[End] 066: Love Makes the Proud Bow Their Heads

Perhaps because of the impending separation, Huaiyan didn't cry out much this time.

He meticulously sketched the man's superior features and sexy profile.

It seems he wanted to etch Fu Tingyu into his mind, bit by bit.

After a long while, the boy trembled and took the initiative to kiss the man's chin.

These intimate gestures, which had been done countless times before, now carried a bittersweet feeling.

There are still many things he and Fu Tingyu haven't explained to each other.

Or rather, the two of them never had a face-to-face, open and honest conversation.

In his presence, men always appear completely at ease and utterly relaxed.

They disdain to talk about it, and are too lazy to even bother.

Huaiyan knew that men preferred to prove themselves through actions rather than words.

Just like before, he quietly helped him pay off five million in debt.

The man never said anything to him.

That is why, sometimes, Huaiyan finds it difficult to utter words of questioning or blame.

It's like a fishbone stuck in my throat.

“Ayu.” Huaiyan’s eyelashes trembled slightly.

He asked cautiously, "If...if...I'm no longer here...ah!"

But he persisted, unwilling to give up, and asked again, "Will you... miss me?"

The man stared intently at the boy with a gloomy expression.

"meeting."

This time, Fu Tingyu gave a surprisingly straightforward answer.

As if afraid the boy wouldn't believe him, he repeated, "Yes."

Huaiyan was stunned and stared blankly at the man.

Men rarely speak unless it's a non-essential question.

The other party will not give an immediate answer.

Men are better at silence than eloquence.

But this time, I heard such a straightforward answer.

Huaiyan couldn't help but feel a little thrill inside.

meeting.

Fu Tingyu said yes.

Then, before he could react...

The man suddenly leaned down and grabbed his chin.

"Don't you dare escape." Fu Tingyu's voice was filled with an intense possessiveness.

He said, almost threateningly, "Otherwise, I'll break your legs."

Huai Yan didn't say anything.

He couldn't guarantee that.

Because tomorrow, at the latest tomorrow, he will leave at Fu Tingyu's wedding.

Moreover, no man could break his leg.

Who is it that wants to leave?

-

On the wedding day, Huaiyan got up very early, but he didn't get out of bed; he just lay there quietly.

Beside him, he could hear Fu Tingyu's steady breathing.

Her slender, strong waist was firmly held in place by the man.

Fu Tingyu is getting married to someone else today, but this morning she was still lying in bed with him.

They even spent last night together.

Recalling the absurdity of last night, the boy's face inexplicably turned red.

However, the wedding that followed and the important plot that was about to unfold did not give him a chance to react.

073 finally came online, albeit belatedly, at some unknown time.

"I was suffocating!" 073 yelled. "Damn, I almost thought I wouldn't make it up..."

The boy bent down to tie his shoelaces, and smiled when he heard this: "You always log on the next day, don't worry."

073 sighed: "That's true, I'm mainly afraid of you..."

He stopped mid-sentence and sighed.

He was worried that the boy was too fragile and might do something rash because of Fu Tingyu's wedding.

After all, the wedding was a bit too rushed.

Huaiyan may not have noticed anything, but as an observer, he could easily have discovered it.

From beginning to end, everything about Fu Tingyu, from the rumors about his fiancée to their marriage, progressed too quickly.

It was so fast it felt like there were two hands pushing things forward from behind.

In typical family or corporate marriages, there is usually one to six months to prepare for all the arrangements.

The news was released, the engagement ceremony was held, and the wedding took place.

But Fu Tingyu skipped two of the three steps above and was about to announce his marriage.

Rather than calling it a whirlwind marriage, it's more accurate to say that Fu Tingyu was too impatient.

As for what the rush is for, 073 can't guess.

The man's marriage partner is not Huaiyan.

So he was completely clueless and could only watch helplessly as the plot unfolded, with the two making up and arguing.

"Don't worry about me." The boy raised an eyebrow, revealing his true nature.

Even so, he had the ability to make Fu Tingyu never forget him.

Although the method was risky and a bit crazy.

But taming a mad dog is more than enough.

073 had no idea what its host was thinking.

He also diligently kept an eye out for any activity outside the door for the boy.

Just now, Fu Tingyu had someone deliver Huaiyan to a dressing room.

Before the boy could even stand up straight, he was pushed to try on clothes.

After the boy finished trying on the clothes and came out, the fitting room was empty.

Huaiyan dared not wander off, so he could only stay obediently in his room and wait for Fu Tingyu to come find him.

“I feel like the clothes you’re wearing…” 073 squinted.

"Hmm?" Huaiyan lowered his eyes, looking at his clothes, somewhat dazed. "Wh-what's wrong?"

Huai Yan was wearing an expensive and exquisite dress that was clearly a high-end custom-made gown.

Looking at the intricate and elaborate yet understated embroidery on the suit, 073 asked, "If you're just a groomsman, why is your suit so formal?"

He doesn't look like a best man.

If you really want to describe what it's like...

It looks quite like a wedding dress, and it's a perfect match for Fu Tingyu's.

The boy's eyes darkened.

