Chapter 7: Dragon Son, is me
The woman in white was about to leave, but after hearing Guo Xiang's cry, she suddenly stopped in her tracks, slowly turned around and asked faintly: "Who are you?"
The voice was slightly cold, without any ripples.
Upon seeing this, Tang Xiao Sheng finally reacted a bit, could it be that the white-clothed woman in front of him was actually Little Dragon Maiden? Had she also crossed over?
She just jumped from the seventh floor and was unscathed, obviously not an ordinary person.
"Eldest Sister Long, I am Xiang Er." Guo Xiang seemed to have confirmed that the woman in white was indeed Little Dragon Maiden, and she propped herself up with her small hands, standing up from the grass.
"Xiang Er?" The woman in white clothes hesitated slightly, walked slowly over, and stopped in front of Guo Xiang. Her thin eyebrows moved slightly, "Are you really Xiang Er?"
Guo Xiang nodded lightly, her head bobbing up and down like a chick pecking at grain, as she exclaimed excitedly: "Long Jie, it really is you!"
The woman in white seemed also quite surprised, and asked: "Xiang'er, I didn't expect to run into you here. By the way, have you seen your older brother?"
Guo Xiang giggled and pulled Tang Xiaosheng forward with her small hand, solemnly introducing him: "Long Jie, this is Big Brother."
The little dragon girl (the woman in white) listened, her beautiful eyes flashed, and her attention immediately shifted to Tang Xiaosheng, staring at him intently. Her gaze was full of expectation, yet still icy cold.
Being stared at by her, Tang Xiaosheng's heart suddenly became excited and fearful. The excitement was because he had actually met the legendary Little Dragon Girl, and the fear was because he was a fake Yang Guo.
"What should I do now?"
Tang Xiaosheng was secretly pondering with a nervous heart. His current identity is Yang Guo, so he should treat Little Dragon Girl in the way Yang Guo would. But how would Yang Guo react if he encountered Little Dragon Girl in such a situation?
Is it bursting into laughter or crying with joy?
Should he walk forward and gently hold the slender jade hand of Little Dragon Girl, telling her about his longing; or should he directly embrace Little Dragon Girl in his arms, giving her the warmest chest?
The scene in front of him was a bit complicated, with time, space and characters all different from usual. Tang Xiaosheng had many years of filming experience, but for a moment, he didn't know what to say or do either.
At this moment, suddenly and without warning, Little Dragon Girl's body flashed once, her right palm lifted, and she slapped forward, striking Tang Xiaosheng's chest with a slap.
It happened suddenly, and Tang Xiaosheng didn't even have time to react.
With a loud cry, he was slapped flying out seven or eight meters away, drawing a long arc in the air before heavily falling to the ground, landing on his back with all fours in the air, and waves of severe pain instantly attacked from his buttocks.
"Big Brother!"
Guo Xiang saw the situation and immediately ran over to Tang Xiao Sheng, helped him up, then turned around and asked Xiaolongnv, "Sister Long, why did you hit big brother?"
"He's not even a martial artist." Little Dragon Girl said in an icy tone, "He doesn't have the slightest bit of internal energy, nor does he know any martial arts. How could he be a martial artist?"
"Dragon sister, you've misunderstood. Big brother has only just crossed over for three days and many memories have not been restored yet, so naturally he won't know martial arts."
Xiao Long Nu's delicate eyebrows arched: "Three days? He has only been here for three days?"
"Yes, I arrived here three days ago." Tang Xiao Sheng slowly stood up, he was now almost certain that the white-clothed woman in front of him was indeed Little Dragon Girl. He spoke to her in Yang Guo's tone, "Long'er, I really don't know any martial arts now, and many things I also can't remember. If you don't recognize me, I won't blame you. But no matter what, you will always be my Long'er."
When he finished the last sentence, Tang Xiaosheng also felt a bit corny. However, now is the crucial moment, without some sentimental sweet words, it's probably hard to move Little Dragon Girl.
Little Dragon Girl listened to this and seemed to realize something, stepping forward calmly: "I didn't intentionally want to hurt you, I just wanted to confirm whether or not you are Overlord."
"Dragon sister, he really is big brother."
Seeing Guo Xiang's certainty, Little Dragon Maiden hesitated for a moment, seemingly wavering. She walked slowly towards Tang Xiaosheng, gazed at him for a while, and softly asked: "Tang Xiaosheng, is it really you?"
Tang Xiao Sheng suppressed his emotions, just like he did when filming, and quickly got into character. He looked at Little Dragon Maiden with deep affection in his eyes, then, with great courage, he took the initiative to gently hold her slightly cold slender hand, and said emotionally: "Long Er, it's me."
The two of them gazed at each other in silence, carefully distinguishing the unfamiliar faces, as if time had frozen in this moment.
