I have no regrets about my 2D world!

"Is it really possible?" Rumya was obviously a little excited.

Can she finally get rid of the state of being hungry for who knows how long after eating a meal?

"Sure." Bai chuckled, then his expression turned serious again. "But from now on, you are not allowed to eat anything else without my permission."

"Okay!" Rumia cheered and jumped onto Bai.

Bai immediately reached out to catch Rumia's body, rubbed her head and put her back on the ground.

"Okay, I have other things to do now. Let me take you to a place to stay. You need to rest well after eating."

"Well, I'm a little sleepy." As if Bai's words had some hypnotic power, Rumia immediately fell drowsy.

Bai narrowed his eyes slightly, raised his hand slightly, and Rumia's body disappeared.

Then he looked up at the sky. It was already getting late because he had been delayed by Rumia for a while.

After observing the surroundings again and confirming that there were no other possible situations, he walked away.

......

At the edge of the lost bamboo forest, Meihong, who had already made an appointment with Bai, was about to get ready.

The house had already been cleaned spotlessly, and the surrounding walls and cabinets were decorated with festive floral decorations.

Memories of the past thousand years kept surfacing in her mind: her brothers and sisters, her parents, Kaguya, and everyone who had helped her, until they finally settled on a male face with a gentle smile.

Meihong's lips curled up slightly, and the flowers outside the window seemed to look even more beautiful.

After confirming that there was no place in the house that needed to be tidied, Meihong sat in front of the dressing mirror after a long absence.

She tied her long hair into a bow with a red ribbon, and then took out a jewelry box from the table that looked very old. It contained some cosmetics that belonged exclusively to Meihong and her mother.

This was the power she asked Kaguya to preserve forever, and now it was finally time to use it.

With some light makeup on, her fair face looks even more rosy, just like the delicate white peony is shy.

Meihong straightened her messy temples in front of the mirror, gently closed the lid of the jewelry box, smiled slightly, and wanted to look carefully for any imperfections.

But as if he suddenly heard some noise, he hurriedly put away the things in front of him, returned to the room, and changed into clothes that had been prepared long ago.

At the same time, Bai Ye walked briskly to the vicinity of Meihong's residence.

Chapter 34: Wish Fulfilled

"Meihong, are you home now?"

When he arrived at the door, Bai did not enter immediately, but asked at the door first.

Although they had made an agreement, Bai had no idea what Meihong's current condition was.

When he was in the Garden of Eden, he felt that something was wrong with Meihong, but after testing, he found that there was nothing wrong. Later, when he went to other places to enjoy the banquet, he kept paying attention to Meihong, but still did not find any problems, so he gave up observing her.

As for now... he will handle any problems that arise.

"Bai!" Meihong exclaimed from inside the house, followed by a hasty response, "Are we there yet? Um... wait a moment, I'll be ready soon."

"Sure, Meihong just needs to prepare slowly."

Bai chuckled, turned around and sat down at the table and chairs in front of the door, then began to observe his surroundings.

There were some mostly closed books on the table. Judging from the covers, they seemed to be the storybooks he had given to Meihong in the past. Next to them was a pot of cold tea made from some unknown tea.

Bai picked up the obviously empty and unused cup next to the teapot and poured himself a cup, then sipped it gently.

It is slightly bitter at first, and after a short wait, a hint of sweetness appears, followed by a refreshing fragrance that lingers in the mouth for a long time.

There were some bamboos placed in the open space next to the table. Judging from the traces, they seemed to have been cut down not long ago, but Bai looked around but did not see any tools that could be used to cut bamboo.

After a moment's thought, he put down his teacup, stood up, and walked to the side of the house.

Sure enough, there was an open space on the side for placing things woven with bamboo.

If he guessed correctly, Meihong should be making money by selling these bamboos to have a stable living fund.

but...

"There doesn't seem to be any place to cook here."

