Chapter 111: I Want To Do As I Please (13)
The medical examination showed nothing wrong with Yu Qici, but she remained unconscious. Jiang Zhiyan leaned against the bed, looking at Yu Qici’s sleeping face: “Did she faint because she realized how outrageous her words were?”
“It’s not impossible,” the System said, observing Jiang Zhiyan’s expression and glancing at the background data. “Host, it’s important to maintain a positive mood.”
“Mm,” Jiang Zhiyan responded.
Although she said that, there was still no smile on her face.
Jiang Zhiyan’s dejection was difficult to express in words. Xie Liaoyi hadn’t meant to hurt her, she had just forgotten, and Jiang Zhiyan herself wasn’t a good person, so her suspicion was understandable.
If she looked at it logically, without any emotions, Xie Liaoyi hadn’t done anything wrong, but she couldn’t help but feel emotional.
Thinking about the words Yu Qici had spoken in Xie Liaoyi’s voice made Jiang Zhiyan feel very sad.
“Host, are you crying?” the System asked cautiously, looking at Jiang Zhiyan’s expression.
Jiang Zhiyan didn’t speak, just took a deep breath.
“So what exactly did you say?”
Yu Qici repeated her words, and whispers echoed around her again.
“Those words were indeed very hurtful,” the other Xie Liaoyis nodded.
“I know,” Yu Qici said, rubbing her temples. “So what do we do now?”
“This doesn’t seem like something that can be solved with just kisses, hugs, and acting spoiled. The last one was a bit easier since her mind wasn’t working properly, but your mind is fine,” Xie Liaoyi Number One said.
For the first time, Yu Qici was a bit envious of the others whose minds weren’t working properly.
“Experiencing this so many times, entering the next world is a nightmare for her, experiencing our amnesia, estrangement, and suspicion again and again, even she can’t stand it.”
“But no matter how angry or upset she is, she never takes it out on us, it would be good if she could vent her frustrations.”
“She only throws small tantrums, then comforts us in return.”
“So the most important thing now is how to awaken quickly, so this is the last time we hurt her.”
“No, no, no, I think the most important thing now is me,” Yu Qici raised her hand. “After all, I’m about to wake up.”
Everyone’s gaze fell on her.
“Beg for forgiveness,” the Xie Liaoyi beside her said.
Yu Qici stroked her chin: “That doesn’t sound so bad.”
“Aren’t we all Xie Liaoyi? Don’t you know what I’m thinking?” Yu Qici smiled.
…
When Yu Qici opened her eyes, she saw Jiang Zhiyan sitting beside her. She seemed to be lost in thought, her eyes red-rimmed, as if she had just been crying. Yu Qici froze for a second and reached out, taking Jiang Zhiyan’s hand, which was resting on the edge of the bed.
“I’m sorry,” Yu Qici said.
Jiang Zhiyan turned to look at Yu Qici: “You’re awake?”
Her voice was calm. Yu Qici sat up, kissed the corner of Jiang Zhiyan’s mouth, and said, “I’m sorry, I woke up late again.”
Jiang Zhiyan bit her lip, took a deep breath, tears welling up in her eyes: “You did wake up too late, you even doubted me, do you subconsciously think I would hurt you?”
She did have the urge to destroy everything, but she wouldn’t destroy anything Xie Liaoyi cared about, even if it greatly displeased her.
“I’m sorry,” Yu Qici pulled Jiang Zhiyan into a hug. “That wasn’t what I truly thought, it was the female lead’s subconscious, not mine.”
“Passing the blame,” Jiang Zhiyan’s tears fell onto Yu Qici’s arm.
“We’re trying,” Yu Qici said, kissing Jiang Zhiyan’s cheek. “I’ll definitely wake up sooner in the next world.”
Jiang Zhiyan raised an eyebrow, looking at Yu Qici: “That’s a big promise.”
Yu Qici wiped away Jiang Zhiyan’s tears.
“You not only doubted me, you even helped others plot against me,” Jiang Zhiyan took a deep breath.
“Why don’t you hit me a couple of times?”
Jiang Zhiyan lightly punched Yu Qici’s thigh twice.
“Wait a moment,” Yu Qici released Jiang Zhiyan.
“What are you going to do?” Jiang Zhiyan watched as Yu Qici got out of bed.
“Just wait for me.” Yu Qici quickly put on her clothes and left.
Jiang Zhiyan wiped away her tears, lay down, and stared at the ceiling.
The system observed Jiang Zhiyan’s expression and glanced at the data, she was clearly crying, but her mood index had increased significantly, her Host’s mood was truly a mystery, sometimes she felt Jiang Zhiyan had difficulty regulating her emotions, but sometimes she felt her mentality was too good.
“She said they’re trying, does that mean she can contact other fragments?” Jiang Zhiyan stopped crying and said thoughtfully.
System: ?
“Host, how can you still focus on such details at a time like that?” The System didn’t understand.
