After Transmigrating into a book, I Was Played By a Black Lotus

Chapter 80 Duel Timeline

As night fell, the heavy curtains were drawn tight, and only the light from the television illuminated the room.

Just as she was finishing a small four-inch cake, Bai Xiying realized she had chosen a sci-fi film about overlapping timelines.

In that instant, it struck her.

A dual-timeline world.

She had returned from the past, changing everything, yet her essence still existed in this world. Lin Xingzhu was an existence from a realm beyond her own timeline, a visitor to this world.

This was something science could not explain.

But thinking about her rebirth, about Lin Xingzhu, made it seem absurd to bring up science at this moment.

She herself was already a being that defied the boundaries of science.

Yet, because she had broken scientific limits, her existence had extended into another mysterious and unprovable unknown, which created a terror that felt like falling into an abyss.

She was like that; so was Lin Xingzhu.

She couldn't explain Lin Xingzhu's origins with words, nor could she fathom whether she would leave again.

At that moment, all her insecurities, anger, and repression paled in comparison to the fear of losing Lin Xingzhu.

Bai Xiying sat in the living room all night.

When dawn's light penetrated the thick curtains, bringing a faint glow, Bai Xiying slowly calmed down.

She collected all her outward emotions, neatly and carefully burying them deep within herself, leaving no trace on her face.

But Lin Xingzhu knew her very well.

That special intuition of capturing Bai Xiying's emotions stirred, and Lin Xingzhu rose, looking at her from behind: "Bai Xiying, what's wrong?"

Bai Xiying lowered her head, neatly placing the cleaned cups on the rack, not replying immediately.

After placing them down, she looked at the two quiet cups resting together and smiled slightly.

Only then did she say, "Is it wrong for me to praise you?"

Lin Xingzhu remained silent, her expression serious.
