Chapter 96 I like you

As the best supervisory system of the Spacetime Bureau, it is not difficult for L1 to modify the plot of the small world.

When modifying the plot of Ye Fan in the S20070501 world, L1 did not interfere much. He did not change the main plot of the protagonist, but only separated Ye Fan's life from the protagonist's life.

In the original plot of the small world, Ye Fan and the protagonist's life are two wavy intersecting lines.

Before high school, Ye Fan and the protagonist had no intersection, and during the three years of high school, Ye Fan and the protagonist did not have much intersection.

Their relationship is not even friends, but only alumni.

So L1 simply modified the plot that Ye Fan and the protagonist were admitted to the same school, so that Ye Fan was admitted to the key high school in the neighboring province with the first score in the city from junior high school to high school.

With this revision, Ye Fan's entire high school career will no longer intersect with the protagonist, and the two intersecting plot lines also become parallel lines at this moment.

After that, L1 wrote a set of "lying down to win program" for the protagonist Cheng Fei before the college entrance examination results were released.

In the original plot, because Ye Fan died unexpectedly before the college entrance examination, Cheng Fei "lying down" became the provincial champion.

After L1's modification, the plot became that the original provincial champion before the college entrance examination could not adapt to the atmosphere of the college entrance examination room and gave up the exam, so Cheng Fei still "lying down" and became the provincial champion according to the development of the plot.

As for the student who gave up the exam -

naturally it was L1.

The plot line of the S20070501 world is not complicated, and there is only one protagonist, so L1 did not spend much time to successfully modify the ending of this small world.

The protagonist Cheng Fei won the life without any effort and reached the peak of his life. The small world also ushered in the end of the plot.

Finally, L1 went to see Ye Fan again.

At this time, Ye Fan had graduated from graduate school. He had a girlfriend, who was a very happy and beautiful girl.

On the campus road at dusk, the girl held Ye Fan's hand and shook: "Raise it! I really like cats, and I don't want to go to the pet store to buy one. The stray cat is Xiao Huang's child. We are so familiar with Xiao Huang. It will definitely not be angry with us if we take its son back!"

"And raising a cat is not troublesome. If you don't want to shovel poop, then leave it to me, okay!"

The girl pulled Ye Fan's arm while acting coquettishly and refused to let go.

Ye Fan stood there for a long time before revealing a helpless smile.

Then, Ye Fan nodded and said, "Okay, let's take it back."

"Great!"

L1 could hear the girl's happy laughter from a distance.

The corners of L1's mouth almost uncontrollably curved upwards.

Then, he exited the S20070501 world. This time, without any hesitation, L1 clicked OK on the system panel.

For the first time, no points of reward popped up on L1's system panel.

The system panel prompted: "Deduct 500 system points from L1."

L1 didn't care. The next second, he restarted the timeline of the A20231007 world.

But unlike the S20070501 world, the A20231007 world is a world where multiple plot lines are blended together, so it takes a lot of time and energy to modify the plot line of this world.

So this time L1 did not enter the small world, but monitored the direction of each plot line at any time from the perspective of the monitoring system, and made timely modifications and pre-adjustments.

After entering this world, L1 did not stop for a moment.

Huo Yan ended up quitting the circle and being scolded by everyone because he liked Su Rui and trusted Su Rui too much, so he was framed by Su Rui and He Shi.

So L1 directly modified the fact that Huo Yan liked Su Rui. The

reason why Huo Ze's team was facing disbandment was because there were too many unstable factors in his team.

So L1 simply kept all these people outside and did not let these players join Huo Ze's team.

The quarrel and divorce between Huo's father and mother were naturally related to Huo's cousin who had not been in contact for many years.

This matter is particularly easy to handle. Since their relationship broke down because of the cousin's return to China, wouldn't it be better not to let the cousin come back?

As for Huo Jing's batch of goods, it was even simpler.

L1 is a regulatory system, he naturally knows which route is the safest, so he secretly changed the route that the captain had set long ago.

Qin Yao's side is not difficult either.

As long as the black material of Yu Bai and those variety show guests is released in advance, things can have a perfect ending.

After doing all this, L1 was slightly relieved.

At this time, there was still a month away from the end of Qin Yao's plot.

After two years, L1 came to Qin Yao's balcony again.

The familiar chair and coffee table in memory were gone. The balcony was now filled with flower pots, and roses were in full bloom. Even from a distance, L1 could smell the rich fragrance of flowers.

L1 stood on the balcony, looked left and right, poked the flower buds with his hand, and chased away the bees flying around him. Then he turned hesitantly to look at the room behind him.

