Chapter 31 He Just Doesn't Want Me Anymore
The next day, which happened to be the Little New Year in the South, the two returned home after a week's absence.
It was already night when he got home, so he didn't cook. Instead, Yin Jiu ordered a meal at a hot pot restaurant, which was quite sumptuous.
However, no matter how sumptuous the meal was, Yin Jiu only ate a little bit, and Ning Changyue did not persuade him to eat more, so he did not feel nauseous after eating.
After dinner, Yin Jiu cleaned up the leftover food and took the garbage downstairs to throw it away.
Perhaps because it was the Little New Year, every household had lights on, but it was very quiet outside.
The system followed him and suddenly said, "Host, have you ever thought about temporarily separating from Ning Changyue? The mission will take two and a half years, so there is no rush. Find an excuse to temporarily separate from him for a while and adjust your state."
Yin Jiu glanced at it and said, "I've thought about it."
He paused for two seconds and added, "I can't bear to do that."
Of course he knew that this wouldn't work, and he also knew that perhaps separating and not seeing each other for a while would help him adjust quickly.
But I can't bear to part with you. How can I bear to part with you?
The system advised: "Since you don't want to break up, why don't you talk to him properly? I always feel that there is a misunderstanding. Remember, Li Xinzhu's feelings for you were almost zero at the beginning, but this is unreasonable because he has feelings for the protagonist to a certain extent. But you said at the time that because you and Yin Jiu are not the same person, the love detection system distinguishes the feelings."
"Later I found out that you were not the original Yin Jiu, which was consistent with your guess, because the data given by the love test targets the soul, not the body."
"You think Ning Changyue likes you because of the memories from your past life, but have you ever thought that his feelings are for your soul?"
"Why don't you have a good talk with him?"
Those in power are confused, but those who are watching can see clearly.
The system really thinks that Yin Jiu is just making trouble for himself. Why should he doubt it when his heart and eyes are filled with pure emotions for only one person?
Yin Jiu said: "You have convinced me a little."
It must be said that no matter which side the system stands on, it will really make plans for the other side wholeheartedly. It stood on Li Hsin-chu's side at the beginning, so it couldn't distinguish right from wrong, and only saw the good in Li Hsin-chu. Now it stands on Yin Jiu's side, and is also trying its best to solve his problems.
In fact, he had thought about what the system said, but he really couldn't understand it for the time being.
He had set many goals before, but in the end, they were like boomerangs, hitting himself accurately.
He said that it was impossible for him to be a stand-in for someone else, and that no one would like to watch a plot where the person keeps talking without explaining anything. But now he has tacitly accepted his identity as a stand-in, and even though he is so sad that he can hardly breathe, he is unwilling to ask for the truth.
Am I still a love-brained person?
Yin Jiu had to accept this fact somewhat resignedly.
The system is right. Since you love his soul, why not give him a little more trust?
Even if Ning Changyue really has memories of his previous life, he loves Yin Jiu now, and this cannot be faked. The body can deceive, but the soul cannot.
Yin Jiu was almost convinced, but he still felt a little lacking in energy.
The soul seemed to be split into two halves, one half was convincing myself, and the other half was watching coldly.
After returning home, Ning Changyue sat on the sofa in a daze. He had been very silent since yesterday and had something on his mind.
Seeing Yin Jiu coming back, he turned around and smiled.
He was a person who was very reluctant to smile, but after he smiled at Yin Jiu yesterday, he would smile every time their eyes met, as if he wanted to make up for all his previous smiles at once.
But there was no smile in his eyes.
Yin Jiu walked over and sat down beside him, leaning sideways to look him in the face. He instinctively wanted to laugh, but he controlled himself not to laugh. After making up his mind, he said, "I'm going to see a doctor tomorrow. When I'm better, we can talk about it in detail. Don't worry, it's not serious."
It doesn't seem that difficult to admit that your heart is sick.
After being negative for so long, even though he still had no motivation for anything, Yin Jiu didn't want to let it go.
It's been so long, it's really enough. He is not such a fragile person.
The system said that there were still two and a half years left, but what he wanted was not just these two and a half years, what he wanted was Ning Changyue's entire rest of her life.
After Yin Jiu finished saying those words, Ning Changyue just smiled at him.
"Stop laughing." Yin Jiu said, "I'm really fine."
He held her in his arms and covered Ning Changyue's eyes.
Ning Changyue said: "Well, you are fine."
Ning Changyue's mentality was problematic, but Yin Jiu seemed to have no energy to comfort him.
The two of them snuggled together, like a cat and a dog caught in the rain. They each had their own thoughts, but were unwilling to tell each other.
At night, the two lay in the same bed.
Just when Yin Jiu was about to fall asleep, he heard Ning Changyue ask softly, "Don't you like me anymore?"
After catching his breath, Yin Jiu said, "That's not the case. I like you more every day."
Ning Changyue just said "hmm" softly with a nasal tone, and did not add a sentence like before: I like you more too.
When did you discover that Yin Jiu was abnormal?
It could be those gentle kisses, or it could be those overly considerate hugs.
Yin Jiu was still very good to him, even better than before, but Ning Changyue knew that Yin Jiu was different.
Just because he didn't say it doesn't mean he doesn't know.
But Ning Changyue just watched quietly, passively accepting the judgment from Yin Jiu.
If it's him, any kind of relationship is fine as long as we can be together.
But what if he doesn't want to be together anymore?
Ning Changyue could not give an answer to this question.
It seems that humans fall in and out of love very casually. They may suddenly love someone, and suddenly stop loving someone.
Ning Changyue couldn't understand, so he pretended to be deaf and dumb.
Ning Changyue also noticed that Yin Jiu was getting thinner and thinner and eating less and less.
He was unhappy, and Ning Changyue felt it.
But this unhappiness seemed to come from myself.
What did I do wrong again? I was obviously very good, always very good.
Not good enough?
When Ning Chang asked Yin Jiu if he was sick yesterday and got a positive answer, he smiled happily. That was great. He was just sick and she didn't hate him.
But... I'm so sad.
He would rather he was because, he didn't like him anymore.
When I ask this question at this moment: "Do you not like me anymore?"
Ning Changyue was quick to notice Yin Jiu's hesitation. It turned out that he really didn't like him that much anymore.
Ning Changyue closed his eyes and smiled.
A dreamless night.
After breakfast, Yin Jiu changed into going-out clothes and prepared to see the psychiatrist.
Ning Changyue followed him, looked at him at the entrance, and asked, "Can I go with you?"
After ruffling his hair, Yin Jiu smiled and said, "It will probably take a long time, so can you wait for me at home?"
Ning Changyue nodded.
"Don't worry, I'll be fine. Wait for me to come back." Having said this, Yin Jiu lowered his head and kissed him.
This was the purest kiss they had ever had since they met. It was just a light touch, like a caress, or like absorbing each other's warmth.
Yin Jiu left.
Ning Changyue stood in the entrance hall in a daze for a long time. This scene actually happened often. When Yin Jiu went to school, he would watch him go out like this every day.
He liked it this way because he knew he would come back and see him again.
But today, Ning Changyue felt sad.
He stood there for a long while, then found the backpack he brought with him, packed clothes into it, hesitated, and did not take the mooncake box with him.
He was leaving because Yin Jiu didn't want him anymore.
Yin Jiu was not sick, he just didn't want him anymore.
He will live well in a place where he can't see.
Again.
