Chapter 266: The Long Years (Part 1)
Dongxue looked at him.
In the rising fire, she was walking towards him in her beautiful red dancing shoes.
"They all said I was childish, that I was daydreaming, that I was crazy. They said that I, we... were the kind of people who were not accepted." Dongxue said: "So, I, and people like me, gradually faded away and became [victims of the times, the increasing number of figures in the dark... and the mediocre bodies that cannot resist]."
"No." Su Mingan said: "When a group is working towards one direction, those who turn around or leave will become outliers. Not being accepted means being strong, and you have unlimited possibilities. However, you need to be someone who is not rejected by the public, so that you can unleash your unlimited potential."
"They imposed responsibilities on me, so that I could inherit their family name, squander their wealth, and continue their ideas," Dongxue said. "Only what is written in books is the correct answer, only things affirmed by elders are worth fighting for, and only obedient children get candy - and we have never been encouraged to be creative."
Su Mingan: "For thousands of years, everyone has been like this. When you were born, this life imposed on you made it impossible for you to make a choice - but it was not wrong. After being imposed on you, you have more rights to refuse."
Dong Xue: "But I just like someone, I don't want to grow up. But they told me [that's not love at all] [you should be mature]... But isn't love a sign of a person's maturity?"
Su Mingan: "The relationship between you and Yang Xia could have been less extreme. You could have chosen the meaning of pain, but you chose the most meaningless one."
Dong Xue: "I have been here for a long, long time... No one understands me. The despair hanging over our heads... can never be suppressed - if you cure Yang Xia and leave here, then what am I... what am I worth?"
Su Mingan: "You are the preserved innocence, Dongxue, you are forever young."
The next moment, Dongxue stopped walking.
Her expression changed and her eyes gradually became clear.
"Why is your answer completely different from before? You clearly told me before that I was always right, and you always did what I wanted...but now, you are targeting me everywhere..."
"Because the dream is over." Su Mingan said in a very light voice.

…
The next moment, between his eyelids opening and closing, he gradually lost control of his body.
He felt as if he was floating up, in the form of a soul, looking at the "self" who was beginning to act independently.
He saw "himself" slowly changing. His stature began to become shorter, and his hair gradually turned silver. In the engulfing fire, his appearance gradually became similar to that of Dongxue when she grew up.
Dongxue's eyes changed.
She began to walk, first in small steps, and then gradually faster and faster. She stepped on the creaking wooden floor in her red dancing shoes, as if she was chasing something.
She walked very quickly, as if she was afraid that she would fall behind if she slowed down.
She passed through the flames that were engulfing the entire wooden building, her dancing skirt like flying flames.
She stretched out her hand, as if wanting to hug "him", but bumped into a glass wall.
Invisible glass wall.
The two looked at each other across the glass wall. Dongxue stretched out her hand and placed her palm on "his" cheek, her eyes filled with a look like the broken sunset.
And "he"...became the aging winter snow and the warm summer.
In the flames, Su Mingan, who was already floating in the air and turned into a transparent body, saw the white-haired old lady with her palm touching Dongxue's through the glass wall below.
The real Yang Xia took over control of his body.
...Because Yang Xia in the true sense is no longer young.
He floated in the sky and heard the voice of the system.
…
[“Dear, dear Dongxue, please listen.”]
[“You are not a victim of the times, nor are you an irresistible figure in the dark. You are not mediocre. You are my favorite past.”]
[“Dongxue, I will lead you to a bright future. You just need to indulge yourself, be proud, be happy, always be innocent, and then... be yourself.”]
[“You may be immersed in the past, but I can’t bear to destroy you.”]
[“I am Yang Xia, I am also you, I am the grown-up you.”]
[“After becoming an outstanding student and successfully escaping from this hell, I became a famous scientist in the field of brain, and my female identity was finally recognized by everyone.”]
[“I destroyed White Sands Paradise, destroyed such a black school.”]
[“I am getting older. I am becoming an old lady.”]
[“And in my past memories, you keep recurring, forever young.”]
[“I gradually began to regret it. Maybe I should pull you out of it. You shouldn’t be immersed in such painful memories.”]
[“I came back, time and time again, and you were never willing to run away with me.”]
[“You are unwilling to listen to my explanation unless I provide complete evidence.”]
【“But this time, I succeeded.”】
[“This time, I hope you can really escape and be yourself.”]
[“The tower never fell down.”]
[“…and we are forever young.”]
…
Dongxue has always wanted a dress, a bright red backless dress.
