Richest Man: Divine-Grade Reconstruct System Chapter 903 863: A Thousand-Year Dream

However, thinking about it eventually brought him some relief. He went up and, with a hint of annoyance, gently patted the quilt before speaking with a tone of resignation:

"Alright, stop hiding in there. It's already midday, time to get up."

After saying this, he pretended as if nothing happened and turned to leave the room.

Moreover, he intentionally slammed the door shut to make it clear to the other person that he had left the room.

Yet, although he appeared carefree, treating the other person like a sister, only he knew the bitterness and helplessness that dwelled in his heart.

Since things have already happened, it was too late to say anything more.

Rather than dwell on it, it was better to give this girl the impression that he regarded her as a sister.

He acted as though this was no big deal at all.

Only this way could he alleviate the awkwardness between them, and help this girl gradually let go of her illusions about him.

Upon hearing the sound of the door closing, Leng Yu, under the quilt, slowly and cautiously opened a small slit, peering through it to check the surroundings. When she confirmed there was no trace of anyone, she finally pulled the quilt off her head.

Yet as she gazed at the empty room, her heart suddenly felt hollow, though her charming face still bore a gentle blush.

Such a thing was indeed her first time experiencing it; it was a situation she had never dared to imagine growing up.

She never thought she would muster the courage to do such a thing; it had consumed all her bravery.

It's worth noting that she had prepared herself mentally last night, ready to devote everything.

Yet, throughout the night, Young Master Lin slept soundly, doing nothing but holding her, without any further action.

By the candlelight, Leng Yu kept her gaze fixed on Lin Yi's handsome face, her heart pounding wildly like a fawn.

Ultimately, exhaustion overcame her, and she couldn't help but fall asleep.

In her dreams, she envisioned a sweet dream, imagining herself living a life akin to an immortal couple with Young Master Lin.

Of course, it was all just a dream. From Young Master Lin's behavior, she could discern that he was intentionally distancing himself from her.

Although she didn't understand why it was so, the fact was undeniable, Young Master Lin indeed acted this way.

Despite knowing this, she hadn't given up on the belief.

Her belief that somehow, she would find a way to be with Young Master Lin.

Last night, washing his feet and spending the night embraced by Young Master Lin was quite a breakthrough for her.

She believed that tonight, it would naturally follow that she could share a bed with Young Master Lin once more.

Reading this, some might say, isn't Leng Yu a bit too open-minded?

Isn't she taking chastity too lightly?

In this context, it must be mentioned that the reality is quite the opposite.

In these ancient times, women held their chastity in extremely high regard. Having made this choice, she dedicated herself entirely to this one man for life.

So why would Leng Yu act in such a way? It relates somewhat to her personality.

After all, she's the kind of person who charges forward with determination; once she decides on something, she'll see it through no matter what.

After it's done, she wouldn't regret it.

This is Leng Yu, the same Leng Yu who could remain calm and unfazed facing thousands on the battlefield.

This is the precious gem of the Border Army General.

After stepping out of the room, Lin Yi gazed at the azure sky, taking a deep breath involuntarily.

At this moment, nobody knew that in the azure sky, Lin Yi's eyes were slowly revealing two figures.

One was Xiao Zihan, and the other was his beloved daughter.

Time has flown by, and he had been here for several days now; he didn't know what things had turned into on the other side, whether it had become a chaotic mess, or whether Xiao Zihan, at this moment, was heartbroken due to his sudden disappearance.

He didn't even dare to think, fearing that his sudden vanishing had plunged his family into grief.

Thinking about this caused him to ponder when the System Space would awaken again.

To be aware, the events of last night were already crazy enough; he had directly approached the King of Dayou, and made him make some assurances.

If this fellow conformed, soon enough, the entire Dayou kingdom would be under his control.

Such a matter, Lin Yi believed, was of immense significance.

Through this, perhaps he could accumulate substantial energy for the system, the only question was whether once the energy arrived, the system would be able to wake up again.

He's longing so eagerly to return to Earth, yearning to meet Xiao Zihan and the others, even if it's just to say a temporary goodbye, far better than disappearing so abruptly.

Thinking about this, he couldn't help but call out within his heart, summoning the system, wondering if it could open again.

Yet, in response to his call, was endless silence within his mind, as if the system didn't exist at all.

As if he'd never been here, if not for the presence of System Space, which could freely contain and release items, he would've doubted whether his memories were wrong.

If he hadn't just woken up from a long sleep, and dreamed a very long dream, dreaming of arriving on Earth a thousand years from now.

Nevertheless, Lin Yi quickly pulled his thoughts back to reality.

After all, he knew profoundly that waiting would lead to nothing.

The only thing he needed to do was to strive, work hard to make the system awaken as soon as possible, work hard to supply the system with enough energy, only then might he fulfill his wish.

Perhaps only if he completed the tasks given by the system, could he find himself back in the 21st century.

Thinking about this, he silently took a breath for himself, fiercely punching the air.
