After Transmigrating Into a Book, I Was Played by the Black Lotus – Chapter 99

Full Text Finished

Every you, will have another me come to love you.

When Lin Xingzhu opened her eyes, she was without any omen stung a bit by the piercing sunlight.

She felt the sunlight that was scorching hot to the point it seemed able to roast people, looked at the men and women wearing cool and refreshing clothes on the main street, and her whole person was stunned.

…Shouldn’t it be the snowing season now?

She still remembered the fairy wands¹ she set off with Bai Xiying before sleep, and also that pile of fireworks whose names she could not call out; the moment they bloomed was splendid and dazzling.

But none of those could match Bai Xiying’s blooming smile.

Lin Xingzhu subconsciously looked to her side, but that familiar person was not at her side.

Bai Xiying, her wife, was not with her at this moment.

“After graduating and then returning to school, even looking at the school’s main gate has become clear-eyebrowed-and-beautiful-eyed²!”

“Yes, ah, looking at these younger male and female schoolmates is really so nostalgic.”

“Xiying, tonight we plan to go to a bar to have some fun, do you want to come along?”

The familiar syllables attracted Lin Xingzhu’s attention; she was no longer in a trance, subconsciously drawn by that voice.

“I won’t be going, I’ve been preparing for onboarding at a new company recently, and I’m quite busy.”

Looking at the woman who opened her mouth to speak, Lin Xingzhu’s pupils suddenly contracted.

It was Bai Xiying!

It was the green-and-astringent³, immature, face-young-and-energetic Bai Xiying.

As if a bolt of lightning had mercilessly split open her chaotic brain, Lin Xingzhu’s body became a bit unstable, and she repeatedly retreated several steps backward.

What is going on?!

She forced herself to calm down and enter a state of thought, but her trembling hand leaked out her fear and unease.

Lin Xingzhu thought with difficulty, could it be that she slept one sleep and traveled through⁴ again?

She stared blankly at the giant rock in front of the university gate; carved on it was this place’s name.

This was Bai Xiying’s alma mater.

She looked at those few figures walking farther and farther away, her brows wrinkling deeper and deeper.

Suddenly, one of the women realized something and abruptly turned her head to look.

“What’s wrong? Is there something behind us?”

Bai Xiying looked at the curious Fang Xiaotong⁵ and shook her head: “It’s nothing, I just always feel like someone is watching me.”

Fang Xiaotong laughed pu pu⁶: “This is too normal! After all, you look so beautiful, your head-turning rate⁷ is definitely one hundred percent!”

She did not treat it as a matter of importance, and the other people traveling with her were the same.

Is that so?

Bai Xiying was half-believing and half-doubting; she always felt that the line of sight just now was somewhat out of the ordinary.

Lin Xingzhu stood with a stiff body under the shade of a tree. At this time, her back was to those few people who were gradually walking farther away, and she was checking her mobile phone with somewhat unstable emotions.

September, 20xx, the year Bai Xiying graduated.

Lin Xingzhu pressed her lips together and put away her mobile phone.

Only at this moment did she discover that her own clothing was no different from the people around her. This made Lin Xingzhu a bit confused: could it be that she had worn into⁸ the body of the Lin Xingzhu in the book again?

She searched for information on her person and discovered that was not the case.

Very quickly, a woman who looked exactly the same as herself appeared within her range of vision.

That was the real Lin Xingzhu in this book world!

Lin Xingzhu hurriedly turned her back again, her gaze searching in a circle, and entered a convenience store with her head lowered.

When she came out again, she was wearing a black mask and left in a hurry.

Casually finding a coffee shop, Lin Xingzhu discovered that using her mobile phone for payment was all normal. She had just checked a bit and discovered one thing.

—She was like an outsider who possessed a legal identity.

The fragrant and mellow coffee was placed on the table, inquired about by no one. Lin Xingzhu clasped her hands and pressed them to her head, her thick eyelashes trembled slightly, and her arched body seemed to be trembling.

Her Bai Xiying, what about her?!

Her Bai Xiying seemed to have not come.

That bright, beautiful, and flamboyant face from in front of the university gate replayed in her mind, and Lin Xingzhu’s finger trembled a bit.

With just one meeting, she confirmed that the Bai Xiying from just now was not her Bai Xiying.

That smile was something only a Bai Xiying who had not yet experienced haze and absurd fate could possess.

Lin Xingzhu arched her body and closed her eyes for a long time.

“Ma’am, is there anything you need?”

Probably because they saw this customer’s strange behavior proceeding for too long, the server couldn’t help but worriedly step forward to ask.

