With the experience of escaping for the first time,
She stepped out of the door again,
It also became easier.
Culolo showed a gentle attitude as usual, as if he didn't care about Su Yu's escape at all, no matter which direction she went,
When it was close to dinner time, he would always appear beside her without any warning and extend a hand to her.
"It's time to go home."
Su Yu also knew very well that it was impossible for her to escape from his side now,
And she couldn't leave just like that. No matter what,
The key was still with him.
But her actions had also become bolder,
The first time, she had to hide in the room and carefully climb out. After testing several times that Culolo really wouldn't get angry, she simply walked out of the door.
And even though he clearly knew all the girl's movements, Culolo didn't have the slightest intention of stopping her,
He even prepared a large amount of cash in the living room,
It didn't matter how far she ran.
Anyway, no matter where she went,
He would always find her at about the same time.
With the support of the economy, Su Yu could go to more places. She even boarded an airship to different areas. In this world where the security measures were not high..,
In this world, a person like Su Yu who didn't have an identity card,
There was nothing inconvenient about it.
The first time she took an airship..,
The place she chose was too far away. Before the airship reached its destination, Culolo appeared thousands of meters in the air like magic. Sometimes, Su Yu even suspected that this man had been following her since she left the house, but this conjecture was quickly rejected by her.
Compared to her, Culolo had mastered a large number of magical telekinesis abilities. There was definitely no lack of them to deal with this kind of situation. It should be a very simple matter for him to find her.
She studied the map of the nearby area and was surprised to find that the sky arena was not far from here. If she woke up early and took an airship, she would be able to arrive in less than half a day.
Since she was already here, how could she not go and take a look? The next day, Su Yu boarded the airship to the Sky Arena.
No matter what time it was, the Sky Arena was always a popular tourist attraction. Every day, there would be an endless stream of airships coming and going. Su Yu walked down the airship with the crowd. Today, she was wearing a big straw hat and sunglasses. At first glance, she really did look like she was out for a vacation.
Although she tried to cover it up, it didn't stop the girl from being the center of attention. From time to time, passersby would stop and look back, imagining what kind of outstanding face was hidden under the hood. After going out alone many times, Su Yu had gradually become accustomed to the feeling of being noticed. She didn't care, and even showed a bright smile to the passersby.
When she passed by a dessert shop, she saw two familiar figures through the window. Only then did Su Yu remember that it was about time for the story to develop to this point.
She stopped in front of the door for a moment, then pushed the door open and went in. She declined the waiter's offer to arrange a seat for her. Su Yu walked straight to the two young men sitting in the corner.
A young man with a black hedgehog head was happily talking about something. Opposite him, a young man with a head full of fluffy silver hair was immersed in the desserts on the table. From time to time, he would let out a few vague sounds of approval.
When he noticed Su Yu, Jie was stunned for a moment, then showed a bright smile. Before she could explain her identity, he had already recognized her. "Are you big sister Su Yu? Long time no see!"
Even Su Yu couldn't help but be surprised by the young man's extraordinary intuition.
Hearing this unfamiliar name, Qi Yan turned his head suspiciously, just in time to see the girl standing behind him with a bit of surprise.
She didn't know how Jie recognized her out of thin air.
"Um... Yes, long time no see, Jie, Qi Yan." Su Yu nodded, generously admitted her identity, pulled the empty seat next to Qi Yan, and sat down.
"I didn't expect to see you here. I haven't seen you since the fourth exam. Where did big sister Su Yu go?" Jie asked frankly with a pair of big bright eyes.
Slightly surprised by his friendly attitude, Su Yu froze for a moment, then smiled bitterly. "This... I don't know how to say it. It's not a good thing."
In response to the young man's pure kindness, she hesitated for a moment, then took off the sunglasses on her face.
"But it's really a pity that we have come so far." Jie sighed exaggeratedly, with a look of regret, but unexpectedly did not respond to Su Yu's real face. "We can only wait until next year."
No, don't be like this. I don't want to wait until next year at all.
Su Yu maintained a faint smile on the surface, but in her heart, she couldn't help but cry.
Compared to Jie who turned a blind eye, Qi Yan looked at her a few times in surprise, and finally couldn't help but make a "tsk" sound in a low voice.
"... I heard some time ago that the girl with you didn't finish the exam," Su Yu said after hesitating for a moment. She asked with a look of uncertainty, "That girl called Vivian. What happened?"
She and Qi Yan clearly argued about Vivian before, but now the two of them tacitly acted as if that conflict did not exist.
"That woman, I don't know." At the mention of the girl, Qi Yan bit his fork and looked away. "You don't have a good relationship with her, right? In that case, don't ask anymore."
Although Su Yu wasn't surprised to receive such an answer, she couldn't help but sigh inwardly. She pursed her lips awkwardly and forced herself to speak. "My relationship with her … is rather complicated. She isn't what you think she is. There must be a misunderstanding …"
"Misunderstanding?" This time, it was Qi Yan who directly interrupted the girl's words. "I don't think there is anything that caused a misunderstanding."
But she knew why she did such a thing.
Su Yu turned to look at the boy beside her. Words of explanation quickly flashed through her mind, but she could not say a word.
It was impossible to say that Vivian harbored malice toward them. These girls from another world more or less appeared here with love for the characters in the story. But if she was ordered by Culolo...
"Sister Su Yu, I know what you want to say." This time, it was Jie who spoke. He seemed to see that she wanted to say something, but he did not let her continue. "Everyone has their own reasons, so don't say anymore."
"We will never forgive a person who hurt our friends."
