Chapter 49 Finding the Original Author They've Been Holding On

Xu Wenci frowned, slightly opened one eye, but the light in front of him hurt his eyes, so he only glanced at Fu Yanli before closing his eyes again.

Fu Yanli didn't notice at all; instead, he propped his head up and sighed.

It really hurts.

Xu Wenci turned his head and gasped.

Previously, revealing the true nature of this world went unpunished. The fact that they were punished this time suggests that the author has lost control of the plot and cannot prevent the rules they spoke of from being known by the viewers.

I'll have to try again later.

“Fu Yanli,” Xu Wenci said weakly, seeing that Fu Yanli hadn’t noticed him. He sat up and leaned against the headboard. “Fu Yanli, the author plagiarized. We must find the original author.”

He clenched his teeth, his vision blurred, and he could only vaguely see Fu Yanli turn his head. The moment he saw him, Fu Yanli immediately grabbed his shoulder, seemingly too afraid to touch him.

The slight nausea was barely noticeable compared to the pain.

Despite his pale lips, Xu Wenci managed a smile and grabbed Fu Yanli's wrist.

This was the first time Xu Wenci had made such a controlling move. He was exhausted from the pain, but he easily pulled Fu Yanli's wrist and placed it on his own neck.

The warmth made Fu Yanli's wrist tremble. The moment he touched Xu Wenci's skin, he stared intently into Xu Wenci's eyes.

He understood that Xu Wenci wanted to turn this punishment into a scene that the viewers would enjoy even more.

Xu Wenci's eyes were unfocused, staring blankly downwards.

Fu Yanli didn't know if touching Xu Wenci would disgust him, so he had no choice but to keep his wrist in that position.

[They really are together! [Surprise][Surprise][Surprise]]

“There are…bullet…screen…” Xu Wenci said softly.

Fu Yanli felt a warm touch on his skin. He looked down, and Xu Wenci lowered his head, his cheek pressed against his forearm. Xu Wenci seemed to still be frowning. His eyelashes brushed against his sleeve, and his breath seeped into his sleeve, raising goosebumps.

Because of the pain, Xu Wenci's facial muscles were tense, and he could even feel Xu Wenci's cheeks trembling slightly as he gritted his teeth to endure the pain.

Xu Wenci closed his eyes and said nothing more.

She simply held Fu Yanli tightly.

Fu Yanli, it's not that I can't touch you.

Instead, every time I touch you, I am reminded of the argument from the last world.

Fu Yanli hesitated, his upper body pressed against Xu Wenci, while his lower body stood on the ground, embracing him in an extremely strange posture.

He turned his head to the side; Xu Wenci's eyes were tightly closed, his eyelashes trembling.

Does it still hurt?

He thought to himself, thankfully Xu Wenci's leg doesn't hurt right now.

If Xu Wenci bears so much pain, then there is truly no way to undo the damage.

“The author plagiarized; we must find the original author.” Fu Yanli felt Xu Wenci trembling, pursed his lips, and said softly.

I don't know if he was talking to Xu Wenci or to the comments section.

If he says this, he will actually suffer the same fate as Xu Wenci, because this author cannot tolerate the words he writes developing his own will, or even becoming a weapon to accuse him.

But Fu Yanli simply clenched his fingers, then released them, his eyelashes trembling slightly as he gently patted Xu Wenci's back.

The comments section, which was initially filled with people shipping the couple, suddenly erupted in excitement.

【？？？】

Am I seeing things? How did a character in a novel suddenly come to life?

[Rubbing eyes][Rubbing eyes][Rubbing eyes]

Fu Yanli suppressed the growing feeling of suffocation in his throat, tightened his grip on Xu Wenci's waist, and held him tightly with both arms.

He casually put his arm around Xu Wenci's neck, but buried his head tightly in Xu Wenci's left shoulder, as if Xu Wenci was choking him.

Xu Wenci, I understand what you mean.

I understand you.

Now, we are both being punished.

We are both in pain.

And our pain was finally seen by the comments section.

Xu Wenci shook his head.

not enough.

The author's current level of control over the plot of this world is not yet sufficient.

The author had to abandon the story, and was also disliked by the comments section.

"Where is the original author?" Fu Yanli did not look up; the feeling of suffocation in his throat intensified, and his voice became muffled.

Xu Wenci did not move.

He closes his eyes, and the comments will tell them.

They just need to wait.

The curiosity of those watching the live stream drove them to learn the truth about their world.

