I Have Yet to Become a Doll Today

Chapter 887: Chapter 887: Dream 19

The wind howled in her ears.

The scenery in front of her became elongated shadows due to the rapid descent.

Bai Youwei watched as the ground grew closer and closer, her mind going blank in an instant.

Unable to think, unable to judge, until she and Fu Miaoxue pierced through the ground! Still plummeting down, it was only then that she finally regained her sanity.

…Had they made it out?

Bai Youwei looked around.

Her body was still falling, the speed unrelenting, and everything around her was white, with bits of light and images flashing by like scenes on a movie screen—

She saw Fu Miaoxue’s other dreams.

About the manor, about Grandfather… and more, about Du Lai.

Fu Miaoxue and Du Lai were playing hide-and-seek.

Because this “pet” really didn’t listen, no matter how many locks were added or how many bodyguards were on watch, he would always escape.

However, the manor’s location was extremely remote, with few visitors; Du Lai would be recaptured in just a few hours each time he escaped.

So one fled, and the other chased, back and forth without end.

Fu Miaoxue’s greatest pleasure was sitting in a helicopter, flying low, surveying every inch of the land near the manor. When she spotted Du Lai, she would issue a command, deploying a tight dragnet search!

Sometimes, she would even intentionally reveal a flaw, allowing Du Lai to escape so that she could revel in the thrill of the chase.

Cunning during the pursuit, yet after capture, she would take care of him with utmost attention—buying him pretty clothes, feeding him various delicacies, tending to the wounds from his escapes, and occasionally speaking ill of his home tutor to alleviate her long-held loneliness.

Du Lai loathed her twisted behavior, yet couldn’t stand being imprisoned in the manor forever; even knowing he might be caught again, he couldn’t help but try to escape, if only for a sliver of hope. He had to get out!

Finally, one day, he escaped again.

He ran further and further, without the helicopter coming after him, and then he saw thick black smoke billowing and flames soaring into the sky from the direction of the manor!

It seemed someone else had come seeking revenge on old Master Fu.

—Sending Fu Miaoxue to her death and severing the Fu Family line was undoubtedly the best form of revenge.

Who knows what Du Lai was thinking, but he didn’t flee; instead, he went back to the manor. Using his agile skills to avoid those fighting at the front, he reached Fu Miaoxue’s door, picked the lock, and rescued the unconscious Fu Miaoxue from a sea of fire.

Afterward, the manor was purged, the fire brought under control, and Du Lai’s departure was thwarted.

He became a hero to the Fu Family.

Old Master Fu met him in person, offering status and wealth, but the one thing that remained unchanged was that he still had to stay on the estate—

Another form of imprisonment, but this time, Du Lai was willing.

…

Scenes flashed before her eyes one by one, and it seemed that Fu Miaoxue’s memories also began to return. She looked curiously at the surrounding scenes and said to Bai Youwei, “Look, there’s yours too.”

Bai Youwei’s fragmented memories, or rather, what could be called “dreams,” would intermittently appear amidst Fu Miaoxue’s dreams.

Perhaps because of their hand-in-hand contact, they were able to see each other’s “dreams.”

In Bai Youwei’s dreams, she and her mother were dancing together, her mother’s dance elegant. Occasionally, she would stop and patiently correct Bai Youwei’s posture, time and time again, with gentle patience.

Once upon a time, they had been as close and harmonious as any mother and daughter.

Fu Miaoxue commented, “Wow, your mom is prettier than you~”

Bai Youwei felt a bit stifled in her heart.

She didn’t want to see these things, let alone have Fu Miaoxue see them.

Fortunately, it was all fleeting. They fell into the void of white, hearing the familiar system sound:

“Congratulations to the players for clearing Maze Number 1.”
