Three questions every day after traveling through a book: Has your character been ruined today?

Chapter 115 The Law of Forgetting

Meng Yuan was originally lazily relaxing because of the excessive exercise just now.

Hearing Lu Yanli's words, he suddenly came to his senses, "Could it be "A Little Thing Called Love"? "

"Huh? How come..." Halfway through the question, Lu Yanli suddenly realized, "They also sent you an invitation?"

Meng Yuan nodded in Lu Yanli's arms, then said, "But I refused."

Lu Yanli had a look of understanding, "I knew it, is it because Bai Lian is one of the guests to be invited?"

Meng Yuan nodded again, then turned to look at Lu Yanli and asked, "What about you? Did you agree or refuse?"

Lu Yanli raised his hand and rubbed Meng Yuan's head, then asked with amusement, "The program invites attractive couples to date, but you don't even want to go. Am I supposed to date the air?"

Sensing the evasion in the other party's tone, Meng Yuan bit her lip, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Do you want to go?"

After a long while, Lu Yanli finally spoke in the darkness, but it seemed that he was not answering the question:

"I really want everyone to know that you are my wife."

"Ever since we got together, I couldn't stop showing off to others. I just wanted everyone to know that you, who are so outstanding, are my girlfriend."

"I just want everyone to know how much I love you and how good our relationship is."

As Lu Yanli spoke, he tightened his arms around Meng Yuan, rested his chin on the top of her head, and with a very possessive posture, he held the other person in his arms.

"However," Lu Yanli continued, "I also know that the world we live in now is not the familiar world we grew up in."

"In this world, we are all responsible for our own destiny and cannot do whatever we want. Besides, you are a celebrity by profession. If you rashly make your relationship public, it may also affect your career."

Although the house purchased by Meng Yuan and Lu Yanli was not in the suburbs, it was quiet in the midst of a bustling city. It was late at night and all they could hear was the wind blowing through the leaves and the occasional chirping of cicadas and birds.

The sky is dotted with stars, and the moonlight shines on the two of them. It has no warmth, but gives people a layer of gentle brilliance.

Perhaps the current atmosphere is very suitable for thinking about major life events.

Meng Yuan couldn't help but think back to how she and Lu Yanli met and fell in love before she traveled through the book, and recalled the sweet past they had spent together at that time. But as she thought about it, Meng Yuan couldn't help but frown, feeling as if she had forgotten something.

Then, Meng Yuan couldn't help but think of all the things they had experienced together after coming to the world of the novel, and all the things Lu Yanli had done for her, both openly and secretly.

The experiences of the two worlds seem to be distinct, but in Meng Yuan's memory they are intertwined. There are even a few moments when Meng Yuan can't tell whether they are in the novel or outside the novel.

This made Meng Yuan feel a sense of inexplicable panic.

Looking at the lights in the distance that merged with the stars, Meng Yuan suddenly asked:

"You said, can we return to our original world?"

"If you can go back, how can you go back?"

"If we can't go back, do we have to live here forever?"

Since she came from a book, she has been labeled as the second female villain. Meng Yuan has always lived with the mentality of earning one day at a time.

Even with Lu Yanli's company, and even though there were a few brief moments when she wanted to break free from the control of the God of Plot, most of the time, Meng Yuan still lived in fear of being dominated by the plot.

Afraid of conflict with Bai Lian, afraid of contact with people related to Bai Lian, afraid of being on a dating show, afraid that one day, Lu Yanli will be with Bai Lian due to force majeure of the plot.

Usually I am either busy with work or there are always various emergencies to deal with. My mind is filled with all kinds of messy things every day, and it is rare for me to have time to calm down and think like I do now.

The days passed by so quickly, one by one, and now I realize that I have been here for almost a year.

Meng Yuan suddenly remembered that the God of Plot had never told her how to return to her original world.

What if she wanted to fulfill her mission as the second female lead? Meng Yuan couldn't imagine that she would push Lu Yanli towards Bai Lian with her own hands.

Does that mean there's no going back?

If I can't go back, will I live here for the rest of my life?

Do I have to live in fear like this forever, having this shameful relationship with Lu Yanli?

I don't want to.

Meng Yuan said to himself in his heart.

In this relationship, not only Lu Yanli has the desire to share and show off, but Meng Yuan also has it.

Lu Yanli is not someone who is not presentable, and the relationship between him and the other party should not be shameful.

In addition to this, Meng Yuan discovered that something even more serious had happened to him.

So Meng Yuan spoke again:

"I've been here for almost a year, but in fact, during this year, I have hardly felt that I am a real person living here."

"I feel like I'm in a holographic game. I'm an NPC who has awakened to self-awareness. I want to be free and live the life I want, but I'm always trapped in the constraints of the rules."

"After a long time, I even began to doubt. Am I really me? Are you really you? Does the book-traveling in my memory really exist? Or is the so-called book-traveling just our absurd dream, and we here now are the real us?"

"Yan Li, you know what? I recently realized that I seem to have forgotten what color the curtains were before we transmigrated into the book, and I can't remember how many pots of flowers there were on the balcony."

"I forgot what I said to my parents the last time I called them, and I also forgot the name of the restaurant we agreed to go to the next day after getting the marriage certificate."

Lu Yanli opened his mouth and wanted to tell Meng Yuan, but he found that he could not remember what Meng Yuan said.

Lu Yanli smiled self-deprecatingly and sighed with disappointment.

Time is the most ruthless and terrifying thing. No one can stop the passage of time, and no one can resist the natural law of forgetting.

The brain stores some things, so it naturally lets go of some things.

Let go of the seemingly insignificant, trivial things.

For example, what color the curtains are in that distant world, the layout of the coffee table, the favorite restaurant, what the matchmaker looked like...

Even if two people have been together and their feelings for each other seem to have not changed, the small details that witnessed the growth of their relationship disappear little by little as time goes by.

And this is just the beginning. After that, more important things will be forgotten.

At this moment, Meng Yuan finally faced her inner self calmly: "I can't accept that I have forgotten everything that happened between us."

Realizing that the sweet memories of the two of them were gradually fading away was more unbearable than pushing Lu Yanli to someone else.

"Lu Yanli, let's go to "A Little Thing Called Love"!"

At the end of the day, Meng Yuan said: "Bring back our past memories."