There is a bamboo forest at the back and an open space on the side. There is only a table, a few chairs and some tools in the front. The house is not big. Excluding the living room, there are only two rooms at most. In addition, it is made of wood, so there is no way to use fire.

So...what does Meihong usually eat?

As a Penglai person, you will never die, but your human organs will continue to function.

If you don't eat, you will be hungry. If you get cut, you will be injured. If you have a wound, you will feel pain. In other aspects, your life is no different from that of ordinary people.

"Looks like I'll have to prepare some food for Meihong later." Bai sighed and returned to the table and chairs.

The people in Gensokyo are obviously not poor...Except for Reimu, they don't even eat properly.

"Um, Bai, I'm fine here."

Just as Bai Gang sat down and was thinking about whether he should explain to Meihong the importance of eating, Meihong's voice was heard from inside the room.

Bai turned his head to look inside the house, with something strange in his eyes.

How could he hear a sense of youthfulness in Meihong's voice, the kind of state a girl who had never been in love would feel when facing the person she liked?

But on second thought, Meihong has surpassed the category of a girl in terms of age, and in other aspects, both her appearance and emotional experience are extremely young.

Now we are facing an important stage in our life, so it is not surprising that we are in this state.

And if you think about it carefully, even though he has had clear relationships with many girls, he doesn't seem to have gone through the so-called love stage, or he has never had the urge to pursue a particular girl.

In a sense, it is a sad thing.

And out of some strange self-esteem and satisfaction with the status quo, he doesn't want to actively pursue other girls, otherwise it would be too despicable.

After silently criticizing himself in his mind, Bai stood up and walked into the house.

When I pushed open the door, the layout of the living room was almost the same as outside, with a table, a few chairs, and not even a sofa.

Bai paused briefly, raised his hand, and had the urge to rearrange the place, but before he could do anything, Meihong's voice came again.

"Shiro, I'm... over here."

Meihong seemed to be worried that Bai couldn't find the place, so she deliberately reminded him.

Turning his head to look at the tightly closed bedroom door, Bai didn't hesitate any longer. He walked to the door and gently pushed it open.

The first thing I saw was a girl dressed in gorgeous clothes sitting beside the bed.

The girl has black hair, a peacock-holding flower crown on her head, a phoenix-shaped hairpin, and an embroidered green silk dress.

There was light makeup on her eyebrows and cheeks that was almost invisible without careful consideration. Her hands were clasped in her legs, and she kept making small movements to adjust her clothes, which were not a bit messy.

As if she finally noticed Bai's gaze, the girl glanced over, accidentally met his eyes, and then looked away in panic.

Bai didn't move, perhaps because the scene before him was so stunning that he was a little distracted, or perhaps he had some thoughts of teasing the girl in his heart. With a smile on his lips, he looked at the girl silently.

Finally, the girl seemed to realize Bai's intention. She suppressed her shy expression and turned her gaze back, her cherry lips slightly parted:

"White~"

The melodious bass sound penetrated Bai's countless defenses and instantly hit his heart, making him a little dazed for a moment.

Yes, Meihong is different from Kaguya and the others. Although they are all immortals, Kaguya and the others were either born with the ability or became immortals after some pursuit. Only Meihong is different.

Meihong had only one purpose when she became an immortal, and that was to stay by his side.

He believed that if he had not been an immortal at that time, Meihong would definitely not want to become a Penglai person.

As if something was touched in his heart, Bai Qingqing sat next to Meihong and held her in his arms.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting, Meihong."

"It's okay. Isn't Bai always busy with other things?"

Meihong leaned over and looked up at Bai with infatuated eyes.

"Besides, I've been waiting for this, haven't I?"

Yes, I finally waited for it.

Bai gently stroked Meihong's hair, his eyes full of love.

Fate is something that cannot be explained or understood. It is not something that can be controlled like destiny. It is closely related to all living things in the world, yet it cannot be controlled by anyone.

He was helped by Meihong when he first came here, which is why he went back to the past to help Meihong. And because they had feelings for each other in the past, Meihong helped him before.

