Confessing to someone who thinks I'm a fat otaku, and then crying when monsters descend?

"I can send you into the cracks of the world."

Upon hearing this, Chen Nian hurriedly asked, "If I go in, is there any possibility of rescuing her?"

"The possibility is small, but not impossible. More likely, you will also be forgotten by the world and never be able to leave again."

Chen Nian: ......

Is it worth it to risk his life to save Lihua, a stranger who doesn't exist in his memories?

Chen Nian already had the answer in his heart.

Her disappearance was largely my fault. I cannot let her be abandoned in the cracks of the world; I must save her.

"I'm willing to go," Chen Nian replied.

A beam of green light suddenly floated out and landed in Chen Nian's palm, turning into a seed.

"This is?"

"A single seed. It can absorb the thoughts of all living beings, sprout and grow, becoming a sharp blade that can cleave the world."

"The thoughts of all living beings..."

"Go, child, your time is short; soon you will be completely forgotten. Remember, if a person's existence is strong enough, they will not completely disappear."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Nian was sent out of the consciousness space, and he could no longer get any more hints.

We're about to be forgotten, we must act quickly!

He rushed to the ward in the medical department and suddenly pushed the door open.

Tang Rou was fast asleep in the hospital bed, while Da Lihua was sitting on the edge of the bed; it was as if the two of them were reversed.

"No, why are you lying down?"

Tang Rou was startled awake by Chen Nian's voice. She stretched and said, "Lying down is definitely more comfortable than sitting, isn't it?"

"It's good that you haven't forgotten me. I have something urgent to tell you, especially you, Tang Rou, you'll forget me soon."

"Forgot what? Wait, you're not trying to avoid paying salaries, are you? That won't do!"

"Pah! If I'm still thinking about my salary at a time like this, I'll be banished to the margins of the world, just like Xiao Lihua. Only in this way can I have a chance to save her," Chen Nian hurriedly explained.

"You...can you save her?"

Big Pear Blossom hurriedly stood up, and her dim pupils suddenly gained a bit more color.

"The chances are slim, but we have to try, Tang Rou. First and foremost, you can't forget me."

"I... of course I won't forget you, you still owe me a lot!" Tang Rou said, hands on her hips.

"Don't just talk about it, write it down! Write down everything you think about me."

"Oh... Oh!"

Tang Rou hurriedly opened her phone's notes app and started writing.

It describes her first meeting with Chen Nian, her joining the guild, becoming his personal secretary, helping him pick up girls, and so on...

"No?" Several question marks appeared above Chen Nian's head.

"What's wrong with that? Everything I wrote is true!" Tang Rou said confidently.

"Alright, if everyone has forgotten me, I hope you can remind them. Based on my speculation, the so-called 'will of all beings' means that only when enough people remember me can I have a chance to emerge."

After Chen Nian finished explaining everything to Tang Rou, he then spoke to Da Lihua.

"Can you take us back? Pear Blossom is over there. Only by going back can I have a chance to obtain the power of all living beings."

"it is good."

Rika possessed the ability to break through the barriers between worlds, which was the main reason she was captured by the demon god.

The trains to various worlds haven't departed yet, and Chen Nian can only rely on the power of Da Lihua if he wants to go back.

"I'm willing to do anything to save her!"

Da Lihua unleashed her incantation, and in an instant, a fierce wind swept through the ward, shaking the entire room.

The ground beneath their feet suddenly gave way, and they sank into a chaotic space.

After an unknown amount of time, Chen Nian and Tang Rou finally landed on their feet and stood firmly.

This is an ancient world, Linhai City.

"Wow, we're back already! Isn't that amazing... Boss?"

Tang Rou turned around excitedly, but suddenly froze in place as if her computer had crashed, staring at the empty space in front of her with a face full of confusion.

"Huh? Who was I just calling?"

She scratched her head, thinking hard, but she just couldn't remember.

Dalihua:..........

At this moment, Chen Nian stood in front of Tang Rou.

He realized that he had been banished to the cracks of the world, and Tang Rou had forgotten him.

