Chapter 3 My Child
System: "Host."
Yin Jiu: "Let it go."
System: “…”
Never mind. I was the one who said too much.
The system decided to shut down.
There was no follow-up and Yin Jiu did not ask any further questions. In all his life, he had never met anyone he could surpass.
Even the system can’t do that. It can say whatever it wants.
He glanced at the room number on the room card, identified the direction, and strode towards it.
Soon, Li Xinzhu's room was found.
We didn't get a very good room, just an ordinary standard room. As we entered the room, we could see a slim man lying on the bed. He must have felt hot, so he lifted up his shirt, revealing his slender waist.
As a high school classmate, Yin Jiu was not familiar with Li Xinzhu, but he was not a stranger either. He was not curious about him, for example, his appearance. ∞
It's a man.
Yin Jiu is not gay, probably not, but we can't say that his sexual orientation is female.
After all, Yin Jiu has always been very lenient towards himself. If he is really in the mood, he will not restrict himself so much.
As for interest, who can tell for sure?
Anyway, up to now, no man or woman has been able to leave any trace in his heart, not even basketball stars or the anime.
All the lights in the room were on, including the bathroom, and the exhaust fan was working diligently, but no one knew how much the guy on the bed had drunk, or maybe he had been soaked in alcohol, and the strong and pungent smell of cheap alcohol filled the entire room.
Yin Jiu frowned, looking slightly impatient. He asked, "Now that I've seen him, can I leave now?"
The system didn't want to pay attention to him, but with the mentality of less trouble is worse than more trouble, it said seriously: "A one-sided meeting does not count as a meeting. I don't require you to follow the plot exactly, but at least the basic plot points must correspond."
Yin Jiu also knew that it was definitely not achieved, he just didn't want to stay any longer, "Okay, you tell me, I'll do it, finish early and go home to sleep, if it really doesn't work, you show me the original text and I'll act it out, okay?"
It's completely the mentality of a worker, no emotions at all.
The system was silent for a while, and then sent a paragraph of original text to Yin Jiu's mind.
Yin Jiu took a look and asked: "Why are there still some missing words and paragraphs?"
The system simply said: "Showing you the original text is a violation of the rules. This is the maximum authority I have."
Yin Jiu did not comment on what the system said, and completed the story by guessing.
Of the 10,000-word plot, at least 4,000 to 5,000 were deleted. A small portion of the deleted words was the psychological description of Li Hsin-chu, and the remaining large portion should be the intimate scenes.
It's normal, the two were originally a couple. In the original text, Li Hsinchu was drugged, so it's reasonable that they had some passion.
But the problem is...Yin Jiu and he are not a couple.
Don't try to extort money from me. Yin Jiu is really single. He has never been in a relationship and the relationship is so bad that he can't continue.
So what went wrong?
"A parallel world?" Yin Jiu whispered.
There was no difference between the mumbling and the sound of a breath, but it was still accurately captured by the system. The light ball flashed and pretended not to hear it.
Without dwelling on this issue for too long, Yin Jiu extracted some important elements from this passage.
It starts with him pretending to be a hotel employee to trick Lin Jin into opening the door, then he discovers Lin Jin's shameful behavior and they have a fight. Then there is a long intimate scene that is smeared black. At the end of the story, "Yin Jiu" sends Li Xinzhu home.
There were some quarrels and conversations during the period. For example, "Yin Jiu" wanted to call the police, but Li Xinzhu did not let him. As a future big singer, he habitually did not bring these private dirty tricks to the public.
This also led to the two of them falling into a cold war again.
Yes, again.
At this point in time, the two had already been involved in an argument. The cause was that for various reasons, Li Hsin-chu had been keeping their relationship secret. During his freshman summer vacation, Li Hsin-chu was introduced by a friend to work at a bar. He thought the opportunity was rare, but Yin Jiu was not too reassured and hoped to accompany him.
However, Li Xinzhu refused on the grounds that Yin Jiu's daytime work was too hard. In fact, he was afraid of exposing his sexual orientation and felt embarrassed.
Yes, shame.
After seeing the dissolute life of spending thousands of dollars a night in the bar, and seeing her boyfriend having to grab coupons in the middle of the night to buy a pair of sneakers he liked, Li Xinzhu felt embarrassed and did not want him to be exposed to her glorious side.
"Yin Jiu" is not a fool. She vaguely sensed her boyfriend's hidden thoughts, but as a farmer's son from a poor family, his vision limited him. Apart from working various jobs and earning a meager amount of hard-earned money, he could not think of any other way to fill this gap.
He was just a 19-year-old boy, and he really tried his best, but the distance between them was getting farther and farther.
Perhaps it was due to inferiority complex, or perhaps it was a test, "Yin Jiu" suggested that they separate temporarily so that the two of them could think calmly about whether they should continue to go on together.
After extracting the important elements, Yin Jiu breathed a sigh of relief. Very good, the plot of this scene can be summarized as: meeting - beating someone up - talking - sending someone home.
