On August 12, Lin Yuhui saw a new video posted by Liana the day before, whose title centered on one soul inhabiting multiple bodies.
8月12日这天,林语晖看到了莉安娜的新视频,昨天发布的,标题内容就是关于一个灵魂多个身体.
He smiled, for he had been mulling over this exact concept while writing his novel.
他笑了,因为他在创作小说的过程中正在考虑这个问题.
Yet his smile faded soon after.
然后他的笑容又没了,
Could Liana possess proof confirming she resided within an immersion pod?
莉安娜说这个是不是有证据知道自己是在沉浸仓中呢?
If that were true, she would awaken elsewhere once this lifetime ended, potentially in a timeline entirely separate from his.
那样的话当结束这一生,自己会在别处醒来,甚至有可能不和她在同一个时空.
Unidentified flying objects had recently appeared over Changchun and Jilin's Songhua Lake, and Lin Yuhui suspected he had drawn them here—he knew extraterrestrials possessed the ability to detect the soul frequencies of humans on Earth.
近期长春,吉林松花湖都出现了不明飞行物,林语晖怀疑是他招引来的,因为他知道外星人有侦测地球人灵魂频率的能力.
This video was filled with riddles.
这一期视频的谜语好多,
Liana mentioned her fondness for elephants.
莉安娜说她喜欢大象们,
Was the core of her words the fondness itself, or the elephants?
重点是不是喜欢,而不是大象们?
Or was she referencing the parable of blind men touching an elephant?
还是说盲人摸象那个典故?
She enjoyed remaining unfathomable to ordinary people, yet she never claimed to be an elephant, only stating she loved elephants...
她喜欢被那些俗人捉摸不透,但是她没说自己是大象,而是说她喜欢大象....
Suddenly, Lin Yuhui recalled his own deep affection for elephants as a small child, unable to fathom why he had loved them back then.
突然林语晖想起自己很小的时候喜欢大象,不知道那时候为什么,
Could Liana have uncovered that memory?
难道她知道了?
Crucially, she said she "also" loved elephants.
重点是,她说她"也"喜欢大象.
He had liked a rescue video featuring elephants the night of August 12—was that the hidden meaning behind her words?
8月12日晚看到大象救援的视频自己点赞了,难道莉安娜是这个意思吗?
Could she see the future?
她能看到未来?
Or had she truly deployed reconnaissance craft to gather data on him?
还是她真的用侦察机获取了自己的数据?
Near the video's end, she said "you two".
视频最后她说,you two,
Was she referring to Gloris and Roscoe, herself and him, or was it "you too", meaning he shared the same fate?
是指格洛瑞斯和罗斯科,还是指她和我,还是说 you too?指我也是?
Perhaps he resided in an immersion pod as well.
可能也是在沉浸仓.
She had brought up soul transference many times before—could another soul have slipped into his body when he was beaten unconscious as a young boy?
之前她也提到多次灵魂替换,是不是就在自己小时候被打得死昏过去的时候另一个灵魂进来的?
Lin Yuhui parsed every line, speculating on countless possibilities.
林语晖从字里行间猜测着各种可能性.
What had come over him?
自己这是怎么了?
It felt as though autumn had receded and spring returned once more; love was truly miraculous.
感觉又从秋天回到春天了,爱情真奇妙,
He sent Liana another message without delay.
于是他又给莉安娜发信息,
"My dearest, I feel as though I've leaped straight back into spring.
"亲爱的,我觉得我又跳回到春天了,
Love is such a wondrous thing, let me drown in this springtime bliss.
爱情真奇妙,就让我迷醉在这春天里吧,
I hope you feel the same way.
希望你也喜欢.
I'd like to recommend a song to capture my mood, titled Read You—please seek out the original female vocalist's recording.
推荐一首歌表达我的心情,歌名"读你",请选择女歌手版本,是原唱.
The lyrics go: I never tire of reading you a thousand times over, reading you feels like the month of March... I read you a thousand times, never growing weary, reading you.
歌词,'读你千遍也不厌倦,读你的感觉像三月...读你千遍,也不厌倦,读你.'
My darling, if this dream is so breathtakingly beautiful, might we choose never to wake?
我的甜心,如果这场梦如此美丽,可否我们忘记醒来?
