She dreamt of delicious food, and it felt like a vacation; she wished she could dream of it every day.
Ke Meiyu ran happily to the dining table, a bunch of seedless grapes in her left hand and a piece of soy milk cake in her right, occasionally sipping a sweet and sour fresh fruit tea. Beautiful, so beautiful!
As she was eating, she didn't realize that Ying Yan was standing opposite her with a faint smile, slowly drinking a glass of milk.
“Ying Yan,” she swallowed the food in her mouth and called out to him with a smile, “I’m absolutely certain this time that I’m dreaming. That Xiao Wen was just lying to me. If this were connected to reality, how would you know when I would arrive, and how could you prepare such a huge feast?”
"Besides, you look like the boss, but your personalities are completely different. He only knows how to torment me, doing whatever makes me unhappy. But you're different," she said, continuing her quest for food, "Ying Yan, next time I come, prepare more soy milk cheese milk tea, and handmade nut chocolates from Germany, and cheesecake like this too, and some other dishes..."
Ke Meiyu listed all the expensive foods she wanted to eat but was reluctant to spend money on.
Ying Yan smiled helplessly and agreed, then walked up to her and handed her some food, casually asking, "The future me wouldn't be so mean to you, would I?"
He longed to be with her every day, but could only see her once a year. Since he would be able to spend every day with her in the future, he should cherish and pamper her.
Ke Meiyu had completely taken this as her dream vacation, a complete package of food, entertainment, and leisure activities with a high-quality imitation of a powerful NPC. She said indignantly, "He's just twisted. He clearly has his white moonlight, but he covets my beauty and won't let go of me."
"He probably sees me as a substitute for his ideal woman. Although he treats me to the best food and drink, he acts like a patriarch, bossing me around and interfering in everything I do. Alas, I was born at the wrong time; in the apocalypse, I can only compromise and endure it..."
With each word she spoke, Ying Yan's face darkened further.
"You're so wronged by being with that guy?" This is getting more and more outrageous. Where did he even have a "white moonlight" in his heart?
Then, he subconsciously touched the pocket watch pendant around his neck, his eyelids lowered, unsure why his future self had changed so much.
There must be something about her that he couldn't control or predict.
Ke Meiyu stopped talking, and chuckled guiltily, "No, it's not that. Actually, besides being a bit nagging, I was very rebellious at first, so we had a falling out."
"But you can't blame me for this. You have to think from my perspective. He was like a god who came down from the sky, and I was grateful to him and wanted to worship him. But in the end, he turned out to be a beast in human form, treating me as his possession."
"Of course I must rise up in resistance! What's that saying again? Life is precious, love is more precious, but freedom is the most precious of all!"
At this point, Ke Meiyu suddenly felt a little sad: "Actually, it's not entirely his fault. It was the end of the world. How could everything be done according to my whims? No matter how capable he is, he's just an ordinary person who longs for love."
"It's really not easy for him to indulge me under such pressure. I didn't know how to be grateful. Although we've been together for ten years, I owe him so much."
"Perhaps that's why you, the NPC, resemble him. Is this what they call 'what you think about during the day, you dream about at night'?"
A moment of sadness made her lose interest in all the delicious food on the table.
Ying Yan gently pulled the person into his arms, "Why ten years?"
Why did you reappear in 1975?
Ke Meiyu's heart pounded. Even if it was a lie, she was unwilling to reveal the foolish and self-indulgent decision she had made back then.
"Huh, did you prepare this amusement park just for me?"
Quickly changing the subject, Ke Meiyu found a few brown paper bags at the nearby food stall, filled them with a lot of food, and then excitedly called him to go play.
She was quite happy in 1975, but she was far removed from all kinds of electronic products. It was like suddenly going from Shanghai to the countryside, from color screens to black and white screens, from a full-course banquet to light meals. At first it was novel, but after a while she still missed the future with advanced communication.
At least her life is colorful; she can travel the world in her spare time.
Thinking of this, Ke Meiyu's body stiffened. It seemed that there was a type of talisman that allowed for teleportation; once fully comprehended, the teleportation location could be increasingly farther away. At worst, there was the Emperor Wangchuk, which could transform into a bird flying across the ocean, allowing her to travel abroad for a while.
If I want to come back, I still have my cousin's wife's position—perfect!
Ke Meiyu dragged Ying Yan to ride almost all the amusement park rides, until her voice was hoarse. Just as she was wondering why this dream was too peaceful and beautiful, the roller coaster got stuck upside down in mid-air!
Ying Yan smiled faintly and held her hand tightly. "Are you scared?"
Ke Meiyu's hair was standing on end, and the feeling of being suspended upside down and congested with blood was incredibly real, not exactly comfortable. "I'm not scared, because this is a dream. At most, when I fall down, I might fall out of bed in reality..."
"No, Ninth Brother is here. He won't just stand by and watch me fall off the bed."
"Ninth Brother, is that Qin Yuanjiu?" Ying Yan asked with a hint of doubt.
"Yes, it's him. He's a major villain in the book, a pitiful character, but a good person." She said without hesitation, her head throbbing with excitement.
"Since we're still some time away from rescuing him, why don't you tell me about him?"
"Why talk about him?" Ke Meiyu said warily. "How about we talk about you?"
