Chapter 206 It’s Too Late
Su Mi looked at him and made up her mind, "Brother Mu Qing, are you okay?"
"fine."
It was obviously not good, but he still pretended to be good. He was still the same as before, "Hurry and sit down."
Gu Muqing nodded and sat down opposite her. "Qingqing, I'm quite surprised that you came back so suddenly."
I thought we would never meet again.
Su Mi glanced at the menu beside him and asked, "What would you like to drink?"
"No need, I'll just sit and talk to you for a while." He said it very tactfully, but it seemed that he really cherished the opportunity to meet her.
Su Mi lowered his head and stirred the coffee in the cup. The dark liquid was elegantly swirl, and the aroma of coffee emanated as it was stirred.
"Brother Mu Qing, you didn't explain yourself clearly last time. I came here to ask you something."
She noticed that the bell on the rope around his wrist was no longer on.
Is the mission over, or has he given up on his own initiative?
"What do you want to ask?" He glanced out the window, the bright sky making his clear pupils glow.
"What exactly is your mission?"
He looked back at her, smiled faintly and whispered, "Don't you know?"
He had said that he had a relationship with her, and that the mission required her to like him, but she felt that was wrong.
"Brother Mu Qing, I think you should have known my mission at that time."
"Your mission is not difficult to guess." He looked at her and responded calmly, his eyes extremely calm, without a trace of fluctuation. It was obvious that he had already known it.
Su Mi understood what he meant. He guessed it, but it was not told to him by the system.
"Then you know that the tasks issued by the system will not conflict. My task is to be with Xiao Xuanjin, so yours cannot be something that must happen with me. This is obviously contradictory."
Gu Muqing's eyes flickered as he heard this, and he chuckled softly, "Qingqing, your mission doesn't have to be with Xiao Xuanjin, does it?"
Her system didn't say that she had to be with Xiao Xuanjin in the end, but what happened was clearly leading her towards Xiao Xuanjin.
"Even if it's not a mission, I will walk with him."
Otherwise, there wouldn't be a situation where the parents of two families would be willing to marry each other because of their family background. Regardless of whether there was a past or not, they would still be together.
Because Xiao Xuanjin said that without the past and without her appearance, he would also agree to the family's arrangement.
Gu Muqing didn't know if he had heard this, but he talked about something else, "Qingqing, my system told me that I can modify your memory so that you will stay by my side."
What? Modifying memories? How despicable! Su Mi was both surprised and shocked. What was the point of the strategy then?
This behavior is too extreme. Her system has never thought of doing this. The gap between systems is still quite large.
Realizing that since Gu Mucheng had told her, he probably wouldn't do that.
"Then...why didn't you do that?"
He seemed to have thought of something and chuckled, "You must be curious why my system is willing to help me so much."
Yes, if the purpose is really to conquer her, with such help, it would be easy to achieve the goal. In other words, anyone can complete the task.
"Because it doesn't really want to help me, it just knows that I won't succeed."
At this point, he scoffed, "So, whether I do that or not is actually meaningless."
Based on his words, Su Mi deduced, "So, you mean, the system knows that your mission will fail?"
"As much as I hate to admit it, I have to say that I can't shake your feelings for him."
Now that it came to this, Su Mi recalled his previous inference, "But in fact, your mission shouldn't be to break us up."
"That's right, my mission..." Gu Muqing paused before saying, "Perhaps, from the moment I chose you, my mission was doomed to fail."
He brought this upon himself.
The system asked him to choose a person as the target of his pursuit, and the mission would be completed if the other person fell in love with him.
He had selfish motives, so he chose her.
In the end, he chose the most difficult one. At first, he didn't want to stop her mission and even helped her to complete it. But in the end, he had lost the initiative and had no chance.
Thinking about it again, according to what she said, perhaps, her fate was destined to be tied to Xiao Xuanjin, and he had no chance to intervene at all, even if he used every means.
Su Mi grasped the word in his words, choose... So, in fact, he was the one who chose her...
"Brother Mu Qing, can you choose again?"
"The mission has begun. There's no turning back. Qingqing, don't worry about me. I will bear the consequences."
He had a pale and weak smile on his face, as if he was extremely tired.
Su Mi didn't want to give up and wanted to help him, "How long is your mission going to last?"
"Maybe in the next two days." He could already sense that the Gu Group was about to collapse, and this was also the system's punishment for him.
Then he will lose everything.
"Did you think about the purpose of the mission I told you last time? Maybe that was the only way."
She wouldn't like him, but she could help him find loopholes and fight the system.
"Qingqing, it's useless. It's too late. But thank you for helping me."
Su Mi wanted to say something else, but he raised his hand to stop her, "Qingqing, forget it, let's talk about something else."
"say what?"
"If nothing unexpected happens, this will probably be the last time we meet."
Su Mi thought about his last desire to die, plus the current situation of his family, and then thought about the punishment of the system.
"Whatever you said, it's all fine. We still have plenty of time. How can we not meet?"
"But I don't have much time."
Gu Muqing spoke slowly, "Qingqing, I haven't officially confessed my feelings to you yet. Actually... I've liked you for a long time."
He lowered his eyes, "Now... you and him... are doing well. I wish you all the best. Don't remember me anymore in the future. Forget all the memories of me."
After he finished speaking, he stood up and looked down at her, his eyes filled with worry, reluctance, and longing, "Qingqing, take good care of yourself in the future."
After saying that, he turned and was about to leave.
Su Mi wanted to call him, but he turned around and gave her a relieved smile, and left a sentence, "Don't be sad for me, actually... I have seen this result many times."
After saying that, he strode away, his back looking lonely.
Su Mi froze in place, his mind trembling. What did that mean...
Seen it many times... How could he have seen it many times?
Could it be that he had already experienced mission failure and was now just repeating the same mistake again?
