Chapter 487 It's Little Star!
Everyone handed over the gears they had collected to Chen Leying, who then used them to make car air conditioners.
Before parting, Lu Cheng stopped Chen Leying and asked hesitantly, "Is that Zheng Yang someone you know in the real world? Is he... someone who has already died?"
“That’s right.” Chen Leying nodded and told him her deduction.
After hearing Chen Leying's words, Lu Cheng's gaze immediately became intense. "If there really is such a god, then could it be that Xiao Xing... has also become some kind of NPC?"
Chen Leying looked at him and said, "I can't answer that question for you; you have to ask yourself."
Lu Cheng was somewhat stunned: "Ask yourself?"
Chen Leying asked, "Did any of the NPCs give you a sense of familiarity?"
Lu Cheng lowered his head and began to think.
If it's something that feels familiar to him...
Just then, the elderly man with spiritual energy teleported over.
He looked at everyone with excitement, "I've discovered a secret!"
Lu Cheng's thoughts were interrupted as everyone gathered around the elderly man.
The elderly man succinctly stated: "Go to the Magic Tower."
It's possible to be monitored here at any time; it's much more convenient to talk inside the Demon Tower.
Meng Qingyin glanced at Zheng Shi: "How are you going to get back later? Do you want me to take you home first?"
Zheng Shi smiled and said, "My second brother and the others are still in the mountains. I'll wait for them to come down. You can go about your business and don't worry about me."
The group was teleported into the Demon Tower.
Zheng Shi looked somewhat dejected; he really wasn't going to care about him anymore.
He found a place to sit down and waited for Zheng Er and the others to come down the mountain.
Meanwhile, Meng Qingyin and her team were directly teleported to the top floor.
Upon seeing Meng Qingyin, Ye Yingjun's eyes lit up instantly, and he quickly stepped forward: "My lord, you've come to see me again!"
Meng Qingyin: "We have something to talk about. Go play by yourself for a while."
Ye Yingjun looked at her expectantly: "Can I listen to you guys talk? I'm so bored by myself."
Meng Qingyin nodded, "That works too."
The elderly man couldn't wait to speak: "I think Jinxiu and Afang are the same person!"
The reason he didn't go to the mountains with Meng Qingyin and the others this time was because he discovered some clues about Jin Xiu and wanted to verify some of his suspicions.
In fact, this suspicion had already taken root in his mind when he first met Kim Soo.
Kim Soo's unconscious movements are so similar to Ah Fang's!
At first he thought it was a coincidence, but as more and more of these coincidences occurred, they were no longer coincidences.
Today, he finally confirmed it: Jinxiu is Afang!
But he did not rush to acknowledge Afang. Regardless of whether Afang still remembered him, he would be content as long as he could see her again.
The elderly man had expected everyone to be shocked and confused upon hearing the news, but their expressions remained calm.
Only Lu Cheng walked over. He opened his mouth and asked, "How did you determine that they are the same person? Did she tell you herself?"
The elderly man smiled upon hearing this, "We've lived together for so many years, I know her better than anyone, she doesn't need to tell me herself. As long as you pay attention, you'll definitely discover what they have in common."
Try to feel it with your heart...
Lu Cheng closed his eyes, and the image of A-Chen flashed through his mind instantly.
Could Ah Chen be Xiao Xing?
They also love strawberry cake, and their eyes seem to sparkle when they smile...
More importantly, Ah Chen had also said the things that Xiao Xing had told him.
"Brother, I want to give you a gift, which carries my blessings."
"Brother, you must live on with her blessings."
Lu Cheng's vision was already blurred.
He was now absolutely certain that Achen was his sister Xiaoxing!
It turned out that Xiaoxing had already recognized him.
He's such a terrible older brother; he didn't even recognize Xiaoxing right away. She must have been so disappointed.
Lu Cheng cried uncontrollably, and Qin Jiu stepped forward to hug him, gently comforting him.
From Lu Cheng's reaction just now, she guessed what was going on.
Lu Cheng quickly calmed himself down and looked at Meng Qingyin, saying, "I want to go find Achen. Could you ask her to send me her location?"
He did not add Achen as a friend; the only way to contact Achen was through Meng Qingyin.
Upon hearing this, the elderly man immediately stopped him: "Lu Cheng, do you want to acknowledge A-Chen as your father? I think you'd better not act impulsively."
Lu Cheng looked somewhat agitated: "Why? I'm now absolutely certain that A-Chen is my sister, so why can't we acknowledge her?"
The elderly man said, "Think about it. They are all dead. Why would they appear here as someone else? They definitely don't want the players to know about their past. If you rashly acknowledge A-Chen, wouldn't it be bad for her?"
This is why he did not acknowledge Afang as his wife.
Lu Cheng calmed down. Yes, Xiao Xing recognized him but didn't acknowledge him, which meant she couldn't acknowledge him.
What if his rash attempt to reunite with Xiaoxing causes her trouble?
Thinking of all this, Lu Cheng broke out in a cold sweat, thankful that the elderly man had stopped him.
But he really wanted to see Xiaoxing.
He looked at the elderly man pleadingly: "I don't want to acknowledge Xiaoxing as my mother, I just want to see her once, is that alright?"
The elderly man with mental health issues knows the feeling of missing loved ones; isn't he experiencing it himself?
“Lu Cheng, I understand your feelings perfectly. If you want to see A-Chen, then go and see her,” the elderly man said.
Meng Qingyin looked down and sent a message to Achen, "Achen, I have a friend who wants to meet you. His name is Lu Cheng, you've met him before. Could you send me your location?"
Traveling merchant Achen: "Did he want to see me about something?"
Meng Qingyin didn't know how to answer for a moment, but to her surprise, the other party sent the location very readily.
Traveling merchant Achen: "[Location], have your friend come over. I'm bored right now, so let him keep us company and chat."
Meng Qingyin forwarded the location sent by Achen to Lu Cheng.
Lu Cheng simply thanked him and then teleported over.
Chen Leying looked out of the tower, her expression somewhat somber.
Meng Qingyin walked over, "Thinking of Zheng Yang?"
Tears welled in Chen Leying's eyes: "I was thinking, if players and the dead can't recognize each other, if Zheng Yang hadn't woken me up, would I still be alive?"
Without waking her up, Zheng Yang remained Zheng Yi, free from the unfulfilled desires of the past, and lived a more carefree life.
“I don’t know what happened between you two before, but Chen Leying, remember this,” Meng Qingyin’s tone became more serious, “Since Zheng Yang chose to wake you up, he was prepared to bear all the consequences. None of this was caused by you, so don’t blame yourself. He definitely wants you to be happy more than anyone else.”
Chen Leying felt a lump in her throat, but she stopped dwelling on it.
Yes, she can remember Zheng Yang, but she cannot get stuck in self-blame and self-loathing, because she is not just living for herself anymore.
