When Ultraman appears in reality, however:

"It was just a dream. I dreamt that you were acting like a spoiled child. You were so cute. I was a little embarrassed..."

In a hurry, Yue Ji made up a lie, but subconsciously, he felt that Yi Xilin would not be able to bear such words, but instinctively, he thought it was a good thing.

He kind of wanted to be alone.

It’s not that I’m afraid of being with people, but I’m afraid of seeing a river of blood…

too weird.

Hearing Yue Ji's words, Yi Xilin's expression suddenly brightened, and her worries and uneasiness were swept away. As for the slight blush on her face, it might be because he casually called her "cute".

Although she didn't know what Yue Ji had discovered.

"It's not that being hated is good, just knowing that is enough."

For some reason, Yishilin raised the corner of her mouth happily, and admired Yue Ji with satisfaction as he pursed his lips because he felt ashamed of himself.

"You are quite innocent. You are the most innocent among all the men I know."

"You said that, aren't you the same?"

"If I'm not used to it, it might scare you. After all, I've never dated a boy, and I've never thought about building a relationship with anyone. You're the only one who's so close to me.

If it weren't for your eyes that looked at people without any sexual desire at the beginning, I'm afraid I wouldn't have discovered more of your advantages. "

"No, I just have a normal relationship with girls."

Yue Ji scratched his head. He thought so. After all, he treated men and women equally. They were just talking for a certain purpose.

"So am I your first close friend of the opposite sex~?"

Yue Ji couldn't help but choke up at these words, but Yi Xilin looked up at him in surprise.

It seems that she didn't mean it, she just said whatever came to her mind. Although this caused a greater impact.

"You! That's a grammatical error... well, it's not a grammatical error, but it sounds ridiculous, okay! And you're meddling too much, aren't you!?"

"Why are you so nervous? It doesn't matter. This is my first time doing anything like this. Isn't this how we learned to get familiar with each other?"

"No buddy, even though I say that."

It's not hard to guess from her performance so far. Yi Xilin accidentally said that she had never been in love since she was a child, which made Yue Ji feel particularly shy. The more he told himself not to think about it, the more he couldn't help thinking about it.

Damn, this guy is so annoying.

No. Why would I want to fall in love?

"...Yue Ji?"

"It's okay, please stop looking at me."

Not wanting to expose his shallowness once again, Yue Ji sat on the sofa and turned his back to her.

He didn't want to be seen now, nor did he want to see Ishilin.

"Why are you using honorifics all of a sudden?"

"leave me alone."

"...Okay, then I won't watch it."

Having said that, Yi Xilin sat with her back to him. Yue Ji was about to turn around, but she poked him in the waist.

"Ouch! It's itchy!"

Although I couldn't see her expression, I guess she must have a naughty smile on her face.

But suddenly, Yishilin discovered Yue Ji's bandaged right hand.

"Hey? What's wrong with you?"

Hearing this, Yue Ji subconsciously said, "It should be a bump, it's nothing, I guess he's just pestering me for fun."

"No, show me what's going on."

Upon hearing this, Yue Ji also loosened the bandage, but unexpectedly, his hand was intact, with no signs of injury at all.

It's as illogical as a dream. As the feeling of pain is eliminated, a sinking sense of happiness is about to emerge.

"I'm glad you're okay... You really scared me to death..."

"Yes, that's true...."

"You've been hiding from me all day, but now that I've found you, please be patient for a while."

After hearing what Yi Xilin said, Yue Ji knew very well that he would not be able to escape this time. Although this understanding was still vague, he inexplicably felt a sense of relief, as if escaping was a futile thing for him.

Isn’t this good?

Yue Ji couldn't help but ponder in his heart. At this moment, he quietly felt the warmth coming from behind, and his heart began to beat wildly involuntarily. However, despite his restlessness, Yue Ji still tried to control his emotions and not let it show easily.

He tilted his head slightly, gently lifted his chin with his hand, and then rested his elbows firmly on his thighs while sitting cross-legged. At this moment, Yue Ji looked particularly peaceful.

……

The midterm exam was coming up after a while. Although Yue Ji didn’t know why it was held at this time, fortunately it was over. He ranked among the top ten in the school, and Yi Xilin won the first place without any suspense.

While cooking at home, Yue Ji said, "Congratulations on getting first place. Do you want any reward?"

"There's nothing in particular I want..."

"So what do you want me to do?"

"Hmm... probably, use a slicer to slice the cucumber over there into thin slices."

Hearing this, Yue Ji knew that Yishilin had no more needs, so he rolled up his sleeves and got to work, but Yishilin then added.

"I am already very satisfied with the current situation. Isn't it enough to just live together like this and take care of each other... After all, the real wish should be realized by oneself."

"What's your real wish?"

"What do you think it is?"

Don't know...

I don't know your...

Yue Ji looked up from the slicer and found that Yi Xilin's lips were quietly curled up.

For a moment, Yue Ji felt that expression was like a devil's smile. He couldn't look at it directly, so he turned his eyes to the cucumber.

"...No, I don't know."

"Right? So, it doesn't matter. Just stay like this, that's enough."

Hearing Yue Ji's words, Yi Xilin seemed to smile bitterly.

She created an atmosphere that prevented Yue Ji from asking further questions and started cooking again. This left Yue Ji at a loss as to what to do and he could only continue cutting cucumbers.

But these words reminded Yue Ji of his own wish.

But it’s bad... I’m an idealist, but why can’t I find my wish?

What is the wish?

Become a famous video novel creator? An astronaut? Explore the starry sky that has never been explored by humans? Or spend your life with the person you love, or become Ultraman in a film or TV show?

What the hell…what the hell is this?

I don't remember it at all.

Every road is smeared with dark will, these statements are not true.

All that was left was the confused murderous intent and the sigh of not having much time left.

Even if he had, it would be difficult for him to move forward.

Because Yue Ji felt so tired.

If those things really hadn't happened, on the way to becoming a creator, he would have encountered some villains who would hinder him. These beasts would have been relentless in their pursuit, and he wouldn't even dare to think about being an astronaut or falling in love. He would have had no chance at all.

There is always reluctance in his life.

I always miss something. If I want to trace back to that pure dream, I can only ask my childhood self.

But now... sinking is enough.
