"You're awake. The food is still warm."
“Pado just fell asleep, so I’m the only one available right now. Don’t mind.” An Yu breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Aponia wake up.
Although the doctor said that the shock he suffered might have been too great and it wasn't a serious problem, Aponia gave An Yu such a perfect feeling that the sudden occurrence of this incident threw him into a panic for a long time.
Aponia remained silent, looking at the boy's appearance, unsure whether to believe him or not, even though she felt she had already made up her mind when she left the meeting room that afternoon.
“Fate was cut short,” Aponi said woodenly.
This is as absurd as someone telling her that because of her timely action, she shot a suicidal teenager and prevented him from committing suicide.
An Yu was taken aback. Oh, I forgot you're a charlatan. If that's the case, then the end of one's destiny is indeed quite frightening.
"Next time you encounter this situation, you should be mentally prepared. At least you should tell me instead of just fainting."
After An Yu finished speaking, she let out an "ah" and gestured for Aponia to open her mouth and eat, even though the other party only had mental problems, not physical ones.
But taking care of others makes him happy.
“We were wrong.” Aponia didn’t eat, staring at An Yu with a serious expression.
They were wrong, and now they should be thinking about how to correct it, but An Yu doesn't seem to take it seriously.
"Eat first, and I'll explain after you've eaten."
Explanation? So he knew from the beginning?
Aponia was in a state of confusion, but the dinner was quite delicious; it was hard to imagine that the food provided by a typical hospital could be of this quality.
"How does it taste? I borrowed the hospital's kitchen. Although the flavor might have been lost a bit because it was heated once, your health is fine, so you don't need to avoid any foods. I think it still tastes better than the food sold outside."
She still talks so much, as if the things she worries about are insignificant to the other person.
Aponia put down her chopsticks and gazed quietly at An Yu. She cared more about An Yu's thoughts than the taste of the food.
"The final monster is called the Herrscher of the End, and the point where fate was originally broken should have been her."
"It might have been earlier now. Perhaps your abilities were eliminated during a certain Honkai, causing everyone to be insecure and fight each other, and you didn't even survive until the Herrscher of the End."
“But Aponia, if we continue down the normal path, we will have no way to deal with the Herrscher of the End.”
"Although we may die sooner now, we may also be able to gather the power of all humanity and overcome the final hurdle."
"It depends on how you look at it. Are you destined to die in the future, or do you want to suffer from the source once again and create new possibilities?"
An Yu was clearing away the dishes, preparing to go out and wash them later. As for the fate that Aponia mentioned... An Yu could only say that this was the only explanation he could think of for the time being.
After all, he couldn't see the path of fate, but he wouldn't mock Aponia. Everyone laughs at the man who worries about nothing, but who has ever thought about how much the man from Qi in the past, whose family was destroyed, whose country was in turmoil, who had to migrate hundreds of miles to survive, whose life was uncertain, and who was constantly on the move, must have been afraid of environmental disasters?
So Aponia must have lived a similar life in the past, except she still greeted people with a smile.
Aponia grasped An Yu's wrist, looking into his eyes amidst An Yu's questioning gaze.
"Is that really what you think?"
How did it become you again?
"Yes, and you should try to trust the invincible An Yu more,"
"By the time the threads of fate break, I may have already embarked on a new path."
"After all, I am the darling of fate."
"Alright, alright, before worrying about others, take care of your own health first. I'll go wash the dishes. If you get enough rest, you can actually be discharged tomorrow."
After watching An Yu leave, Aponia stared blankly at the empty room and Pado sleeping soundly beside her.
I feel like I've been tricked and boarded a pirate ship, but just a few days ago I thought this ship was Noah's Ark that would save the world.
In reality, she simply chose to eat that fruit in a place where right and wrong were indistinguishable. Even now, she cannot tell whether what she ate was forbidden fruit or not, and can only await the final judgment.
At this moment, Aponia began to miss An's nagging again.
