Chapter 50 I am an innocent person. He from the last world has returned...

Can anyone tell me... what's going on right now? [Chin resting on hand][Chin resting on hand][Chin resting on hand]

It's complete chaos...

Fu Yanli lowered his eyes. He could probably sense that his and Fu Yanli's mutual loathing had reached its peak, so he was even less willing to go to the Fu family banquet.

“Xu Wenci,” Fu Yanli whispered, his voice very low, “Xu Wenci…”

Xu Wenci pretended not to hear, lying in the corner of the bed, slowly moving to the edge of the bed, seemingly still dissatisfied with the punishment of being tied together.

Fu Yanli knew that Xu Wenci was actually stubborn, but he stared intently at Xu Wenci's profile, afraid that Xu Wenci would accidentally roll off the bed again. The two of them were more than a meter apart, lying on the ground hand in hand.

No, Xu Wenci might get angry and break his hand.

The plagiarism issue has resurfaced in the news, but the author is playing dead. [smile][smile][smile]

[But why is the author still updating? [scratching head] Such a good attitude! [smiling][smiling][smiling]]

The story is still unfolding...

Xu Wenci lifted the blanket, revealing half of his face that was covered by the blanket's shadow.

That means... the author is still trying to control the plot...

or……

Fu Yanli glanced at him.

The authors have relinquished control of the plot; the plot is now in their hands.

Xu Wenci turned his head and met Fu Yanli's gaze.

Want to verify it?

Fu Yanli raised an eyebrow.

certainly.

What kind of riddle are these two playing...?

I don't want to [do this] anymore, I really want to [do this] [sad][sad][sad]

The status of the comments is very unstable.

The words began to distort, sometimes even becoming a blur, making them difficult to read.

Fu Yanli got up and sat on the edge of the bed.

He had been pondering a question for a long time: why do bullet comments exist in this world?

Is it because of the favor of Lady Luck? As the lucky protagonist, he naturally gets a cheat code.

Or is it a sign that the world is beginning to collapse?

Does the collapse of the bullet comments mean that the connection between this world and that world is weakening?

"Do you want to go to the Fu family?" Fu Yanli glanced at the comments, then looked at Xu Wenci, who was also looking at the comments.

"Isn't this a good opportunity to verify?" Xu Wenci raised his eyes, pursed his lips, and slowly, very slowly, his fingers gripped Fu Yanli's wrist again.

All grudges must be put aside in the face of the script and the comments.

Because he had to live.

Fu Yanli lowered his eyes, his eyelashes trembling slightly, and his gaze swept lightly over Xu Wenci's unnaturally pale hand.

Is there something on his wrist? Why does Xu Wenci always hold his wrist...?

Right wrist...

There used to be a scar.

It was left behind on the day he committed suicide.

It disappeared three days later.

Xu Wenci also has a scar on his wrist.

Did Xu Wenci want to touch his scars to see if they had really disappeared?

I'm still sad that my scars haven't disappeared...

Fu Yanli was making wild guesses when he came to his senses and saw Xu Wenci sitting on the edge of the bed, lost in thought.

“Yanli,” a knock came at the door. Su Anlan’s voice trembled with joy, the last syllable unconsciously drawn out, “I’ve come to pick you up.”

Fu Yanli got up to open the door, and Xu Wenci hesitated for a moment before following him.

It's unclear how long this punishment of tying the two of them together will last.

But it shouldn't be too long.

After all, the author is currently facing both internal and external troubles and may not be able to hold on for long.

"Oh..." Su Anlan looked the two of them up and down, noticing their coordinated tugging at each other's sleeves as they appeared together. She winked at them and teased, "I didn't expect you two to be so inseparable!"

Fu Yanli had just shaken his head when Xu Wenci grabbed his wrist.

Startled, Fu Yanli's wrist trembled, and he blinked before nodding, "It's alright."

"Hurry up, or we'll be late."

Fu Yanli grabbed Xu Wenci and rushed out immediately. Perhaps because the movement was a bit too large, a slight electric current ran through his arm.

With his arm trembling slightly, Fu Yanli hadn't even reacted when Xu Wenci gripped Fu Yanli's hand tightly.

Fu Yanli still couldn't guess what Xu Wenci was thinking.

Could it be... that this kid wants to kill me again...?

Once Fu Yanli had this idea, he couldn't think of any other possibilities.

He sighed, his deep purple eyes blinking, a glimmer of light flashing within them.

After all, Xu Wenci was probably the first person to break the script mechanism.

By accidentally killing him, they also discovered the secret that one of the two protagonists could kill the other.

Let him lower his guard, then kill him...

It's not impossible.

After all, in the previous world, Xu Wenci had spent a month by his side, showering him with affection, before killing him.

Fu Yanli carefully considered the entire journey.

Then, she decided that she would never eat the cake that Xu Wenci bought for her again.

"I heard that your family's banquets have a private chef serving the dishes. Do you have cake?" Xu Wenci glanced at Fu Yanli and almost instantly remembered Fu Yanli's sweet tooth.

"They have macarons."