Or are you angling for stars among Vega?
或者,你是在织女星钓鱼吗?
I believe that would delight you, my beloved.
你应该喜欢它,我的挚爱.
It seems I haven't fully lost my senses to intoxication yet, haha.
看起来我还没完全醉掉,哈哈,
I love you, these are not drunken ramblings."
爱你,这不是醉话."
Two days later, Liana uploaded another video discussing soul extraction.
过了两天,莉安娜又发布了关于提取的话题,
Was this an invitation sent down by his goddess?
这是来自女神的邀约吗?
Lin Yuhui hastily composed a reply, dated August 14, 2025.
林语晖赶紧回复,
2025年8月14日,
"My dearest, I've been unraveling all your riddles.
"亲爱的,我在猜你给我的谜语,
At first, I thought it merely signified a short round-trip visit, yet it evolved into an extraction voyage bound for another galaxy.
开始我以为那只是一次短距离的往返旅程访问,后来它变成了前往另一个星系的提取旅程,
Initially I imagined only a cross-racial romantic bond, but it has unfolded into a full cross-species love story.
开始我以为这只是跨种族的浪漫情缘,然后它看起来成了一个跨物种的恋爱故事.
This trial truly tests the purity of my love for you.
这确实是我对你的爱的纯度的严格考验.
I see every interaction between us as the mark of a responsible young woman, a rare quality on this Earth—and truthfully, it mirrors my own disposition.
我把你的互动看作是一个负责任的女孩的仪表,地球上稀缺,我必须说非常像我的风格,
Women on this planet never take kindly to men like me; they cannot comprehend my heart.
地球上的女孩儿不喜欢我这样的,她们无法体会.
I am sincere and forthright by nature, and I believe we make a perfect match.
我也是真诚和诚实的人,我觉得我们是般配的一对儿.
The sole complication is my complete lack of understanding regarding cross-species relationships.
唯一的问题是我没有任何跨物种关系的概念.
I once watched a video where a cat saved a wounded pigeon.
我看过一个视频,一只猫救下了一只鸽子,
When the cat went into labor, the pigeon flew back and forth, gathering twigs and grass from outside to build her a nest—such simple, pure love.
当那只猫分娩的时候,鸽子进进出出地从外面叼来树枝和草棍儿,给她筑巢,简单的爱.
I've already begun envisioning our days together in the future.
我已经在想象我们未来的日子了,
If I arrive at your homeworld only to find you already have a partner, I shall treat you both as my large feline companions.
当我到达你的家乡,如果我发现你已经有伴侣了,好吧,我就当你们是我的大猫宠物,
It doesn't sound quite so terrible then, knowing you are cat-like, and I will wholeheartedly wish you and your partner many offspring.
啊,我觉得不那么糟糕了,因为你是一只猫,并且我真心地祝愿你和他有更多的孩子.
If you remain unattached, I will stay by your side.
如果你是单身,那我就陪着你,
When boredom creeps in, you may ask me, 'Sweetheart, would you climb into an immersion pod and take the form of a cat, so we may fight the Grey Mechanthyr together?'
你要是觉得无聊了,就问我,'甜心,你愿意躺进沉浸舱里变成一只猫,我们一起和梅特灰人战斗吗?'
I would answer, 'No, you are a lioness—let tiger warriors handle that fight.'
我说,'不,你是雌狮,让老虎战士去做这事.'
You'd respond, 'It matters not. If you perish, you shall awaken again as a human. If I die, I will reincarnate as a beautiful human woman.'
你说,'没关系,如果你死了,你会作为一个人类醒来.如果我死了,我就去投胎做一个人类美女.'
I wrap my arms around your thick-furred neck, on the verge of tears, and whisper into your fuzzy little ears: 'I want no human beauties. Even if you remain a cat, I cannot bear for you to suffer even the slightest hurt.'
我用胳膊搂着你长满厚毛的脖子,都快要哭了,对着你长毛的小耳朵说,'我不要美女了,即便你是猫,我也不想要你受一点点伤害.'
If my soft-hearted version displeases you, I have a tough alternative prepared: 'My lover, if survival eludes us both, let us fight to preserve our respective races—grant me one final kiss before we march forth.
