Chapter 25 The Ending Has Already Been Written

What did you dream about?

Yin Jiu wondered if he had pushed the person too hard yesterday, which caused the person to sob in his sleep.

He hugged the man a little tighter and patted him on the back to comfort him.

When the others calmed down, Yin Jiu also closed his eyes.

It's just past four o'clock now. The direct flight takes more than four hours and will not land until after eight o'clock.

However, Yin Jiu did not fall asleep. Just when he felt sleepy, the system came back.

The system glanced at them, quite interested: "Did I disturb your rest?"

"No, it doesn't matter whether I sleep or not." Yin Jiu communicated with it in his mind, "Why did you come back so soon?"

The system didn't want to talk about what happened in Li Hsinchu, so it changed the subject and said, "I'm not just bored, I came back to chat with you."

In the small world, the system only has Yin Jiu as the person with whom it can communicate.

It said so, and Yin Jiu did not ask any more questions. He just asked a few words of concern and confirmed that although its energy had not yet fully recovered, it did not affect its operation.

Looking down at the person in his arms, Yin Jiu hesitated for a moment, and finally asked the question in his heart: "028, remember I asked you before, you are always very silent when Ning Changyue is around, as if you are deliberately avoiding topics related to him, can you tell me why?"

The system laughed dryly: "Really? You think too much, it's not true."

"Don't you want to tell me? Actually, I can understand why you're hiding it. Maybe he has a very important plot, and you're afraid that telling me will affect the development of the plot. But the current development of the plot has nothing to do with the original text, right? So there's no spoiler, and it won't ruin the plot."

Yin Jiu didn't ask these questions out of curiosity. He just felt that the system's evasive attitude showed that the story of Ning Changyue was quite important. If it was a good one, then it was fine. But if it was a bad ending, Yin Jiu certainly hoped to avoid it.

The system thought about it and felt that he was right. The development of the small world now has nothing to do with the original novel, so there is no such thing as spoilers, let alone spoiling the plot.

After thinking about it for a while, the system said, "What you said makes sense. Let me tell you. In fact, in the original novel, Ning Changyue is a villain who drives the protagonist's emotions in the middle and late stages."

Yin Jiu had already guessed what it said, so it was not surprising.

He said, "What exactly did he do?"

Since he had already spoken, the system did not want to hide it and said, "Let me tell you from the beginning. In the beginning, Ning Changyue was just a background board that provided resources. After Li Xinzhu was reborn, he hired Ning Changyue as his assistant. In the novel, Ning Changyue was the type who would repay tenfold for the little kindness others gave him. So when Li Xinzhu was short of money, he gave all his savings to Li Xinzhu."

"Since it was a gift of resources, the savings must be considerable. This was the inheritance left by his father, as well as the support his mother had given him over the years. With this money, Li Hsin-chu recorded his own albums, participated in talent shows, and became an instant success as an original singer."

"After becoming famous, Li Hsin-chu was very grateful and doubled the compensation for Ning Changyue. He also allowed her to be his assistant and paid her a high salary. Ning Changyue did not let him down and always worked hard."

After saying so much in one breath, the system paused to give Yin Jiu time to absorb the information. After a while, when Yin Jiu gave it an urging look, it continued, "But later, problems arose in Li Xinzhu's career. Either he was exposed for scandals or he made mistakes at work. And Yin Jiu... I'm not talking about you, I'll still call him the protagonist, to avoid making a mistake."

"Li Xinzhu's work was not going well, and his relationship with the protagonist was also in trouble, resulting in various misunderstandings. After investigation, Li Xinzhu discovered that the person behind the scenes was actually his most trusted cousin. As for the reason..."

It hesitated before saying, "Ning Changyue suffers from paranoia. He fell in love with the protagonist and believed that they should be a couple."

This sounded quite absurd, and Yin Jiu frowned instinctively. He felt unhappy, but he tried not to think too much. He asked, "Go on, what's next?"

The system said: "Seeing that the truth had been revealed, Ning Changyue took the initiative. He invited the protagonist out in the name of Li Xinzhu and drugged him."

Even though he knew that it was just the original text of the novel and it didn't really happen, nor was it the Ning Changyue in his heart, but when he heard such a plot, Yin Jiu still felt his blood rushing to his head for a moment.

But fortunately, the plot did not develop as Yin Jiu worried.

The system continued to tell the story: "Ning Changyue rented a boat and took the unconscious protagonist out to sea. In his opinion, since they couldn't get it, they would die together. Maybe in this way, they could get back on track in the next life."

"But after the two fell into the sea, before he suffocated, he finally couldn't bear to let the protagonist die with him, so he untied the protagonist's rope and let him escape."

"In the end, he died alone in the deep sea."

The system concluded: "Although he is a villain, he is also a very tragic character. When he died, the author wrote a paragraph that was quite sad."

Then it read out the words.

