After completing the first mission, when Bai Weiran accepted the second mission, he learned a shocking rule.
The first mission is a beginner mission, a warm-up round. The real mission begins from the second mission. The number of times he can use his ability will be limited by the energy bar. Except for the first round, he will receive an energy bar from the APP every time he starts a new mission.
It consumes a certain amount of energy to use an ability.
If the yandere girl hasn't ended her inappropriate relationship with the scumbag after the energy bar is used up, the mission will fail. Complete the mission before the energy bar is used up, and any unused energy will be added to the user's level experience.
Simply put, this energy bar is a limitation imposed by the app itself.
You are restricted to using your resources on the mission target alone, and you cannot do whatever you want in other worlds to satisfy your personal desires. At the same time, this energy bar will also limit the completion time. Every time you travel to a parallel universe, you will consume a small amount of energy. Bai Weiran has calculated that his current energy bar length will be exhausted within eight months, even if he does nothing and just travels to parallel worlds every day.
The amount of energy consumed to use an ability varies.
Simple superpowers, such as levitation, taking objects from mid-air, or freely controlling objects, are very weak.
Once biological aspects are involved, the consumption becomes very rapid.
He cannot heal wounds, but he can help the other person calm down as quickly as possible.
At first, he gave Yu Mengmeng her heart medication, but he discovered that the medication actually had significant side effects. After taking it, Yu Mengmeng would often turn pale, become drowsy, vomit, lose her appetite, and look as listless as a dehydrated cabbage. He couldn't bear it, so he tried to use his abilities to calm her heartbeat, and to his surprise, it was very effective.
After reducing her medication intake, Yu Mengmeng's overall spirits improved, and she started acting up in various ways.
Every medicine has its side effects; how can someone who's constantly on medication be in a good mood?
Yu Mengmeng was unaware of all this. She calmed down, nestled against Bai Weiran's left chest, and sobbed softly.
"Don't leave me alone... I don't want to die all alone..."
Yu Mengmeng is actually afraid of death.
Many nights, she lay alone in bed, in so much pain that she broke out in a cold sweat, curled up in a ball, desperately wanting to die, but also afraid that if she died like that, no one would remember her.
"Actually, I know that if I'm not here, Mom, Dad, and my brother can all be happier—" The white-haired girl grabbed Bai Weiran, tears streaming down her face like they were free. Her crying was anything but graceful; it was the kind of tear-streaked mess that makes you look like a little kitten.
"I know I should die. I'm in so much pain, and they're in so much pain too, but I'm not reconciled. I'm not reconciled to be gone, but everyone seems happier than when I was here... Waaaaaah..."
"I wish I could just die like this, no, I don't want to just die like this..."
Her words were incoherent, and she mumbled a lot of her innermost thoughts.
Bai Weiran remained silent, simply placing his hand gently on her shoulder to steady her heartbeat and ease her pain.
Yu Mengmeng mentioned a sandpit in a park near her home where children play.
What was originally a playground for children gradually became a gathering place for stray cats.
A public toilet for stray cats.
Parents in the neighborhood thought it was dirty and wouldn't allow their children to play there. So Yu Mengmeng would go to the park when no one was home, wearing a hat and a mask, and sit near the sandpit watching the cats playing.
She especially liked one of the orange cats.
The orange cat is very thin, but every time it sees her, it always greets her very familiarly and will lie down on her lap.
The orange cat never got along with the other cats and couldn't get food, so it was always very thin.
Yu Mengmeng would steal chicken or fish from home to feed it.
Once, after several days of heavy rain, she immediately ran out to look for it as soon as the rain stopped.
Then they found the little orange cat lying under the lounge chair where they usually met, its body ice-cold.
It died alone on a rainy night, perhaps letting out a faint meow before it died, but it was silent and no one heard it.
Yu Mengmeng then thought of herself.
Many times when her illness flared up, she lay in bed, weakly groaning in pain, but her groans were drowned out by the loud noises from the next room.
They sounded like they were groaning, crying and screaming that they were really going to die, that they couldn't go on.
She was truly in dire need of help, yet no one cared for her here.
"I don't want to die like the little orange cat," she sobbed.
She had just suffered a heart attack because she was afraid that Bai Weiran would never talk to her again after the argument and would never come to this room again.
"I feel so tired, so tired of living. My heart always aches. I don't want to think about Cheng-gege, but thinking about him makes me hurt too. I want to die, I want to die with Cheng-gege—"
Bai Weiran waited until she finished speaking.
"It's okay. If you find it too hard, then it's okay to die."
Yu Mengmeng: ...! ! ?
That stopped the tears.
To gain a deeper understanding of yandere girls, Bai Weiran studied a large number of psychology books.
One particularly interesting psychotherapist uses reverse thinking. When patients complain about wanting to die, whether it's people around them or the therapist, the advice is usually to encourage the patient to think positively.
The therapist found that this approach did not actually improve the patient's anxiety.
If someone already feels that life is very tiring and painful, and you still advise them to persevere, you are telling them to continue to grit their teeth and bear this fatigue and pain.
