Fu Shuheng looked at Jiang Xinyue with surprise, his eyes full of confusion and worry: "It's so late, I'm worried about you going home alone. Did I do something wrong to make you unhappy?"

Seeing Fu Shuheng's anxious expression, Jiang Xinyue quickly waved her hand and explained, "No, you're fine. I just felt that my mom must be worried about me since I got home late."

"Alright then! Since you want to go back, I'll drive you!" Fu Shuheng could tell that Jiang Xinyue was hiding something, and since she didn't want to talk about it, he couldn't force her.

"good."

On the way back, Fu Shuheng focused on driving, while Jiang Xinyue sat in the passenger seat, somewhat restless.

Fu Shuheng turned his head to look at her and couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? Is something on your mind?"

Just as Jiang Xinyue was hesitating about whether to tell Fu Shuheng, he spoke first: "Did the system contact you today?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xinyue looked surprised. "You...how did you know?"

"Just a guess," Fu Shuheng said calmly. "You've been acting strange ever since I came back. Did the system tell you something?"

Jiang Xinyue sighed. She had originally planned not to tell Fu Shuheng for the time being, but her mind was in turmoil.

Looking at it now, I think I should tell him! The most basic thing for two people to be together is trust.

"Yes, the system told me that the Bo family went bankrupt, Grandpa Bo passed away, and my son will soon be homeless."

Upon hearing this, Fu Shuheng frowned slightly. After a moment of silence, he reached out and gently covered Jiang Xinyue's hand on her lap, saying softly, "This is not your responsibility. You finally returned to reality and started a new life."

Jiang Xinyue shook her head with a wry smile: "But the system said that if I don't go back to help them, the novel world will collapse and it will also affect the real world."

She looked up at Fu Shuheng, her eyes filled with confusion and struggle. "I really don't know what to do, Shuheng. I don't want to lose everything I have now, I don't want to leave you, but I'm also worried that both of our worlds will fall into crisis."

Fu Shuheng slowly pulled the car over to the side of the road, unbuckled his seatbelt, turned around and looked at Jiang Xinyue earnestly: "Xinyue, let's think of a solution together. If it's really as serious as the system says, running away is definitely not the solution. But we can't act rashly either. I'll face it with you."

Jiang Xinyue's eyes reddened slightly, touched by Fu Shuheng's understanding and support: "But I'm afraid it will drag you into this and put you in danger."

Fu Shuheng gently held her hand, offering her warmth: "Don't worry, I won't let you risk your life alone. Since the system can find you, it might have a solution. Let's contact it first and see if we can learn more about the situation."

Jiang Xinyue nodded, feeling a little more at ease.

In the novel's world, after the Bo family went bankrupt, Old Master Bo also passed away.

Overnight, Bo Jingcheng lost everything. He first buried the old man, knelt before his grave in remorse, and vowed to find Jiang Xinyue.

Later, the villa was mortgaged to pay off debts, so he had to sell the old house and move into a rented apartment with his son, Bo Xuan.

"Dad, will we be living in this little house from now on?"

Looking at his son's bewildered and uneasy eyes, Bo Jingcheng felt a pang of sadness. He forced a smile, reached out and patted Bo Xuan's head, saying, "Yes, Xuanxuan, we'll be living here from now on. But don't worry, Dad will definitely make our lives better."

Bo Xuan nodded as if he understood, then asked, "Dad, where did Mom go? I miss her so much. Why doesn't she come back to see us?"

Hearing his son's words, Bo Jingcheng's eyes instantly dimmed, guilt and longing surging in his heart. He hugged Bo Xuan into his arms, his voice choked with emotion: "Mom...she went to a very far place, but Dad will definitely bring her back, believe Dad."

Bo Xuan nodded vigorously in Bo Jingcheng's arms, his young face full of anticipation for the future. Bo Jingcheng hugged his son tightly, secretly vowing that he would find Jiang Xinyue no matter the cost.

Meanwhile, in the real world, Jiang Xinyue and Fu Shuheng were trying to contact the system. Jiang Xinyue silently prayed, "System, come out, I still have many questions to ask you."

The system's voice quickly sounded in her mind: [Host, what do you want to know?]

Fu Shuheng leaned closer to Jiang Xinyue and said to the air, "You said that the collapse of the novel's world would affect the real world. What specific impacts would that have? Do you have any more detailed information?"

[System: Once the novel's world collapses, various anomalies will occur in the real world, such as spacetime distortions, and the inexplicable appearance of objects or scenes not belonging to reality in some places. In severe cases, it may lead to the rewriting of the real-world rules in some areas, causing irreversible consequences.]

Jiang Xinyue's expression turned very serious after hearing this. She gripped Fu Shuheng's hand tightly and asked, "Then what can we do to stop the collapse of the novel's world?"

[System: You need to stabilize the emotions of the core characters in the novel's world, namely Bo Jingcheng and Bo Xuan, and help them overcome their difficulties in order to restore the original order of the novel's world.]

Fu Shuheng frowned and pondered for a moment, then asked, "If we find a way to stabilize the novel's world, is it possible to sever the connection between the two worlds without affecting the real world, allowing Xinyue to remain completely in reality?"

The system paused for a moment before replying: "Theoretically, there is a way, but you'll need to explore the specifics yourself."

Jiang Xinyue fell into deep thought. "When I entered the novel world to win over Bo Jingcheng, it was to prevent him from turning evil. Now, the root of his evil should still be the decline of the Bo family."
