Immortal Soul of Steel

Chapter 220 (16th update) Don’t want to regret

After closing the door, Lei Mengmeng crouched and sneaked to Lin Youde's bedside.

Looking at Lin Youde, who was staring at him with his eyes open, Lei Mengmeng's expression froze. But he still gritted his teeth, pulled back Lin Youde's quilt, and got in.

"So... what are you doing at this late hour?"

Lin Youde was very confused when Lei Mengmeng hugged his neck.

Lei Mengmeng hugged Lin Youde's neck, rubbed it, and asked in a low voice.

"You can't sleep, can you? I can't sleep either. So I came to find you."

Lin Youde blinked and did not deny it. He just stroked Lei Mengmeng's now golden hair with his hand.

"Actually, I often had nightmares a while ago."

Lin Youde's eyebrows twitched: "A while ago? Was it the time when I was not offline in the game?"

Lei Mengmeng buried her face in Lin Youde's arms and nodded in response.

"Well, that's what happened during that time."

"Every night I wake up from nightmares."

"At that time, I really wanted to go find you, but I was afraid of disturbing you, so I didn't tell you."

Lin Youde was stunned. He really didn't notice this. Because he has always been very at ease with Lei Mengmeng, he basically does not use the perception of new humans to feel Lei Mengmeng's emotions.

Even if you are a new human being, it is very tiring to sense other people's emotions every day.

So only when he was alone with Lei Mengmeng, Lin Youde would completely restrain his new human perception and give himself a good rest.

Now listening to what Lei Mengmeng said, Lin Youde knew that his lazy behavior had caused a lot of omissions.

If Lei Mengmeng hadn't said it himself, Lin Youde wouldn't have discovered it at all.

Holding Lei Mengmeng's delicate body, Lin Youde whispered: "Sorry, I never found it."

Lei Mengmeng shook her head slightly: "It doesn't matter, it's all over anyway."

After saying that, Lei Mengmeng suddenly raised her head and looked at Lin Youde with a very hesitant expression.

"Youde, why did you come here? Aren't you always afraid of dimensional beasts?"

Lin Youde pressed his forehead against Lei Mengmeng's and smiled.

"Yeah, even now, I'm scared."

"The shadow of being eaten by a dimensional beast when I was a child still lingers until now."

"All this time, I thought I wouldn't have the courage to face those monsters."

"But now I have no choice."

"Although I am still a little timid even now, the most important person to me is about to be in danger. Even if I am afraid, I have to face it."

"This is what Yazhenri taught me."

"Although I don't think I can be a hero."

"But if it's for you, I think I can give it a try."

"Besides, Yazhenli also hopes that I will become a hero..."

Listening to Lin Youde's words, Lei Mengmeng smiled happily and sweetly. He hugged Lin Youde's neck tightly and whispered.

"Actually, you have been a hero in my heart since a long time ago..."

"A long time ago? We didn't recognize each other before..."

Halfway through his words, Lin Youde suddenly couldn't speak anymore.

Because Lin Youde suddenly thought of a possibility.

"Mengmeng, could it be that you also..."

Lei Mengmeng pouted her little mouth and poked Lin Youde's cheek with her finger.

"Big wood, didn't you remember it until now?"

"Is it true?"

Lin Youde was a little stunned, and then heard Lei Mengmeng ask.

"Now that you have remembered what happened when you were a child, can you guess when I met you back then?"

Lin Youde's expression solidified: "Uh..."

Lei Mengmeng said loudly: "Well, you can tell me where I sat on the bus at that time."

Lin Youde was sweating like rain: "..."

"Damumu, I knew you didn't remember it completely. Humph, I'll ignore you."

Lei Mengmeng let go of Lin Youde and turned her back.

Lin Youde quickly hugged her from behind and begged for mercy: "I'm sorry, sorry, it's all my fault. Wasn't it that I was so shocked at the time that I almost died? I can't remember the details, and..."

Before Lin Youde finished speaking, he heard Lei Mengmeng turn around and say with a pout, "Forget it, I forgive you."

Lin Youde: "Eh?"

The dissatisfaction on his face disappeared in an instant, Lei Mengmeng hugged Lin Youde's neck and whispered happily.

"You have come to this place where you least want to come because of me. Even if you can't remember the past, it doesn't matter."

"After all, what is most important to me now is..."

Lin Youde held Lei Mengmeng silently, letting Lei Mengmeng rest her head on his chest and confide.

"You know, actually when I came here, I had a vague premonition."

"I'm afraid this will be my last battlefield..."

"I will probably die here..."

Lin Youde was shocked and quickly raised his head: "Why do you think so?"

Lei Mengmeng shook her head slightly: "I don't know. I have been very scared since I started dreaming a while ago."

"It's not just because I often dream about the time when we were attacked by dimensional beasts."

"It's more because I dreamed that I would die here."

"There is no basis, and even the dream is very vague. But I can still confirm that I will die here."

"It's as if someone is telling me somewhere that I am no longer needed and will be abandoned, so I will die here..."

Lin Youde was confused: "What is this? There is no basis at all. Why do you think so."

Rubbing Lin Youde's chest, Lei Mengmeng said at a loss: "Who knows. I don't know why I have such thoughts. But after I came here, the premonition became stronger."

"So, I have always been afraid, afraid that I will die here. Afraid that I will never see you again..."

As she said that, Lei Mengmeng suddenly put her hands on Lin Youde and straightened up.

"But I'm not scared now."

Looking at Lei Mengmeng on his body, Lin Youde asked: "Is it because I'm here?"

Lei Mengmeng smiled sweetly: "Well, you are here, so I am no longer afraid."

"As long as you are by my side, I will no longer be afraid of death."

Lin Youde scolded with a sullen face: "If you say something stupid, you won't die. Neither will I. We will leave here alive together."

"Either we leave here together."

"Either we die here together."

"There will be no other options."

"I said this."

Listening to Lin Youde's words, Lei Mengmeng was very happy.
