Chapter 472
However, as soon as they entered, they were greeted by a series of bangs and fireworks filling the sky.
Charlotte, seeing the newcomers, was the first to clap, and like someone coaxing a child, she happily praised them:
"Xiao Qing is amazing! You actually managed to walk home by yourself! That's incredible!"
Chu Wangshu was extremely excited, her lovely face showing utmost seriousness, without a trace of mischief. She even sniffled with emotion, and happily said:
"Dad, you're amazing! Keep up the good work, and we won't have to worry about you getting lost anymore."
Xie Qingxuan took the small freezer from Chu Yuanqing's hand. She brought the tip of her nose close to the other's fair neck, sniffed it, and looked at the shimmering water in his beautiful eyes. Her usually aloof face revealed happiness and joy.
The girl hugged him tightly like a big puppy, their bodies softly bumping against each other. Her platinum blonde hair swayed, brushing against Chu Yuanqing's cheek, while her pink lips breathed out near his ear, earnestly praising him:
"Xiao Qing, you've really worked hard."
"Let's keep trying, and once we're sure we won't forget other people's names, we can have the baby."
Seeing this, Tang Liuli didn't even get jealous or angry. She covered her mouth, her eyes brimming with tears, and looked at the dejected Qing Bao, saying with tears of joy:
"Waaaaah, that's great, Xiao Qing! From now on, you won't have to talk to the same NPC for an hour over and over again when playing console games, you won't have to add the same seasonings over and over again when cooking, and you won't have to read the same crazy comments from fans seven or eight times during your live streams."
Kiriwake Yayoi closed the notebook on her lap, looking tenderly at Qing Bao, who was being held by Xie Qingxuan, with the eyes of someone looking at a baby. While typing at an alarming speed, she posted a Weibo message: "Qing Bao's condition is good today, and she's even cuter than yesterday. I want to kiss her!" She walked over and used her habitual [Heart Forging] to stabilize the function of his brown sunglasses.
These brown sunglasses have a wide range of functions. On the one hand, they can directly connect to Super AI Dream Weaver to provide precise GPS positioning with no blind spots around the world, and many other intelligent auxiliary systems such as electronic payment, real-time navigation, electromagnetic pulse... and even a series of intelligent assistance systems.
On the other hand, it can also be linked to everyone's mobile app so that everyone can secretly observe whether Chu Yuanqing has gotten lost, been abducted, been deceived, or been bullied.
Of course, the most crucial aspect is the added functionality of [Heart Forging].
--Used to bind the scattered fragments of unconscious [nothingness].
It has been three months since the return of the Pure White Witch.
Chu Wangshu's plan was indeed a great success. Apart from losing the [Supreme Proof] and finding it extremely difficult to reclaim the only one in the heavens, she didn't pay much of a price and was still alive and kicking. It was a win-win situation.
However, many twists and turns occurred along the way.
For example, in the month that the initial plan was completed, due to the backlash of [nothingness], a certain Little Cotton-padded Jacket could only barely protect her own world from being destroyed, but could not protect each other's memories, and most of the history about Chu Yuanqing was still erased.
A month later, a cluster of pure white roses, anchored by the laws on its body, landed at its coordinates. Like a shooting star streaking across countless tributaries of truth, it returned to its homeland, reviving all traces of itself.
What followed was a chaotic and noisy scene.
Finally, the group found Chu Yuanqing, who had regained his human form, with white hair and golden eyes, in a snowy area of the Kunlun Mountains.
At that time, because the other party was being watched by [nothingness] and even had some of their powers diverted, their sense of self-existence was extremely weak. Their mind was empty, and they had completely forgotten everyone else. They seemed a bit dull and could only sit in place, acting as a beautiful and vivid puppet.
Fortunately, it seems that after being nurtured by the [Void] source, her tolerance for [Void] has become extremely high. After a few weeks, with the help of the initially stable [Shining] principle, she has set an anchor point and gradually traces back to herself.
Until more than a month ago,
Chu Yuanqing's memory has almost fully recovered, but like Alzheimer's, she will suddenly forget the previous moment, or the past few days, or even a large amount of past memories. She is in an unstable state, and may even overflow with sporadic [Void] power. If she is not careful, she can turn the stars into bubbles, which is very scary.
