Chapter 61: Forced Attack Mode
After appearing before Shiyu Qianyi, Ye Lan introduced herself.
“I’m called Ye Lan, and I’m here to help you. You can tell me your wish, and I can make it happen.”
Ye Lan no longer took her time getting to know Shiyu Qianyi. Instead, she stated her purpose, prompting Shiyu Qianyi to share her heart’s desire.
After learning about Shiyu Qianyi, Ye Lan understood that she was different from Star Sheng.
Star Sheng initially only wanted to live around small animals and resisted other beings. Back then, she never even thought of befriending someone outside of animals.
Given this, Ye Lan obviously had to show Shiyu Qianyi how humans were different from animals, at least making her stop focusing solely on animals.
In the end, Ye Lan succeeded.
Star Sheng began to accept friends beyond just animals. Even her introverted nature started improving.
That was the result of Ye Lan’s efforts.
What about Shiyu Qianyi?
She didn’t resist anyone and actually longed for love, as if everyone could fulfill her desires. However, her Star Eclipses pollution thwarted her intentions.
If anyone approached or showed affection towards her, she’d lose all emotions, including any sympathy or goodwill she may have felt for Shiyu Qianyi.
Fate sure had a twisted sense of humor.
Shiyu Qianyi was like a pitiful child cast aside by fate.
Her own desire was what prevented her from achieving anything; her life was truly a tragedy.
She was pessimistic yet kind.
She sensed that anyone near her would get hurt, so she pushed those who tried to care for her away.
The pessimism in her made her believe she had no hope and was destined to be a lonely waste.
She hid in her own safe corner, feeling the quietness alone and…
sobbing sadly.
As late as when Ye Lan appeared, she was still crying.
After all, you could see tears dripping off her cheeks.
“What a crybaby.”
Sighing heavily,
Ye Lan felt helpless.
Learning more about her made Ye Lan more heartsick.
Why are there so many little lolis suffering in this world?
Even in corners nobody sees, these tragedies happen.
Tragedy really sucks.
No matter what, she had to help this little loli crying in front of her.
She looked less than five feet tall and incredibly cute.
Such an angelic appearance should come with optimism and confidence. It wouldn’t do well to stay this gloomy.
Shiyu Qianyi seemed to notice Ye Lan’s resistance wasn’t influenced by power.
Yet, her pessimistic self thought it was only temporary.
If she stayed with her, things might go back to how they used to be.
Countless scenes replayed in her mind.
First, she only wanted to stay in a quiet corner, avoiding crowds while keeping a tiny bit of hope.
Throughout this period, she felt many special humans approach with kindness, trying to engage with her.
Shiyu Qianyi yearned greatly for that affection.
But upon encountering strangers, she sensed their kind feelings diminishing until they vanished completely, erasing all emotion, leaving her indifferent.
This led to her wanting to isolate herself, left with only pessimism and despair.
A person like her definitely doesn’t deserve anyone’s care.
[Xi Si Ni Wang] (Thoughts Drowning) couldn’t receive love.
That’s what Shiyu Qianyi believed.
“Don’t come closer… don’t pay attention to me… hating me is best…”
Buried her face in her arm.
She craved love right in front of her but rejected it.
Short-term kindness was not what she desired.
It would lead to cruelty and harm.
It’d be best if someone like Li Yan occasionally came to check on her, remembering her existence – maybe that’s what she needed most.
As long as he didn’t abandon her…
Li Yan stared at the curled-up Shiyu Qianyi, understanding her thoughts.
He carried similar obsessions and knew her mindset too.
But would this satisfy her?
Not possible.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t still be here.
She’s always been longing, never stopping.
Even if she fooled others, she couldn’t deceive [Ji].
Ye Lan sensed her deep-seated desires too.
Talk about conflict.
She desperately wanted something but resisted it.
Due to Shiyu Qianyi believing she’d eventually leave like others?
Joke’s on her…
She’s Ye Lan.
Middling Star Eclipses pollution? Not enough to sway her!
Without hesitation, Ye Lan grabbed Shiyu Qianyi’s arm and forcibly helped her stand up.
Same principle applies.
Against this type of person, tenderness is pointless—it’s a waste of time.
“Stand straight, it’s time you saw what I’m capable of.”
“Eh?”
Shocked, Shiyu Qianyi stood there with tears still glistening.
Ye Lan looked her seriously in the eye.
“Listen up! I’m super awesome. Consider me capable of anything—more powerful than Li Yan! If he can do something, so can I. And if he can’t, I surely can!”
Li Yan’s lips twitched upon listening beside them.
Though honest, why did he feel like he was being eviscerated?
Somehow got dragged in too.
Seeing Shiyu Qianyi momentarily impressed, a proud expression spread across Ye Lan’s face.
Then, she picked her up like a princess and exited the dim, empty room.
At this moment, Shiyu Qianyi recovered and blushed.
“I…no, don’t take me out…let me go.”
“This is step one!”
Ye Lan forcefully stated.
Only after exiting the dark room did she let Shiyu Qianyi stand.
Trying to return, Shiyu Qianyi was stopped again, held by Ye Lan’s hand.
“Not possible. You won’t find solace by hiding; now, I’ve brought you the care you seek. Would you like to escape?”
Shocked, Shiyu Qianyi turned to look at Ye Lan.
“No worries?”
“Of course!”
“Just don’t give me hope, then take it away again…”
Whispered Shiyu Qianyi quietly.
Ye Lan heard clearly, giving a confident smile.
“Do you think I am who?”
Perfect.
Though this ungentle approach worked as a bridge, it might not be enough.
Clearly, Shiyu Qianyi’s outlook remained very pessimistic, seemingly still doubting that Ye Lan could bring her what she desired.
Perhaps pessimistically thinking Ye Lan will eventually leave her?
Probably such.
Always finding doom in every circumstance, this is a type of obsession.
Hard to change.
Had to shift her mindset.
Thoughtful for a moment, Ye Lan took Shiyu Qianyi’s hand.
“We’ll start by becoming friends. From today onward, I am your friend.”
Said this, Ye Lan felt quite ashamed internally.
Because, this felt like being shamelessly forward.
Like she had delusions, and yet her cheeks heated strangely without permission.
Charm fades fast.
Ye Lan covered her face with one hand due to the heat, seeming to have endured her embarrassment.
“Alright?”