Qin Yao was not at home at this time, and the French window was not locked. L1 could go in by pushing the window open.

After a fierce ideological struggle, L1 finally did not push open the French window.

He was a polite system. Although he was already very familiar with Qin Yao, that was also a matter of the previous timeline.

In this newly opened time, Qin Yao didn't even recognize himself.

L1 stood outside and watched quietly for a long time, until it got dark and the sound of car horns came from downstairs, then L1 disappeared.

L1 didn't leave.

He hadn't seen Qin Yao for a long time, and L1 wanted to see him.

The sound of the doorknob turning rang out, and the next moment, the whole room lit up.

L1's eyes first fell on Qin Yao's face.

At this time, his brows were slightly frowned, holding the mobile phone in one hand and unbuttoning his suit jacket with the other.

Qin Yao is well-educated, and his movements look particularly pleasing to the eye, whether he is making oatmeal milk or taking off clothes.

L1's eyes kept wandering over Qin Yao. He watched Qin Yao walk all the way into the bedroom and then stand in front of the cloakroom.

After saying a few more words to the other side, Qin Yao hung up the phone.

Qin Yao opened the door of the cloakroom and took out a pair of pajamas.

L1 blinked.

Was Qin Yao going to change his clothes?

Before L1 could react, L1 saw Qin Yao's slender and beautiful fingers fall on the buttons under his Adam's apple, and his fair fingers unbuttoned one button after another.

As the buttons were constantly unbuttoned, L1 finally moved his eyes away slightly.

Don't look at anything inappropriate!

He is a very, very polite and good system, he can't look at him carelessly!

So L1 simply turned around, squatted under the blooming flowers on the balcony, and reached out to poke the rose buds.

All the roses on Qin Yao's balcony were taken care of by him personally.

In the last timeline, L1 was very interested in flowers, so in the season when roses were in full bloom, Qin Yao would come out every morning to cut a rose and put it in the vase.

So, it has been a long time since L1 received the roses planted by Qin Yao.

L1 looked back cautiously, and made sure that Qin Yao was not out, then he reached out and carefully picked a flower.

He only picked one.

Just one.

Qin Yao shouldn't be angry, right?

L1 picked a blooming Luoshen.

The pink and white flowers were bigger than a fist after blooming. L1 went over to smell it, and his nose was instantly filled with the rich fragrance of flowers.

L1's mouth curled up, and his mood suddenly relaxed, but he also felt a little inexplicably guilty, so he flew away without waiting for Qin Yao to come out of the room.

L1 cherished the Luoshen flower that he had secretly plucked and put it into his own system space.

What L1 didn't know was that almost as soon as he left, the door of the French window was pushed open by Qin Yao from the inside.

The young man stood in front of the roses he planted, staring at the bare branches for a long time.

...

L1's second destination was the Huo family.

Because L1 modified the plot, in this timeline, Huo Yan did not fall in love with Su Rui, Huo Ze's team ran smoothly, and the relationship between Huo's father and Huo's mother was naturally as loving as before.

L1 still hid himself. He didn't get too close. He just stood in the familiar backyard of the Huo family and watched the happy family reunion in the house.

L1 thought: This is good.

As long as the Huo family and Qin Yao are doing well, he will be at ease.

In the next month, L1 ran back and forth every day.

In the morning, he went to see Qin Yao first, and when Qin Yao went out, he went to the Huo family to see Huo's mother. Occasionally, he would go to the Huo family's company to see Huo's father Huo Jing. If he had more time, he would fly to the crew and the team to see Huo Yan and Huo Ze.

But sometimes this order would be disrupted.

For example, Qin Yao did not come home all night last night, so L1 did not come to see Qin Yao in the morning, but went to accompany Huo's mother first.

In the evening, when Qin Yao was about to come home, L1 came to Qin Yao's balcony again.

L1 found that many flowers on Qin Yao's balcony had withered today.

The rose flowering period is only about one week to half a month. When this batch of buds bloom, the next batch of buds will be in bud again.

L1 remembered that Qin Yao was very good at taking care of roses, and he generally would not leave withered flowers on the branches.

It was probably because I didn't go home yesterday, so these dead flowers were left on the branches to absorb nutrients.

So L1 thought about it for a while, picked up the gardening shears next to him, and carefully cut off the dead flowers on the branches.

But when he was halfway through cutting, L1 heard the sound of a car downstairs. He quickly put the scissors aside and then disappeared again.

Not long after, Qin Yao's door opened, and the balcony was facing the door. L1 saw Qin Yao at a glance.

According to Qin Yao's usual habit, he would definitely change his clothes first, but today he changed his usual habit and went directly to the balcony.