I had heard a little about it before, but I remember it was clarified before [touching chin][touching chin][touching chin]

[But it seems the other author has left the internet; there's no trace of them now, not even whether they're male or female...]

Does anyone know the name of another book that touches on this topic? [Curious][Curious][Curious]

[It seems to be called "The Ever-Changing CEO and the Temperamental Secretary," that title really stuck with me...]

However, it seems this novel has been deleted by the author, and the versions available online are pirated... I don't know if the content is complete, only a few chapters are available [frowning][frowning][frowning]]

[Question][Question][Question] Has anyone read that book? What's the same content? [Curious][Curious][Curious]

[Encounter, auction, white moonlight, auction, and family situation... these seem to be the five I know [frowning]. But if we follow that author's writing style, the white moonlight should be fake, just a misunderstanding...]

But the character settings are completely different... [frowning]

I don't know about that. [shaking head][shaking head][shaking head]

Xu Wenci's lips were pale, but he curled them into a triumphant smile.

The comments section must be in an uproar right now.

After all, there are so many sources of information in the bullet comments. As long as there is a breakthrough, as long as one person in the bullet comments believes it, the topic will naturally be brought up.

Wasn't the author trying to make them unable to speak and suffer terribly?

He deliberately seizes the opportunity presented by the author's current loss of control over the plot, constantly taking gambles.

Gambling master Yanli shared the same idea as him.

They bet that his acting with Fu Yanli would attract comments and help them uncover the truth.

He and Fu Yanli just hugged each other like that.

Above, the comments section was constantly scrolling.

Xu Wenci gritted his teeth.

An impulse mixed with hatred and an unknown emotion surged into his heart, and he opened his mouth, instantly biting Fu Yanli's neck.

It was as if this way, his hatred for Fu Yanli could dissipate a little.

It was as if in this way, some of his pain would be transferred to Fu Yanli.

Fu Yanli, in pain, hugged Xu Wenci even tighter.

Let's just hold each other like this.

Her amber eyes flickered, and a single, scalding tear fell.

Holding me makes the pain less noticeable.

I am in pain, so you must be in pain too.

That way, it will seem like I'm not in so much pain.

Through the small glass window in the door, Ye Qingdai calmly watched Fu Yanli and Xu Wenci embracing each other.

It seems that Yi Lou and Fu Yanli are the same kind of people.

They're all risking their lives.

They are strikingly similar.

Yi Lou will always know Yi Pei's whereabouts.

Fu Yanli was constantly analyzing all of Xu Wenci's actions.

[Host, are you sure that Fu Yanli and Xu Wenci are currently being monitored to be transmigrators?]

Gu Pei rubbed his hands excitedly: "Hurry up! I can't wait any longer, I have to find out today whether those two are lying to me!"

【no. 】

"Which one isn't it? Isn't it that scheming Fu Yanli...?" Gu Pei's eyes widened immediately. "I knew it was him..."

Neither of the two.

"..."

Gu Pei froze for two seconds, then immediately jumped up: "What!!!"

no!

How could that be!

He believed Xu Wenci for so long...

Hahaha.

He's gone mad.

[Host, going crazy won't solve the problem. Please calm down.]

"I haven't even settled accounts with you yet!" Gu Pei immediately picked up the system, gripping it tightly, gritting his teeth. "Didn't you say that thing could detect who my kind are?"

[Host, please calm down. That tool can detect whether someone can see the comments like you, and whether they have self-awareness. The number of such individuals cannot be determined, so there's no possibility it's deceiving you. You've simply prejudged it as a tool for detecting transmigrators.]

"You want to trick me into a logic trap..." Gu Pei was furious, wishing he could kill the system immediately. "I was the one who asked you what items you had, and you recommended that one..."

[Host, please calm down. I recommended that item to you because your score was insufficient...]

Gu Pei put his hands on his hips and flung the system far away.

The system slowly rolled to Gu Pei's feet, only to be kicked away by Gu Pei.

Gu Pei's anger subsided quickly, but he still intended to put on a show with the system and ask it to tell him more new information.

[Host, do you know why Fu Yanli and Xu Wenci can see the comments?]

Sure enough, the system returned shortly afterward, bringing Gu Peixin new information.

"How should I know?" Gu Pei said irritably, then suddenly remembered something and smiled wickedly, "If you don't know and still ask me this, I'll boil you in a pot until you're electrocuted."

[Host, please calm down. The answer to this question indicates that you are the only bridge through which the protagonist can see this world.]

“The key lies with me…” Gu Pei pointed to himself.

He grimaced; it seemed the system was now leaking electricity.

