Chapter 248 Epilogue: Beautiful Dream (I) (Inverted V) The Doll Knows…
"I'm so happy to see you one last time before I die," He Fangying said, gently stroking He Yuezhe's hair. "Shi Liu, grandma is so happy."
She smiled, her voice weak and trembling, "Look, you've gotten fatter, cuter, and more cheerful than when you were little. You've grown up and become a very capable adult."
[Grandma, don't]
"Grandma, I'm sorry. In this world, I do see another possibility. However, it's not the possibility I want to see, nor the possibility this world needs."
[grandmother]
"Pomegranate, no matter what, don't doubt grandma's love for you. Even though this love isn't pure enough, but..."
[I love it too]
“…”
“…”
When she was a child, He Yuezhe didn’t understand what “love” was. She thought that only extremely passionate and deep feelings were called “love”.
But now, she understood, it turns out that this kind of delicate, long-lasting, simple affection between relatives is also "love". It comes slowly and goes slowly. It feels light when it comes, but like a needle pricking blood when it goes. The feeling is not quite the same as pain. It's just like losing something that is closely connected to you. You feel like there is a piece of emptiness in your body and your heart is empty.
Once again, He Yuezhe felt a pang of pain in his heart, as this was the second time He Fangying had left him.
And there was no chance to express her "love" to her anymore.
In the past, He Yuezhe had only served as a salvation master and left other people's worlds, but this was the first time she had actually seen a salvation master leave.
Before He Fangying finished her words, her eyes had completely become dull, losing all their light. The hand that was stroking He Yuezhe's hair froze in mid-air. The sound of her gentle breathing disappeared, replaced by a rumbling sound like unclogging a sewer pipe.
First the skin and flesh, then the blood vessels, and then the internal organs, organs and bones. He Fangying melted completely.
There was only a pool of wet, slightly sticky liquid left on the bed sheet, and you could vaguely make out the shape of a person.
He Yuezhe's hair and body were covered with this liquid that she was very familiar with. She stretched out her hand from under the quilt with trembling hands and touched the liquid.
"Ding Dong! Congratulations, you've obtained the key item: Petri Dish x1!"
"Current completion progress: 5/?"
“…”
“…”
…
He Fangying is gone, and the world did not help her give an answer to her relatives, so when the girl asked where He Fangying had gone, He Yuezhe replied that she had something to do and had gone on a long trip.
So the woman drove a tricycle to pick up the girl from school every day.
He Yuezhe also took this opportunity to go to the park every day to chat with Ruan Qing. While chatting, the two watered and fertilized the trees.
Later, the woman joined them, and the three of them took care of the park.
Later, when the saplings grew into towering trees and the fountains sprayed out rainbows, the park began to look presentable and more or less people began to come.
She made many new friends and learned all kinds of stories about people from all over the world. The woman's illness got much better, and Ruan Qing also became more cheerful.
Watching the woman and Ruan Qing getting better little by little, watching the girl, Chen Shuo and Ban Weile make friends at school and have a happy childhood, and hearing that Tang Xiqin succeeded in her studies and became a manager, and Yuan Yang made money and cured his grandfather's aging disease.
They did not become close friends again, but they both had a happier future.
This world is as beautiful as a dream. He Yuezhe sometimes wonders whether she should stay here forever. But this place is as beautiful as a dream. Yes, this place is just a dream, just a dream. She cannot stay here, no, never.
The time passed quickly after that.
The park became the most prosperous workplace in the city, and Ruan Qing, the manager, also became busy. She changed her teeth, became more confident, and made a lot of money while protecting the ecology.
The woman met many like-minded friends, who sounded the clarion call for the human community to jointly resist them. The woman, or rather, Lin Xue, has become a star among humans.
As for the girl, she really realized her dream. She became a doctor, walked between dangerous workplaces, and saved many people. He Yuan's name is well known and she is known as a miracle doctor.
The dolls and communicators followed her through all kinds of hardships, and they were vaguely trying to understand and learn about human emotions.
Chen Shu, on the other hand, likes farming and the feeling of having a bountiful harvest after a busy day. She joined a botanical research institute and researched day and night, but still enjoyed it.
Ban Weile is a chef who loves to eat and has good cooking skills. He makes a variety of food every day and sets up a stall on the street to provide it for free. He occasionally earns money by working part-time.
Tang Xiqin, relying on her martial arts and superb archery skills, became a mercenary after leaving school. She worked for others, was always victorious, but she only did good things.
Yuan Yang made money and cured his grandfather's aging diseases. The grandfather and grandson lived a happy life and moved into a bigger house. When he occasionally went out to work, the robot housekeeper he made took care of the house.
Among all these people, it seems that only He Yuezhe has remained where he is.
Speaking of Jiang Ruoshi, she was from the old world. After aging naturally, she also faced her death. She watched her children grow up happily and her unfinished career was taken over by someone. One night, she left a letter and left alone.
