Chapter 68 It doesn’t matter if the weather is sunny, love brain is also good...

After the system had expressed its will in a decisive manner, its momentum immediately weakened, and it said to Ye Man without much confidence: "But I have to tell you the truth. I am not sure whether I can stay here forever."

The process of closing the world was temporarily suspended at the last minute because the system had to continue the mission.

Now everything has returned to the starting point. The system continues to assist Ye Man in completing the task. Logically, no matter whether it succeeds in the end or not, it will leave when everything is settled and finished.

The system said shyly, "You...you are different from everyone I have met before. I don't want to force you to do a task. I still want to stay by your side and be with you."

"I think I should tell you this," the system asked him. "I can't decide between the two of us by myself, right?"

Ye Man replied quietly, "Yes."

It could also leave without a word like it did before, and decide on its own to do something good for him, but if that was not what Ye Man wanted, it would be meaningless.

The system has already felt Ye Man's will, which is more powerful than any words.

He is always reckless and willing to give everything he has for what he wants.

Previously, the system judged that the possibility of staying in this world and staying with Ye Man was very slim, and it made a decision based on this premise. For things that are absolutely impossible based on factual judgments, the system will find other ways to make the next best choice.

This is a rational choice.

Even though it was not what it wanted, it had to compromise.

However, Ye Man told it with his actions that he was unwilling to compromise.

Among countless broad and smooth roads, he chose the narrow and unmanned path without hesitation. Perhaps only humans always go against all cognition and reason and choose to face the impossible head-on.

The system said embarrassedly: "I think I should learn from you and be a brave ruler."

So it wants to tell him that it also wants to stay, but also tells him that it is not sure.

Ye Man didn't feel fooled or cheated when he heard this. People like Ye Guowen, who promised to take him to watch fireworks and then made excuses not to go, were liars.

So he didn't get angry, but comforted her by saying, "That's okay, let's think of a solution together. Two people can always come up with more ideas than just you. We can work hard together."

System: "I still don't want you to do the task. I don't want you to be unhappy, and I don't want you to feel wronged. Ye Man, if you are unhappy, I will be unhappy too."

Ye Man bit the toast and narrowed his eyes: "Then let's find a way to make both of us happy."

"Xiao Man," Xu Huaiting leaned over and asked in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "What are you talking about with it? It looks so happy. Tell it out loud so I can be happy too."

Ye Man's body stiffened, and the system in his brain also burst into screams.

I almost forgot there was someone here who knew about the existence of this system.

Ye Man said in a daze, "It's not just the two of us, it's the three of us now, Brother Tong."

Xu Huaiting caught the toast that fell from Ye Man's hand, and instead of giving it back to Ye Man, he ate it clean in two bites.

Ye Man, whose toast was snatched away, squeezed his empty palms and was a little dazed.

Chi Yan lost control of the fork in her hand and made a harsh sound on the plate.

Xu Huaiting pretended not to hear, took a new piece of toast, spread some raspberry jam on it and stuffed it into Ye Man's hand: "Another flavor, try it."

When Ye Man sat at the table, he would eat whatever others put in front of him. Unless he was deliberately making things difficult for Chi Jue, he would rarely ask for what he wanted to eat, and he would not take the initiative to take food other than what was in front of him. As long as it was placed a little further away, he would not touch it from beginning to end.

Most of the time, he would just eat what he had in front of him. Even if the table was filled with all kinds of dishes, he would still eat just the white rice in his hand.

Chi Jue, who was often ordered around by Ye Man, didn't feel much about this. When he was at Chi's house, his behavior was not obvious. Aunt Zhou would put food that suited Ye Man's taste next to him, and Ye Man would instruct Chi Jue to pick up food for him, and Chi Jue would also take the initiative to ask. But because he was not paying special attention to Ye Man's situation, he would sometimes miss it.

This was very obvious when I was at the halved pork restaurant before.

After Ye Man took a few bites of the toast with jam, Xu Huaiting replaced the remaining half of his toast with one with chocolate peanut butter.

——He can only eat so much in one meal. If he eats a whole piece of food, he won’t be able to eat anything else. It’s just right like this.

