My supermarket is connected to all worlds, and I've won so much money handing it over to the st

Gu Xixi sighed. She had reviewed the dream so many times, but why couldn't she get out and remained trapped in the dream?

She wants to return to the modern world to continue being a trader, serving her country, and taking care of her parents.

She returned to her seat in the prison cart...

After five cycles, Gu Xixi realized the crux of the problem lay in the confession scene in the carriage at the end. There were unusual signs in the sky, but the sky never broke... Her answer remained unchanged... Perhaps, she should change it.

Shen Qingyan is in control of the dream here, but he does not restrict her. In other words, in Shen Qingyan's consciousness, he has no intention of restricting her.

This dream was truly generated from his subconscious; it was real... so she shouldn't have treated it as a dream and said things that weren't true.

Of course, Gu Xixi was just guessing... She heard Shen Qingyan's confession again. After he finished speaking, Gu Xixi's words changed, "Actually, I was lying to you just now. I'm going back soon, but I like the part about you that I didn't lie to you."

“Shen Qingyan, I know it’s hard to like someone. It’s even harder for us because we live in two different worlds. But you have your ideals and ambitions, and I have my own concerns and dreams… Rather than an unattainable love, I would choose my parents and my country.”

Gu Xixi spoke very seriously and solemnly, revealing her truest and most sincere feelings.

"Just like you, if you had to choose, you would definitely choose the people of your world. We... are actually the same."

Because they are alike, they have a tacit understanding and know each other, but they also know that because they are alike... they must give each other up.

Even in dreams!

Shen Qingyan's expression was first one of surprise, then understanding, and then appreciation. He raised his hand in a bow, "Miss Gu is absolutely right. Knowing your intentions, I am already satisfied. I hope we can both get what we want."

The carriage stopped, the two looked at each other and smiled, then simultaneously reached out their hands, clasped them together, and jumped off the carriage.

As the rosy dawn broke, the sky began to shatter like broken glass. The people in the city scattered and fled, while the people in the palace were terrified, screams and whispers filling the air.

This time, the dream is truly about to shatter...

Gu Xixi turned to look at Shen Qingyan and found that there was no panic or doubt in his eyes, as if he had expected all of this.

His eyes were filled with love and reluctance as he looked at her. "Xixi, you're leaving, aren't you..."

His words were spoken with a sense of relief, a profound understanding of everything.

Gu Xixi suddenly felt a chill run down her spine, shocked, "You, you know this is..." a dream or an obsession?

Before she could finish speaking, Shen Qingyan nodded slightly. "I didn't know at first, but I found out during the fourth cycle. I'm sorry, keeping you here for so long was my own selfish reason..."

He silently stepped forward, raising his arm. Gu Xixi shook her head, then walked over and hugged him back, "Shen Qingyan..."

“Xi Xi is very clever. She guessed my feelings, so the dream broke much faster than I expected. In my heart, even I cannot let you live against your true feelings.”

"Xixi, remember to be happy every day. I have achieved my ambitions and ideals. You should also keep up the good work. I will always be by your side. A gentleman keeps his promise."

The whisper in his ear disappeared, and Shen Qingyan released Gu Xixi. "Xixi, until we meet again."

As soon as she finished speaking, countless rays of light scattered and shattered, and Gu Xixi's hands suddenly felt empty. After a blinding white light, she opened her eyes again, wiped away the tears that blurred her vision, and found herself in her modern bedroom and study.

In front of her was a safe, and the tracking device inside was still glowing red.

She cycled through the loop so many times that, in modern time, not even half an hour had passed.

Through her teary eyes, she turned around and saw Shen Qingyan standing right behind her. Within five meters, she saw "Shen Qingyan" and Shen Qingyan's shadow merge together. Gu Xixi squatted down and immediately picked up the cauldron.

Facing "Shen Qingyan," she suddenly pressed the button under the cauldron. The surrounding scenery remained unchanged, and Shen Qingyan in front of her also remained unchanged... Gu Xixi suddenly smiled.

It's within its effective time frame now.

If she was 99% certain before that the system was Shen Qingyan, then now she is 1000% certain that it is!

It doesn't matter why he doesn't admit it. Anyone can call him by that name. As long as she knows that he is him, that's enough.

She had made mistakes before because of fear, worry, and everything else. Now, she was Niu Gulu Gu Xixi, and she would fight hard for what she wanted this time.

Shen Qingyan smiled as if they were meeting for the first time. He cupped his hands and said, "Miss Xixi, welcome back. Just now, you were taken into the dream world of the Three Thousand Worlds. The dream world stores everyone's regrets, obsessions, and hopes... and naturally, Shen Qingyan's as well."

It really was a dream!

Gu Xixi laughed, her eyes smug, and casually put the cauldron aside. "Didn't you say you'd always be by my side? Why can't I find you in the dream world?"

Shen Qingyan did not answer; everything was understood without words.

Gu Xixi didn't press for an answer; she already knew the answer.

"Even when you weren't there, I was smart enough to figure it out, and I broke the deadlock in just seven cycles. Pretty impressive, right? But it was a bit tiring. I did the same lines and the same thing seven times. I almost threw up."

"I need to get a good night's sleep. You sit here with me." Gu Xixi walked to the bedside, lay down, and covered herself with the blanket.

As Shen Qingyan drew near, she reached out and took his hand, resting her face in his palm before closing her eyes.

Shen Qingyan clenched his fist helplessly with his other hand. He sat sideways on the chair by the bed. "Sleep. I'll stay with you and won't leave."

Gu Xixi chuckled softly, her captivating gaze meeting Shen Qingyan's smiling eyes. Shen Qingyan immediately straightened his face again, reverting to his aloof and dignified demeanor.

Gu Xixi's smile widened. She said nothing, simply adjusted her sleeping position, closed her eyes, and fell asleep.

The moment she closed her eyes and was still smiling, "Shen Qingyan" also lowered her eyes and chuckled softly.

Gu's parents, who had originally planned to go upstairs to call Gu Xixi for dinner, witnessed the whole thing and were relieved, so they immediately stepped back.

Aunt Gu laughed, covered Gu's father's mouth, dragged him downstairs, and shouted in a breathy voice that only the two of them could hear, "Go, go, don't disturb us."

"It's so good, although... it's really good!"

"Mmm, let go. I can't talk and bother you. You almost made me cry. Let's go back. Xixi doesn't need us to stay with her." Gu's father broke free and chuckled.