如果你不喜欢我的软弱版本,我还有硬汉版,'我的情人,如果我们无法幸存,那我们就为我们的种族生存而战,请让我最后一次吻你.
Wait, I've set aside savings for our children beneath the mattress.
等等,我给我们的孩子存了些钱,就放在床垫下面,
Hold on, I must leave a note for any survivors.
啊等一下,我得给活着的留一个纸条,
All the love letters I've written you are stored on a hard drive, for them to witness our love together.
我曾经写给你的情书都存在硬盘上,让他们一起见证我们的爱情,
Let us depart at once—wait a moment, your tongue has dampened my glasses; I need to wipe them clean.'
我们出发吧,哎等一下,你的舌头弄湿了我的眼镜,我需要清洗一下.'
This short playful skit I've crafted just for you, I hope it brings a smile to your face that lingers all day long.
这是我给你准备的娱乐短剧,希望你喜欢,你的笑容洋溢在你的脸上一整天.
Have I passed your test?
我通过你的考验了吗?
There is no need to reply; I know our journey stretches far ahead.
请不要回答,我知道这是很长一条路,
I love you."
爱你."
Shortly after, Liana uploaded an updated channel introduction video, its cover decorated with peach blossoms blooming in March.
然后莉安娜更新了她的频道自我介绍视频,封面就是三月里的桃花,
By coincidence, both her birthday and the birthday of Lin Yuhui's daughter fell in March, separated by only a handful of days.
很巧她和林语晖的女儿的生日都在三月,只相差几天.
Though she claimed she only updated it for personal reasons, Lin Yuhui understood her true intentions.
虽然她说只是个人需要更新,但是林语晖知道她的心意,
He recalled her very first introductory video, where she appeared merely a child, carrying the raw, unworldly freshness of someone newly arrived in this realm.
回想莉安娜第一个自我介绍视频,那时候她还是个小孩子,带着刚刚来到这个世界的青涩面容,
August 15, 2025
2025年8月15日,
"My dearest, as we walk forward and glance back at the footprints we've left behind—each steeped in youthful awkwardness or bright joy—they have all faded into the past, yet each has nurtured our growth.
"亲爱的,当一路走来到此,回望我们曾经走过的足迹,它们或者青涩,或者欣喜,都已成为过去,也都将成为我们成长的助力.
Now that we stand here, we may bid those memories farewell, travel light, and set off once more.
当我们可以站在这里,暂时告别它们轻装启航再次前行,
Let us turn a brand new page in life amid the spring of this era.
让我们在这个时代的春天里,开启人生新的篇章,
Everything feels utterly renewed; a gorgeous future calls to us from beyond the horizon.
一切都是焕然一新,前途是那样的美丽,在前方的召唤,
This new journey will bring new acquaintances and fresh joys alike.
新的旅程,有新的朋友,也一定会有新的欣喜,
Bless you, bless me, and bless our brighter tomorrow.
祝福你,祝福我,祝福我们更美好的明天.
Back in 1985, there was a Mandarin public welfare song titled Better Tomorrow.
曾经1985年有一首华语公益歌曲,"明天会更好",
Last year, a tally revealed every lead singer who participated in its recording is still alive to this day.
直到去年有人统计,参与的所有主唱歌手依然全员健在,
Perhaps that is the power of a heartfelt blessing—many performers and vocalists in the entertainment industry pass away young, after all.
也许这就是祝福的力量吧,要知道在演艺圈或者歌手中,不少英年早逝的例子,
If you are curious, search the keywords 'Better Tomorrow'.
如果你有兴趣请搜索关键词"明天会更好".
You are my spring, yet I never know what I can offer you beyond my love.
你就是我的春天,但是我不知道除了说爱你我能带给你什么.
Nor do I know when it is appropriate to reach out and disturb you.
我也不知道该在什么时候打扰你.
I once thought a potted flower on your windowsill might bring you comfort, yet I cannot ask a young lady to tend to such a thing for my sake.
我曾想,要是在你的窗台上有一盆花或许有帮助,但是我不能要求一位年轻女士做这种事情.
The lyrics begin: Gently rouse the slumbering soul, slowly open your eyes..."
歌词,轻轻敲醒沉睡的心灵,慢慢张开你的眼睛..."(