[Until his death, he finally remembered everything. He was not delusional, nor was he crazy. Those dreams were supposed to be his future.

It was really just an ordinary day. He just suddenly wanted to eat noodles and asked Yin Jiu to go out and buy some for him. Why did he never come back?

This shouldn't have been the case. That person was supposed to be his lover, but he lost her in such a ridiculous way. Sometimes fate can be really cruel.

After listening to the original text it read, Yin Jiu had no reaction.

The system was excited and shared his guess with Yin Jiu: "Although the novel says that Ning Changyue has delusions, which is why he fantasizes that his cousin's lover is his own lover, but after reading the original text carefully dozens of times, I think that Ning Changyue may not have delusions. He just reborn, but not thoroughly enough."

Yin Jiu said: "What did you say?"

"I'm not making this up. There are clues. Before Li Xinzhu was reborn, he met the protagonist. The protagonist treated him to a bowl of noodles. The two chatted for a while. During that time, the protagonist called. Li Xinzhu even deliberately asked him if it was his wife who urged him to go home, but the protagonist said it was not his wife, but someone at home. Then when he left, he packed a bowl of noodles."

"Look, this part matches the latter part. Ning Changyue asked him to go out to buy noodles. The two parts form a closed loop."

"Also, before Ning Changyue jumped into the sea, he had a conversation with the protagonist. He asked the protagonist——"

"Do you believe that people have past lives and present lives? If I say that you were supposed to be my lover, would you believe it?"

Do you believe that people have past lives and present lives?

Haha...do you believe it?

Yin Jiu heard a tinnitus, a sharp sound that made his head ache.

The hanging boulder finally fell down, and he wanted to say, Yin Jiuyu, why do you want to get to the bottom of this? Isn't it better to be a little confused?

Should have known it earlier. Should have known it earlier.

Yin Jiuyu, you should have known that you don't deserve it.

Haha...why does the system need to wake up?

"Host?" The system sensed something was wrong belatedly. It was bound to Yin Jiu, so it could monitor the host's emotional changes.

It didn't know what it had said wrong, and why it detected that the host's emotions were fluctuating violently at the moment.

Yin Jiu said calmly, "So you think that in the world before Li Xinzhu was reborn, Yin Jiu and Ning Changyue were lovers, right?"

Although I still felt something was wrong, the system was distracted by this and confirmed: "I think it is like this. As you said, the perspective of the novel only shows a part of the world. Li Xinzhu thinks that the protagonist has been waiting for him all his life, but that is just what he thinks."

"So, this is why you have been avoiding Ning Changyue in front of me. Not only are you worried about ruining the plot, you are also afraid... afraid that I will fall in love with him." As he said this, Yin Jiu's face had no expression and his tone was flat.

The system was not uncomfortable when its thoughts were exposed, and said openly: "There is this factor, but it should be your fate, right? After all the twists and turns, you still like him. This is probably a fate that even rebirth cannot fight against?"

The system thinks this seems quite romantic.

The tone of its voice was quite excited, and it was easy to hear that it thought this was something worth admiring.

However, it seemed to have forgotten that Yin Jiu was not the original owner.

After all, a system is just a system, a mechanical life, so it cannot really understand people's hearts.

At this moment, Yin Jiu had an urge to laugh.

Isn't it funny?

He is a rebellious person who is unwilling to be bound by the plot and risks his life to go against the world's consciousness.

He thought he had won the gamble, he thought all his choices were from his heart, but the system cruelly told him: you are still just a puppet of fate.

It turned out that his ending had already been written in the fate book long ago when he replaced the original owner.

Living again is not a gift from fate, but a punishment from fate.

He sneered at Li Hsin-chu at first, but who else was spared by fate?

Ning Changyue...

Ha ha……

Hahaha……

"028, what exactly does green emotion mean?"

"Green?" The system checked the database and said, "This means that the other party regards you as their life. In fact, Ning Changyue's feelings for you are also partly green. But don't worry, in terms of the emotional level, green is even higher than pink, so it will not affect the settlement of the task."

Yin Jiu closed his eyes and said calmly: "I'm a little tired, let's talk next time."

"Ah, then you should have a good rest."

The system quieted down, but it was inexplicably a little uneasy. It was really strange. Why was it impossible to read what the host was thinking?

It's like... I've lost my emotions.

After that, Yin Jiu never closed his eyes again.

After Ning Changyue woke up, she looked up at the face that was so close to her, leaned over and kissed it.

Ever since he took the initiative to kiss Yin Jiu yesterday, he suddenly realized the charm of human kissing.

Now whenever he sees Yin Jiu, he wants to kiss him.

Because he really, really likes him.

He stole kiss after kiss, but it was never enough.

The person he kissed had no reaction.

This should have been a wonderful experience.

But when the kiss came, Yin Jiu only felt...

It hurts...

It really hurts...
