The Crazed Little Darling: Pampered by the Possesive Commander!-Chapter 360: Out of Millions of Parallel Worlds, Only I Love You
The universe is vast, so vast that humans have only explored one ten-thousandth of it.
The hypothesis about parallel worlds was proposed by humans thousands of years ago.
But even to this day, thousands of years later, it remains unproven.
However, tonight, in this absurd dream, Lu Shinian feels as though he has glimpsed the existence of parallel spaces.
This dream is very long, so long that Lu Shinian believes it has no end.
He’s experienced the many facets of his past life, starting from possessing Su Ruan, then watching her escape, only to capture her again step by step.
Over and over, as if untiring, that uncontrollable impulse and possessiveness even frighten himself.
He glimpses the fear and resentment in Su Ruan’s eyes, and also sees the obsession and madness in his own.
He watches himself take the crystal core from Su Ruan’s heart, merging his spiritual power with that core.
Until the very last moment, he detonates the crystal core, destroying the whole world.
Madness, yet also destiny.
Lu Shinian originally thought that after this dream, he would wake up.
But in fact, after a long darkness, the scene transitions.
This time, it’s the unfamiliar yet familiar Federation.
He becomes a Federation Commander, yet Su Ruan is not by his side.
He follows his dream self through life, with Su Ruan never appearing by his side.
Until dream self reaches the end of life alone, Su Ruan still does not appear.
Then, it’s darkness again.
It’s unclear how much time passes, but there’s a brand new scene.
This time in Federation University, his dream self meets Su Ruan.
He’s the senior, and Su Ruan is his direct junior.
They fight side by side, becoming the renowned War God Twins of the Federation over long years.
They are respected and affectionate senior and junior, fellow warriors who trust each other with their backs, and exceptionally close partners, but notably, not lovers.
Until they die in battle, the love perhaps hidden in their hearts remains unspoken.
After another period of darkness, the scene transitions once more.
This time, he’s the Crown Prince of the Federation, lofty and unfeeling.
He follows his dream self through life, inheriting the throne after the death of Your Majesty, becoming a dictatorial ruler.
He governs the Federation methodically, with hardly anyone daring to defy him.
Yet until his old age and death, he never marries, with not a woman by his side.
Nor does he see Su Ruan.
Until the day dream self dies of old age, he hears a broadcast saying that Professor Su Ruan has made a breakthrough in certain genetic defects, further solving the Ancestral Stage issue.
That single sentence merely enters his ear, and then his dream self dies.
Another lengthy darkness.
The scenes keep transitioning.
More and more scenes flood into Lu Shinian’s mind.
They seem to really be happening, as if occurring in some parallel universe.
Every different choice could possibly create a parallel world.
Just as if Su Ruan hadn’t chosen to go to Muhe Star, she would have died on Tianhe Star, and throughout his life as a Commander, Lu Shinian would have never met her.
Or if the Shen Family parents had "taken Su Ruan back" and treated her well back then, she would have become a junior by several grades and later grown to be twins fighting alongside him.
Or perhaps if he accepted the fact that his father didn’t love his mother, forgave his father, acknowledged his ancestry, and became the lofty Crown Prince, his life’s trajectory would have been along the "Your Majesty" path.
Their last intersection would have stayed at that broadcast after the sunset.
Countless choices, countless parallel worlds, he and she, either never meeting and dying lonely, or meeting but not falling in love, or having intersected yet never knowing.
Those parallel worlds unknown to them all have their lives.
Yet Lu Shinian cannot imagine how to face this monotonous world, without having met or loved her.
The scenes have transitioned countless times, the darkness enveloping countless times.
It’s unknown how much time has passed.
Lu Shinian feels his body slowly sinking, his self-awareness seems to be returning to his body.
He tentatively moves his fingers.
The sense of belonging to his body returns to his consciousness.
Lu Shinian slowly opens his eyes and glances outside.
The moonlight has faded a lot.
The Su Ruan in his arms is still sound asleep.
He checks the time; it has only been three hours, yet he feels it has been so long since he saw his beloved Ruan Ruan.
Indeed, his beloved Ruan Ruan.
Not the Su Ruan he never met in the dream, nor the one who fought alongside him on the battlefield, nor the Federation-revered professor who solved the Ancestral Stage.
The person in his arms is just the not-so-perfect Ruan Ruan who gets angry, throws tantrums, feels wronged yet is unbreakably strong, soft-hearted but not to be trifled with, occasionally evasive and willful.
The Ruan Ruan he loves.
He’s dreamed of thousands of parallel worlds, but only in this universe, he and she love each other.
She is even pregnant with his child, a testament to their love, proof of their journey through the first half of life.
Lu Shinian gently holds the deeply sleeping Su Ruan in his arms, feeling utterly soft-hearted.
"Ruan Ruan."
He whispers silently.
"Mine."
She’s his Ruan Ruan, the one whose love is deeply recognized by his heart.
Gently planting a kiss, he offers all his vulnerability and tenderness to her.
The night grows deeper, the artificial moon gradually disappears.
Luoxia Star returns to darkness.
But to Lu Shinian, with Su Ruan’s presence, there is no longer any darkness.
————
Time flashes forward another two months.
Su Ruan is almost six months pregnant, and though the Star Gate is still unfound, with Lu Shinian’s help, Luoxia Star has opened trade routes with other planets over these two months.
The overall security environment has improved significantly; at least now you can see people shopping outside around seven in the evening.
As Su Ruan’s pregnancy becomes more apparent, she goes out less frequently.
Yet despite this, news of her pregnancy spreads inexplicably.
From who knows where, the news has traveled, and many on Luoxia Star know she’s pregnant, spreading at a speed beyond her imagination, quickly reaching Wanling Star.
Wanling Star, the place where it’s supposed to see its first pregnant woman, is now facing residents’ skepticism.
Why has it been so long, and Su Ruan still refuses to appear, not even in a single photo?
Moreover, Zero from Zero Star has been staying at the Star Lord Manor for nearly two months, yet still hasn’t seen Su Ruan, what’s the reason behind this?
At this moment, Lu Zhiya, the Star Lord, faces unprecedented doubt.
