I Accepted It.
"It seems you fully understand my thoughts."
Ruan Mei said, "If you have any questions in the future, you can come to me directly."
This kind of communication is still more convenient.
Communicating with mind-reading enabled eliminates the need to guess whether there are hidden meanings in the words, making it very efficient.
Kiana forced a smile.
She was still somewhat dazed.
This is a good thing for her, a really good thing, she should be overjoyed.
But Ruan Mei's words were so surprising that she was too shocked to think of anything else.
She had known before that Ruan Mei's thoughts were different from those of normal people in many ways, but she hadn't really felt it.
But now we have it.
"Get some rest. Don't forget you're leaving for Jarilo tomorrow."
"Oh..."
Kiana managed to calm herself down, recovering from her shock. Thinking about tomorrow, she pulled herself out of this situation.
Stop thinking about it.
ARuan doesn't mind, why should you?
Forcing herself to regain her composure from the overwhelming shock, she smiled and said, "Then I won't bother you any longer, ARuan. You should get some rest too."
Ruan Mei's words reminded her.
Since her thoughts are already so chaotic, why not go back and get some sleep? She definitely won't feel so disoriented after a good night's rest.
So much happened today.
She needs to go back to sleep and clear her head.
Kiana remained still as she spoke, because Ruan Mei hadn't let go of her hand. She assumed Ruan Mei had something else to say, so she obediently waited for Ruan Mei to continue.
But the wait lasted two minutes.
"ARuan? Is there anything else you want to say to me?"
Feeling a little guilty under her gaze, Kiana couldn't take it anymore and asked.
You don't need to leave.
"Ah?"
Kiana's eyes widened, the shock she had just suppressed resurfacing once more.
Something doesn't seem right.
Just like before.
Ruan Mei offered her an explanation.
No need to leave, just like before?
"We've been apart for so long, don't you want to sleep with me?"
That's perfectly normal.
But after the change in identity, these words that seemed normal in the past have taken on a flavor that they didn't have before.
Even though she knew Ruan Mei meant it the way she did before, Kiana still subconsciously misinterpreted it and felt a little embarrassed.
Really.
Because Mei was right beside her, she had to be careful to keep her distance and didn't act too close to Ruan Mei on the way back.
They hadn't been in contact for a long time since they parted ways at the Herta Space Station.
Sensing Kiana's thoughts, Ruan Mei was only slightly taken aback, but then continued to look at her without changing her expression.
Should we refuse?
After all, Mei was still waiting for her there.
She brought Mei here; this place is unfamiliar to Mei, and she should stay with Mei.
But ARuan took the initiative to invite me!
Moreover, ARuan made concessions and didn't seem to care about her relationship with Mei...
Ruan Mei didn't urge her, but simply sensed her conflicted thoughts, showing no awareness of being one of the parties involved.
"Could you wait a moment?"
Kiana quickly made a decision, saying, "Mei is still waiting for me; I'll go tell her."
Go ahead.
Ruan Mei released her hand, nodded gently, and said, "I'll wait for you."
Kiana breathed a sigh of relief and assured her, "Wait for me, I'll be right back."
Ruan Mei watched her leave in a hurry, then gently touched the hand that had just gripped Kiana's wrist; the sensation still lingered in her palm.
"He's a bit indecisive."
She's made it very clear: in the future, it's best to keep Kiana out of the picture when it comes to making choices.
Then another thing came to mind.
Ruan Mei looked up at the wall to one side, her gaze seemingly piercing through numerous obstacles to see Raiden Mei in Kiana's room.
"Raiden Mei?"
Well, she had to admit that after Kiana said, "Even if she likes Mei?", her feelings towards that person changed.
These were thoughts and emotions she had never experienced before; it was a very novel experience.
I imagine this feeling will continue in the future?
Ruan Mei shook her head, no longer pondering the matter.
There's no need to think about this; let's wait until the time comes.
Kiana felt lightheaded on her way back, coming with a heavy heart and returning in a daze.
She only came to her senses when she reached the door and it opened automatically upon sensing her vital signs.
The Yomi have not yet rested.
She was sitting there looking at Kiana's diary, which Kiana had shared with her when she talked about her hiatus.
Before Kiana regained her Remembrance, she had a habit of writing in a diary because she was still losing Remembrance.
"I'm back."
Yomi looked up, and when he saw her, a slight smile appeared on his lips. He lowered his hand and said gently, "Welcome back."
"How did your conversation with Ruan Mei go?"
She guessed that Ruan Mei wanted Kiana to come see her at this time because they probably wanted to talk about those things.
"ARuan said she didn't care."
This result was clearly not within Yomi's considerations, yet it came out of Kiana's mouth.
The smile on Yomi's face gradually disappeared.
She doesn't care?
110
Chapter 110 I accepted.
Don't care?
Is it the indifference she's thinking of?
Ruan Mei, that genius?
The smile on Yomi's face vanished completely, replaced by silence, confusion, and bewilderment.
She didn't believe Kiana would lie to her about something like this, especially since they would be traveling together later—a fact that was easy to expose.
Indifferent? Unconcerned? Or overly concerned?
Huang Yomi considered several possible answers that Ruan Mei might give, but none of them pleased him.
How could she accept it so easily, so readily, without even thinking of stopping it?
"Um... Mei?"
Yomi remained silent, her eyes fixed on Kiana, her forced pretense crumbling to reveal her truest reaction.
Every step of the story unfolded unexpectedly. Was she too oblivious to the influence of nihilism, or was Ruan Mei simply not a normal person?
No normal person would say that.
"Did she really say that?"
Mei, as expected, couldn't accept it.
Kiana thought to herself, "As expected." She hadn't been blinded by Yomi's previous attitude and knew that getting Yomi to agree might be even more difficult than getting Ruan Mei to agree.
This is normal.
So Kiana only said she wasn't making a choice.
I dare not say anything more.
She had previously felt helpless on both sides, so she simply stopped thinking about the issue and considered maintaining the status quo a victory.
But now ARuan has agreed.
She saw hope.
She's already won half the battle; now the only problem facing her is Mei.
"ARuan said she doesn't care that I like Mei, all she cares about is that I won't leave her."
Ruan Mei, that woman...
Yomi lowered her eyes, concealing the emotions within them. She saw through everything, yet showed no intention of trying to do anything about it.
They actually compromised just like that.
I don't care... I don't care...
What kind of answer is that? What kind of attitude is that? This woman is even more nihilistic than her.
"So... I'm sorry, Mei, I... I can't give up on ARuan, and I can't give up on you. It sounds selfish to say this, but..."
"You don't need to say anything, I understand."
Kiana tensed up, looking at Yomi with a nervous expression, and asked, "What's Mei's answer?"
I said I wouldn't accept it.
Knowing this would be the answer, Kiana wasn't discouraged; she hadn't expected to gain Yomi's approval so easily.
This is inherently a long process.
"What will you do?"
"I'll pester Mei until Mei agrees!"
"But you originally belonged only to me, and now you want me to be with someone else..."
Yomi stood up and walked up to her, looking down at Kiana with an unreadable expression in his eyes. "How do you expect me to accept this?"
Kiana promptly bowed her head and apologized.
"I'm sorry... I'm so sorry, I'm the one who's wronged you. You can hit me or yell at me, it's all okay, as long as you're not angry, Mei, you can do whatever you want to me!"
This is not the answer Yomi wants.
Her face was grim, and she said in a deep voice, "You know how I feel about you. There's no way I could do anything to hurt you."
"Sorry..."
