【Zhīzhī!!!!!】007's tone was excited.
"What is it?" Lín Zhīzhī asked, confused.
【Zhīzhī!!! The bug at headquarters has been fixed!!!! You can go home!!!】
!!!
"Is that true? I can go home."
Lín Zhīzhī couldn't believe it was real. Since arriving here, her nerves had been taut with loneliness and isolation. Now, she could finally go home.
Lín Zhīzhī cried out of excitement.
Lín Zhīzhī was teleported home and saw her mother cooking.
Lín Zhīzhī immediately pounced, hugging her mother from behind.
"Mom, I missed you so much," Lín Zhīzhī said, her voice choked with tears.
"What's wrong, my little baby? Who bullied you?" Her mother removed Lín Zhīzhī's arms, turned around, and wiped the tears from Lín Zhīzhī's face.
Seeing Lín Zhīzhī pouting, with red-rimmed eyes and a wronged expression, reminded her mother of how Lín Zhīzhī looked when she was bullied as a child and ran home to her.
Her mother's heart ached. "Baby, what's wrong?" her mother asked, worried.
Lín Zhīzhī pouted, her eyes full of tears, her red eyes slightly open, shaking her head back and forth.
"It's okay, it's all over, everything is in the past."
"That's good. If you have any problems, you must tell me," her mother said, stroking Zhīzhī's head with a loving expression.
Lín Zhīzhī, with tears in her eyes, nodded forcefully.
"Mm."
"Mom made your favorite sweet and sour pork ribs. Go wash your hands, the food will be ready soon."
Her mother said while stir-frying.
"Okay," Lín Zhīzhī replied obediently.
Lín Zhīzhī sat at the dining table, watching her mother's busy back. She curved her lips. She felt very happy, yet it felt a little unreal.
She always felt on edge, as if something was about to happen.
"Zhīzhī, Zhīzhī..."
What sound was that? Was someone calling me? Lín Zhīzhī shook her head in confusion, not thinking much of it.
"Zhīzhī, Zhīzhī" The voice grew clearer, and Lín Zhīzhī's expression became calm.
"Wake up quickly, you're in an Illusion realm!" 007's voice came through clearly.
"That's right. How could this possibly be real? How could I have returned home?" Lín Zhīzhī lowered her head, her voice low and self-mocking.
Lín Zhīzhī regained her senses and watched as the mother and home in front of her shattered into countless pieces and disappeared.
"Mom, Mom, don't go!" Lín Zhīzhī cried, reaching out and running forward.
"Mom!" Lín Zhīzhī suddenly jolted awake.
"Junior Sister, you're awake? Are you alright?" Shěn Yīyuè asked worriedly.
"I'm fine," Lín Zhīzhī said softly, her eyes downcast.
"Younger Junior Brother hasn't woken up yet," Lín Yànzhī said gently.
"What do we do? The longer it takes, the easier it is to get completely lost. Right now, our Little Junior Brother is probably trapped in a nightmare. It will be very difficult for him to get out on his own. I'll go into his sea of consciousness to help him," Lín Yànzhī thought this was the best plan so far.
Lín Zhīzhī cursed viciously in her heart, wishing Xiè Yún would get stuck in his dream forever and never wake up.
Lín Yànzhī sat on the ground, closed his eyes, and prepared to enter Xiè Yún's sea of consciousness.
"No, his rejection of me is too strong." Lín Yànzhī's attempt failed, and he shook his head slightly.
"I'll try," Shěn Yīyuè said softly, her thin lips parting.
Shěn Yīyuè shook her head slightly. No, she couldn't either. Xiè Yún's defenses were too strong.
Shěn Yīyuè and Lín Yànzhī simultaneously turned to look at Lín Zhīzhī.
Lín Zhīzhī startled and flinched backward.
"No!!! No!!! I can't. I'm only at Foundation Establishment, while Senior Brothers and Senior Sister are already at Golden Core."
He was going to kill her anyway, and she was avoiding him. How could she willingly approach him? Was she tired of living?
"Junior Sister, precisely because you are at Foundation Establishment, your threat to him is smaller. Furthermore, as an alchemist, you are more likely to be empathetic," Lín Yànzhī said gently.
Seeing her Senior Brother and Senior Sister constantly looking at her.
Lín Zhīzhī swallowed nervously. "Then I'll try," Lín Zhīzhī said softly.
What a joke. The male and female leads couldn't do it, so how could she? She just needed to try casually, then say it didn't work, and finally act disappointed. Then this matter would be un Srelated to her.
She wanted to save him, but she lacked the ability. Unable to help him, she could only let him stay trapped in the nightmare a little longer, Lín Zhīzhī chuckled inwardly.
Lín Zhīzhī stood casually on the ground and gave it a casual try, already preparing her act.
Lín Zhīzhī's voice was listless, and her expression was self-blaming. "I'm sorry, Senior Brother, I..." Lín Zhīzhī's words were interrupted.
"Zhīzhī, he isn't rejecting you," Lín Yànzhī's surprised voice rang out.
"What???? You're saying he's not rejecting me?" Lín Zhīzhī was utterly shocked. He wasn't rejecting her?
"Zhīzhī," Lín Yànzhī looked at her expectantly, as if she were the hope of the world.
Seeing Zhīzhī's hesitant expression.
"Go ahead without worry. If it becomes too dangerous, I'll pull your spiritual sense out."
"Senior Brother, I don't think I can do it," Lín Zhīzhī said, her lips pressed together, looking down, her hands clasped in front of her, the fingers of one hand interlocked with the other, her voice heavy with inner conflict.
"Junior Sister, you can do it. Senior Brother believes in you," Lín Yànzhī said with a determined gaze.
"Junior Sister, don't worry, just do your best," Shěn Yīyuè advised.
This...
It seemed she had no choice but to help. Sigh, living is so difficult.
She really didn't want to go. As soon as she entered, she would definitely discover Xiè Yún's weakness, and he would never let her go.
Alas, Lín Zhīzhī sighed deeply. Life is hard, Zhīzhī sighs.
She was ready.
Lín Zhīzhī's spiritual sense drifted and entered Xiè Yún's body.
