"I am not a bad person, I am just an idiot!" Song Pearl suddenly shouted and jumped up like a crazy fairy, but because she didn't notice the stone wall protruding above her, her forehead bumped against it with a loud thud, immediately swelling into a large bump.
"Indeed, you are an idiot!" The demon on her finger felt the jolt.
Song Pearl ignored the demon's mockery, covering the swollen bump on her forehead, desperately holding back the tears that threatened to spill from the sudden impact, though her eyelashes were already damp with droplets.
She ran forward frantically, not noticing the many staff members and unfamiliar faces along the way, as if searching for something.
Her mind was in chaos, as if it was the first time she was using her brain to think, but it felt like her thoughts were all mushy.
The events she was experiencing now were vastly different from the scenes she had just dreamed about, where she was Wu Qiang's daughter, enjoying a pampered life.
Moreover, there was no mention of Resort in her dream; Song Family Village's Land Temple remained ancient, where Aunt Liu, a half-immortal, resided.
In her dream, she was human, not a fish.
Now she was a fish soul in a human body, observing everything around her with a detached attitude.
Could it be otherwise?
Could it be that she had always been human but had mistakenly taken on a fish's form?
Was all of this intentional?
Why would Song Zhenbao snatch Song Pearl's Amber? And the timing of the theft was so coincidental; did she know that Amber was the token for Wu Qiang and his daughter's reunion?
If there were no demons and no her, only a true Song Pearl, what would everything look like?
No assumptions, no "what ifs."
The reality is that she is Song Pearl.
Having accepted this body, regardless of right or wrong, she does not want to see so many innocent people die tragically. If the same scenario were to unfold again because she cannot marry, then among those innocent people would also be herself.
Well, no matter the situation, marrying is the way to go. Since she already knows who that person is, she will find a way to marry him!
After sorting out her thoughts, Song Pearl suddenly felt a sense of relief. She realized she had somehow returned to the side of Fish Pond.
She stood up and brushed off the weeds clinging to her clothes before heading back to her place. At that moment, a sharp pain surged through her forehead, prompting her to put down the Amber Necklace she had been tightly gripping and apply a cold towel soaked in saltwater to the swollen abscess.
"Can't your wound heal by itself?" The demon slid off Song Pearl's thumb and stuck out its tongue, watching her meticulously reduce the swelling.
Song Pearl seemed not to hear and continued mechanically with a blank expression, suddenly saying, "No, I have to get married right away."
"To whom?" the demon asked.
"Qing Wenyu, the one I dreamed about!" Song Pearl looked at the demon, her black eyes shining like pearls.
"Qing Wenyu? How could it be him? That man who has been entangled with Sister Hong for many years!" The demon had a poor impression of Qing Wenyu.
"That's just what their families want; in reality, they are like siblings. Hong Xinran never intended to marry him."
"Have you had feelings for him all along to defend him like this?"
"I'm not defending him. I'm stating facts. Qing Wenyu, he has feelings for everyone but no real feelings for anyone; it's hard to see through him. That's why Hong Xinran doesn't want to marry him. But that has nothing to do with my marrying him; I'm going to do it now!" Song Pearl grabbed her phone.
"What are you going to give him?" The demon climbed onto the phone, blocking her actions and staring at Song Pearl. "Are you going to tell him you're a demon who can transform into a human to save him? Then you'll get married right away, and he'll agree?"
Song Pearl stopped moving, turning into a stubborn fool once again.
She really intended to do that, but if she did, Qing Wenyu would definitely not marry her and would probably avoid her like she was insane. Perhaps he would even mistakenly think he liked her!
Song Pearl lay back on the bed, staring at the floral ceiling above her.
"Pearl, are you back?" came the voice of Liu Cuiying from outside the door, accompanied by a handsome, sunny young man.
"Oh, I'm back." Song Pearl turned over, tossed aside the towel that had slipped from her forehead, and opened the door.
"Look who’s here! This handsome guy came to see you. I recognized him at first glance after several years!" Liu Cuiying laughed heartily as she pushed Song Pearl aside and walked into the room.
Liu Cuiying pulled the young man to sit down next to her, appearing very intimate. With bright eyes, she asked, "I remember you're an official from Provincial Capital. Did you come to our Resort for fun or to see Pearl?"
"Ah, both," he replied ambiguously.
"In our place, you're already in high school. How old are you? You don’t seem to have grown up at all," Liu Cuiying said curiously and gossipingly. "Is there some secret to not aging? If so, give it to me. I'll take it to the Land Temple on the back mountain and promote it; I guarantee it will boost the incense there!"
He awkwardly coughed and shook his head. With a grin, he said, "Auntie, I think you look much younger than a few years ago. Do you have a secret too?"
"Really?" Liu Cuiying touched her face and smiled.
In the past two years, she had been carefree and financially secure, eating well and sleeping well. After work, she even exercised more often, looking much better than when her skin was weathered by sun and wind.
"Don't you think our Pearl has become even more beautiful?" Liu Cuiying pointed at Song Pearl, her finger hovering in the air as Song Pearl’s forehead bump was almost as large as half her face.
"Yes..." The young man's answer was already too late to take back, his mouth wide open as he dragged out the sound.
He also just saw Song Pearl in a predicament.
"Mom, hurry up and go check on your Fish Pond for money!" Song Pearl pushed Liu Cuiying outside. "I think I saw Treasure coming."
Due to the frequent interactions with Wu Qiang, Song Zhenbao was no longer a taboo topic. Song Pearl casually mentioned her, but Liu Cuiying, who had been looking cheerful, suddenly changed her expression.
Song Zhenbao was taken away mistakenly, and Liu Cuiying played no role in that. This is why Song Shiting has always been angry with her about this matter over the years.
Song Pearl noticed Liu Cuiying's discomfort but immediately ignored it. She added, "I just ran into her; she wants to come home to see you all!"
"Really?" Liu Cuiying's eyes showed unreserved joy. "Then I'll go get ready; you all chat." She took a few steps and turned back, "Pearl, help me cover my shift at the payment point!"
Liu Cuiying had used Song Pearl's authority to skip work for personal tasks more than once or twice, and it was common for her to make Song Pearl do work during her free time.
Song Pearl had never refused. This time, she nodded in agreement again.
"Your mom really doesn't act like a real mom!" A friend complained while watching Liu Cuiying's departing figure on behalf of Song Pearl. "Who is that Treasure? Your twin sister?"
