"Will it be alright?" she asked timidly.
Xia Mu nodded firmly: "Definitely!"
Actually, until before he time-traveled, the author hadn't written about breaking Odin's Word of Power...
"what is this?"
Erii's sadness lingered for a while, her attention drawn to the lyrics in his hand.
"A song I wrote when I was overwhelmed by your memories."
Xia Mu handed it to her to see.
“I once thought about ending it all, because my heart was empty.”
"To feel empty and cry is to yearn for fulfillment."
Erii cried again when she saw this.
Xia Mu was at a loss for words: "It was just something I felt compelled to write down..."
"Woooo..."
But Erii cried even harder, almost gasping for breath.
Because his lyrics are like knives stabbing right into your heart.
“I once thought about ending it all, because people called me cold-blooded.”
"The reason I cry because I want to be loved is because I have tasted the warmth of human kindness."
Xia Mu quickly turned the page: "Look at the next page, look at the next page. I'm not expressing despair, I'm expressing hope."
Erii's pitiful appearance, with tears streaming down her face, was finally seen at the end.
"I once thought about ending it all, because I hadn't met you yet."
"Because of the birth of people like you, I have a slightly better feeling about the world."
"Because there are people like you living in this world, I have a little bit of hope for the world."
She stared blankly at the last few sentences, motionless, as if in a trance.
For this nation, which is under extreme mental repression, this is a game-changer. It has inspired countless people to abandon suicide and rekindle their hope for life.
For Erii, these lyrics were also extremely impactful.
She always felt abandoned by the world, that she was a little monster destined to be killed, but now, Xia Mu wrote, "As long as people like you exist, life has something to look forward to."
"Even if the world doesn't like you, as long as someone likes you, you have value," Xia Mu said earnestly.
Erii raised her head and stared at him blankly.
Her thin, pink lips parted slightly, then closed tightly again.
There are things I want to ask, but I don't dare to.
If a dating expert were here, they would definitely say to her, "I like you, your existence is valuable," just like Chairman Lu's hug stemming from a misunderstanding, which would easily win over Erii.
But Natsuki was a bit dense. He earnestly gave Erii some moral guidance: "So, people don't live to gain everyone's approval. The most important thing is to gain your own approval and have some like-minded people by your side. That's enough."
Erii continued to stare at him.
"Well, there's also..."
Xia Mu's forehead was sweating: "What I mean is, we don't need to care about what others or the world think. As long as we're happy, anything is fine."
Erii blinked.
“Oh right, and also,” Xia Mu racked his brains for inspirational quotes, “the meaning of life lies in every moment of joy. We should give life to the years, not give years to life. Being happy in the present moment is more important than anything else.”

Erii's lips subtly curved into a beautiful smile.
In Xia Mu's eyes, it was like the spring breeze blowing across the earth, with all things growing and flowers blooming.
She smiled.
A sense of satisfaction welled up in Xia Mu's heart.
Having arrived in the world of dragons, what could be more meaningful than changing Erii's fate?
Compared to becoming an idol star, Xia Mu felt more accomplished in shaping the values of this tragic girl who was like a blank sheet of paper, helping her understand the world, and becoming her true self.
If those readers of Dragon Clan who felt a deep sense of injustice in their past lives knew this, they would surely feel gratified.
I'll take care of this girl's happiness for the rest of her life!
Xia Mu said to himself in his heart.
"I'm going to take a shower."
Erii moved her fair, tender legs off the bed, stood up, and placed her smooth feet on the floor.
Before Xia Mu could recover from her sudden turn of events, she saw the girl's clothes fall like snowflakes, leaving a pile of red and white shrine maiden clothes on the ground, like the cicada's shell left behind because beauty was paramount.
"Eri..."
Xia Mu closed her eyes instantly and said weakly, "I just told you that you can't just touch the opposite sex casually, so of course you can't just show your body to the opposite sex casually."
"why?"
Erii stretched out her beautiful body and once again asked her endless questions.
“Because the body is a person’s privacy, only they can see it themselves,” Xia Mu said with her eyes closed.
"Except for the person you're going to marry."
He added a sentence.
Erii did not respond.
He heard her open the cabinet door, and then he heard her say, "Okay."
Xia Mu thought she opened the closet to take out a bathrobe to put on, so he opened his eyes.
The first thing you notice is the little yellow duck on her head...
Then, the girl let out a cute cheer, tiptoed around the room, and ran happily into the bathroom.
All that was left for Xia Mu was a silhouette with red hair flying in the wind, and a dazzling expanse of snow-white skin that almost blinded him…
"In the end, saying it was the same as saying nothing at all..."
Xia Mu covered his eyes with his hands, forcibly erasing the beautiful image that kept flashing through his mind to avoid his blood pressure rising too high.
The time it took for Erii to finish her bath felt exceptionally long, because she wasn't taking a bath, she was soaking in it, and she wouldn't come out for at least an hour or two.
Xia Mu sat outside, looking at the lyrics in her hand, while the sound of rushing water filled her ears, stirring her heartstrings.
Then he saw the girl's fingers sliding on the back of the frosted glass.
"Do you want to take a shower?" she wrote.
"You go first," Xia Mu said.
Perhaps because the sound of the running water was loud, she didn't say anything and continued writing: "I'm taking a long bath. There's a shower next to it, you can come in and shower."
Xia Mu: "..."
Chapter Seventeen: Why Can't We Sleep Together
It took a lot of effort for Natsuki to finally make Erii understand that she shouldn't invite a man of the opposite sex to bathe with her...
"They're really blank slates..."
Xia Mu shook his head, feeling that he had a long way to go and a heavy responsibility to shoulder.
He began composing music based on the lyrics.
Just like he said before, he can now write lyrics and compose music on his own, so if the system doesn't have new features, he won't need it at all.
"Summoning each other..."
Natsuki thought of the contract between him and Erii, and many thoughts flashed through his mind.
"This ability, if used well, can be incredibly effective; at least no one can trap us, but..."
A conflicted look appeared on his face: "If I stay with Erii all the time, this ability will become ineffective. What should I do with Erii...?"
Time slipped away little by little as he pondered.
"Ding dong."
At a certain moment, a crisp sound came from outside, followed by the sound of the heavy door opening.
Genji walked in.
"Xiao Mu, I'm here."
As he walked to the door of the inner room, he saw Natsuki and Erii sitting side by side in front of the television, engrossed in a battle.
Neither of them paid any attention to him until the word "KO" appeared in large letters on the television screen.
Xia Mu's face darkened: "We lost again."
When he transmigrated, who was still playing this game? And the memories that appeared out of nowhere could only teach him how to play, but he couldn't inherit the muscle memory from playing for a long time. It can only be said that it was not his fault.
Erii didn't think he was bad at his job; instead, she raised her eyebrows at his frustrated look.
Then, she raised her head and looked at Yuan Zhisheng. She opened her mouth but didn't say anything because she saw that Yuan Zhisheng's gaze was only focused on Xia Mu.
She lowered her long eyelashes, and the curve of her eyebrows slowly disappeared.
"Xiao Mu, your performance today was much worse."
Genji walked over, glancing at Erii out of the corner of his eye, and said, "Was it because the other person was a girl that you went easy on her?"
Xia Mu said sullenly, "No."
Although Yuan Zhisheng knew that he could speak, his muscles still tensed up subconsciously the moment he heard him speak, before relaxing.
"Is something the matter?" Xia Mu looked up at him.
Genji stood there, at a loss for words.
