"Thank you." On the way to the cafeteria, Shen Tianyun said to Lin Xueyue. After this morning incident the class went on with a gloomy atmosphere, He said nothing to her and now it's the right time to talk with her.
Lin Xueyue shook her head in reply and kept silent. Shen Tianyun knew that she probably had something in her mind thus, he didn't say anything further. They bought some food and slowly ate together. Lin Xueyue hesitating for a moment before broke the silence.
"Last night I dreamed." She said.
"Hmm?" Shen Tianyun didn't quite understand what she wanted to say, he only raised his head to look at her.
Lin Xueyue continues, "In the dream, you are the CEO of the giant company name Heavenly Cloud Group, and my name is Dongfang Xueyue." She said with a confused tone.
Shen Tianyun's heart shook violently, of course, what she dreamed was not the dream, it was his previous life. When he transmigrates to this world, he is always suspicious about Lin Xueyue whether or not she is Dongfang Xueyue.
Lin Xueyue's face flushed slightly before she said, "In that dream I was… no, I mean Dongfang Xueyue was madly in love with you. It was a one-sided love. I don't know what's going on, but it looks so real to me. All the feeling and her experience, I can feel it as if it was my true self."
Shen Tianyun inhaling a deep breath to calm himself down, his brain working intensively right now. Many possibilities came across his mind. Suddenly, as if he realized something, he pulled his phone out and looked for a certain number. Finally, he saw the name 'Goddess of Love' in his contact list. He remembered that he could contact her once per month. This Goddess of Love should know about this matter since she was the one who transmigrated him to this world.
He puts the phone down and looks at the confused Lin Xueyue then smiles warmly, "Do you believe in reincarnation?" He asked.
Lin Xueyue tilted her head slightly and thought for a moment before reply, "I'm not sure but I know there are mysterious things in the world that are yet to be discovered. I think reincarnation should exist."
Shen Tianyun kept smiling at her for a while, he reached his hand to grab hers. Lin Xueyue was stunned by his action however, she didn't resist it, and what surprised her is that she even feels good about it.
"Don't worry about it, your dream is not a bad thing. Perhaps, one day you will understand it." His voice was very gentle, and there was a hint of tenderness in it.
Lin Xueyue felt warm inside her heart, she was both confused and felt the calmness at the same time. She felt the mysterious aura coming from Shen Tianyun as if she didn't know him anymore.
"I will go make some calls, you can go back to the classroom first." Shen Tianyun quickly headed towards the fire exit. He pulled out his phone and called to the Goddess of Love.
"So honey now~ Take me into your loving arms~ Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars…" The music coming from his phone, black lines appearing on his forehead. He never thought this Goddess would use this famous song for her ring-tone. She is supposed to be a God right? Why is she listening to mortal music? He thought if this is a scam.
"Hello! Who are you? I'm quite busy right now you know?" When the call was connected, a lazily voice rang from the other side. The voice was so clear and pleasant to hear.
"Hello is this Goddess of Love?" Shen Tianyun hurried replied.
"Yes! You don't know who you just calling to? And who are you? Hurry I'll give you 10 seconds to explain yourself. I'm busy here you know. I'm climbing the ranking in League of Legends right now!" Goddess of Love replied with an impatient tone, she was busy playing games and this call ruined her moods.
Shen Tianyun was speechless, not only this Goddess listening to mortal music, and she even played games. "Erm… my name is Shen Tianyun. You just sent me here to a paralleled world of Earth and give me a 7 Maidens System. I'm calling you to ask for something."
"Ah!? Shen Tianyun? Well, let me look at your profile first." Goddess of Love replied and followed with a sound of keyboard tapping loudly.
"So it's you… hmm… I see. I remember now. So what do you want to ask me? I will answer just one question. Oh… you can call me Supreme Great Goddess Xi Yao or Unparalleled Beauty Goddess Xi Yao. Calling me Goddess of Love is too long." She said, her voice still filled with a lazy tone throughout the conversation.