"So this is what it feels like to be forgotten. It's really hurtful."

Chen Nian couldn't help but smile bitterly.

He couldn't even imagine how devastating it must have been for Xiaolihua, who had spent ten years in a lonely world, to finally return and visit her family and friends, only to be ignored like air.

Now I can empathize with it myself.

"I hope you remember, otherwise no one will pay you a salary anymore."

"Let's go!"

After Chen Nian finished speaking, he took off, activated his Heavenly Eye, and flew over the city at an extremely fast speed.

His task was to find Little Pear Blossom first; the rest was up to fate.

.......

Da Lihua still remembers the old ones.

She wasn't from this world, so neither Xiaolihua nor Chen Nian were erased from her memory.

"Sister Tang Rou, you've forgotten someone."

"Really? I feel like I've forgotten something, but I usually have a very good memory..."

"His name is Chen Nian. You've recorded everything about him. If you don't believe me, open your notes and take a look."

Tang Rou opened the memo app, and what she saw shocked her!

Sure enough, it contained all sorts of details about the person "Chen Nian".

The story revolves around how they met, how he helped her join the guild, how he led the Dragon Kingdom to global prominence, how they repelled foreign enemies, and how he won over girls...

Everything was recorded clearly, without missing a single detail.

"No way, this guy named Chen Nian is such a scumbag! His profile is full of records of picking up girls, ugh!" Tang Rou couldn't help but complain.

Pear Blossom nodded: "You're right, but without him, those worlds would have been devastated, and so many people wouldn't have been saved. He is a hero, a pioneer who blazed trails and created an era, without a doubt."

"Is he really that good?" Tang Rou asked skeptically. "So, he's a really good pervert?"

"Uh...you could understand it that way."

"That doesn't make sense. If he were really that kind of person, and we've known each other for so long, why doesn't he pursue me?!"

"..."

"Am I not pretty, or do I not have a 36D bust?"

I cannot answer that question.

Tang Rou pouted: "Fine, let's just say he has bad taste and no guts. Of course, I'm not so easy to pick up either."

She continued reading the memo.

Following those recorded texts, the outline of a person named "Chen Nian" gradually formed in her mind.

At the end of the memo, there was one more line of text.

"Remembering Tang Rou from the Past" to "Forgetting Tang Rou from the Past"

Note: You really forgot about him? That won't do! He still owes you wages and lots of good food. Don't forget him! After you finish this job, extort him as much as you can!

By the way, you're probably wondering why this guy dated so many women but not you? Well, that means me.

Actually, I don't know either. We'll find out the answer later, so you absolutely have to remember!

.......

Tang Rou closed the memo.

"Without a doubt, this is indeed my work, even the style is exactly the same as mine, cough cough... it seems there really is such a person as Chen Nian."

Da Lihua said, "He said he needed the power of all living beings, so it's not enough for you to just remember him."

"So what should I do now?"

"Go find his female confidantes and make them remember."

"Alright, alright, I didn't expect to be doing this kind of hard work again... Oh well, he still owes me money, which I absolutely can't forget!"

........

Night in the village.

Pear Blossom squatted on the ground outside the house, hugging her legs with both hands.

In the darkness of night, it seemed as if she were the only person in the world.

No one could see her, she couldn't talk to anyone, and she couldn't eat anything.

She went to look for Chen Nian, but unfortunately she couldn't find him, so she returned here.

She so wished that one morning she would wake up and her sister would find her leaning against the outside of the house and call her name... but that could only remain a wishful thought.

In that world, none of the ten years were as difficult as this day!

For ten years, she thought about the day she would go back every night. She wanted to tell everyone that she had grown up and done something amazing.

Unfortunately, there was no one to whom I could confide my longing, which had been brewing for countless days and nights, or the words that filled my heart.

A despair called "loneliness" completely enveloped her.

The jade-white earring she clutched tightly in her hand was her last source of warmth.

It was given to her by her comrade-in-arms "An Qingluo" in that world, but it wasn't actually given to her, but to Chen Nian.