Intimate scene? What is that? Didn’t you see that it was blackened by harmony?
As for beating someone up, well, no one knows where that person is right now, so you can skip it. If you haven't finished it, just make a phone call and ask someone to beat you up to make up for it.
So what he had to do next was to wake up the person lying on the bed, say a few words to him, and send him home. Done!
Yin Jiu felt that he knew how to follow the plot.
Sitting down on the only chair in the standard room, Yin Jiu took out a cigarette box and lit it.
He doesn't smoke much and doesn't like to hold it between his fingers. He is used to holding it in his mouth like a lollipop.
Thinking of some past events, Yin Jiu couldn't help laughing. After laughing, he felt empty in his heart.
He sat there contentedly, but the system couldn't help asking, "Aren't you going to do anything?"
Yin Jiu asked back: "What?"
The system frantically stated: "Your wife is drunk and she is not feeling well when she sleeps. Why don't you wash her face and body?"
While Yin Jiu was pondering the plot, the drunk on the bed could no longer bear it and lifted his clothes up a little, revealing a sea of white.
As the protagonist, even if the drunkard just lies down drunk, he is still vivid and lively, enough to arouse the nerves of the same kind.
Unfortunately, Yin Jiu just took a glance and then looked away. To be honest, if he really wanted to see it, couldn’t he just look around on the beach?
Yin Jiu didn't want to get the system's clear message, and complained unhappily: "Report the rumor again, I really don't have a wife, don't throw dirty water on me."
This damn system keeps calling wife one thing after another, I'm almost brainwashed.
After one cigarette burned out, Yin Jiu changed to another one and continued to hold it in his mouth.
He wondered whether to wait for the man to wake up naturally or to wake him up with a pot of water.
Sleeping until waking up naturally, what was he thinking about? Even Yin Jiu himself dared not imagine such a treatment.
But after pouring a pot of water, he felt that although he was not a good person, he was not a bad person either.
As for waking people up.
No, he doesn't want to touch even a corner of the clothes.
Thinking of the last plot summary given by the system, Yin Jiu could hardly suppress a smile.
I'm going to laugh out loud.
What's going on? The protagonist is ignorant of people and is deceived by the scumbag. Now that the scumbag has cheated on him, he can't tolerate any grain of sand in his eyes?
Then what is Yin Jiu? Isn’t he a human being?
Others can't tolerate sand in their eyes, but he can tolerate mudslides?
outrageous.
He's been cheated on, and you still have to forgive him?
What’s even more outrageous is that the one who was cheated on wasn’t him, but probably “him” in a parallel world.
The "me" in the parallel world has been cheated on, and I have to take over for him?
This is probably the second...most outrageous thing Yin Jiu has encountered in his life.
Could it be that the person in the parallel world doesn't want to be cheated on, so he's dragging me into it?
Sure enough, this is what it means to love yourself and leave other selves with no way out?
Yin Jiu was deeply suspicious.
Another cigarette burned out, and Yin Jiu put the third one in his mouth.
To be honest, he rarely felt so hesitant, mainly because he felt really annoyed.
And the most important point is, what happens if the drunkard wakes up and goes crazy? Then there is force majeure and the plot is forced to go on.
Where can I go to seek redress then?
I was careless. I should have brought two bodyguards.
Forget it.
Just get a room and sleep there. Wait until you wake up. If the person runs away when you wake up, catch him and send him home personally.
Just tell me, is this plot going to move on?
Yin Jiu stood up, stretched, and relaxed his stiff body.
Suddenly, I heard a loud scolding voice outside the door.
I guess it was another drunkard who came back in the middle of the night. I was just about to complain about the poor soundproofing.
There was a knock on the door, followed by a voice saying, "Hello, hotel security."
For a moment, Yin Jiu thought the plot was wrong. Wasn't this exactly the scene of saving people in the original text?
After the door was knocked again, Yin Jiu opened it.
Outside the door, stood a middle-aged man in a hotel security uniform. Not far behind him, there was a boy who looked somewhat familiar.
Not long after, Yin Jiu remembered that this was the child he met in the elevator before.
I had just glanced at him casually before, but now that I had taken a closer look, I realized that he was really just a child, about sixteen or seventeen years old, wearing a loose, ill-fitting shirt, with a thin and small figure, messy hair that half-covered his eyes, a pointed chin, and not much flesh.
Like a wild weed growing wildly, or an abandoned little beast, it has an unmistakable wildness.
The first second his eyes met, the boy immediately lowered his head, but the feeling of being stared at was still there.
Yin Jiu, still holding a cigarette in his mouth, looked at the security guard with a questioning look.
The security guard smiled and explained, "I'm sorry to bother you so late at night. Do you know this child? He has been standing outside for a long time. If this is your child, it would be inappropriate for him to stay outside so late."
There was a hint of accusation in his tone.
Yin Jiu burst out laughing and was about to shake his head to deny it, but when the words came to his lips, he changed his words.
"right."
"My child."
The low, hoarse voice seemed to be smiling but not smiling, with a hint of lingering affection.
