After losing their memory, they all said she was my girlfriend

Chapter 23 The False World

clap la la...

She stood up, and her flawless body was exposed to the air, showing a breathtaking hazy beauty in the diffuse water vapor.

"Let's make it clear to him now, and I won't continue to struggle like this."

……

"Chen Li."

Chen Li, who had just finished exercising, was wearing shorts and shirtless, stretching his tense thighs.

Suddenly, Su Ziying's voice came from behind him.

Just then he felt that he was almost stretched, so he stood up and turned around to look.

Facing Chen Li dressed like this, Su Ziying's expression remained as usual.

She didn't know how many times she had seen this scene. From the moment she blushed at the beginning, she was already used to it.

"Do you want to say it now?"

Chen Li could also see what Su Ziying was thinking.

"Ah."

Su Ziying nodded.

"How about a moment?"

Chen Li pointed to his upper body and said, "I'm covered in stinky sweat now, how about you let me take a shower first?"

Hearing this, the tip of Su Ziying's nose twitched.

It does smell like sweat.

But it doesn't smell bad.

"can."

She said.

It’s not a short amount of time anyway.

……

In the bathroom of Chen Li's room.

Chen Li raised his head and let the shower head hanging on the wall pour down on his head.

The hot water washed over his body, making him feel comfortable.

It's autumn now and the weather is getting colder.

Sure enough, there’s nothing better than a hot bath after a workout.

He sighed inwardly, and then changed his mind, recalling what Su Ziying said to him and her current attitude towards him.

After washing his body, Chen Li turned off the shower, came to the sink, squeezed out facial cleanser and started washing his face.

In fact, if he thought carefully about what Su Ziying was going to say to him next, he could indeed guess some of it.

It must be related to her wanting to leave this world, and it is also related to him himself.

But what exactly it will be is impossible to predict.

Sprinkling cold water on his face to wash away the foam of facial cleanser made Chen Li's thinking extremely clear.

Looking back on Su Ziying's attitude and changes in behavior over the past four months, Chen Li felt helpless.

He is not emotionally dull like some male protagonists in Japanese comics, and he is completely unaware of changes in the emotions of the women around him.

On the contrary, Chen Li is very sensitive in this regard.

He knew that Su Ziying had feelings for him that were different from those of her companions.

That is, like it.

Love may not be mentioned, but at least it is a good impression between a man and a woman that has reached the point of being ambiguous.

As for how she showed it, that was a lot.

Give me an example.

If she just regards him as a simple companion, will she be jealous because he plays love games on the console to guide other girls?

Although the reason she gave was "This game is a stand-alone game. You can only play it alone. I can't collect superpowers from you. We should play a two-player game together."

But when he was playing other types of stand-alone games, she would wait for him to die next to her with a calm face...

It was obvious that Su Ziying did not realize this.

After washing his face, Chen Li applied shower gel on himself and started to take a bath, while thinking non-stop.

How should he treat Su Ziying.

Chen Li thought it was nothing, just face it directly.

Whether she likes him or hates him, it doesn't matter, that's her freedom.

As long as it can protect him from the last six months.

After all, no matter how much she behaves like a real person, in Chen Li's eyes, she is just an NPC.

She is just a copy of the real-life Su Ziying used by the system to help him complete his mission.

He is an illusory person who only exists in this dream.    … If it were before, Chen Li would have thought so unswervingly.

After washing his body, he started washing his hair.

He rubbed his hair, and occasionally his fingers would pass through the knotted area, and he would feel a slight pain from his scalp being pulled.

Four months later, his hair is still the same length it was when he came into this world.

Because every month, Su Ziying would cut his hair.

Thinking of this, Chen Li couldn't help but feel silent in his heart.

Then the question came out again.

Is this world... really fake? Is it really just a dream?

Is the Su Ziying in front of him really just an illusory person?

He asked the system, but the system kept silent about it.

As the dream simulation progressed, he felt the reality of this world more and more.

Whether it was his own body, his touches to the outside world, or even Su Ziying's emotional changes.

Everything is indistinguishable from reality.

Originally, he had always believed that this was a dream, and everything here was fake. It was just a mission location where he received rewards.

But as life continued, coupled with the system's silent attitude, it made him suspect that there was something wrong.

Chen Li began to waver.

But out of position, he still sided with the system, thinking that this was probably just a dream.

It's just that this dream... is a bit too real.

It is precisely because of this idea that Chen Li feels that Su Ziying's feelings for him are not important.

Because when the mission is completed, he will leave, and she, a copy of Su Ziying, will also disappear.

Given this premise, what does it matter how she sees him, how she loves him and hates him?
  It's okay.

"If she gets angry and starts hating me, I cook to make her happy because I need her strength."

"If she likes me and says it outright, then I will pretend to like her too, win her more favor, and let her do her best to protect me when I go on a hidden mission."

"if……"

Chen Li thought about a lot of what-ifs.

There is only one core.

That is to maintain the companionship between the two and let her protect herself so that the mission will not be completed.

"When you think about it, I seem a little bad."

He raised his head and opened his eyes slightly in the water.

His vision was hazy, and memories seemed to float before his eyes.

Su Ziying puffed up her face when she was angry when he teased her.

Su Ziying looked proud after coming back from playing tricks.

Su Ziying was so shocked that she looked happy when she tasted the new dishes.

The meticulous way Su Ziying looked when cutting his hair...

Various scenes flashed back and forth, and then shattered like a mirror.

"But that's okay."

"Because...this is all false."

Chen Li turned off the shower, dried his body and put on his clothes. He looked at himself in the mirror, thinking a lot.

I hope it is...

……

"I ve done washing."

After taking a shower, Chen Li came to the living room and sat down opposite Su Ziying who was reading a book.

"You like to read books backwards lately?"

Chen Li pointed at the book in Su Ziying's hand and smiled.

"what?"

Su Ziying blushed. She had just been thinking about what to say next and had been absent-minded. Only now did she realize that she had held the book backwards.

Then, she made a mistake and didn't straighten the book back. She simply put it upside down on the table and spread it out.

She nodded and said seriously: "Yes, this is me practicing my ability to judge mirror images. I not only read the book upside down, but also read from the last page to the first page, and from the last word to the first word. .”

"I see."

Chen Li suppressed his laughter and did not expose her. He took the initiative to change the subject and said, "What did you want to say just now?"

"What makes you so unappetizing?"