So this therapist did the opposite and told the patient: "It's okay to die, you know~"
Yu Mengmeng had never heard anyone say this to her before, and her mind went blank for a moment.
After Bai Weiran dropped the bombshell, which stopped her from her self-pity and panic, he slowly added more details.
"If you've exhausted all your strength to survive and still feel overwhelmed by life, then let go of all the rules and constraints! Including the constraint of 'not being able to die'."
He shifted to a more comfortable position, leaning against the bedpost and holding Yu Mengmeng. Yu Mengmeng felt very light, like holding a porcelain doll. Yu Mengmeng subconsciously wrapped her arms around his neck and obediently sat on his lap, instantly forgetting about her fear of men.
"Many people say they want to die, not because they don't want to live, but because they care too much about the opinions and judgments of others. The thought of wanting to die also contains the idea of wanting to change - oh, I'm excluding those who are always emo, who are physically healthy but have giant minds but dwarf actions."
"Mengmeng, you've worked very hard!" he praised, and he meant it sincerely.
"You bravely endured so many nights all by yourself. Your body is your own, and no one can help you. None of us know how much pain and discomfort you were in, or how many side effects those medications caused to your body."
Physical pain is the most devastating to a person's mind.
It is truly remarkable that Mengmeng has managed to retain such an innocent and carefree childlike spirit.
Xx
As usual, let's have some fun!
Chapter Ten! I don't like pants!
The masked youth held the white-haired, red-eyed girl and began to tell her a story.
That's an old Chinese story.
A person on the bridge saw a fish and said, "The fish looks so happy."
When my argumentative friend heard this, he retorted: "You're not a fish, how do you know it's happy?"
The person calmly replied: You are not me, how do you know I don't know how fish feel?
Yu Mengmeng listened to the story, and although she didn't quite understand it, she felt it was inexplicably profound, and she pouted in thought.
Bai Weiran's arrangements for Mengmeng differed from Qin Ning's.
The Analects, which teaches scholars how to cultivate themselves, manage their families, govern the state, and bring peace to the world, contains many principles for maintaining social stability, human relationships, ethics, and proper conduct. The author of this book himself had the ability to govern a country, and Qin Ning's social class, perspective, and temperament made him suitable to learn the principles in this book.
But giving it to Mengmeng would be a bit too much.
It's good enough that she doesn't rebel with her small frame; expecting her to govern the country and bring peace to the world is worse than her being healthy and free from disasters.
With an open mind, a carefree and leisurely attitude, and a calm and magnanimous spirit, mental illness will naturally improve significantly.
The topic he chose for Yu Mengmeng was "Zhuangzi".
Moreover, compared to the Analects, which is full of profound thoughts, dialogues, and allegorical stories about wise rulers, Zhuangzi is clearly more suitable for Yu Mengmeng, who is more naive and lacks maturity.
"So, we're not you, we don't know how much pain you're in. Telling you not to die is asking you to keep going through the motions of life tomorrow. How difficult is that?"
Normally, Yu Mengmeng would have thrown a tantrum.
She says she wants to die, but she also wants to be comforted. However, after being comforted, she feels empty and doesn't believe that other people's comfort is sincere. She is torn between these contradictions.
But now that she feels comfortable and her heartbeat has calmed down, she is able to rationally ask Bai Weiran a question.
"So you mean I should hurry up and die?"
"No, not exactly." Bai Weiran shook his head with a smile.
"If you just want to die now, but don't really want to die yet, why bother? But you can think about it, let's imagine that you are already dead at this moment."
"...?!"
"The Yu Mengmeng died a second ago, and the Yu Mengmeng of this second is a new Yu Mengmeng. The things that happened before can be cut off. There is a sad barrier between you and her. For example, when your brother Cheng held my hand, that was a thing of the past, a very distant time."
In fact, it happened only forty minutes ago.
But as Yu Mengmeng followed Bai Weiran's lead, she suddenly felt that the matter was far away.
The heartache and anger I felt just now seemed fake.
It even seemed somewhat absurd.
She cried, made a scene, and felt heartbroken over this, but now she's not angry anymore, and feels relaxed and comfortable.
A glimmer of light gradually appeared in her exquisite and beautiful red eyes, and she secretly raised her chin.
"So you're not Nan Tong?"
"No."
"I'm not you, how would I know you aren't?"
Bai Weiran: ...Outrageous, these girls are all too intelligent and their reactions are too clever.
For the rest of the time, they argued for a full hour about whether it was Nan Tong who disturbed Bai Weiran's choice of the sand dune cave entrance, which was a terrible plan. Even when Yu Mengmeng was too tired to sleep, she still muttered to herself with her eyes half-closed.
"Today is the first time I've ever run so far... I'm so tired..."
"Wasn't I amazing? I blocked so many scorpion monsters... Ahh... Wasn't I amazing?"
Bai Weiran laughed, "Yes, yes, you're great, you're the best little knight."
Yu Mengmeng fell asleep contentedly.
Bai Weiran was about to leave when he saw a piece of paper with writing on it on the table and curiously went over to it.