Therefore, while she was conscious, she actively cooperated with Kiriwake Yayoi, using the [Shining] magic, [Heart Forging], the magic of everyone, and the blessing of the stars to create this pair of sealing glasses that could prevent accidents.
The abstract image of several people inside the house seemingly cheering for a baby also comes from this.
Chu Yuanqing sighed as he recalled everything that had happened in the past few months.
A week ago, she had completely stabilized and would no longer experience sudden amnesia, and she shared this good news with everyone at the time.
However, it seemed that the group was suffering from PTSD, and they continued to encourage and cheer her on with extreme affection, just like today. This was really too much for a mature adult. Several times she almost got angry and embarrassed, but because of their genuine concern, she could only keep it to herself.
Chu Yuanqing struggled to pull herself away from the alluring fullness of the woman's figure. She adjusted her sunglasses, looked into those pure eyes, reached out and touched the other woman's platinum blonde hair, and couldn't help but explain again:
"I won't talk about the baby first, but Xiao Xuan, I'm no longer suffering from amnesia."
Xie Qingxuan's eyes showed pity. She hugged the soft, Pure White Witch again, stubbornly rubbing her face against hers like a small animal recognizing its scent, reluctantly sticking together, and said:
"Yes, I believe Xiao Qing."
Chu Wangshu looked at her Dad and complained:
"Dad, you said the same thing last time, and then not long after, you quietly turned to me and asked if Sister Xie was my senior from school, because she looked strangely familiar."
Charlotte crossed her arms, looking indignant, and condemned:
"That's right, that's right. Only a bad woman would make such an irresponsible promise."
Tang Liuli watched Charlotte's performance, seemingly finding it amusing. She blinked her emerald eyes, deliberately feigning a pitiful appearance, and cautiously tugged at Chu Yuanqing's sleeve. With her head drooping in excellent acting, she uttered her sinister statement at lightning speed:
"It's alright. Even if Xiao Qing forgets me, I'll still shamelessly keep trying to make my presence known to Xiao Qing until you instinctively get tired of me and kick me out. Only then will I go to some dark corner to be exposed to the wind and rain, slowly rotting and stinking. I will never cause Xiao Qing any trouble."
Chu Yuanqing was extremely embarrassed and angry. She felt like she had become some kind of evil woman, and all she wanted to do was obey them. She simply poked the Liuli Cat Cat's face hard with her fingertip, and then looked at Charlotte, who had quietly moved away and was smiling, and condemned her with her eyes.
Kiriwake Yayoi readily handed the Green Eyed Cat a tissue. Watching the cat feign tears, her eyes crinkling beneath the tissue, she couldn't help but laugh. She then clapped her hands and said:
"Alright, everyone, stop joking. Xiao Qing hasn't shown any fluctuations in her powers today, so she really won't lose her memory easily."
Chu Wangshu's eyes sparkled, and she said expectantly:
"That's great! The fireworks today were worth it. We definitely need to celebrate properly later."
Upon hearing this, Charlotte flicked her skirt with her fingertips, and her light, flowing dress was reconstructed in the light, transforming into an adorable cook's attire. She blinked her frosty blue eyelashes, her eyes filled with laughter as she looked at everyone and said:
"Let's all go to the supermarket to buy groceries later, then come back and cook for Xiao Qing together, and see whose cooking she likes best."
As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the room completely changed.
Xie Qingxuan's pupils flashed with a dark cross, displaying an invincible aura.
Kiriwake Yayoi began to ponder whether she could use [Heart Forging] to create the legendary kitchen utensils. Even the Green Eyed Cat, who usually liked to slack off and be lazy in this area, was filled with fighting spirit at this moment.
Chu Wangshu tilted her head, feeling a strange sense of familiarity.
Has this happened several times while I was traveling in Austria?
Besides, it's true that Liuli and Yayoi can cook, but Sister Xie can't at all, right? Is she going to aggressively cook hot pot?
Chu Yuanqing didn't want to get involved in the scoring process of "balancing the waters" (a Chinese idiom referring to the act of impartiality and fairness). She raised her little hand, trying to stop the trend of comparison started by Charlotte, but before she could say anything, she was silenced by several Little Idol who had anticipated her moves.
