Chapter 28 Don't Go, My Delusions!
Chapter 28
Fang Jue has been by Qin Yan's side every step of the way these past few days.
It was as if they were afraid she would leave without saying goodbye again.
Qin Yan looked at Fang Jue, who was dressed casually again, and raised an eyebrow: "Not going to work again?"
"Well, nothing's going on at the company, I'll keep you company."
Qin Yan felt that if Fang Jue continued like this, the company would go bankrupt sooner or later.
She told him several times to focus on his work, and that she wanted to go out for a stroll by herself.
But Fang Jue acted as if he couldn't hear her, changing the subject.
He had to follow her wherever she went.
Qin Yan compromised.
Let him follow if he wants.
She wouldn't mind having an extra person to carry her bag.
Where to go today?
The compromise resulted in being required to go out every day.
"A new amusement park has opened in recent years, let's go check it out."
Qin Yan wanted to say that he was so old yet still so childlike.
But seeing his sincere and expectant eyes, she ultimately didn't say anything.
"good."
Qin Yan hadn't been to an amusement park in a long time.
The last time I went to the amusement park was to complete the mission of ruining the male and female protagonists' date.
The amusement park wasn't crowded on a weekday.
At the entrance, a puppeteer stands, dressed in the amusement park's signature mascot costume, greeting visitors coming and going.
This was originally a very ordinary thing.
But the puppet actor seemed to freeze the moment his gaze fell on Qin Yan.
Qin Yan could even see the astonished expression on the face of the person inside the enormous doll's head.
She took a few steps toward the doll.
The doll was so frightened by her approach that it took a few steps back.
Qin Yan raised an eyebrow.
"What's wrong?"
Fang Jue's gentle voice sounded from behind.
"It's nothing, I just saw an interesting doll."
Then she watched as the doll stumbled and fell to the ground.
That's kind of funny.
Fang Jue stepped forward.
He bent down and squatted down: "Are you alright?"
"..."
The doll murmured softly, saying something unintelligible.
Fang Jue leaned forward: "What?"
He removed the doll's headgear to make it easier for the doll to get up.
Qin Yan and the puppeteer locked eyes.
"A ghost...a ghost!"
The puppeteer looked terrified and kept backing away, bracing himself on his elbows.
Qin Yan felt that he looked somewhat familiar.
Based on his behavior, he probably used to hang out with bigwigs in the government.
How did I end up becoming a puppeteer?
It's a terrible path with no future.
Fang Jue's expression changed slightly, but she quickly returned to normal.
"Let me help you up."
The puppeteer seemed not to hear, and kept staring at Qin Yan.
Qin Yan thought he was a real coward.
No wonder he's ended up like this.
No ambition.
Finally, several security guards arrived and dragged him away.
But he was still in shock, muttering to himself, and it was impossible to understand what he was saying.
Putting aside this incident, Qin Yan had a pretty good time.
I was thinking that I hadn't had enough fun today, but then Fang Jue said she bought a package ticket.
"Seven days?"
Qin Yan was speechless: "You bought a seven-day pass? Aren't you going to work?"
Fang Jue: "I took annual leave."
Qin Yan: "You have such a long annual leave?"
Fang Jue nodded seriously: "Yes, and there are overtime days off."
Fine, you're the boss, you make the decisions.
The two checked into the presidential suite of the themed hotel.
Good view and spacious.
Qin Yan felt like she was living a retired life ahead of schedule.
When she came out of the shower, she found that Fang Jue was not in the house.
A system notification sounded unexpectedly.
She hadn't heard this sound for a long time, and she was a little unaccustomed to it suddenly.
[Ding! Dear Special-Level Time Traveler Ms. Qin Yan, system vulnerability code 0674 has been identified as having awakened self-awareness, currently associated with the character Fang Jue. During the period of being out of contact, he forcibly dragged you into the instance world. According to regulations, we will be performing a formatting process on him.]
"Clatter".
The door opened.
Qin Yan and Fang Jue, who was standing outside the door, locked eyes.
Although he appeared calm, Qin Yan still keenly noticed the change in his emotions.
Beneath that calm face lay a turbulent undercurrent.
"Where did you go?"
Qin Yan spoke first.
Fang Jue closed the door behind him and walked towards Qin Yan.
"That staff member who worked with the doll this morning," Fang Jue said in a low voice, "I was a little worried about him, so I went to find out what was going on."
Qin Yan instinctively wanted to step back: "Have you finished understanding?"
Fang Jue stood in front of Qin Yan, the two of them no more than an arm's length apart.
This distance forced Qin Yan to look up.
Fang Jue lowered his head, his dark eyes reflecting Qin Yan's face: "Mm."
Qin Yan took a step back; this distance inexplicably made her feel somewhat suffocated.
"How is he?"
"His mental state isn't very good, but it shouldn't be a big problem."
Fang Jue looked at Qin Yan and suddenly laughed: "Auntie, why do you seem afraid of me?"
Qin Yan subconsciously retorted, "No."
Fang Jue said, enunciating each word clearly: "Then why did you run away when I got close to you?"
Because he looks dangerous right now.
Adding to what the system had just said, her mind was now a bit confused.
What exactly does awakening self-awareness refer to?
Fang Jue took a step forward, and Qin Yan took a step back.
Until she had nowhere left to retreat.
With her back pressed against the cold wall, she looked up and met the unfathomable eyes of the man above.
It was as if he wanted to see right through her.
"Auntie, why are you running?"
She was the one teasing him, which is why he called her that.
But the person in front of him was no longer the boy he once was.
This title adds a touch of taboo that's hard to define.
"A-Jue, it's too close."
"Are you close? But I feel you're still very far away."
His voice was deep, low, and hoarse: "I've been looking for you for a long time."
"Later, they said you were dead."
Fang Jue pursed her lips: "But I don't believe it."
"I won't believe you're dead until I see your body."
Qin Yan looked at him and felt that he was completely different from the man she had been a few days ago.
It was as if some kind of repressed emotion was being slowly released, all of which pressed down on her.
His large, broad hands encircled her waist.
The warmth of his palm soothed her lower back.
"I don't care who you are," Fang Jue tightened his grip, slowly pulling Qin Yan into his arms, "Don't go, okay?"
Qin Yan pressed her face against his chest and heard his strong, rapid heartbeat.
She tried to push him away, but Fang Jue held her tightly in his arms.
Qin Yan sighed: "What do you know?"
Fang Jue rested his chin on her head: "I don't know anything."
"I just miss you so much."
