and then find a solution."
Chuchu's tears welled up in her eyes, she bit her lower lip tightly, the inner struggle and pain were beyond words. In the end, reason overcame emotion, she knew that she couldn't act on impulse, otherwise it would only make the situation worse.
"Okay, let's go!" Chu Chu took a deep breath, suppressed the grief and resentment in her heart, turned and said to Tian Yi and Qing Tian. Seeing this, the two immediately stepped forward to support her and prepared to evacuate.
However, just as they were about to leave, Lu Chenguang's ghost suddenly called out faintly: "Chu Chu..."
This call exploded like thunder in Chuchu's heart. She turned around suddenly and saw a strange light flashing in Lu Chenguang's eyes, as if some memory was reviving in his mind.
"Lu Chenguang! Do you remember me?" Chuchu asked excitedly, with hope flashing in her eyes.
However, the light disappeared in a flash, and Lu Chenguang's eyes became empty and confused again.
"No... I don't know you..." he muttered.
Chuchu's heart sank to the bottom again, but she did not give up. She believed that one day Lu Chenguang would regain his memory and they would meet again. So, she looked at Lu Chenguang deeply, buried this deep affection and reluctance deep in her heart, turned around and left the dreamland with Tianyi and Qingtian.
The moment they stepped out of the dreamland, the stone door behind them slammed shut, isolating all the pain and hope in that strange space.
"Let's go," she whispered, her tone firm and resolute. Tianyi and Qingtian immediately followed her lead, and together they set out on the road back to the human world.
Go back to the human world and find another way.
This time it wasn't in vain.
Chuchu woke from a dreamless night's sleep. The morning light filtered through the slits in the curtains, gently casting a light warmth on her bedside. She rubbed her sleepy eyes and was about to get up when she unexpectedly found her second brother, Chu Lei, sitting beside her bed, clutching a large, juicy peach in his hand, devouring it with gusto, a satisfied smile on his face.
"Second brother? Why are you here so early? Aren't you going to school?" Chu Chu asked in surprise and laziness, muttering to herself in her heart.
Chu Lei chuckled, his face filled with a sunny smile, "It seems that you really slept too much. Today is Saturday, my sister. I envy you so much. You don't have to get up early for school, and you can travel around and do what you like. How free!"
Chuchu's heart moved, and she secretly guessed the purpose of her second brother's visit. She couldn't help but mutter to herself: "My second brother's expression is weird. Could he really be sent by mom to be a lobbyist?" Although she thought so in her heart, she did not show it on her face, and just smiled faintly.
Chu Lei seemed unaware of his sister's subtle emotions and continued to devour his peach. He didn't care even though juice occasionally splashed out.
"Mom asked me to come see you, but I really wanted to see you too." He swallowed a mouthful of peach and continued, "You go to school early and come back late every day, so it's hard for us siblings to see each other. Not to mention you've been running around a lot lately, so it's even harder for me to see you."
Chuchu felt a surge of warmth in her heart when she heard this, but it was also mixed with a hint of helplessness. She sat up, leaned against the headboard, and sighed, "It's different. Second brother, you'll know later."
"Wait a minute, haven't my elder sister and elder brother come back yet?" Chu Chu thought of Chu Fei and Chu Lei.
Chu Lei felt the hardship just thinking about it: "I'm a poor student in the third year of high school, and I don't dare go home on weekends. Mom said she would take us to see her. Are you interested?"
"It's best not to disturb."
Chuchu didn't really want to go, she was still thinking about how to save Lu Chenguang.
Those bad guys in the human world have finally settled down, and my mother's wedding is approaching, so everyone should just focus on their own things.
Chu Lei immediately understood his sister's thoughts and gently advised: "I understand, but you also need to rest. Put those worries aside for now and have a good breakfast first, okay? Aunt Li made your favorite beef noodles, I guarantee you'll feel better after eating it."
Chu Chu forced a smile and looked at Chu Lei gratefully, "Well, okay, thank you, second brother. I'll be down after I tidy up."
When Chuchu came downstairs, she was holding a mobile phone in her hand, with a frown on her face, as if she was trying to comfort someone on the phone.
Lei leaned closer to listen and found out that it was Ren Jinting, Lu Chenguang's mother. His worry was beyond words.
Song Yaqing advised: “Jinting, Shen Guang will be fine. He is a very sensible child. He must be busy with important things and didn’t answer the phone.”
"Don't worry too much. The strange sound on the phone might just be a signal problem or the special circumstances he was in. You said you wanted to go abroad to see him? But the child just left not long ago, and you're so busy. My wedding is coming up soon, it would be a shame if you missed it."
Ren Jinting's persistence didn't seem to be shaken by Song Yaqing's persuasion. She said with a hint of determination, "I'm really worried. He's only been away from home for ten days, and I can't get through on the phone... I want to go and see him in person."
Song Yaqing's voice became more urgent, trying to persuade her: "But you go today and come back the day after tomorrow, the time is too tight. The wedding is also very important to you, you have worked hard to prepare for it for so long. Why don't we go together after the wedding is over? Chuchu also misses Shen Guang, so I will take her with me then, okay?"
