Chapter 12 Follow my heart

The dream is over, the day dispels the night, and all illusions that only exist at night have completely disappeared. It was the beginning of another day, and the sound of vehicles passing by in the market sounded outside the window. The voice gradually became clear and slowly entered her hearing. Echo got out of bed happily, and suddenly remembered the dream just now, a wonderful and long dream. She takes risks in the dream, falls in love in the dream, cries in the dream... "What a dream! Did I watch anything before going to bed last night? How could I have such a dream?" She turned over and looked beside the pillow, but there was no book.

"...I have to think about it carefully and try to remember all the details. I think it can be a good novel idea for Sister Li." She is proud. She is just a child who has not yet grown up enough to understand her innocence, thinking that her short life experience can provide some creative ideas for her sister Li who has gone through life experiences... Her youth cannot let her know that this is impossible . Just as she doesn't understand that her greatest strength is simply being "young". She stretched again, and when she lowered her hand, she touched a small fluffy and hot thing.

She turned over and grabbed the thing, laughing loudly: "Hi! Sossett! I dreamed about you! In my dream, you turned into a beautiful and powerful elf king!" She was talking to the golden cat with the black spot. She didn't know if anyone could really talk to animals, but it all seemed natural to her. "Meow!" said the cat. "It's a good thing you can't speak, you have a bad mouth in your dream!" She put it gently at her feet. She couldn't remember why the cat's name was Sossett, maybe Sister Li picked it up. In her novels, Sister Li always used strange names that were difficult to remember and that most people would never take.

"Meow!" said the cat again. She also didn't research when she got a cat, only remembering which time she brought it back like this after school. She went to the bathroom to wash her face, and after washing her face again and again, she looked at herself in the mirror while wiping her face, but felt a little strange, as if the one in the mirror was not herself... She smiled. She asked her classmates, and many people felt this way. "Especially when you just woke up!" Which classmate said, she thinks it is most likely Peiying said: "If you stay up late to watch TV the night before, you will look in the mirror the next day and you will look like an old woman! You will shout loudly: Oh my God! I am a beautiful sixteen-year-old girl like a flower!—Hurry up and put on skin care products for two days! "

In fact, doing so will only lead to more pimples. Thinking of this, Echo laughed. After changing clothes, sister Li was cooking in the kitchen when she went downstairs. Sister Li's craftsmanship is average, she has never cooked any super big meals, because she said: "Eat a big meal? Go to a restaurant outside and you can get it for a few hundred yuan. Why do you bother yourself?" Echo laughed as he went downstairs, approached Sister Li, and asked: "something delicious?" "Instant noodles. I'll cook some vegetables and soak them together." Sister Li smiled.

What about today's show?What are you going to do today?Before thinking about these, it's best to finish today's homework first. It's best if you solve it earlier, so that you can play with confidence throughout the day. correct!She's going to find Jays at the "Adventure" near her home, to drink those delicious herbal teas, eat those delicious cakes and desserts, she doesn't care about contributing almost all of her pocket money to that coffee shop with no customers . At eleven o'clock in the morning, she packed Sossett in her backpack and went out with a notebook and a pen. The destination was the coffee shop "Adventure".

On the way, I will pass the community park. Every Monday and Wednesday, there will be a small night market filled with all kinds of strange stalls. Many of them are aboriginal stalls, some are handicrafts, and some are fun. Every time she sees those stalls, she always scrapes together the change in her pocket to buy something delicious and unique. She also likes to hear the tone of the aborigines' speech. It feels like a classmate when she was a child, sincerely speaking only words that are true, without embellishments, and without excessive emotions.Sincere, direct words. Passing by today, it is not a day for stalls, so there are no stalls.But she suddenly discovered that the seat that always sold aboriginal handicrafts turned out to be a flower stand behind it, which was about the same size as the living room balcony of Echo's house.

She was dumbfounded. A blooming lily on the flower bed, white, holy... For the first time in her life, she looked at the flowers and shed tears.She knew that this was a sudden feeling, just like the lightning and love in the sky, they always come suddenly.But the bottom of my heart is full of bitterness for no reason, clear and profound. She can't say why... Under the sunny sky, people's sentimentality will not last long. She wiped away the sudden tears and left reluctantly. On holidays, she is always the first to arrive when "Qi Yu" opens. Occasionally she would go there to do her homework, but the store manager didn't care, and treated her very well, and often entertained her with pastries, even the cat didn't stop her from bringing them.She knew that some furry customers didn't like the presence of animals in the store, thinking they were dirty.But this store has no such customers.