Meng Yao was hesitant to speak as he was stunned by his uncle's actions.

As he watched, he felt a little unwilling to give up, and turned to look at the unfinished toast in Chi Jue's hand. In the eager eyes beside him that could not be ignored, Chi Jue's forehead twitched slightly, and he quickly finished the thing in his hand.

Xu Huaiting faced the death stares of Chi Yan and Chi Jue and calmly ate the remaining half of Ye Man's toast.

I was absentmindedly thinking back to what happened in the butcher shop.

The proprietress Aunt Li specially brought a few side dishes to Ye Man and Xu Huaiting. Ye Man didn't touch them the whole time and didn't say he wanted to eat. At that time, Xu Huaiting thought he didn't like them and didn't think much about it.

Later I discovered that this was not the case.

He was afraid of being scolded.

If you hadn't met someone like Xu Huaiting, you would never have thought that someone would be so cautious even when eating. During the meal, his mind was turning eight hundred times, and he was secretly watching the expressions of the people around him.

He didn't even dare to show his true desire. His face was a cute expression, and he boasted about how great and delicious the dishes on the table were - even though he didn't actually eat any of them.

If it weren't for someone watching him all the time, it would be difficult to discover his "little tricks".

Even Ye Man himself didn't realize it.

Those behavioral patterns have become habits and instincts over time.

Even if Xu Huaiting told him directly that he didn't have to do this, according to Ye Man's way of thinking, it would be difficult for him to understand, and it would be difficult for him to let go of himself just by saying it.

He is cautious, careful, lacks trust in people, hardly believes what anyone says to him, and always has doubts in his heart.

Most of the time, after much thought, he would choose to retreat into the shell that represents safety.

This problem cannot be solved in one or two days, we can only accompany him and take it slowly.

You have to treat him very well, hold him at the top of your heart, cherish and pamper him, so well that one day he will ride on Xu Huaiting's head and show off his power; so well that he can't stand any grievance or endure any hardship, then these problems will be corrected.

Xu Huaiting could sense that even when he accepted his confession, he was full of uncertainty and doubt.

But even though she didn't believe in his love for him, he still accepted him without hesitation.

Rather than being afraid of the possible harm that an uncertain relationship might bring, he wanted to go towards him;

Even when he was unsure of anything, he still firmly held the hand that was extended to him.

Xu Huaiting ate the last bite of bread and, taking advantage of the cover of the tablecloth, held Ye Man's hand.

She slowly and methodically opened his fingers, which he habitually curled toward his palms, one by one, squeezed them into the gaps between his fingers, and interlocked his five fingers.

Being held in someone's palm, Ye Man flexed his fingers.

This action reminded him of what happened in the attic. His thin face turned red and panic flashed across his face, but he had to consider other people and pretend to be calm.

Xu Huaiting looked at the hand that was still being held obediently by him, and finally revealed an expression of regret.

Chi Yan didn't know when the direction of the dinner knife in her hand changed from a forward grip to a reverse grip.

If Xu Huaiting dared to do anything again, he would probably not be able to sit still.

If Ye Man hadn't seemed so abnormal last night, Chi Yan would not have agreed to let the two of them stay alone in the attic for so long.

Ye Man only told Xu Huaiting about the system matter. It was not appropriate to bring it up in front of everyone at the table. Xu Huaiting held her hand under the table, so Ye Man acted coquettishly and rubbed the back of Xu Huaiting's hand with her fingers. Xu Huaiting remained expressionless, but he really didn't mention the system matter again.

Ye Man briefly explained it to the system in his mind.

The system snorted and asked him, "Aren't you afraid that he will think you are a psychopath?"

Ye Man shyly repeated to it what Xu Huaiting had said at that time, and the system was disappointed to find that this person really had no loopholes at all.

So it shouted unwillingly in Ye Man's mind: "It sounds nice, but he is actually a love brain!"

Who wouldn't have doubts? He could even accept the existence of the system! This is impossible!

Ye Man didn't think about it in this way at first.

After hearing what the system said, I began to doubt this possibility.

But can a person like my living ancestor also have a romantic brain?

