Chapter 59 His Nightmare: Don't Call Me Baby

"Old Master Qiao," Su Anlan frowned, clearly impatient, "what do you want from me? Do you want me to deal with Fu Yanli?"

Grandpa Qiao pointed to the glass full of ice beside him, raised an eyebrow, and remained noncommittal.

“I am Fu Yanli’s aunt,” Su Anlan said directly, having no interest in exchanging pleasantries with Old Master Qiao. “You should also know that I don’t need to cooperate with you.”

"I remember, the child you nominally have is not only not related to you by blood, but his biological father is also Old Master Fu, right?" Old Master Qiao said, lowering his eyes, which were covered by large dark circles under his eyes, making him look even more sinister.

Su Anlan scoffed, "You might as well reveal my true identity, and I might think more highly of you."

"Xu Wenci wanted to kill Fu Yanli."

Su Anlan instinctively denied it, "Impossible."

If Xu Wenci really wanted to kill Fu Yanli, Fu Yanli would not tolerate having such a ticking time bomb by his side.

"Why don't you think about why Xu Wenci, who clearly has a script, doesn't tell Fu Yanli about its existence, nor does he warn Fu Yanli about the potential dangers he might encounter? Also, I remember you were the one who told Fu Yanli about your child's identity, right? Did Xu Wenci tell him?"

Grandpa Qiao coughed lightly twice, his fingers unconsciously reaching for his empty wrist.

He seemed certain that Su Anlan would believe Xu Wenci's intention to kill Fu Yanli.

Because that is simply the truth.

"So what?" Su Anlan frowned immediately after only two seconds of silence and retorted, "That's between the two of them..."

"Are you sure?" Old Master Qiao smiled.

Su Anlan wasn't really sure.

Su Anlan understood that her sister must have a reason for targeting Xu Wenci.

Xu Wenci might do more than just deceive Fu Yanli's feelings...

They might even... kill Fu Yanli, just like Old Master Qiao said.

But this is just speculation.

Why should she believe the speculation of such a scheming person?

His subordinate appeared, bent down and said a few words to Old Master Qiao. Old Master Qiao's face instantly turned ugly, as if he had swallowed a fly.

Su Anlan immediately burst out laughing: "Old Master Qiao, could it be that there's been some problem with the cooperation between my Su family and your Qiao family...?"

Old Master Qiao gripped his cane tightly, letting out a muffled groan, "How is this possible?"

Su Anlan smiled: "That's good. My dad said he's paying special attention to the cooperation with the Qiao family this time. After all, it's a major event that will benefit both parties."

The old man, Mr. Qiao, almost lost his smile when he was mocked.

After Su Anlan left, he grabbed the cup beside him and smashed it hard on the ground. Slightly melting ice splattered from the broken glass, mixed with tiny shards of glass, and embedded themselves in the back of the hand of the person next to him.

The man dared not speak, but simply covered his injured hand.

Old Master Qiao narrowed his eyes, "Is Su Anlan a member of the Su family?"

This didn't happen in the last world.

Indeed, many things in this world have changed.

"I'm sorry, sir," the man said, trying to steady his breathing and make his voice as calm as possible, "it has always been very difficult to find out anything about the Su family."

Unable to get a satisfactory answer, Old Master Qiao simply vented his anger, saying, "Now that I think about it, isn't it more convenient for her to do things with her current status?"

After all, as long as she keeps causing trouble, Xu Wenci will have a hard time.

Xu Wenci disagreed with cooperating with him.

Since they disagree, then let's force them to separate.

However, it seems that they are now only superficially united.

He thought it would take some time to break up Xu Wenci and Fu Yanli, but he didn't expect that their feelings for each other had already been exhausted in the previous world.

This has forced him to bring his plans forward.

"System, I still don't understand the matter of Fu Yanli's two souls..." Gu Pei bothered the system every day, retaliating against the system for not taking him back to the real world.

Gu Pei actually knew that the system did not know the answers to these questions.

But he persisted relentlessly in order to annoy this annoying thing.

[Host, this type of issue has been blocked by the system.]

The system showed no mercy, and Gu Pei continued to press for answers.

"System, do you think it's possible that Fu Yanli retained that memory before he had the script..."

[Host, the system does not answer these types of questions.]

Gu Pei was stunned by his own intelligence. He clapped his hands and suddenly realized: "For a person, the most important thing that constitutes the weight of a person's soul is memory."

[Host, this kind of talk is too extreme. Please watch your words.]

"System, do you have a way to probe Fu Yanli's memories?"

[Host, the system does not currently have this permission.]

Gu Pei scratched his head. "Is that so?"

He has to find a way to test it.

"System, take me away from here."

[Yes, host.]

Gu Pei raised an eyebrow with a chuckle.

Goodbye, Yi Lou.

No, never again.

[Host, aren't you the author? Don't you have control over the characters you create?]

Gu Pei grunted and blinked: "It's alright, I can control them, but are you sure they won't secretly get rid of me after they're under my control?"

【Host, good luck.】

[By the way, host, Fu Yanli has found Xu Wenci's mother, and the mother and son have been reunited.]

Gu Pei yawned, nodded, and shrugged indifferently, "Isn't that exactly what Fu Yanli, that love-obsessed guy, wants?"

[Host, I think your assessment of Fu Yanli is a bit too subjective.]

The light sphere analyzed the problem in a very serious manner.

[Fu Yanli initially tolerated Xu Wenci because she was his destined lover, but according to database analysis, Fu Yanli did not love Xu Wenci.]

Gu Pei yawned again, not paying attention to what was being said, and occasionally retorted, "What do you know? If you could understand human emotions, you wouldn't have made me complete this mission."

