Restricted fantasy invasion

Chapter 430, Dance 427

"Hey, did you find it?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Yi shoved the documents in his hand into his pocket and walked toward Yan Huan, who was holding sheet music in her mouth.

Yan Huan nodded, looking down at the sheet music she had been referring to as "He".

"Is this the cat picture?"

"It's this one."

Bai Yi took the sheet music from his hand and was about to leave, but when she turned her head and looked around Lemon's dressing room, a sinister smile appeared on her face.
"Well, now that things have been resolved, I should reciprocate, shouldn't I?"

What are you planning to do, meow?

"Hmph, we'll come back tonight. I'll go prepare some things."

"Meow~"

Seeing the excited smile on her face, Yan Huan did not disturb her interest, but simply let her do as she pleased.

"Click~"

Clutching the sheet music, Bai Yi was about to push open the door when she heard her own voice coming from outside again.
"Really? It's true, I really can't summon it anymore."

"."

Bai Yi immediately stopped what she was doing. Mentioning this, she then looked at Yan Huan and asked questioningly.
"By the way, Yan Ye, I'm using Wu Guan Xin now, but it seems like my past self can't summon the pocket watch anymore."

"Is there such a thing?"

"Yes, you heard that too, right?"

Yan Huan blinked, a slight chill running down her spine.

This property seems to have a sense of "uniqueness".
In other words, there is only one ring finger at any given time, and the host is simultaneously two Bai Yi.

Because the Bai Yi who traveled back in time is using it, the other Bai Yi cannot use it.

"Hmm, why don't you secretly follow your past self and try to break free from your indifference, meow?"

Yan Huan told Bai Yi her guess, and Bai Yi, who had just left the dressing room, nodded as she looked at her own back.

“Didi. Ta-da.”

After following her for a while, and once they were far away from Lemon's dressing room, Bai Yi pressed the pocket watch again, stopping the minute hand from turning.

"Ah, that's great, you're back!"

Sure enough, as soon as she stopped, she was able to immediately summon her pocket watch.

So conversely, if the past Bai Yi activated her ability by turning the pocket watch, the present Bai Yi would be unable to use her ability, right?

The conjecture was confirmed, but Yan Huan didn't take it to heart.

Well, it's not an important thing anyway.

Just be careful when you travel through time.
"mua!"

Looking at her lost and found self in the distance, she foolishly kissed the pocket watch, especially since the pocket watch's incarnation, Yan Ye, was still in front of her, which made Bai Yi blush for no reason.

"Cough cough."

She turned away somewhat embarrassedly and walked towards her office.

That's not me, that's not me.

"It's not you anymore, meow?"

"Hey, we're all alone now, can't you be a little silly once in a while?"

"You've never stopped acting silly, even when there are other people around."

"Woo!"

Feeling slandered, Bai Yi became a little agitated and glared angrily at Yan Huan.

"When have I ever done anything stupid? Hmm? Tell me?"

Yan Huan, with dead fish eyes, glanced at Bai Yi.
"When you were falsely accused of plagiarism before, you even went live with the blogger who got the sheet music to argue with him. Do you want to recall what you said?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Yi's face immediately turned red.

She suddenly remembered that night she wore a mask and pretended to be her fan when she connected with the blogger, which resulted in a lot of revelations.
What do you mean by "you only care about yourself"?
What about "what should you do with the two people in your family"?
Anyway, the video was later discovered by netizens, who not only found that the girl pretending to be a fan was Bai Yi herself, but also made a parody video of her crying voice.

Yes, it's not AI, it's pure ancient-style parody.

Thinking about it carefully, if Bai Yi hadn't disappeared, she would probably be immortal on the internet by now.

"Ugh, forget it, forget it, forget it!!"

"Uh uh uh"

Bai Yi blushed and grabbed Yan Huan's cat head, shaking it back and forth as if trying to completely erase the memories from Yan Huan's head.

However, as she was being rocked, Yan Huan looked at Bai Yi, whose cheeks were puffed out in an incredibly cute way.
After a moment of silence, he uttered what he truly wanted to ask.