L1 blinked, followed Qin Yao's line of sight, and saw the dead flowers on the balcony floor that had not been cleaned up.

L1: "..."

Oops.

He forgot to clean up the dead flowers!

L1 hurried to see Qin Yao.

L1 now understood human emotions more and more, and he thought he would see confusion, shock, or anger on Qin Yao's face.

But to L1's surprise, he didn't see any of these emotions.

Qin Yao smiled.

He looked at the pile of roses that were cut and fell to the ground and smiled.

L1 didn't know what Qin Yao was laughing at.

He didn't even know why Qin Yao was laughing.

Could it be that he was angry with him?

L1 was very uneasy and a little guilty, so he flew away directly.

The next day, Qin Yao had already returned home from work, and L1 didn't dare to go to Qin Yao's balcony again.

L1 couldn't help but think, Qin Yao should not be angry, right?

He just secretly picked a flower and then cut off the withered flowers. He should not have done anything wrong...

L1 didn't know.

He flew around the Qin family villa twice before secretly coming to Qin Yao's balcony in the middle of the night.

Qin Yao had fallen asleep, but to L1's surprise, the floor-to-ceiling windows on the balcony were not closed.

L1 hesitated for a long time, but still did not go in. He turned around to look at the roses.

All the withered roses had been cut off by Qin Yao, and now there were only a dozen newly bloomed roses left on the branches.

L1 couldn't help but curled the corners of his lips. Just as he was about to leave, he turned his eyes and suddenly saw a white note. L1

picked it up, and there was a sentence written on it: If you like it, you can pick a few more next time.

L1's pupils suddenly widened.

Qin Yao not only found out that he had helped him trim the flowers, but also found out that he had secretly picked his roses?

When did he find out?

L1's face suddenly felt a little hot.

He threw the note away like a hot potato.

For the next few days, L1 did not go to Qin Yao's balcony again.

It was not that L1 did not want to go, but that he did not have time to go, because L1 suddenly found that the plot of this small world had collapsed.

First, Su Rui went to the hospital for an abortion, and then He Shi had a new love.

Then, Huo's cousin, who had not been in contact for a long time, passed away, and then Huo Jing's assistant suddenly resigned and disappeared. What surprised L1 even more was Huo Ze. His team had just been formed for one season, and suddenly announced its disbandment.

L1 was so busy every day that he was confused.

Why did the plot suddenly start to fall apart?

The protagonist and the supporting characters who were supposed to be together forever broke up, and the supporting characters who were not supposed to die also died.

L1 suddenly felt a little afraid to let the plot continue.

So he paused time in time.

After leaving the small world, L1 went to find Qiu and told her about the situation.

L2 was also here with Qiu. After listening to L1's story, Qiu hadn't spoken yet, but L2 spoke first. He asked in disbelief: "You changed the plot so simply and crudely?"

L1 was puzzled: "So there was a problem with my modification?"

"Of course there is a problem! A big problem!" L2 shouted, "Indeed, each plot line you modified is indeed fine when you pull it out separately, but have you ever thought that the plot lines of the A20231007 world will intersect!"

L1 frowned and explained: "I have considered this point."

Each plot line needs to reasonably lead to the ending, so the plot of each link is indispensable.

For example, L1 modified the plot that Huo Yan likes Su Rui, so L1 must design another character in this plot for Huo Yan to like.

But in L1's view, Huo Yan is a living person, and his life should not be arranged by himself, so L1 modified the plot to Huo Yan would meet his favorite cat in his life on this day.

So the Huo family had an extra stray cat.

L1 carefully told Qiu and L2 all his modifications.

Qiu and L2 sighed at the same time after listening.

L2 shouted: "How did you rank first! I think I should be the first in the Space-Time Administration!"

Qiu smiled and glanced at L2: "L1 has not modified the plot, this is normal."

L2 hummed twice and said nothing.

Qiu asked a question: "L1, what do you think they are?"

Qiu then drew a line, and the whole family of the Huo family and Qin Yao appeared in this world.

Countless pictures passed by, and finally stopped on their smiling faces.

L1 stared at their smiles for a long time before looking back at Qiu: "Why do you ask me this question?"

"If you think they are a string of data, then their data life can indeed be modified at will, but what if they are human beings with cells, thoughts, and wisdom?" Qiu asked.

An indescribable feeling suddenly rose, and L1's brows wrinkled again.

"If they are intelligent humans, their lives should not be controlled by anyone, let alone modified by me at will. But if I don't modify the plot..."

"I know," Qiu said with a smile, her voice gentle and a hint of soothing, "so you can't use this method, you need to let them make reasonable changes themselves."

