It was raining lightly outside the window. Li Mengli put her palms against the glass window and stared blankly. A faint blue light shone through the skin behind her.
"Who's there?!" A ball of flame burst out from Fang Xiaoling's palm, illuminating the figure in a maid's uniform on the sofa, "Mengli?"
"I'm sorry, Sister Xiaoling, I scared you." Li Mengli looked at the flames reflected in the window and sighed without looking back, "Hey - as expected, no matter where you are, you are superfluous. I will go back to the room right now. .”
"No? I was looking for you." The [Red Lotus] flame in Fang Xiaoling's palm gradually converged and extinguished, "No wonder your door doesn't open no matter how hard I knock, I originally planned to come down and ask Meng Ling...
Where is Meng Ling? Didn't she come down just now? "
"She took Xiaozhi to the basement." Li Mengli looked at the window, and the fire in her eyes gradually disappeared, "She took Xiaozhi away in a hurry without even saying hello to me.
For Meng Ling, Xiaozhi is much more important than me..."
"How could it be? Mengling must have something very important." Fang Xiaoling groped for a long time on the wall in the dark, "Where is the light switch in the store?"
Snapped.
Mengli turned on the light, and the entire cafe suddenly became brighter.
"Oh, it's right at your hand, why don't you turn on the light?" Fang Xiaoling sat down next to her, "Mengli, I've noticed since I came back that you seem to have something on your mind? What's wrong?"
Li Mengli shook her head gently and said calmly: "It's nothing, I just can't sleep and don't know what to do, so I'm sitting here."
"Hmm - I heard Meng Ling say before when I was at Carnival Island that you have something similar to an energy reactor installed in your body, right? It can continuously supply you with all the energy your body needs without eating or sleeping. If you want, you don't even need to breathe, right?"
"Yes, eating is a waste of food, and breathing is a waste of air." Li Mengli looked out the window, "Sister Xiaoling, do you think that according to the current time, Brother Hu has been dead for many years?
What kind of wife would he marry?
What will his offspring look like? "
"Mengli...you should know that Tian Hu was possessed at that time, right?" Fang Xiaoling suddenly felt that Mengli was quite pitiful.
In the last second she remembered when she was resurrected, the man she liked was inserting his arm into her heart.
What a devastating memory that is.
"I know, even when I am about to die, I know that Brother Hu did not do that thing." Li Mengli still looked at the window, "When Sister Luo Lan was possessed, I could only chat with Brother Hu through the mirror.
Later, gradually, I became somewhat accustomed to thinking that the self in the mirror was the real me.
Until now, when I look at my reflection, I feel a little dazed.
It seems that the person sitting on the sofa talking at this time is not me.
The me reflected in the window is me. "
Fang Xiaoling scratched her head when she heard this. She didn't know whether she should talk about Wang Chenyu at this time.
"Mengli, actually I came to you because I have something to say. Wang Chenyu..."
"By the way!" Li Mengli interrupted her, "Why did I forget? Brother Chenyu is not as simple as a chef.
Mengling will not agree to my request, but maybe Brother Chenyu can do something? "
"What request?"
"To be honest, I feel like I'm superfluous here, and I didn't want to continue living." Li Mengli said lightly, "But my sister-in-law told me a lot, and I think it makes sense.
So I figured it out. "
"That's right!" The stone hanging in Fang Xiaoling's heart fell again, "How can you have that kind of idea? As long as you are alive, there is hope for the future?"
"So I want to live in a dream, the kind of dream that you never have to wake up from." Li Mengli turned to look at Fang Xiaoling, "Brother Chenyu can definitely do it, right?"
"This..." Fang Xiaoling was stunned for a long time. She looked at Li Mengli's serious expression and it was obvious that she was not joking.
But what is the difference between doing this and death?
"Why are you living in a dream? Although there is no Tian Hu in Saint Ful, there are still all of us here?" Fang Xiaoling comforted, "What's more, I just came back and I haven't been with you for long, so you are willing to do this Have you abandoned us?"
"I can stay in the coffee shop all the time, just in the form of falling asleep." Li Mengli seemed to have made up her mind, "Sister Xiaoling, I have been thinking about it for half the night. In Mengli's dream, maybe my destiny is You want me to live in a dream.
Everything that happened before seems to be paving the way for the current decision.
Mengling told me what happened to you before. One of your words impressed me deeply: You can’t cheat fate, right? "
"The premise of what I said is that your destiny is in your own hands."
"Yes! It's my decision now. I want to live in a dream and never wake up again." Li Mengli suddenly grabbed Xiaoling's hands, "Sister Xiaoling, the reason why I can be honest with you is I am talking about these things because you are not as strong and stubborn as Sister Luolan and have old-fashioned ideas.
Unlike my sister-in-law, who is always heartless and optimistic, she doesn’t understand me at all.
It's not like Mengling. Every time I haven't said a few words, she pretends to understand everything, says "This is normal for you, you will get better slowly" and leaves in a hurry...
I feel that when I talk to you, your eyes exude understanding and recognition.
So... you will definitely support me, right? "
"Uh... Well! After all, everyone's experience is different. We can't use our own past experience to ask for your decision." Fang Xiaoling thought in her heart: You have already said what you said, how can I have the nerve to refute you?
Forget it, my sister and Mengling will definitely not sit idly by.
Fang Xiaoling originally wanted to say that she had an exam in the morning, and when she was about to speak, Li Mengli took the lead and said, "Thank you, Sister Xiaoling.
Only if you are willing to take the trouble to chat with me.
Listen patiently to my depressing words. "
Just as Fang Xiaoling was about to stand up, she sat back down and said politely: "It's nothing, is this what I should do as a sister?
Mengli, actually I think - of course, I don’t mean to persuade you.
I just raised another possibility, that is, maybe you can try to change yourself?
For example, do something you like?
Fulfill your dream? "
"I once thought about getting admitted to a prestigious university to bring glory to my family." Li Mengli said frustrated, "But now, these things are meaningless..."
"I mean, you can think carefully about whether there is anything you want to do in this world." Fang Xiaoling rubbed her dry eyes and continued, "Just like me, in Saint-Freux. Studying at the Tower School can help me regain my identity as the Rainbow Queen and fight to the death with the Tower.
This is my goal.
You can also think about it, is there anything you want to accomplish in Saint-Freux? "
Li Mengli thought for a while, shook her head, and said softly: "Sister Xiaoling, don't be angry about what I said.
Meng Ling and I have different ideas.
In fact, until now, I don't resent the tower that much, whether it's death or everything before.
I think...it doesn't matter.
There is no need to hate, and there is no need to fight for anything.
If I were a leaf, it would be meaningless whether it fell back to its roots or drifted far away.
Anyway, sooner or later, everything will fade into nothingness. "