Two or three minutes later, An Yu shook the water off her hands and saw Aponia's dazed expression, which she found inexplicably amusing.
"So, why did you choose to believe me in the first place?"
“Only you are unaffected by fate,” Aponia answered honestly.
So at first she truly believed what An Yu said, that fate had chosen her.
"Then you should trust me," An Yu declared directly!
"Whether it's you or anyone else, whether you can see fate or manipulate its threads, the fact that you are still affected by fate means that everything you do is a predetermined outcome."
"Therefore, you can only trust me, because fate has destined you to break apart, and if you want to avoid this outcome, you must find someone who is not affected by fate."
“Right now, I am standing right here, and you choose to believe in yourself, to believe that you can defy fate under its watchful eye. That is truly unreasonable.”
"So go to sleep, don't think so much, you've never been tall."
Chapter 275: Two-Seven-Two Scumbag Men and Women
Aponia's tendency to worry about others isn't necessarily a bad thing, but she's just too eager to improve herself.
She wanted to change anything when she saw a bad sign, and she wanted to eliminate any problems she saw, but her knowledge and everything about her made it impossible for her to distinguish right from wrong.
Therefore, An Yu made a direct assertion.
"You should trust me. If one day you feel that I am unreliable, then you, who are bound by fate, will only become more powerless."
"Like a large moth trapped in a spider web, no matter how much it struggles, it's just changing its posture before it dies."
That was a bit much, but An Yu wasn't the kind of person who was rigid and inflexible. You have to use different methods to deal with different people.
Especially with Aponia's personality, she's even more immature than An Yu.
Calling her a chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur) is not unfair; chuunibyou is essentially being self-centered.
"I'm sorry, my resolve wasn't strong enough." Aponia gently touched her forehead, admitting her mistake.
Although I was very unhappy, I couldn't find any way to refute it, and after careful consideration, what An Yu said seemed to make a lot of sense.
It was past 10 p.m. when An Yu left the hospital. She patted her cheeks, trying to make her expression look normal.
Aponia's situation is a bit serious, but upon closer inspection, it's not much different from before.
Even if Aponia hadn't appeared, An Yu would have moved in a similar direction; now she's just carrying the expectations of one more person.
Oh dear, time to go home.
When the door opened, Alicia and Mebius were clearly a little stunned, since An Yu had never come home this late before; she usually came home very early or didn't come home at all.
After finishing the last bite of instant noodles, Mebius got up to find An Yu a more expensive one, the kind with seasonings that looked very nutritious.
An Yu's face darkened: "Don't tell me that all you do when I'm not home is eat instant noodles?"
Alicia raises her hand.
"No, we sometimes choose to order takeout."
However, ordering takeout is a recent thing. Recently, Sister Mei has started to like eating meat, so she is not used to eating instant noodles all the time.
"That's great, should I praise you guys too?" An Yu said with a blank expression.
Why are some people so lazy?
It's normal for someone to be lazy at home when they're alone, but why don't two people living together cook?
"Instead of praising us, I think you should reflect on yourself." Alicia finished the last bite of her instant noodles, took a sip of soup, and dinner was over.
An Yu: ?
"We have two beautiful and delicate women at home, but you're always out flirting with other women and staying out all night. It worries us so much that we don't even feel like cooking anymore," Alicia complained sadly.
"Are the women outside really that good? You were a little more restrained during The Great Magician, but Sakura really stopped acting and spends all her time hanging out with kids. Now there's also Aponia and Paddo Phyllis."
"An Yu, are you really that thirsty? Can't Sakura and Wilvi satisfy you?"
"A prodigal son who returns is more precious than gold. An Yu, it's time for you to tone it down a bit."
Of course, Alicia complained that she would still be very troubled if An Yuzhen stayed at home all day.
After all, whether to stay home with An Yu or go out to find Eden or explore new things is indeed a difficult decision.
As Alicia spoke, she seemed to feel that her emotions were not yet clear enough, so she pulled her arms back and sadly flicked her sleeves.
