After the Little Crybaby Enters the Nightmare Cycle

There will be an extra day in February every year.

Before twelve o'clock, You Yu had turned the calendar to the 29th.

He put the red velvet cake on the table, with twenty candles in it.

Although no one knows the true date of birth of Chi Nan, he has been celebrating his birthday on February 29 for the past eleven years.

And You Yu has always had a speculation, will Chi Nan's real birthday also happen to be February 29th?

After all, Chi Nan was able to successfully enter the 229 school copy at the time. Although Chi Nan used his body correctly, a bug appeared when reading the "maximum age" rule. Chi Nan's age was not displayed according to his physical age.

You Yu suspected that what the system had read was Chi Nan's true birth date, but the system did not disclose it to him.

According to this speculation, Chi Nan had his birthday on the same day.

Thinking of this, You Yu felt a subtle joy in her heart.

He can celebrate his birthday together in the future. He doesn't like sweets very much. He can eat all his cakes for Chi Nan, and Chi Nan will surely eliminate all the cakes.

As time passed by, You Yu waited for a long time, and finally waited until the clock pointed to twelve o'clock.

You Yu closed the window, isolating the endless rain and night, and there were countless warm candles beating in the confined space.

You Yu made a wish, then lowered his eyelids to look at the beating candlelight, as if quietly waiting for the wish to come.

The candle burned very quickly. He just blinked his eyes a few times. The candle was half burned. The colored wax pieces melted and dripped onto the cake. You Yuzai carefully removed the wax from the cream and continued to wait patiently.

But until the candle burned out and went out, his wish was still not realized.

Fortunately, You Yu prepared enough candles, so he put new candles on the cake, lit them and waited.

The rain outside the window became heavier, and I banged on the window glass anxiously. The candles on the cake also followed the rhythm of the rain, burning faster and faster.

The light of the candle was reflected in You Yu's dark eyes, and as the candle went out, the luster in his eyes gradually faded.

Everything became lifeless.

Click, click.

The rain fell on the glass, bursting, slipping, and silently losing its original shape.

You Yu was trapped in an absolutely quiet self-consciousness. He took up the knife like saving himself and cut the red velvet cake with some melted cream in the dark.

He mechanically put a spoonful of cake into his mouth, but the taste seemed to be blocked. The sweet cake bite like a block of wax in his mouth, without any taste.

Maybe too much wax dripped into the cake...

Not only the sense of taste, but You Yu feels that his sense of sight, smell, hearing, and touch are also degenerating a little bit, and everything becomes nothingness in the silent rainy night.

Does Chi Nan really exist?

This is the first time since Chi Nan disappeared for half a year that he doubted his persistence.

If existence itself is not established, there is no way to talk about disappearance.

He can only eat cakes non-stop, and barely maintain the seemingly untenable wait through mechanical feeding actions.

Just when You Yu finished eating a whole piece of cake and was about to cut the second piece, the interface of the main system flickered.

This time, the main system interface is not in the cool white tones of the past, but in the faint green that You Yu is so familiar with.

But the system only flickered and did not issue any commands.

You Yu waited for a while, and his sanity gradually returned. He put down the cake pan in his hand and asked in a deep voice, "Are there any instructions?"

The faint green light became brighter, and for a moment, a familiar voice came from the system--

"Is it tasty?"

You Yu was stunned.

Without an answer, the voice continued from the system: "Is the cake delicious?"

Yu Yu's eyelashes trembled, all the disappeared senses returned in an instant, and the soft and sweet taste of cake in the air became clearer and more vivid.

The strong sweetness permeated his mouth, and You Yu raised the corners of his lips: "Want to taste it?"

His tone changed back to the way it was before, a bit mischievous.

He clearly guessed that Chi Nan, who was trapped in the system, could not enjoy the cake.

Chi Nan: "..." This guy is definitely deliberate.

When You Yu saw him not speaking, he narrowed his smile, and his voice trembled a little depressed: "Brother Nan, welcome back."

"Um..." Chi Nan's voice was a bit lazy and hoarse as if he had just woke up, "Thank you."

"How can I let you taste the cake?"

You Yu cleverly hid the emotions that he had suppressed for more than half a year. He was not in a hurry to ask the ins and outs of the whole thing. Now what he cares most is how to get Chi Nan to eat their birthday cake.

Before Chi Nan could speak, the system's inorganic voice sounded——

[Dream Maker 229 can choose to open the sensory system to achieve sensory sharing]

"Sense sharing?"

[Yes, once sensor sharing is turned on, the system will synchronize with your senses]

You Yu asked Chi Nan in the system: "So, are you hiding in my system now?"

Chi Nan: "It can be understood that way."

In other words, once he chooses sensory synchronization, Chi Nan can feel everything he perceives.

Think about it, this level of sharing and synchronization is enough to make people tremble.

This is a closer and deeper contact than Chi Nan used his body before.

The person you love the most, share all your senses with yourself.

[May I ask if Dreamer 229 is willing to share the sensory system? After sharing, you still have absolute control over your body, and the system is only used as a passive sensor]

The system reconfirms and explains.

You Yu: "I am willing."

After speaking, he smiled imperceptibly, always thinking that the ring should be exchanged in the next second.

Just listening to the sound of ‘ding’, the system seems to have completed a certain connection: [The sharing system has been set up, thank you 229 for your support and contribution. ]

After saying this, the system disappeared with a ‘pop’, and the room returned to darkness.

But this time, You Yu clearly felt that Chi Nan's existence was in his body and consciousness.

For a moment, both of them were silent, and the sound of rain hitting the window became slow and gentle.

