Chapter 122 I Want to Be a Good Dad (The End)
Jingli was very happy.
The two haven't changed much in their relationship dynamics since they confirmed it, but Jingli is still very happy.
This feeling is similar to that after I was with Ruan Qinglan in the previous world, but there are subtle differences.
This difference comes from himself.
In the previous world, Jingli and Ruan Qinglan were in the same group for ten years and were an official couple. Although Ruan Qinglan never explicitly said it during their idol careers, Jingli had become accustomed to their way of getting along during the promotional process.
The thin veil between Ruan Qinglan and him was so fragile that it didn't even need to be pierced. The reason why the two of them took so long to get together was both because of their responsibility to their fans and because of Ruan Qinglan's cherishing of Jingli and her naivety.
The change in their relationship didn't make much difference to Jingli, because Ruan Qinglan had long been someone who transcended all other relationships in his heart.
Their relationship developed naturally.
But the world is different.
Jingli inexplicably took on the role of "father" (Jingli still doesn't understand the difference between "little dad" and "dad"), and imitated 6058, taking the initiative to take on the responsibility of "taking care" of Fu Zichu.
At this time, Fu Zichu did not fully trust Jingli. He regarded Jingli as prey, but in the long-term repressive environment, a strange possessiveness emerged. This possessiveness, mixed with vigilance against the outside world, formed a more bizarre emotion, planting a seed in Fu Zichu's heart.
Subsequently, Fu Zichu, who considered himself a hunter, exposed his weakness in the shadows, and Jingli repeatedly rescued him from the mire.
Fu Zichu began to trust Jingli, but at the same time, he discovered that this cage that belonged to him could not contain Jingli.
He longed to leave, but was also filled with fear.
He hadn't left this place in too long, he had nothing, and he didn't want Jingli to leave.
His hidden paranoia gradually came to light, but Jingli not only didn't care about it, but also tolerated it to the extreme.
Fu Zichu kept trying to test Jingli's bottom line, but he was afraid that doing so would push Jingli away. He was stuck in a rut, unable to be ruthless, yet unable to let go.
Their relationship gradually changed amidst this tug-of-war.
Jingli met many people in this world—masters who were both teachers and friends, the two deans of Angel House, comrades from the Security Bureau, school teachers, classmates, mentors, fellow disciples...
But Fu Zichu was completely different to him, and he could feel that difference.
Especially after he came into contact with the spirit of the aborted fetus, he began to feel the love of "family".
That was different from his feelings for Fu Zichu.
It was from this point that Jingli began to rethink his relationship with Fu Zichu, and even with Ruan Qinglan in the previous world.
It was a very warm and gentle feeling that always made Jingli feel warm and comforted.
The fact that the two have spent so little time together in recent years has actually allowed their relationship to mature.
When Fu Zichu gave away that ring, Jingli also found the answer.
He thought of Lu Mingguang and 6058.
They are each other's bond, whether it's the gentle flow of the past world or the mutual healing in this world.
[Keiri: My connection with this world seems to have deepened.]
[Lu Xiaoming: That's right, they're starting to date with marriage in mind.]
Jingli didn't detect the sourness in Lu Mingguang's tone and continued:
[Keiri: This world is warm and comfortable right now.]
[6058: The outlier rate is already very low; we should be leaving this world soon.]
Jingli lowered her eyes, feeling somewhat reluctant to part.
6058 sighed.
[6058: You will meet again in the next world. After everything is over, you will be able to see Mr. Yuan's true form, instead of being reborn into his body.]
“To me, they weren’t just ‘devoting themselves’.” Jingli’s eyelashes drooped slightly, casting a shadow. “Mommy, do you think he’ll still remember me then?”
Since it was difficult for the turtle to touch Jingli's body, he simply created his physical form in the virtual space, and Jingli also tacitly transformed herself into the virtual space.
Compared to before, Keiri's original form has grown a bit more, but she still looks like a child.
6058 looked at the chubby little dumpling in front of her with exceptionally gentle eyes.
He pulled Jingli into his arms.
"He will definitely remember you; you are very important to him."
·
The world is gradually returning to normal.
Jingli later made a few more movies, not frequently, but she tried out a variety of roles.
He enjoys experiencing different lives through various means, and in the process, he continuously learns about different emotions and understands the diversity of people.
Of course, he didn't stop working with the masters to handle their commissions, and now he's quite adept at using the energy within his body.
Fu Zichu's startup project caught the wave of opportunity when he graduated from university, and the company expanded significantly. He was indeed exceptionally talented in this area, and although there were some minor ups and downs, the final results were quite impressive.
When Fu Zichu graduated with a master's degree, his company expanded from renting three floors of an office building to buying an entire building.
As for the funds used to buy the property, part of it came from Dream Island—formerly known as the Island of Life.
Jiang Yuanqi initially wanted to trap Fu Zichu on the island for life, and at the same time, in order to distance himself from the sordid things he had done on the island, the island was registered under Fu Zichu's name—formerly Jiang Zichu's name.
After Fu Zichu left the island with the others, the island was temporarily taken over by the Security Bureau for a series of follow-up actions. Later, after an assessment determined that Fu Zichu posed no threat to society, the island's disposal was returned to Fu Zichu.
Instead of selling the island, Fu Zichu renamed it Dreamland, rebuilding it and opening it to the public.
When the park reopened, some people complained about the name, but Fu Zichu didn't change it. For him, this island, this park, had become his true dreamland because of Jingli and the dream Jingli gave him.
The island that once imprisoned him, a paradise that nurtured demons, has, under his construction, become a true dreamland—a bustling paradise that has stepped out of that dream and become reality.
On the first year after the park opened—Fu Zichu's birthday—Jingli and Fu Zichu returned to the island once again.
On this day, Dreamland was open all night.
As midnight approached, Fu Zichu took Jingli onto the Ferris wheel.
Jingli had already anticipated what would happen.
After all, the time point that Fu Zichu chose was exactly the same as that of Ruan Qinglan back then.
As the Ferris wheel reached its apex, fireworks lit up the sky.
Fu Zichu took out the diamond ring box and asked cautiously:
Can our relationship take things to the next level?
Jingli took the ring from him and held up one finger.
"Blow out the candles and make a wish!"
Under the glow of the fireworks, the contours of his face appeared even softer. Fu Zichu gently took that finger, blew on it lightly, and kissed the fingertip.
Fu Zichu made a wish in his heart:
—I want to spend the rest of my life with you.
Then, he heard Jingli's voice:
"Now, your wish has come true."
