The nth time I met my puppet

Zhongli seemed to have noticed this as well, so he did not suppress it directly with force, but instead treated it as a competition.

Wan Nan probably just wanted to beat up that green-haired guy, but considering many factors, Zhongli still didn't plan to let them meet.

Although Wan Nan was trying to vent her anger, she was initially worried about hurting someone so she held back. However, it was not until halfway through the fight that she realized that even if she tried her best, she could not hurt Zhongli at all.

Her rock element couldn't even break Zhongli's shield, and in the end she was exhausted, while Zhongli still looked calm and composed.

Wan Nan was stunned.

Even if a scattered soldier fought with her like this, he couldn't be so calm.

Zhongli still looked calm and composed, as if he were more suitable to be enjoying a cup of tea. Wan Nan was momentarily distracted, her intuition telling her that the guy in front of her, named Zhongli, was definitely not an ordinary person.

"If you have calmed down, please listen to what I have to say for now."

Seeing Wan Nan calm down, Zhongli began to reason with her, otherwise someone who was emotional would not listen.

Wan Nan pursed her lips tightly. After venting her anger, she had calmed down.

"Cher's departure was not anyone's wish. Now that things have come to this, no one will choose to give up. However, reckless impulses will only make the current situation worse."

"I know... I know everything. I know it's not his fault, but I just can't help but want to blame him. I just can't accept it..."

She paused for a long time before speaking in a disappointed tone.

"Sorry for causing you any trouble."

In fact, anyone could see that Wan Nan's original intention might just be to beat him up, but no one knew whether this would trigger a series of chain reactions.

Wan Nan was silent. After the anger, he felt depressed.

She suddenly felt very tired, both physically and mentally.

She was so tired, she just wanted to have a good sleep.

It doesn't matter if she doesn't sleep, as long as she can have a moment's rest——

She only felt her eyelids suddenly become heavy. Under the impact of great sadness and fatigue, she finally couldn't hold on any longer and fainted.

Like a kite that has lost the last bit of wind to support it, it suddenly stops and falls.

later…

After Wan Nan woke up, he seemed to go crazy all of a sudden.

She raised her hands blankly, crying and laughing.

She said she saw Xueer and that Xueer agreed to go home with her.

She said that she saw Xue'er following behind her and sweetly calling her "sister" as she used to, and she responded with a smile as she used to, but no matter who saw it, it seemed that she was the only one talking to herself.

It was as if nothing had happened, and Wan Nan seemed to have forgotten everything that happened before he fell into a coma.

After Xue'er left, the two people who loved her the most went mad in the same way. The girl who was originally meant to be happy, became like a curse called obsession.

Zhongli fell silent.

It’s over, another one is crazy.

Please be kind to the elderly and widowed people in the world. It’s already distressing enough that one has gone crazy, and now another one comes.

Sanbing felt distressed and helpless when he saw Wannan's appearance.

"Would you... like to stay?"

His tone still had a certain inhumanity to it, but he was actually pleading.

The paw pads of a ferocious cat are actually soft.

Wan Nan was still talking to himself at this time. When he heard Sanbing's words, he was stunned for a moment, as if he had regained some clarity, and then shook his head with a wry smile.

“…Sorry, it’s too late to edit…”

In fact, neither of them was wrong, but there was no room for maneuver between them, and the decision made could not be changed.

Because of the mission, she missed the opportunity to meet Xueer, and because of going home, she missed the chance to stay in this world with her lover and family.

"Asan... it's too late, everything is too late, it's too late for anything, I missed her, and I missed you."

It was no longer a choice at this moment, but she was powerless to change it.

Sanbing was suddenly stunned for a moment. He thought... Wannan had gone completely crazy. She never mentioned what happened that day again, as if it had never happened. He thought that she had been traumatized and had forgotten about it.

But in fact, she didn't forget. She remembered everything, but just stopped mentioning it and pretended to forget, deceiving herself.

She even knew that everything she saw was an illusion. She hadn't forgotten anything, but was just falling into unconsciousness. As long as she could still be seen, did it matter how she was seen?

"I'm going home...even if it's not home anymore, I'm going back."

Sanbing pursed his lips, tightly grasped Wannan's hand, his eyes full of reluctance.

This day has finally come.

"Goodbye... but there's no chance to see you again..."

She was finally going home, which should have been the thing she had been looking forward to the most, but now it seemed so sad.

At this moment, she has nothing. Her lover and her family are all left in this world.

Only she was going home, back to the home that was no longer home.

Wan Nan hugged San Bing tightly, but her body once again turned into starlight as before.

"I love you... I want to stay. I can't bear to leave you and Xue'er, but it's too late."

The starlight became increasingly transparent until it disappeared.

The scattered soldiers looked at the increasingly thin starlight, unable to stop it.

【May we all move towards a better future】

He once calmed down, put aside all the teasing and teasing, and thought about Wan Nan's cheek.

The sunlight was bright, and the angles at which it shone on the two people seemed carefully arranged.

That was a long, long time ago.

The closest distance to happiness is also the farthest distance, probably just a breath away.

He had imagined their future.

But fate never forgives them.

The two people finally parted ways when they were very close to the transfer point, running towards a position that was unreachable and where even seeing each other was a luxury.

(End of full text)

There are too many regrettable things in this world.

May we all move towards betterment, which is what they all hope for.

So is Wan Nan, so is San Bing, so is Yan Le, and so is Yan Lin.

They are all making every effort for the ideals in their hearts. They are obviously trying their best to make the results turn out to be the beautiful results they expect in their hearts.

But in the end, he couldn't resist the tricks of fate.

Wan Nan gave everything he had just to stick to the only idea in his heart, but in the end all his efforts were in vain.

A slight change of mind made her and Xue'er miss each other forever.

Sanbing tried to persuade her to stay again and again, but he couldn't stop her from leaving, and in the end he left nothing behind.

Yan Lin and Wan Nan were like reflections in the water. In the end, he was unable to return home. Everything hinted at the final outcome.

Yanle is probably the luckiest person among them.

At least, she pursued it all her life.

After all, I found Wan Nan at the last moment, so it wasn't a disappointment.

At the last moment, she also retained everything she didn't want to forget.

So she is the luckiest person.

I had this story in mind from the very beginning. I wanted to write about a situation where everyone had tried their best, but the ending was not satisfactory.
