After Transmigrating into a book, I Was Played By a Black Lotus

Chapter 85 New Futures

The two of them slowly calmed down, especially Bai Xiying. Compared to how she had dragged Lin Xingzhu into the room earlier, she now appeared serene.

Lin Xingzhu asked, "Are you still angry? Do you still think I'm going to leave?"

Bai Xiying looked up at the ceiling. After a long pause, she said, "I'm not that angry anymore. I was just so scared. After learning about your background, and realizing there's someone else in this world from the same place as you, my mind couldn't help but race with thoughts that you might leave."

Thinking of Wen Lin, Bai Xiying's eyes darkened a little. "How many people know the plot of this novel?"

Seeing her ask this, Lin Xingzhu thought for a moment before answering, "Quite a few, but I think what we've experienced might not be exactly like what's in the novel."

Bai Xiying's eyes shifted slightly, and she looked at her seriously. "What do you mean?"

Lin Xingzhu contemplated before speaking, "For example, in the novel's plot that I saw, characters like Qiao Zijing, Mu Muqing, Xie Yunya... they all have relationships with you. But the real you, living your own life, I think with your personality, you wouldn't get close to someone you don't like, right?"

"......"

After a long silence, Bai Xiying suddenly laughed. "You're right."

She quickly understood, "So what the novel shows is just the story of someone with the same name as me. It's not really me."

She was herself, even in her past life, when she couldn't escape fate, she never compromised or gave in easily.

Lin Xingzhu nodded, "That's how I see it too. I've never considered the people and events in this world as mere cardboard cutouts or simple plots. Everything that happens here is logical. Everyone is real, with flesh and blood—there's no blurry reality, no illusion."

Bai Xiying suddenly felt enlightened.

Lin Xingzhu took her hand seriously. "Don't worry about me leaving. I think that's impossible."

"And some things aren't just for you to worry about. After hearing everything you said, I'm also scared that when I open my eyes again, you might have gone back to the way things were."

Bai Xiying interrupted her, "That's impossible."

After she spoke, she saw Lin Xingzhu staring at her silently.

After a long pause, Lin Xingzhu finally spoke, "You see, you think the same way. So stop scaring yourself."
