Chapter 677
Asuna felt like she’s soaking in a hot spring . The warmth seeped into every inch of her being and it felt very relaxing . A sense of safety wrapped her, this is the most pleasant sleep she has had in ages . She even had a dream about the real world where she was living the life she wanted .
The dream came as quickly as it ended . Her sleepiness dissipated and consciousness slowly returned to her . Her eyelids trembled and she slowly opened her eyes .
She saw the familiar scene of dancing snow and cold winds . Further ahead, she can see the deep hole that swallowed up her friends . She stretched her back only to discover that someone already put a coat on her . An arm was also wrapped around her .
Surprised, she turned to look at the person cuddling her and she froze up .Wu Yan who she was giving a lap pillow somehow switched position with her and now she’s the one being looked after . Her head was also resting on his shoulder . They were sharing a coat together in a very close fashion .
She temporarily lost her ability to think and her face started going red as blood rushed to her face . Asuna couldn’t react to this situation . She turned her blushing face towards Wu Yan, the distance between them is less than 5 centimeters . They can even feel each other’s breath at this distance . If anyone stumbled upon them, they would look like two lovers who are about to smooch . The whole place took on a pinkish atmosphere .
Asuna finally regained her senses . Her eyes went out of focus as she panicked . She distanced her face away from Wu Yan almost immediately . Her breathing went out of control as she heaved and panted . Suppressing the weird emotional flux within her, she looked at Wu Yan and she extended an arm to nudge him .
“Hey, wake up…”
With Wu Yan’s superhuman awareness, he would have woken up at the same time Asuna stirred into consciousness . But, Wu Yan slipped up and he indulged in the sweet dream he had . Only when Asuna nudged him did Wu Yan wake up .
“Huh? You surprised me…”
Wu Yan confirmed Asuna’s identity before he lowered his guard once more . He grumbled while yawning .“The sun isn’t out yet, why did you wake up so early?”
For the sloth known as Wu Yan, waking up early is a torture worse than death .
“I don’t want to hear that from you!”
Asuna pursed her lips . She glared at him .
“How long are you going to hold onto me?”
Wu Yan flinched and he released the arm wrapped around Asuna’s . He awkwardly tried to play it cool .
“Hey, I just wanted you to sleep better…”
Asuna narrowed her eyes at him . She continued staring at Wu Yan until he felt like he’s being pushed into a corner . She finally averted her gaze, he was right, it did feel pretty good sleeping while being cuddled by another person .
As if to defy Wu Yan’s prophesy, the sky started brightening up the sun rose . The dazzling ray of light shone upon Wu Yan and Asuna’s face .
The shy source of light hidden behind the other side of the horizon slowly revealed itself to the world . With is advent, the dark clouds took on a golden sheen as the darkness got replaced with a beautiful hue of light .
Warmth permeated the place, the earth regained its vitality and the stagnant air from before started transforming into fresh air .
Asuna and Wu Yan were captivated by this beautiful scenery . Their smiling faces hinted at their current feelings .
“It’s so beautiful…”
Asuna mumbled .
“It’s like I’m still dreaming…”
“Nope, I can assure you this isn’t a dream…”
Wu Yan beamed at her . He cupped a hand of snow from the ground .
“The light is warm, and this cold snow feels just as real, this all is real to me . ”
“Real…”
Asuna grabbed some of the snow on the ground .
“Is there anything real in this world?”
“Yeah…”
Wu Yan turned towards her . He continued with a serious face .
“Even if it feels fake to you, even if your body is only a virtual construct, even if everything is only a realistic simulation, the memories you make from it is real to you . Our meeting in this world, our time together, our experiences with each other, nobody in this world can say it’s fake . ”
“Meeting, time together, and experiences…”
Asuna looked into Wu Yan’s eyes . She asked the question that has been bugging her .
“But it’s only limited to this world, isn’t that so?”
“The world is surprisingly small!”
Wu Yan stood up, he dusted the snow away from his body . He chuckled .
“We already met once in this world, I am sure we can find another reason to meet up in the real world!’
“At least, that’s what I firmly believe in…”
Inside the transcript worlds, he met the significant ladies in his life . Right now, he created the karma to once again meet with them in the real world .
This time, they will stay together forever!
Asuna felt a warm gale streaking past her heart . The drift stayed in her heart for a long while . She fell into a daze and she immediately brightened up with a smile .
Standing up from the ground, Asuna grabbed the coat and she patted the snow off of it .
“Your words are as persuasive as ever…”
“That’s because they are from the heart…”
Wu Yan laughed heartily .
Asuna clenched down on the coat and she looked at the faraway sun .
“Rather than just meeting, hanging out, knowing more, I would like to…”
“What was that?”
Wu Yan turned back with a puzzled look .
“No, it’s nothing…”
Asuna smiled happily without a hint of sadness or bitterness within them .
Roar
A black figure zipped across the sky and it dived into the deep hole .
“That’s!”
Asuna gasped .
“It’s that dragon!”
Asuna turned grim .
“Not good! Lis and Kirito are still stuck in that deep hole!”
A loud roar came from within the deep hole . Soon, the crystal dragon shot up from the hole as it flew into the sky . Two other players hitched a ride on its back…
“No way…”
Asuna pointed at the figures on the crystal dragon’s back .
“Those two couldn’t possibly be Lis and Kirito, right?”
“I see, they are finally out…”
Wu Yan chortled as he already knew about this outcome .
“At least, they didn’t make us wait long…”
The crystal dragon stopped in the air as it threw the two players off its back .
“Lis!”
Asuna cheered as she wanted to catch Lis . Wu Yan hurriedly stopped her .
“Wait, Asuna!”
Asuna couldn’t go any further as Wu Yan had an iron grip on her . The two falling players looked like they are doing organized free-falling in the air . An instant later, the two hugged in midair .
Asuna’s mouth widened as she looked rather surprised by the turn of the event .
“Don’t tell me Lis really…”
“Let them enjoy their time together just a while longer…”
Wu Yan said with a grin on his face .
Asuna rolled her eyes at Wu Yan . She didn’t encroach on the two lovebirds . Looking at her best friend hugging who is hugging Kirito in midair, she revealed a radiant smile .
“Yeah, you go, Lis…”
