Chapter 312 Fantasy
"Haah..."
Sitting on the chair and looking at the flashing neon lights outside the window, Duanmu Huai couldn't help but sigh.
"Love..."
While muttering to himself, Duanmu Huai picked up a can of beer and poured it into his mouth.
I don't know if it was because of chatting with that strange girl today that Duanmu Huai once again thought about this issue. When it comes to whether he wants to fall in love, Duanmu Huai has never thought about it. Ever since his first love failed when he was in school, Duan Muhuai has never thought about having any intimate relationship with other women. And with his appearance, it is difficult to attract women.
Duanmu Huai has watched that kind of harem animation before, but unfortunately, he didn't have any sense of involvement. The reason is very simple. Even among those good-for-nothing male protagonists in harem animations, even if they are men who are nothing but gentle, or even fat otakus, there will always be women who take the initiative to fall in love with him.
And this kind of thing... Duanmu Huai felt that it would never happen to him.
This was one of the reasons why he chose to play a female account. After all, he didn't want to pretend to be a shemale to deceive men, and he was too lazy to engage in online dating, so he might as well just play it like this.
Duanmu Huai didn't think there was anything wrong with this. He himself lacked interest in love, and getting married was not on his agenda. To be honest, even if he made an engagement with An and Gu Leiya for various reasons, Duanmu Huai didn't know how to treat them, such as how to show his side as a fiancé? Duanmu Huai had never thought about this kind of thing.
Just like in real life, Duanmu Huai simply focused on the life in front of him, how to take orders, how to make money, and how to make money. But as for what he will do and what he will do after this, Duanmu Huai never thinks about these issues. He will not think about whether he will die alone, nor will he consider whether he will marry someone else and have children in the future, or whether he will continue to make a living in this industry after he reaches the age of forty or fifty.
He just stared at the present, as mechanically as checking in on a mobile game, repeating his life day after day. I checked in, got the reward, and that was enough. As for the use of these things and their impact on the future, Duanmu Huai will not think about these issues.
The same is true now. Duanmu Huai's current goal is to make himself strong enough to fight against the Chaos Evil God. Everything he does is for this goal.
But other than that, he basically doesn't care.
This is like playing an FPS game. Players only need to care about finding weaknesses and defeating the BOSS. There is no need for one or two sweet and refreshing love episodes to liven up the atmosphere.
It's not necessary, right?
"It's really troublesome."
After drinking the beer, Duanmu Huai shook his head. He didn't know what kind of mental illness he had committed today. He was attracted by the words of the girl in kimono, and that's why he suddenly started to be as sentimental as an artistic young man. To be honest, Duanmu Huai felt that this was not suitable for him at all.
Forget it, go to sleep.
Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai yawned and went to bed to rest - he just closed his eyes and fell asleep.
When Duanmu Huai opened his eyes again, he found that he was in a classroom, and in front of him was a girl.
Although she didn't turn around, Duanmu Huai remembered her.
That was my first love—or, it’s not quite right to say first love.
Duanmu Huai was not sure whether he had feelings for her, so the reason why he confessed to her was very simple. At that time, she was the tallest girl in the class. Although she was still shorter than Duanmuhuai, she was taller than everyone else. Because of this, she is always called the "Giantess". And her own personality is also somewhat boyish. Every time someone calls her that, she will get angry and fight with the other person. Over time, she, like Duanmu Huai, is regarded as someone who is kept at a distance.
At that time, Duanmu Huai felt that he and she were in the same boat, so he confessed to her.
Now that I think about it, the girl's expression at that time was very complicated. She lowered her head and said nothing. In the end, she just nodded slightly. Duanmu Huai was quite happy at that time and felt that the other party should have the same feelings as him.
But later, after she transferred to another school, Duanmuhuai realized that the girl was not happy or excited at that time. She just simply felt pain and despair - it was obvious that she had been isolated by her classmates because of her height, and in the end she was targeted by her "fierce god". Perhaps because of this, she finally chose to leave This school, leave this city.
There is nothing outside the window, only a gorgeous, constantly rotating Wanhua Mirror.
At the same time, a voice sounded in Duanmu Huai's ears.
"Do you long for love?"
"………………"
Duanmu Huai did not answer this question. He just stared at the familiar yet unfamiliar figure in his memory and frowned slightly. "Don't be afraid of love, don't be afraid of desire."
That voice continued to echo in Duanmuhuai's ears.
"Loving each other and longing for each other is the instinct of all life. This is the imprint deep in the soul. If you resist it and ignore it, you will only be destroyed by it - fear and avoidance are not the solution. If you want to achieve your goal, you must accept it and...conquer it."
"…………"
Duanmu Huai said nothing, just clenched his fists.
"Remember, this is just the beginning. If you can't take this step, you will never be able to face your enemy."
The Wanhua Mirror outside the window flickered and rotated with the sound, bringing a dreamlike brilliance.
"You mean..."
Duanmu Huai opened his mouth. At this moment, a ridiculous idea suddenly emerged deep in his heart.
Could it be said that this mission is for…………
"Escape cannot solve the problem. Feelings are not a burden, but a strength."
The voice was still whispering.
"Look within yourself, find your inner desire, tap into its presence, and make it your strength...not your weakness."
As the words fell, the brilliance of the Wanhua Mirror shining around became more and more dazzling and charming. Soon, they formed a blurry pattern in front of Duanmu Huai.
That low voice that made one's heart tremble, the snow-white body, everything seemed to turn into some kind of irresistible wave, rushing towards Duanmu Huai.
The next moment, he opened his eyes suddenly.
"Mr. Duanmu."
At this time, Duanmuhuai saw Honoko sitting next to him, looking at him uneasily.
"Are you okay, Mr. Duanmu."
‘I’m fine, what happened? ”
Looking at Honoka, Duanmu Huai frowned and asked. The latter hesitated for a moment, and then spoke uneasily.
"Because you have been comatose for two days and you didn't respond no matter how I called you. I thought you..."
"Two days?"
Hearing Honoka's answer, Duanmu Huai was also shocked, and he sat up hurriedly.
"Where's the game?"
"It hasn't started yet...Mr. Duanmu, do you still plan to participate in the competition?"
"Of course."
Duanmuhuai stood up and moved his body. Although he didn't know what was going on, Duanmuhuai had already made some guesses about the dream. However, now is not the time to verify his conjecture. He should go to the competition first, defeat the last opponent, and then—and then!
