In terms of combat, she had countless ways to subdue, strangle, severely injure, or even dismember the person in her arms in an instant, but those cold skills were completely ineffective at this moment.
The warmth of the embrace, which she had never truly experienced before, left Liuying at a loss.
"I have a solution for entropy loss."
Upon hearing this, Liu Ying blinked. Her mind had already short-circuited, and her information processing ability had declined. It took her a few seconds to react.
She suddenly raised her head, her eyes widening and then narrowing.
"Qiong... what did you just say?"
The girl's voice trembled slightly, almost imperceptibly. She pressed on Qiong's shoulders without pushing him away, unwilling to let go of this warmth. She simply leaned back, allowing herself to see those golden eyes that shone brighter than pearls.
"I told you, be happier from now on,"
Qiong gazed at her, his smile full of certainty.
"I have a way to solve entropy loss."
She is a genius in the field of life sciences!
Are there any diseases in the world that Ruan Mei cannot cure?
Perhaps, but it wouldn't be entropy loss syndrome.
Even if we take a step back and consider the worst-case scenario, entropy loss syndrome is truly an absurd incurable disease, which even troubles Ruan Mei.
And there's also a luxurious support team composed of top experts such as Ruan Xingmei, Ruan Qiongmei, Ruan hope, Bu Nimei, and Qi Mei.
"……Really!?"
If it came from someone else, Liu Ying would never believe that the former Sky Front had been destroyed, and that the person who knew this secret and could cure it no longer existed.
But right now, it's Qiong who's saying these words!
It was Qiong, to whom she was willing to place 100% of her trust.
Looking at the boy's confident expression, the firefly, who had just been experiencing a sense of reality in her dream, was instantly overwhelmed by the enormous, almost illusory feeling of the dream.
Her entropy disorder...can it really...be cured?
"Really, I promise."
Qiong clearly captured the look of bewilderment and disbelief on her pretty face, which was so close to his. He tightened his arms around her and hugged her even more tightly.
Liu Ying was enveloped in warmth, and leaned against Qiong's chest in a daze. She remained there for a long time, and then a look of self-reproach appeared on her face.
"sorry."
Why should I say sorry?
"Because... I lied to you. I am indeed an illegal immigrant."
"Oh, I know about that."
"...Aren't you worried that I might have ulterior motives towards you?"
No.
"why?"
"It's just a gut feeling, I know you would never hurt me."
"..."
Liu Ying fell silent again, her heart surging with unprecedented waves of emotion.
In male-oriented romance comics, if the "childhood sweetheart" attribute is a special attack on the male protagonist, then what is the special attack on the "childhood sweetheart girl"?
The answer is obvious: he is the fool who has forgotten the past but still retains absolute trust in his childhood sweetheart deep in his soul!
The firefly had an urge to reveal everything.
Unfortunately, the script Elio gave her was only two lines long each time, and it only contained her own content.
Eriol: Heh, Sam, I've been on guard against you for a while.
See, family members? That's why I only gave her two lines of the script.
Just because you went on a date, you confessed everything!
Who can resist this!
Kokona looked at the two enveloped in a pink atmosphere, her eyes filled with envy and blessings. Once upon a time, she too had love, but…
As for why the two are a couple, Ke Qiong only just told Liu Ying that he could cure entropy disorder—such illogical 'minor details'—she had long since forgotten about them.
Is there any point in thinking about this?
"Congratulations, Miss Liuying! I wish you a long and happy marriage."
"Thank you... cough, we, we're actually not..."
After subconsciously agreeing, Liu Ying belatedly realized what was happening and, despite her reluctance, left Qiong's embrace.
Miss Cocona is still watching.
It would be extremely inappropriate for Sora to hug and confide in front of Ms. Kokona, who is contemplating suicide.
“Let’s have a heart-to-heart talk, Miss Kokona. Life always hits rock bottom and bounces back, just like me. Miracles do happen, and they might just happen in the next moment.”
Firefly tried to inspire Kokona by using herself as an example.
"Miss Liuying, not all difficulties can be resolved through close communication between friends."
Kokona smiled wryly: "As for miracles, I've long since given up on things that are less likely than winning the lottery."