When He Yuezhe found her, she was leaning against the tassel tree in He Fangying's house with a few bottles of wine in her hands, and she had lost her life.
Jiang Ruoshi said in the letter that she had guessed He Fangying's identity, but she could feel that although there was a bit more anxiety between He Fangying's brows, she was still her old friend, still He Fangying, and this had never changed.
This might be the reason why she came back to this cottage.
Crossing the weeds, the door of this long-dusty cottage was wide open. Dust, covering old objects, and memories were blown away by the wind.
He Yuezhe took a look inside and left without looking back.
…
Because He Yuan is busy with work, he often comes home in the middle of the night. Lin Xue has also been busy with their organization's affairs recently and needs to stay there. She has not been home for several days.
So when He Yuezhe returned home, the house was pitch black and no one was there.
"I'm back." She said as usual.
"Good evening."
Then, the puppet walked out from the depths of the house with green eyes and said leisurely, "Did you have a good day today?"
"..." He Yuezhe had become accustomed to the doll's different greetings every day after it had recovered all its memories. He walked over and handed her a tassel flower. "It's a pleasure. I went back to my hometown and brought you a flower."
"Thank you, it's my favorite tassel flower." The doll blinked and smiled gratefully.
"Meow Aqiu! Aqiu! Meow!" The cat on the communicator in her arms sneezed several times and said in a crying voice, "Master, meow! Aqiu! Yes! Aqiu! It's Aqiu! I'm allergic to Aqiu!"
"Oh, then I'll hold it from farther away?" said the puppet.
"Ye Aqiu! Ye, I am allergic! Aqiu! I'm Aqiu!" The cat on the communicator was sneezing so hard that it felt completely unwell. Its face was red and covered with many dense pixelated red rashes.
"Then...?" The puppet tilted its head in confusion and looked at He Yuezhe, "But she brought this specifically for me, I can't throw it away. Please bear with it for a while, okay?"
"Ah, Achu!"
"Well, it seems that our relationship is better." He Yuezhe turned on the light in the living room, climbed onto the sofa, stretched comfortably, and glanced at the dissatisfied communicator cat.
The communicator cat, that is, the system, He Yuezhe had told the puppet its identity before.
The puppet said that she didn't understand why the system did this. He Yuezhe asked her to ask the system herself, but until now, she seemed to have never asked the system this question.
Perhaps she already knows the answer to this question.
"Of course, you and I have the best relationship." The puppet smiled, climbed onto the sofa, and sat next to He Yuezhe.
"Master! Aqiu is clearly our Aqiu!"
"You, hey," He Yuezhe tilted his head, then leaned his whole body onto the doll, "Can you change that name?"
"Aqiu!"
"What's your name?" The puppet moved its shoulders to make He Yuezhe lean more comfortably and asked.
"It's 'you'."
"...Why, isn't that a bad name?"
"Because I don't like it," He Yuezhe frowned, "We are friends, and there's no need to be so polite between friends."
“…”
“…”
"Are we friends?"
"Of course."
“…”
“…”
"But, for me, I should have equal love, equal hate, equal welcome, and equal rejection towards all people, things, and events. Everything should be equal to me, so..."
"Oh, forget it, forget it. I won't talk to you about this anymore. You always give the same answer. It's boring." He Yuezhe changed the subject forcefully. "What did you do today? Tell me about it."
"Well, I chatted with it, did some handicrafts, went for a walk on the street, and then came back."
"Oh, that's quite fulfilling."
"Um."
“…”
"Did you have a good time today?"
"happy?"
“I just find everything interesting.”
"Then I should be happy."
"That's good."
"Well, especially seeing that you came back safely and brought me flowers, I was even happier."
"..." He Yuezhe raised his head and looked into the puppet's eyes, which were calm. He was silent for a moment, then lowered his head and said, "That's good, that's good."
“…”
“…”
"By the way, I..."
“…Hmm, what’s wrong?”
“…”
“…”
"I, my wish has been fulfilled. I, may be leaving soon."
“…”
"I'm so happy to be able to walk through life with you again. I just hope that your plans will be successful and your wishes will come true, so that..."
“…”
“…”
Lowering its head, the puppet looked at the girl leaning on its shoulder.
The girl had fallen asleep, breathing softly, her soft hair hanging down and resting in the palm of her hand, feeling a little itchy.
“Tick-tock.”
Suddenly, her vision blurred, and the doll blinked in confusion. Then, a drop of water fell on the palm of her hand, soaking the lines on her palm and the strand of hair.
“That way…”
The doll knew that these things were called "tears" and that they were shed when humans were extremely sad or extremely happy.
"I'm even happier."
“Tick-tock.”
“Tick-tock.”
Tears kept dripping from my eyes.
On the distant TV screen, in the dim light, the puppet saw the corners of his mouth rising.
So are you happy?
“…”
But why does my heart hurt so much?