「Too long my ass!!, what you want me too calling you are even longer than Goddess of Love.」 Shen Tianyun could only curse secretly in his mind.
"Erm… Goddess Xi Yao, I want to know if my friend Lin Xueyue in this world and Dongfang Xueyue from my previous world are the same person or not?" Shen Tianyun resisted the urge to curse out loud and asked her in a polite tone.
"Oh? Did you notice it already? Yes, they are the same person, more precisely they are half-souls of each other and their souls fused now. When the time comes she will regain her memory from another half… You should also experience yourself, right? Do you feel that some of your personalities have changed? It was because your soul and Shen Tianyun's soul of this world have already been fused." Goddess Xi Yao explained.
Her words were like giant stones that smashed against his chest to crush his original beliefs and understanding of his transmigrated incident. His doubt also becomes clearer, he always suspects about his weird behavior when he met those beautiful women, it was as if he couldn't control his lust. It turned out that he got affected by the former Shen Tianyun's soul. He hurried to ask further, "Does Shen Xiaohong also come to this world?"
"Ah-ha! I won't spoil you any further. Go find the truth by yourself!. I will hang up now. Don't call me if you don't have anything important. I'm busy all the time, understand?….AHH!! Why did they banned Yasuo!?" She disconnected the call after that. Shen Tianyun was so angry and don't have anywhere to vent he immediately cursed out loud.
Ding!!
The sound rang out from his phone; he looked at it and saw a new message notification.
'How dare you curse at this Goddess!? Next time I won't help you anymore!' This is the detail in the message from Goddess Xi Yao. Shen Tianyun was subconsciously looking around and wanted to find someone but he didn't see anyone around him. He scratched his head awkwardly. Shaking his head, he fell into deep thought. He more or less believes that Shen Xiaohong comes to this world, he has an urge to go out and search for her immediately but he knows that right now he can't do so.
When he thinks about Lin Xueyue's matters, he doesn't know how to approach her anymore. Although technically they are the same person, Shen Tianyun doesn't know that after Lin Xueyue regains the memory of Dongfang Xueyue, she will still be the same Dongfang Xueyue that loves him dearly or not. After considering carefully he feels that it doesn't matter anymore, no matter what she becomes, he will try his best to make her become his woman. He let out a long sigh before turning around and left the fire exit, heading back to the classroom.
......
The afternoon class had passed by quickly, compared to the morning class, the atmosphere was better and returned to its normal. Shen Tianyun bid farewell to Lin Xueyue and Liu Feiyan, today he wanted to roam around the city and look for a good place to set up the stall. Last time he got a Heavenly Jade Bun recipe from the lottery, he had the idea to sell this steamed bun. Although he doesn't know what it tastes like, it should be better than any steamed bun in this world because it comes from Heaven Realm.
Shen Tianyun took a bus headed to the outer city area, it was a working-class residential area. He planned to start his steamed bun stall there, his goal was simple, he needed to accumulate the fame of steamed bun first and the working class would be the best target to aim for. The wealthy class rarely eats steamed buns for breakfast. Most of the working-class would eat a steamed bun daily because it's cheap and easily fills their stomach.
On the bus, he calls the lottery function and uses his 300 Fame points to draw it. Maybe he was cursed by Goddess Xi Yao, his 6 draws end up with 3 blank and 3 items. The first item he gets was [Invisible Talisman (C)], this item will make the user invisible for 1 minute. Although it is a great item, 1 minute is too short to do anything. The second item was [Stuffed Candy (D)], this candy will make you stop hungry for 1 day and it will give you a portion of nutrition equal to 3 meals. Shen Tianyun didn't think much about this item.