Qiu did not give L1 specific suggestions, but L1 soon figured it out.

The plot line that the system can see is actually the life of human beings.

Some human lives are predetermined routes that have been written long ago, but the lives of more people are still full of uncertainty.

Therefore, if they want to change their lives, L1 cannot just intervene blindly. These people whose lives are changed must also make their own choices.

After briefly sorting out his thoughts, L1 restarted the timeline for the second time.

This time he did not monitor all the plot lines from a surveillance perspective. He chose to become a boarding system. He divided his data into six parts, which became the systems of the Huo family and Qin Yao.

Before each important event, L1 would take the initiative to remind them.

In the second time restart perspective, with the help of L1, the Huo family saw the true appearance of the people around them, and they all avoided their original tragic ending, except Qin Yao.

L1 had clearly calculated the time when the truck would hit him, even down to the second, but the truck still crashed into Qin Yao out of control.

L1 had never felt so helpless before. It was raining heavily, and he sat paralyzed on the ground holding Qin Yao, who was covered in blood.

The warmth in his arms was fading drop by drop, and L1 found that he was shaking all over.

"Qin, Qin Yao... You can't sleep, Qin Yao!" L1 shouted Qin Yao's name loudly.

Raindrops hit Qin Yao's face, and he opened his eyes with difficulty. Looking at the young man in front of him who was holding him, Qin Yao suddenly smiled.

L1 suddenly remembered that in the first restarted timeline, Qin Yao also smiled like this while looking at the pile of dead flowers he had cut.

It was clear that the system had no heart, but he still felt his heart tremble violently.

L1's voice was shaking: "Qin Yao..."

"This, cough cough..." Qin Yao coughed up a mouthful of blood, his mouth corners still raised high, "It's been so long, I seem... I still don't know your name..."

"Don't talk..." L1 was panicking, "I already..."

He wanted to say that he had already redeemed the life potion in the points mall, but he couldn't give it to Qin Yao at all.

Every time he clicked to use it, a cold prompt sound would pop up, prompting that the object was wrong.

How could the object be wrong?

L1 just wanted to save Qin Yao, why couldn't he save Qin Yao?

"L1, you... what's your name?" Qin Yao was still asking.

His bloodless lips were stained red again, stinging L1's eyes red.

Under the dense rain, L1 heard his own voice choking: "Le Yao, Qin Yao, my name is Le Yao..."

The smile on Qin Yao's mouth became bigger and bigger. He suddenly raised his hand, and his cold fingertips brushed the corners of L1's eyes. Qin Yao's voice lost its vitality: "Don't cry...Le Yao, your name is very nice..."

The last warmth of the fingertips completely disappeared, and his powerless arms drooped, indicating the end of life.

Qin Yao died in L1's arms.

What went wrong?

In the following days, L1 thought about this question over and over again.

The whole family of the Huo family lived a good life, and even many supporting roles did not have a bad ending.

But why did Qin Yao still die?

L1 didn't understand.

For the next two years, he has been looking for answers in the world of A20231007.

Once on the way away from Qin Yao's cemetery, L1 heard Bai Yu's cry.

No, maybe it can't be described as heard, it should be that L1 captured the fluctuation of Bai Yu's system.

The meaning of this fluctuation is that the support system has encountered a crisis and urgently needs the help of the supervision system.

The support system is a lower-level system than the supervision system.

Their task is to host the host and help the host complete the task.

But most of the tasks of the support system are not difficult, why would they suddenly ask for help from him?

L1 did not hesitate, he rushed to where Bai Yu was.

Before he even showed up, he heard Bai Yu's collapsed cry: "Please, monitoring system, please save him, I beg you to help me save him..."

L1 looked over and found the dying man in his arms, who was Bai Yu's mission target.

"What happened to him?" L1 asked.

Bai Yu quickly said: "I made a mistake, I miscalculated the timing of the crisis, so-"

"You... why do you look so ugly?" Before Bai Yu finished speaking, he found that the face of the monitoring system in front of him became extremely ugly, like a dark cloud pressing down on the city, making it difficult for his system to operate.

Bai Yu explained in a low voice: "I know I made a serious mistake, but it was my mistake that caused the host's life problem, so I beg you..."

Before he could finish his words, Bai Yu suddenly found that there were 500 more bottles of life potions in his system space.

Bai Yu was stunned: "You..."

"For you, give it to him." L1 said.

Bai Yu cried with joy: "Thank you! How can I repay you..."

L1 said: "I don't need your help in any way."

After leaving this sentence, L1 left.

The plot line of this world is about to come to an end again, so L1 needs to suspend the plot line immediately.

