HISD Chapter 64 About Me Marrying the Witch
The old-fashioned convertible drove past the landmark sign, now reading "Westview."
Under the watchful eyes of the town's 1950s-style residents, Yi Meng steered the car to the empty foundation, now transformed into a newly appeared wooden house.
He parked, took a deep breath, and calmly adjusted his mindset.
Marriage was a graveyard.
Especially marrying Scarlet Witch while pretending to be a reborn Vision.
Exposure would be disastrous.
First, he would play house with this witch, then find a way to escape.
As Yi Meng thought this, he glanced at Wanda in her white wedding dress. She had opened the car door, glanced at the yard, checked her new high heels, and returned a pouty, pleading look.
That adorable and tempting expression…
Yi Meng's mechanical heart almost shattered.
Fully immersing himself in the role, Yi Meng quickly got out of the car, moved around to her side, placed one hand on Wanda's delicate bare back, and with the other, lifted her in a princess carry, the skirt flowing gracefully.
Wanda instinctively wrapped her silk-gloved arms around his neck, hair resting against him, intimate and warm.
Softness and fragrance enveloped him.
Yi Meng maintained a calm expression, carrying Wanda to their new wooden home.
Dying like this… wouldn't be so bad, right?
Bang!
The next moment, Yi Meng collided with the wooden door. He paused, looking down—Wanda in her wedding dress had vanished from his arms.
At the same time,
Yi Meng noticed his old wedding suit had transformed into a regular work suit, complete with a vintage briefcase.
Slap.
Inside, he could hear Wanda humming while cleaning, the sound faint but present.
The scene shifted again.
Yi Meng recalled a new false memory: they had been married and settled in town for a month.
Now, he had just finished work.
"This town has been altered by Chaos power; time, space, and rules are controlled by the witch," he thought.
He was certain. One of Chaos power's abilities was to manipulate reality. Clearly, Wanda was subconsciously using this power to soothe her broken heart.
In this Marvel dreamscape, she could easily kill him.
Yi Meng exhaled, suppressing the urge to immediately fly away.
Wanda was waiting for him at home, a scene scripted by her Chaos power. Leaving it abruptly could expose him or result in something terrifying.
So,
Yi Meng continued to play Vision, retrieving the key to enter the house.
Bang!
As he entered the living room, a magically levitating plate struck his head and shattered.
"Oh, darling, are you okay?"
Wanda, in a white pleated apron, controlled by magic, looked at him apologetically.
"I'm fine, my head is tough," Yi Meng said with a smile.
"Of course, my husband's head is indestructible. I'm a magic girl, you're a mechanical boy; we're a perfect match."
Wanda laughed, magically repairing the broken plates. "What do you want to eat? Silver pancakes, crispy potato cakes, bacon, eggs, or ramen?"
"I'm not hungry," Yi Meng rubbed his stomach.
Wanda opened the empty fridge, realization dawning. "Right, my husband has a mechanical stomach, no need to eat, so the fridge is empty."
Yi Meng frowned. In his view, the entire town and everyone in it were gray and colorless, dressed in old-fashioned clothes, speaking odd lines.
This was how Wanda imagined the setting, like an old-fashioned TV drama of a married couple living peacefully in a town.
Wait, there was one spot with color.
On the calendar in the living room, a date was marked with a red heart.
July 25th.
Today.
Yi Meng pointed at it, smiling. "Wanda, I see a mark here. Is today a special day?"
She smiled sweetly. "Today… you haven't forgotten, have you? It's that day."
Which day? Speak up!
Yi Meng grew anxious, wondering what significance this day held for Wanda and Vision.
It might expose him.
"How could I forget," he said confidently. "I'm a superbrain; I remember everything."
Wanda looked straight at him, softly saying, "But you forgot me."
Yi Meng paused, unsure if it was Vision's power or something else, a pang in his heart.
Before he could react, Wanda's eyes sparkled. "Xiao Meng, don't forget tonight is an important day."
"Wait, what did you just call me?" Yi Meng's heart jolted.
Wanda smiled sweetly, hugging him. "Xiao Meng, or maybe Xiao Vision?"
"Just call me Xiao Meng."
He smiled weakly, realizing Wanda's subconscious might already sense his true identity
He had to escape quickly.
Yi Meng tightened his briefcase, donned a black cap, and said gravely, "I just remembered, I have some work at the office, I'll go handle it."
Wanda escorted him to the door. "Go, be safe, and come back early tonight."
"Yes, yes."
Yi Meng remained calm, escaping the terrifyingly gentle home.
Outside,
He drove the convertible to his assigned office in Westview, an accounting firm.
"Wanda may still be watching me; I can't leave town yet," he thought.
"I'll study the town's situation first, then find the right time to escape."
He decided, stepping into the company.
Meanwhile,
Back at the two-story wooden house,
Wanda, in her housewife outfit, looked at the calendar, smiling happily while cleaning with magic.
Suddenly, she went to the wall, took down a photo of the two of them from the past.
The photo showed a beautiful woman in a red coat and a black-red metallic mechanical man.
Wanda smiled softly, raising her fair right hand. With a flare of Scarlet magic, the mechanical man in the photo gradually shifted into a young, handsome silver-haired man.
It was exactly like the real Yi Meng.
"I can feel you again," Scarlet Witch Wanda whispered, smiling as she replaced the photo on the wall.
