Yin Ming's mood grew increasingly heavy.
He could actually understand Lingyao's reaction at that moment.
Although he did not explicitly ask Lingyao what he was afraid of, Lingyao did not explicitly say what he was afraid of.
But there are only two things to be afraid of in this matter.
Either this world is fake, or Yin Ming has taken over the original body.
Or perhaps... both.
The reason for the first one is simple—anyone would be afraid when they learn that the world they live in is just a novel.
Because this means that one's fate has always been in the hands of others—
What I thought was a well-considered decision turned out to be merely an instruction given by the person who fabricated this story.
Even knowing their situation, they are helpless and unable to resist.
They could only let the plot guide them toward the predetermined ending.
Who wouldn't be terrified of a fate that's completely beyond their control?
The male protagonist is no exception.
As for the other reason... Yin Ming didn't really want to face it.
In fact, when Yin Ming unexpectedly realized Ling Yao's feelings for him, he had wondered whether Ling Yao liked him or the villain from the original story.
Is this affection stemming from their daily companionship and the feelings that grow over time? Or... is it love that stems from the antagonist's act of saving their lives in the original story?
After all, in Lingyao's eyes, Yin Ming has always been the same Yin Ming.
Not to mention the original villain, who also accompanied Lingyao for two years.
Yin Ming didn't dare to think about it too much.
Therefore, he never intended to respond to Lingyao from the beginning, and had even prepared himself to never see him again in this life.
But when he saw Lingyao repeatedly putting himself in danger for him, Yin Ming couldn't bear to ignore him.
Later, without really understanding what was going on, she agreed to be with him.
I thought that no matter what, Yin Ming was now the villain from the original story.
He selfishly thought that as long as he didn't say anything, no one would know he was a visitor from another world.
But things still turned out beyond his expectations.
Since it can no longer be hidden, and this whole affair has brought up many other issues, there's no way to pretend to be ignorant and remain silent any longer.
And what Yin Ming was least willing to admit was that if Ling Yao was afraid because of this, then it was obvious that the scales in his heart were tipped towards the villain in the original work...
Thinking of this, Yin Ming felt a sudden surge of bitterness in his heart.
Fortunately, Lingyao has not reacted excessively so far, perhaps he still cherishes some old feelings for her.
Yin Ming had no idea what he would do next.
With his mind a jumble, Yin Ming forced a smile and tried to appear calm as he said:
“It’s alright, Yao, you don’t need to be afraid. As far as I know, some parts of the plot have been changed, for example—I’m still sitting here alive and well.”
"Therefore, the plots in the stories may not necessarily happen. Even if they do, we can definitely avoid them if we handle them properly."
"As for the original body..."
Before he could finish speaking, Lingyao suddenly shook his head.
"It's not because of that. I was just thinking... if Yin Ming doesn't belong to this world, what if he suddenly disappears one day?"
"Then how will I find Yin Ming? Could Yin Ming... take me with him?"
Yin Ming's previously low spirits suddenly stopped, and the disappointment on his face vanished, replaced by an expression of disbelief.
So none of what he was thinking had anything to do with it. What Lingyao was afraid of was that Yin Ming would leave him.
Does that mean he doesn't blame Yin Ming for taking over the body of the original villain?
