Chapter 1593: Rubik's Cube Beauty (55)

"Guoguo, don't leave. Stay with me, okay?"

Tang Guo was sitting beside a hospital bed. Her hand was tightly clasped by the man lying there, who looked at her with shining eyes full of affection.

"Guoguo, I won't do biological research anymore. I just want to stay by your side, alright? You like mathematics, so go study mathematics. I'll simply accompany you every day. Stay, okay? I'll bring you different flavors of ice cream every day. Whether it's summer or winter, whenever you want some, all you need to do is make a phone call, and I'll immediately appear by your side."

System: 【Host, this is Wei Yue. He really looks like him.】

"Not really."

Tang Guo denied it, withdrawing her hand from the man's grasp.

"That fool wouldn't be this greedy. In every world, he chooses to follow me, but he would never look at me with such pleading and humble eyes, begging me to stay. I do like ice cream because sweet things improve my mood. But that stubborn fellow would never allow me to eat ice cream in the middle of winter. If I insisted on eating it when it was cold or when I wasn't feeling well, he'd throw a little tantrum. I'd have to coax him for ages before he would forgive me. You're doing a terrible imitation."

System: Uh...

So Host remembered these things so clearly?

Come to think of it, that really was the case.

Whenever that guy faced the Host, he seemed to lose himself completely, as if nothing else mattered.

But in truth, it was only because he loved her too much that he indulged her.

The moment she did something harmful to herself, he would genuinely get upset and angry. Well, not really angry—more like throwing a little fit. Every time, the Host had to coax him for a long while and promise she would never do it again before he would smile once more.

Yes.

This illusion's version of Wei Yue wasn't convincing at all.

Even he couldn't be fooled by it, let alone the observant Host.

"Alright, you can get lost now."

Tang Guo waved her hand, completely ignoring the shocked expression on "Wei Yue's" face. As she turned around, the illusion shattered once more.

【Host, even if they're fake, don't seeing these people from the past stir your emotions at all?】

Not even pretending? She really wasn't giving the Lord of Mirror Illusion City any face.

"I can't really feel nostalgic. That fool has been sticking to me every day recently, wishing he could turn himself into my giant body pillow. Such a shameless and thick-skinned person has left too deep an impression on me. As for the people from the past, too much time has passed. I can't immerse myself in those feelings anymore. I don't like dwelling on the past. I'd rather keep moving forward. The road ahead seems brighter somehow. Illusions and fantasies are still not real. What can nostalgia accomplish? It's pointless. A waste of effort."

【Host really does have a heart as unyielding as stone.】

"I'll take that as a compliment."

Afterward, Tang Guo encountered many familiar faces within the illusions.

Some had hurt her.

Others had given her warmth.

Unfortunately, none of them felt right.

Although the illusions had been created by probing her heart, her heart was ever-changing, different from moment to moment. How could the illusion ever perfectly replicate them?

There was only one way for Mirror Illusion City to successfully deceive those who entered it.
