Am I really hallucinating?

Chapter 733 Fish

Lin Yilin pulled the deeply affected Shang Xia away.

Zheng Fan stepped forward and patted her on the shoulder: "Alright, it's just a goose. Don't bother with these roadside birds, it'll only bring you misfortune."

Hearing this, Lin Yilin couldn't help but glance at Zheng Fan. Who was the last person with superhuman strength who still had to fight with roadside birds? It's hard to guess.

Zheng Fan picked up Lu Lu's shoes and handed them to Shang Xia: "Let's take Lu Lu's shoes over there and play bumper cars now."

Shang Xia was pushed forward before she could even react, and Lin Yilin followed suit as a precaution. Neither of the girls were particularly large, so they could squeeze into even a small bumper car.

Shang Xia was a little reserved at first, and was somewhat afraid as he gripped the makeshift steering wheel with both hands.

However, because she stood still, she became the target of other children's attacks and was relentlessly pursued and beaten. Even Shang Xia began to feel unhappy.

Lu Lu's shoes bounced around on the front of the car, guiding and advising Shang Xia. Shang Xia immediately abandoned all useless emotions and began to fight back, knocking these naughty kids away in a panic.

Zheng Fan stood outside the field listening to some of the children's parents discussing how Shang Xia and Lin Yilin, who were so old, were still playing in the children's bumper cars and bullying the kids. He couldn't hold back anymore.

"Are you happy?"

"Ah."

Suddenly, a hand landed on Zheng Fan's shoulder, and strands of her red-streaked hair fell across his shoulder and onto his chest. She leaned close to him.

Zheng did not react to this, but simply smiled and nodded in agreement.

Jiang Si seized the opportunity to come over.

Would you mind keeping me company for a bit?

Zheng turned his head and said, "Alright then, I think the two of them should play a few more rounds." Shang Xia's satisfaction seemed genuine, as if she intended to use all these children as speed bumps.

Jiang Si took the toast and the two turned to blend into the bustling crowd.

“I miss it a bit. Last year when we were in Dadu, we often went out together at night. But it wasn’t this lively back then,” Jiang Si said casually to Zheng Fan.

“Although this year has been quite turbulent in Dadu, Xixi Keke has not suffered too much damage. Instead, it has seized the opportunity for development and is now showing signs of replacing the regional status of Jiyun City. In a few more years, it may really be able to do so,” Zheng Fan said.

"That's not what I'm concerned about. It's just that I haven't played outside with Mr. Devil in a long time."

"After all, things around me have become much more lively." Zheng Fan did not deny this.

"It's alright, it's alright. I didn't come here to complain or be jealous." As she spoke, she noticed the goldfish scooping game.

"Do you want to play too?" Zheng Fan asked, seeing this. It was quite strange; the person he usually accompanied to the night market was Jiang Si, and Jiang Si preferred eating and drinking to playing games.

After a moment's hesitation, Jiang Si nodded.

After paying, the two squatted down by the inflatable pool and began scooping out the goldfish with a small net that would break at the slightest pressure.

Jiang Si didn't seem to be seriously trying to catch any fish. She just gently stirred the net in the pool, making sure not to break it but also not trying to catch any fish.

She suddenly asked, "When will my parallel universe counterpart appear?"

Are you also curious about your other self?

"Most people are probably curious, aren't they? The word 'if' is often on people's lips. All the regrets and all the relief are contained in these two light words." Jiang Si smiled, her words gentle and lively like a girl next door.

Bathed in the bright lights of the surroundings, the girl's skin seemed to glow, radiating a warm and alluring luster. Zheng Fan couldn't help but stare for a while, somewhat stunned. He once again admitted that Jiang Si was a woman who could move him in every way, both on a male and female level.

“You’re really getting more and more artistic. Mr. Wang probably didn’t teach you this, he’s a pragmatist,” Zheng Fan said, turning his gaze away.

Jiang Si narrowed her magenta eyes slightly, seemingly with a hint of pride: "It taught me how to think, and different individuals will naturally have different directions of thinking, won't they?"

“Indeed.” Zheng Fan nodded. “However, I don’t know when your counterpart will arrive. On the other hand, counterparts who appear to be Binary Girl and Red-Haired Madwoman have appeared.”

He briefly relayed the information he had just received to Jiang Si.

Jiang Si wasn't surprised either: "If it were a detective, I wouldn't be surprised at all how far she would go."

"You really think highly of her, even though you've never even met her." The unspoken understanding between the detective and the criminal is truly unpredictable.

"You can tell this kind of thing even without meeting them. Mr. Devil and Miss Detective are in a relationship of mutual concern, entanglement, and restraint. If Mr. Devil hadn't met someone as interesting as Miss Detective, he might have quickly grown tired of the world. If Miss Detective hadn't found Mr. Devil, she would have gradually lost control of her abilities."

Zheng Fan looked at the goldfish swimming in the pond without saying a word.

Jiang Si leaned closer and said, "The detective herself is well aware of this. If Mr. Devil is just an illusion, then are our lives, which have been changed because of Mr. Devil, also just a dream?"

"Well..." Zheng Fan opened his mouth to retort, but Jiang Si suddenly stretched out her neck and kissed Zheng Fan's lips directly.

It could even be said that they bit Zheng Fan's mouth.

After a long while, she finally released him, still without a trace of ambiguity. The warm orange-yellow light illuminated her love unreservedly before Zheng Fan.

"It's not a dream. The touch is so sweet and real, it makes my heart beat vividly, telling the story of the reality between us. I've verified it for everyone, that's great." The loving, murderous girl tilted her head slightly and said gently to Zheng Fan.

"Slippery." Zheng Fan never expected to be in such a predicament, and could only squeeze out a word before turning his head away.

Jiang Si let out a cute, crisp laugh.

The net she placed in the water, though completely still, simply sat quietly within it, yet a small fish swam calmly and steadily into it.

Jiang Si gently lifted the net, and the small fish struggled softly inside. She showed it to Zheng Fan: "Do you like it?"

"like."

What was Zheng Fan looking at, the fish or the girl in front of him who seemed to have undergone earth-shattering changes in just one year?

The answer is obvious.

The power of love is truly great...

……

After Lin Yilin and Shang Xia had played bumper cars for who knows how many rounds, and the emotions of the surrounding children and parents had become somewhat irritable, Shang Xia had also had her fill of fun.

All the internal strife on the other side has been cleared up, which is very satisfying.

Lin Yilin, looking at Zheng Fan who had suddenly appeared beside her, abruptly asked, "Did the murderous young lady steal any fish?"

“They probably stole it.” Zheng Fan snapped out of his daze and couldn’t help but laugh when he heard Lin Yilin’s words. “But the good news is that fish still like to swim freely in the water.”
