Seventeen-year-old Xiao Yunting is very shy. Even though he is a young boss in the whole neighborhood and no one dares to offend him, he always feels restrained in front of Ye Lan.
After he spoke, Ye Lan gave up and walked to the window, looking at the lights of the thousands of houses downstairs, and said casually: "Your eighteenth birthday is coming soon. Have you thought about how to celebrate it? How about booking a restaurant and having fun with your men."
Adult birthday parties are always grand.
Ye Lan had even thought in advance about what dish the chef would prepare for him that day.
The young man behind him said nothing, as if he was thinking seriously. After a while, he whispered, "When are you leaving?"
Ye Lan paused as she wiped her wet hair. Her gaze shifted from the bright lights to the distance, catching sight of a bit of scenery shrouded in darkness. She sighed inwardly, "When did you discover this?"
Xiao Yunting pursed his lips, his tone a little difficult, "Always."
Um?
Ye Lan turned to look at him, and when their eyes met, he nodded slightly in understanding and said, "That's right, you are very smart."
And, amazing willpower.
Most people will choose to forget and escape when faced with too painful memories, or use false dreams to comfort and deceive themselves.
Ye Lan was helping him weave his dreams with her own hands.
But Xiao Yunting still retained his original memory and always remembered that she was an outsider who appeared out of nowhere.
On such a calm and ordinary night, Xiao Yunting chose to uncover the truth himself.
"What do you want me to do to go back?" He took a few steps forward, but when he reached the table, he didn't dare to go any closer.
Ye Lan then realized that the other party seemed to have always kept this distance from her and never crossed the line, but she didn't understand.
"Aren't you happy that I'm staying here?"
This is where she broke the reincarnation formation and forcibly merged into Xiao Yunting's sea of consciousness. Here they can see and touch, and the whole world can be moved by his will.
How many people who have experienced too much sadness in their past lives wish to have such a dream and never wake up.
Ye Lan felt like a bit like a banshee who wanted to trap people in the illusion.
"Gladly." Xiao Yunting answered without hesitation, but soon his eyes fell on Ye Lan's shoulder again, and his voice was cold, "But I can't let you die here."
Ye Lan was stunned for a moment, then lowered his eyes to see that his body had solidified to his shoulders. He didn't expect that even this was noticed by the other party, and felt a little embarrassed for a moment.
She had said before that the reincarnation formation had prevented countless powerful people from rescuing the person involved, and instead trapped them in the other party's sea of consciousness and lost themselves in it.
This is when they actively break the magic circle when awakening the consciousness of those close to them, forcibly tampering with the memories of the parties involved, attempting to erase these sad and painful pasts.
The price is that it will gradually condense into a solid entity and completely become a part of the memory, and the external body will slowly die.
"I don't know where you come from or who you are, but you shouldn't be here." Xiao Yunting calmly judged her stay or departure, with a frighteningly rational mind.
Ye Lan looked at him quietly for a long time, then spoke in a cold voice, "If I leave, those memories will replay themselves."
Everything will return to the time when she broke her memory and proceed along the original trajectory.
The good things he is experiencing now will become torture that will come back to him a thousand times over.
Xiao Yunting lowered his eyes slightly, thinking of that bloody night, his eyes darkened, "I know."
Knowing that starting over again might cause double the pain.
Now all memories will fall apart and cease to exist.
But he couldn't let Ye Lan die.
A long silence spread in the house. After a while, Ye Lan finally compromised and gave up the operation of the illusion banshee.
"I'll go inside and change."
You can't leave in your pajamas.
This was the real world for them now, and she didn't want to go out in the middle of the night and scare the neighbors.
When she came out again, Xiao Yunting was still standing by the table, but he had a hair dryer in his hand.
"Can I help you blow dry your hair?"
The seventeen-year-old boy is still very tactful. He has no means to deal with the person he likes, and he dare not act rashly.
Blowing hair is an intimate act that he has always wanted to do but has never dared to do.
Hearing this, Ye Lan lowered his eyes and smiled, then walked over and sat next to him. Seeing him frantically looking for the power strip, he couldn't help but grab his hand and said, "Don't you have anything to ask me?"
Xiao Yunting froze, and almost failed to install the plug, but he finally asked, "Do we know each other in real life?"
In his understanding, being able to forcibly intervene in other people's memories is beyond the scope of science and is not within his reach.
So he speculated in many ways whether the girl had accepted some commissioned task.
But the next second, Ye Lan nodded slightly, giving him a reassurance.
"Yeah, very familiar."
Xiao Yunting's eyes lit up instantly, and he couldn't help but feel excited. His voice was no longer as cold as usual. "Then what is our relationship?"
This is the key point.
Seeing him cautiously probing for a long time before daring to ask, Ye Lan couldn't help but find it funny. Recalling some past events, she reached out and hugged his waist without warning. A hint of teasing was mixed in her cold voice, "You are the man I want, but I can't have."
Well, at this point my abdominal muscles are pretty well developed and they feel pretty good.
Xiao Yunting: “!!!”
I was so shocked by the answer that I didn't even notice I was being groped.
"Ahem, don't joke with me."
It took him a long time to remember to push the person in his arms away, but he didn't know where to put his hands.