Lin Xingzhu lightly wiped the corner of her eye; when she raised her head, she had already recovered her natural composure.

Her voice was slightly hoarse: “Thank you, I don’t need anything for the time being.”

---

Upon entering the clamorous and disorienting bar, Bai Xiying’s heart couldn’t help but jump wildly.

Fang Xiaotong and the others were too lacking in vigilance, how could they get drunk in a bar?

Bai Xiying held back the worry in her heart and cautiously searched according to the address they had sent.

Just as she was about to push open a thick and heavy black-lacquered wooden door, a pair of hands suddenly gripped her raised wrist.

Bai Xiying was startled, and as she raised her eyes, she collided with a pair of light-colored pupils.

As placid as a waveless sea surface, broad and vast.

The mask-wearing Lin Xingzhu used her free hand to make a “shh” gesture by her mouth.

Seeing Bai Xiying calm down, she gripped her wrist and exited the bar through seven twists and eight turns⁹.

The slightly cool night wind rushed to her face, and her brain seemed to sober up a lot.

Bai Xiying looked at this strange woman in front of her with surprise and uncertainty, asking carefully: “Who are you?”

Lin Xingzhu released her, placid and gentle: “A person you do not know.”

Is that so?

But looking at this pair of eyes, Bai Xiying felt as if she had seen her somewhere before.

She retained the suspicion and vigilance in her heart, pressed her lips together, and said: “I want to go in to find my friends.”

Lin Xingzhu looked at her: “They are fine, but if you go in, an incident will happen.”

Bai Xiying said vigilantly: “Why are you so certain?”

Lin Xingzhu lowered her eyes, looking at the defensiveness on her clear and beautiful face. Her gaze was somewhat absent-minded, but it very quickly recovered its calm.

“You will know immediately.”

As soon as the words landed, the roaring sound of police sirens rang out the next second.

Lin Xingzhu and Bai Xiying stood under a tree, watching quite a few people in front of the bar door flusteredly wanting to run out.

Before long, a few familiar figures appeared in front of the main door.

Bai Xiying’s eyes lit up: “Fang Xiaotong!”

She jogged over to find her frightened friend, but halfway there, she couldn’t help but stop her steps and turn her head back to look at that mysterious woman.

The person under the shade of the tree was already gone.

---

Bai Xiying’s recent life was very happy; she successfully graduated, onboarded at a studio she liked very much, her colleagues were friendly, and her boss was even very considerate.

It was just that when she was occasionally idle, a doubt was still hidden in her heart.

Who was the woman who led her out of the bar that night, helping her dodge a calamity?

Bai Xiying tapped her pen, falling into thought.

Later, she fumblingly pieced together some of the truth from the words of Fang Xiaotong and other friends, and adding to that the subsequent police investigation she followed, she already knew what would have been waiting for her if she had opened the door and entered the private room that day.

—Spring. medicine.¹⁰

Thinking of this, her whole body turned cold.

At the same time as feeling fortunate, she couldn’t help but think about that mysterious woman again.

Her eyes… it seemed that for an instant, they made people feel they were very soft, and also very sad.

“Xiying, the boss is calling for you to go in!”

Wang Xiaoxiao called to her, and as she got up to walk, she added in a small voice: “Don’t you forget about the competition I told you about, ah.”

Bai Xiying curved her eyes and nodded.

On the evening of this day after getting off work, Bai Xiying discovered that she seemed to have encountered that mysterious woman again.

Curiosity flashed in her eyes, and upon discovering the other person was also looking at her, Bai Xiying’s heart stirred, and she couldn’t help but walk closer.

“…Do you have business to find me for?” Bai Xiying asked, a little uncertainly.

Lin Xingzhu nodded lightly. She still wore a black mask, making people unable to clearly see the appearance below her eyes.

Lin Xingzhu handed her several sheets of newspaper, and then left under Bai Xiying’s confused gaze.

After the person had walked far away, Bai Xiying confusedly lowered her head to look at the newspapers. How come they were all written with news about thieves stealing other people’s achievements, ah?

She flipped through them carefully again and discovered that the majority of them were basically about bosses stealing the creativity of those in lower positions.

The Bai Xiying of that time did not understand this mysterious woman’s intention, but in the unseen, she felt that there must be a reason for her giving these to her.

It was not until a week later that Bai Xiying learned from Wang Xiaoxiao’s mouth that the boss had not put out any works for three years. Originally, this didn’t count for anything, but when she was called into the office by the boss and listened to her euphemistically implying that she should put her heart into her work and not into a competition with no results, Bai Xiying couldn’t help but feel a chill in her heart.

That mysterious woman, did she know something?

