"Are your species numerous? Are there many hosts? If you've existed for a very long time, why haven't humans discovered you?"
Bai Ying calmly watched Gu Ya, making exaggerated chewing motions with her mouth, silently showing Gu Ya that she was enjoying the meal!
Gu Ya sensibly sat up straight, quietly and happily appreciating her eating.
So cute, how could there be such a lovable woman in the world, my woman, hehe.
Bai Ying stared at Gu Ya without reservation, picking up food and putting it in her mouth as she watched.
Neither of them felt awkward.
Gu Ya wasn't awkward because he liked her,
Bai Ying wasn't awkward because she had no emotions.
After Bai Ying finished eating completely, she slowly spoke, "We are not as numerous as you imagine, nor are we that few."
"One in ten thousand people is a host. Within ten square kilometers, there are less than three hundred of my kind wandering."
"Once we successfully host, we will hide in the deepest layers of human consciousness and will not easily show ourselves."
"Even if humans discover our existence, we will disguise ourselves as a second personality."
Gu Ya nodded and said, "I thought you were like my system, bringing some special abilities to your hosts."
"Then I understand. You are actually just a form of consciousness life not yet discovered by humans, and you must host humans. Humans are like your batteries, right?"
Bai Ying nodded and said, "After leaving a host, we can survive for several years to several hundred years."
Gu Ya also nodded and said, "Then I have one last question. Why did you defeat me?"
Bai Ying's expression remained unchanged and she said, "My previous host was a Cyber Mechanic. Moreover, as a consciousness life form in your words, I can control my consciousness and infinitely accelerate or decelerate the flow of consciousness."
Gu Ya's face darkened and he said, "Speak human."
Bai Ying calmly said, "For us, 'time' might be a concept that doesn't exist."
"I can think infinitely long thoughts within an infinitely small time interval. Any speed you humans can create is not fast for us."
"If I wish, I can see every particle of light as it flies."
Gu Ya was even more confused!!!
"Isn't that time stopping!!!"
"Wrong. In a stable medium, time is constant. Just like this moment, sitting in this seat in this guest room on the 57th floor, the speed of time's passage does not change."
"What we can do is accelerate and decelerate the speed of our consciousness flow."
"So for us, 'time' might be a concept that doesn't exist. It's only a possibility."
Gu Ya's head was spinning, this even involved knowledge of general relativity.
Bai Ying continued, "When you controlled the mecha and charged towards me, it was only an instant for humans, but for me, it was too slow. I could take any counter-measures against you during this time."
Gu Ya nodded and said, "Alright, alright, I get it."
Bai Ying stood up, walked around leisurely to digest the food in her stomach, and said calmly, "Do you have any more questions? I'm tired."
Gu Ya said, "Last question. Why are you telling me this? Aren't you afraid I'll spread it out?"
Bai Ying looked at him calmly, as if looking at a still object, and said, "Who would believe you? They'll just think you're crazy."
"Besides, you love Ye Ying so much, would you bear to reveal her secret?"
Gu Ya smiled and said, "I can study you. I have a consciousness research team, and I am a scientist, I can definitely thoroughly research you."
"And..." Gu Ya said, taking out the consciousness visualization device from the system mall, "This thing can let me see you with my own eyes."
Bai Ying looked at Gu Ya blandly, her tone unchanged, and said, "I've hosted so many hosts, seen so many humans, you are the first human to make me feel danger."
"To protect my kind, I am very willing to kill you."
Gu Ya quickly waved his hands and said, "Forget it, forget it! I won't have any ideas about you. But there's one thing I must tell you, I've avenged Ye Ying. I will enter her consciousness world later to help the personalities of Anai and Susanlei transcend."
"I want Ye Ying's illness to be completely cured. Let her stay by my side peacefully."
"If I accidentally break into your consciousness world then, please be merciful!"
Bai Ying tilted her head slightly, looked at Gu Ya, and after a pause, said, "Does such a simple matter need to be made so complicated?"
"To protect the host, I created Anai and Susanlei."
"If Ye Ying's psychological wounds heal, I will proactively erase those two personalities."
Gu Ya said with surprise, "Really!?"
Bai Ying nodded and said, "Provided her psychological wounds can truly heal."
