When Cen Yu woke up again, she found herself in a hospital.

He was about to speak when he saw He Yongning to his left.

He Yongning, with his cast on: "..."

Cen Yu: "..." Never mind, let's look at the neighbors next door.

He thought for a moment, then turned his gaze to his right and saw Jiang Tuan with a cast on his leg.

Cen Yu: "..."

We're all going to end up in the hospital together?

He glanced at his raised foot and stared silently at the plaster cast on it.

“…He’s awake.” He Yongning broke the silence.

"Hmm," Cen Yu responded, then turned to look at He Yongning, whose expression was unreadable. "How much do you remember?"

“A lot.” He Yongning pointed to his head, “and even some strange memories.”

Cen Yu noticed that Jiang Tuan was still asleep, so he simply propped himself up with his hands and moved slightly, then beckoned to He Yongning with his finger, "Tell me about it."

“I now have two memories,” He Yongning said after a moment of thought.

He shifted his body slightly, moving closer to Cen Yu's position. The two of them were now in the same boat, missing limbs, and the less than half-meter gap between their beds seemed as unreachable as the Milky Way separating the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl.

He Yongning glanced at his right hand, which was in a cast, with some displeasure. Finally, he used his left hand to prop himself up slightly and get as close to the edge of the bed as possible before speaking to Cen Yu.

“My first memory is… when I was in my senior year of high school, I went out to participate in a competition, and a mudslide struck Meiman High School. Everyone, including the security guard and teachers, perished.” He looked at Cen Yu. “The only survivors were Pei Hengyun and me.”

He paused for a moment, then said, "Of course I know that person is you."

“Hmm.” Cen Yu was not surprised by this memory.

He was just curious. Unlike himself, who had no memory of the past, He Yongning, who didn't need to follow the decryption route, should have known that all his classmates had died in the first timeline. So why would he come back to attend the class reunion?

So he asked that question.

He Yongning looked at him, "If it were you..."

"Ten years later, you receive a letter from a classmate who has long since passed away, inviting you to a class reunion during the summer vacation. What are your thoughts?"

"A prank? Or should I go check it out?"

“…Then I definitely have to go back to live streaming,” Cen Yu said instinctively.

“Yeah, that’s what I thought too,” He Yongning said. He exchanged a glance with Cen Yu, then looked at the unresponsive Cen Yu. “Isn’t this joke funny?”

“Heh.” Cen Yu looked at He Yongning. “Not funny.”

He Yongning frowned, seemingly annoyed, but continued, "...I thought it was a prank."

"Everyone knows what happened at Meiman High School that year."

“For many years afterward, I never went back to my hometown.” He looked at Cen Yu, “...but I donated a sum of money to rebuild the teaching building near the original site.”

No wonder He Yongning still funded the construction of a new teaching building even though Meiman High School no longer exists.

After thinking for a while, Cen Yu finally understood why the story began with Pei Hengyun taking Cen Yu back to his hometown for a class reunion.

In this storyline, Cen Yu and He Yongning are the ones who were not killed, which does not fit the premise that everyone dies.

Meanwhile, Cen Yu made a wish with Yu Sheng in an empty classroom during the winter break of their senior year, hoping that Pei Hengyun could continue to play with them, thus playing a little trick.

Yu Sheng agreed, but told him that Pei Hengyun's presence would gradually replace him.

Because he replaced himself, Pei Hengyun became the one who received the phone call at the class reunion.

Thinking of this, Cen Yu opened the search results and found that, sure enough, it mentioned that a mudslide had broken out again near XX village, where a mudslide had occurred before.

However, thanks to the timely rescue, the incident ended without serious injury, and everyone suffered only minor injuries.

Cen Yu glanced at the message he had sent and found that the chat box with Xiao Le was still from when they went to explore the villa last time—sure enough, after driving into that village, they had already entered the whole story.

He was a little surprised when he received Xiao Le's message.

He only suspected that he had misjudged the situation, and thought that Xiao Le was well-informed and would be able to find out the whole truth in no time.

Now it seems that it was simply because this was a message from Yu Sheng replying to himself.

Now that the story was nearing its end, Cen Yu was finally able to read the entire novel.

Just as he thought, the whole story would be easy to understand if it were divided into the "real world," the "surface world," and the "inner world" according to the game's setting.

The real world is the world where Cen Yu is a live streamer and he is an art teacher.

My journey into the world began when I returned to my hometown for a class reunion.

The other world is a perfect high school.

If they couldn't leave Meiman High School before that moment 10 years ago, then the rescue team couldn't save them either.

The mudslide had already occurred the moment they returned to attend their class reunion. Only by resolving the issues at Meiman High School and leaving before the guardhouse opened at 4 PM could they possibly be found by the rescue team.

The only way to change the past and save everyone is to find Yu Sheng, make a wish, and stop Fan Jie at every juncture. Only then can the real world be changed and the events of 10 years ago be prevented from happening again.

As for the ending of the novel, it doesn't reveal who Pei Hengyun took away...

Cen Yu frowned. He felt that there was something strange about this novel. Pei Hengyun was a classmate who died in the second year of high school. Why would they choose to let him save everyone?

He flipped through the novel to the very end.

Finally found a comment—

[This is a fanfiction of "Class Reunion: A Perfect High School Day"!! Ahhh, are there any fellow fans who want to ship this couple with me?!]

"..." Cen Yu carefully examined the small print at the end of the novel.

I almost doubted that I was seeing things.

"System???" he started yelling at the fat cat.

The fat cat slunk back, seemingly aware of its mistake. "Meow, I never expected that among the stories prepared by the main system, there would be fan fiction, meow~"

"..." Cen Yu beckoned to the fat cat with his finger, "I'd like to see if you're tougher or my hammer is harder!"

He threatened the big fat cat in his head! He demanded the system find the original game for him immediately!!

A few seconds later, a game page appeared in his mind—

[You're a liar, a shameless streamer who loves to lie...]

Cen Yu: "..."

There's no need for those two words before "host"!