Chen Nian from that world died.

Before Pear Blossom left, the two had this conversation in front of Chen Nian's grave.

An Qingluo gently took off the earring: "Alright, I've taken back your world, and it's time for me to go. This earring was left to me by my mother; my sister and I each took half, saying it would bless us to marry good men."

"Even though you're not exactly a good man, I'll give you this earring."

Just as she was about to bury the earring in Chen Nian's grave, Li Hua suddenly spoke up: "How about I help you send it to Chen Nian in my other world? He's still alive."

An Qingluo: ?

Pear Blossom: "Actually, I'm not from this world. I came from another time and space. I'm going back soon. My old friend Chen Nian is still alive over there."

An Qingluo was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but chuckle.

"Alright, since that's the case, then please pass on a message for me. Tell them, you'd better not make me sad again!"

"Yes, yes, I'll definitely bring it to you."

Unfortunately, I can't keep this promise either. I'm so hungry, I really want to eat something.

Pear Blossom curled up in the corner, touching her belly, and suddenly felt like crying.

suddenly!!

She looked up at the distant night sky and saw a figure flying towards her at an extremely fast speed.

That familiar figure landed in the village.

Aged?!

A fleeting look of joy and anticipation crossed her pear-shaped face.

However, he then became dejected again.

Since no one can see me, how could Chen Nian possibly have had an accident? He... should have already forgotten me.

So you want to ask me for help again, just like before?

Hmph, you'll never find me.

"You bad guy!"

The pear blossoms were inexplicably angry.

Just then, Chen Nian's figure stopped in front of Li Hua.

"What are you doing sitting here all by yourself?"

"?!"

Pear Blossom suddenly looked up.

This was the first time she had met someone's gaze.

Chen Nian is truly talking to himself; he can truly see himself!

"Are you... talking to me?"

"Who else could it be here? You really do look exactly like that Pear Blossom, but you look much younger and your hair is black too."

Pear Blossom's nose suddenly stung with tears.

Tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.

All the emotions finally erupted at this moment!

She stood up and hugged Chen Nian tightly, crying and wailing, almost unable to speak.

"My sister can't see me... Waaah... Grandpa can't see me either... Nobody can see me... I'm so scared, so scared that it will always be like this... Waaah..."

In that instant, all of Chen Nian's memories of pear blossoms resurfaced.

Her existence has been observed and proven over many years.

Like Schrödinger's cat, you only know whether the cat in the box is alive or dead when it is seen by outsiders.

"It's okay, don't be afraid, I'm here."

Chen gently comforted Lihua.

After remembering everything about Pear Blossom, he knew that everything he had done was worthwhile.

Pear Blossom cried loudly, but she didn't wake anyone. The night remained quiet, and everyone was still dreaming.

"But...but why can you see me? My sister can't."

"Because you have been erased from existence by the world and banished to the cracks of the world, and I have also come to the cracks of the world, so I was able to find you."

"You mean...they can't see you either?" Pear Blossom stared at Chen Nian with teary eyes.

"That's right."

"you...."

Pear Blossom paused for a moment.

She didn't expect...

Chen Nian would go to such lengths for her.

Even in the longest night at the ends of the earth, he pursued them.

In that instant, the world's scenery changed.

In that instant, the boundless loneliness vanished, replaced by the warmth of being cared for.

In that instant, she defined the flutter in her heart as "liking".

Young Rika didn't understand love; her only feeling was "admiration" for her older brother. But now she's a mature woman in her early twenties.

Ten years of hard work have not only resulted in physical growth, but also taught her many other things.

"Idiot! Moron!"

Pear Blossom then proceeded to pound into Chen Nian's chest. Having never experienced love, she could only express her emotions in this way.

Chen Nian didn't interrupt her.

After a while.

Pear Blossom wiped away her tears. "Then we'll be trapped inside forever... It's so sad to spend my whole life with a bad person like you."

"That's not necessarily true."

Chen Nian opened his palm, and a green seed lay in his hand.

Whether or not it can go out depends on whether the will of all living beings can make this seed sprout.
