PFC Chapter 116 Dreamland
Chapter 116 Dreamland
When he saw the original owner, Ning Xingluo almost didn't recognize him.
She still remembered the first time the original owner came to her in her dream, she was wearing the clothes she was wearing when she died. Her face was thin and pale, and she looked eerie and scary. She didn't dare to look at her for any longer.
But this time, she wore a flowing wide robe with big sleeves, a hairstyle that matched it, and exquisite makeup. She looked elegant and graceful, with the style of the prosperous Tang Dynasty.
"Hey, why are you here?"
The original owner blinked: "I always feel that you are very eager to see me, what's the matter?"
Ning Xingluo immediately thought of the question that concerned him the most, and asked anxiously: "You look much better now, could it be that your wish has been fulfilled?"
"What are you thinking about? You're still far away!"
"What I want is to be famous! You know what famous is? It means to be a household name, with a very high national popularity. And it can't be a black celebrity, at least like Actor Chu."
Ning Xingluo was shocked: "Why are your requirements so high?"
"Do you think it's easy to send your body here so many years in advance?"
The original owner rolled her eyes at her. It wasn't Ning Xingluo's illusion. Compared to the resentful look she had when they met last time, she was now much more lively.
"Wait, what do you mean by sending my body here? Years in advance?"
"Well, I was in such a hurry before that I didn't explain many things to you clearly."
This time, there was plenty of time, and the original owner finally explained to Ning Xingluo what was going on between her and Ning Xingluo.
First of all, Ning Xingluo always thought that he was possessed by his soul, and that his consciousness had entered the original owner's body.
But that's not actually the case. In fact, this body is her own, it's her original one, just moved forward many years.
It's like she's five years younger.
Ning Xingluo thought that she didn't have any scars on her body.
The only identifiable birthmark is on the scalp at the back of the head, where the hair is thickest. It is very faint and cannot be found unless you look very carefully.
"That's not right, but I was never this thin before, and I don't gain weight no matter what I eat, and I have such a good figure."
"I don't know. I'm not the type that can eat anything without gaining weight!"
Ning Xingluo thought about it and decided that it could only be like this. Her ability to eat whatever she wanted without gaining weight was simply an illusion. She had never been fat before, but her bad living habits had made her carry a little more flesh than she does now.
"Anyway, you are already dead in your own world. I have withdrawn a large amount of energy from the unknown person who helped me and transported your intact body and soul here."
"I just paid back the energy I advanced not long ago. Before that, I couldn't even bear to change my clothes! But I'm not free yet. The most important thing is that I need you to complete the mission."
"Ah, but you don't have to be too stressed. There's no time limit for this mission. Just complete it before you die. I can wait."
Ning Xingluo breathed a sigh of relief and asked again: "Then, can I still return to my own world?"
"Of course not. In that world you are a dead person. Now this is your world."
This answer was pretty much what Ning Xingluo had expected.
Anyway, she didn't have anything to let go of in her old world, but in this world...
The original owner lifted her skirt and said impatiently: "Okay, do you have any other questions?"
It seems that she is not only more lively now, but her temper has also become worse.
Ning Xingluo came back to his senses, thought for a moment and asked again: "Where have you been during this time?"
The original owner replied as a matter of course: "Don't you know that I am dead and my body is no longer usable? Otherwise, I wouldn't have gone to so much trouble to get your body.
But my situation is rather special. The death of my body has freed me from my constraints. Now I have another job in a place you can’t reach…”
Having said this, the original owner's face suddenly changed and he covered his mouth.
After a pause, she continued, "I can't say more about this part, and don't ask."
"Okay, last question, what's the story behind that novel I saw?"
Unexpectedly, the original owner looked at her in confusion: "Novel? What novel?"
"You don't know?!" Ning Xingluo was shocked. This was something she had never expected. She immediately told him everything about the novel she had read and her relationship with the original owner.
The original owner touched his chin, thinking: "I really don't know what novel you are talking about. Maybe this is to help you adapt to this world as quickly as possible. It's okay, it's not important."
She waved her hand and said, "Okay, if there's no other question, I'll leave. Staying in a dream consumes energy."
"Wait wait wait there's one more thing!"
Ning Xingluo suddenly thought of Qi Ke and asked quickly.
"Qi Ke? I've never heard of him. I don't know him."
The original owner was completely unfamiliar with this name.
"He said he has liked you for three years."
"Like me? Is he rich?"
Ning Xingluo was confused by her question: "Well... your family should be quite rich."
"Tsk, if you really like me, why don't you give me some resources to support me? Man, huh!"
"Uh..." Damn, why does it feel like what the original owner said makes sense?
"Okay, okay, I really have to go. See you again if we're lucky!" After saying that, Ning Xingluo's connection with the original owner suddenly broke off, and he fell asleep again.
Until the next day, she woke up early but didn't feel sleepy at all and was full of energy.
As soon as she got up, the first thing she did was to grab Haohao, the first person she met when she went out, and ask him to see if there was a birthmark on her scalp.
"Well, let me see, eh, it really is there!"
Ning Xingluo turned back in surprise: "Did you see it clearly?"
Haohao nodded vigorously: "I can see it clearly, it's purple."
This is really her own body! Then she doesn't have to be restricted in doing anything.
Although there were still mysteries to be solved, Ning Xingluo had to admit that she was much more relaxed now.
Even the difficult goal of becoming famous no longer seemed that difficult to her.
————————————————————————
During the night conversation when they confessed their love, Pei Yuhan said that he hoped to give him a chance to pursue Ning Xingluo in an open and aboveboard manner.
At that time, Ning Xingluo only paid attention to the pursuit and did not pay much attention to the word "open and aboveboard".
However, Pei Yuhan has always been a man of his words, and Ning Xingluo soon found out how aboveboard Pei Yuhan's so-called aboveboard was.
From that day on, Ning Xingluo found that Pei Yuhan appeared in front of her more frequently.
Every day when he returned home, Pei Yuhan would bring gifts for Ning Xingluo.
None of them were particularly valuable—only to Pei Yuhan—but they were all filled with thoughtfulness.
Sometimes it was a bunch of hydrangeas from the garden, picked and packaged by Pei Yuhan himself, in Ning Xingluo’s favorite blue-purple color.
Sometimes a customized wrist rest can make Ning Xingluo more comfortable when playing games.
Sometimes it is the latest keyboard from a well-known peripheral brand that has not yet been sold to the public.
...In short, they were all small things, but they all touched Ning Xingluo's heart.
But sometimes there are accidents.
