A little girl at a magic school, she's a goofy troublemaker who can do anything.

The more critical the moment, the more important it is to keep a clear head.

Li Wenyin closed her eyes briefly, loosening her clenched fist slightly as she pondered the various suspicious points of the whole affair. She then asked, "How did you describe the black magic artifact to Si Zeyi?"

"It's a magical artifact that can predict the future, but it's extremely dangerous and will cause great damage to the body," Xing Rui replied. "The specific dangers are based on the information I'm currently trading with you."

Li Wenyin: "He didn't ask why it was dangerous?"

"No," Xing Rui thought for a moment and said, "I guess they're determined to predict the future and see knowing the dangers as a burden."

It's a bit like burying your head in the sand.

However, it makes sense. By analogy, someone who is single-mindedly focused on smoking and drinking might resist knowing the harm caused by smoking and drinking because their desire is stronger than their fear of the unknown dangers.

After all, it's a magical artifact that can predict the future... For some people, half a life is a negligible price to pay in the face of predicting the future, which is why people still rush to use the Black Magical Artifact despite its danger.

The ability to devour memories and roam within the body is perhaps an extremely insignificant price to many people... If it were a seller who could copy and save memories without fear of them being devoured, it would be an absolute godsend.

However, Li Wenyin happened to know that this demonic artifact would do far more harm than good to Si Zeyi.

Is it just right...?

-

Upon closer reflection, it's more like a large-scale butterfly flapping its wings than just "perfectly".

If we examine the timeline of the novel's plot, Xing Rui had already perished in the Demon Beast Forest by this point in time, yet Si Zeyi still obtained the Black Demon Artifact. This suggests that the Black Demon Artifact was something he was destined to encounter through "fortune."

In terms of "chance," the Black Artifact, which can foresee the future but absorbs memories, is more beneficial than harmful. Therefore, Si Zeyi is destined to obtain the Black Artifact.

Tragically, the seemingly insignificant "flaw" in judging Si Zeyi's talent was the real reason that pushed him into the abyss.

then.

Xing Rui kept insisting that only she had specific information about the Black Magic Artifact. Although Li Wenyin had many concerns about Xing Rui, she believed her.

It is indeed true that only Xing Rui knows this information right now, and it is precisely only Xing Rui who knows this information.

In the novel, Xing Rui dies in the Monster Forest—the specific information about the Black Artifact completely disappears—Si Zeyi buys the Black Artifact under the guise of self-deception—Si Zeyi gradually goes insane with no one believing him and his memory lost—the student council notices and imprisons Si Zeyi—the main characters misunderstand and hate the student council.

Now, Xing Rui has been unexpectedly rescued by Li Wenyin and others—the specific information about the Black Artifact has been preserved—Si Zeyi is acting strangely, and Li Wenyin is investigating—the truth about the Black Artifact is discovered—following the clues, the mastermind is deduced—there is still a chance for things to turn around.

Linked together, like the fluttering wings of a butterfly.

And from beginning to end, that "turning point"...

It turned out to be Li Wenyin's own unintentional act of flapping her wings back then.

In the darkness, the influence has spread like ripples, far-reaching and profound.

That was close, but thankfully it was.

Li Wenyin appeared.

-

Two days later.

"I've discovered it. Your 'opportunity' isn't some random magical artifact at all; your greatest 'opportunity' right now is me."

"what?"

Faced with Li Wenyin's sudden, earth-shattering, and narcissistic statement, Si Zeyi was completely bewildered, blinking and looking at Li Wenyin in confusion.

Li Wenyin glanced at him, then waved her hand mysteriously and wearily: "No need to thank me too much."

If it were anyone else, they would have rolled their eyes and thought, "What a weirdo."

But this was Si Zeyi, who was even more eccentric than Li Wenyin and desperately wanted to gain her trust, so he nodded hastily, "Okay, okay, Miss Jiyuan."

Li Wenyin glanced at him again.

In the novel, Si Zeyi is portrayed as a gentle, kind older brother figure, which is why his plight infuriates the protagonists.

Looking back now, it's pretty much the same. Pure and innocent, but a little too naive and unguarded, a bit silly.

They are on their way to the dance, the highly anticipated school dance, which is being held tonight. The streets along the way are decorated with appropriate ornaments, making it a dreamy and beautiful place.