If he was a native of Gensokyo, it could be said that it was the world consciousness that was playing tricks and manipulating their fate.

Unfortunately he is not.

The first thing he did after gaining the ability was to conduct a thorough examination of himself to confirm that there was no trace of tampering with his memory and destiny.

But this series of events still made him doubt.

Is there anything in the world that transcends fate and can connect people together?

Maybe there is, but he can't access it now, so he didn't think about it anymore.

No matter what, things have already happened, and all he can do is accept it calmly. Although he can change the fate of everyone in Gensokyo, it is completely unnecessary.

After all, a life that has been modified no longer belongs to you.

Unless he has to, he will never touch the fate of others casually, and doing so can better suppress the expansion of his heart after gaining strength.

"From now on, I won't make you wait any longer." Bai smiled slightly and lowered his head. Meihong also closed her eyes.

An invisible barrier enveloped the place the moment their lips touched, and the girl who had waited for a thousand years finally realized her wish.

Chapter 35: Poor Lingxian

Inside the barrier, the speed of time flowed much differently from the outside world due to Bai's adjustment. While only one day passed in the outside world, a month passed inside the barrier.

Of course, the barrier is not as small as it was at the beginning. It now covers an area about ten times the size of Meihong's house. After all, it is impossible for the two of them to continue discussing the origin of life.

During this period, Baijiu stayed with Meihong steadily. On weekdays, the two of them would sit in front of the door and chat, or play some intimate games. In short, they lived a very comfortable life.

Meihong's mentality gradually returned to normal, at least in Bai's opinion.

A month passed until Meihong, who had other things to do and couldn't always accompany Bai, took the initiative to suggest lifting the barrier.

They have plenty of time in the future, and she has already spent a lot of time alone, so she can't be so greedy any longer.

Otherwise, she would really be addicted to it.

Early in the morning, the two walked out of the house, intending to go find Huiyin together to tell her the good news and buy some things. However, as soon as they walked out of the door, they found that there was already a figure waiting outside.

He was holding something in his hand, with a pair of rabbit ears drooping listlessly, and it looked like he had been here for quite some time.

When he saw the two people coming out, his eyes instantly perked up and his ears stood up. Then he quickly walked up to the two people and handed over the things in his hand.

"Hello, Miss Meihong, and this..." Lingxian looked at Bai, not sure how to address him.

At the banquet, she learned about Bai's relationship with several others, and especially saw the secret side of her own princess.

If Bai only had a relationship with Kaguya, then she could legitimately call him Prince Consort or something like that, but there were so many people... I heard that the one named Huo Qing'e was also a princess. It would be okay for her to call her that in front of people who knew the relationship between them, but if they didn't, there might be some misunderstanding.

What's more, Meihong was right in front of him, so shouting like that was somewhat provocative.

"Just call me Bai. I don't really care about etiquette here."

"Lingxian, you can just call me by my name." Meihong also agreed.

Because Suzusen often represents Eien-tei when she's out and about, and from time to time she goes to the human world to do business and buy things. In addition, because of Kaguya, she and Suzusen have a very good relationship.

He was addressing her respectfully now, probably because he was still a little reserved since he was not familiar with Bai yet.

"Then I'll call you Mr. Bai. After all, you have a close relationship with the princess. And if the master finds out that I call you by your name, I'll get scolded."

Seeing that Bai seemed easy to talk to, Lingxian breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Kaguya told her not to be nervous when they came out, she had never talked to Bai after all, and didn't know Bai's temperament very well. They only met once at the banquet, so it was better for her to be respectful.

But now it seems that Bai is no different from the party, and I am finally relieved.

"Hello, Mr. Bai, and Meihong, this is a gift from the princess. She said it's to congratulate... to congratulate Meihong on achieving her wish."

After a slight hesitation, Lingxian still did not say what Kaguya asked her to say.

"Please congratulate Meihong for achieving what she always wanted to do."