"That day you said you were originally planning to release another sweet song after Yan Huan invited you to dance, meow?"

"Ok?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Yi blinked and nodded.
"Yeah, the music was all written, and I even choreographed a dance specifically for this song, or rather, for the High Table Banquet, but ugh! That stinky Yan Huan!"

"."

Yan Huan lowered her eyes, patted Bai Yi's face with her soft paw, and said casually,

"You still remember that sheet music, meow?"

"Hmph, I don't remember. I lost my memory after Yan Huan didn't invite me to the high table banquet."

Clearly, Bai Yi was just saying that out of anger.

"Meow?!"

"But you've been by my side the whole time, so you should have heard me writing that, right?"

"I woke up around the time of the High Table dinner, meow. I don't remember anything before that."

"so."

Yan Huan glanced at Bai Yi's profile, having originally wanted to hear another song she had prepared for the high table banquet.
But since she doesn't want to sing, then so be it.

"crunch~"

Not long after, she quietly went to her dressing room and skillfully took out a spare phone from the drawer.

After checking the battery level, she turned on her phone and logged into her alternate account on Plane.

As mentioned before, she had a secondary account called "plane" which she used to spy on Yan Huan's activities.

Now, since I've been logging into my main account (Baiyi) all along, it's perfect for logging into my secondary account.

There's some money in this account, and besides, having a cell phone will make things more convenient; I won't have to steal food from Yan Huan anymore.

"Huh huh huh~"

She glanced familiarly at her WeChat Moments, and after finding no updates from Yan Huan, she pouted again and walked to the elevator.

She sat down on the side of the waiting room at Golden Lion Entertainment, her eyes fixed on the elevator entrance, waiting for Lemon to return at any moment.

"When she comes back later, Yanye, you secretly check her phone password, and take her phone back so we can get her a big one."

"Good meow."

Yan Huan yawned and nodded.

"Ding ~"

But not long after, the elevator doors opened.

Instead of meeting their target for revenge, they encountered two familiar faces.

"Meow?"

Yan Huan's yawning motion immediately froze, her eyes filled with An Le and Miyake Hu Hu emerging from the elevator.

"Anle?"

Bai Yi tightened his mask and muttered to himself.

"Oh right, she seems to have been working at the Golden Lion Group during the summer vacation too."

Yes, as mentioned before, Anle's studio is also located in Golden Lion Entertainment, on the same floor as Baiyi.

"."

Yan Huan activated the blur effect and watched An Le and Miyake Hu Hu walk past her.

Looking at Anle, whose demeanor was calm, gentle, and lovely.
Suddenly, he also felt a bit like euthanasia.

"We just finished eating, why don't you rush to work? The manuscript is almost finished, isn't it?"

Perhaps sensing his longing, Miyake Huhu turned to Anle with a slight smile and said this.

"Ah good"

Coincidentally, they didn't notice Bai Yi either, and went to sit on the other side of the sparsely populated waiting room.

They picked up a cup of free coffee from the break room and started chatting.

Both Bai Yi and Yan Huan have good hearing. Yan Huan's hearing is good because she received a related award before, while Bai Yi's hearing is naturally good.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have been the first to hear her own mutterings outside the door from behind the wall.

Therefore, even though they were far apart, their conversation could be heard clearly, while others could hardly hear it at all.

"What's wrong, Anle? You've been looking so gloomy lately."

"Huh? No, no."

Miyake Hu Hu looked at An Le in front of her and asked softly,

"Is it because of the high table dinner incident?"

High Table Dinner?

Originally, Bai Yi didn't pay much attention to that side. Not to mention that her relationship with An Le was just so-so to begin with, now that she had traveled back to the past, there was absolutely no need to cause any unnecessary trouble.

But as soon as she heard about the "high table dinner," she immediately became interested.

She stopped looking at the elevator entrance and instead secretly glanced in that direction.

"A high table. A dinner party?"

"Yes! I've heard about it. That banquet held a very special meaning for you Totsuki students, right?"

"Yes, that's true."

"So, Yan Huan's dance partner should be you, right?"

Ha, it should be the beginning!