"My husband is a fickle man; he only sees the new bride laughing, and he doesn't hear the old bride crying."
"Did you miss a word in the middle?" An Yu complained.
Alicia's face darkened. It's happening again! Who's here to discuss classical poetry with you?
“Sigh, speaking of which, An Yu, I think I understand your current predicament.” Alicia stopped fooling around and rested her fair cheek on her hand.
"Having too many friends can sometimes be a problem. What I really longed for was to be a passerby in someone's life, or better yet, to be a ray of light."
Alicia reached out her hand toward the light, but it was too bright, and she couldn't hold the pose for long.
"Instead of my current good friends, there aren't that many people in the world who share the same interests. My friends are just people who get along well on one thing."
"Just like when you told me about your past experiences, when you first met that great magician, you didn't ask for his name. That unspoken understanding is what I crave most."
"Unfortunately, Alicia seems to be a bit too outgoing, which has caused many unspoken understandings to lose their meaning."
"Waaaaah~ What should I do, An Yu? How can I politely and respectfully tell them that we're not actually that close?"
After saying that, Alicia pretended to be sad and wiped her eyes. She was numb. Because An Yu had been in the limelight for too many years, she no longer had any intention of hiding herself and was living a happier life.
Then I suddenly realized that there are no simple people in the world; their thoughts are all very complicated.
I treated them as friends, but they wanted to date me.
On the contrary, the boy she had initially been thinking about was very polite to her.
An Yu looked up and tugged at the corner of her mouth.
"Aren't you Aquaman?"
So even a player like Aquaman gets tired of things?
"You're the player! Take a look at your own social circle, who's really the player between us?"
An Yu pretended to count on her fingers, then looked up in confusion.
"I've done the math, and no matter how you look at it, you're definitely the playboy."
Alicia was furious and prepared to come up and take An Yu down with her, to let him know how much a girl values her reputation.
But in the end, a fight didn't break out, and Sister Mei found some instant noodles.
“You guys are still so energetic.” Speaking of energy, Mebius suddenly thought of the three people in the room, who had all lost their humanity.
She felt inexplicably sad, but then she thought that An Yu really had no choice. Alicia was never one to begin with, and only she herself had voluntarily lost her human orthodoxy.
However, she would still do the same thing if she had the chance to do it all over again. Lifespan is meant to limit geniuses, and without breaking through that limitation, her ideals will forever remain just a mirage.
"Sister Mei is more energetic. I really never thought that one day in the future, Alicia and I would lose our former enthusiasm, while Sister Mei would become a little more lively."
Although it's said that things will change somewhat after becoming a Fusion Warrior, Mebius's change is truly significant.
Originally, Anita Mui was quite concerned about her image, but after discovering that she had unlimited lifespan and seemed to have some trump card,
I started to become more easygoing.
Chapter 276: Only Sister Mei is a Good Woman (referring to the character Mei Jie)
“You’re not lacking in energy, you just have too much to do, so you use up all your energy when you get home.”
"Speaking of which, what exactly did you do today? Why did all the other continents suddenly change their minds and choose to believe in the Moth of Fire?"
Mebius didn't understand and was deeply shocked, while the leaders of other continents seemed to have been kicked in the head by a donkey.
It's all very strange, and it must be related to An Yu.
"I politely reasoned with them, and it turns out they are capable of listening to reason."
Seeing that Sister Mei didn't believe her, An Yu helplessly shrugged.
"That's right. Aponia politely said 'please,' and they started to think about it seriously and then agreed."
"Hypnosis? Doesn't seem like it. Psychological suggestion?" Möbius muttered, sensing that another formidable opponent had appeared at the Moth of Fire.
"By the way, how are you so sure you weren't influenced by suggestion?" Alicia asked.
Alicia tucked her legs together and then folded them into a reclining position on the sofa, looking somewhat languid, as if she had just woken up and was about to go to sleep.
"To be honest, I can't be sure, but when Aponia was imposing restrictions on other people, I didn't feel anything at all."
