Chapter 15 I Become You

"What does it mean to marry someone?"

Just when Xia Mu was numb by Eri Yi's question, a new question appeared in the notebook.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

Erika didn't understand anything, so don't take what she just said seriously.

He thought for a while, looked at her pure and ignorant little face, and said softly: "Simply put, if you look at any boy and feel comfortable, you will want to marry him. From now on, the two of you will be together for the rest of your life." Stay together and never be apart."

Erika's eyes lit up.

"Sounds great!" she wrote in her notebook.

But the next moment she showed a confused expression again, and wrote: "But... do you even have to go to the bathroom together? It feels, it feels so strange."

Xia Mu: "..."

"Just now when you touched my hand, something strange came out of your body."

Erika began to write again.

Xia Mu was a bit square: "What... came out..."

Erika held up the notebook: "It feels very bloated."

Xia Mu rubbed his temples: "I also feel a little pain."

"try again."

Erika put down the notebook, stretched out her right index finger, and held it in front of his eyes.

Slender finger bones like green jade, white and soft fingertips.

There was an innocent gleam in her large eyes, nothing but curiosity.

Presumably the heartbeat won't speed up either.

Xia Mu took a deep breath, raised his right hand, stretched out his index finger, and touched her lightly.

"Boom!"

Like a drop of water falling into a lake, or like a shooting star lighting up the starry sky, the ripples are quickly released in the body, transmitted along the nervous system to the brain, and set off a violent reaction.

The movements of the two were completely frozen, and the eyes that looked at each other lost focus, and their eyes were slack.

The ocean of memory seems to be flooding, completely submerging their minds.

Many pictures, countless experiences, emerge without warning.

Xia Mu saw the past of 'himself', or in other words, the past of Eri Yi.

This is a story of finding light in the dark.

Probably since she was very young, she understood that she was different from others, everyone kept a distance from her, and the world was far away from her.

In the worldview shaped by anime and games, she looked at the world and trembled.

Because the world doesn't like her, she is the little monster destined to be wiped out by the righteous Ultraman.

Life is a countdown to her, and she doesn't know when everything will be taken away.

She guards the small world she owns so carefully, looking for a little bit of warm light from life, and then, waiting for her own destiny.

A claustrophobic hut, regular infusions, watching anime alone, playing games alone, taking a bath alone, and being in a daze alone...

She is well-behaved and sensible, except for the occasional playfulness, she will not upset her family, or dare not.

Because she longs to be loved.

Completely substituted into her life, Xia Mu felt a deep despair.

There is no future, no hope, the world has nothing to do with her, quietly waiting to curl up in a corner, waiting for the end of fate.

In comparison, the life he exchanged for her was much better.

Although she was born in an orphanage and has no true love, at least she has the support of tens of millions of fans, which is also a comfort.

Xia Mu gradually recovered from the pain in his brain, as if he was in a trance after reading a novel.

Feeling wet on his face, he reached out to touch it, only to find that he had shed tears at some point.

In the other hand, he held a notebook filled with lines of lyrics.

He couldn't remember the details anymore, he only remembered that he was getting more and more sad in the vortex of memory, and that kind of grief couldn't be expressed, so he finally picked up the notebook.

The title of the song is "Servant が Death のうと思ったのは".

Translated into Chinese, I once thought about it too.

A song that brought down the suicide rate in Japan at that time to the lowest in history in a previous life.

It fits Xia Mu's mood when he saw Erika's life.

He raised his eyes and looked at Erika.

I saw her eyes slowly focusing, and slowly, teardrops slipped from the corners of her eyes.

"What's wrong with you?" Xia Mu asked softly.

Erika curled up her legs, clasped her knees tightly with both hands, and there were big tears falling from her eyes.

"So lonely."

She wrote to Xia Mu in her notebook: "I feel so lonely."

Xia Mu's heart twitched: "Why? Do you still remember yourself? Did you also get a brand new memory?"

According to his understanding of the exchange of fate lines, both he and Erika should forget their original experiences and regard the new memories as real.

But he obviously hasn't forgotten it, and he doesn't know if it's because of time travel or something else.

Now, what worries him the most is that Erika has forgotten everything.

Erika raised her eyes blankly: "I..."

Xia Mu was shocked.

Erika spoke, and it wasn't Japanese, it was "I" in Chinese!
At the same time, he noticed that the "so lonely" she wrote in her notebook also subconsciously used Chinese.

"You also have that memory, don't you? Then do you remember who you are?" He asked quickly.

Erika looked at him with teary eyes, nodded, then shook her head again.

Xia Mu rolled his eyes.

"You have that memory, but you forgot who you are?" he asked again.

Erika shook her head, then nodded again.

Xia Mu: "..."

"Do you remember Yuan Zhisheng?" He thought for a while and asked.

"He's... brother."

Erika's voice was soft and ethereal, and could easily soothe restless moods.

Xia Mu nodded: "Did you see another life of yourself just now?"

Erika leaned her chin on her knees and said in a low voice, "Hmm... so lonely."

"Lonely?"

Xia Mu scratched his head: "It's okay, being a big star, many people like it, don't you feel happy?"

He originally thought that his life was a kind of comfort and redemption for Erika, after all, it was a world she had never seen before.

But Erika just shook her head, and said softly: "I don't understand what it was like, I just feel lonely, and that kind of memory makes me feel lonely."

Xia Mu was silent.

He didn't expect that Erika's pure heart couldn't understand such memories, she was just feeling, this kind of feeling went beyond the appearance and went straight to the heart.

He is indeed alone.

Traveling to this strange world, having no father and no mother, and stepping into Vanity Fair early, he failed to establish any intimate relationship. The fans' likes are just floating clouds, and what they like are only their idols, not him himself.

"What happened to me?" Erika asked uncertainly.

Xia Mu looked into her eyes and said softly: "We have been trapped by a language spirit that has not been fully released. In the eyes of others, our identities have been exchanged. You have become me and I have become you, but in The two of us have not changed here, but there is an extra memory of each other."

Erika looked at him with a silly expression.

"I became you?"