How could he... possibly have this ability...?

His true identity... the system could never know...

Yi Lou narrowed his eyes as he watched Gu Pei talking to himself on the screen.

His younger brother has always been in his phone since he was a child.

I eat on his phone, I sleep on his phone, I think of him on his phone.

But now his younger brother doesn't miss him anymore.

He didn't even have a life.

However, it doesn't matter.

It's okay.

He raised his bloodshot eyes; all he wanted was his younger brother.

If his brother could come back...

The bright red glint at the corner of his eye disappeared, replaced by an intense obsession in his eyes.

It doesn't matter if he dies...

Fu Yanli has a good mother, and she will take good care of Yi Pei.

She had promised him.

This is the premise of their cooperation.

Seeing the red dot on his phone moving slightly, Yi Lou felt a little more at ease.

It'll be good if his brother comes back...

Xu Wenci turned his head and looked at Fu Yanli, his gaze unfathomable.

We are in pain, but we must live.

The two lay on a bed, panting heavily.

No one spoke.

Neither of them let the other off the hook.

Both of them are too good at lying.

A person who carefully deceives everyone for twenty years while having a script.

One who, for twenty years, recklessly tested all the rules.

Therefore, even if they say they are deeply in love with each other now, neither of them will believe it.

Fu Yanli thought that Xu Wenci wished he could strangle him every time they met, and secretly cursed him to die on the spot.

But when she learned that he might not have memories of his past life, she couldn't help but soften her heart.

Despite having so many opportunities to kill him, she chose the most difficult path.

so……

As long as he's not Fu Yanli from the previous world, that should be enough.

All right.

He has now forgotten everything from the previous world.

They forgot about Xu Wenci and how he was being controlled to do all sorts of things that were out of character for them.

They forgot that Xu Wenci might have simply fallen for him and tried to please him based on the script.

They forgot he was dead.

He also forgot that Xu Wenci had suddenly killed him.

All right.

He's just a pitiful little guy now, restricted by the rules to the point that he can't move at all.

My destined one, please come and save me...

Please come and save me.

I'm a domineering CEO who fell in love with you at first sight...

"Fu Yanli, have we met before the interview?"

Xu Wenci had always wanted to ask this question.

Does Fu Yanli still remember him from that time?

However, hatred always consumed this thought of his.

After the hatred had been fully vented, the little sprout named after the problem pushed its way out of the small crack, creating just enough space for it, and poked its head out.

Fu Yanli remained silent.

He simply looked at Xu Wenci quietly, his eyes gentle.

The answer to this question has been gone for a very long time.

They met when they were twenty-six years old.

His mother also asked him this question.

"Why do you like him?" His mother was always fixated on one answer when it came to relationships, whether it was her own or other people's feelings.

"Mom, who can control someone's liking for something..."

"Let me rephrase the question: Did you meet him before you were twenty-six?"

"I've met you."

"Did you fall in love with him then?"

"Um."

"reason."

"A year ago, I was on a business trip and had a fever. He saved me..."

"Fu Yanli, who are you trying to fool!" Ye Qingdai slammed her hand on the table, stood up abruptly, and laughed angrily. "You went on a business trip to another city and ran into Xu Wenci, who has never left this city?"

“That’s it.” He said, his neck stiff.

As expected, this reason can only fool the people in the live chat; it's impossible to fool one's own mother.

"So what's the reason?"

"Because I dreamed about him."

Ye Qingdai left with her bag, seemingly to invite a sorcerer.

"Mom, I'm serious, I'm serious..."

He chased after him.

But his aloof mother only left him with her aloof back view.

We're doomed.

We're doomed.

This reinforced his mother's preconceived notions about Xu Wenci.

Fu Yanli was so anxious that he scratched his head and cheeks.

However, both of his reasons are true.

It's all true.

Xu Wenci did not believe it.

His mother didn't believe it either.

He lowered his eyes, swallowed hard, and his slightly trembling pupils betrayed his lingering fear.

In fact, if he didn't have that memory, he would also doubt that it was all fake.

His world was too noisy, so even that warmth seemed like a handout he imagined.

Thankfully, it's all true.

He was absolutely certain that it was all true.

The author says: I've been sick and have a lot of other things to do these past few days, and I'm already exhausted.

It's been raining non-stop, and unsurprisingly, I've gotten sick. [Poor thing]

Should I take a break for a few days to adjust my mindset, or should I firmly believe that I will definitely encounter my own good weather? [fist bump] (but I will definitely finish updating the main text by the end of November [heart])