In fact, humans themselves are the dirtiest! As soon as she saw the handsome and beautiful store manager, she blushed unconsciously and her heart beat, and she was so nervous that her heart almost jumped out of her mouth. "Come in, Echo," Jayce always said, and opened the door. "What tea do you want today?" Jayce walked to the bar and asked. "You recommend it! I'm fine." Echo chose a window seat for two to sit down, carried Soset out and put it on the table. After stretching its body, it jumped off and wandered around the store. She took out a notebook and a pen from her backpack. Her sister Li said that if she wanted a computer, then Li sister wanted to buy a new notebook computer in four months, and the old one would be given to her so that she could write something, go online.For now, she should write by hand first!

"Do you do your homework?" Jayce asked, who came over with a teapot, cups, cakes, and homemade cakes on a tray. "Write about the dream I had yesterday! It's wonderful!" Echo quickly moved his seat and said, "I spent two and a half hours in the morning to solve my homework." "Dream? What dream?" Jayce sat down across from her, not at all like a storekeeper looking after a shop and worrying about customers not coming. "Thrilling and exciting dream!" Echo looked at him and said, "You are also in the dream..." Echo's gaze seemed to be attracted by a magnet, looking deep into Jayce's dark green eyes, where her reflection was.

She wanted to turn her eyes away from him, but it took all her willpower to do so. Sister Li said, don't look at yourself in a man's eyes, because your soul will be taken away by him through staring! Many girls are deceived by men's lies, mostly because they are confused by the reflection in the man's eyes. The reflection will make the girl mistakenly think that the man in front of him only sees her, and think that the passion in the man's eyes is burning because of her, making her Thinking that her fantasies and expectations were true, she forgot the fact that most of what men said were lies—— She couldn't take her eyes away. How could she avert her eyes?Her soul was taken away by him without knowing when. "Huh?" Jayce raised his left eyebrow and cast a questioning look. "Uh! In the dream...there is also your store in the dream, and there is South Seat, and, and..." She blushed suddenly, and forced herself to turn her head to look at the wooden cabinet on the wall. There were... there were... there were angels... There are some fortune-telling cards in a wooden cabinet on the wall, but no angels. For some reason, the fact was a little different from her expectations, which made her feel lost. When she turned back, she found that Jayce was still looking at her, and she was still alive in his eyes. She suddenly felt that the Jayce she knew was not only the person in front of her eyes, not just this figure, but also more, what she knew and what she didn't know! "Aren't you going to tell me about your dream?" he asked. "Hmm..." Echo was pulled back to reality by his voice, and said: "I... I dreamed that I was the son of an angel, and Gabriel protected me. A group of beautiful angels and elves surrounded me. Even Sosit and you, the king of magic in the dream, were protecting me. Of course, because There is danger—a very dangerous thing has happened, there are fallen angels, there are monsters..." As she talked, something came back to her...but then she went on: "Yes! Among the fallen angels there is Huliel..." She pauses for a moment, and Jayce looks like he's waiting for her to say more. After a while she said again: "...I don't really remember it. It's such a long, rich, and real dream, so I want to come here and try my best to recall it. I don't know why, but I just feel... I can remember it when I come here!" How could she have such wishful thinking?For unknown reasons, she felt that this was her other home... Jayce smiled lightly, as if he knew the reason for everything, and encouraged her to continue talking with his eyes. "In the dream, my favorite angel - Gabriel... also died, I am so sad..." She remembered...the meaning of the lily flowers she saw on the way to "Adventure", just like echoing the dream she wanted to talk about. She paused, waiting for time to ferment, and then said: "Now that I think about it, this dream... is simply the favorite plot of ordinary girls. To be loved and protected by a bunch of handsome and outstanding people, to be free from harm and from the destruction of evil deeds, in fact, I also know that only dreaming Such a wonderful thing will happen! If it is not in the dream, how many people can enjoy such privileges? Only in the dream can there be justice and hope..." yes!How many things in this real world are products that exist to satisfy the desires of these girls?What's so great about it?It is because these things may not be found in reality that dreaming can be so satisfying. It's just... It's a dream... Suddenly, she choked up and shed tears, the words between her lips stopped, but the tears could not stop. "echo?" "I think……" The tears occupying her eyes have a name: bitterness. She thought in the language of the celestial world, which found its own outlet, took shape by itself, became life by itself, and became language by itself. "I think... all of this... maybe... it's not a dream..." There was a sour taste in her heart, which kept rushing towards