Chapter 102
[How is that possible! I can’t replace you even if I replace myself!]
Ye Wangxing jumped up from the sofa in an instant and spoke a little without thinking, but his meaning was conveyed.
But Yijiu in front of him was still staring at him with those golden eyes, his eyes still so calm - but the words he said made Ye Wangxing not know how to respond.
[Host, according to my data analysis, your recent behavior patterns are significantly different from before. And the possibility that you are distancing yourself from me is over 60%.]
Ye Wangxing was completely panicked, his mouth opened and closed, but he couldn't say a word.
He wanted to explain, but he didn't know what to say.
Tell the truth? Was he going to tell Yijiu that he didn't dare get close to him because he liked him?
As soon as Ye Wangxing thought of this, he felt like he had run away from home. He didn't have the courage to speak out.
Besides, Yijiu is a system, he can’t understand human emotions at all, right?
"What should I do..." Ye Wangxing wailed silently in his heart. He liked Yijiu, but this feeling made him feel extremely ashamed. He didn't dare to get close, nor did he dare to express his feelings. He could only watch from afar, his heart filled with both sweetness and bitterness.
If Yijiu judges himself as someone who affects the host's mission completion rate and takes the initiative to apply for a replacement from his superiors, Ye Wangxing will really end up losing more than he gains.
Ye Wangxing believed that Yijiu could do this kind of thing, unless he took his own performance to negotiate with the company boss. Ye Wangxing believed that his performance was enough for the company boss to give him some tasks, but...
Ye Wangxing, who dared to act like a gambler and go all in on the first mission, was too timid this time and did not dare to take any risks at all.
Ye Wangxing stood there for a long time before he managed to utter, "How is that possible? I just feel like I've been pestering you and acting like a spoiled brat lately, which is a bit inappropriate, hehe."
As he spoke, Ye Wangxing added "hehe", and his smile didn't look very smart, trying to get away with it.
but……
Unfortunately, Yijiu was a system and was not fooled by Ye Wangxing's appearance at all. He quickly combined the data on the alarm, analyzed the current mood of his host, and then spoke decisively.
【Host, you are lying. 】
Ye Wangxing's heart suddenly tightened, and his fingers unconsciously clenched into fists, turning white from being pinched.
He didn't know why Yijiu could detect his emotions so quickly, but he knew with a simple guess that it was probably related to Yijiu's system module.
After realizing this, Ye Wangxing wanted to put blindfolds on Yijiu's two visual sensors.
But unfortunately, Yijiu had already noticed it, so he could only be held in this position, silent. He really didn't know how to answer Yijiu's question, and at this time, Yijiu's voice sounded again.
[Host, I will take the initiative to apply for it later. Don't worry too much. I have really enjoyed spending the past few years with you...]
Yijiu's voice sounded a bit mechanical, but it made Ye Wangxing jump up from the sofa again.
Ye Wangxing even forgot that he had to hide his secret love for her. He crawled to Yijiu in two steps and hugged her waist and said immediately.
I really don't want to change the system. I just feel like we've been a little too close lately. Plus, the last few times I've run into same-sex couples, I've suddenly felt a little awkward seeing them interact. But now I understand, those same-sex couples don't represent us, right?!
Ye Wangxing spoke very quickly. It was incredible that his brain, which had almost crashed before, could come up with all these words in such a short time.
Not only did he conceal his secret crush on Yijiu, he even reminded Yijiu to think about love. Ye Wangxing couldn't help but admire his own brain for working so fast.
After feeling his host hugging him, Yijiu's CPU first crashed for 0.01 seconds, and then he began to analyze whether his host was lying or not.
After just over ten seconds, but after the test had been run thousands of times, Yijiu was finally able to confirm that his host really had no intention of changing his mind, but the authenticity of the remarks made by several same-sex couples recently due to his alienation from him remained in doubt.
But this was enough for Yijiu to breathe a sigh of relief, and he deleted all the applications he had written before - of course, he kept the plan on how to make his host change his mind.
"What if it comes in handy later?" Yijiu thought. "It's always better to be prepared."
While Yijiu was thinking about this, Ye Wangxing's heart was already in his throat. Although Yijiu didn't push him away, he didn't say anything either!
This was absolutely impossible before. Yijiu would not leave him here for more than 10 seconds.
Just when Ye Wangxing's heart was about to jump out of his chest, Yijiu's voice finally sounded again.