There's no way around it; everyone here knows each other's cooking skills. If Qing Bao were to participate, wouldn't it make everyone look like they have very low feminine qualities? That would be too embarrassing, absolutely not.
So, the Pure White Witch, who had just returned home, didn't sit for long before leaving the neighborhood with everyone else. A Green Eyed Cat who had recently passed its domestic driving test drove them to a large shopping mall.
These daily processes are conducted in a harmonious and relaxed atmosphere.
They bickered and joked around, like students thoroughly enjoying their holiday, without any worries.
In fact, after finding the Pure White Witch in the snow, all of Pure White's business was unconditionally suspended and indefinitely postponed. Even their recent new song was an impromptu creation by everyone in a good mood because Chu Yuanqing was in better and better condition.
During these three months, Kiriwake Yayoi, Tang Liuli, Xie Qingxuan, Charlotte, Chu Wangshu, and Chu Yuanqing himself all lived in the old neighborhood where the father and daughter had lived for more than ten years.
However, due to the number of people, they bought a nearby building for ten times the price and had Charlotte use spatial magic to expand one of the apartments for everyone to live in.
The external reaction to this was actually not very significant.
Or rather, the news of Chu Yuanqing's return filled most people's thoughts, attracting the attention and condolences of tens or hundreds of billions of people. So much so that when Pure White announced that they would take good care of him and temporarily suspend all activities and work, even the official media spoke out in support, and the whole internet could only express their understanding.
Meanwhile, based on this, although Pure White did not travel or hold any concerts in the past three months, and only recently released a song, they actually produced a lot of big news that made the Solo Fan gasp for breath and made the CP fans ecstatic, shocked and overwhelmed.
The "criminal" who first opened Pandora's box was undoubtedly the Golden Haired Doggy had no qualms about it, was incredibly honest, and only knew how to be straightforward.
After Chu Yuanqing returned, Xie Qingxuan started posting on Weibo like a diary.
On the first day, she posted a picture of the tulip Wedding Ring that he had given her. Not only was she wearing it on her ring finger in the photo, but the caption was also outrageous. "I really like the ring Xiao Qing gave me. I want to marry her." This caused a huge uproar among her fans, and her Weibo exploded that very night.
The next day, as soon as the website was fixed, she retweeted a Weibo, which was the advertisement for wedding dresses that Chu Yuanqing and Kiriwake Yayoi had endorsed together, and added that she also wanted to wear one with Chu Yuanqing.
Xie Qingxuan actually did this a year ago during the "Flash Dance" era, but at the time it only made a small group of CP fans feel that it was very appealing and allowed them to imagine many strange scenes. It was the type that could be interpreted as something else by other fans.
But now...
All fans can say is: Xuan Bao, please don't love him too much!
Then, less than three days later, Xie Qingxuan directly answered a fan's question on Weibo, bluntly stating that her affection was not that of a friend, but that of a lover, which made all the Solo Fan fans unable to hold back.
Meanwhile, it wasn't just Xie Qingxuan's fans who couldn't hold back, but also those who shipped Charlotte x Chu Yuanqing, and even the CP fans of "Qing Ci Li Qu" and "Wu Zhong Jian Qing". They were directly attacked by this table-flipping move.
"Qing Cheng Qing Guo" stood up proudly and began to put on a show of taking on three opponents at once.
Well, all I can say here is that if [Void] hadn't erased the traces again, causing the Worldline where Chu Yuanqing existed to be overwritten, the process of a certain Little Cotton-padded Jacket helping her reveal her identity would have been completely blurred, making it impossible for the entire internet to know that Charlotte and Chu Yuanqing's daughter is Chu Wangshu.
Otherwise, the internet would be a million times more lively right now, and netizens would probably have imagined something even more exciting than the Legend of Zhen Huan.
And what happened after that goes without saying.
Charlotte is, to some extent, a fun-loving person. After finding it amusing, she also posted a picture of her Wedding Ring, along with a caption that was very much in her style—straightforward, but full of girlish charm, playful and cute.
Tang Liuli was initially conflicted after seeing that both of them had sent messages.
However, this cat's bad habit of lurking in her own and Chu Yuanqing's CP (couple) groups soon led her to see the idioms of Zhu Bajie (a character from Journey to the West) in various CP fan groups.
