Lin Chen and An Rou walked out of a shopping mall together.
"Lin Chen, Merry Christmas, this is a scarf for you."
"Didn't you just say you bought it for Lao Lin?"
"Oh, wasn't that to surprise you?"
"Thanks."
"Let's go build a snowman."
"Okay, let me tell you, I'm really good at building snowmen."
...
"careful!"
A Cadillac sped towards them from a distance and crashed directly into them.
An Rou suddenly shoved Lin Chen away, and then fell into the snow. Blood slowly flowed from her body, staining a large area of the white ground red.
The car crashed into a Christmas tree tangled with electrical wires, followed by a crackling sound of electricity, and then a sudden burst of fire engulfed the Christmas tree and the car.
"Anrou, Anrou, how are you?!"
Lin Chen quickly ran over to check on An Rou's injuries, dialing 911 as he did so.
"There's been a car accident here, please come quickly! The address is at the east entrance of California Peace Mall, hurry!"
An Rou felt the blood flowing out of her body, and it felt like several of her ribs were broken. It hurt so much.
But she still pretended to smile and said to Lin Chen.
"Lin Chen, it's alright, the ambulance will be here soon."
She paused for a moment, then continued.
"Thank you, Lin Chen, for giving me a different life, allowing me to experience the prosperity of this world, and letting me feel the warmth of family. These are things I never dared to dream of before."
Lin Chen said while crying.
"No, Anrou, I will give you a better life and more warmth. We will also have our own baby in the future and watch him grow up together."
Upon hearing the word "baby," a longing expression returned to An Rou's eyes, which had been gradually dimming.
At this moment, the long-lost system voice sounded in Lin Chen's mind again.
"Host, I can save An Rou, but there will be a price to pay."
"Any price is acceptable! Any price is acceptable!"
"Host, the world you are in now is not real, but formed from your obsessions from your past life. You are currently lying unconscious in a hospital bed, and this system is the channel connecting the two worlds. However, this system cannot be maintained for long before its energy is exhausted."
You now have two choices, host.
First, I will use my remaining energy to send you back to your original world, where everything here will be reduced to nothingness. Of course, An Rou is a real person from the original world and is currently in good health, so the host doesn't need to worry.
Secondly, if I use my remaining energy to revive An Rou in this world, then the host will lose the opportunity to return to the original world, and everything in this world will also vanish into nothingness after the host's lifespan ends.
At this moment, there was still no sound of an ambulance coming from afar. An Rou was about to die. Lin Chen held An Rou's hand tightly and silently recited to the system in his mind.
"I choose..."
...
(The End!)