Upon hearing Miyake Hu Hu's words, Bai Yi smiled disdainfully behind her mask.

To be honest, she would accept losing to Sakura Miyako.

After all, even Bai Yi had to admit that Sakura Miyako was indeed...
Well.
Well, it's a bit like Yan Huan's...
Of course, this doesn't mean I'm admitting defeat!
That's just an objective statement!

From historical, environmental, family background, and personality perspectives, he and Yan Huan are somewhat compatible.
It's just enough to barely keep up with myself!
Therefore, although losing to Sakura Miyabi was painful, Bai Yi didn't completely break down.

She completely broke down afterward when she went to find Yan Huan, but he didn't try to stop her at all. Bai Yi felt like a clown, which made her completely lose her temper.

As for the others?
Ah.
Ariya, Anle, Ye Shiyu
A fool, a mouse, and a female ghost.
Oh, and that old woman too.

Which winner will be more convincing to the public?!
So at this moment, when Miyake Hu said that Anle should have won, Bai Yi completely disregarded it.

"Um, Mr. Miyake, actually..."

"Before the high table dinner, Yan Huan was clearly already showing signs of confessing her feelings to you, wasn't she?"

"!!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Yi was slightly taken aback and looked at Miyake Hu Hu.

"Look, you're beautiful, have a great figure, and are talented. Plus, you have that kind of relationship with Yan Huan. He must have given you the illusion that you're the one chosen for many high-end banquets."

"!!"

hiss.
Upon hearing this, Bai Yi stroked her cheek and couldn't help but frown slightly.

how do you feel
Are you talking about me?
It's very immersive!

"."

Looking at Bai Yi's fascinating changes in expression, which were barely concealed by his mask, Yan Huan remained silent.

He could only replace her, who was completely absorbed in the moment, to monitor the elevator entrance.

"Anle, you've been looking worried lately, it must be related to this, right?"

"Um, well... Miyake-sensei, actually not."

To everyone's surprise, Anle pursed her lips and shook her head.

"To be honest, I don't really care about high-table banquets or anything like that."

"Hey?"

Not only was Miyake Huhu stunned, but Bai Yi was also stunned.

Could it be that she knew she had no chance of winning, so she simply laid down her cards?
Wait!

What kind of expression is that?!

"."

Bai Yi initially thought An Le had completely given up, but when she turned around, she saw An Le smiling calmly.
It was as if the high-table dinner dance partner that Bai Yi valued so highly and considered so important was nothing special.

What is this
What state?
But why?!

"Why not? Isn't a high table dinner supposed to be important? After all, it's a public event."

"Well, precisely because it's public, there are many factors to consider."

Anle smiled slightly and explained,
"Family factors, the impact of being in the public eye."
"If on that day, an outer college student and an inner college student were to dance together in front of a large number of parents, perhaps something even worse would happen?"
"Conversely, if two people have a good relationship, they don't need to dance together to prove their feelings for each other."
"Because, many other things have already proven it." As she finished speaking, her face flushed slightly, and she became a little shy.

"But even so, it would have been better if he hadn't jumped at all. Why did he have to choose Sakuramiya Hitomi?"

"Well, there must be some uncontrollable factors, right?"

Anle seemed to have a deeper meaning in saying this.

"You're such a love-struck fool."

Miyake Hu Hu couldn't understand, but a flash of lightning seemed to pass through Bai Yi's little head.

and many more!

Yan Ye had previously stated that Yan Huan had known about the game editor from the very beginning?!

That is
He must have known about Sakura Miyako's cheat program going berserk at the high table dinner!
Yes, in that situation, Hitomi Sakuramiya was fighting four opponents at once, and she was about to become a god.

What would happen if Yan Huan refused her invitation to dance is still unknown.
Therefore, whether it was the club war, Sakura Country, or the high table banquet, everything he did was probably just a choice he had to make to solve the problem of the cheat engine!

Conversely, Yan Huan's feelings for him were a true affection hidden beneath a facade of compromise!
Why would Bai Yi think that way?
The reason is very simple!

