The Reader and Protagonist Definitely Have to be in True Love

Chapter 25 - Author: That is the proper use of Storage Rings

The light elements, summoned by the magic of Xiu, battled with the dense dark and fire elements in the volcano and attached themselves to Xiu's hand. Under the light of the healing magic, Du Ze's chest stopped bleeding, but his face was still very pale. This healing was only a drop in the bucket since the amount of light elements in the reverse side of the continent are too sparse to allow Xiu to use even the most basic healing magic. Xiu couldn't remove his hand from Du Ze's chest for even a moment, else the youth would stop breathing and die.

As time passed, Xiu's face became paler and paler until there was very little difference between his face and Du Ze's. Both of them looked like they were dying. Violet held her peace for a long time but, finally, she could not stay quiet: "It's hopeless ..."

"Shut up!"

Violet opened her mouth but then choose to keep silent. If Alice were on the verge of death, Violet would never give up even if she was wasting her energy.

The demon girl in the blue dress did not have the heart to look at the two of them anymore so she looked up at the purple sky. The two moons continued to climb the heavens slowly. They would not stop for anyone's death. Violet was so sad that she even felt like the moons were glaring down at her

This night is so long.

The wet sound of something being pulled out of a body caught her attention and Violet looked back in astonishment. She saw that the stone fragments in Du Ze's body were pulled out and thrown aside by Xiu. The youth's chest was filled with bloody gashes but at that very moment Violet thought she she saw a miracle.

The handsome young man with blond hair lowered his eyes and his blue eyes reflected the appearance of the black-haired youth whose body was now completely restored. The blonde's lips were curved up in a smile and he seemed to be saying someone's name in a whisper. The next moment, the person holding Du Ze fell to the ground, unconscious.

Du Ze had another dream but this time, amazingly enough, he knew he was dreaming.

Surrounded by darkness, Du Ze looked down at his chest and touched it gingerly. Before he lost consciousness, he had felt a severe pain in that area. Even in this dream he still felt a faint ache.

[...... You ...]

The sudden sound startled Du Ze. It sounded like an old phone call, very intermittent, noisy and disturbing.

[...... How...... Dying ... Where are you ...]

This time Du Ze listened attentively and could just barely understand a few words here and there. Somehow, Du Ze felt that the person who made the sound was listening. When Du Ze opened his mouth to speak, the static noise in the background suddenly vanished and the dark place became silent once more. One sentence could describe this situation properly: Your connection was interrupted.

Then Du Ze woke up.

An orange-red flame was flickering in front of his eyes. Sitting beside a campfire, a figure turned around. It was Violet. Seeing that the dazed Du Ze had woken up, Violet was pleasantly surprised: "Mr Du Ze, you're awake."

Du Ze wanted to get up, but unexpectedly found that he couldn't move because he was being held tightly by someone behind him. He turned his head to look at that person and the first thing he saw was a brilliant golden color. A handsome young blonde lay sleeping behind him, his eyes closed and his long eyelashes casting shadows on his face. Du Ze was silent for a moment, thinking: Don't think that just because you changed your waistcoat that I won't know you - then he meowed - what happened, why did the protagonist suddenly change the channel?