As soon as he finished answering, Fu Yanli immediately disagreed with his own idea.

Let's not eat what Xu Wenci offers and wait until after today's family dinner.

Xu Wenci would definitely offer me macarons, so wouldn't it be a waste of the private chef's skills and Xu Wenci's good intentions if I didn't eat them?

eat.

You absolutely have to eat it.

"Oh, and don't be too lovey-dovey when you two go in." Su Anlan saw them off at the entrance of the Fu family manor, giving them a lot of instructions, afraid that they would act like they did at the last auction.

"OK." Fu Yanli was extremely adept at feigning compliance while secretly going against orders.

In fact, he had already planned how to annoy Old Master Fu.

It's all because of this old man Fu who keeps trying to trip us up, and he still fails.

What a waste of his deployment...

"I heard that President Fu has a lover, who is apparently his secretary. During President Fu's hospitalization, she not only came to get off work on time but also took care of him every day..."

During the family dinner, someone brought up a topic that drew gasps of amazement from the others.

Instantly drawing attention from those around him, the man became even more smug and began to chatter on and on, "I heard that person is actually President Fu's secretary, and that he's incredibly capable at work..."

[No, no, the people at the banquet are being unreasonable. Why are they being so formal at a family dinner? Shouldn't they be yelling at the top and the bottom? [Scratching head][Scratching head][Scratching head]]

Only one comment appeared; the rest of the content seemed to scatter like quicksand, disappearing without a trace in an instant.

What would happen to the world if bullet comments completely disappeared...?

Xu Wenci pursed his lips, and suddenly this idea popped into his head.

However, instead of whispering in the live chat, people around started talking.

"Is Mr. Fu's secretary or his lover? Mr. Fu should bring her today, right...?"

"But Grandpa Fu doesn't seem satisfied..."

Upon hearing such blatant discussion, Old Master Fu coughed.

The surrounding noise instantly decreased significantly.

But it wasn't because of Old Master Fu.

Instead, it was Fu Yanli and Xu Wenci who arrived.

Xu Wenci had somehow hidden behind the champagne tower and was eating, with Fu Yanli standing next to him.

Fu Yanli was left facing the scrutinizing and curious gazes of the crowd.

Fu Yanli had never attended the family banquets before.

Whether outsiders or the Fu family, she must have participated this time to save face for her boyfriend.

"Uncle, you and this person..."

As soon as Fu Yanli sat down, the child next to him moved a small chair over and curiously looked at Xu Wenci.

Xu Wenci squatted down to greet the child.

A faint electric current emanated from his arm, but he still smiled and introduced himself to the child:

"I am Uncle Xu."

"Hello, Uncle Xu." The child raised his little hand to greet him, and clapped with Xu Wenci with a smile.

The child is so cute... the child is so cute...

Does anyone still read this book? [Curious][Curious][Curious] Isn't this book plagiarized? [Wink]

[Actually, they've run most of the way, and the number of comments has decreased by at least two-thirds... but this kid is so cute...]

Xu Wenci narrowed his eyes, a faint hint of disgust flashing in his amber eyes.

Let's all go.

After he left, he killed both Fu Yanli and him.

Anyway, this book wasn't a good thing to begin with.

This world should never have existed in the first place.

He was momentarily distracted when he felt the cold hilt of a knife gripping his palm. His hand was trembling slightly. Looking down, he saw a lot of blood welling up in his hand holding the hilt. The warm touch of the blood made his hand shudder, and the dagger fell to the ground.

A breeze was blowing, and Xu Wenci stood there blankly, waiting for the warm blood to turn cold and cling to his hands.

He snapped back to reality, his empty fingertips revealing nothing, and his terrified eyes were filled with helplessness.

This is an illusion from the previous world.

"Fu Yanli, do you want to live?" Xu Wenci swallowed hard, and after a long while, staring at Fu Yanli, who was only two seats away from him, he murmured softly.

He knew Fu Yanli couldn't hear him, so he murmured without restraint.

If we want to live, let's go find the original author together.

Fu Yanli was teasing the child, giving him a macaron while he himself stared longingly at it.

Xu Wenci lowered his eyes, no longer looking at Fu Yanli, and instead quietly ate a macaron.

It's cloyingly sweet.

He frowned, wondering why Fu Yanli liked it.

Even someone like him who loves sweets can't accept this.

Fu Yanli turned his head, his deep purple eyes fixed on Xu Wenci.

Although Xu Wenci didn't look at him, he still stared at Xu Wenci quietly.

He was always like this in the last world.

As a result, Xu Wenci loathed him so much.

He really, really likes Xu Wenci.

In the previous world, he clearly fell in love with Xu Wenci at first sight.

But he was being controlled, and he didn't know what he was doing.

When he awoke with a start, he was met with a sharp knife.

It pierced the heart.

He was shocked to realize that Xu Wenci hated him so much.

Xu Wenci was also taken into custody.

When Xu Wenci awoke with a start, what she did was kill her husband.

He wondered if this would wipe the slate clean.

He died.

Xu Wenci killed him.