In the skit, those who love brains are all idiots, and idiots will eventually go bankrupt.

Ye Man muttered, "What's wrong with being a love-brain? Brother Tong, please don't discriminate."

During the days of the snowstorm, they could do nothing but stay in the house.

On the system side, Ye Man had just earned some points, and Brother Tong said they still had time to slowly calculate what to do next.

"You've finally come to the Arctic, so just relax and have fun for a few days, don't think too much."

In the end, Chi Yan and Chi Jue did not ask Ye Man what happened before.

Ye Man didn't dare to be alone in the same room with them for the first two days. He followed Xu Huaiting like a little tail every day, and waited until his elder brother fell asleep before going back at night. After Brother Tong came back, Ye Man was not so scared at night, and he became braver and no longer needed someone to accompany him.

When Xu Huaiting went to cook, he would pull at his clothes, put on a serious expression on his face, and try very hard to follow his steps, moving around with him.

Almost follows him wherever he goes.

Now that he was more familiar with the space of the villa and there was someone watching him, Ye Man stopped using the cane and relied on other senses to follow Xu Huaiting's steps. Sometimes he would not step on Xu Huaiting accurately.

At this time Xu Huaiting would stop and turn around just in time to see the other person pursing his lips, with an expression that was helpless but trying to be calm.

If the other people weren't there, Xu Huaiting would lean over and kiss him without any hesitation.

Ye Man would stand there obediently and let him kiss her. If he went too far, he would carry her to the island platform, press her there and kiss her until she couldn't breathe. She would even try to hold Xu Huaiting's neck to make it easier for him to kiss her.

The system was making strange sounds, making Ye Man blush.

He pushed Xu Huaiting, covered his wet mouth with the back of his hand, and reminded him softly: "There's still food cooking in the pot."

But this usually only makes Xu Huaiting, who originally wanted to let him go, come back to bully him.

Gradually, Ye Man discovered that when his elder and second brothers were not around, he stepped on Xu Huaiting's feet more often.

I began to suspect that the other person was stepped on intentionally, but I had no evidence.

Later, Chi Yan couldn't stand it anymore and finally found an opportunity to stop him.

Ye Man pinched his fingers anxiously, but Chi Yan just touched his head and told him: "Not everything in the world needs to be thoroughly investigated and understood."

Ye Man was silent.

Chi Yan asked: "Have you felt better these past two days?"

Ye Man nodded.

Chi Yan: "That's fine."

When Chi Yan left, Ye Man was still a little confused, but he soon realized what Chi Yan meant.

——He didn't want to find out the reason for his absurd behavior. He would say what he wanted to say and not say what he didn't want to say.

They didn't understand and couldn't figure out why he did that.

They just wanted to make him understand that as long as he was happy, they were willing to play with him anytime.

A complex and slightly sour emotion emerged. Ye Man stood there alone for a while, rubbed his eyes, and after returning, he no longer avoided Chi Yan and Chi Jue.

Although he was trapped in the house by the snow and couldn't get out, Ye Man didn't feel bored or miserable. On the contrary, these few days passed too quickly, and he even wanted time to pass more slowly.

That day, he was sitting on the sofa wrapped in a blanket. The villa was warm. He was dozing off on Xu Huaiting's shoulder when he suddenly heard someone next to him calling him softly.

"Xiao Man, wake up, the weather has improved. We can go out in a few hours. We agreed to go to the seed bank."

Ye Man sat up, not knowing what he had dreamed about, and became dazed.

Xu Huaiting brought the slippers and squatted at his feet to help him put them on.

When he looked up, Ye Man was searching for something on his body. Finally, he took out a key and handed it to him solemnly.

"This is for you. Keep it well. There are only two keys, one for you and one for me. Inside is the royal blue key you gave me, and other valuables." He touched Xu Huaiting's face, touched the top of his head, patted it comfortingly, and promised him with a serious face: "Don't worry, even if you go bankrupt in the future, I will not abandon you. I have saved a lot of money, and I can also support you."

Xu Huaiting: “?”

Ye Man patted his head lovingly: "It's okay, love brain is also good."
