"Kakakaka!!"
In an instant, everything Yan Huan visible to the naked eye was being destroyed, and along with the Barrier collapse process came the suction force spreading from the depths of the Barrier vortex.
No matter it was Yan Huan, the inferior Sakuramiya behind him or the perfect Sakuramiya in front of him, they could not resist the force of falling towards the deep darkness ahead.
"Woo!!"
Behind him, the sobs of inferior Sakuramiya came, causing Yan Huan's eyes to shrink as his vision gradually darkened, and he subconsciously wanted to turn around and hold the other person.
But when I looked back, I found that there was strangely nothing.
"."
Yan Huan narrowed his eyes and looked back, but he saw nothing but darkness.
And soon, everything around seemed to turn into distorted nothingness, and even the sounds completely disappeared, leaving only the tinnitus in Yan Huan's head.
It wasn't until he heard the harsh tinnitus that Yan Huan realized:
What gradually darkened was not the surrounding space, but his field of vision.
And it is not only Barrier that is being distorted and disintegrated, but also his consciousness.
He squinted his eyes with heavy eyelids, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't open them again. He could only let the twisted Barrier drag his consciousness down, and he didn't know where to go.
"Kakakaka!!"
Yan Huan seems to have had a dream.
He dreamed that he appeared in a Japanese-style ancient building that was somewhat familiar to him.
He dreamed that he saw a little girl, whom he was a little excited about and thought was very cute, being dragged by an old man in a kimono to an open wardrobe in a room.
"You can't even remember these Chinese characters, you idiot! Get out of here and reflect on yourself!!"
He heard the old man punishing the little girl like this.
The little girl pursed her lips and glanced at the small wardrobe in front of her with some fear, but she still did not dare to disobey the order of the old man beside her. She stretched out her small hands tremblingly to hold the wooden board of the wardrobe and climbed up.
"Kakakaka!!"
As soon as she entered, the sliding closet door behind her slammed shut, turning the closet into a dark, narrow, and stuffy prison.
For some reason, even though the door was closed, Yan Huan could directly penetrate the cover and see the little girl inside.
He saw that as everything fell into darkness, the little girl showed a frightened expression and began to hammer on the cabinet door and call out to the people outside.
"Bang bang bang bang"
"Grandpa, wow, it's so dark inside, wow, let me out."
But outside the door, the old man had already taken a wooden sword and stuck it between the sliding doors, so no matter how hard the girl inside pulled, the door could not be opened.
After doing all this, the old man turned and left, leaving her alone in the closet.
As he said: This is exactly the process of introspection.
"Woooooooo"
Listening to the slight crying coming from inside, Yan Huan frowned and couldn't help but want to go over there and remove the obstacle blocking the cabinet door.
But he was completely unable to move at this moment, as if his body did not exist, and only his consciousness was still awake.
He could only watch it happen.
So, he saw that the girl who was locked in the cabinet door cried for a long time, wiped her tears, thought of something, closed her eyes and kept writing something on the door with her fingers.
It turned out that she was memorizing Chinese characters that she had not memorized before.
After a while, when she finally seemed to have memorized it, she looked happy and said to the closet,
"Grandpa, I wrote down how to write the word 'year' and the word 'medicine'. I remembered you. Please open the door."
But no one came to open the door for her.
So she cried again and couldn't help knocking on the door.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.
"Bang bang."
Her body was weak, so she cried and knocked, and soon she got tired of crying, so she could only lie helplessly in the closed space, wiping her tears and continuing to sob.
Yan Huan saw that in that narrow closet, the little girl went from being desperate and sad at the beginning to gradually adapting.
She began to discover that in that closed, unknown space, she did not need to abide by the "ladylike manners" taught by her previous etiquette teacher, and did not need to be beaten or scolded by her grandfather.
She discovered that there was a gap due to old age at the joint on the back of the wardrobe, and she could see the wild scenery outside the family's house through the gap in the wall.
There, Yan Huan saw cherry blossoms all over the mountains and fields, and a long-haired white cat that seemed to be wandering around.
The white cat ran wildly in the greenery, while the girl in the closet struggled to see the beautiful kitten playing through the gap.
She looked at the kitten and heard the hoot of an owl not far away. She was so frightened that she turned her head and ran away without knowing where she was.
Then I watched the kitten run back with a bird in its mouth and enjoy its breakfast on the grass.
