Swish la la la...

The heavy rain mercilessly washed the windows of the living room, as if to submerge everything in this endless curtain of water. Yue Ji lay quietly on the sofa, staring out the window with empty eyes. Next to him was the huge window, and the rain kept hitting the glass, making a crisp and pleasant sound.

His gaze slowly shifted to the three people who were still leaning against the base of the sofa. They seemed to be immersed in the movie. Yue Ji sighed softly and asked again, "What time is it now?" There was a hint of helplessness and fatigue in his voice.

"It's a little after one o'clock. How are you?"

Wang Ye turned around and asked while handing a glass of water to Yue Ji, "You should know how bad your physical condition is."

"You guys chat first, I'm taking Xia Yi to bed, she can't stay up all night."

Suddenly, Pantene spoke. The person leaning on her left shoulder at this moment was Ma Xiayi who was soundly asleep. Yue Ji could not see her face clearly and could only catch a glimpse of her long black hair.

"We've already watched two movies. If you're hungry, I'll order you some takeout. But I'm not sure if it can be delivered in this weather. If not, I'll go make some."

As Wang Ye finished speaking, Yue Ji also took the cup of water and drank it. At this moment, the noisy sound of thunder and rain outside the window also made him feel a long-lost sense of security.

Rumble…

"what……"

Pan Ting, who was about to walk into the bedroom, suddenly trembled, and Ma Xiayi, who was supporting her, almost fell down.

"How old are you and still afraid of thunder? Are you okay?"

Seeing this, Wang Ye hurriedly comforted her and then walked towards Pan Ting. After a while, he closed the bedroom door and sat back down at the base of the sofa.

"I booked a key service while you were asleep. Don't worry, just pick it up in two days. During this time, you should rest well at my house. Otherwise, it would be strange to let you stay at Pantene's house."

Yue Ji just held his forehead when he heard this, "I don't want to cause you any more trouble, really."

"Tell me about it, everything..."

Wang Ye did not respond directly, but just lowered his voice slightly and spoke. At this moment, Yue Ji could only see the back of Wang Ye's head.

"If you don't want to die, just let me go during the day."

"Why, are you going to kill me?"

"If I don't transform, I'm afraid I won't be able to take you down now."

Yue Ji could only smile bitterly, and then continued, "The explosions in Chicago and Fukushima were caused by the other party's self-detonation. Jetton... He forced me to transform, otherwise the alien beast Izumiru, the monster before Jetton, would be so powerful that it would be lawless."

A huge amount of information poured into Wang Ye's mind. After both sides were silent for a long time, he continued to raise the questions in his mind.

"Then why didn't he just absorb the fear from the beginning and take you down directly?"

Wang Ye was relatively familiar with the setting, and it all stemmed from the strange things that happened in the ward.

"He is not sure whether this world will produce the so-called idealistic power. If he takes a different approach and fights me head-on, I will not be able to win. But he is afraid of the bond that will be created by humans."

"Are you afraid that you will transform into Noah? And kill him instantly?"

"You can understand it this way. His plan was very thorough. I had no choice but to force myself on him at the time."

Wang Ye was still a little confused. He turned his head and looked at Yue Ji, "Did you have a chance to get out of the Meta Realm at that time?"

"He interrupted me several times in a row, and I ignored the possibility that he would self-destruct. If it was at the last moment, there should be a chance, but... I hit him on the head."

After saying that, Yue Ji's face sank like a pool of stagnant water, and endless sorrow flooded his body like a tide.

"But the time doesn't match. There were at least ten days between the battle with Jaden and when we were found and sent to the hospital. Why is that?"

"Forget it... I shouldn't have mentioned it. There are many potential dangers that have not been resolved yet. I can't let you stay in the spotlight. Let's not talk about it today."

Yue Ji wanted to sit up after he finished speaking, but Wang Ye started to analyze at this time.

"Faust, Dark Mephistopheles, Dark Zaki, have you seen these three?"

"If you bring up these dangerous topics again, I won't be able to protect you."

Yue Ji answered somewhat helplessly, but the strong feeling of weakness at this moment even made him unable to get up.

"If you have seen it, doesn't it mean that Pan Ting, Ma Xiayi and I will not be in any danger?"

"Can't they just stare at you and kill you? Do you think they're stupid?"

"At this point, I'm on the same path as you, and to be honest, it doesn't really matter."

What Yue Ji didn't expect was that Wang Ye actually showed an indifferent attitude.

"Why? You obviously have people you need to take care of, right?"

The question reached Wang Ye's ears, but the other party did not answer. Yue Ji understood instantly and said no more.

"By the way, are you hungry?"

"Ah."

"Eat something?"

"Eat."

"What to eat?"

"casual."

……

As Wang Ye put the heavy takeout bag on the table, Yue Ji had to make a request.

"I need to use the restroom."

"Go, do you need me to help you?"

"That's not the case. After dinner, I will go to Stone Wing for a while. You should know about this thing."

"I think you might as well have a good sleep here. Maybe you can feel more at ease with us here with you."

Yue Ji used all his strength to stand up, but at the moment he stood up, a strong feeling of dizziness rushed into his mind like a surging tide. He clenched his teeth tightly, trying to endure this extremely uncomfortable feeling, and struggled to stabilize his body.

“I don’t want to see corpses everywhere when I open my eyes. I know you’re good at talking, but when we face death, we all change.”

Wang Ye did not speak, but silently opened the barbecue bag in his hand. In this early morning and pouring rain, the only food that could be delivered to his doorstep was probably the expensive barbecue.

A minute later, Yue Ji returned to Wang Ye's side. Looking at the table full of food, his stomach couldn't help but make a rumbling sound.

"How long has it been since you last had a proper meal?"

"I guess I ate it in the ward last time."

"You are invincible."

Wang Ye sighed lightly, then handed the hand-rolled noodles to Yue Ji. The meat sauce and black pickles were combined to make this delicious noodle soup.

"I ordered quite a lot, you should eat more too."

"That's a lot, are you underestimating my appetite?"

"How would I know? I can't even finish five Pantene in this meal."

There was a sound of dripping rain outside the window. The house was silent. Only the light from the TV illuminated the entire living room. Yue Ji and Wang Ye enjoyed the food together without saying a word.
