Even though she was dissatisfied, Zhou Mengya still obediently began to show Tianning her experiences.
She had no choice. The demonic sword blocked her retreat, and she wasn't confident she could win. She could only settle for second best and take a gamble...
The scene then moved quickly, giving Tianning a glimpse into Zhou Mengya and Wu Hanyan's lives at school.
Unlike their previous falling out, the love between the young boy and girl on campus was passionate and intense. Wu Hanyan would write Zhou Mengya love letters that were several pages long, and Zhou Mengya would listen to Wu Hanyan read them aloud on the rooftop, expressing her love without any pretense. They would declare their relationship without caring about the strange looks from their classmates, and they would secretly hold hands in class behind the teacher's back... It's hard to imagine that this young couple would eventually end up like that.
Upon seeing these images again, Zhou Mengya smiled bitterly and sighed, "Everyone says there are no good men in this world, and that men with money will turn bad. I knew this from my father a long time ago, but back then I was still foolish enough to think that this man was different."
While speaking, Zhou Mengya kept a close eye on Tian Ning's expression.
However, compared to her love with Wu Hanyan, Tianning seemed more interested in her interactions with her mother every night after returning home, because at this time, Tianning would eat sunflower seeds less.
From Zhou Mengya's perspective, after school came her mother's endless nagging and accusations, which lasted for three consecutive nights, and her mother was the only one at home from beginning to end.
“She’s annoying,” Zhou Mengya said, her tone revealing her underlying emotions.
Although she wasn't entirely willing, at this point, she could openly reveal her love for Wu Hanyan to Tianning, so there was nothing she couldn't say about her family. If it could remind Tianning of her own family and make her understand that they were kindred spirits, there wasn't necessarily a bad thing.
Zhou Mengya said, "My mother is a pathetic Southeast Asian woman."
"Because of her husband's inaction, she treated her daughter as her husband, constantly pouring out her pain to her daughter. She hoped that her daughter would be successful and outstanding. She was like a mountain, imposing her obsession on her daughter, making it hard for me to breathe."
"So, Tianning, do you still remember your original home?"
"Perhaps you have a very happy family, loving parents, or perhaps your family situation is similar to mine. After all, if we were both living in that era of rapid development, we would all understand that as the economy improved, the changing social atmosphere made divorce and infidelity commonplace. At that time, a happy family was actually quite rare..."
Tian Ning shook his head and told the truth: "I don't remember."
She has no memories of her original world; she only knew from birth that she did not belong here.
"Then it's very likely that the Heavenly Dao altered your memories!" After her long explanation, she finally got the desired effect, and Zhou Mengya was somewhat excited.
She said, "Tianning! I can hardly imagine what you went through. After being discovered by the Heavenly Dao, although the Heavenly Dao did not kill you, your system was destroyed and your memories were erased. You became someone who seemed to be the chosen one, but in reality, you were the executioner of the Heavenly Dao! Because the Heavenly Dao rejected us outsiders, it designed this situation to make us kill each other!"
"That's too vicious... When you discover the truth one day, and see your bloodied hands and the comrades you killed, you'll definitely break down!"
At this point, Zhou Mengya could no longer hide her heartache. She even wanted to go forward and hug Tianning, but Tianning turned away to avoid her.
Zhou Mengya wasn't embarrassed. She continued, "I know it must be hard for you to accept, but you have to believe me! We transmigrators all had accidents in the real world, but we were brought here by the system because we weren't meant to die. As long as we complete the mission, we can go home!"
"So, is this the only option you have after completing the mission?" Tian Ning asked.
"Ah... of course not. We can also choose to stay. After completing the mission and accumulating enough energy, we can choose to continue staying here. Even if the system leaves, it won't be detected by the Heavenly Dao." Zhou Mengya said urgently, "That's not the point. The point is that we're all in this together!"
"Oh." Tian Ning's nonchalant attitude only made Zhou Mengya angrier.
Zhou Mengya forced herself to remain patient and said, "You clearly know 'sb,' 'TMD,' and 'zz'! Dare you say that besides us transmigrators, who in this world knows these words?!"
“But I just can’t remember.” Tian Ning blinked.
Zhou Mengya: "..."