It's a bit of a pity that the little dragon girl wore a white veil, so Tang Xiaosheng couldn't see her face clearly. Nevertheless, through the thin veil, the outline of her facial features could be vaguely made out, and she was absolutely a stunning beauty who could bring ruin to a country and its people.
A moment later.
"Dragon boy, how did you end up here?" Tang Xiaosheng broke the silence first.
Xiao Long Nu sank into thought and slowly said: "It's a long story." Then she recalled her experience of crossing over to this place.
One year ago, Little Dragon Maiden suddenly crossed over from her original time and space to here, and possessed the body of a woman named Long Xiaoxue in Jinghua City.
After possession, the memories of Little Dragon Girl and Long Xiaoxue merged together, causing confusion in her thinking, and many things could not be remembered. Until four months ago, her consciousness slowly became clear, and some of her memories were restored.
After recovering her memory, Little Dragon Girl began to ask around about Yang Guo's news, wanting to know if Yang Guo had also crossed over. Unfortunately, she gained nothing.
Later, she watched the TV series "The Legend of the Condor Hero" starring Huang Xiaoming and found that Huang Xiaoming had a few similarities with Yang Guo. She suspected that Huang Xiaoming might have been possessed by Yang Guo's soul and began to look for him.
Today, Little Dragon Girl learned from TV news that Huang Xiaoming was injured while filming and was admitted to Jishuitan Hospital. She then rushed to the hospital overnight, sneaking into the outpatient building and secretly observing Huang Xiaoming.
After a thorough investigation, she discovered that Huang Xiaoming did not know any martial arts and seemed to already have a girlfriend, so she confirmed that he was not possessed by Yang Guo's soul. Just as she left the outpatient building and was about to leave the hospital, she happened to meet Tang Xiaosheng and Guo Xiang under the outpatient building.
The experiences of Little Dragon Girl and Guo Xiang complement each other, as after crossing over, both suffer from temporary amnesia due to the fusion of two memories. This way, Tang Xiao Sheng feels more at ease, as he can continue pretending to be Yang Guo by using his amnesia as an excuse.
After chatting with Little Dragon Girl for so long, she still hasn't taken the initiative to remove her veil, and Tang Xiaosheng can't help but feel a little nervous. It seems that Little Dragon Girl doesn't quite trust him yet.
Tang Xiaosheng sank down, gazing at her with deep emotions and said: "Long'er, I want to see what you look like now."
Xiao Long Nu didn't say a word, slightly lowering her head, seemingly hesitant.
She didn't speak when she saw him, Tang Xiaosheng's heart became even more uneasy, and he asked again: "Long'er, what's wrong?"
Xiao Long Nu's delicate eyebrows fluttered slightly, a hint of worry flashing across her forehead. After a moment, she spoke softly: "Guo Jing, my appearance has changed from before, I don't know how to face you."
Tang Xiaosheng suddenly realized, it turned out that she was worried about this matter, so she comforted: "Long'er, you and I are both soul wearers, our appearances have already changed, we both need time to re-adapt to each other. But no matter what shape you take, you will always be my Long'er."
As he said this, he grasped the slightly cold jade hand of Little Dragon Maiden even tighter.
Xiao Long Nu was silent for a moment, then said in a low voice: "Brother, I have something to tell you."
"Uh-huh, you said."
Xiao Long Nu slowly said, "I always thought that when I saw you again, my emotions would be out of control. But just now, being with you, I found myself very calm and didn't have any feelings towards you, even feeling a bit strange. Until now, I still don't know whether or not to believe that you are really Guo Er."
Tang Xiaosheng was slightly stunned, the woman's intuition was indeed accurate, and Little Dragon Girl did have some suspicions about his identity. If his true identity were to be discovered by Little Dragon Girl, the consequences would be unpredictable.
"How can I make Little Dragon Maiden believe that I am Yang Guo?"
Tang Xiaosheng was thinking to himself, his eyes rolled around, and suddenly he had a bad idea.
------------------------
P.S: In the book review section, a friend mentioned that Tang Xiaosheng's addiction to instant noodles is an unrealistic setting.
It's unlikely to get addicted to instant noodles, so why did Tang Xiaosheng get hooked? This is an important foreshadowing and clue in the book, with a plot behind it. As for what the plot is, I won't reveal it here, otherwise there would be no need to write it. In short, Tang Xiaosheng likes to eat instant noodles, which is not an illogical setting, but an important clue, with a reason and origin. What we see now is just the phenomenon, and the inner truth and logic will slowly emerge as the plot unfolds.
Additionally, I would like to extend my gratitude to the book friend who raised this question: 鐵檤娦. If everyone has any opinions or ideas about this book, you are more than welcome to leave a message in the review section, praise and criticism are both acceptable, speak freely.