Unfortunately, there was no one who could come and explain this problem to her.

Bai Xiying calmed down and contended with the boss with falsehood and a compliant snake¹¹.

One month later, a scandal suddenly exploded online about Hurricane Studio’s boss, Mu Muqing, stealing another person’s works!

Lin Xingzhu slid the mouse, looking at the various passionately surging comments online, a bit of relaxation in her eyes.

But when her gaze fell upon the exquisite desserts and cakes at her hand, she was startled; the curve of her lips had, at some unknown time, become extremely lonely.

The sweetly rich cream filled her oral cavity, familiar audio-visual memories were in her mind, and Lin Xingzhu couldn’t help but close her eyes.

After arriving here, she only then discovered that the Bai Xiying who had not experienced that absurd fate, in fact, did not have a sweet tooth.

Was this, in the end, a dream, or another absurd life?

Lin Xingzhu had no way of knowing.

She only knew that even if the Bai Xiying before her eyes was bright and brilliant, with light rays ten thousand zhang long¹², that was not her Bai Xiying.

The Bai Xiying who was walking out from inside holding a trophy paused her steps; she seemed to have just seen the mysterious woman from before.

After having experienced these few matters, Bai Xiying had a very strong curiosity towards that mysterious woman.

She always felt that the other person seemed to understand her as if pointing at their own palm¹³.

No, that wasn’t quite right either; it should be that the other person seemed to be very familiar with certain misfortunes she was going to experience.

She sank into deep thought; at this moment, even the joy of victory was unable to dilute this thread of curiosity.

“Bang!“

The Bai Xiying who had returned to her senses hurriedly apologized: “Sorry, sorry, I didn’t see the road clearly.”

“It’s fine, I was also at fault.”

A familiar female voice sounded above her head. Bai Xiying was startled and subconsciously raised her head to investigate.

Her gaze collided with a pair of very special eyes, which had a kind of familiar yet unfamiliar feeling.

Very quickly, Bai Xiying’s attention was attracted by another place.

She discovered with astonishment that at the corner of the person’s left eye, a small, light-colored mole was visibly growing out to the naked eye.

…How magical!

It was also at this moment that she finally discovered who the person who had collided with her was!

“Lin Xingzhu?!”

Looking at the two people conversing in the distance, the Lin Xingzhu standing behind the tree suddenly had a kind of premonition.

—She was about to leave!

She looked at that face that was exactly the same as her own, fixing her eyes to discern the other person’s temperament.

After a long time, a smiling intent slowly emerged in Lin Xingzhu’s eyes. “The self from another world?”

She muttered to herself, her body slowly becoming transparent in an extremely unscientific way, until it disappeared from sight.

---

“Had a nightmare?”

Bai Xiying lay on Lin Xingzhu’s shoulder and asked with a hoarse voice.

Lin Xingzhu said in a warm voice: “No, it was a very special dream.”

She recounted the story in the dream in a gentle, continuous flow.

Bai Xiying’s eyes repeatedly lit up as she listened. After Lin Xingzhu finished telling the story, she couldn’t help but eat vinegar¹⁴ again, “If that were something that truly happened, would you have liked the me in the dream?”

She looked at Lin Xingzhu, glaring like a tiger¹⁵, as if she would bite her the next second if Lin Xingzhu’s answer did not satisfy her.

“That was not you,” Lin Xingzhu corrected, “That was Bai Xiying, another world’s Bai Xiying.”

Lin Xingzhu’s heart was very clear, “I would not have come to like her either.”

Bai Xiying was curious: “So certain?”

Lin Xingzhu nodded, met her eyes, and couldn’t help but move closer to give her a little kiss.

Outside the window, the cold winter was biting; inside the room, it was as warm as spring.

Lin Xingzhu held Bai Xiying, her voice low, hoarse, and gentle, “In this lifetime, I will only have one lover, and that is the Bai Xiying before my eyes.”

The only one she loves is the twenty-six-year-old Bai Xiying before her eyes, the Bai Xiying who has walked with her in mutual love.

She would not fall in love with the just-out-of-campus, green-onion¹⁶, bright-and-beautiful Bai Xiying, nor would she return to the past and give birth to pity and love upon seeing a Bai Xiying who needed help.

Because the twenty-two-year-old and twenty-four-year-old Bai Xiying are not the person she loves.

Only the twenty-six-year-old Bai Xiying is the lover of the present Lin Xingzhu.

And every you, will have another me come to love you.

Recalling the final scene in the dream, Lin Xingzhu encircled the waist that moved closer to her, her muttered soft words swallowed up into a gentle kiss.
