World Three

He Xing actually didn't regret leaving without saying goodbye, nor did he think it was a big deal.

The only thing he regretted was that he didn't directly break up with Cheng Wei when he was so angry that night, otherwise he wouldn't be so passive now.

The system looked at He Xing and carefully nudged itself further into his blanket, attempting to conceal its dark form with the white quilt. It didn't quite understand why its host was passive: rendering Yu Chengwei speechless couldn't be considered passive, could it?

Thinking of this, the system sighed in its heart for the umpteenth time: Humans are really strange creatures.

"I'm on the train now." He Xing answered the question that Yu Chengwei asked twice.

He didn't have the same mind-reading ability as the system, so he naturally didn't know what the system was thinking. If he knew, he might not just imagine beating the other person in his mind—he would directly take action.

"Train?" Yu Chengwei was stunned for a moment, then his tone became extremely urgent. "Where are you going alone?"

He Xing didn't show any emotion at all because of Yu Chengwei's anxious tone, and he was too lazy to answer him.

I don’t know if it was a coincidence or something else, but during the time when He Xing didn’t answer, the train stopped at the station.

The broadcast begins announcing the site name.

Many people got off the bus, and one after another, they pulled up their suitcases and walked towards the door.

Yu Chengwei wrote down the name of the site amid the noisy background noise. He compromised, "Okay, it's okay if you don't tell me. It's your freedom. Can we keep in touch over the next few days?"

"We have broken up..." He Xing wanted to say that, but then he remembered the sentence that Yu Chengwei used against him, 'Breaking up and being together should have a sense of ceremony', and was forced to swallow his words.

So why did I say that nonsense before, "Both breaking up and confirming a relationship require a sense of ritual"? Did I get kicked in the head by a donkey?

However, if Yu Chengwei intended to use this to threaten him, that would be impossible.

"You can think of me as someone who's traveling," He Xing said. "You can wait until I come back."

"Don't you want a sense of ceremony?" He Xing thought about this and laughed, "When I get back, I'll give you a full sense of ceremony."

It's just a breakup.

At this moment, the system once again achieved an eerie synchronization with the host's predecessor's thoughts—who the hell would want this kind of ritual?!

Before hanging up Yu Chengwei's call, He Xing still agreed to reply to the other party's message.

The system finally dared to poke its head out from under the quilt: [Um, host...]

After realizing that this host was not as easy to persuade as the previous host, the system became much more cautious in its speaking attitude.

As for making the other person feel cold... after reading the host's past, the system really doesn't dare to use this skill on this host.

It was a little afraid that the other party would just say, "Then you'd better freeze me to death."

He Xing didn't say anything, but just nodded to indicate that it could say whatever it wanted to say.

"You clearly already know he didn't go on the blind date..." the system whispered. After noticing He Xing's unpleasant expression, it immediately abandoned its usual tone of first suppressing and then praising. It spoke quickly, as if a ghost was chasing it. "Anyway! You're probably angry about more than just what Cheng Wei said, right?"

He Xing did not answer this question because he knew that the system could read his thoughts.

Of course, it's not just that. He hated Yu Chengwei's self-righteousness in doing things for his own good, and he also hated the other party's concealment and deception... But what he hated most was that when Yu Chengwei found out that he might have discovered this matter, his first reaction was to question instead of explaining.

He Xing doesn't think he has a bad temper.

Yes, he doesn’t like others’ tolerance and threats, nor does he like others to be self-righteous and do things for his own good.

But he is not an idiot who can't listen, and he will not cover his ears and say "I don't want to hear it" when the other party tries to explain.

If Yu Chengwei's first reaction at that time was not to question whether he had taken his phone, but to explain what had happened, he would not have thought there was anything wrong with it.

Yu Chengwei could have said that he was forced to go by his parents. This reason seemed lame, but he could deceive himself into believing it.

Even if Yu Chengwei said bluntly that I really wanted both sides, He Xing would not think it was a big deal.

[But even if his first reaction was to explain rather than question,] the system suddenly said, [the host would still feel a little uneasy, right?]

This time He Xing did not deny it. He just said "hmm" in a low voice.

The only difference might be... the former would make him feel like he does now, that Yu Chengxu is not sincere at all, but just hypocritical, something that everyone wants.

The latter would make his prejudice against Chengwei less deep. However, it just meant that his tone would not be so aggressive when he received the other party's call, which did not mean that he would not break up with Yu Chengwei.

Even if he agreed to reply to the message sent by Yu Chengwei, it did not mean that his attitude had softened.

It's just that he had just lost his temper once and was too lazy to do it again.

The system didn't say anything else. It watched the transformation degree slowly rise to 3%, and felt that this task was still long and arduous.

No one knows when it will be able to return to its own planet and have a body of its own.