As the kitten played and ate, the girl in the cabinet seemed to feel that her body was stiff after being locked up for a long time, and her stomach became hungry after being hungry for a long time.
She just stared blankly and longingly at the world outside the gap until
The closet door opened, and several maids took her out of the closet with her stiff body and calm expression.
And the old man who locked her in couldn't help but feel dissatisfied when he saw the calmness on her face.
This seems to be because the punishment was not severe enough, otherwise she should have shown a more regretful and reflective expression.
He thought so.
So, every time the girl made a mistake, he would lock her in for longer and longer.
Half a day, a day, a day and a night.
Looking at the girl's consistent calmness, the old man was finally convinced that such punishment was useless to her and could only use other severe corporal punishments as his punishment.
If you don't do your homework correctly, you'll get a beating.
If you eat or walk with poor manners, you will be beaten.
If the words you use are wrong, hit me.
Even if he couldn't endure it and shed tears when thinking about his father, mother, and brothers, he would be beaten with a cane.
So, Yan Huan saw a strange scene.
The closed cage that was originally used as a punishment for the girl turned out to be the girl's safe haven, so much so that she didn't even want to sleep on the bed, but would sneak into the closet to sleep.
Only in that place where she was alone, she could not be punished and could see the white cat she loved so much.
It was only in that place that she could cry while holding the very painful scar after being beaten.
And once she left the closet, she had to put on a mask, and when none of this happened, she showed a perfect posture to avoid punishment.
The elegant lady's figure will become her invincible weapon, and her smart mind and extraordinary knowledge will become her tools to calculate others and gain benefits.
Time was so long, and the girl went back and forth between the cage and the mask day by day.
Until one day, the sound of a chainsaw came from outside the closet.
Yan Huan saw many workers coming to the greenery outside the wardrobe. They stood beside the old man holding the drawings, pointing forward and saying something like "This area needs to be expanded."
The girl also saw all this through the narrow gap in the window.
She watched blankly as the old man left and the workers started construction.
Until the cherry blossom trees fell down in the field of vision, and as dusk approached, the white long-haired cat ran back again and watched the group of uninvited guests from a distance.
The girl's originally dull eyes finally lit up a little when she saw the white kitten.
How she wished that the kitten could stay and stay here like her
But the kitten didn't do what she expected.
It just tilted its head, then turned away, planning to leave.
Yan Huan and the girl both know that the kitten will never come back.
"No, no, don't go."
As time passed, looking at the kitten that was about to leave, the girl who had been calm for a long time once again let out the same whimpering sound as when she was locked up here for the first time.
She cried and squeezed her head desperately into the narrow gap, trying to catch up with the kitten that was walking further and further away.
"Woooo!!"
But no matter what, she couldn't squeeze out of this narrow gap.
Because the real her cannot leave this cupboard.
Only the smart, elegant self who can satisfy grandpa's discipline can leave here.
"."
The moment this idea came to her, the facial features on her face melted little by little.
It seemed to have turned into a mask that should be worn on the face, squirming along the narrow gap.
"Gululu~"
The mask crawled out of the dark cabinet and finally landed in the green, free wilderness full of cherry blossoms.
Then, it grew and expanded little by little.
Until its appearance became exactly the same as the girl in the closet.
"."
The mask turned around and glanced at the girl in the closet, then smiled slightly and ran away into the distance.
She was finally able to leave.
Just like the free cat that didn't stay here.
But the girl whose facial features were detached still stayed in the closet
It seems that no matter where you go, you never leave there.
"Haha. Hahaha."
Looking at the girl who was running wantonly and showing a beautiful smile under the light of freedom, Yan Huan was slightly startled and subconsciously took steps to chase her.
Because that was the girl he fell in love with in the first place in his mind.
Just as he moved a step, Yan Huan suddenly stopped in place.
He turned around and looked at the wooden wall behind him.
On the wooden wall, due to aging, there was a faint and undetectable gap.
In the gap is a sweltering, sealed darkness.
After a moment of silence, Yan Huan suddenly squatted down and looked at the gap quietly.
He looked at the girl with no facial features who had become quiet in the gap, looking at each other across the wall.
"Sakuramiya?"
After a moment of silence, he suddenly spoke with a trembling voice.
"."
In the wall, there was endless silence coming from this impassable road.