Can he have a chance to start over with Xu Wenci?

The answer is no.

However, someone who has been in a one-sided love for too long will go crazy.

No, it's that a ghost who has been in a one-sided love for too long will go crazy and have no scruples whatsoever.

The pain was so intense that I had to bend over, and my heart was pounding.

I want to ask Xu Wenci through tears, why don't you love me?

She also wanted to tell Xu Wenci that it was okay if he didn't love her.

But what I want most is to hold Xu Wenci tightly in my arms.

To receive a hug that won't push you away.

Then, he returned to being twenty-six years old.

His memories of the first twenty-five years of this world allowed him to quickly understand it, while his memories of the previous thirty years allowed him to truly understand Xu Wenci.

He has one more year to have the opportunity to meet Xu Wenci.

He waited.

I've been waiting.

The damage he caused him in the last world cannot be undone.

What about the world?

In this world, I am not Fu Yanli, and you are not Xu Wenci.

Fu Yanli's eyelashes trembled slightly as he looked at Xu Wenci, who was less than a meter away from him, his fingers unconsciously curling up.

Xu Wenci was so overwhelmed by the sweetness of the macarons that he had to drink water, but Fu Yanli kept staring at him. He was amused and gave a big smile.

I am an innocent person.

I'm so innocent that I'm just a pitiful person bound by rules, so innocent that I, like you, want to break the rules of this world.

In this world, we are allies.

This is the natural contract that the world has given us.

Fu Yanli lowered his eyes and thought that Xu Wenci was such a soft-hearted person. Even if he really hated himself from the previous world, he couldn't vent his anger on this version of himself that he was "completely unaware of".

He once debated a question with Xu Wenci:

"If a person is utterly wicked and has committed many heinous acts, if you could travel back in time to before he did those things, would you kill him?"

Xu Wenci took the snacks he offered and casually said, "No."

He won't.

He never will.

The lively background noise of the variety show on the TV made the whole living room feel even warmer. Xu Wenci didn't take his question to heart, curled up on the sofa, and watched the variety show while snacking.

He would be amused from time to time. Xu Wenci would turn his head and, if he saw that Xu Wenci wasn't laughing, he would mischievously tug at the blanket they were sharing, pulling it towards himself and domineeringly tilting his head up at Xu Wenci.

A hint of a smile flickered in Fu Yanli's eyes. That was exactly what Xu Wenci had said, and it was indeed true.

Xu Wenci had countless opportunities to kill him.

But Xu Wenci did not.

Not even once.

He only talks about it and thinks about it, but Xu Wenci will never actually do it.

"Uncle, could you fold me a little bunny?"

The child held a piece of paper, looking timidly at Fu Yanli, seemingly embarrassed to ask Fu Yanli for help.

Fu Yanli immediately smiled, forcing himself to pull himself out of his memories, and bent down to pat the child's head: "Uncle doesn't know how, but Uncle Xu folds them very beautifully. Why don't you let Uncle Xu fold one for you?"

"Okay, thank you, Uncle." The child skipped and hopped off to find Xu Wenci.

Xu Wenci bent down to listen to the child's request, and before he had even finished listening, his eyes crinkled with laughter. "Of course, Uncle can fold them."

Fu Yanli was completely unaware of this and was still chatting with the people around him about business matters.

Unbeknownst to him, he moved closer and closer to Xu Wenci, now more than a meter away.

It's over a meter.

He folded it carefully, chatting with the child as he did so: "How did you know Uncle could fold it?"

He glanced to the side and saw that Fu Yanli was more than a meter away from him.

However, there was no punishment.

His hand trembled as he folded the paper, and he stopped.

"Uncle Fu told me," the child replied, pointing at Fu Yanli.

Just as Xu Wenci was filled with doubt, something seemed to explode in his mind. He was somewhat disoriented and felt dizzy as the world spun around him.

He felt nauseous again.

A feeling of nausea welled up inside me.

The hand holding the origami trembled again, and the origami fell to the side of the child's legs. The child picked it up and shook Xu Wenci's arm, not understanding why.

Xu Wenci felt as if an iron rod was churning inside his stomach.

With each breath, the iron rod would be thrust into his stomach again, almost piercing a hole.

The acid reflux in my stomach and the burning pain were intertwined.

He looked down and felt that his hands were covered in thick, warm blood that he couldn't wash off.

how so?

How could this happen?

Why did it turn out like this?

Fu Yanli from the last world has returned.

Knowing he could fold origami rabbits, Fu Yanli, whom he had killed, returned.

Fu Yanli, who had tried to learn origami rabbits from him but never mastered it before his death, has returned.

The ghostly Fu Yanli is back.

He blinked, forcing himself to stay rational, and used the excuse of feeling unwell to send the child away.

He stared intently at Fu Yanli, who was still chatting and laughing, and suddenly laughed sarcastically.

That's quite a convincing act, Fu Yanli.

I've been scammed again.

Moreover, the distance between him and Fu Yanli was more than a meter.

The sudden change in punishment...

His expression changed.

Is it related to Fu Yanli?