The two hosts before didn’t seem so difficult to deal with… Wait, it was bound to two hosts before!

It can definitely ask the opinions of the two previous hosts!

[Host, I'm going to go out for a while!] Thinking of this, the system immediately became alert, [See you later!]

He Xing didn't say anything, just glanced at it lightly, and then thought silently in his heart: [It's best not to see it.]

system:【. 】

The system snorted and flew away angrily.

The three hosts were all on Earth and had all been bound to the system, so the system quickly found the location of the first host.

After being bound to the system, Luan Ye is very different from the original Luan Ye. Although he is still a young man, the gloom between his brows is much less.

Luan Ye is now chatting in a coffee shop with a foreigner whom the system does not recognize.

The system lay silently on the table, waiting for them to finish their conversation.

Luan Ye noticed its presence, but his expression did not show any abnormality.

But why is the first host the only one here? Where is his lover? The system wondered as it opened the panel and began searching for the first host's partner - Gao Yuan.

To its surprise, the panel showed that Gao Yuan was nearby.

It flew up, turned around, and found an eye-catching black motorcycle parked not far from the coffee shop.

And who else could that person leaning against the motorcycle be but Gao Yuan?

The foreigner in the coffee shop stood up and said to Luan Ye in broken Chinese, "Happy cooperation." while extending his hand to Luan Ye.

"It's a pleasure working with you." Luan Ye smiled, stood up and shook hands with the other party.

After the foreigners left, Luan Ye didn't get up immediately. Instead, he turned on his phone and pressed the answer key: "Tell me, what do you want to talk to me about?"

The waiter who was originally coming to collect the plates took a look and stepped back consciously.

The system confirmed that the first host was speaking to it and immediately looked back at him: [This time, binding to a third host is difficult. I need the host's advice!]

"Can you be more specific?" Luan Ye asked.

The system had been waiting for him to say this, and as soon as Luan Ye said this, it started to complain.

Bitterness immediately overwhelmed Luan Ye. He thought for a moment: "...So they have broken up now, but you think they can't end it here."

[Yes!] The system nodded in agreement. [Besides, the system's judgment can't be wrong! The two of them are only 100% compatible when they are together!]

At this point, it suddenly realized something, but then the system thought: The Creator simply stipulated that it could not say these things to its host. Now that Luan Ye was no longer its host, even if Luan Ye guessed something from this sentence, it wouldn't have any impact, right?

Luan Ye did guess something from the system's words, but he didn't intend to ask: "But if they are really a perfect match, why are they arguing?"

[How could anyone be born compatible with each other?] The system replied, [The criterion for determining compatibility is whether two people are willing to change for each other.]

People may be willing to make compromises for the ones they love, but few are willing to change for the other person.

[Of course, there's more to it than that. It also depends on whether the two people will argue about this 'change' later.] The system added, [If they are truly willing to change for the other person, then they definitely won't argue about this later, and they won't say things like, 'I've given up so much for you.']

"What's the problem you're facing now?" Luan Ye asked, "Is it because the other party is unwilling to do what you say?"

[Yes,] the system was a little helpless, [He really was repulsive, and he...]

It took out the conversations between He Xing and itself and repeated them to Luan Ye.

The expression on Luan Ye's face gradually changed from "Isn't his tone a bit too much?" to "Why didn't I think of saying this before?"

As a system that can read minds, it can of course know what Luan Ye is thinking. It immediately shouted: [What are you thinking about! ]

"Oh! Well, I don't think you need to worry too much." Luan Ye forcibly pulled his thoughts back. "He's just angry right now. Do you know what an angry person needs most?"

【What is it?】 The system humbly asks.

"It's the other person's attitude in admitting their mistake," Luan Ye said. "A good admission of fault should mean they acknowledge their mistakes and are willing to correct them. As for whether the person being apologized to is willing to accept it, that depends on their own wishes. No one can force them to accept it."

"I seem to understand, but I also seem not to understand." The system said, turning its head, "By the way, host, why did you buy a motorcycle?"

"Well, he won a lottery before... a big one." Luan Ye turned his gaze outside the coffee shop. Gao Yuan, leaning against his motorcycle, seemed to have noticed something and turned his head at this moment. He waved at him in surprise, and the small black pom-pom hanging next to his keychain swayed with his movement. "So he decided to splurge."

Luan Ye also waved to Gao Yuan.

The system said goodbye to Luan Ye and began to locate the second host.

The system positioning showed that the other party was now in a scenic spot, and it quickly teleported to Yang Zheyu's location.

Yang Zheyu was now hanging a rope on his body and climbing up little by little. However, he was still no match for Shang Feng who was using this as a way to vent his anger.

Because the other party has already gone up, and he is still... fuck!

