The improved female villains regained their memories.

The next morning, Shi Guijia went out to see if there were any places selling spirit stones.

She was lucky, and because she had brought enough money with her this time, she was able to buy the spirit stone she wanted.

However, this means all the money was spent on spirit stones. I was originally planning to take her around town and buy her some things she likes...

It seems this plan has to be cancelled.

After repairing the plane, take the child to see Shenlong Lake, and then go back.

This trip has been fraught with problems, and it's almost worn down Shi Guijia's last bit of patience.

However, nothing unexpected happened after that. After the spirit stone was replaced, the plane started up smoothly again. The mother and daughter had breakfast and boarded the plane amidst the envious glances of passersby, heading to Shenlong Lake, which was not far from here.

This time, everything was sure to go smoothly. Shi Guijia entered her destination. Because she had slept very well last night, she wasn't very sleepy now, so she gave up the idea of ​​sleeping and looked outside.

The scenery outside flashed by, and she thought of the past, of how she, in her youth, had spoken grand ambitions to her lover, aspiring to overlook the magnificent landscape.

Now, youth is gone, and only despair and loneliness remain as constant companions.

Suddenly, she felt a gaze upon her, turned her head, and met Yang Luoyi's eyes.

"..."

Shi Guijia looked away and gazed ahead.

"what happened?"

"……without."

"Then why are you staring at me?"

"Yes, I'm sorry..."

"You don't need to keep saying sorry. You are a girl after all. Don't keep staring at other people's faces."

...My heart ached involuntarily.

Shi Guijia remembered that when she was refining weapons, there was always someone staring at her.

If she puts on an angry or embarrassed look, the man will laugh and say, "Isn't Xiaojia pretty?"

"……Um."

Yang Luoyi didn't say anything about what she had said, she just nodded and looked away.

[Being so obedient makes me seem like I'm the one being unreasonable...]

Feeling inexplicably annoyed.

Shi Guijia was playing with her golden hair when she turned her head and found Yang Luoyi looking at her again.

"...Is there something you need?"

"……without."

"Feeling bored? Just bear with it, we'll be there soon."

"Um……"

"...Is there anything else?"

"without……"

"Don't be so afraid of me. I already said I won't yell at you anymore. That was an accident before, so just tell me what you're thinking. How am I supposed to know if you don't tell me?"

"Well……"

"Okay, hurry up and say it. I hate it when people dawdle."

"That……"

Yang Luoyi finally spoke, looking very cautious:

"What kind of person is Dad?"

All the sounds and vibrations disappeared.

The noise outside, the sound of the machine running, and the vibration of the airflow passing over the machine body.

This time, it was Shi Guijia who bowed her head.

Her blonde hair fell down, casting shadows on her face.

"...Didn't you ask your aunt?"

“If I ask, my aunt will get upset, and I don’t want to upset her.”

...What's going on here?

Did you ask your aunt because you didn't want to upset her?

...Clearly, she was the one who was suffering the most.

So cruel, so torturous.

It felt like my heart was being repeatedly cut and rubbed by a knife.

She lived a life of debauchery to avoid this pain.

"...Aren't you afraid I'll be heartbroken?"

"Well……"

Her eyes widened, looking as if she had done something wrong, and she said again, "I'm sorry, I didn't want to upset Mother..."

"..."

There was silence.

After a long pause, Shi Guijia slowly spoke:

"Go ask your aunt. Just tell her that I asked you to ask her. If she's upset, comfort her."

"..."

Shi Guijia looked up and found that Yang Luoyi was still looking at her.

"What's wrong? Just say it."

"……without."

The noise subsided again.

After a long while, Shi Guijia finally heard a weak "I'm sorry" coming from beside her.

--------------------

Shenlong Lake is world-famous for its wishing well. Its surface is calm and serene, like a poem. The green water seems to have been veiled by someone, as thin as a cicada's wing, making people afraid to breathe too deeply, for fear of disturbing this tranquility.

Beside Shenlong Lake, there is a large field of dandelions. Whenever the wind blows, the dandelions fly everywhere, like snow-white flowers.

"...It's so hot."

The sun was high in the sky, and a wave of heat hit her face. Shi Guijia tugged at her clothes in annoyance.

They landed in a field of dandelions, where there was no shade and only vast expanses of light; as far as the eye could see, there was only nature.

The rugged mud road stretches forward, and at its end lies the wishing well of Shenlong Lake.

Yang Luoyi's eyes shone brightly as she looked at the rising dandelions.

"so beautiful!"

is it beautiful?

Shi Guijia fanned herself, but she didn't feel pretty; she only felt an endless heatwave.

But seeing that the little one seemed to like it here, she patted her head and said, "Go play."

Yang Luo nodded vigorously, and then rushed into the embrace of the dandelion.

She has such a vibrant side too...

With these thoughts in mind, Shi Guijia began looking for a place to cool off. After much deliberation, she finally hid under the plane.

"...Shenlong Lake, you know."

A long, long time ago, she and the boy seemed to have come here once before.

"What a ridiculous story. What's so great about a place like this?"

At that time, she was stubborn, but even so, when she and the boy stood in front of the wishing well, she sincerely made her wish.

[Hoping to be together forever]

Unfortunately, it was always a scam.

The world is vast and time changes, just like this dandelion field, which will one day wither and decay.

So-called beauty is only temporary.

So-called happiness is only temporary.

In the shadows, Shi Guijia raised her eyes and watched the little creature happily frolicking in the flower field.

[Was this how I made my wish back then?]

Her gaze followed the end of the road, her mind replaying past events.

Indeed, happiness is only temporary.

Even the two people who love each other most will have to part ways one day, and the deeper the love, the more painful the separation.

"Ah……"

Loneliness was evident in her eyes, and a desire to live a life of debauchery welled up within her.

"It's all just wishful thinking. If it weren't for those things, I wouldn't have so many ideas."

"Eternity, like a miracle, is nothing but a deception."

A lonely sound rang out in the wind, carrying dandelions away into the distance.
