Delta: Taming wheat in a dream, I, Said

After Bai Kang left, the lounge was once again shrouded in darkness. Mai Xiaowen stood up in a daze, went to the door, and slid down against it like a lump of mud.

She kept her head down, covered her face with her hands, and her shoulders slumped from time to time.

She didn't want anyone to come in and see her in such a shameful state, even if it was just self-deception.

The girl pressed her legs together, emitting a buzzing sob. Pain sprouted like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, growing deep within her heart, causing her to convulse with pain with every heartbeat.

"Waaah..."

A deep, overwhelming pain and sorrow completely overwhelmed her. Mai Xiaowen finally shed her facade of strength, buried her head between her knees, and burst into tears.

She felt utterly useless; the opportunity for revenge was right in front of her, yet she couldn't bring herself to kill her enemy.

She felt so pathetic for falling in love with someone she hated.

She felt like the dumbest person in the world, so easily deceived, like a plaything being toyed with.

Why?

Why Bai Kang of all people? Why is Bai Kang Said of all people? Why does everyone have to bully her?

The thought that she would be swayed by Bai Kang's every move made her feel nauseous and disgusted.

She had once read a sentence in a book: "Immense grief can make it hard to breathe." She used to think this was an exaggeration; who could be so heartbroken? How much would they have to cry?

But right now, she is experiencing this situation: her hands are shaking, she has difficulty breathing, her heart is racing, and tears are streaming down her face.

It turns out that extreme sadness can indeed cause various symptoms.

The white angel and black demon that had appeared in her daze earlier reappeared on either side of her.

But this time, the two little figures didn't say a word. They just stared at Mai Xiaowen quietly, as if they were sad or disappointed.

Because Mai Xiaowen neither sought revenge nor forgave anyone.

"Hehehe."

Finally, the third blood-red figure reappeared, staring at Mai Xiaowen as if a demon bowed its head.

"Why don't you follow your heart? You wanted to kill him just now, and then commit suicide together, didn't you?"

Mai Xiaowen clutched her head, sobbing uncontrollably, "I can't do it, I can't do it..."

Just now, her knife was indeed aimed at Bai Kang's head, but in the end she softened her heart.

In a daze, she pulled something out of her pocket.

It was a small, square box, very exquisite; the packaging alone was quite valuable.

She opened the box in a daze, and a dazzling light shone forth, like the North Star in the dead of night.

With even the slightest ray of light, the Heart of Africa is the most dazzling sight.

Mai Xiaowen stared blankly at the Heart of Africa in the box. Upon closer inspection, she noticed a chain at the bottom of the Heart of Africa.

Yes, ever since Bai Kang gave her the Heart of Africa, she had it made into a necklace.

She had planned that after leaving the subspace, she would have Bai Kang put it on for her himself.

But now,

Having left the subspace, everything had changed.

Gradually, the crying in the darkness disappeared.

The crimson figure scratched its head, seemingly troubled, and finally sighed, "Alright, alright, since you can't bear to kill him, then there's another way."

"What method?" Mai Xiaowen muttered to herself.

"Imprison him, of course! Lock him up, he'll lose his freedom, and he'll be yours forever. You can do whatever you want with him, he can't escape anyway. Isn't that the best revenge in the world?"

Since he's using Said's identity to manipulate you, you can naturally tie him up as well.

The crimson little man chuckled, seemingly seeing a bright future ahead.

In fact, there are no white angels, no black demons, no...blood-red little men.

Everything was just a thought in Mai Xiaowen's head, and now, all those thoughts have finally come together.

If Luna hadn't knocked Mai Xiaowen unconscious in the subspace, the outcome would have been quite different.

Now, after falling into a deep sleep, Mai Xiaowen's completely frantic thoughts have calmed down a bit, transforming from a desire to commit suicide for love into a desire to possess.

In the darkness, all was silent.

After a deathly silence, a sinister laugh echoed through the room.

The girl leaning against the door shrugged her shoulders and let out a chilling laugh. She laughed and cried at the same time. She was waking up in madness, and she was going mad again in her awakening.

"Said...I see you."

……

As Bai Kang left the lounge, he suddenly shivered and looked back uneasily in the direction of the lounge.

Of course, all you could see was the tightly closed door.

"There shouldn't be any problems, right?"

Bai Kang murmured softly.

He was extremely distressed. He couldn't bear to leave Mai Xiaowen, but he also knew that if he stayed there, Mai Xiaowen would only suffer more.

"This is really a headache. I'll have Zoya go check on her later."

……

"Hey, isn't this Xiao Kangzi?"

As soon as Bai Kang arrived at the operations center, Zoya immediately came over with a grin and wrapped her arms around his neck without any hesitation.

"How was it? How did it feel to share a bed with Xiaomai?" Zoya asked in a low voice, winking at her.

Bai Kang: ...

"So, you're the one who made Xiaomai sleep next to me?" Bai Kang said speechlessly.

Zoya patted her chest proudly and said, "Of course, I've gone to great lengths for your and Xiaomai's happiness. Actually, there are other rest rooms, but I could tell you and Xiaomai had a fight, so I specially arranged for you to sleep together."

Young couples bicker, that's normal. What's that saying again... oh right, they argue at the head of the bed and make up at the foot.

How's it going? Has the situation improved a bit?

Bai Kang thought to himself, "Thank you so much. It turns out it was you who made me face a life-or-death situation as soon as I woke up."

However, sensing Zoya's genuine feelings, Bai Kang knew that it was Zoya's good intention.

They just meant well but did something wrong.

"Well, I wouldn't say it has absolutely nothing to do with easing tensions, but it's more accurate to say it's completely unrelated. Also, the saying 'quarrels at the head of the bed and make up at the foot' refers to married couples."

"Oh, don't worry about these details. You'll be husband and wife sooner or later anyway."

As she spoke, Zoya looked up at Bai Kang's face and hesitated, "Nothing worked at all? You two argued so fiercely? Even a good night's sleep didn't calm things down?"

If sleeping can't alleviate the symptoms, then it's probably quite serious.

Bai Kang twitched his lips. "Miss, please don't make any decisions about me and Xiaomai. I almost died just now."

Zoya pouted, feeling that Bai Kang was exaggerating. The idea that his body was completely gone was too over the top, but it seemed that their relationship hadn't improved.

"By the way, Xiaomai seems to be in a bad mood. Why don't you go check on her later?" Bai Kang asked.

……

I examine myself three times a day: urging updates, bookshelf, and generating electricity.

Those who have read this far, please give me a free gift.

The students will be starting school in a few days, so I should have more time to write.
