Suddenly, a torrential downpour began outside, and the crabapple blossoms in the backyard were knocked to the ground by the rain. Jieyuhua didn't touch the fried dough sticks, letting the rain fall on them. His gaze was fixed on the rouge box that had been broken into three pieces on the table, his fingernails stained with half-dried cinnabar, but his thoughts had already drifted away.
The rain only began to stop towards the afternoon. Xie Yuhua, dressed in thin clothes, sat by the window all morning until Cheng Yu came and noticed him.
"Mr. Xie, the master will be very pleased to know how much you miss him." Cheng Yu put the crabapple blossoms in the vase and then tidied up the mess in the room.
"It's a pity he doesn't remember anything." Jieyuhua replied subconsciously before coming to her senses and said, "Let's go back. I'll clean up here in a bit."
Cheng Yu was taken aback for a moment, then looked at the begonia flowers in the vase and said, "These begonia flowers are in season. If the master sees them, he might be so happy that he will come back. The master loves flowers the most." He said this out of the blue, not caring whether Xie Yuhua understood him or not. He wiped the table a couple more times before leaving somewhat reluctantly.
"The crabapple blossom season..." Xieyuhua muttered, following his words, then her eyes brightened as she said, "It's spring!"
Xie Yuhua sighed, thinking about Cheng Yu's reminder. Could it be that, as he predicted, the illusion was only exited by time? In the same amount of time, he could return? But why was he suddenly pulled into the illusion? This illusion must want him to do something, which is why the first illusion was chanted, and the first person he met in both illusions was Hei Xiazi. This shouldn't be a coincidence.
His thoughts gradually became clearer, and Xie Yuhua's mood also improved considerably. He got up and walked towards the bathroom, genuinely curious about his current disheveled state.
He opened the bathroom door and looked in the mirror, but something felt off. He suddenly turned his head towards the bathtub and sure enough, there was something dark sticking out of the tub. Based on his extensive experience, it looked like a human head.
Xie Yuhua grabbed a towel and approached. The bathtub was almost full, and a male corpse lay inside. Because it was submerged in water, only half of its head was sticking out, and its waterlogged hair was stuck to its face. Xie Yuhua used the towel to pull the hair away, revealing Ling Xiao's face. Xie Yuhua's pupils suddenly contracted, and she reached out to push all the hair away from his face.
Even though he knew it was all fake, he still couldn't help feeling sad. This wasn't the first time this had happened, and he should have developed some resistance by now, but his heart still ached uncontrollably, and he felt an indescribable sense of grievance. In the end, he didn't even realize that he was actually holding a child's corpse in the illusion and crying.
He pulled the child's body out of the bathtub. Since he was in a dream world, he decided to immerse himself in it. Children should always look their best, so he cleaned the child, changed him into brand-new clothes, and even gave the child a haircut himself.
He placed the child's body upright on the chair, then pushed the door facing him towards the room, hoping the next person would open it and come in.
He wasn't crazy, of course. He just wanted to achieve his goal of creating this illusion through such means. Otherwise, he was afraid he wouldn't be able to find reality if he kept changing illusions. Now he wanted to take the initiative and not put himself in a passive position.