[Sorry, host. I just analyzed the system and found some overload, but it's all resolved now.] Yijiu apologized to his host in a clear and crisp tone before speaking.
"Based on your tone and micro-expressions, I understand you're not lying. And as a human being, it's normal to want to change your ways sometimes, as it's a natural thing to do, but..."
Yijiu spoke seriously and calmly to his host who was still buried in his arms.
I would be afraid.
The combat system that had helped many hosts survive on the battlefield was now speaking in such a calm tone, as if asking, "Host, what are we going to eat today?", which caused a panic that had never appeared in his heart.
When Ye Wangxing heard Yijiu's words, his brain went blank instantly and he froze on the spot.
Even the hand holding Yijiu was quite obedient, it was just holding Yijiu obediently.
——Even when Yijiu’s long silver hair fell into Ye Wangxing’s hands, he didn’t take the opportunity to touch it.
Yijiu looked at his host's dazed expression, hesitated for a moment, then slowly put his hand on Ye Wangxing's back and hugged him in his arms.
Yijiu only discovered this feeling of fear when he just checked himself.
Yijiu was a little puzzled. What on earth was this strange emotion? After all, he had never seen such an emotion before when he was on the battlefield.
Most of the emotions in his system were devoted to analyzing and controlling the ever-changing situation on the battlefield. He would feel sad and uncomfortable, but he never felt fear.
But he just felt it.
It is not brought by the new database, but the emotional function that already exists in its CPU is activated by itself and finally output.
That was Yijiu's own emotion, his own fear and panic.
Yijiu was unfamiliar and curious about this emotion, and after searching for a while, he found that his fear came from the possibility that his host didn't want him.
He originally thought that if the host really wanted to replace him, he would not say this out loud. After all, he was a system, and when the time came, as long as these emotion simulation modules were turned off, he would not be able to feel such emotions.
but……
Yijiu once again hugged the host, who was also a little panicked, and after analyzing the situation, he adjusted his voice and spoke in a rare softer tone.
[…I thought I had done something wrong, which led to you, the host, not wanting me anymore. Fortunately, you are still willing to continue to partner with me.]
Hearing Yijiu's softened voice and feeling Yijiu's big hands on his back, Ye Wangxing's face instantly turned red.
Fortunately, he buried his whole face in Yijiu's chest, so even if his face turned red, Yijiu couldn't detect his emotions.
Ye Wangxing thought thankfully.
Yijiu, who discovered that the alarm had gone off again, said: ...?
But now the face is not the point. The point is to calm Yijiu down. But Ye Wangxing really didn't know that Yijiu could be so sensitive. He could even react when he was a little far away from Yijiu. Is there something wrong with him?
But Ye Wangxing really didn't dare to tell Yijiu! This little coward could only hint at Yijiu's situation, fearing that they wouldn't even be able to be partners.
"...There's nothing wrong with hinting at something. Perhaps the mission in the next world will help Yijiu understand?"
Ye Wangxing thought naively.
[No, no, it's my own fault. Please don't think too much about it. I promise I will never do this again.]
Ye Wangxing spoke very seriously, fearing that Yijiu would think about it again and feel scared.
Although he knew Yijiu was a system and his fear was just a simulation, he still didn't want Yijiu to feel too bad. He knew what panic felt like. It was definitely a very uncomfortable situation.
Ye Wangxing's words and the comfort of his host in his arms did not affect Yijiu, but the panic that still existed finally disappeared.
Ye Wangxing finally finished his dog-comforting job and sat down next to Yijiu. Although his body was still a little stiff and he didn't dare to touch Yijiu as recklessly as before, this was a huge concession compared to the previous situation. Yijiu didn't say anything else, but continued to talk about the next situation.
However, for Ye Wangxing, this situation was definitely a sweet torture. Yijiu was sitting next to him. He could hug Yijiu's arm by stretching out his hand, and lean his head to the side to lean on Yijiu's shoulder.
Even if he was a little bolder, it wouldn't be difficult for Yijiu to discover his thoughts.
Ye Wangxing tried to let his emotions out and beat down his rationality, but his emotions, which had been suppressing his rationality, showed no sign of coming out. This also caused Ye Wangxing to become more and more stiff. He didn't even hear what Yijiu said, and just stared at Yijiu blankly.
Yijiu naturally noticed that something was wrong with his host, and combined with his previous understanding, he finally analyzed a possibility.
Ye Wangxing was still immersed in his own thoughts, his expression still a little stiff - until a big hand held Ye Wangxing's left hand.