her eye sockets. The surrounding scenery has changed, not a dream, nor a reality. Jayce's dark green eyes still did not leave her, but there were other emotions and colors in his eyes. She could tell—she told herself: Jays wasn't just Jays, maybe he was the whole world, or maybe all of time. This may not mean anything. Her sister Li said that men and women in love will also have this ridiculous illusion, mistakenly thinking that the other party is the only one in this world, or that the other party represents the whole world. But she knew this case was different... She felt strength, and something slowly sprouting inside of her. She could feel time passing by... It was an experience like the wind!An experience that is impossible for human beings—— Human beings can only know the coldness of the wind, the heat of the wind, the sharpness of the wind, the fury of the wind, or even the gentleness of the wind, but they never know the flow of the wind of time. After a while, Sossit jumped onto the table, looked at her with golden eyes, and said after a while: "Everyone says it's better for you to go back to your previous life, back to the time when you didn't know anything, it was unanimously approved, so Your Majesty..." As soon as she heard Soset speak in that sharp voice, Echo covered her face with her hands, trembling uncontrollably. "Ah?" Seeing her crying, Sossett became anxious, stretched out his front paws in a panic, and said: "Hey! What did I say wrong? Hey! Don't cry..." "...I...I should die! Why?..." Echo didn't wipe away her tears, she looked around the inside of the store, then cast her eyes out of the window for a while, then she looked at her hands. How long has it been since she came back to reality? How many days?How many months?Or how many years? "Angel Echo has assimilated with you." Jayce said with a smile: "So now you can be a human being or an angel. Although you have drunk an insufficient amount of spirit crystal water, you can also be an elf. You can wander in time and space, and feel the wind of time. There is nothing for you. What is the end..." "Eternity?" she cried. "Yes." Jayce said: "However, since such an eternity does not exist from a human point of view, therefore..." "So there is no eternity, but I am there?" Echo said something Jayce had said before. She knew at last what it meant, a feeling beyond human comprehension, like the undying joy and sorrow of an immortal, but she was both. Jayce showed his usual smile, and said in a mantra, which is also a divine language: "The angel echoed: Do as you wish." "He... assimilated with me?" She burst into tears. She thought of her twin—the beautiful angelic echo, the way her half body comforted her. "You were originally the same living body, both twins and only one, but because of a blunder, you became two people. It is your wish to go back to the past, so I did it. If the other party has no choice, I can't give any results!" He was, as he said, a bystander. All angels are probably in the same condition, since only they can give each other eternal death. "Knowing nothing is happier. If you forget all this and us, none of us will blame you." Sossett said uncertainly. "No!" she cried, but smiled: "I need to know, I need to remember, I don't want to forget all of you... even though there's bitterness and death and loss and sadness, but that's all there is to it. What happened is real, what was created is what it is. " What she was speaking at this time was also the language of the gods—the language of the gods, which was a language in another realm, a language that humans could not learn. She cried and laughed, embracing the dream of herself and another self. "You have a choice." Jayce also laughed, but the smile disappeared instantly.He said like a demon king: "You as a human have already made your choice and died, but you as an angel have not yet chosen your wish. Under the law of checks and balances, I had a contract with Angel Echo. Once the contract has been fulfilled, it is eternal. enough in exchange for your choice." "...wish?" Echo wiped away tears. Because she became an immortal, she finally understood that many feelings can only be understood when she enters that realm!When she was a human being, no matter how smart she was or how others explained it, she couldn't know what happened... After she entered the realm of immortality, she instantly understood many things that she had been puzzling about as a human being! She already knew at a glance what path she should choose or could choose. Such a world has already opened up before her eyes... "Drinking the soul crystal water, will you love me?" She remembered the question she asked at that time. "No," he replied. Yet another voice said to herself in a tone of accusation: Why can't there be love that makes you feel happy just by looking at each other? Of course you can! That was the kind of happiness she could experience.There is no need to rush to synchronize with others, and there is no need to accommodate other people's definitions. That is her happiness. "...The choice seems difficult, especially for people in a dilemma. But..." Jayce smiled again and said: "Maybe in front of you, there is no question of whether to choose or not?" "Follow my wish? Your Majesty the Demon King?" Echo also laughed. The demon king, who was as beautiful and as deep as a god of heaven, smiled again and did not speak.
