Me? I was transported into a book? And I became a vicious villain?

The words that Phantom left behind after he disappeared were like a stone dropped into a calm lake, stirring up ripples in Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen's hearts. They knew that the identity of the so-called "Emissary of Light" was questionable, and rashly believing in him would be like courting death. However, the powerful strength displayed by Phantom and the meaningful warning were like a sword hanging over their heads, which they could not ignore.

After some discussion, Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen decided to take a wait-and-see approach and temporarily accept the "cooperation", but in fact observe secretly and look for more clues about the "messenger of light" and the "power of darkness".

In the following days, the Phantom appeared frequently, each time with different mission instructions. Most of these missions were related to investigating unusual events in the city. They seemed simple, but in fact they were full of mysteries. Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen led the team to complete each mission carefully, and constantly tried to get more information from the Phantom in the process. However, the Phantom was like an experienced hunter, and he could cleverly avoid their traps every time without leaking a single drop of water.

Despite this, in the battles side by side again and again, Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen have quietly changed. They trust each other, rely on each other, and can understand each other with a look or a gesture. Chu Mengmeng found that the usually gentle Xiao Yichen can always burst out with amazing courage and strength when facing danger, which makes people feel extremely relieved. Xiao Yichen is attracted by Chu Mengmeng's intelligence and courage. She is no longer the little girl who needs his protection, but a partner who fights side by side with him, which makes him admire her.

On this day, they successfully completed a mission again and eliminated the evil forces lurking in the corners of the city. Looking at the exhausted Chu Mengmeng, Xiao Yichen felt a surge of pity in his heart. He wanted to give her a surprise, so that she could temporarily forget her troubles and relax.

"Mengmeng, come with me." Xiao Yichen took Chu Mengmeng's hand and smiled mysteriously.

He led Chu Mengmeng through many twists and turns and finally arrived at a quiet garden. As night fell, the stars twinkled and the moonlight poured down like water, casting a hazy veil over the garden. In the center of the garden, a dining table covered with a white tablecloth had already been set up. Candles were lit on the table, and the exquisite tableware sparkled under the candlelight. The air was filled with a faint floral scent, romantic and warm.

Chu Mengmeng looked at everything in front of her in surprise, her heart full of doubts: "This is..."

"Shh..." Xiao Yichen put his index finger to his lips, signaling her to keep quiet, "Tonight, you are my princess."

He pulled out a chair for Chu Mengmeng like a gentleman, and after she sat down, he walked to his seat. The soft candlelight illuminated Xiao Yichen's handsome face, making him look particularly gentle. He poured a glass of red wine for Chu Mengmeng and raised his glass, saying, "Cheers to us."

Chu Mengmeng took the wine glass and took a sip. A sweet taste spread in her mouth. She raised her head and looked at the man in front of her who made her heart beat. A warm current surged in her heart.

"Yi Chen, thank you." Chu Mengmeng's voice was soft, but full of sincerity.

"Silly boy, do we still need to say thank you to each other?" Xiao Yichen smiled gently.

The two shared delicious food under the moonlight and talked about each other's concerns. Chu Mengmeng confided to Xiao Yichen her anxiety and confusion after traveling to this strange world, as well as her vision and hope for the future. Xiao Yichen listened patiently, sometimes comforting and sometimes encouraging. His words were like the warm sun in winter, warming Chu Mengmeng's heart.

It was late at night, and the breeze was blowing. Chu Mengmeng couldn't help but shiver. Seeing this, Xiao Yichen took off his coat and put it on her, saying softly, "Be careful not to catch a cold."

This simple action touched Chu Mengmeng deeply. She raised her head and met Xiao Yichen's gentle eyes. When their eyes met, time seemed to stand still.

Suddenly, a breeze blew by, bringing with it the scent of flowers. At the same time, a gentle voice sounded in their ears: "Congratulations, you have found each other."

Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen were startled and quickly turned around to look for the source of the sound, but found that there was no one around.

"Who is it? Who is talking?" Chu Mengmeng asked vigilantly.

However, the only response she got was endless silence and the rustling of leaves in the night wind.

"Could it be..." Xiao Yichen frowned, and a bold guess emerged in his mind.

Could it be the Phantom? But why would she bless them?

All kinds of questions lingered in Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen's minds, adding a touch of mystery to this romantic night...

 The Story of Chu Xiao Chapter 124: Storm is Coming

The appearance of the mysterious voice cast a shadow on that sweet night. Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen returned to their residence with full of doubts. They tried to find the source of the voice, but found nothing. The words "Congratulations, you found each other" lingered in their hearts like a nightmare, and could not be shaken off.

Despite this, life must go on, and the responsibility of the city guardian cannot be slackened for a moment. Phantom's mission instructions still come regularly, Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen suppress their uneasiness and devote themselves to the work.

To their surprise, since that night, their cooperation has become more tacit. When performing tasks, a glance or a movement can understand each other. Chu Mengmeng is meticulous and can always detect hidden clues; Xiao Yichen is calm and decisive, and can always make the right judgment at critical moments. They complement each other, support each other, and resolve crises time and time again.

In the process of fighting side by side, the feelings between the two gradually warmed up. Sometimes, in order to complete the task, they need to disguise and play different roles. Once, they played a couple and searched for the target person in the lively dance floor. When the music sounded, Xiao Yichen gentlemanly stretched out his hand and invited Chu Mengmeng to dance. Chu Mengmeng's cheeks flushed slightly, and she gently placed her hand on his palm. The two spun on the dance floor, their eyes met, and an indescribable sweetness surged in their hearts.

After the mission was completed, they strolled in the moonlight, reminiscing about the sweetness they had just experienced.

"You acted really well just now." Chu Mengmeng said with a smile, trying to hide her inner excitement.

"Really? What about you? I think you are also into the role." Xiao Yichen's mouth corners slightly raised, with a hint of teasing in his eyes.

"Of course. Don't you see who I am?" Chu Mengmeng said with pretended confidence, but her slightly red ears betrayed her true emotions.

The two looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing.

However, just as they were immersed in this sweetness, a sudden piece of news broke the tranquility.

"A large number of unidentified creatures have appeared in the east of the city, suspected to be a large-scale invasion!" The assistant's anxious voice came from the communicator.

Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen's faces changed, they realized that a new crisis was approaching.

"Let's go!" Xiao Yichen took Chu Mengmeng's hand and rushed to the scene of the incident.

Looking at Xiao Yichen's determined back, Chu Mengmeng felt a little uneasy. She felt that this incident was not simple, and the relationship between her and Xiao Yichen would face an unprecedented test...