Even roads that one has walked hundreds or thousands of times before seem like a star-studded avenue at this moment, as if some wonderful magic has been cast, making one feel as if walking on the Milky Way.

As dusk deepened and night fell, the cool night breeze ruffled my hair.

Li Wenyin walked ahead, looking thoughtful, her gaze fixed on something, lost in thought.

Si Zeyi, walking beside her, had a slightly unfocused gaze. He glanced at Li Wenyin's expression out of the corner of his eye, and after some deliberation, asked, "So, Miss Jiyuan, do you believe me now?"

"I believe." But his ideals are about to be shattered.

"...That's great." Having received her approval, Si Zeyi relaxed and brightened up considerably.

"Hmm?" Li Wenyin looked at him.

Si Zeyi said softly, "I've said it before, and now, only if you're willing to listen and believe me."

"My friends, classmates, and even family members are all saying things I don't understand and mentioning people I don't know. We all think the other is ridiculous."

"Only you are willing to listen to me; you may truly be my greatest opportunity."

"Hmm... While I also think you're lucky to have met me," Li Wenyin accepted the compliment without any modesty, then waved her hand and shook her head, "but other things are not right. Perhaps you should try to trust the people around you."

Si Zeyi: "What?"

"Well, you're actually sick."

As she spoke, Li Wenyin walked to the side of the road, balancing her weight on the grassy shoulder, and walked step by step on the long curb. Her heels made a crisp sound as she walked, her movements surprisingly agile.

"And you yourself have forgotten that you are sick. Your illness is quietly getting worse and worse. The people around you are not wrong. They just don't know that you are sick. Otherwise, they would definitely do everything they can to help you."

Si Zeyi slowed his pace, following her rhythm, and gently retorted, "Are you trying to say I have amnesia again? I don't."

"People who are drunk often don't admit that they are drunk."

Li Wenyin's words were pointed.

But I really didn't.

Si Zeyi retorted softly again, his good temper showing no anger, but rather a hint of frustration.

"Don't I remember you perfectly? I haven't forgotten a single word you said?"

this......

Li Wenyin stepped off course and accidentally stepped into the grass.

She really didn't know that. Maybe the memory absorption was random, and it just so happened that the memories about her weren't absorbed? Or maybe they were absorbed according to importance, and it just wasn't her turn, little Karami?

-

Li Wenyin stepped off the curb and asked, "Why are you so obsessed with knowing the future?"

Mentioning this, Si Zeyi reminded her again, "You really need to be careful of that girl with long curly hair..."

"Okay, okay," Li Wenyin said, almost tired of hearing it, and quickly asked, "Besides that, you always seem to be looking at other people's futures. Why?"

"I want to remind you to avoid this bad future, and also to help everyone around me avoid a bad future."

Si Zeyi relaxed a little, his eyes filled with tenderness and unwavering ideals, and said this.

"Even if they don't understand me, I don't want any of you to get hurt. If my reminder can help you avoid it a little bit, I'll be very happy. I know this magical artifact will harm me, but being able to foresee the future makes it all worthwhile."

what?

Li Wenyin was surprised. She had long known that the Si siblings in the novel were known for their kindness, but how could they be this kind of kind? It was almost a kind of foolish kindness that involved selfless dedication and altruism.

"Whether it's an ideal or a belief."

Si Zeyi looked up at the large ballroom that had been set up.

"You know what? I really admire the student council. They helped me before, and ever since then I've thought they were really cool and handsome."

"I want to repay them, but it's usually hard to see all of them, and I don't know what I can do. Encountering this future magical artifact... has allowed me to finally find a value that I can contribute."

and so.

In the novel, Si Zeyi goes crazy whenever Yuchi Quan is mentioned, shouting "Don't come any closer!" Is it because he foresees Yuchi Quan's future and is surrounded by a group of "unfamiliar" protagonists who have defeated Yuchi Quan, causing him to react violently? What he really wants to say is, "Don't come any closer, it's dangerous here."

After all that fuss, it turned out to be an absurd farce.

Foolish kindness.

-

As they approached the ballroom entrance, Li Wenyin suddenly turned around, a sudden movement that startled Si Zeyi.

