Peach-Orange! – Chapter 547 – Returning to the Team

Dongfang Wen’s psychological suggestion proceeded quickly. He started with himself, then Si Chen, followed by the two bodyguards.

This was also an insurance measure to prevent the World Will, while controlling Dongfang Yang, from incidentally “infecting” them as well.

After all, when truly facing such an existence, no one could be sure if problems would arise.

Everything must be done with caution.

After completing all this, Dongfang Wen looked at Si Chen with a smile. “Now, can you tell this old man the specific situation?”

Si Chen nodded. “Don’t worry, Elder. I’ll speak to Dongfang Yang now, and you can observe his reactions from the side while listening.”

Hearing this, Dongfang Yang also opened his eyes, revealing a trace of confusion.

Could it be that they didn’t want to do that to him?

Then why tie him up?

Noticing Dongfang Yang’s bewilderment, Si Chen explained, “Dongfang Yang, you’ll soon understand why I tied you up. In short, you must remember everything I say next.”

Dongfang Yang swallowed.

Si Chen: “What you are about to hear may shatter your worldview. You must hold onto your true self. No matter what inner voices you hear, pay them no mind.

“If you understand and have taken this to heart, nod and blink twice.”

Dongfang Yang, unable to speak, could only nod and blink twice.

Then, Si Chen took a deep breath and said gravely, “Actually… we have all been living in a Truman Show-like world!”

As these words fell, the two bodyguards holding Dongfang Yang shuddered.

Next, Dongfang Yang’s eyes widened, and he began trembling violently, making continuous “mmph” sounds from his mouth.

Did he have something to say?

Did the World Will want to speak through Dongfang Yang’s mouth?

Si Chen first glanced at Dongfang Wen.

The Elder, who was standing ready, shook his head. “Based on feeling, young Dongfang isn’t controlled yet.”

No.

Then this reaction is…

Could it be that Dongfang Yang sensed something!

Si Chen immediately ripped the cloth gagging Dongfang Yang away.

The latter immediately gasped for breath. “Si… Si Chen, you… you…”

Si Chen pressed down on Dongfang Yang’s shoulders. “Don’t rush, speak slowly.”

Dongfang Yang: “Your rope… your rope is hurting my stomach. Right now… I need to take a huge dump.”

Si Chen: “?”

He bent his head and asked, “You had no reaction to what I just said?”

Dongfang Yang blinked. “Um… a little, I guess. Who is Truman?”

“…”

Kid, you are invincible.

Si Chen felt that perhaps he didn’t need to be so vigilant.

He decided to speak directly. “What I mean is, the world we live in was actually created by some existence. Our future outcomes are all predetermined. And whenever that existence wishes, it can easily control us, including you right now.

“Not only that…”

Si Chen began explaining verbally, clearly outlining the current predicament and the fact that Dongfang Yang could be controlled by the World Will.

As a protagonist with 95% weight, how could he not attract the World Will’s attention?

After a moment of dazed confusion, Dongfang Yang seemed to have a sudden realization, paused, and then asked, “And then?”

“What do you mean ‘and then’?” Si Chen had already said everything he could. Dongfang Wen beside him looked even more astonished.

But you, Dongfang Yang, after hearing the truth about this world, your reaction is just these three words?

Could the World Will have broken your brain?

Si Chen looked at Dongfang Wen, signaling with his eyes.

The Elder said slowly, “For just a moment, really just a moment, young Dongfang’s eyes changed. When he looked at me, it seemed like… he found me despicable and disgusting, and then it suddenly returned to normal.”

Si Chen looked back at Dongfang Yang. “Then Dongfang Yang, what did you feel just now?”

“Hmm…” Dongfang Yang recalled, “My brain seemed to blank out for a split second? Felt like someone told me to hand over my body, and then I could sleep an unparalleled good sleep.

“But I’m not tired, why sleep? Thought it was strange, and then that was it.”

However, Dongfang Yang still frowned slightly, not completely expressionless. “But I am quite curious, Si Chen, are you and the Elder tricking me? Is the world we live in now really controlled like that?”

Dongfang Yang: “Wouldn’t that mean…”

Si Chen pressed, “Mean what?”

“This young master is the male lead, and Chi Xiaocheng is the female lead, wouldn’t that mean…”

Before he finished, Si Chen couldn’t help but slap Dongfang Yang on the head.

“Ouch, what are you doing!” Dongfang Yang looked at Si Chen displeased.

Si Chen responded flatly, “Can you be serious? The current situation is very serious!”

He still needed to confirm whether the other was controlled by the World Will.

Dongfang Yang said helplessly, “I am being serious. I understand what you mean. So what if the world we live in is fake? So what if our lives are predetermined? What difference does knowing this make to me?”

He raised his head proudly, like a sun uncontrollable by anyone. “I, Dongfang Yang, act openly and aboveboard. Of course, I will forge my own future. Someone wants to predetermine me? Does that World Will even qualify?”

Just then, Si Chen’s phone rang.

After answering, Chi Xiaocheng’s extremely shocked voice came through. “Si Chen, what did you do? How did Dongfang Yang’s weight suddenly drop from 95% to 0%!”

Although not on speaker, the clearly thunderous voice was still heard by the Dongfang grandfather and grandson.

The two looked at each other, not quite understanding what this so-called weight meant.

But after hearing it, Si Chen looked at his good brother beside him in utter shock.

It really dropped…

Just like that?

Dongfang Yang, with just a single thought, not only accepted this matter but also seemed to have an epiphany, dropping from a high 95% to 0%!

He didn’t even ruin his character setting!

A sense of unreality washed over Si Chen. He thought of all the hardships he went through to reduce his own weight, even ruining his reputation, becoming the ‘glorious male classmate.’

In contrast, Dongfang Yang…

“I am who I am. What’s the problem?”

Si Chen’s mouth twitched. “No, nothing.”

He suddenly understood why Dongfang Yang so easily broke free from the World Will’s control.

It would be more accurate to say the World Will simply couldn’t control Dongfang Yang.

Purity to the extreme is impervious.

Although the process was a bit unconventional.

But…

Without a doubt, this was a good thing.

Si Chen personally untied Dongfang Yang, patting his shoulder approvingly. “Brother, now I can truly tell you, congratulations on your rebirth.”