You see, the other hosts are all difficult to deal with, like ticking time bombs, so compromising and putting on an act is fine, right?
But I'm not one of them!

I'm such a coward, I rarely use cheat codes. Even if I get bullied, I just run home and curse the bully in bed at night!
Therefore, Yan Huan had absolutely no need to deceive herself.

This proves by contradiction that his feelings for her were entirely genuine!
Furthermore, there are examples:

When he was about to be hit and killed by a car, he actually risked his life to save himself.
This is absolutely flawless.
"woo"

Thinking of this, Bai Yi's face flushed slightly.

The lingering unease she felt about the high table dinner vanished, and she even hummed a song with delight.

"Hmph~"

"?"

Yan Huan turned to look at Bai Yi, but could only see her humming a song with her head down.

"Anle, what exactly is it that's been bothering you lately?"

"Well, actually it's because..."

Anle's face flushed slightly, and she leaned closer to whisper a few words.

The sound was too soft for Bai Yi to hear.

All that could be vaguely seen was Miyake Hu Hu's eyes widening little by little.

Immediately, she gasped and asked in a low voice,

"At this frequency, won't Yan Huan get into trouble? Actually, I think taking a break for a while is a good thing?"

"Mr. Miyake!"

"?"

Bai Yi blinked and looked over there.

Just as he was about to wonder what the "frequency" was, Yan Huan in front of him stood up and reminded him,
"Coming, meow."

"what"

Bai Yi's attention was diverted, and she looked over there.

Sure enough, Lemon is back.

She silently got up and followed him.

Yan Huan also activated her ethereal transformation and entered the office.

"Action, begin!"

Not long after, at the top of a building opposite the Golden Lion Group.

"Ah, sir, no!"

Bai Yi, her face flushed, held her phone, watching the explosive content inside under the watchful eye of the night breeze.

Her breathing became slightly rapid, and her eyes started to blur.

This phone belonged to Lemon, whom Yan Huan had just stolen. It contained not only her flirtatious messages with that Japanese man, but also many other things.
Hmm, video evidence?

Most of them were sent by the other party; I didn't save the lemons.

It seems the other person has a rather wicked sense of humor.

"Have you finished watching, meow?"

"Who put this video on my phone?!"

Suddenly, Yan Ye's voice rang out from the side, startling Bai Yi so much that she almost dropped her phone.

"This really isn't your phone."

"Phew, wait a minute, I'll post all this dirty stuff online! Let her dare mess with me!"

"."

Yan Huan yawned, facing the night breeze, and wagged its tail.

Bai Yi jumped down from the edge and stretched.

Looking at the night view outside, she blinked, looked at her hands, and suddenly asked,

"Hey, Yan Ye, do you think it would look ridiculous if I invited Yan Huan to dance privately after everything was done? The high table banquet is already over."

"."

Yan Huan turned to look at her, and seeing her slightly flushed face, she felt a little tempted.

He knew that Bai Yi had some misunderstandings because of what An Le had said before.

So he opened his mouth, feeling somewhat reluctant.

He had no choice but to speak.

"Is it possible that he's not what you think at all? Maybe he just didn't take your invitation seriously?"

As he said this, a hint of apology appeared in the depths of his eyes.

"Huh?! How is that possible!"

Bai Yi pouted, turned to look at Yan Ye behind her, and pointed at her.

"Hey, I've noticed! Yan Ye, do you have some kind of prejudice against Yan Huan? You're always talking badly about him!"

"I don't have a cat."

"You have it!"

Bai Yi rested her chin on her hand and poked Yan Huan's head. It was more like a gentle rub.
"Could it be that Yan Huan doesn't like me?"

"He likes you, meow."

"Hmph, that's pretty much it."

Although Bai Yi felt he had received a satisfactory answer, he thought that this sincere statement might just be Yan Ye's compromise.

But she didn't care; as long as she was happy.
"I've made up my mind. After I save Yan Huan, on the day he confesses his feelings to me, I will repay him. I want to... I want to invite him to dance again, even if it's just the two of us, and no one else witnesses it!"

"."

Upon hearing this, Yan Huan looked at her.