He didn't think too much about it, and only said, "Maybe so, the Fu family might be rich."

Moreover, he was Fu Tingyu's secret lover.

073 opened his mouth, as if to say something.

But it was interrupted by a series of urgent knocks on the door.

The system immediately went on alert.

The boy tiptoed up from the sofa and walked to the door.

At times like these, the only people who would seek him out are Fu Tingyu or Jiang Zhi.

The knocking was urgent, unlike Fu Tingyu's usual style.

Like Jiang Zhi.

But then, a remark from someone outside the door shattered the boy's assumptions.

"Yan Yan!" Jiang Ze knocked on the door anxiously. "Are you in there?!"

Huai Yan was taken aback, but did not answer, remaining silent.

His fear of Jiang Ze was merely a pretext used by Jiang Zhi to lure him out.

From both a moral and logical standpoint, given that each person and each system is unique, we should remain calm and observe the situation.

“Open it,” 073 suddenly said, “Go outside and take a look.”

Anyway, the story will eventually come to an end; it's just a matter of time.

What difference does it make whether it's earlier or later?

“But…” the boy hesitated.

"I know what you're trying to do."

073 had long since figured out his host's contradictory personality.

To put it bluntly: "If you hesitate now and want to see Fu Tingyu's wedding, then he might be the one who dies at the wedding."

Huai Yan, who was about to retreat, suddenly stopped.

“Open the door now and end this sooner,” 073 said cruelly, “maybe that will save Fu Tingyu and allow you to complete the mission.”

The next second, 073 didn't need to say anything more.

Huaiyan has made her decision.

"Is there something you need?" The boy's voice was soft and gentle, with a hint of caution.

Hearing the voices inside the door, Jiang Ze finally gave up knocking.

"Yanyan, Fu Tingyu is getting married." He asked bluntly through the door, "You can still come with me now, before he abandons you."

Huaiyan bit her lip, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.

Yes, if he wanted to, he would have had many opportunities to escape.

For example, a phone call to the police station to report a murder.

Another example is preventing Fu Tingyu from holding the wedding.

From God's perspective, of course one can see that there are many solutions to this problem.

But an ending is an ending; no matter how many times you try to avoid it, you'll eventually get back on track.

Therefore, death is inevitable.

"No, thank you." The boy's voice was weak yet firm. "Thank you, Jiang Ze."

Thank you so much.

Regardless of the other party's motives for wanting to rescue him.

He remained grateful for Jiang Ze's repeated assistance.

Soon, silence returned outside the door.

Through the peephole, Huai Yan breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Jiang Ze's dejected figure and opened the door.

Judging by the time, the wedding is about to begin.

Jiang Zhi is most likely preparing to take action.

After thinking for a moment, Huaiyan made a call to the police and then went around to the corridor of the wedding entrance.

Sure enough, he saw a familiar figure almost instantly.

Jiang Zhi's face showed both madness and anger.

In his hand, he also held a knife with a sharp, silvery blade.

Huai Yan strode forward and called out to Jiang Zhi just a second before she stepped out of the corridor.

"Jiang Zhi".

The young man walked fearlessly step by step toward the utterly deranged woman, his face unusually calm.

This is completely different from her usual timid and weak appearance.

It's like there are two people.

"You're here too?" Jiang Zhi turned around upon hearing this, and after recognizing the person, she scoffed.

The boy remained calm.

In situations like these, he remained remarkably calm and composed.

“I know what you’re going to do,” Huai Yan said coldly. “I’ve already called the police. You can’t escape.”

Jiang Zhi managed to maintain her composure with great difficulty when she saw the unexpected person.

Upon hearing the words "call the police," the smile on his face vanished instantly.

"asshole!"

She stared at Huai Yan with eyes full of hatred, as if she wanted to devour him alive.

"Then I'll kill you first!" Jiang Zhi's chest heaved violently.

As soon as she finished speaking, she gripped the silver knife and charged straight at the boy.

The moment the knife pierced his chest, 073 activated his pain shield.

Then, several police officers came from both ends of the corridor and subdued Jiang Zhi.

[Attention! The male protagonist's redemption value is full! Log out of this dimensional world immediately!]

[60 seconds left...]

In the instant he collapsed, Huaiyan saw Fu Tingyu, his eyes bloodshot, rushing towards him.

[45 seconds.]

A pair of gentle yet strong hands lifted the boy's swaying, petite body.

[30 seconds.]

With tears streaming down his face, Fu Tingyu stroked the boy's cheek, his voice trembling with despair.

He said, "Baby..."

[15 seconds.]

Huaiyan smiled and, through her blurry tears, made out the corsage pinned to the man's chest.

It clearly reads: Groom: Fu Tingyu.

That can be considered a perfect ending.

With his last ounce of strength, he kissed the man's eyebrows, eyes, and chin once more.

Kiss away the salty tears.

"Ayu, don't, don't cry..."

[Congratulations, host. You have successfully completed your mission and have logged out of this dimension.]

A kiss was imprinted on the man's lips.

The boy peacefully closed his eyes.

I kiss your gloomy eyes and your unbearable past.