In short, the entire text contained phrases like "Qing Ci Li Qu's fate is sealed," "We simply can't compete with them," "Little Liuli, how laughable!" and "It's not too late to surrender now," which instantly infuriated her.
In a moment of impulsiveness, she transformed into a self-destructive cat, exploding in the online community with her fans. She posted photos of her Wedding Ring, made an official announcement, and even stole a kiss from the innocent, naive "Pure White Witch" who hadn't fully recovered her memory. She then openly declared that she had won by a large margin.
This series of smooth, seemingly abstract maneuvers completely baffled the fans who ship "Qing Ci Li Qu".
No, even a pathetic cat like that can attack first?
Wouldn't surrendering make us seem even less useful than Liuli? That's the only thing we absolutely cannot do!
Therefore, in order to defend their dignity, the fans of "Qing Ci Li Qu" set off in a grand manner.
After that, when Kiriwake Yayoi saw her home being raided repeatedly, she finally couldn't sit still anymore. She first took leave and went back to Hokkaido. Kneeling on the tatami, she mustered up her courage, endured the shame and guilt, and directly told her parents and Yuki about her sexual orientation, told them who she liked, and won her family's consent.
Finally, they simply used a technique to extract fragments from the memory, filmed them, and officially announced them to the public in a more abstract way.
The family's incredible move of coming out and seeking their consent drove fans who shipped them "Wu Zhong Jian Qing" into a frenzy.
At the same time, it drove Chu Yuanqing's fans crazy.
No way, damn it, is their Qing Bao Pure White Witch or a pure white Pure White Succubus? How many people are there in the Pure White faction? And it turns out that everyone except Little Moons has designs on her?
The most ridiculous thing is that when fans learned that Chu Yuanqing was suffering from amnesia, their mindset changed directly from "a beloved daughter being taken care of by a group of trustworthy friends" to "a silly daughter living and eating with a group of women who are eyeing her covetously".
By this time, those who had seen the Sea Tiger series were already imagining Himeko IV, while those who hadn't seen it were already projecting various plots from the blonde-haired anime.
Therefore, this controversy has not yet subsided.
But as time went on, and Chu Yuanqing regained some of her memories, held a few live streams, and posted a few Weibo and videos,
The focus of online CP fans has shifted from which couple is real to "My favorite idol must have been on top when he was with Qing Bao and Zuo Ai", "The champion of the Pure White internal music party must be the Great Demon King", "Qing Bao's choice of which partner today was definitely not embarrassing"...
In short, it was extremely abstract, so abstract that Chu Yuanqing dared not go online normally.
That night, after finishing everyone's meal, Chu Yuanqing, who had diligently served water, first washed the dishes and chatted with Charlotte, then played a guitar duet with Kiriwake Yayoi. Afterwards, he snuggled up on the sofa with Tang Liuli and Xie Qingxuan, started a live stream, and took turns playing the latest game with the controller.
Charlotte and Chu Wangshu, mother and daughter, sat to one side and whispered to each other.
Kiriwake Yayoi nestled to the left of the Green Eyed Cat, flipping through the book in her hands, occasionally glancing curiously at the various comments in the Live Broadcast Room.
The night outside the balcony is enchanting, the cicadas' chirping is slightly softer than during the day, and the stars and moonlight spill onto the green ivy in the corner. The time that flows by slowly and evenly is so unique, like a fleeting color in youth, with an irreplaceable beauty.
Chu Yuanqing glanced at everyone around her, her expression somewhat dazed. This was an ending that didn't even exist in her dreams, but Xiao Shu and everyone's love for her made everything feel gentle.
Very nice.
Chu Yuanqing savored this happiness, a satisfied smile appearing on her face. Lost in thought for a long time, she looked at everyone as if possessed and softly asked:
"Let's find some time to get married?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop, and even the comments section froze for a moment.
The brief silence was broken only by the Little Idol's varied reactions and the frantic barrage of comments from fans in the Live Broadcast Room, which drowned out the summer cicadas' chirping.
A snap.
Charlotte's camera froze the fleeting moment. She hugged the adorable Little Cotton-padded Jacket beside her, seemingly drawing a period to the grand finale. Her eyes shone brightly as she looked at everyone, a happy smile on her face, and she whispered:
"In that case, let's have the most amazing wedding together!"