The system suddenly appeared in front of Yang Zheyu, which scared him and the buckle he was about to hang it on also loosened.

The whole person slid down a distance and was directly hung in the air by the rope.

"What's wrong?" Shang Feng, who had already reached the summit, didn't expect such an incident to happen. He asked in a hoarse voice while quickly putting on the equipment he had just taken off, "Are you okay?"

The staff nearby were also startled by Yang Zheyu's sudden descent and hurried to help Shang Feng put on his gear. Tourists aren't usually allowed to participate in rescue operations here, as they're worried about accidents. But judging by the man's climbing performance, he was clearly much more professional than them.

"It's okay," Yang Zheyu said, seeing the system next to him even more panicked than he was, moaning and groaning while buttoning his shirt. "I just slipped! Don't get off!"

[Sorry!] The system cried, [I thought you were traveling, but I didn't expect you were rock climbing.]

If it knew that the second host was busy climbing, it would definitely wait until the other party went up before appearing.

"It's okay," Yang Zheyu coaxed it, "Look, I'm not injured now."

After he said this, the system remembered that it could scan the other person's physical condition and immediately circled around Yang Zheyu. After confirming that there were no internal or external injuries, the system was truly relieved.

"Okay, tell me, what brings you here?" Yang Zheyu asked as he grabbed the rope again, intending to continue climbing. "You can't be thinking of me suddenly, right?"

[I encountered a little problem, it's about the third host...] The system mustered up the courage, but it had just started when it was interrupted by Shang Feng above.

Shang Feng's heart nearly jumped out of his throat when he saw Yang Zheyu preparing to climb again. He quickly shouted at him, "Don't move. I'm going down now!"

"Sorry, let me say a few words to him first." Yang Zheyu apologized to the system halfheartedly, then shouted at it again, "I said it's okay!"

But he really didn't move, just waiting there for Shang Feng to come down - he also knew that Shang Feng said that because he was worried about him.

The system had no choice but to make it short and quickly explained the story about the third host.

"I see. Your problem now is that the other person is very reluctant to forgive another person." Yang Zheyu thought for a moment, "I've also encountered things that are difficult to forgive before - my family thinks it's okay for me to be with a man, but my relatives like to gossip about it."

"One even brought me a large bag of traditional Chinese medicine from time to time, saying it could cure homosexuality," Yang Zheyu said. "But my family scolded him, and he stopped saying that."

"Well, it's those who grew up being taught things like 'You need to take care of your husband and children' or 'You need to find a good wife,' who feel fear when they one day realize they're different from most people," Yang Zheyu continued. "I always thought I was immune to those words, but when those words and the behaviors that implied them appeared before me, I realized I wasn't completely immune."

"If I were in their shoes, a relative's behavior could have upset me for so long, then a lover's concealment and deception would surely have made me even more angry," Yang Zheyu concluded. "He was already very angry, otherwise he wouldn't have just walked away."

"And your presence tells him that you are here to repair their relationship. Of course, he won't be happy to talk to you."

[So what should I do now?] The system humbly asks again.

"Let's wait for him to calm down first," Yang Zheyu said. "Actually, you don't have to worry... You see, even though he was very angry at the time, he still endured the frustration and called the other party after knowing that this might cause you to lose your body."

[So,] the system seemed to understand, but not quite, [I think I understand.]

"Okay, I understand." Yang Zheyu looked up at Shang Feng, who was also descending smoothly, and asked him, "...No, what are you doing here?"

And how come this guy came down faster than he went up?

"I came to see if you fell somewhere, but you don't know it." Shang Feng touched Yang Zheyu's back as he spoke, then slid down a little and touched his leg, "Do you feel any cramps?"

"No." Yang Zheyu said, lifting his legs. "See? These smooth muscle lines."

"I saw it," Shang Feng was frightened enough at the moment, and he said casually and continued to ask, "What about your hands? Try to move them too."

Yang Zheyu was helpless, but he also knew that Shang Feng was really nervous, so he made a grasping motion with his hands: "Did you see it?"

"I saw it," Shang Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief. He climbed up a bit and kept his eyes on Yang Zheyu at the same distance. "What did you see just now? You suddenly slid down and scared me."

I was actually quite shocked just now, Yang Zheyu thought.

The system that hadn't left felt like it had been hit by an arrow in its non-existent knee, and it tried to shrink itself.

"There's a spider." Yang Zheyu said while apologizing to the system in his mind, "I gave it a big scare."

"Spider?" Shang Feng was stunned. "It shouldn't be possible. There are wild spiders in this place?"

The system felt like its nonexistent knee had been struck by another arrow. Even though it knew what Yang Zheyu meant, it couldn't resist the urge to defend itself: [I'm not a spider!]

The same words were used to convince the second host to open their eyes and see it.
