Chapter 108: Why Do People Choose to Sleep? Because They Fear Waking from the Dream

The video continued.

【I'm sorry. For certain reasons, some things... I still can't reveal to you in full.】

【But there are some things I should be honest with you about.】

【The Clockmaker's legacy is indeed what I seek, but we need not part ways and become adversaries—at least... I don't wish for such a thing to happen.】

Liu Ying looked at Xiang Xing, her tone sincere,

【I hope so too...】

Xiang Xing met Liu Ying's gaze and nodded slowly.

【.... Thank you.】

Liu Ying smiled, a warmth radiating from her expression.

【I dreamed of a wasteland, a new bud breaking through the earth, blooming toward the rising sun, whispering to me.】

【Do you remember... the question on the invitation?】

【Why does life fall asleep...?】

【Look, in this land of dreams, everything is permitted, everything is possible.】

【The unbearable past dissolves like bubbles; the future you dread never arrives.】

【Why do people choose to sleep?】

【I think...】

【Because they fear waking from the dream.】

Funingna: "Wah-wah, don't say any more, and don't sing anymore!"

Funingna: "If you keep going, I'm going to cry myself to death... wah-wah!"

Mumang Palace,

At this moment, Funingna watched this scene on the video,

crying uncontrollably.

Beside her, Navia kept handing her tissues.

Pai Mon: "But... weren't they on a date?!"

Pai Mon: "Why... did it suddenly become so sad..."

Pai Mon: "And... in real life, is Liu Ying really ill?"

Pai Mon: "Wah-wah, Entropy Loss Syndrome... just hearing it sounds terrifying."

Xiao Gong: "The dream's scenery is so beautiful, yet I can't feel any joy right now."

Xiao Gong: "If real life weren't so cruel, why would Liu Ying have to admire such beauty only in her dreams..."

Naxida: "Yes... just as Liu Ying said..."

Naxida: "Why do people choose to sleep? Because..."

"Because they fear waking from the dream...."

"In the world of dreams, there is no cruelty, only beauty..."

"There, no one looks at me with strange eyes..."

"No one compares me to her..."

"I can be myself, freely and fully."