But in the next second, the response suddenly fell into the ears of Yan Huan,
"President."
Hearing this, Yan Huan's shoulders trembled slightly.
Because that voice actually came from behind Yan Huan.
"!!"
Yan Huan turned around suddenly and saw the perfect Sakuramiya behind him holding his shoulders, showing an elegant and sweet smile, and said,
"I'm here, President~"
"Kaka."
In a dark void, countless broken rooms are suspended in mid-air, and in the depths of the void, countless dense centipedes are crawling, forming the background of this space.
All of this proves that something happened inside Barrier at this moment.
"!!"
In one of the rooms full of cracks, Yan Huan suddenly opened his eyes.
He sat up suddenly and realized that he was sitting on a large bed with neat white beds.
"President, you. You wake up!"
Beside him, a pair of rat ears trembled slightly, attracting Yan Huan's attention.
Just as he was about to turn around and look at the people around him, he felt a sharp pain in his hand.
"Hiss"
He took a breath, looked down, and saw his bandaged palm.
It's the place where I was cut by Perfect Sakuramiya before.
".President, does it still hurt?"
Yan Huan turned around and saw the worried looking rat Sakuramiya next to him.
There were only two of them in the whole room, and Perfect Sakuramiya didn't know where to go.
Anyway, the room was closed at the moment, and only the void that seemed to have countless centipedes crawling through the window could be seen, and they could realize that the room they were in at the moment seemed to be floating in some kind of collapsed space.
"Ah, I'm fine. Where are we now?"
"I don't know, President just suddenly and for no apparent reason, the whole Barrier started to collapse, and then when we woke up, we were here."
Shushu Sakuramiya pursed his lips and leaned closer to Yan Huan subconsciously.
Feeling her petite body, Yan Huan couldn't help but think of the dream just now.
Originally, when he was at Sakura Nation, he had some heart palpitations when he saw the news about the fire at Sakuramiya's house on TV.
After all, this was the first time in his life that he had committed murder and arson. It was normal to feel uneasy.
But now, he only has one thought in his mind:
It's you, you damn old bitch, that I'm going to blow up!
Yan Huan rubbed his brows, stood up in relief, looked at the surrounding environment, and said at the same time,
"I seem to know where Hitomi's real body is hidden. Now as long as I enter Barrier of perfect Sakuramiya, I am confident that I can find her."
"Ah, that's great."
Shushu Sakuramiya on the side was stunned for a moment, then stood up with his fists clenched, smiled, and followed Yan Huan to look around.
Yan Huan pinched his chin and glanced at the enclosed space around him.
I went to the window again and tried to open it, but the window seemed to be welded shut and could not move at all.
Even when Yan Huan kicked the window, there were no cracks at all, just like tempered glass.
"President. It seems that the only way out of this room is through the front door."
Yan Huan looked back at Shushu Sakuramiya who spoke weakly behind him, sighed and said,
"I don't know if it's an illusion, but I always feel that the door won't open easily."
"."
Shushu Sakuramiya didn't reply, but Yan Huan walked over and tried to open the door.
"Ka! Ka!"
Sure enough, it was locked.
As a result, just as Yan Huan showed an expression of "Sure enough," the door trembled slightly, and then, a note flew from under the door.
"."
Yan Huan's face darkened, but he still endured the malice from the sense of déjà vu and looked down.
Hey, guess what?
"You can't get out of the room without XX. That's what it says on it, President."
Behind him, Shushu Sakuramiya tugged at Yan Huan's clothes and whispered a reminder.
". I know."
Yan Huan sighed and looked back at Shushu Sakuramiya.
Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she immediately turned her head and lowered her head.
But her face was slightly red, and she secretly glanced at Yan Huan from time to time.
After realizing that Yan Huan was still looking at her, she stretched out her hand to wipe her face, pursed her lips, and looked like she was waiting for Yan Huan to speak.
"."
Looking at her appearance, Yan Huan thought again of how she mustered up the courage to hand the flower to him.
There was a slight movement in his heart, and his eyes moved away unnaturally.
"Sakuramiya, why did you suddenly think of giving me this?"
"Hey? What?"
Seeing her blushing and silly look, Yan Huan had no choice but to stretch out his finger and flick her forehead.
"Woo!"
She whimpered, covered her head and looked at Yan Huan cutely.
Yan Huan retracted his hand, took out the hydrangea hairpin from his trouser pocket and took a look at it.