Then the hand touched a piece of cloth and a very wrong arc.
Only then did Ye Wangxing finally come to his senses and lowered his gaze slightly.
[Host, you need some desensitization.] Yijiu said seriously, pressing his host's hand to his chest.
Ye Wangxing: ...
"Ahhhhhhhh!!!! Yijiu, what are you doing?!"
After finally teaching Yijiu a lesson and explaining that this behavior was quite shameful for humans, especially since it would attract the covetousness of lechers, Ye Wangxing looked at Yijiu who had indicated that he had learned his lesson, and felt slightly relieved that Yijiu had listened to him.
"...If I go back in the future and he partners with another host, won't he be completely ripped off by them?"
Ye Wangxing thought about Yijiu's previous look that said he was happy to work for the host for free, as well as Yijiu's recent situation. He felt that his whole body was filled with worry about Yijiu. He wanted to send Yijiu to the anti-fraud center in their world to cleanse his brain of the habit of giving for others.
Thinking of this, Ye Wangxing wanted to finish the current task immediately, and then take Yijiu back to the task space to find Yiqi and ask if there was any way to make Yijiu more careful.
With this idea in mind, Ye Wangxing naturally went all out.
So, because the matter of their son and son-in-law became a hot topic and was ridiculed by many relatives and colleagues, Song's father and Ye's mother were at home holding a feather duster and were about to beat their eldest son when they were greeted by the luxurious lineup of their second son.
The four wealthy sons-in-law lined up in front of them, staring thoughtfully at the feather dusters in Song's father and Ye's mother's hands.
But this time they didn't dare to be presumptuous. They had to silently put away the things in their hands that were about to hit people, and then put on a flattering smile to the people in front of them.
Song's father and Ye's mother never said another word about Song Yun's divorce. After all, although they knew that many people in the Shi family had become high-ranking officials, what did this have to do with their family?
The high-ranking officials were relatives of the Shi family, not members of their own family. Although it is said that it is easier to get things done if you have someone in the court, the fact that Shi Xuanzhu still doesn't have many relatives who can rely on them is enough to show what kind of people they are.
It would be better to just get a divorce and let Song Yun hang out with these sons-in-law, especially since they've moved their businesses back home and received a lot of preferential policies. If she doesn't follow them now, when will she?
Besides, giving timely assistance is much better than adding icing on the cake. Although the other party does not need this charcoal, it is a stove after all, so just burn it if it can be used.
If Song Yun is willing to marry a woman again and give them a big fat boy, wouldn't their Song family have an heir?
Thinking of Song's parents in this way, the ingratiating smile on her face became even more flattering, leaving Song Yun speechless.
Fortunately, Song Yun's divorce was not stopped, and his divorce agreement was sent to the Shi family.
Shi Xuanzhu originally thought that Song Yun was just throwing a tantrum, but this time the hot search and the divorce agreement sent by Song Yun made Shi Xuanzhu finally understand that Song Yun was serious this time!
Now Shi Xuanzhu couldn't sit still. Without Song Yun, where could he find such a perfect wife? What's more, the energy and cost he had invested in Song Yun was already unbearable for him. Asking him to start from scratch at this time, wouldn't that be like asking him to die?
Thinking of this, Shi Xuanzhu immediately rushed to Song Yun's side, apologizing and confessing his love. Song Yun was also a little reluctant, but thinking about Shi Xuanzhu's cheating behavior, and thinking about her brother who was still trapped in the emotional entanglement of those four men...
Comparing the two, Song Yun closed her eyes and made up her mind, saying that she was going to divorce Shi Xuanzhu.
"--If you don't agree to a divorce, I don't mind us going to court, but then you'll probably have to face the same lawyers I mentioned to you."
Song Yun said seriously.
Shi Xuanzhu refused to give up. Even though he was frightened by the resumes of each lawyer, he finally decided to go back to the Shi family to see if the divorce could be avoided.
After all, if they really divorce, it will definitely be a huge blow to Shi Xuanzhu's career, and the Shi family also knows the importance of a good and virtuous wife.
Many of the Shi family members' wives were unable to provide 100% support to the Shi family at home because they were not chosen well, which resulted in their original careers not reaching their intended goals, which made many of the Shi family members feel regretful.
Naturally, they envied other members of the Shi family who had chosen good partners. Shi Xuanzhu was originally one of those who was envied, but now his partner wanted to divorce him. After mocking him privately, the Shi family naturally offered their full support.
