Chapter 1147 - 1144: Do You Want to Be Human?
The curtains in the room were tightly closed. Chu Wu slightly tilted her body, cherry lips slightly parted, her breathing even, neither hurried nor slow. In the dark space, her brows were furrowed, and her long, thick eyelashes fluttered, as if she might awaken at any moment.The girl beside her seemed to sense Chu Wu’s unease. She gently turned her body, holding Chu Wu’s cold hand with her small hand. A gleam flashed across her starry eyes, gradually turning into distress. Holding Chu Wu’s hand, she gently patted it rhythmically, listening to Chu Wu’s occasional uneasy murmurs. The girl’s starry eyes slightly lowered, and after a while, a clear and ethereal singing voice slowly rose in the room.
The dark sky hangs low
The bright stars accompany
Fireflies fly, fireflies fly
Who are you longing for?
Chu Wu gradually calmed down, her grip on the girl’s hand relaxing, the tightness in her brows slowly easing. The girl’s starry eyes drooped slightly, her red lips parted and closed, her singing gentle and soft, like murmuring whispers, telling a small bedtime story.
Fireflies fly, flowers sleep
A pair after pair is beautiful
Not afraid of the dark, only afraid of a broken heart
No matter how tired
Or the direction
The song slowly entered the spiritual world, Wu slowly raised her head, listening to the song, her previously expressionless face gradually softened, her peach blossom eyes carrying a faint gentleness, corners of her mouth forming a slight curve. Sitting on the ground with her arms around her knees, she quietly listened, gradually closing her eyes.
Although I have mentally prepared myself, if I can stay a little longer, let me stay a bit more... until Jiu and Wu, my two favorite people, are happy, then I’ll be content...
[Do you... want to become a person?]
A hollow, cold voice suddenly sounded. Wu abruptly raised her eyes, vigilantly scanning the surroundings, ’Irrelevant ones, get out of here!’
[Do you... want to become a person?]
The voice rang out again, this time with a light, airy laughter, sounding eerie in the spiritual world. Wu’s peach blossom eyes turned cold and sharp, expressionlessly looking around. She only heard the crisp laughter of the childlike voice, then a wave in the spiritual world, and the intruder vanished from within it.
Rising with a composed face, Wu looked down at the spiritual power she just exerted in her palm.
Do you want to become a person?
Human...? Wu clenched her fist tightly. Who could it be!
And at that moment, the flowing song resumed, gradually calming Wu’s previously uneasy and restless emotions. She was briefly startled, then let out a low chuckle, the usual indifference on her face softening.
Become a human?
Of course, I want that. Which spiritual entity would willingly remain a virtual spirit? Whenever she had a body, she always felt a thrill. But then... Wu buried her head in her arms, slowly closing her eyes. Over time, that desire faded, not for any particular reason, just that she thought there wasn’t much difference between being human and being a spirit.
Chu Wu once said that if she wanted, she could date anyone, make friends, her brothers and friends were also her friends, but she found it too troublesome and was too lazy to socialize. Because in her view, those emotions would eventually disappear, and having only Wu to talk to was enough.
Then Bi Xia appeared. In her spiritual world, she watched this person who was always teasing and joking with Chu Wu but was there for her when needed. Their compatible personalities and interactions made Chu Wu feel comfortable and liked her, and so did Wu. However, this did not make Wu want to get to know them better; she just felt that Chu Wu had a great friend, truly...
But from that day, it was different. The same song, the same voice slowly flowed into the spiritual world. At that moment, Wu felt her whole being warm. She even began to suspect she might be a person. For the first time, she became curious about a person.
It turns out, Bi Xia really is a very good kid. Being with her feels great.
Does it matter to be human or not? With family, she has Chu Wu; with friends, she has Bi Xia. That’s enough...
In another part of the spiritual world, a mocking laugh suddenly rang out. Crimson eyes slowly opened, flickering with cold light and sarcasm, "Idiot."
