After all, in his original world, he had few family connections and had always longed for a stable home. Gu Yi and the other three had briefly given him hope, and then in the interstellar world, Alger and he formed a happy marriage. Then, Alger died, and Xu Shiqing was alone again.
Xie Jingyi and Alger were the same person. This was Xu Shiqing's greatest comfort after the end of the third world. Without this, he would have been unable to forge a deeper relationship with anyone in the next world.
If he had to lose someone, wouldn't it be better to keep his distance from the beginning? That way, there wouldn't be so much regret and sadness when he said goodbye. He had to accept that he was alone from beginning to end, and this was exactly what Xu Shiqing couldn't accept the most.
People must have an anchor, just like the world needs stories to be stable and a tree needs land to stand.
A person who has no place to go is like a rootless duckweed, because a point cannot move forward or backward, it will just be a lonely point.
Xu Shiqing tried hard, striving to enrich his soul and spirit. He tried to become a solitary tree on a floating island. He knew Xie Chongyue was different from him. He had his own world, his own hometown, and he wanted to save him, and he had worked hard for many, many years. Those were years Xu Shiqing had never participated in. He only knew Alger and Xie Jingyi.
Xu Shiqing felt like he was just a passer-by in the other person's life, and that feeling didn't fade away even with Xie Chongyue's words of comfort and companionship. Because the facts before him allowed Xu Shiqing to rely on reason and logic to conclude that he and the other person would eventually separate in the future.
Even though Xu Shiqing was actually willing to stay with Xie Chongyue forever, he actually knew that all emotions would eventually calm down, just like the mountains finally becoming silent over the years, the sea water receding, and the flying geese leaving only their snowy footprints, leaving no trace.
It is impossible to explain clearly what will happen in the future, but Xu Shiqing already has a possessive desire for the other person's future.
He was so uneasy. When he couldn't get an answer, Gu Qingli's figure flashed before his eyes again. In his dream, he thought about the other person's death. Xu Shiqing was not just silent and sad. He thought of Chen Siwei, Shen Wuwei, Zhao Xuan, Ronnie, Theresa, and finally, he thought of Gu Yi and the others.
How far could he take them? Ultimately, he wanted to continue, but that didn't mean he wasn't afraid.
It seemed as if he could leave nothing behind. After going around in circles, he was the only one left to experience everything. In the end, he was still the only one in the ward who experienced spring, summer, autumn and winter. The world was vast and his life was lonely.
Xie Chongyue admitted that he almost stopped breathing when he saw tears rolling down Xu Shiqing's eyes.
He tried hard to catch up with Xu Shiqing, but the other party had obviously spent some time alone in a place he didn't know about, and was not willing to let him share the burden.
"Why are you crying?" Xie Chongyue reached out to wipe the tears from the young man's eyes and said, "I'm here, don't be afraid."
Xu Shiqing wiped his tears with his hands, stubbornly not wanting Xie Chongyue to touch him.
"Big liar... Ugh, you all are..." The facade Xu Shiqing had been trying so hard to maintain completely collapsed, and he spoke intermittently: "I'm the only one who remembers, all along... It's only me... Hiccup..."
Everyone will leave, sooner or later, even if he tries to tell himself that Xie Chongyue won't, 021 won't, but in fact, after four worlds, every person who left seemed to be telling Xu Shiqing that you will be alone.
Should he go back to that ward? Xu Shiqing didn't want to go back. He was fed up with that kind of life. He was so lonely that everything seemed meaningless. Everything in the world had nothing to do with him.
"I don't want to be alone..."
He thought he had no tears left, but at this moment, fear and grief swept over him.
It was like going back to the past. No one talked to him. Happiness and sadness didn’t matter. He still had to live, and all he had to do was live.
Xie Chongyue felt a mixture of emotions. He bent down and said, "I don't want to be alone either."
"Shi Qing, what should I do?" he asked, "What should I do so that you won't be afraid?"
Xu Shiqing cried in confusion and hiccuped unconsciously: "I, I don't know."
021 happily jumped out of the system space, hoping to have a touching reunion with Xu Shiqing, but he saw the young man's red eyes and Xie Chongyue said to him: "I want to issue a commission to the Space-Time Bureau in the name of the XS1314 world consciousness."
[Huh?] 021 was stunned for a moment, then realized the meaning behind this sentence [What are you going to do?]
Xie Chongyue looked at him calmly. Of course, he would take his wife back to his hometown and give her the keys, land deeds, property certificates and property.
Although he and Xu Shiqing opened up to each other and almost cried in each other's arms, this was not the most important thing. The most important thing was that Xie Chongyue finally knew how to resolve each other's knot, and then got a marriage certificate (soul binding) and lived their life together.
It had been a long time since he had been so enthusiastic about building and saving his hometown. He was even grateful that he had run for so long to accumulate so much energy and popularity - he was simply a wife-oriented person.
Xu Shiqing hesitated to speak. He was now a mixture of three parts embarrassment, four parts shame, and three parts determination to help Ji Song save his hometown. But he had to admit, he actually held onto the hope that perhaps, like Xie Chongyue, he could truly regard the world of XS1314 as his home.
"My hometown is now practically devoid of world consciousness. It's my clone that's holding up the entire world, barely maintaining its structure." Xie Chongyue explained, "Because I'm the only living being left, I only need simple commands to do it."
[How impressive...] 021 said sincerely. He knew very well how powerful it was to achieve this. His familiarity with the rules was no different from his true world consciousness. [What do you want to entrust? I'll apply to 001 and the others.]
"I'm going to restart the story." Xie Chongyue squeezed Xu Shiqing's hand and said, "Don't worry about the energy, but I need your help to build the story—and then create a god."
"!" Xu Shiqing raised his eyes. Shouldn't we just rebuild our home?
【!】021 stopped typing the application.
Xie Chongyue said calmly, "Since this is already my world, then isn't it natural for Shi Qing to be the protagonist?"
"But what does creating a god have to do with me being the protagonist...?"
Xu Shiqing asked.
[To put it simply and directly, it means making the protagonist a god.] 021 noticed something and asked, [Xie Chongyue, do you want to share power with him?]
“…My strength…?” Xu Shiqing didn’t want to refuse, he simply felt that his strength was increasing too quickly.
Xie Chongyue said calmly, "Is it strange to have two keys to a house?"
He raised another eyebrow and said, "And XS1314 has now decayed into a small world."
This means that his current strength is more than enough to become a god in the XS1314 world.
