Chapter 265: Past Events (Secret)
There was a hint of curiosity and inquiry in her words. She blinked and asked softly, "Here? Is there anything special about it?"
Chen Yue turned slowly and looked out the window with deep eyes. Although there was nothing there, his eyes seemed to be able to see the distant past through the window.
"Well, you gave yourself to me, so I can't hide anything from you anymore." Chen Yue's voice was calm and firm, making people feel at ease.
Zhen nodded slightly to show her understanding. She waited quietly for Chen Yue's next words, her heart full of anticipation.
"I am actually a descendant of Teyvat. In Teyvat, I always feel like an outsider. Although I have powerful copying abilities, I can't integrate into this world after all. This feeling of loneliness follows me like a shadow and I can never get rid of it." There was a hint of helplessness and bitterness in Chen Yue's voice.
Zhen sighed softly. She could understand Chen Yue's feelings. As an outsider, she had also experienced similar confusion and bewilderment.
"That's why I spent hundreds of years collecting various materials, learning various skills, and finally built this home of my own." There was a hint of pride and satisfaction in Chen Yue's voice.
"Because here, I can feel the feeling I had before. Even though it has long been blurred, I still enjoy it." Chen Yue's voice gradually became low, as if he was lost in memories.
Zhen Zhen's words were filled with shock and disbelief. She widened her eyes and tried to find more clues from Chen Yue's face. However, Chen Yue just smiled faintly, and that smile seemed to contain too many stories and vicissitudes.
"Yes, really. I come from a world completely different from Teyvat. There is no elemental force, no gods, only technology. And I, as a, uh... I also forgot who I am. Anyway, I came to this world accidentally."
Chen Yue's voice was full of calmness, as if he was telling a story that had nothing to do with him: "Perhaps it was because of the Adventers that I had abilities that ordinary people could not reach when I first arrived here. But at that time, this ability was too weak. It was only enough for me to protect myself in the war between demons and gods. It was far from being as powerful as it is now."
Chen Yue paused and continued, "But I am still quite lucky. During the Demon God War, I made great contributions and led my army to kill several demon gods. I was appreciated by the Emperor and became an immortal."
"I have left nothing to chance now. I have told you the whole truth. At this point, no matter how much I, as an Adventer, say, it cannot compare to what I have seen with my own eyes."
Chen Yue sighed softly, with a hint of emotion in his tone.
"The Adventers?" Zhen muttered to herself. She tried to imagine a world completely different from Teyvat in her mind, but no matter how hard she tried, the images were always as hazy as fog and difficult to take shape. She turned her head and looked at Chen Yue. There seemed to be endless stars hidden in his deep eyes, each of which represented a past that she had never touched.
"After thousands of years of pursuit and exploration, what you have done is not just for a home, right?" Zhen asked softly, her voice full of desire for the unknown and curiosity about Chen Yue's past.
Chen Yue nodded, he walked to the window and looked at the fake modern scenery in the distance, as if he could see that distant world through it all.
"Yes, really. I came here not only to recover some losses, but also to find a possibility, a possibility that can allow me to return to my original world. In other words, maybe one day in the future, I will leave this world forever and never come back."
"So... make your choice, Zhen. I will always love you no matter what you choose."
Chen Yue’s words were like a bombshell, causing a huge wave of shock in Zhen’s heart.
She had guessed Chen Yue's other identities, but she never guessed that he was from another world.
Zhen slowly walked to Chen Yue and placed her hand lightly on his shoulder, as if she wanted to give him some strength, and as if she was confirming whether he was really standing in front of her.
"No matter where you come from, no matter where you are going, you are the most important person to me." Zhen's voice was firm and gentle. "If one day you really want to leave, I will bless you, but I hope that day will never come."
"Okay, stop looking so sad. Why don't you introduce this place to me? After all, this is your real residence. You should teach me how to use the things inside. Although there are no electronic products or WiFi as you mentioned, it is already very new to me."
Zhen's words were like a spring breeze, blowing away the heaviness in Chen Yue's heart. He turned around with a smile, took her hand, and led her to every corner of the room.
"This is a bed. It is softer and more comfortable than the beds on the continent of Teyvat. You can sleep here at night." Chen Yue gently stroked the bed sheet, feeling its delicate texture, as if telling an ancient legend.
"This is the dining table. We can have dinner here and enjoy the pleasure brought by delicious food." Chen Yue pulled Zhen to sit down, imagining the scene of the two of them sitting around the table and sharing each other's stories.
"This is a wardrobe, used to store clothes. Although there are no gorgeous clothes like those on Teyvat, these clothes can still make you show off your different styles." Chen Yue opened the wardrobe and showed the clothes inside. Each piece exuded a different aura. "Oh my god! I made a mistake. These are what I wear in my female form. This side is mine."
"This is..." Chen Yue's voice sounded gently, and he introduced the furniture and items in the room one by one. His voice contained endless patience, as if he was explaining everything in the world to a child who had just stepped into the world and was full of curiosity about everything.
The night gradually enveloped the earth, deep and quiet. Zhen and Chen Yue sat side by side on the soft sofa, gazing at the starry sky outside the window that shone like gemstones. The night sky was dotted with stars, like a mysterious and magnificent painting unfolding before their eyes.
"You said there are no gods in your world, then who rules your place?" Zhen suddenly broke the silence, his eyes revealing deep doubts.
Chen Yue smiled slightly, as if he had expected Zhen to have such a question. His eyes were still fixed on Zhen's face, with a determined light flashing in his eyes.
"No one rules, or rather, each of us rules ourselves. In my world, everyone is equal. There is no distinction between high and low from birth. No one needs to endure the pain brought by war. Everyone can live a stable life."
