Chapter 1129 A Passerby Cannon Fodder in an Infinite Flow Dimension (Part 52)
As soon as Miaomiao finished speaking, Xie Chenzhou, who was still immersed in Miaomiao's embrace, instantly dropped to freezing point. All the tenderness in his eyes disappeared, leaving only a bone-chilling coldness and an almost perverted possessiveness.
How could he allow this filthy game to covet his girl with such despicable means?
Originally, he only wanted to send Miaomiao away as soon as possible, but now he was filled with a violent urge to destroy the entire mirror world. His knuckles were clenched so tightly that they cracked, and he was itching to settle scores with the game right away.
He instinctively tried to tighten his arms to hug Miaomiao back, but the burn on his arm was touched, and he couldn't help but gasp in pain.
The muffled thud made Miaomiao immediately release him, look at his arm in confusion, and reach out to roll up his sleeve.
"What's wrong? Does your wound hurt?"
Xie Chenzhou tried to stop him, but he was too late. His sleeve was rolled up, and the wound that should have been gradually healing was now showing a hideous, corrosive appearance. The skin was red and black, clearly burned by strong acid, which was completely different from the previous knife wound.
Miaomiao's face turned pale instantly; this wound wasn't from the previous group fight.
Xie Chenzhou suppressed the excruciating pain from his wound, using it as a way to show weakness.
He carefully grasped Miaomiao's hand, the warmth of his palm enveloping her fingertips, his voice low and husky yet filled with undeniable firmness.
"Miaomiao, this is nothing serious. As long as we stay here, we will inevitably face harm to each other."
So, Miaomiao, you should leave this place first and meet up with your brother.
Now it's my turn to fight alone. Please, wait for me.
There was a barely perceptible plea in his tone, a fear that she would refuse, yet also a fear that he wouldn't be able to hold back and keep her.
As he spoke, he reached into his pocket with his other hand and took out three Warrior Stars that shimmered faintly—these were the ones he had just won from the Balance Game. Together with the seven that Miao Miao had hidden in her pocket, that made a total of ten.
Knowing that Miaomiao was used to carrying important things with her, he carefully put the star into her pocket, deliberately stroking her waist with his fingertips, as if marking it or comforting her.
"There are three here, which makes a total of ten. They will take you back to your original world."
Before Miaomiao could react, Xie Chenzhou pulled her into a tight embrace once more.
This time, however, he showed no restraint. His strength was so great that it seemed he wanted to knead her into his very bones, and to pour all the infatuation, possessiveness, and reluctance hidden in his heart into this embrace.
He didn't say "I like you," nor "I can't bear to part with you," but this heavy yet passionate embrace was enough for Miaomiao to clearly feel the feelings he had never expressed...
Everything happened quickly and precisely; Miaomiao became the second player in the Mirror World to obtain ten Warrior Stars.
When the white light suddenly exploded, Miaomiao subconsciously closed her eyes, only to feel the slightly sticky embrace that had been holding her suddenly disappear.
When she opened her eyes again, a faint smell of disinfectant filled her nostrils. What came into view was the familiar white ceiling of the hospital ward, and her parents' slightly worried faces.
She moved her fingers, her mind went blank for a moment, but then all the memories returned to her.
This relieved her somewhat.
She should have had her game memories erased upon leaving the mirror world, just like other departing players. But perhaps she herself was a bug in this world; at least, she became an exception at this moment.
"Miaomiao, you're finally awake! How are you feeling? Is anything bothering you?"
When the mother saw that Miaomiao had finally woken up, she immediately took her hand. The anxiety in her voice subsided slightly, but her eyes were still full of heartache.
Her father stood to the side, saying little, but constantly looking her over to make sure she was alright.
Miaomiao gently shook her head, her gaze sweeping over the clock in the ward, a sense of bewilderment rising in her heart.
The time flow rate between the mirror world and one's own world is 30 to 1. Therefore, eight unforgettable days may have passed in the mirror world, but only seven hours may have passed in the real world.
But those seven hours unexpectedly allowed Miaomiao to accumulate an astonishing fortune.
It's worth hundreds of millions...
The money would be legally transferred to her name within seven days. It was true that fortune favors the bold, but Miaomiao didn't want to go through that again.
The joy brought by ample wealth could not suppress the lingering hesitation in Miaomiao's heart.
All her thoughts now involuntarily drift back to the moment before she left.
Xie Chenzhou's embrace at that moment was too forceful, so strong that it seemed as if he wanted to knead her bones and blood together with his own. That sticky, confining feeling created a strange sense of disconnect between his peaceful and gentle treatment of her over the past eight days.
Especially the final kiss he placed on his forehead...
"Miaomiao, what are you daydreaming about?"
Her mother's voice pulled her back to reality, her tone tinged with reproach.
"Mom has already heard about what happened last night from your brother and knows you're upset. It's just that your confession failed, right?"
It's no big deal. Mom will introduce you to even better-looking boys in the next couple of days.
He's an excellent person, and we can't put all our eggs in one basket. Promise me, the outside world is much more exciting.
Miaomiao was taken aback when she heard this, and then belatedly realized that she had just been rejected after confessing her feelings before being pulled into the mirror world.
She originally thought it would remain a secret, but her older brother was her best brother in the mirror world. After leaving that world and returning to reality, he became quite the gossip.
He told the story of a dead company in a very interesting way.
Her parents probably thought she fainted because she was rejected after confessing her feelings.
Although somewhat unreliable, her parents could be quite imaginative when it came to their children.
Miaomiao opened her mouth, but it seemed she didn't have anything to explain.
Normally, when Xie Chenzhou returned, he would still have the same mindset of rejecting her. Therefore, their relationship was rather awkward, that of a failed admirer and an unrequited admirer who rejected her advances.
As for the fact that he seems to treat me a little differently, perhaps it's a mutation that occurred under the pressure of the mirror world, a pressure environment that can drive people to madness.
For some reason, Miaomiao didn't want to know too much about the truth.
