Back in her room, Ruan Ruan asked the question that had been bothering her all day.
"System, why do I feel so familiar with Huo Haocheng? Was that feeling of longing I felt when we talked on the phone today the original owner's?"
"No, host, it's yours. Have you forgotten? Huo Haocheng is the fiancé you chose for yourself."
"How is this possible? Where would I find myself a fiancé like this?" Upon hearing the system's reply, Ruan Ruan, who was on her deathbed, sat up in shock.
"Host, have you forgotten? On the night you applied for early graduation, didn't you dream that someone was arranging a marriage for Huo Haocheng, and then your aunt said something to you, and then you said you wanted to marry Huo Haocheng?"
"The dream you mentioned?"
"Yes, that's the dream."
"But why did I have that dream?"
"Because the Supreme God said that one's happiness is a choice one must make, and once a choice is made, there is no going back. Therefore, when the Supreme God chose you to become a transmigrator, He also decided that you would choose your own life here. So everything you are doing now is your own choice, host."
"But Ruan Ruan was only 10 years old then, and I was already 18!"
"Host, you need to understand that time here is the same as time there. Even if you live your entire life here, when you go back, you'll only have slept for one night," the system said to Ruan Ruan, shaking its head.
"Then, if I hadn't come, what would have happened to the real Ruan Ruan and Huo Haocheng?"
"In the original world, Ruan Ruan did not like Huo Haocheng. During the years Huo Haocheng served in the army, he would occasionally come back. After Ruan Ruan turned 18, she married her classmate and died in childbirth the following year."
"Huo Haocheng was also betrayed by his comrades during a mission. Although he fought desperately to complete the mission, he ultimately succumbed to his injuries."
"After Huo Haocheng's death, both Grandpa Huo and Grandma Huo passed away from grief."
Reviewing the original storyline, the system also felt sorry for Huo Haocheng. If he hadn't died, he would definitely have been a member of the Chinese special forces.
Unfortunately, fate is cruel to those with great talent.
"Ruan Ruan had a difficult childbirth? Wasn't she found by the Ruan family?" If she could be found by the Ruan family, why couldn't she?
"Host, the reason Ruan Ruan was found by the Ruan family is that you and Huo Haocheng are engaged. Huo Haocheng wanted your photo to ease his longing, which is why he went to the city to take the picture. This is the trigger. In the original story, Ruan Ruan never left the county, so the Ruan family couldn't find her."
"And now? Will Huo Haocheng's fate be changed?"
In Ruan Ruan's mind, Huo Haocheng could die in the line of duty—it was his mission as a soldier—but he couldn't die betrayed by his comrades. On the battlefield, comrades were people you could entrust your life to; how could he die so young? Ruan Ruan couldn't accept this, and she thought that the people of 22nd-century China couldn't accept it either.
"Of course, host. Since the Qian Xueyi incident didn't happen, China has already surpassed other countries in weaponry. Therefore, in subsequent battles, Chinese soldiers will have a guarantee of survival."
"Besides, host, now that you're here, many things can be changed. If things really don't work out, you can always step in."
The system had an inexplicable confidence in its host, believing that nothing here could stump it.
"Yes! I'm here. So, everyone I want to save has to live well?" Ruan Ruan nodded earnestly.
"Absolutely. The people you've saved will use their skills to lead China forward, and when you return, you'll see a completely new world." The system was already imagining what the world the Chinese people longed for would be like when Ruan Ruan returned, and just thinking about it made her very happy.
Do I see a completely new China because of myself?
Ruan Ruan entered her dream with this hope.
