"Good pain!"
Robin suddenly let out a cry of pain. Immediately after, she felt as if some barrier in her mind had shattered. A flood of both familiar and unfamiliar memories surged forth continuously in her mind.
'Penacony Daily, the Harmonious Music Ceremony has entered the countdown phase…'
'I'm sorry, Robin. Only you… only I don't want you to…'
'[Order]… [Harmony]… [Causality]…!'
Perhaps unable to bear this immense flood of memories all at once, the girl felt her consciousness blur for a moment. Her figure wavered, and she began collapsing toward the concrete pavement beside her.
"Danger—"
Firefly, who had witnessed everything from the side, had just wanted to shout the word "danger."
However, a figure was faster than her by a fraction. Before she could utter the second word…
Yun Fan appeared behind Robin like a streak of lightning. In the blink of an eye, he was there, steadily catching the falling girl.
Firefly: '｡◔‸◔｡'
Returning the perspective to Robin and Yun Fan.
The girl's fall had come so suddenly that Robin's mother hadn't been able to react in time.
By the time she tried to stretch out her arms to catch her collapsing daughter, Robin's head was already less than twenty centimeters from the ground.
At this critical moment, Yun Fan suddenly appeared behind Robin. A pair of broad hands steadily caught the falling girl. Then, with a firm lift, he held her in his arms in a princess carry.
"Yun Fan?"
After recognizing the person before her, Robin's mother was first stunned. Her tone carried a hint of surprise.
"Mm, Mom, it's me."
Looking at the woman before him, Yun Fan nodded slightly and addressed her as such.
Although the woman before him was merely a manifestation of the memetic matter in Robin's dream, nominally she was still Robin's mother.
"Daddy!"
Upon seeing Yun Fan, Zhi happily called out "Daddy!" and then ran over to his side.
The little girl had originally wanted to reach out and hug Yun Fan, but since her hands were still holding the injured little bird, she could only shake her head regretfully in the end.
"Mm, Zhi is so good."
Hearing Zhi call him "Daddy," Yun Fan's heart nearly melted. Back on the Blue Star, when he was still just an ordinary university student, he had already planned it out.
Once he got married, he would definitely have a daughter.
'No, no. Once we get out of the dream, I have to pass this memory to my main body. He needs to work hard and strive to have a daughter soon.'
"Yun Fan, what's wrong with Robin?"
Seeing Robin unconscious in Yun Fan's arms, Robin's mother's face showed a trace of worry. Her daughter had always been fine. Why did she suddenly faint today?
"Mom, Robin is fine. She just has a bit of low blood sugar. She'll be okay after getting some sugar."
Yun Fan naturally knew exactly what situation Robin was in at the moment. From her appearance just now, she must have touched the barrier dominated by "Ena's Dream."
Her consciousness had broken through the control and recovered all her memories. Her sea of consciousness couldn't handle such a large amount of information all at once, so she had fallen into a brief coma.
This phenomenon was actually the brain's self-protection mechanism. Once Robin woke up, she would understand her current situation.
"Low blood sugar?"
Upon hearing the words "low blood sugar," Robin's mother was naturally confused. She had raised Robin for so many years—how could she not know that this child had a problem like "low blood sugar"?
Thinking this, although Robin's mother had some doubts in her heart, she didn't ask any further.
Because she knew her son-in-law wouldn't lie to her.
"Mom, let's not talk about this for now. Let's go home first. Robin needs to rest."
"Oh! Right, right, right. Let's go back first!"
Gently holding Robin in his arms, Yun Fan cast an apologetic glance in Firefly's direction. The latter rolled her eyes slightly but didn't say anything more.
Sigh… Yun Fan, this guy. He's clearly a sentimental scumbag, yet he's unexpectedly very gentle…
— — — —
Robin felt as if she had just had a very, very long dream. In the dream, she was a famous singer known throughout the universe, belonging to the Iris Family of Penacony.
Her older brother, Sunday, was the head of the Oak Family and oversaw Penacony's politics.
As for her mother…
She had already died in that chaotic war. The siblings had been adopted by Gopher Wood and raised until adulthood.
In the days that followed, she had walked the Path of [Harmony]. Eventually, due to a family-arranged marriage, she gained an Emanator as her partner—the Emanator of [Causality], Yun Fan…
In the dream world, the unconscious Robin's brows were tightly furrowed. Fine beads of sweat appeared on her smooth forehead. Her condition did not look optimistic.
"Daddy, Mommy she…"
Zhi looked at Robin's state, both small hands tightly clutching the hem of her own clothes.
The little girl's black-pearl-like eyes were filled with worry and panic. Tears welled up in them, as if she would start crying at any moment.
"Zhi, be good. Mommy is fine. She'll wake up very soon."
Yun Fan reached out and gently comforted the flustered Zhi. Then he used a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from Robin's forehead before sitting by the bed and continuing to wait.
At this moment, Robin's consciousness was in the midst of confronting "Taiyi's Dream."
Yun Fan could feel that in this battle without gunpowder, Robin's consciousness had already gained the upper hand. Soon, the girl would wake up and recover all her memories.
Once Robin woke up, she would realize that she was currently in an illusory world. Returning to clear reality would then be nothing more than a simple matter.
Shifting his gaze away from Robin, Yun Fan looked at Zhi beside him. A doting expression couldn't help but appear on his handsome face.
"Little Yun Zhi, did you miss Daddy during the time I wasn't here?"
Zhi was Yun Fan's daughter's nickname, so her full name must be Yun Zhi. As for whether she might have taken her mother's surname…
That said, what surname did Robin and Sunday use?
