Chapter 425: Chapter 60 VV and Ying Jun_2 Chapter 425: Chapter 60 VV and Ying Jun_2 She blinked:
“The entire Donghai City spoiled such a little princess.”
“Now that I’ve grown up, become free, and can decide everything for myself, naturally, I wouldn’t envy her anymore.
But actually, when I see her, what I think of is my childhood self…
It may sound a bit pretentious, but the living conditions during my childhood were much happier than most children’s, with material abundance.”
Lin Xian stepped on the brake, bringing the lightning-fast Bugatti Veyron to a stop right in front of the Disney Castle, looking at Zhao Yingjun propped up on the car window frame:
“Everyone urges you to grow up, only Disney forever treats you like a child.”
Zhao Yingjun suddenly turned his head, looking at Lin Xian.
“I saw it in the comment section on Douyin.”
He honestly confessed:
“Get out of the car, we’ve reached our destination.”
Pressing a button, the scissor doors of the Bugatti slowly lifted, the two of them bent down, got out from the low-slung car, one on each side, and walked around it to the front of the Bugatti, looking up at the pitch-black, motionless Disney Castle.
“Looks rather eerie.”
Zhao Yingjun, hands in his pockets, looked up at the towering spires of the castle:
“All right, can you tell me now?
Why did you bring me here?
Lin Xian nodded his head.
Sitting back on the hood of the Bugatti:
“Recently, I had a dream.”
“In it, I dreamt of your little dog.”
“VV?” Zhao Yingjun asked with a smile.
“Yes.” Lin Xian smiled too:
in the dream, it turned into a shabby trash can.
Its name was still VV, but it wasn’t the Pomeranian anymore.
It was like a vacuum robot, always by your side, picking up trash, would pick up the paper balls you threw out, like a dog catching a frisbee, or a bone, and use its mechanical pincers to pick up the paper ball and toss it into its belly.”
“How long did it last?”
“600 years.” Lin Xian said softly.
Zhao Yingjun looked at Lin Xian as if he were a fool, but then he realized it was just a dream and let it go:
“Did I also live for 600 years in your dream?
Then I’d become an old witch.”
“That didn’t happen.”
Lin Xian looked down, scuffing the cooling grid of the Bugatti with his shoe:
“You turned into a statue, a white jade statue, standing in a deserted square.
For centuries there were no others around, just that trash can robot VV, alongside your statue, weathering the rain and wind, enduring hundreds of years.”
“It’s got a bit of a ‘Grimm’s Fairy Tales’ vibe.” Zhao Yingjun nodded:
According to the usual fairy tale narrative, at this point either a prince appears, kisses the statue, and she comes back to life, or some kind of magical spell is spoken to the statue, lifting the curse and turning her human again.”
“There was a magic spell, ‘show me the flower,’ spoken out loud, and then something magical happened.”
Zhao Yingjun raised his eyebrows:
“What magical thing?”
“Want to give it a try?” Lin Xian smiled slightly:
“You can recite the spell to see.”
Zhao Yingjun felt goosebumps all over, almost losing his balance:
“Do we have to play something so cringe?”
“Just give it a try, there’s no harm in trying.”
Lin Xian spread his hands:
“Anyway, there are no outsiders.”
Zhao Yingjun inhaled sharply.
She stood with her back to the Disney castle, facing Lin Xian sitting on the Bugatti’s hood.
It seemed as if all those awkward goosebumps had vanished.
She looked at Lin Xian’s serious face, her slightly opened mouth then closed again.
There really was a moment when she faced Lin Xian , just like the White Jade Statue looking down on a worn and rusty garbage can robot.
It was indeed a powerful spell.
She couldn’t just say it casually, with a casual attitude.
After brewing for a few seconds.
On this cold winter night.
She tightened the collar of her trench coat, exhaling a plume of light white breath:
“show me the flower…”
Lights flared up behind her!
The previously dark and extinguished Disney castle lit up as if it had suddenly been powered on, all its lights turning on at once!
The entire area was illuminated in a splash of colors, bright as day!
The huge commotion made Zhao Yingjun’s eyes widen, and she turned her head back—
Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet!
Above the brightly lit Disney castle, countless colorful fireworks radiated upwards into the sky!
The sky was ablaze with fireworks exploding simultaneously!
Making the already vibrant world even more dazzling and brilliant!
They illuminated the night sky, the land, Zhao Yingjun’s pupils, and her childhood.
She stood there, dumbstruck.
She had never imagined…
That one day, all the fireworks of Disney would belong only to her!
Like the noble girl galloping on horseback who finally got her wish to ride the merry-go-round…
She leaned forward in the music of the music box, reached out to grab the golden ring on the pole, and held it high!
She had won the chance for one more free ride!
She turned her head stiffly to look at Lin Xian:
“Did you really buy Disney?”
Lin Xian smiled without a word, getting up from the Bugatti’s hood:
“I’m sorry for the mess every birthday.
If it’s not a Bentley smashed on the overpass, it’s like today, I remember it one day late.”
