Chapter 131: New Roommate

Until one day, when I was walking near Twilight Forest and got lost in the dreamy Mushroom Swamp, the red dancing shoes were stolen by thorns, but I didn't notice.

Later, I learned that the hunter Felix had found them and offered the dancing shoes along with his prey to the King.

Queen Melissa took a fancy to the dancing shoes at first sight and demanded the King give them to her.

But the King hesitated.

His feelings for the Queen had long since cooled; instead, he had developed inappropriate thoughts about his daughter, Elizabeth, who was gradually growing up.

He proposed holding a ball, letting the nightingale choose the most eye-catching person in the audience, and using the red dancing shoes as the reward.

On the surface, it was prepared for the Queen, but in reality, he wanted to give the dancing shoes to Elizabeth.

I, who was searching the world for the red dancing shoes, heard this news and immediately signed up with the city officials, successfully grabbing a spot to go to the castle.

On the first night of the ball, the nightingale chose Elizabeth.

At that moment, I understood that I could no longer retrieve the dancing shoes through normal means.

After the ball ended, I found the King.

At that time, he was talking to the Tooth Fairy Pip; I didn't hear the content of their transaction clearly.

After Pip left, I immediately told the King the truth about the red dancing shoes and handed him the letter the witch had written to me.

The letter clearly stated:

I am very happy that you can become the owner of the red dancing shoes, but please remember, the red dancing shoes can bring you glory and charm, but once you put them on, you cannot take them off. You will dance until you die.

––Witch Maoshi.

The King didn't believe me and tried to drive me away.

In my desperation, I said that vicious sentence.

If you don't believe me, you can put them on and try them yourself, and you can also let Elizabeth feel your "temperature."

He wavered.

After I left, the King put on the red dancing shoes.

He began to dance and couldn't stop. Late at night, he finally realized the seriousness of the matter and sent someone to call me back to the castle, begging me to help him.

I tied him to the viewing platform on the second floor of the hall, but even so, his body continued to twist, and his joints constantly dislocated.

In the end, he died there.

During the process, his dentures fell out; it turned out he had used all his real teeth to trade with the Tooth Fairy for the wish of "making Elizabeth like him."

But none of that mattered anymore.

I took off the red dancing shoes from his feet, brought them back to the factory silently, and replaced them with a pair of red dancing shoes that showed no abnormalities, placing them on the display stand.

Since then, my factory could operate again.

The King was not the first person to put them on, nor would he be the last.

The water of Wind Whisper Creek would continue to flow, taking its secrets to irrigate the pastures downstream.

The red dancing shoes would never be lonely, because in this world, the thing least lacking is people who crave to dance and people willing to provide a stage.

I am Willow, the owner of a booming canned food factory.

I hope that in your homes, a pair of beautiful red dancing shoes does not suddenly appear.

Tian Nuan was dead.

When Su Mian opened her eyes, seeing that empty bed made her mood brighten a little.

For the first time, she felt so happy, not just because Tian Nuan was dead, but also because White Dove was still alive.

Although it was in another world, she no longer had to fear death, because her efforts had won her enough points to survive... and

That character who was elusive in her heart.

"So, I hope that in the future, you approach me..."

"It is not to survive."

The moment she heard this sentence, she was at a loss.

Su Mian had never looked squarely at this relationship, or rather, apart from "family affection," she rarely cared about other things.

She was more accustomed to classifying everything as "necessary" and "unnecessary," compressing human nature, choices, and emotions into a part of survival itself.

But she had to admit that she had been seen through, and she had been attracted...

Si Shi completely met all her standards.

Making her lose control, making her dependent, making her vent childish emotions, making her pull between controlling and being controlled.

Oppression, possession, aggression—the pathological affection produced during countless role-plays made her feel great, made her feel that she was completely alive.

Is it like?

If he really wanted to go further, but further... where could they go?

Su Mian didn't dare to say those two words. She admitted that she had already placed Si Shi in a very high position in her heart.

But they were not people from the same world. What could being tied together so casually count for?

"Knock knock–"

The knocking on the door broke Su Mian's train of thought. She stood up to open the door. Outside was a very short girl with twin tails; at first glance, she looked like a child.

She smiled shyly.

"Sorry, I haven't gotten the key to the dormitory yet. Sorry to bother you."

"It's okay."

Su Mian stepped aside and found that she was walking toward Tian Nuan's bed.

Tian Nuan was dead, so no one in this world would remember her, and everything was running normally, and the new roommate had filled the rule loophole.

Su Mian watched quietly. The twin-tailed girl was wiping sweat, wearing thick lenses.

Suddenly, it was as if something had gotten into her eyes. She rubbed them hard, rubbing tears out, and then pretended nothing had happened.

"By the way, classmate, my name is Xu Shengsheng. What about you?"

"Su Mian."

Su Mian replied. The two exchanged a few simple greetings and then stopped talking.

She opened her phone and was suddenly stunned. She hadn't noticed before, but the celebrity who filmed the MV at the school also had pink hair.

In the promotional photo, those smooth and bewitching peach blossom eyes, as well as the slender and tall figure—although the makeup and hair had changed, Su Mian recognized him at a glance.

His name was Zheng Zizhou, and he was also Felix.

Everything seemed to have been expected. Su Mian received a friend request on WeChat.

【I am Felix.】

How did Zheng Zizhou find her? How did he know she was Su Mian?

Doubting, she added him anyway.

The person on the other side replied to the message very quickly.

【Sweet Sweet Sweet Porridge: Teacher, so your name is Su Mian, what a beautiful name.】

【Kapok: How did you find me?】

【Sweet Sweet Sweet Porridge: People confess to you on the campus wall from time to time, I asked someone for your WeChat, hehe.】

【Sweet Sweet Sweet Porridge: But that's not important, I look forward to meeting Teacher Mian Mian in the instances in the future.】

【Kapok: Mm.】

【Sweet Sweet Sweet Porridge: So cold, I like it so much~】

Su Mian:...

She didn't know how to reply for a moment and planned to put down her phone, but another message popped up on the other side.

【Sweet Sweet Mian Porridge: Teacher hasn't joined the channel yet, right? I'll pull you in.】

As he said that, he threw over a link, a sentence without a beginning or an end, but Su Mian subconsciously felt that it should be related to the Infinite Script Murder.

The link led to a piece of software, and the icon of the software was a pair of cookie people holding hands.

Clicking in, there was no registration procedure; it went directly to the main interface, just like an ordinary post website.

From top to bottom, it was full of all kinds of posts, as well as hot search rankings and popular topics. Looking at it at a glance, it was all topics related to "that world." ===== CHAPTER 132 =====
