Chu Tian's hands moved upwards, encircling Nie Yun's waist.
The latter let out a soft, delicate hum.
*Whoosh...*
At that very moment, a white light shot out from the center of Chu Tian's brow.
It pierced directly into Nie Yun's forehead and emerged from the back of her skull.
"You..."
Nie Yun stiffened, her eyes filled with disbelief.
The next instant, Chu Tian's embraced form instantly dissolved into a mist of white, vanishing without a trace.
Chu Tian's lips curled.
"Why would it be her... Sigh..."
He shook his head and let out a scoff.
Following that, a bizarre scene unfolded.
The surrounding environment began to distort.
The scene shifted once more.
He was surrounded by a steel forest, with towering skyscrapers.
Pedestrians thronged the streets, while the booming sounds of supermarket speakers filled the air.
Chu Tian realized he was standing on a street in Shengjing City.
Moreover, the surrounding buildings were incredibly familiar.
He turned a full circle, confirmed his direction, and found himself right below his rented apartment in Shengjing City.
Familiar streets, familiar shops, familiar passersby, familiar scents...
His gaze locked onto the entrance of a building.
A familiar figure, rushing out in a flustered manner.
"Tian Ge? Why are you here, I finally found you..."
The figure simultaneously spotted Chu Tian standing at the entrance.
Chu Tian remained silent, looking at the person before him.
It was his good brother... Zhao Lei.
"Tian Ge?"
Seeing Chu Tian's silence, Zhao Lei called out again.
"Hmm...? Why are you here?" Chu Tian asked.
"I was looking for you. Huh... your leg? Did you get a prosthetic?" Zhao Lei asked, astonished as if he had suddenly noticed something different about Chu Tian.
Chu Tian blinked and looked down at his legs.
From below his knees, the exposed parts were indeed prosthetics.
At the same time, he could no longer feel anything below his knees.
*Brummm... screech...*
Suddenly, a roaring sound and the screech of brakes echoed behind him.
"Stop dawdling, get in the car!"
Chu Tian turned his head. Parked by the roadside behind him was his Paramount Raider.
The car window rolled down, and Jing Kaiyu shouted anxiously.
Zhao Lei hurried over, opened the car door, and then yelled back at Chu Tian, "Tian Ge... hurry and get in!"
Even as the car door opened, Chu Tian saw familiar faces one by one.
Gao Kai, Lin Chi, Lin Ran, Lin Yu, Ma Deju, Ma Ruolin, Song Zijin, Qi Shushu, Qin Yao, Zhang Chengcheng...
Almost everyone he knew on Blue Star was squeezed inside the Paramount Raider.
If the car wasn't large enough, it probably wouldn't have fit them all.
The people in the car, seeing Chu Tian standing still,
Zhao Lei ran over again, pulled Chu Tian, and dragged him into the car.
"Where are we going?" Chu Tian asked after getting into the car.
Looking at these faces, whom he hadn't seen in years, he truly missed them.
As he spoke, the expressions of those in the car varied as they looked at him.
It was Zhao Lei who finally answered, "Luoluo is getting married, we're going to crash the wedding!"
As he said this, Chu Tian's head buzzed, "What? Luoluo is getting married?"
In an instant, everyone looked at Chu Tian as if he were an idiot.
After a while,
"Chu Tian Gege... you haven't lost your memory, have you?"
Qin Yao leaned towards Chu Tian, bending down and scrutinizing him.
Not long after, Jing Kaiyu slammed on the brakes, stopping in front of Shengjing's only six-star hotel.
A group of people scrambled out of the car.
Chu Tian was ushered into the elevator, which ascended directly to the eighty-eighth floor.
As the elevator doors opened, countless flowers were arranged on both sides, and colorful balloons adorned the walls.
The boisterous sound of music filled the air.
Chu Tian was pushed out of the elevator and, as he rounded a corner,
He heard the announcer's voice: "Miss Luo Yiyi, the bride, do you take him to be your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death do you part?"
"I do..."
"I object!"
Chu Tian stood at the entrance, gazing at the person he'd longed for day and night on the stage.
When the announcer asked the question, her face was filled with a happy smile, and she answered without hesitation.
However, before she could finish, Chu Tian interrupted her directly.
"Uh... who is this gentleman...?" the announcer asked awkwardly.
At the same time, Luoluo looked up at Chu Tian.
The moment she saw Chu Tian, her face, radiating happiness, contorted into an expression of disgust and revulsion.
Seeing this, Chu Tian's heart ached as if pierced by thousands of needles.
Chu Tian suppressed the pain in his heart and turned his gaze to the man standing beside Luoluo.
His heart ached even more, transforming into rage.
"Huang Xueyi..."
Damn it... this damned illusion is challenging my bottom line.
It's showing me everything I least want to see.
"Hahaha..." Suddenly, the crowd behind Chu Tian burst into laughter.
"Come, come, you all lost, I told you! When he saw this, he'd be furious, but he's a coward, wouldn't dare to act!"
The voice speaking was Gao Kai's.
The elder brother who had always looked after him.
"Come, come, give me the money, give me the money..." Gao Kai continued to laugh recklessly, reaching out to people around him for money.
Chu Tian turned and looked at them.
Zhao Lei stepped forward, pushing Chu Tian. "What are you worried about? Did you really think we picked you up to crash the wedding?
We just came to watch the excitement... Hahaha...
Oh, and you're looking at us like this? You don't really think we consider you a brother, do you?"
Zhao Lei taunted Chu Tian without restraint.
At this moment, Chu Tian calmed down.
The disgust and betrayal of his beloved, the fake affection of his brothers, his enemy favored by his beloved.
This illusion is truly despicable. If I find out who is controlling this illusion.
Hmph... I will surely tear you to shreds.
However, Chu Tian didn't know that what appeared in the illusion was precisely the situation he feared the most, and therefore it was presented.
It all stemmed from... the depths of his heart, something he himself hadn't even realized.
"Hoo..."
Chu Tian exhaled, scanning the room. Everyone in the room was laughing at him.
He flicked his finger, and a surge of qi shot out.
*Chih...*
"Ah... murder!"
The entire hall immediately descended into chaos, and everyone rushed towards the exit.
Huang Xueyi, standing on the stage, looking down at Chu Tian with an arrogant expression, a blush bloomed on his brow.
With a look of disbelieving defiance, he toppled to the ground.
"You little beast, seeking death!" a gruff, ancient roar came. Luo Lingfeng, like an eagle spreading its wings, lunged past the crowd and punched towards Chu Tian.