The third item was [Comfy Sandal (E)], this is nothing but normal sandal that could change its size to match the user. It dumbfounded Shen Tianyun for a while after seeing these 3 items. He put everything into his school bag and looked at the scenery along the road. The bus gradually approached the outer city, some of these workers just finished their job and some of them just started working. Shen Tianyun was more or less used to this kind of atmosphere, he was also a working-class before.
He knew very well how tired after working for the entire day, your body will become so exhausted and the scariest thing was tomorrow you will have to go through it again. The payment was incompatible with their spent labors and hours. Not to mention their health issue caused by excessive physical usage, and they didn't have any health insurance. This is the fact in every society, the rich will get richer and the poor will stay poor unless they find a fortuitous opportunity that could overturn their life. Shen Tianyun never viewed himself as a messiah but he always gave enough opportunities to the people, the money he earned was enough for 10 lifetimes thus, he loved to donate it and turned the money into countless facilities for those who were in need.
Shen Tianyun stepped out of the bus, looking around observing the place. The residential area was filled with various types of accommodations from the good-looking apartment to the shabby one as his old house in the slums. When Shen Tianyun was walking to his old house, he wanted to find Auntie Feng. Back in the day, Auntie Feng and Grandma Su always became good friends to each other, and she treated Shen Tianyun and Grandma Su very well despite having her difficulty. He wanted to give her a chance to turn her life to a better one.
Approaching his old house is still in the repairing process. After Shen Tianyun and Grandma Su moved out, Fang Yulan contacted the landlord and gave them a hefty compensation. Suddenly, he saw a petite figure of a young girl who was around 11 - 12 years old standing and watching the laborers repairing his old house. She has black hair that is tied into 2 cute little buns, her face couldn't be described as pretty but it is still decent with a childish complexion. Her big round innocent eyes staring at the people curiously. She was wearing a small dirty white T-shirt that already turned yellow along with small old pants that had a little hole in it. He remembers that she is Auntie Feng's daughter, Feng Sisi.
"Sisi, what are you doing here?" Shen Tianyun approached the little girl and called out, Feng Sisi turned her little head to look at him, her eyes lit up excitedly. She quickly ran to him and threw herself into Shen Tianyun's embrace.
"Wuwu… Big Brother Tianyun! Sisi thought that she will never see you again." She cried her heart out, Shen Tianyun felt a little heartache. Although he never been in touch with her after he came to this world, from the memory of the former Shen Tianyun, He knows that this little girl was always fond of him, and he treated her as a real little sister. Shen Tianyun recalled when Shen Xiaohong was still young, she used to cry in his embrace like this.
"Nonsense! Big Brother will never leave you, Sisi stops crying okay? Big Brother has bought you a new shoe and candy for you." Thinking about his item that he got from the lottery while ago, he pulled it out from his school bag.
Feng Sisi stops crying, she rubs her red eyes looking at the brown color sandal and the candy in Shen Tianyun's hand confusingly. Shen Tianyun picked her small bare feet up and put the [Comfy Sandal (E)] to it. The sandal magically changed its size to match her feet size.
"Wow! Big Brother Tianyun. Is this magic?" Feng Sisi covered her little mouth with her two hands, her expression was cute. Her eyes widened open after witnessing the magical scene on her feet.
Shen Tianyun chuckled a little and said, "This is our secret okay? Don't tell your mother." Feng Sisi nodding her head furiously. Shen Tianyun unwraps the candy and sends the orange color candy to her. Feng Sisi smelled it a little before putting it in her mouth.
"Wow! So delicious!" Feng Sisi exclaimed out loud, her eyes curved into the crescent-moon shape indicated how happy she was right now. Shen Tianyun also felt incomparably happy in his heart. However, from an outsider perspective, they probably thought that he was the strange uncle who tries to kidnap children.
"Sisi, where is your mother?" After a while, he asked her.
The little girl Sisi pointed her finger at her own house and said, "Mom is in the house, I was bored so I came out to play!" Shen Tianyun was amused by her action, he then held her hand and walked toward Auntie Feng's house.
