Help, I've become a paper man

"Hello." Xu Yueran said as she walked towards them.

The butler smiled skillfully, and even though he was standing there, he was somewhat welcoming. In contrast, Song Yi, who was standing aside, was obviously dazed.

It's all because of this face.

Xu Yueran looked extremely similar to many fish. At first glance, Song Yi almost thought he had recognized the wrong person. However, when he got closer, the difference in temperament between the two became apparent. The difference was even too obvious, and Song Yi came to his senses. The gap in his heart became even greater for a moment, and it was somewhat difficult for him to accept it.

He also replied casually: "Ah, hello."

While they were talking, Xu Yueran had already walked closer. The three of them stood face to face, and for a moment, no words were spoken.

After all, to a certain extent, they didn't know each other, and there wasn't much to say. After a few seconds of silence, Song Yi was about to speak first to break the silence. The housekeeper saw his change in attitude, fearing that he would say something outrageous again, and said first: "Mr. Xu, long time no see, you have made good progress in the new business you have recently carried out."

The familiarity shown in the words did not sound fake. They both knew that it was just a polite remark. However, Song Yi, the naive child, looked around before he was sure that it was an act.

Xu Yueran smiled politely, nodded to the housekeeper, and replied: "Thank you for your care. I still have a lot to learn."

The words were said beautifully, and he even put on an attitude of humbly seeking advice, looking gentle and elegant, but Song Yi saw it, and the word "graceful" inexplicably emerged in his mind, but he rejected it the next second. It was just a flash, and then the appearance of many fish emerged.

What matters is the life and death of many fish.

Song Yi thought so, and took a step forward, closing the distance between him and Xu Yueran. He ignored the atmosphere maintained by the two and asked bluntly, "Can you revive many fish?"

Xu Yueran had just turned his head when he suddenly stopped. He was originally following Song Yi's movements with a leisurely gaze. When he heard the question, doubts gradually emerged on his face, and gradually turned into surprise, as if he had come across something that was difficult to understand.

Song Yi's anger rose, but he suddenly stopped, and Xu Jing's words popped into his mind. He named many of the fish himself...

"Do you have enough stardust and materials for resurrection? If not, we can provide support," said Song Yi.

Xu Yueran's originally maintained expression froze. The calmness on her face faded away, revealing clear astonishment and a flash of anger, which then hid under the mask of calm.

He looked at Song Yi and said calmly, "Ah, so this kind of thing can have a name."

No one spoke for a while, the atmosphere was deadlocked, the suppressed anger accumulated like a dormant volcano, waiting for the opportunity to wake up. Both of them were trying their best to control their rationality, mainly because Song Yi's rationality was running out. If the butler hadn't stepped forward, stood beside him, blocked the two of them and prevented their eyes from meeting, Song Yi would have taken action first.

In his anger, for a second, Song Yi even distractedly thought that the advice everyone had given him before was correct. He should really heal his injuries before trying again. Otherwise, he would not be able to move and would need others to push him. When a fight really came, he would not be able to start, and he would be even angrier.

Although I haven't taken any action yet.

Song Yi took a deep breath and asked again: "Can you help me revive him?"

The respect that was originally given to the "masters" of many fish was exhausted at this time, and Song Yi's remaining politeness was no longer there. Hearing this, the butler sighed silently, stepped to the right, made room between the two of them, and no longer tried to stop Song Yi.

Perhaps at this moment, the light in Xu Yueran's eyes was trying to express something, but the next moment, Xu Yueran adjusted her smile and said calmly:

"impossible."

"Why?" Song Yi asked, and seeing Xu Yueran looking at the housekeeper as if she was about to speak, he hurriedly asked: "Is there any difficulty?"

Xu Yueran stopped, glanced at Song Yi again, and said casually: "No difficulty."

Then, Xu Yueran looked at the housekeeper again and continued, "I still have some work to do. If there is nothing else that requires my cooperation, I will..."

As soon as the farewell gesture was made, Song Yi became more anxious. He subconsciously took a step forward, ready to negotiate again, and even had the idea of ​​"talking with force". Fortunately, he held back the next moment, mainly because he saw Yan Changyue's figure walking towards them.

The sense of security is instantly filled.

Song Yi raised his right hand and waved towards Yan Changyue. Although there was no verbal communication, his request for help was clearly expressed.

Yan Changyue smiled in his eyes, and spoke as he expected, interrupting Xu Yueran and saying, "I'm sorry, Master Xu, you may have to talk to us for a few more words."

Xu Yueran paused for a moment, turned around and faced Yan Changyue, her tone still calm. When she said "my pleasure", it was as if she had loaded a fixed template and was using a fixed sentence pattern.

Even though he couldn't see the man's expression, Song Yi felt a chill running through his back for a moment, which was equivalent to a human hearing the voice of an AI.

Yan Changyue nodded, looked at Song Yi, and said, "Do you have any other needs that you haven't finished talking about?"

Song Yi received the signal and said, "I hope that many...Xu Yueran's stardust can be resurrected."

This time Yan Changyue did not respond. Instead, she looked at Xu Yueran, signaling her with her eyes to answer. Xu Yueran sighed and no longer paid attention to her words. Instead, she turned sideways and looked at Song Yi, saying very seriously, "Don't think about it. I have given up on it."

Song Yi was stunned, his brain went blank for a few seconds, and he failed to understand the information clearly. At this moment, anger rose quietly. When he realized it, he had already walked towards Xu Yueran, and was about to raise his right hand to prepare to punch - perhaps the only rationality he had at the moment was just reminding him "don't use guns."

But the action could not continue.

Yan Changyue took two steps forward, replacing the previous position of the housekeeper and standing between the two of them. At the same time, Yan Changyue raised her left hand and held his fist. The moment he stopped, she raised her right hand and put her arm around his shoulders. In a gesture that was almost a hug, she gently and firmly pressed him into her arms.

"Okay, okay, don't be afraid, I'm here." Yan Changyue said, her voice falling into his ears, and he felt his tense muscles and the anger that was suspended in mid-air, being wrapped in a mist called "grievance".

He tried to use Yan Changyue's power to force Xu Yueran to surrender, but now it seems that Yan Changyue is unwilling to help him.

But what can he do now?

Song Yi stood there, his body a little stiff, watching Xu Yueran say goodbye and leave gracefully, leaving him with only anger in his heart that he couldn't resolve.

At this time, Yan Changyue loosened her left hand, half-hugging him, and was about to take him away, with a somewhat coercive feeling, like a parent coming to take a disobedient child. She even tilted her head slightly, leaned close to Song Yi's ear, and whispered:

"Listen to me, 'Don't be afraid', you are not dead yet."
