This is the third day since Meng Yao returned to Planet K.
When the mysterious head of the headquarters asked her which planet she wanted to be resurrected on, she replied that she wanted to go to Blue City.
Blue City is a small city on Star K. The pace of life is slow, but the residents have a high happiness index. This was what Meng Yao had planned from the beginning.
In less than two days, Meng Yao had completely lost interest in this place. Everything had met her expectations, and her life was leisurely and comfortable, but she always felt that something was missing. There were many ways to entertain herself, but she always felt that her life was blank.
Meng Yao's mind was often flooded with memories uncontrollably, making her feel anxious and uneasy.
*
Gradually regaining consciousness, Meng Yao didn't know why she became transparent. She returned to the world of books again, but could only see from the perspective of a bystander.
It stands to reason that after leaving the original body, the system will automatically generate a consciousness to replace it, so as to ensure the normal operation of the mission world. But I don't know if there is a bug in the headquarters, Meng Yao knows that the self in the book world has "disappeared".
Fans only knew that Meng Yao was traveling abroad and would need a long time to come back, but they never stopped cheering and supporting her.
When her sight turned, it turned out to be Xu Shuiqing's room. Meng Yao saw that the other party had sent her many photos, but did not wait for her reply. Xu Shuiqing sighed disappointedly.
Meng Yao's heart moved slightly, but the next second she saw Meng Yupu and Jiang Hongmin. They didn't know when half of their hair had turned white. Jiang Hongmin often held her photo and cried until dawn.
Meng Yao couldn't bear to see Jiang Hongmin cry. She was about to say something to comfort her but found out that she was now "transparent" and the other party couldn't hear her at all.
Suddenly, she felt a sharp pain in her head and Meng Yao couldn't help but cover her head. When she opened her eyes again, she found herself in Huan Zhen's office. She had stayed here for quite some time and was very familiar with it.
She saw the man sitting quietly at the desk. He was neatly dressed, his leather shoes were clean and shiny, and he seemed to be no different from before. But when he looked up, she discovered that his eyes were full of red bloodshot and there were some dark circles under his eyes. She didn't know how long he had been suffering from insomnia.
Meng Yao unconsciously clenched her own hands.
Xia Yansen was right next to Rong Yan, trying to persuade him earnestly, urging him to see a psychiatrist, urging him to have a meal...
The only response he got was a pen thrown to the floor. The other party's voice was not cold, but rather a more terrifying lack of emotion.
"go out."
Xia Yansen had no choice but to leave the house helplessly.
Now there is no one else except Meng Yao and Rong Wei. Of course, in Rong Wei's eyes, there is only himself.
Meng Yao saw Rong Yin sitting in silence for a while, not knowing what he was thinking. His expression was terrifyingly calm.
Suddenly he took out a small box from the drawer. Inside was a "bowl"-shaped handicraft. After taking a closer look, he felt it was familiar. It was the coconut he gave to Rong Yan.
Since it was impossible for the coconut to remain intact for two years, he made it into handicrafts.
This was the first gift I gave him, but it turned out he had never eaten it.
Through the unclosed drawer, Meng Yao saw many familiar little stones and some dry grass rings...
These are all "insincere" gifts from me.
Meng Yao unconsciously took two steps forward. She looked at it in disbelief, her steps a little unsteady.
Rong Wei just stared at the coconut in his hand. His expression never changed, more like some kind of excessive numbness.
He stroked his fingers twice, as if trying to see something through these objects.
Suddenly he raised his head and looked straight in the direction of Meng Yao.
Meng Yao clenched his hands, and for a moment he almost felt that Rong Yan could see him, but this was simply impossible.
Rong Yan blinked, and sure enough, he did not take the next step.
Just when Meng Yao breathed a sigh of relief, she saw the other party's eyes suddenly turn red without warning. He held the stone tightly in his hand and complained painfully:
"You still don't want me..."
Meng Yao was inexplicably flustered.
She had never seen Rong Yan look so fragile before. Even a cold person like him could have tears in his eyes...
"I didn't, I didn't..."
She herself didn't know what she was explaining.
Meng Yao ran over quickly and stretched out her hand. Just before she touched him, she saw darkness again.

“Rong Yan!!”
Meng Yao woke up suddenly and sat up from the bed.
She was sweating all over and her hair on her forehead was wet and sticky.
"What's wrong?"
A hand gently stroked her forehead and helped her comb her hair.
"Is this a nightmare? Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Meng Yao suddenly grabbed his hand, and finally felt the reality: "Rong Yan... I can touch you, I don't want to abandon you..."
Rong Wei looked at her red eyes and felt so distressed that he quickly took her into his arms and gently coaxed her, "You had a nightmare. It's okay. It's all over."
"Am I having a nightmare?" Meng Yao looked around at the familiar layout, as if she had escaped a disaster.
"You must be tired from yesterday's film festival. You should rest for a while." He was about to get up: "I'll get you a glass of water."
Meng Yao hurriedly grabbed his hand and said, "Don't go. Stay by my side and don't leave."
Rong Wei had no choice but to lie back down, hugging her and feeling her dependence. He was surprised and puzzled: "Why are you so clingy to me?"
"I had a nightmare, and it will only get better if you hold me."
The mechanical voice sounded in my mind again:
[What do you think of the tasker? Do you choose to return to Planet K?]
Meng Yao talked to it in her heart.
[Can I stay in this world?]
[We return home after completing the mission. We have never had such a rule.]
[You said that if I complete the mission, you can help me revive on any planet. Now I want to continue living in the book world. Your headquarters should be able to do it, right?]
[… We will be connecting with the project leader soon, please wait.]
The waiting time seemed incomparably long. Meng Yao simply buried her head in Rong Yan's chest. Only when she smelled the calm woody scent on him could she dispel the dreams that she did not want to recall in her mind.
Rong Wei just patted her back gently.
[In view of the outstanding performance of the tasker, the headquarters is willing to realize this wish for you.]
[Please note that once the procedure is made, it cannot be taken back. Please confirm again.]
[I'm going to stay here.]
…
[Dear tasker, the headquarters wishes you a happy life, and the K Galaxy thanks you for your efforts! Goodbye!]
After an unknown amount of time, the mechanical sound in her mind completely disappeared. Meng Yao knew that she was no longer disturbed by the headquarters and she could now survive as an independent individual.
That horrible dream was foreshadowing something, and Meng Yao knew that if she couldn't hold on to what she had now, she would lose it.
Meng Yao put her arms around Rong Yan's waist and said slowly:
"I find that I can't leave you either."
"We will not separate."
The hot kiss fell on his lips and rolled around, as if he could make people feel his eagerness and excitement.
He kept responding in her ear:
"I love you… "
"Yaoyao, I love you..."