While looking around, he suddenly saw a long pink hair pinned to the hairpin. He didn't notice it when Shushu Sakuramiya gave it to him.
"This is."
Yan Huan took off the long hair and glanced at Sakuramiya's hair that turned from black to pink, and couldn't help showing a puzzled expression.
"Huh?"
He looked at the long pink hair carefully, and then showed an even weirder expression.
"Is this card issued by You Anlina?"
Seeing this, Sakuramiya in front of him was immediately stunned. He ran over in a hurry, grabbed his clothes and shook him back and forth.
"Hey? Wait wait wait!! President How on earth did you know?!"
"."
Looking at Sakuramiya who was so anxious that his face was red, Yan Huan smiled helplessly, dragged her who was still struggling back to the big bed, pinched You Anlina's hair and explained,
"Sakuramiya Your hair is not completely pink. She is the only person familiar with you who has this kind of hair."
"Woo!"
But next to me, Sakuramiya heard this explanation, but she didn't feel better at all. Instead, she was still angry.
Seeing this, Yan Huan wanted to laugh even more, but said no more.
After throwing away the hair, he still twisted the hairpin and asked unnaturally,
"So, how on earth did you suddenly get the idea to ask me to be your dance partner at the High Table Dinner?"
"Dance partner for a high table dinner?! Invite you to dance with flowers?!"
Hearing this, the rat Sakuramiya in front of him widened his eyes, and subconsciously opened his mouth in surprise.
"."
Yan Huan was stunned for a moment, but the next second, Shushu Sakuramiya seemed to remember it again, and stroked his hair embarrassedly,
"Ah, it's true that President you agreed, and you said such a handsome answer while holding the knife, I'm a little nervous."
". Really?"
"Hmm"
Yan Huan frowned and looked Sakuramiya at the rat in front of her up and down, but as she looked at it, she suddenly raised her head and said very nervously,
"Since President has agreed, the way to get out of this room is the same as mine. That one is also fine."
"."
Hearing this, Yan Huan's throat moved subconsciously.
But he didn't make any move, and he still didn't let down his due vigilance.
"Wait, Sakuramiya, you"
"Woo!"
But the next second, Sakuramiya in front of him pursed his lips, but suddenly mustered up the courage and took the initiative to move towards Yan Huan.
She takes the initiative like this
Hug Yan Huan tightly!
"!!"
Feeling her petite and soft body pressing against his own, Yan Huan froze slightly.
"President. I like you"
In his arms, the rat Sakuramiya, who was holding Yan Huan tightly, breathed out like a blue, and his body was trembling like this, as if it was the first time he spoke like this, so he was still very unskilled.
But even so, her voice still seemed deafening to Yan Huan.
Because the next second, she gently leaned into Yan Huan's ear and whispered softly,
"Besides, even in this... that posture... I..."
Hearing this, Yan Huan's heart accelerated a little bit, and he even looked at Sakuramiya beside him in surprise.
He couldn't help but lower his eyes, and his stiff hands gradually lifted up, seemingly to hug her back.
"Sakuramiya, me."
However, when his heart beat faster and he was about to say the second half of the sentence, he frowned and felt something.
Huh?
His originally raised hand stopped in mid-air, and then he focused all his attention on his abdominal muscles and chest muscles.
Once again, confirm it with feelings.
"."
A second later, his face suddenly turned cold.
"Crack!!"
Immediately, he grabbed the shoulder of Sakuramiya in his arms and pushed him away.
"Hey, I know President, why?!"
In front of him, Shushu Sakuramiya was looking at Yan Huan with a face full of shock and confusion, looking very aggrieved.
But Yan Huan didn't accept this trick at all. Instead, his sharp eyes swept over a certain part of her petite body.
Can't be wrong
He had just experienced it carefully last night, and he would definitely remember it!
"You don't have low self-esteem Sakuramiya, right?"
"I am, President, how could you."
The Sakuramiya in front of him was slightly startled, and subconsciously wanted to explain.
But Yan Huan looked straight at her, and said word by word to Sakuramiya in front of him with a cold face,
"Those who have low self-esteem Sakuramiya are average."
"."
The Sakuramiya in front of him widened his eyes and stared blankly at Yan Huan.
Then, the originally flawless expression, which was exactly the same as that of Sakuramiya, broke through little by little.