"It's a deal!" Gu Ya stood up, walked to Bai Ying's side, and extended his hand.
Bai Ying hesitated for a moment, then extended her hand and shook Gu Ya's, "You humans always like to complicate simple matters."
After speaking, Bai Ying took off her light blue dress, wearing only her undergarments, and got into the covers on the large bed.
Gu Ya took out a comfortable set of pajamas from the system mall and handed them to her, "Wearing a bra to sleep at night can harm your breasts. Wear pajamas."
Bai Ying glanced at Gu Ya, slowly took the pajamas, and said, "Turn around."
Gu Ya complied, mumbling, "You're not human, do you still care if I look at Ye Ying's body?"
"After I host a human consciousness, I will be influenced by the host's consciousness. I will not do things that the host does not want to do."
This sentence instantly extinguished Gu Ya's next plan.
He originally wanted to sleep with Ye Ying, even if they didn't do anything, just holding her for a night would be good.
This was Gu Ya's biggest dream at the moment!
Bai Ying changed into her pajamas, folded the bra neatly, and placed it on the sofa. She then got into the covers and saw Gu Ya still obediently with his back to her.
"Gu Ya..." Bai Ying called out calmly, "Promise me you won't do anything untoward to me tonight, okay?"
Gu Ya, with his back to Bai Ying, nodded, "Mm, I promise you."
"Then go take a shower, you're dirty and smelly, and getting into bed will affect my sleep," Bai Ying said softly.
Gu Ya was overjoyed, "Hehe, looks like there's hope!"
He quickly and diligently took a shower, Gu Ya even took out a bottle of luxury perfume from the system mall, sprayed it on his head, then took a step forward, bathing in the fine perfume mist.
When he came out of the bathroom, he was refreshed and fragrant.
Gu Ya came to the bed, untied the towel, put on his pajamas, and said softly, "Then I'll come in, uh, perhaps I should sleep on the sofa?"
Bai Ying, with her back to him, said, "I don't mind, but Ye Ying wouldn't bear to let you sleep on the sofa. Come in."
Gu Ya's heart leaped with joy, and he happily got into the covers.
The bed was just the right firmness, and the quilt was soft, with just the right weight and excellent breathability – it was simply a divine artifact for sleep!
"Ah—!" Gu Ya let out a long sigh of relief, finally getting to sleep in the same bed as Ye Ying as he had wished!
Even if they didn't do anything, Gu Ya was a hundred percent satisfied!
Bai Ying turned over, facing Gu Ya, and looked at him calmly, saying, "Are you afraid of me? Why are you so far away?"
"Uh..." Gu Ya felt a bit embarrassed. Didn't you just say nothing could be done! I'm keeping my distance to give you space!
Bai Ying said softly, "Come here..."
Alright.
Gu Ya nimbly moved closer, not taking the opportunity would make him an idiot.
Bai Ying seemed to be waiting for Gu Ya to make a move, but Gu Ya placed his hands flat on his stomach, doing nothing.
After watching for a while, Bai Ying asked softly, "If it were Ye Ying, would you hug her?"
"Yes, of course!" Gu Ya smiled gently.
Bai Ying looked into Gu Ya's eyes and said softly, "Please treat me as Ye Ying. I've seen her dreams, all of them are scenes of being with you."
"I used to be very curious about what kind of person you are, to make her love you so deeply."
Gu Ya was a bit shocked.
Ye Ying was very good at hiding her emotions, especially her affection.
Gu Ya had only slightly experienced her affection from her kiss when they were apart.
So Ye Ying loved him so deeply!
What Bai Ying said was definitely true; as a consciousness life form, she could see all of Ye Ying's thoughts.
Gu Ya smiled gently at Bai Ying, extended his arm, and let Bai Ying rest her head on his arm, her forehead against his chest, gently hugging her shoulder with his bent arm.
He placed his other hand lightly on her waist.
"Is that okay?" Gu Ya asked.
Bai Ying nodded, closed her eyes.
Gu Ya breathed a sigh of relief, his long-held dream had finally come true.
Even if the person in front of him wasn't Ye Ying, it didn't matter.
Gu Ya knew that Ye Ying's personality was currently asleep, and perhaps she could feel Gu Ya's presence.
The night was long,
Let's slowly savor the taste of love.
