Chapter 28 Broken and tattered

This was a very ordinary day, seemingly no different from the past two months.

Yin Jiu was concentrating on the class, and during the break, he sent Ning Changyue several caring messages.

Although the system followed him all the time, it was very quiet and did not disturb him.

It was not until the afternoon, when Yin Jiu came out of the library and prepared to go to his first class of the afternoon, that the system popped up and said, "Host, aren't you going to eat?"

Yin Jiu was walking on the road, and when he heard this, he said casually, "I have a cold, and I don't have much appetite."

"But... you didn't eat in the morning, and only ate a little last night." The system was neither blind nor stupid. It had already made a guess. After hesitating for a moment, the system asked the question in its mind: "Host, are you..."

What? Are you angry? Are you jealous? Are you sad?

Unsure of what words to use to describe this moment, the system compromised and said, "Do you mind what I said before?"

Yin Jiu said, "No."

"Uh, I think you do mind." Trying hard to recall what I said before, the system said guiltily: "I don't think you need to care. After all, that is the original plot, and it didn't happen. Besides, host, I think the current Ning Changyue has no memory of his previous life. He is very different from the original text. He is completely two different people with different personalities."

This is also the reason why the system dares to speak out.

It explained a lot, but Yin Jiu just said calmly: "Is that so."

It's not right. This attitude is totally wrong.

The system emphasized: "I'm serious. Although Ning Changyue in the original text is also a man of few words, the original text has always said that although he is taciturn, he is also stable and reliable. The current Ning Changyue should have nothing to do with stability and reliability."

Not only does it not matter, the system even thinks that Ning Changyue is a bit stupid. Of course, there is no need to say this in front of Yin Jiu, lest he thinks that he is deliberately belittling her.

Yin Jiu said, "Yeah."

It seemed that he should continue to act as he had done in the past, pretending that everything was fine, at least on the surface, so that no one could tell anything was wrong. But at the moment, he really wasn't in the mood to put on a show.

The system said something, and he seemed to hear it with his ears, but his brain didn't seem to receive it.

"Host, you know the butterfly effect, right? The world is changing all the time. Perhaps a slight deviation will lead to earth-shaking changes, just like your existence." The system did not expect that it, which was originally most afraid of plot changes, would one day slap itself in the face and use this method of destroying the plot to comfort its host.

"Although this is a novel world, variables are everywhere, and the original text may not be 100% error-free."

Yin Jiu said, "So what do you want to say? Tell me not to care and just accept the handouts of fate?"

The system fell silent.

Yin Jiu had already arrived at the classroom. He opened the textbook and seemed to be reading seriously, but after several minutes, he did not turn the page.

He didn't move, and the system didn't speak.

It was pondering Yin Jiu's thoughts. There was no doubt that Yin Jiu was a proud man. He would not accept any form of domination or charity.

If he accepted it so easily, he would not be Yin Jiu. He once overturned the entire plot because he didn't want to be someone else's substitute and felt insulted.

I also don’t want to be influenced by the world’s consciousness and gamble my life on it.

Such a person is very decisive.

The system suddenly regretted saying those words. Before it came to do the mission, its predecessors had warned it not to reveal too much future information to the missionaries, because it was not just words, it was also the fate of many people.

It was wrong to reveal the future casually, thinking that it didn't have to follow the plot. It was complacent in sharing its own guesses.

After a long silence, the system asked: "Host, are you going to give up now?"

Yin Jiu was stunned when he heard this.

Give up? Give up what?

It was only after the system asked him this question that he realized he had this option.

Because he...from yesterday to today, he has never had this idea.

He was only distressed that Ning Changyue might not love him, and was afraid that Ning Changyue would find out that he was not the same person as before, but he never thought about not wanting him.

Yin Jiu couldn't help laughing.

It turns out that when you really fall in love with someone, you really lose all your principles.

He suddenly laughed at this moment, which made the system feel uneasy. It didn't know why he was laughing and didn't dare to ask.

After a moment, Yin Jiu said, "I won't. How could I give up on him?"

Because all along, he was the one who was abandoned, wasn't he?

The system breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good. It would be a pity if you gave up now. After all, you are just a little bit away from completing the task."

It opened the system interface, took a look, and was shocked to the point of being speechless.

It stopped making any sound, and Yin Jiu stopped talking too.

After the last class, Yin Jiu found Ning Changyue in the parking lot.

The weather is cold now, and fearing that he would be frozen, Yin Jiu always asked Lao Li to take him over, and when he arrived, he also asked him to wait in the car.

From a distance, Ning Changyue saw Yin Jiu and immediately got out of the back door of the car, but he did not move forward and waited for Yin Jiu to approach on his own initiative.

Yin Jiu walked up to him, took his hand, interlocked their fingers, and walked to the other side of the parking lot.

As they walked, he asked in a gentle voice, "Are you cold? Why don't you wear more clothes?"

Ning Changyue said: "It's not cold, are you okay?"

Yin Jiu knew that he was asking about the cold, and said, "Yeah, it's gone."

How could a cold heal so quickly, and he was still running a fever. However, Yin Jiu did not feel any discomfort throughout the whole day.

Because compared to other things, this little discomfort is really insignificant.

But Ning Changyue believed it to be true, and he relaxed visibly. He seemed to care a lot about Yin Jiu's illness.

After getting in the car, Ning Changyue leaned over and kissed Yin Jiu on the lips.

Meeting his expectant gaze, Yin Jiu pressed the back of his neck and deepened the kiss.

This shouldn't be done, it might be contagious, but I really can't bear to disappoint him again.

They didn't kiss for too long, after all, they were not at home. After Yin Jiu pulled away, he brushed Ning Changyue's soft lips with his thumb, met his unsatisfied gaze, and said softly, "Let's go home first, and then we'll kiss again."

True to his word, after arriving home, Yin Jiu kissed Ning Changyue tenderly.

He was too gentle, but Ning Changyue felt like something was missing and kept chasing him for kisses.

But until the end, Ning Changyue didn't know what was missing. She only knew that he was not as fierce as before.

Ning Changyue still prefers him to be more ferocious.

After the deep kiss, Yin Jiu held her in his arms and asked softly, "Ning Changyue, do you like me?"

"like."

"Because it's me, you like me?"

"Well, because it's you."

Yin Jiu had asked similar questions before, but at that time he was asking why Ning Changyue paid attention to him in the beginning.

At that time Ning Changyue said: Because it's you.

I paid attention to him because of you, and now I like him because of you.

There is no other reason, just because he is Yin Jiu.

Smiling, Yin Jiu held his neck and continued to kiss him.

He was extremely affectionate and unusually gentle.

But only the system knows that the love that belongs to Yin Jiu has been torn and covered with tiny cracks.

He was heartbroken, his heart was about to break.
