It Is Not Easy To Be A Man After Travelling To The Future 549 Merge!

The dark alter ego looked at Xie Yi in disbelief. "Your boss said you might not be the main ego in the end. Why are you still willing to merge?"

Xie Yi smiled. His smile was bright and vibrant just as before. "If you become the main ego, it must be because you are stronger than me. I can accept that." Xie Yi was speaking the truth. If he couldn't even win against his dark alter ego, who had only held his body for a few minutes, he felt that he would have no rights to be the main ego.

The dark alter ego stared at Xie Yi intently. After a few seconds, he turned his head and said to Ling Lan, "Since he's willing to take the risk, I have nothing to worry about either." Ling Lan was very powerful. If Xie Yi chose to suppress him, Ling Lan would definitely help Xie Yi. The dark alter ego knew that at that time, he would be sealed again and this seal would be stronger than the one before. He might not be able to break it at all…

Xie Yi's decision had given him another path. He finally understood what his father's last words meant. Xie Yi was a soft-hearted person. Xie Yi gave him a chance to live after he broke the seal. If he had been the main ego, he would have calculated all his gains and losses and chosen the path that benefited him the most. He would not have given Xie Yi any chances.

As the dark alter ego felt grat.i.tude, the hatred and anger in his heart disappeared. The two people began to grow closer to one another in front of Ling Lan…

"Open your minds and accept one another." Ling Lan's cold voice rang beside their ears and they followed her words. Xie Yi accepted the dark alter ego's negative emotions and the dark alter ego accepted Xie Yi's life in the past 19 years.

"So this is how painful it felt to stay here alone… but all of that is going to end soon. You'll have an interesting life just like mine in the future. I'll accompany you for the rest of your life."

"So you have negative emotions, too. Your life wasn't all happy and smooth. You also had your downs." When the dark alter ego saw the memories of how Ling Lan tormented Xie Yi till he almost died, he laughed silently. "Will I be able to experience all this as well?"

"Yes, we're supposed to be together. You only slept for a few years and missed out on that period. But my memories are yours, just like how your memories are mine, too."

"We'll learn and grow together!" Xie Yi and the dark alter ego smiled at each other, following which they turned into two b.a.l.l.s of mist, which began to intertwine. Gradually, a new human figure was formed.

"What will Xie Yi's personality be like?" Ling Lan thought curiously. She wanted to smile but got a shock instead. She waved her finger and a piece of cloth wrapped around the human figure.

What the h.e.l.l. Did the new human figure have to be naked? Ling Lan was once again reminded that she was a female. She didn't have what the other party had.

Xie Yi abruptly opened his eyes and, noticing the cloth wrapped around him, waved his hand. The cloth disappeared. Ling Lan appeared in front of him. He smiled and cried out, "Boss!"

"Wear your clothes." A cold voice entered his ear.

Xie Yi looked down and he patted his forehead while laughing. He was grateful for his boss' thoughtfulness which prevented him from feeling awkward. He snapped his fingers and his school uniform appeared on him. He looked at himself and made sure that he was presentable before crying out again, "Boss, I'm done."

Ling Lan turned around to look at Xie Yi and asked calmly, "How do you feel?"

Xie Yi took a deep breath and narrowed his eyes, enjoying his current state of being. "I feel good. My body feels energized." He widened his eyes and looked at Ling Lan seriously as he continued, "I want to fight you again. I want to see if you're worthy of my loyalty."

"Loyalty?" Ling Lan raised her eyebrows. "I don't lack people who are loyal to me."

"Like how I was in the past?" Xie Yi gave a sinister smile.

"That's my comrade." Ling Lan walked closer to Xie Yi. Her eyes pierced right into his gaze and he couldn't maintain his smile anymore.

"Aren't you sad that I'm the one here?" Xie Yi tried to force out a smile again. He had made a deal with Xie Yi; he needed to find out what Xie Yi was to Ling Lan.

"He is him, you are you. Is there a difference?" Ling Lan replied indifferently. "I believe him. He won't disappoint me."

"Unfortunately, he lost. He was taken over by me. Your comrade has disappeared." Xie Yi retracted his smile and cold insanity filled his eyes.

Xie Yi's words didn't anger Ling Lan. She reached out to calmly fix Xie Yi's tie, following which she lightly touched Xie Yi's clothes as if she were patting some dust away. After doing all this, she said, "If you want to understand me and understand my relations.h.i.+p with Xie Yi, stay alive. Find and feel it for yourself."

Xie Yi's eyes turned red and tears silently fell from his eyes. "Can I still live?"

"Of course. As long as you want to live, you can. Merging doesn't mean that one of you has to die. You two can live together," Ling Lan replied sincerely.

"I want to live, I want to live…" Xie Yi repeated these words over and over again.

"Continue to live then." Ling Lan hugged Xie Yi tightly and patted his back hard.

Xie Yi's expression became more firm. When he opened his eyes again, the cold insanity in them was gone—his eyes were calm. He raised his head to look at Ling Lan and smiled. "Boss, you're hugging me too tightly. It hurts."

Ling Lan let go of Xie Yi and carefully examined him. She nodded after a while. "Doesn't look bad."

"Isn't it better if I destroy the dark alter ego?" Xie Yi asked unhappily.

"Destroying him won't solve anything," Ling Lan replied nonchalantly. "Also, you can't destroy him. I think that he will most likely destroy you instead."

"Then why didn't you believe him just now?" Xie Yi was curious.

"Because you can't bear to destroy him," Ling Lan replied.

"Not fun at all. How did you know that the personality I showed just now wasn't me?" Xie Yi felt unhappy.

"By feeling," Ling Lan answered. Before Xie Yi could ask anything again, she said, "Since your problem is solved, let's go back now." She snapped her fingers and the both of them disappeared from Xie Yi's mindscape.
