Two
I quickly finished my shower, lay down on the bed, and I desperately needed a good sleep, as well as a dreamless slumber! Sleepiness overcame me, I turned over, and entered the realm of dreams
Everything in the real world is so beautiful! I want to cherish each day even more! I feel as if I am filled with strength, going to school with high spirits and determination
Yuan Yichen's complexion was somewhat unwell, as if a layer of dark clouds had enveloped his handsome face. I believe the reason I have always been unable to get close to him deep down is his uncontrollable sense of gloom.
"Such a small heart... is it really just an act, or is it genuine?" He lowered his head, his expression somewhat bewildered
Yan Yi Mu suddenly turned around to look at me and asked
The warmth I once cherished has turned into indifference, and the temperature around me seems to have dropped several degrees; sitting next to him, I feel as if I am on the verge of suffocation. After school, I dashed to the snack shop at the school gate and bought a pile of my favorite snacks to indulge myself. Squatting on the ground, I was enjoying my feast when a voice filled with surprise suddenly sounded from behind me.
"Xiao Wu, you are here!" Yuan Yichen turned his head and immediately saw me, revealing a broad smile as he strode towards me.
From a distance, I saw Yuan Yichen lingering outside the school gate, appearing to be waiting for someone. Dressed in white clothes and white pants, he had his head slightly lowered, with both hands in his pockets, and his light pink lips tightly pressed together, exuding a sense of aloof elegance. Yan Yimu embodies a distant indifference, while Yuan Yichen represents a distant elegance. I believe this is also the reason why I find Yuan Yichen difficult to approach
Wake up, Yu Yingwu, who do you think you are? Changing the fate of others! This comic cannot continue to be drawn, and they will no longer exist! I pinched my thigh hard, finally ending all of this; I cannot continue! I resolutely placed the comic book in the drawer
"I think we should investigate the matter of the Dream Soul with the library, as well as your comic. You have a connection to the Dream Soul, and we also appear in your comic, the two of us. Perhaps we are both related to the Dream Soul." Yuan Yichen grasped my shoulder, perhaps out of excitement, he held on a bit tightly
What are you thinking about
I shuddered in fear, staring at him in panic: "I didn't think of anything!"
Just as I took a step forward, I caught a glimpse of Yan Yimu not far away. He stood in the corner with a backpack, sunlight sparsely illuminating him. When did he appear here? I felt a strange sensation in my heart
Yuan Yichen saw me stop and looked at me with a puzzled expression. I quickly put on a smile and walked with him towards the school, but my mind was occupied with Yan Yimu. Did he intentionally stop at a distance, or was it just a coincidence? I always felt that Yan Yimu was not that simple
That night, I truly did not dream. When I woke up in the morning, I could hardly believe it. Looking at the bright sunlight outside the window, I stretched out in a big yawn. The sense of satisfaction from sleeping in the real world is far greater than that in the world of comics. Although there is also a cycle of day and night there, I always feel that the boundaries of time are very vague, as if I have slept yet also as if I have not, an indescribable sense of illusion.
I quickly turned around; it was Yuan Yichen. We returned to the real world together
Yuan Yichen, you have returned as well, how wonderful! I quickly discarded the snacks and stood up, feeling relieved. Both Yuan Yichen and I are back, so there should no longer be any issues with the comics.
I scratched my head, maintaining a smile on my face: "Hello, what a coincidence."
I have been waiting for you. Let's go to the library this afternoon. I want to research from a historical perspective; there should be some clues. Yuan Yichen's emotions were somewhat agitated, as if he was quite certain that we would find clues today
Alright, see you after school then. I could only nod and said, "Go to school first."
Upon returning home, I couldn't help but pick up the comic book to take a look. The plot was frozen at the moment I jumped off the building, and there had been no further updates. It seems that as long as I leave that place, the story will not continue, but...! Before I entered, the plot had changed as well! I have a bit of a headache; this truly is a comic book with a captivating allure!
I dare not speak any further and instead pick up the book to read attentively
While in the classroom, I kept wanting to find an opportunity to ask Yan Yimu, but staring at his indifferent face, I couldn't bring myself to speak. Moreover, how should I ask? He would surely mock me for my wild thoughts.
"Xiao Wu, there probably isn't much information at the museum. I think you can first ask your parents or grandparents to look into the family history." Yuan Yichen sighed, softening his expression. The gloom on his face dissipated, replaced by a gentle smile. "I know you just returned and must be very tired, feeling amazed. So am I... Let's take a good rest today, and we can continue our conversation tomorrow," he said gently.
I involuntarily took two steps back, broke free from his hand, and said with a frown: "I need to investigate, but it's too late now. I'm going home first, let's start again tomorrow! We can go to the museum first to take a look. Although the exhibition on Dream Souls has already ended, there must be relevant materials we can investigate."
I locked the comic book in the drawer, intending never to touch it again. However, for some reason, the image of Yan Yimu keeps flashing in my mind. I do not know what impact my departure has had on his life, nor do I know if he will revert to the useless Yan Yimu he once was. Should I change his fate?
I felt an indescribable sensation in my heart, so I could only nod in agreement: "Well, let's talk more when we meet tomorrow." After saying this, I hurriedly left.
I am walking towards the school
"Yuying, Xiaowu, you have returned as well!"
