Chapter 206 It’s Too Late

Su Mi looked at him and came up with a plan in mind, "Brother Mu Qing, are you okay?"

"fine."

It was obviously not good, but he still tried to pretend to be good. He was still the same as before, "Hurry up 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 see each other again.

Su Mi glanced at the menu in his hand 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 he seemed to cherish the opportunity to meet her.

Su Mi lowered his head and stirred the coffee in the cup. The dark liquid was gracefully moved and swirled, and the aroma of the coffee also emanated as it was stirred.

"Brother Mu Qing, you didn't make yourself clear last time. I came here just to ask you."

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 made his clear pupils glow with light.

"What exactly is your mission?"

He turned around to look at her, smiled and whispered, "Don't you know?"

He did say that he had a relationship with her and that the mission required her to like him, but she felt that was not right.

"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 were 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 requires you to have something with me. This is obviously contradictory."

Gu Muqing listened, his eyes flickered slightly, and he chuckled, "Qingqing, your mission doesn't have to be with Xiao Xuanjin."

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 two parents 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, without her appearance, he would also agree to the arrangement of his family.

Gu Muqing didn't know if he had heard this or not. He said 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 surprised and shocked. What was the point of the strategy in this case?

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 like this."

Yes, if you really want to conquer her, with this kind of help, it wouldn't be easy to achieve your goal. In this case, anyone can complete the task.

"Because it doesn't really want to help me, it just knows that I won't succeed at all."

At this point, he sneered, "So, it doesn't really matter whether I do that or not."

Based on his words, Su Mi speculated, "So, you mean that 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 the relationship between you and him."

Now that things have come to this, Su Mi recalled his previous inference, "But in fact, your mission should not be to break us up."

"Yes, 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 lets him choose a person as his target, and the mission is completed if the person falls in love with him.

He had selfish motives, so he chose her.

In the end, she chose the most difficult one. At first, he didn't want to hinder her mission. He even helped her to complete the task. But later, 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 of intervening, even if he used every means possible.

Su Mi caught the word in his words, choice... So, he actually took the initiative to choose her...

"Brother Mu Qing, can you make a new choice?"

"The mission has already begun. There is no turning back. My dear, don't worry about me. I will bear the consequences that I should bear."

There was 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 will your mission last?"

"Maybe in just these two days." He could already sense that the Gu family would be overthrown soon, and this was also the system's punishment for him.

Then he will lose everything.

"You've thought about the purpose of the mission I told you last time. Maybe that's 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 anyway."

Su Mi wanted to say something else, but he raised his hand to stop her, "Qingqing, forget it, let's talk about something else."

"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 in his family, and then thought about the system's punishment.

"What are you talking about? It's all fine. We still have a lot of time. How come we can't meet each other?"

"But I don't have much time."

Gu Muqing spoke slowly, "Qingqing, I haven't officially confessed to you yet. Actually... I have 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 your memories of me."

After saying that, he stood up and looked down at her, with concern, reluctance, and longing in his eyes, "Qingqing, take good care of yourself in the future."

After saying this, he turned around and was about to leave.

Su Mi wanted to call him, but he turned around and gave her a relieved smile, saying, "Don't feel sad for me. Actually... I've seen this result many times."

After saying this, he strode away, his back looking lonely.

Su Mi froze in place, his mind trembling. What did this 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 simply repeating the same mistake again?