“I remember everything she says,” Jiang Zhiyan frowned. “If they can contact each other, but haven’t fully awakened, does that mean only their subconsciousness is awake? They can only communicate subconsciously? So that’s why the subconscious can occasionally control the body to perform certain actions in this world… that makes sense.”
“But how did they contact each other?”
Jiang Zhiyan suddenly felt much better, at least Xie Liaoyi was also trying to meet her, what was this called? This was called mutual pining! It was normal for a beautiful love story to encounter some obstacles.
The system couldn’t understand why Jiang Zhiyan’s mood index had increased again, Xie Liaoyi wasn’t even here.
It had never seen anyone so easy to coax.
“You can go now,” Jiang Zhiyan said, yawning and half-closing her eyes.
“I’m leaving, I’m leaving.” The System glanced at Yu Qici’s coordinates, it really shouldn’t stay here any longer, there might be some inappropriate scenes later.
Jiang Zhiyan sat by Xie Liaoyi’s bed for a whole day. She had been working overtime to manufacture the mech these past few days and was very tired. After lying down for a while, she started to doze off.
“Are you asleep?”
Jiang Zhiyan, hearing Yu Qici’s voice, forced her eyes open, sat up, looked at Yu Qici, froze for a second, and her sleepiness dissipated: “What are you doing?”
“Begging for forgiveness.” Yu Qici showed the small whip behind her back. Judging by its appearance, she had found it in one of the basement rooms. “I couldn’t find any thorny branches, I don’t think there are any here.”
Yu Qici knelt on one knee, looking at Jiang Zhiyan: “Do you want to hit me a few times?”
She moved closer, kissed Jiang Zhiyan’s hand, which was resting on the bed, looked up, and gazed at Jiang Zhiyan with clear eyes.
This time, Jiang Zhiyan understood clearly, she was hinting at something.
“No,” Jiang Zhiyan withdrew her hand.
Yu Qici handed the small whip to Jiang Zhiyan: “It’s specially made, it’s fine.”
“Let’s sleep,” Jiang Zhiyan tossed the whip aside.
“Okay,” Yu Qici moved onto the bed. “Tell me if you’re feeling down.”
Jiang Zhiyan looked at Yu Qici, then snuggled into her arms: “I am feeling down. Before, I just wanted to find all of you quickly, but now I want to stay in one place, I don’t want to see your cold face anymore, even if you don’t remember me… I don’t want to hear you misunderstand me again.”
“That’s fine, let them wait, lifespans are quite long in this world,” Yu Qici said.
“But the longer I wait, the more apprehensive I feel, it’s terrifying, I actually have such emotions,” Jiang Zhiyan muttered. “Just thinking about this happening again in the next world makes me feel terrible.”
“That means you’re becoming more and more human,” Yu Qici said, kissing her hair.
“Maybe I’ll end up blaming you later.”
“That’s only right.”
“In these two worlds, I couldn’t help but capture you directly… next time, I might really lock you up,” Jiang Zhiyan continued.
“It’s fine,” Yu Qici said, fumbling and handing a chain to Jiang Zhiyan.
Jiang Zhiyan: ?
Using the light from the window, Jiang Zhiyan saw that Yu Qici had attached a chain to the collar: ???
When did she do that? It wasn’t there before.
“There’s no need for this,” Jiang Zhiyan reached out to remove the chain, but Yu Qici stopped her.
Yu Qici kissed her chin and blinked: “This is called ‘fun’.”
“I know, but I’m still angry, so bear with it, I’m going to sleep.”
“Okay.”
Jiang Zhiyan released Yu Qici and moved to the side.
Yu Qici stared at Jiang Zhiyan’s back for a while, then snuggled up to her again: “I can’t sleep without you.”
“You slept very well the past few days, you even said you couldn’t sleep with me beside you,” Jiang Zhiyan replied with her eyes closed.
“That must be because my mind wasn’t working properly,” Yu Qici said seriously.
Jiang Zhiyan: …
Jiang Zhiyan was truly tired, she didn’t argue with Yu Qici anymore and drifted off to sleep. Yu Qici had been unconscious during the day, her mind highly tense, now that she was awake in every sense of the word, she could finally relax.
However, Yu Qici couldn’t sleep, after all, she had slept for a whole day, she leaned against Jiang Zhiyan, her thoughts a jumbled mess.
Since the fragments could contact each other and even enter the same space, then logically, they could also merge within that space… the stronger the soul fragment, the less it would be affected, that way, Jiang Zhiyan wouldn’t have to endure this again and again.
But she still didn’t understand how they could contact each other.
She initially suspected that some fragments in other worlds had already awakened and ascended to godhood, transcending the world consciousness, this was currently the only feasible way she could think of to establish a cross-world communication network and contact other fragments.
No, wait…
Yu Qici frowned, if they could temporarily replace the world consciousness, that would also work, but that would be too difficult, and very dangerous if not handled properly.
But if all of them could ascend to godhood, or temporarily replace the world consciousness, then Jiang Zhiyan would only have to wait for them to find her.
She moved closer to Jiang Zhiyan, leaning against her arm.