Jie still looked like a child, and his eyes were bright and pure. But when it came to matters of principle, he suddenly seemed to grow up a little and became incomparably firm.
Just by looking at his eyes, Su Yu knew that she could never whitewash Vivian's name with just a few words. Although she knew that she deserved it, there was always an inexplicable sense of responsibility that drove Su Yu to take the initiative to take responsibility for their lives.
Although her memory was already blurred, she was sure that she was the one who sent her to this world. In a sense, these willful and pampered girls were her children. So when it came to Mary Sue's behavior, Su Yu always subconsciously chose to tolerate and exonerate them of any wrongdoing.
She sighed and did not say anything for Vivian. Right now, she could not even protect herself. Indeed, it was not the time to worry about others.
Thinking about her own situation, Su Yu could not help but frown. She looked at the sky outside the window and felt that it was not early anymore.
She did not have time to visit the Sky Arena. The time spent on the airship was still longer than she expected. If she continued to sit here, Culolo would find her soon.
She had no intention of bringing Culolo to them. The girl straightened her skirt and stood up from her seat. She said goodbye to the two boys. "It's really nice to meet you here today. I hope you had a good afternoon. I still have something to do, so I'll take my leave first."
She pressed her hand on the brim of her hat and flashed a standard smile at the two boys. Then, she turned and walked out of the shop.
As she stood up, almost at the same time, almost all the men in this area stood up at the same time and looked at the girl's back as she left. As for the girl herself, she didn't notice this scene at all and walked out of the shop by herself.
"Ah, her sunglasses." After being stunned for a while, Jie suddenly noticed the sunglasses left on the table and exclaimed in a low voice.
Qi Yan looked helplessly at the sunglasses on the table, then picked them up and ran out of the shop. "I'll return them to her."
The silver-haired young man nimbly squeezed through the barrier formed by the crowd of onlookers and chased after her outside the shop in a few moments.
"Hey, auntie, your …" He shouted at the very conspicuous figure in the middle of the crowd, but when he saw the scene in front of him, he subconsciously stopped.
The girl wearing the straw hat heard his call and turned her head to look in his direction. The black hair on her cheeks made her skin look even fairer. Her pair of amethyst-like eyes were cold and affectionate as she looked in his direction with a puzzled expression. As she turned around, the girl's beautiful figure was revealed under the perfectly tailored dress. Surrounded by a group of men who were attracted by her heavenly beauty, in the center of the crowd, her right hand was being held by another person.
The black-haired man seemed to have sensed Qi Hua's gaze. The corners of his mouth curved into a faint smile, and he looked at the boy with an inquisitive look. When Qi Hua's eyes met the black-haired man's, he recovered from the scene. He raised his eyebrows, stepped forward, and handed over the sunglasses in his hand.
"Here, your sunglasses. Next time, don't forget something." He said to Su Yu in a relaxed tone, but under the man's gaze, he instinctively became nervous.
It was a sense of crisis that made his palms sweat slightly. At this time, there was only one thought in his mind, and that was to leave this place as soon as possible.
"Ah, I accidentally forgot. Thank you." Su Yu was stunned for a moment, then reached out to take the sunglasses. She hesitated for a moment, but did not immediately put them on.
She waved to Qi Yan again, then turned and left with Culolo.
Because the girl gave up her disguise, the crowd around them did not disperse when they left. Instead, there was a tendency for more and more people to gather. However, this was not a problem. After turning left and right with Su Yu, the two quickly got rid of the crowd. As the man opened and closed the hardcover book with the handprint on it, the two quickly returned to the place where they lived.
Holding the girl's right hand firmly with one hand, Culolo said in a firm tone, "You are nervous, Su Yu. Are you worried that I will do something to the two children?"
"... Do you want to do something to them?" Su Yu was nervous again, but she quickly stabilized her voice and even asked, "You let me out, but you don't want me to come into contact with the outside world."
"Is this your desire to monopolize me, Culolo?"
She raised her eyes to look at the man beside her. At this time, the man's eyes were calm as usual, as if he was not frightened by her words at all. He was still calmly looking forward. However, compared to usual, Culolo was silent for a second, then said, "About my desire to monopolize you, I thought I made it clear a long time ago."
From the moment she was captured by him, she had become his collection. Of course, he had the right to monopolize her.
But now, did he want to monopolize her as a peerless vase, or her as Su Yu?
Su Yu didn't say anything for a long while. Her fingertips caressed the man's palm carelessly. She lowered her eyes and focused on the road in front of her.
"Don't you feel sad, Culolo?" the girl said in a low voice. "Does the feeling of trapping Vivian with your own hands make you feel relaxed?"
During this period of time, she had been trying to remember everything about that girl. When she first met her, she was not called Vivian. She did not have silky blue hair and dark red eyes. She only had a young and numb face, as if all hope had been destroyed by life. When she heard that she could go to the world of dreams, her eyes suddenly lit up.
Su Yu had no intention of exploring the stories behind these customers, but sometimes, some people's experiences were written on their faces. She could tell at a glance whether she was happy or miserable in her previous life.
"Vivian?" The man also restrained the smile on his face. As the girl asked the question, he seemed to be lost in thought. "How do you want me to answer? Say that I regret it too?"
He had never regretted a decision he had made. Everyone in the exploration team had drawn the line too clearly with others. Who were companions and who were outsiders? These things were very clear from the beginning. It was not something that could be decided by the length of time they spent with each other.
"She was never someone I could entrust my back to. Do you understand?" Culolo answered this question sincerely, which was rare for him. "You wantonly pry into my thoughts. Don't you think you should give me something in return, Su Yu?"