Dream Colors, the biggest lottery in Pinocchio's dream world.
"Miss Kokona..."
Liu Ying wanted to say something more.
"You don't need to try to persuade me anymore."
"If you're not even afraid of death, why not try again?"
"It's meaningless."
Do you think it's better for me to stay in this world, which is now only scarred and continue to suffer?
That's not what I meant...
Liu Ying shook her head violently, but she really didn't know what to say to comfort her.
“Many kind people like Miss Firefly have tried to help me in the past, but they didn’t understand that it wasn’t helping me… it wasn’t…”
Kokona's face was ashen.
Liu Ying looked at Qiong, hoping that Qiong would also say something to persuade her.
“Kokona is right.”
To everyone's surprise, Qiong said something that made Liuying's eyes widen in astonishment.
Even Kokona looked up at Qiong, not expecting him to say such a thing.
“Firefly, what you just said is not right. The premise of ‘If you are not afraid of death, why not…’ is that you put death first among the cruelest and most unbearable things.”
"But for Miss Kokona, death is secondary to some things."
Qiong's Fool's Mask allows for endless transformations on a mental level. The reason he gained this ability might be that he can regulate his own thinking and understand many mindsets and emotions that ordinary people cannot comprehend.
"This……"
The firefly understood the meaning of these words, so it remained silent.
"Mr. Qiong..."
Kokona's gaze towards Sora changed.
"I never expected to meet someone who understands me in the last period of my life. Thank you, Mr. Qiong."
"Since you understand, then please don't stop me anymore. End all this misfortune... I don't want to struggle anymore."
Upon hearing this, Firefly looked anxious. Miss Cocona still wanted to commit suicide!
How can I stop her?
"It's no use. Even if we stop her, it won't help. What Kokona is fighting is not a person, an illness, or a nightmare... but something that can't be seen or touched."
Qiong played with the mask in her hand.
Depression, even if it is temporarily relieved or even improved with medication, cannot be cured as long as the patient remains in the same environment.
And, just as some childhood traumas require a lifetime to heal, certain things have already happened, and even euphoria cannot change the established facts.
Upon hearing this, Kokona glanced at Qiong, her eyes filled with sadness, loneliness, and most of all... gratitude.
Thank you for your understanding, Qiong!
"But are we just going to do nothing and watch Miss Kokona perish?"
Liu Ying felt that Qiong was not the kind of person who would do such a thing.
Qiong smiled and said, "Since Miss Kokona insists on leaving, how about I see you off?"
"Giving roses to others leaves a lingering fragrance on your hands; throwing away roses also leaves a lingering fragrance on your hands."
"What!?"
Liu Ying exclaimed in surprise; she couldn't understand it.
A fleeting look of surprise crossed Kokona's eyes, but it vanished in an instant. "If you don't mind getting involved in this misfortune."
She doesn't care about anything now.
Qiong and Liuying followed Kokona back to the balcony where she jumped.
Along the way, Liu Ying gently gripped Qiong's hand, wanting to say something, but seeing Qiong's smiling expression, she swallowed her words.
She believes in Qiong!
"Thank you, Mr. Qiong, thank you for respecting my wishes."
Kokona stood on the edge of the balcony, a slight smile playing on her lips:
"This is the happiest day of my life."
She didn't jump because she had promised Qiong to see her off one last time.
After two seconds, the hand was placed on her back; with just a gentle push, she would be free.
But that force never came.
"Take one last look at this before you leave."
Qiong's voice came from behind her. Kokona turned around and her eyes widened slightly. What came into view was a rose.
A rose floats in the sky, slowly rotating. This rose is different from others; its petals seem to be composed of feathers that gradually change from crimson to red.
"This is the rose of the future."
Qiong presented the red rose to Kokona.
The next moment, Kokona fainted.
"Qiong?"
The firefly tilted its head curiously.
But then Qiong put his index finger to his lips and made a shushing gesture.
The fireflies quieted down and waited.
Half a system time has passed.
The woman with short black hair slowly woke up, touching her forehead as she opened her eyes wide, her bewilderment clearly forming the three fundamental questions of life.
who am I?
where am I?
what am i doing?