Besides, those were characters he wrote; how could he not know their personalities?

He might not realize their level of intelligence, but he certainly understood the feelings the two protagonists had for each other.

[But, host, didn't you say the plot had completely fallen apart?]

"I only said the plot was broken, not the emotions..." Gu Pei retorted, wishing he could grab the ball of light again and squeeze it hard.

As Yi Lou listened to Fu Yanli's countless vows, he slowly turned off his phone screen, looked up, and yawned.

It seems Fu Yanli still hasn't learned his lesson.

"I, Fu Yanli, swear to God that I will never like Xu Wenci, that ingrate, again..." Fu Yanli neither drinks nor smokes. He sits melancholically on the windowsill, a chocolate bar dangling from his mouth. He takes a bite, places it between his middle finger and thumb, and skillfully flicks away non-existent ash with his thumb.

Yi Lou found it truly laughable.

Fu Yanli, who doesn't smoke at all and has basically never seriously observed people smoking, actually made the motion of flicking cigarette ash so skillfully.

“He killed me, and then he questioned me…” Fu Yanli sniffed, his voice filled with undisguised disappointment. “It was clearly his bad temper, but he still scolded me for not caring about him, for being stubborn and selfish, and for calling me a snake without any conscience.”

"He said you're a snake?" Yi Lou found it even funnier.

Fu Yanli doesn't look like a snake at all, okay?

Whose snake is as ferocious and blind as Fu Yanli's?

“Even though a bunch of comments were calling me a long-legged bullfrog, he kept mocking me,” Fu Yanli seemed drunk, yet not quite. “I got drunk and made Xu Wenci come find me… I’m drunk! I’m drunk!”

He is quite ill.

Yi Lou's review.

You didn't drink any alcohol, so how come you're so drunk you can't even tell the difference between the king and queen?

"What are you pretending for..." Yi Lou frowned.

Fu Yanli blinked his deep purple eyes, narrowed them, and a faint purple light flickered in them.

“I’ve noticed something,” Yi Lou said, narrowing his eyes uncertainly, “You’re not Fu Yanli, are you…”

What happened?

What's going on?

Find Gu Pei immediately...

Gu Pei will definitely have a solution.

Fu Yanli lowered his eyes slightly, waited two seconds, and then looked up, "You noticed?"

Yi Lou: !!!

"Who are you?"

As Yi Lou asked the question, he subtly stepped back, placed his phone behind him, and sent a message to the bodyguard outside the door.

Fu Yanli did not answer immediately, but tilted his head and looked at him with a playful expression that Yi Lou had never seen before. After a full three seconds, he suddenly chuckled.

"Hahaha, you were fooled by me, weren't you?" Fu Yanli blinked. "I really am Fu Yanli, but Gu Pei thinks I have two souls, so I acted out a little in advance."

"What, two souls?"

“It’s not two souls,” Fu Yanli explained, “it should be two different memories.”

“I have memories of the previous world,” Fu Yanli said.

In the last world, nothing went as planned.

Therefore, this world is tough enough.

“In the last world, I did many wrong things to Xu Wenci, so it’s normal for him to resent me…”

"What did you do?" Yi Lou had heard Fu Yanli say these words countless times, but he only frowned and did not interrupt him directly.

"It might have been a blood draw, which was then left in the rainy night because Bai Yueguang wronged him." Fu Yanli squinted, recalling carefully.

Is there anything else?

"There are many, too many to count."

Yi Lou: These parts of the script... they really don't treat Xu Wenci like a human being. If Fu Yanli really did these things, he deserves to be torn to pieces.

"Then, Xu Wenci killed me."

Yi Lou's smile froze instantly; he even wondered if there was something wrong with his ears.

Huh? Did I hear that right?

Listen again.

“Anyone who hears his story will understand why he wanted to kill me,” Fu Yanli sighed.

"So you're planning to put on an act and shift the blame to another soul?"

“You can understand it that way,” Fu Yanli said.

In this world, everything seems to have reached a point of no return.

He had thought that since the previous world was beyond redemption, this world could try harder so that it wouldn't reach a dead end.

However, memories last forever, and so will the hurt never disappear.

Xu Wenci will not forgive him.

Just as he would never forgive his father for his scheming against him.

Between them lies the past, hatred, and the deepest shadows hidden in each other's hearts.

Xu Wenci would not allow him to get close.

This heavy, suffocating despair seemed to have erected a cold wall between the two of them.

On the other side of the wall, the shadow it cast transformed into a vivid and bizarre nightmare, tightly binding Xu Wenci.

"No, don't come near me."

Xu Wenci buried half his face in the pillow and murmured softly.

He is not a person who talks in his sleep.

I only murmur a few words of fear when I have nightmares.

Li Suhe gently pushed open the door, her brows slightly furrowed.

Xu Wenci did not sleep soundly.

His light blue bangs covered his forehead and his eyes, but one could still vaguely see that his slightly trembling eyelashes cast shadows on the bridge of his nose, while the shadows on his chin were lost in the depths of his pajamas.

Her child... lived peacefully for many years.

It's good that you're safe.

This is already an immense stroke of luck.

With his grandmother around, he certainly won't have a bad life.

Although, it won't be very good either.

She pursed her lips.

Frowning.

But thankfully, it's not too late.

She's back, and she'll stay with her child from now on.

However, she frowned. Was Fu Yanli a trustworthy person?

She didn't want her child to be involved in the conflict, but she was also very clear that Xu Wenci liked Fu Yanli.

"Don't come near me, you jerk."

"Don't come near me."

"Don't call me baby."

Li Suhe finally understood why Xu Wenci was so resistant when she first called him "baby".

This was his nightmare.