You Yu's eyes gradually adjusted to the darkness of returning. He picked up the plate with the red velvet cake and put the cake into his mouth with a spoonful of it.

Unlike the mechanical stuffing just now, he chewed slowly this time, allowing the taste buds to fully perceive the sweetness of the cake.

"Is it delicious?" After a long time, You Yu asked Chi Nan softly.

Chi Nan made a voice in his consciousness: "Well, it's just a little bit changed."

You Yuxiao: "I'll get a fresh one later."

Chi Nan: "Don't worry, let's go after the rain stops."

The two fell silent again. Through the sharing of senses, Chi Nan clearly felt that You Yu's eyes were getting wet and hot, and it seemed that as long as he blinked his eyes, tears would roll down without the control of his will.

Was it because of eating sweets that his tearful illness was also transmitted to You Yu through the sharing system? It doesn't seem like this...

You Yu didn't turn on the lights, and I don't know whether it was the sound of rain outside the window or the tears rolling from the corner of his eyes that made the night more humid.

"Why are you crying?" Chi Nan asked.

You Yu was silent for a moment, and for a moment said in a very light but serious tone: "Because you are back."

After waiting for so long, can't I be wronged?

Chi Nan: "Then... in the two-headed brothers acting class before, the tears you owed me can be offset."

You Yu tut: "Is it so clear?"

"Well, you have always watched me cry, and I lost it," Chi Nan thought for a while and said, "Turn on the lights, and let me see how you cry."

You Yu didn't turn on the light in accordance with his words. He picked up the last remaining candle and placed it on the cake which was not fresh.

Soon, the light of the candle lit up the whole room.

"Brother Nan, make a wish first." You Yu said.

Chi Nan: "Yeah."

You Yu closed his eyes in front of the cake and made a wish for Chi Nan, which was more religious than when he made the wish himself.

"I hope this is the last time I see you cry." Chi Nan directly expressed his wish.

You Yu lowered her eyes and looked at the beating candles on the cake: "This wish is very easy to come true, as long as you don't leave anymore, it will do."

As he said, he walked to the mirror, and the right eye in the mirror turned into a pale green.

Chi Nan also saw his own color in the mirror through You Yu's eyes.

"I thought the connection sharing system was only for the senses, but I didn't expect to turn you into a different pupil." Chi Nan was a little sorry to change the other person's appearance without consent.

You Yu looked very happy: "It's very beautiful."

After all, the color of the pupil in the right eye is also a proof of Chi Nan's existence.

"It's really good-looking." You Yu emphasized again, some fascinatingly admiring'self' in the mirror.

For a moment, Chi Nan said quietly: "You Yu, you are really narcissistic."

You Yu smiled: "Yes."

...

The rain outside the window stopped, and You Yu turned on the light.

He sat in front of the mirror, as if he couldn't see enough of his green right eye.

"In the beginning I was basically unconscious. This feeling was like a bubble floating in nothingness," Chi Nan began to describe what he experienced after disappearing. "The only voice I can hear is that someone seems to be calling me all the time. name."

"I've been talking about it, but I can't wake up, but this familiar feeling is very reassuring, I know I exist," it was like seeing the lighthouse in the foggy sea, Chi Nan's world at that time There is only the only voice left in it, "But I can't get closer to the direction of the sound."

You Yu was very patient, and followed Chi Nan's thinking a little bit smoothly: "How long has this situation lasted?"

Chi Nan: "I'm not sure. The concept of time was very vague at the time. I didn't know how long it took. After that, my unconscious state gradually shortened. Every time the familiar voice always wakes me up, I walk in his direction and can Seeing some pictures, it's like a cut movie, but the protagonist is all about him."

You Yu nodded silently, and Chi Nan said: "You Yu, this person is you."

You Yu was taken aback for a moment and then smiled: "So you have been looking at me?"

"You are looking for me," Chi Nan admitted, "and only you remember me."

"Brother Nan, everyone has forgotten you, are you sad?" You Yu asked again.

Chi Nan corrected and said: "Not everyone, you remember me."

"If you forget me, I might be sad...Others are not so important." Chi Nan said honestly.

Hearing this, You Yu's heart beat fiercely, Chi Nan could clearly perceive the changes in his body, and he was puzzled: "What's wrong?"

The corners of You Yu's lips couldn't help rising: "It's nothing, just can't help but feel a little proud."

Chi Nan: "..." Few people will tell themselves proudly.

"What happened later?" You Yu asked.

Chi Nan: "I started to try to understand my situation. Those bugs appeared because of my existence. Only my death can end the bugs, so the system wants me to die."

He paused and continued: "But the system doesn't seem to really kill me, because after I passed through the ghost tunnel and was obliterated, the system began to collect my consciousness and sealed it inside the system, and then I slowly began to wake up. Adapt until you can completely survive in the system, as it is now, I request it to bring me to you."

You Yu: "Did the system tell you all this?"

Chi Nan: "I'm not sure, because I know these are not through words, but the implantation of consciousness, as if these thoughts directly enter my consciousness and grow naturally."

You Yu doesn't comment on things that are unclear, but just asks: "Does it tell you what to do afterwards?"

"No, the system will not tell me this," Chi Nan said, "but I want to continue to retrieve my memory and find out the truth about my identity."

"Then, if possible, I want to get my body back."

"Well, before you find your body, An Anxin live with me, I won't charge you rent," You Yu smiled, "Anyway, you are used to living too?"

Chi Nan: "...Thank you."

"As a landlord, I want to do something now." You Yu said suddenly.

Chi Nan always felt that he had no good intentions: "What?"

"Let's take a shower together."

With that said, You Yu had already walked to the bathroom holding the change of clothes.
