Li Chengyi's academic studies were not very good, but he had a high talent for art, so he eventually entered university through the special admissions program for arts students.

Lin Jingyue had no idea that because her son dressed so well and had such a quiet personality, any picture of him sitting in front of the easel would look like a picture of an internet heartthrob.

Several times I've posted on the confession wall asking for information about this guy; quite a few girls are attracted to his looks. He's also received quite a few love letters; after all, he's outstanding, so it's normal for him to be popular.

The school once held a contest to determine the school's most handsome and beautiful students. They were responsible for uploading the photos, while others voted. The student with the most votes became the school's most handsome and beautiful student.

Of course, there are also good-looking and handsome people who may not have participated in this competition.

Li Chengyi received a high number of votes, mainly because of his strong masculine presence, clean-cut appearance, and good interpersonal relationships. However, he ultimately lost to the school's husky-like senior, who received hundreds of thousands more votes.

People from outside the school all came in to vote, how could the score not be high?

Lin Jingyue was more worried about whether the child's sexual orientation would be different from others. It wasn't that she looked down on gay people, but she needed to prepare herself mentally for this kind of thing.

Soon, her worries about whether the boy was gay stopped, because before graduation, she had never seen him bring a girl home, or even a boy. She even began to suspect that he was a staunch advocate of remaining single.

Mothers share a common concern: they worry that their children will be left without anyone to take care of them when they get old. Therefore, they hope that their children can get married so that they can support each other in the future.

Because she experienced a happy and fulfilling family life, she hopes her children can also have one. A person living alone looks so pitiful.

However, Tang Yun eventually comforted her, saying that the child's future should be decided by the child, and there was nothing she could do about being anxious. Besides, she wouldn't pressure him, so she kept quiet while worrying inwardly.

Isn't this just torturing yourself?

Lin Jingyue suddenly realized that she was getting old and thinking too much.

The child should be allowed to do as he pleases. She is just a mother, not a ruler. Excessive interference will only lead to estrangement between mother and child. This approach is unacceptable; otherwise, what's the difference between her and that old Li?

Once she figured it out, she stopped thinking about it.

As long as the child is happy, that's all that matters; everything else is secondary.

However, later, Li Chengyi brought home a girl, saying she was his girlfriend. They dated for a year, felt good about each other, and decided to meet each other's parents. If possible, they also planned to discuss marriage.

I asked around, and the girl is a police officer from the north. She's 1.75 meters tall, and with heels, she's about the same height as Li Chengyi.

They met through a case, and as they spent more time together, they developed feelings for each other and started dating. After some time, Li Chengyi felt that the time was right and it was time to get married.

A girl's youth cannot wait, so he proposed marriage, which of course required the girl's consent.

It's often said that if two people are dating and neither of them has any intention of getting married after several years, then the relationship will definitely not last.

The woman had actually considered marriage, but she was afraid the other person would think it was too fast, so she didn't bring it up. She just didn't expect the other person to be so thoughtful.

Their usual way of getting along is somewhat similar, with the woman being the breadwinner and the man taking care of the home. The woman is a bit more assertive, while the man is more gentle. So, they are quite compatible in their interactions.

After listening to the story, Lin Jingyue felt something was off. It felt... a bit like the "Four Loves" that were talked about online.

Is it an illusion? It doesn't seem like an illusion.

Forget it, as long as the silly child is loved, she doesn't care about anything else.

The two children got married; they were a handsome couple, a perfect match. Both sets of parents discussed and agreed on a suitable bride price and dowry, and the whole process was smooth without any disagreements.

Lin Jingyue even considered raising the bride price even higher. These days, it's so hard for boys to find wives. She thought that if the bride price was higher, more daughters-in-law would choose her silly son.

However, since they were a couple deeply in love, the betrothal gifts and dowry were merely icing on the cake, and also served as start-up capital for their new life. From now on, they would have to rely on themselves to build their life together.

Looking back, this silly boy didn't even say a word back then, and then he got married in the blink of an eye. It feels so strange.

The couple were very filial, often bringing large bags and small packages home, saying they were coming to live with them. In reality, they were worried the elderly couple would be lonely, so they would come over to visit whenever they had time.

With such wonderful parents, who would want to leave them all alone at home?

Lin Jingyue enjoyed her later years to the fullest. With money and time to spare, she traveled frequently. Since her children were all grown up, she wasn't interested in being a housekeeper and didn't bother with any of the messy affairs.

So their family is very harmonious; no one meddles or causes trouble.

On the day she lay in her hospital bed, she had a dream. She dreamt of her son, who had died young, ravaged by illness, lying in bed and saying to her, "I love you, Mom."

These were past events she didn't want to recall, her most painful memories. But for some reason, she suddenly saw these images.

She longed to hold her child and beg him not to leave. But she also didn't want him to continue suffering from his illness. Her heart was torn between two extremes, causing her immense pain.

After the image disappeared, she seemed to have entered a white, boundless world. This world felt familiar, like the day she was bound to the system.

But instead of hearing the system's voice, she saw a familiar person.

"Do you want to go back? If you complete the mission, I can grant you one wish." The system's mechanical voice sounded even colder and more ruthless.

The person standing in that white, misty world looked exactly the same as she remembered.

"Your mission is to become cannon fodder in various worlds and complete their death achievements. So, state your wish."

"I hope that the three of us can live a good life."

"Okay, deal!"

The subsequent scenes unfolded like a whirlwind tour, showcasing all the worlds. In each world, he met a tragic end, never finding peace.

That must hurt so much!

He experienced almost every possible way to die, and judging from his pained expression, the system probably didn't shield him from pain.

After witnessing everything, Lin Jingyue was already sobbing uncontrollably.

What she perceived as a coincidence was actually something he had begged for.

She suddenly opened her eyes and saw a familiar person beside her, looking at her gently with a familiar smile.

"Yueyue, we'll all be alright!"
