Seemingly True, Seemingly False

"Hmm... where... am I?"

Elysia opened her eyes and found herself standing in Fire Moth base.

She looked around in confusion, wondering why she was there. She remembered that she should have gone on a mission with Feng and Ying, and they should be on their way to their destination.

She looked around as she walked alone down the quiet corridor. Suddenly, she heard footsteps in the distance, and then a tall, silver-haired figure came into her view.

"That's... Maple?" Elysia's pupils contracted.

Of course, she wouldn't forget that after Zhu Yufeng merged with all the Fallen Angel, his hair and eyes turned silver.

She would never forget that during this period, Zhu Yufeng... was averse to meeting her.

According to him, it was because he didn't know how to face her.

Elysia touched her ears; they were pointed, like those of an elf.

What is she doing...?

No matter what, even if she went back to that time, she would definitely want to touch him again.

Elysia raised her hand to greet Zhu Yufeng, only to find that he didn't even notice her.

Zhu Yufeng was holding an exquisitely crafted long dress. Elysia was certain she had never seen this dress before, but it was undeniably adorable...

So, what is Feng going to do with this dress? It's definitely not for her...

Their bodies intertwined, Elysia was shocked to find that the other person had passed right through her. Elysia paused for a moment, then caught up with Zhu Yufeng, trying to pat his shoulder, but it was as if she was patting thin air.

What's going on?

Elysia was briefly confused, but she quickly came to her senses. She didn't know what was going on, but following Feng was definitely the right thing to do.

She had just caught up with Zhu Yufeng when the scenery around her changed.

She returned to her room.

Elysia slowly typed out a question mark. Where was she? What was going on? Or was she dreaming? Was this dream so vivid?

She pinched her cheek and felt pain... So this wasn't a dream?

That being said, although she recognized it as her room at a glance, it wasn't her current room. To be precise, this was the room she would have in the future.

She looked around and then found a beautifully wrapped gift box on the bedside table, which she picked up.

She remembered that this was the last gift she gave to Zhu Yufeng, and the only gift he ever returned.

She gets angry just thinking about it. Returning the gift was bad enough, but it was Kevin did it; then, the invitation was also returned by Kevin. She...

There was nothing she could do; she only realized her feelings when it was too late to salvage the situation.

So, back when Zhu Yufeng returned from the European branch, that's when he started drifting further and further away from her, right? He, on the other hand, was getting closer and closer to Kevin...

Elysia put down the gift box, then looked around at the arrangement of her room. She smiled self-deprecatingly. The gifts Eden gave her were placed in the most conspicuous places, while the gift Maple gave her was placed closest to her bed.

It was already in my subconscious...

Suddenly, she looked at the calendar on her desk and noticed that the date on the calendar was her birthday.

She remembered that on this day, from sunrise until the clock announced the end of the day, she had been waiting for a gift from the person she was not yet aware of her feelings for.

"Could that dress actually be..." Elysia covered her mouth, "But, I clearly didn't see Feng at all that day..."

"Wait, Elysia, think about it again. Maple told you that he never hated you, he just didn't know how to face you." Elysia muttered to herself, then looked at the door to her room.

Could it be... that Feng is right outside the door?

Anyway, we don't know exactly what the situation is now. The only thing that leads to other places is that door.

Thinking this, Elysia walked to the door and opened it.

What came into view was a silver-haired young man with a surprised expression.

"Feng?" she said, uttering the young man's name.

Zhu Yufeng looked down at Elysia, and the two only stared at each other for a brief moment before Zhu Yufeng looked away, placed the long dress in her hands, and turned to leave.

"Wait a minute, Feng!" Elysia called out, reaching out to grab Zhu Yufeng, but in that instant, his figure seemed to be infinitely far away from her.

"Maple!"

Elysia woke up with a start, and a familiar voice came from above her head. "Elysia? Did you have a nightmare?"

She then realized that she was leaning on Zhu Yufeng's shoulder, with Ying sitting opposite her looking at her in confusion, and the other people on the train also looking in their direction.

"I'm sorry, I had a nightmare..." Elysia apologized to those around her.

Upon hearing that it was a nightmare, the others didn't ask any more questions and went about their own business.

"Elysia, in your nightmare... I didn't do anything, did I?" Zhu Yufeng's expression was a little strange. Otherwise, why would Elysia call his name?

"Hmph, I dreamt that you abandoned me and left me all alone," Elysia said angrily. "You have to make it up to me!"

Zhu Yufeng: "..."

What does what he did in the dream have to do with him?

Sakura said speechlessly, "Elysia, the development of your dream world actually stems from your own inner thoughts, right? Besides, you fell asleep leaning against Maple not long after you got on the train. We're almost there, and Maple has been so afraid of waking you up the whole way."

"Wow, Zhu Yufeng, you're still so considerate!" Elysia said teasingly, looking at Zhu Yufeng. "I thought you'd only add fuel to the fire."

"So what exactly was that nightmare?" Zhu Yufeng was only concerned with her initial question, "What did I do?"

How could he possibly abandon Elysia and leave her alone? It's simply impossible, isn't it?

"Hmm... didn't I already say that? Or do you think I'm lying? And isn't that something you could totally do?" Elysia said, squinting at Zhu Yufeng.

Zhu Yufeng: "???"

How could this be? He's completely capable of doing something like this? Abandoning Elysia and leaving her alone? Putting aside why he would do such a thing, given his current relationship with Elysia, how could he possibly do something like this?

"I dreamt about you from the past," Elysia sighed. "Do you still think it's impossible?"

Zhu Yufeng: "... What you dreamed about was me after the Tragedy of Binding?"

"Aren't you quite self-aware?" Elysia continued to lean her head on Zhu Yufeng's shoulder. "I'm punishing you by not letting you move. Let me lean on you for a little while longer before we get to the station."

Zhu Yufeng looked at Ying with a blank expression, and Ying could only give him a helpless look; she couldn't help Zhu Yufeng either.

Looking at him like this... she suddenly wanted to lean on Feng's shoulder too... cough cough, no, better not to look...

Sakura chose to look out the car window.

Zhu Yufeng sighed softly and looked at Elysia, saying, "At least, it's impossible for me to leave you behind now."

"Is that a deal?"

"... It's a deal."

Elysia's little finger secretly hooked onto Zhu Yufeng's little finger.

"You can't lie to me, okay..."

Cherry. "..."

Elysia, that's enough! I've already tried my best not to look this way, are you still trying to test my nerves?