With her hands on her hips and a smile on her face, the sparkle in her eyes unconsciously tinged Yan Huan's eyes as well.

His tail began to wag involuntarily.

"Good meow."

"Perfect timing, I'll sing him the song I prepared earlier too~"

Yan Huan blinked, patted her calf with her paw, and asked,

"Now, how about you rehearse first, meow? Sing for me first?"

Well, since you're so eager to hear it...

Bai Yi looked at the adorable white cat beneath her, nodded, and smiled.

The next second, she squatted down and raised the swallow leaf high.

Yan Huan hung limply, staring straight ahead, her golden eyes filled with her reflection.

"Cough cough."

He watched her cough lightly, and then slowly began to spin in place.
It's like the dance steps that should have been performed at a high table ball.

At the same time, she slightly turned her head and began to sing softly.

I used to be afraid the wind would chill my heart.

Until you walked through the crowd and gazed at me.

In every choice, I am put first.

This unwavering resolve shines brighter than starlight.

Her swirling dance steps were slow, but her appearance remained unchanged.

All around, the dazzling city lights and the starry sky were dynamically connected.

Yan Huan simply looked at her, her golden eyes sparkling with a thoughtful gaze that others couldn't decipher.

He just suddenly had a pessimistic thought about a possibility:
如果
He was saying, what if, in the end, they still couldn't change the fact that she disappeared?
Because everything he encountered along the way was telling him this.

At the same time, he also thought of another way that might actually represent a solution, but it would come at a price.

All methods that require weighing pros and cons must be weighed on the scales of one's heart.

But at this moment, looking at Bai Yi, he suddenly didn't want to do it anymore.

"How is it? Does it sound good? Hmm, although I think it still has a few minor flaws. I'll reconsider it when I get back."

Not long after, Bai Yi stopped, panting.

Yan Huan continued to stare at her, and after a long while, he shook his head and said...
"It sounds nice. Yan Huan, I'm sure you'll love it, meow."

"Really?"

"real."

As Yan Huan spoke so softly, the golden world line deep within his eyes suddenly stirred.

“Didi. Ta-da.”

At this moment, in the future, on July 1st, Yan Huan's 19th birthday, at 4:44 PM.

"Xiao Huan?"

Ye Shiyu's eyes widened as she watched Yan Huan disappear right before her eyes.

She quickly stood up and looked around in astonishment at the empty space.

"Xiao Xiao Huan?!"

She was startled and didn't even have time to cover up that she had come up to steal food. She wanted to run downstairs as fast as she could and tell others what had happened.

“Didi. Ta-da.”

At this moment, the clock on the wall slowly reached 4:45.

"Sakuramiya Hitomi!"

Once downstairs, the first person Ye Shiyu instinctively called out to was Sakura Miyabi Hitomi.

But as soon as she opened her mouth, she froze.

Because at this moment, the once lively birthday banquet below has become strange.

Below, there was no more cake, no more lively atmosphere.
Yes, there was one, but it was Yan Huan's mother, Wang Yulu, who was covering her face and crying.

And, in front of the birthday cake, a black and white portrait of Yan Huan.

"."

The hosts all looked bewildered, staring blankly at the black and white portrait.

Clearly, they realized that their memories had been altered.

"How. How could this happen?"

Ye Shiyu stared blankly at Yan Huan's portrait, feeling incredibly excited, yet also sensing that something was missing.

My phone isn't responding at all?

Ye Shiyu raised her phone and looked down at it.

However, they discovered that the hypnosis app inside had disappeared sometime during the day.

Looking at their own hands again, both Hitomi Sakura and Anaku were equally shocked.

They also realized that their mods were gone.

Instead, a strange memory emerged.

A few days ago, Xiao Huan suddenly invited them to give up the cheat engine together, and they agreed.

Who knew that as soon as they gave up on the mod, Xiao Huan disappeared.

Then, the next day
Then they learned of Xiao Huan's death.

"!!"

Realizing what had happened, Ye Shiyu turned pale and quickly looked at the others, asking a question.
"Where is Bai Baiyi? Where is she?!"

She uttered a name that should have disappeared without a trace.
