Chapter 2 A World Deviated from Its Original Course



March is a season of renewal and rising temperatures.

But March in Harbin is still very cold, and spring snow has even fallen in the last two days.

Perhaps it was from the wind when it came in from outside, because its frail body soon began to protest.

Xiao Wujie was leaning against the luxurious sofa, his body ice-cold, coughing softly incessantly.

An unusual flush rose to her pale face.

Upon seeing this, a dashing man in a black suit behind him took a snow-white blanket and spread it over him, then handed him a hand warmer, his eyes flashing with some ambiguous emotions.

His name is Lu Zhufeng. He was once a legendary figure. He was ambushed and rescued by Xiao Wujie, after which he followed him and worked for him.

He had followed this guy for many years, so his contact with and understanding of him was naturally far greater than that of ordinary people.

This guy is an unparalleled genius, a master of feigning weakness to outsmart others, but he's also a sickly weakling who could be blown away by a gust of wind.

Before he left, he was worried that he would catch a cold and wanted to help him put on a down jacket, but this pretentious guy insisted on wearing a coat to show off.

Look! You've caught a cold, haven't you? You're coughing now, aren't you?

They really have no self-awareness whatsoever about their own bodies!

Pulling the blanket tighter around himself and warming his cold hands with the hand warmer, Xiao Wujie felt much warmer and more comfortable.

He didn't notice Lu Zhufeng's gaze and thoughts behind him, because he was also pondering many things in his mind at that moment.

His time travel was so bizarre that it changed many things that were originally there.

The character Xiao Wujie in the book was supposed to die before completing his business, but he took his place and continued to exist on the day Xiao Wujie was supposed to leave the story.

According to the original plan, after Xiao Wujie was taken offline, Chu Liyue returned to Ice City after stabilizing the situation in the capital, completed the sweeping operation that Xiao Wujie was unable to finish, and brought Xiao Wujie's body back to the capital.

In the time that followed, Chu Liyue walked alone, and many of her disguises were revealed, eventually making her the biggest boss in the book.

It was during those years when she carried the burden alone that Chu Liyue often thought of Xiao Wujie.

She gradually realized that her feelings for Xiao Wujie were far more complex and profound than she had thought.

She felt not only sibling affection, gratitude, and guilt towards Xiao Wujie, but also romantic feelings that she herself was unaware of.

But by the time she realized it, it was already too late!

She could never find that person again who could stir her cold heartstrings!

But all of this changed because of his time travel.

Xiao Wujie did not die; he existed in place of the original Xiao Wujie and completed the harvesting plan in Ice City. Chu Liyue did not come to Ice City either, but continued to advance the operation in the capital.

In what way will he continue to exist?

Is it better to indulge in eating, drinking, and having fun with your sister, making your life worthwhile? Or should you continue to lie low and help the female lead reach the pinnacle of life? Or should you focus on yourself, do whatever you want, and live the life you desire?

Of the three, he definitely leans towards the third.

But the fatal thing is that he died in another world before he finished writing the book.

In other words, even though he was the creator, he didn't know what the final fate of the story and each character would be!

He has a special feeling for this book. When he wrote it, he had just been diagnosed with an illness. At that time, he was still full of hope and vowed to fight against fate to the death. Therefore, he shaped the male and female protagonists into the image he had in mind.

But the disease was far more terrifying than he had imagined, and fate was far more cruel than he had imagined.

As he was tormented by illness, he had to admit that his will was gradually being eroded, and he felt the fragility and impermanence of life, as well as the hardships and regrets of his life.

He felt that everything in the world was destined to be imperfect, and that life, though short, always seemed to end in regret and tragedy!

With this mindset, he decided to end the story with a tragedy, making this book his swan song, and the fates of the characters in the book were a microcosm of his real-life experiences.

The ending he wanted to write but didn't have time to write was that Chu Liyue completed everything, stood at the pinnacle of life, and after all the trials and tribulations, she looked back and could no longer find the meaning of life. In the end, she stood in front of Xiao Wujie's grave and committed suicide for love.

However, his time travel shattered too many original settings, and he had no idea how the future would unfold.

A host of questions and confusion lingered in his mind, making him uncontrollably want to continue thinking.

But the tickling sensation in his throat made him cough a few more times, interrupting his thoughts.

Feeling the state of his body, he couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.

It's absolutely terrible!

They were like candles in the wind, easily extinguished by the slightest breeze.

The people below were right about one thing: he was indeed after the auction's highlight, the forgetfulness reagent.

The original owner became a sickly person with a short life due to a virus. This virus was written entirely based on his experience and feelings of having cancer, which was incurable and caused him unbearable suffering.

Judging from his current condition, he is already approaching the late stage.

This forgetting agent is named "forgetting," but it doesn't mean forgetting everything or losing memories. Rather, it means forgetting illness and allowing the body to be reborn.

This item was made in a mysterious, even taboo, place. It is currently in the trial phase and is not easily leaked to the public. The one that appeared at the auction is the only one that has been leaked to the public so far.

Its effect is to kill all harmful cells in the human body, and then stimulate the body's resistance to enhance its ability to treat serious illnesses.

However, research is still incomplete, and it has a certain degree of toxicity, which can also cause the destruction of some normal cells in the human body.

This item can play a certain role in suppressing his condition, and he knows that this item is deeply involved and has some connection with Chu Liyue.

Thinking about this, he also felt a pang of heartache!

Before I died, I was tormented by illness and felt like I was dying. I didn’t want to go through that again, but I still couldn’t escape the clutches of illness!

What a terrible thing!

Why wasn't there a healthy male protagonist?

After a self-deprecating laugh, he temporarily put aside his previous doubts.

No matter what, the most important thing is to survive first!

After all, his real self outside the book was already dead. If this bizarre new account were to become useless, he would probably be completely gone.

Only those who have truly experienced death will understand that living is always better than endless silence and darkness.

Perhaps due to overthinking, he felt somewhat tired, his eyelids drooping, and he couldn't help but reach out and pinch his brow to relieve the fatigue.

Seeing this, Lu Zhufeng behind him said softly, "Master, why don't you close your eyes and rest for a while? There's still some time before the auction starts."

Xiao Wujie nodded slightly upon hearing this, without saying anything, but he couldn't help but feel a surge of resentment in his heart.

He remembered that in many novels and movies, when a trusted confidant saw that his master was tired, he would order some high-end imported massages to help him relax.

Why don't I get this kind of treatment?

Never mind, he's a decent person. He leaned back slightly and then closed his eyes.