After coming out of the small world this time, L1 went to the points mall to redeem a one-month suspension extension.

During this month, he replayed all the plots after the second timeline restart day and night.

Ten minutes before the pause countdown ended, L1 finally understood that

Qin Yao was different from Ye Fan.

In the setting of the S20070501 small world, Ye Fan's death was not necessary.

But in the setting of the A20231007 small world, Qin Yao's death was necessary.

Ye Fan's death only prompted the protagonist to get an opportunity, so even if it was not Ye Fan, as long as someone could make the protagonist Cheng Fei "win" without effort, the plot could continue to develop.

So L1 gave up the college entrance examination on behalf of Ye Fan, and Cheng Fei won the provincial championship without effort.

There is nothing unreasonable about this plot line, and the Space Bureau will not judge the plot as unreasonable, and the plot of the small world can smoothly go to the end.

But Qin Yao's death is necessary, and it is a plot that the Space Bureau is concerned about and cannot make mistakes.

In other words, at this point in time, Qin Yao must die.

But why?

Just because Qin Yao's identity in this world is a villain?

So he must die?

With this question, L1 went to find Qiu.

Qiu was silent for a long time before nodding: "Yes, this is the rule of this small world."

The regulatory system can modify any plot.

But the only thing that cannot be modified is the rules.

L1 felt his whole body trembling. He looked at Qiu in disbelief: "Then I...then how can I save Qin Yao? Can't I save him?"

Qiu looked at L1, with a trace of sadness in her eyes that L1 couldn't understand. She said: "L1, give up."

L1 shook his head.

He couldn't give up.

He finally understood what love was.

He finally gained love, why should he give up?

When he repeatedly watched the second restart of the timeline in this month, L1 finally understood why he was so sad when Qin Yao died in his arms.

It turned out that he liked Qin Yao.

So L1 had no reason not to save Qin Yao.

This was his selfishness.

L2 suddenly appeared after L1 had been gone for a long time, and said something without a beginning or an end: "I didn't expect that the number one regulatory system in the Space-Time Bureau would also be selfish."

Qiu looked at him and lowered his eyes for a long time .

The third time time was restarted, L1 did not become a system again.

On a sunny afternoon, L1 appeared directly on Qin Yao's balcony.

At this time, Qin Yao was processing documents in the study. Hearing the movement on the balcony, he walked out in confusion.

L1 stood in a backlit position, picked up a pair of scissors and cut the most beautiful rose for himself.

Hearing the footsteps behind him, L1 turned around and smiled at Qin Yao: "Hello, Qin Yao."

Qin Yao stared at him blankly for a long time, and then he smiled again, which was very familiar to L1, and even his eyes were red.

Qin Yao said hoarsely: "Hello, what's your name?"

L1 looked at the rose in his hand and smiled: "Ye Leyao."

"Ye is a surname of a human being that means a lot to me, and Leyao is the name my lover gave me." Ye Leyao said.

Qin Yao looked at him with red eyes, and a tear rolled down his cheeks after a long time: "So... you have a lover."

His tone was very light, but Ye Leyao still heard a deep regret and loss from it.

Ye Leyao did not hesitate, quickened his pace and walked in front of him, and directly reached out to hug Qin Yao.

Qin Yao's body suddenly stiffened: "You..."

The first time Ye Leyao and Qin Yao hugged was on that rainy day.

Qin Yao was lying in his arms covered in blood. Ye Leyao clearly felt his body temperature slipping away bit by bit, and finally became cold and stiff.

The second hug was now.

The man's embrace was still stiff, but it was reassuringly warm.

Ye Leyao's mouth corners slowly rose, he gently rubbed Qin Yao's neck with his head, and asked: "Qin Yao, do you like me?"

Three restarts, three reunions.

He is no longer the system that knows nothing about feelings.

It's also his fault that his feelings sprouted late.

That's why he didn't understand Qin Yao's smile when he first saw him grow up, and didn't understand Qin Yao's expression when he stared at the withered flowers and smiled when he restarted for the first time. He

was even more puzzled why other people's first thought after obtaining the system was that they had encountered a ghost, but only Qin Yao smiled and said, "You finally came to see me."

Ye Leyao didn't know where and when he had seen Qin Yao, but he was sure that Qin Yao had indeed seen him.

This answer may only be revealed when Ye Leyao completely changed Qin Yao's death ending.

But it doesn't matter, what Ye Leyao lacks the least is time.

A pair of hands suddenly raised up and hugged Ye Leyao deeply.

Ye Leyao heard Qin Yao's slightly trembling voice: "I like you."

Qin Yao said solemnly: "I like you, Ye Leyao."