Li Wenyin looked up and asked, "Senior Si, do you have a dance partner?"

"No," Si Zeyi stammered.

Li Wenyin said, "What a coincidence, I don't have any either!"

"Well..." Si Zeyi wasn't entirely stupid; he understood the implication. "I can invite you..."

"So!" Li Wenyin interrupted him in a loud voice, laughing as she said, "I'm going to dance solo."

What?

The dance was for entertainment, and there were indeed many students who didn't dance but just watched, but what about a solo dance?

Si Zeyi was speechless, stunned by Li Wenyin's unconventional thinking and unusually bold ideas.

"I've been thinking about it, and the Prom Star of our school has always been a duet winner, which makes me extremely dissatisfied," Li Wenyin said with a grin. "Anyway, I've been unconventional so many times, so why not be unconventional one more time and win the Prom Star with a solo dance? That would be a wonderful thing."

"Amazing..." Si Zeyi exclaimed, impressed by his boldness. "Then I'll applaud you from the sidelines."

"Okay." This was exactly what Li Wenyin wanted; she did need to delay Si Zeyi for a while.

-

And so the ball began.

The ceiling was magically opened up, and the surrounding area was replaced with colorful blinds. The top was open, and the starry night sky and the blinds reflecting the moonlight complemented each other, creating an extremely dreamlike and colorful ball.

As the music begins, the Milky Way cascades down, and carefully prepared falling stars flutter down from the sky, their beauty so exquisite that they seem impossible to grasp. The magic is dazzling and unparalleled.

The opening dance was performed by the two vice presidents.

Handsome men and beautiful women, working in perfect harmony, stepping to the beat of the music, their skillful and elegant collaboration, pulling and tugging at each other, creates a sense of rivalry even though they are dancing together.

This competition made their dance more dynamic, elegant and graceful yet crisp and clean.

After the dance ended, cheers erupted, and the atmosphere reached its climax. Other dancers who had been dancing together also joined in the lively party.

It was at this moment that Li Wenyin spun in like a top.

Using a spinning top to describe her solo dance is extremely apt; it's all about someone who isn't very good at dancing, but insists on dancing anyway.

As for any skills or strategies, there are none. It's all about being emotionally invested.

Her dance skirt was as puffy as her face, with a thick, multi-layered skirt. Li Wenyin would simply lift her hands slightly to make room for her feet, and then dance wildly and freely on her own.

When she gets really into jumping, she happily spins around, her big skirt swaying. If you're not careful, she can easily bump into people, making those around her look at her with a strange expression of "Oh my god, what's wrong with this girl?"

As she spun around, she got a little dizzy, so she swayed and stopped for a bit, but she still hummed and scurried around the dance floor with big strides, moving like a dragon or snake in the ink.

His classmates were dumbfounded.

-

"Is that... Li Wenyin?" Mu Feng's mouth dropped open, and he felt his face burning. "I always underestimated her level of nerves."

"What is she doing?" Pei Yuan's mouth was particularly sharp. "A half-step madwoman with a smile?"

Qin Guanyu was always the most understanding: "Xiaoyin has a lot of ideas."

"..." Yu Zhiyuan silently pulled down her hat a little, only daring to look at Li Wenyin's behavior through the lace trim of the hat.

Yu Zhiyuan silently thought to herself, "Li Wenyin is an invincible person, every breath and every move she makes exudes confidence."

Just as they were thinking about whether to temporarily sever ties with Li Wenyin at tonight's dance and pretend they didn't know her,

The spinning top, Li Wenyin, turned towards them.

Hi! My dear seniors!

Li Wenyin turned around with a grin, and absentmindedly tugged at Mu Feng's swallowtail coat, Pei Yuan's sleeve, Yu Zhiyuan's hat brim, and Qin Guanyu's cloak.

"Hey! What are you doing! Don't touch it!"

"Have you suddenly gone mad?"

"Xiaoyin, aren't you dizzy?"

"Do you like this hat? You can have it."

Amidst their chatter, Li Wenyin leisurely turned and walked away, radiating confidence, leaving them utterly bewildered, wondering what kind of trouble she was up to now.

What's wrong with this person...?

Oh well, it's normal for Li Wenyin to act strangely every now and then.
