Chapter 36: Inexplicable Tears
"Brother Bai, are you going to eat?"
I felt hungry, but I didn't have much appetite. It's a strange phenomenon, usually when you're hungry, you have something in your head that you want to eat, but I don't want to eat anything now.
"Bai Xin, I don't really want to eat right now."
"I don't want to eat...... Bai Xin dragged his chin and thought for a while, "By the way, I'll show you a work of art, right?" β
"A work of art?"
"yes, over there." She led me to the door, like a cuboid box covered with a red cloth.
"I've noticed this thing before, what is it?"
"Master, I'll go and heat up the food again." After speaking, Ye Xin turned around and left here.
"Look!" Bai Xin tore off the red cloth, and in the glass container, a beautiful woman was sealed.
I unconsciously looked a little dazed, without any makeup, just suffocating beauty without makeup. The liquid in the container was like jelly, a slight shade of blue, and some bubbles were just right, and it looked like a beautiful woman who had fallen into the deep sea.
"Pretty, isn't it? I've worked a lot, the name of this artwork is ......" Bai Xin reached out and stroked the outer wall of the glass, and said word by word, "Seventh Princess." β
"Seventh Princess......" I stared blankly, "is this a wax figure?" β
"Almost, I'm going to put it right here for people to enjoy." The corners of Bai Xin's mouth unconsciously rose slightly, "In this world that is difficult to survive, everyone is too difficult, I hope they will feel pleasing to the eye after seeing the beauty of the Seventh Princess." β
"It's right here at the door, will people steal it?"
"You have a point." Bai Xin raised his eyebrows and looked at me, "Why don't you put it in Brother Bai's room?" β
"What are you talking about, I'm ...... Bai Xin!! I suddenly shouted.
"What are you doing? Surprised! Bai Xin clutched his chest.
She ...... She ......," I said, pointing to the wax figure in the container, and said in horror, "she just blinked. β
"Huh?" Bai Xin looked at it and said with a smile, "This is normal, I designed it this way in the first place, which can improve the sense of realism." β
Before Bai Xin's words fell, I noticed that the wax figure's eyes were flowing with a crystal clear liquid, which did not blend with the jelly-like light blue around her.
"It's tears...... She was in tears......"
"Yes, the theme of this work is love, and the story probably says: The seventh princess fell into the deep sea for the sake of her beloved."
"Really?" I looked at the woman in the container in disbelief.
"You're thinking again!" Bai Xin slammed into my chest, "Could it be that I'm going to stuff a real person into this container?" Am I that cruel?! β
"Also...... Yes, it's too real. I took a deep breath and looked away from the wax figure's face, "Bai Xin, I seem to be able to eat something." β
"It seems that the beauty still works." Bai Xin rolled his eyes, "Let's go, let's go eat." β
"Hmm." I followed Bai Xin, only to feel a little cold on my face, and only after wiping it with my hand did I react, it was tears. If you blink now, you can still shed some water.
I couldn't feel any emotion, and I couldn't find a reason to shed tears.
"It's weird...... Bai Xin, you wait for me. I turned and walked back to the container.
The woman blinked again.
This time I found out, and after she cried, I also shed tears.
Why??
"What are you doing!" Bai Xin came over and pulled me, "Can't get enough of it?" β
"No, Bai Xin, look at me......" I turned my face to her, "as long as she weeps, I will cry with her." β
"You've got sand in your eyes!" She picked up the red cloth on the ground and closed the container, "Go eat!" You're not hungry, I'm hungry! Let's go?! β
Originally, Bai Xin was wearing Mengmo's makeup, and when she shouted like this, I suddenly felt a little in a trance, "Mengmo, I feel very strange, that woman seems to be familiar." β
"Didn't you see the queen of the Seven Chambers when you were in the game world? The image of the Seven Princesses was modified according to that mold. β
"Oh yes, at that time, the queen of the Seven Branches Hall wanted to persuade me to surrender, and she also made some conditions." I suddenly felt that there was a gap in my memory, "What conditions are ......?"
"It's nothing more than those high-ranking officials, I've heard you talk about it before." She pulled me in the direction of the restaurant, "Do you know how precious food is in this world?" Don't be in the midst of blessings and don't know the blessings, come and eat. β
I thought that the restaurant in the Divine Domain must be more luxurious than the old restaurant in the castle, but when I pushed the door in, I found that the indoor space was not very large, only a round table. When Ye Xin saw us coming in, he turned into a black cat and lay in the cat kennel in the corner.
I sat down at the table and looked at the food on the table, and I always felt that something was not quite right.
"Try my craft." She took a piece of fish and put it on top of the rice in my bowl.
"Your craft? When did you do it? β
"Huh?" Her eyes subconsciously avoided my gaze, "I was ready before you woke up, but it just warmed up a little later." β
"You seem to have something to hide from me."
"Nope." She suddenly smiled.
"What are you laughing at?" I felt that she was a little inexplicable, but I still subconsciously helped her pick out the coriander in the fish plate, "I said that you don't need to put fragrant fish in the future...... Dish ......"
I reacted, looked at my hand holding the chopsticks, and slowly looked at her face.
She looked down and ate the potato wedges in her bowl and didn't look up at me.
I was silent for a long time, unable to swallow.
It's a feeling of an old husband and wife, and even each other's preferences are clear. But I just can't admit that she's Bai Xin, the little guy who loves to listen to stories. Not to mention...... What's more...... The image of the Seventh Princess suddenly appeared in her head, wearing a gauze dress of the same color as the ocean, staying quietly in the container, and tears flowed in the blink of her eyes.
Let's go.
Tears dripped on the table, and my eyes widened in surprise as I stared blankly at the growing amount of liquid on the table.
"Brother Bai, do you remember ......" Mengmo was halfway through his words, but found that I had run out of the restaurant.
She slowly released her clenched fist, and two diamond rings fell on the table, one wide and one narrow.
"Do you remember those two rings?" She continued, "When we were in the game world, we went to the marriage tree to ask for it according to the normal procedure. Have you forgotten...... Say yes...... When I destroy the game world, I'll be your real fiancΓ©e...... You understand what you mean......"
She looked at the empty seat opposite and muttered to herself, "Brother Bai, originally I just wanted to help, I really never wanted to possess you." But life in the game world is too real, and even if I recover a lot of memories, I still feel that you are with her, like betraying me...... What should I do, brother...... What should Bai Xin do...... I've done irreparable wrongs, and I'm sure I'll never be forgiven again......"
"Now that you know you've done something wrong, try to get everything back." Ye Xin, who was transformed into a humanoid at the age of three, "Master, everyone will make mistakes, this is inevitable." β