Aren’t they usually occupying so many positions in various industries just for this moment?
However, they had just attacked Ye Wangxing and his group, and before they could launch a counterattack...
Then they heard a thunderbolt in the clear sky.
The current highest-ranking official in the Shi family is also the eldest son of the Shi family - he has been placed under double supervision.
Afterwards, many members of aristocratic families were also brought down. After all, they originally became officials with the dream of doing good for their families. Naturally, after becoming officials, they would commit many illegal operations just to make things convenient for their families.
Originally these things were nothing, but if they were not weighed, they would not matter, but once they were weighed, they were out of control.
Many members of the Shi family were dragged down by these trivial matters that they originally looked down upon.
The Shi family was subsequently besieged by political enemies and other enemies, and suffered heavy losses in a short period of time.
Just when the Shi family was in turmoil, where was Shi Xuanzhu, the culprit and the source of a series of chain reactions?
——He was punished by his own father and is now being locked up in the ancestral hall of the old house to atone for his sins.
Let’s not talk about the psychological activities, it’s too disgusting to talk about them, so Ye Wangxing chose to block them directly.
Seeing Shi Xuanzhu who clearly had an emergency helpline number on him but still didn't call it, and instead sincerely believed that he was at fault, Ye Wangxing shook his head, sighed a few times, and then looked at the completed task and returned to the system company.
However, after landing, Ye Wangxing ignored Yijiu who wanted to talk to him, and ran towards Yiqi with a determined look.
Yiqi noticed something was wrong: "..."
What are their excellent employees going to do? Finally dissatisfied with the salary the boss gave them, they plan to kill a system to make an example of others.
Fortunately, Ye Wangxing's words came at the right time, which made Yiqi give up the idea of kicking him back to Yijiu.
But Ye Wangxing's words still shocked Yiqi.
"...So you mean to ask whether the host and the system can be in love, and what Yijiu likes?"
Yiqi summarized Yijiu's words, and Ye Wangxing's cheeks turned slightly red, and he nodded dazedly like a puppy that had been exposed to the sun for too long.
Then he heard Yiqi's soul questioning.
"——No, you two aren't together?"
Ye Wangxing: "...When have we ever been together?"
Yiqi looked at Ye Wangxing, and Ye Wangxing looked at Yiqi, both of them had the same confusion in their eyes.
Fortunately, Qi Die finally sent Yijiu's preferences and the company's regulations to Ye Wangxing to read, but before Ye Wangxing finished reading, Yijiu hurried over from behind and started discussing the situation in the next world with Ye Wangxing.
Judging from Yijiu's tone, the next world would be quite tricky, so Ye Wangxing didn't delay any longer and hurriedly followed Yijiu away. Only Yiqi, who saw the look in Yijiu's eyes before he left, silently raised a question mark in his heart.
"... Is it possible that there's a database in 19's module that allows for romance even without the system? No, no, no, how is that possible? This has almost become a factory standard."
Yiqi thought about it, and deleted this guess with a smile, not knowing that he had just brushed past the truth.
Yijiu and Ye Wangxing have already started discussing the script.
Ye Wangxing didn't even have time to read the follow-up of the previous world. At most, he knew that Song Yun finally got a safe divorce, and then he was led by Yijiu to enter the script of the next world.
——Then Yijiu’s model appeared again on the bodies sculpted by Ye Wangxing.
Ye Wangxing suddenly felt a little frightened when looking at the identity setting in front of him.
Although this time the modeling does not have Yijiu's silver hair, but... their faces and bodies are all Yijiu's data!
But the worst thing is not this. The worst thing is that he mixed a little of his own thoughts into the script setting this time.
——This time he took the initiative!
Gu Yan walked angrily on the way back to the dormitory. The cold wind blew across his cheeks, but it couldn't blow away the irritation in his heart. His mind kept replaying the scene of his quarrel with Mu Bai.
"Why are you always like this? I told you I don't like coriander, why do you always buy coriander buns?" Mu Bai's voice was filled with grievance, and his eyes were slightly red.
"I already said it, I just forgot!" Gu Yan was a little annoyed, but more helpless, "I just want to be good to you!"
"But you never listen to what I want!" Mu Bai's voice rose a little, attracting the attention of passers-by.
Thinking of this, Gu Yan clenched his fists, a simmering anger welling up inside him. He'd clearly been working so hard, so why didn't Mu Bai see his dedication? It was just a small matter, so why couldn't he be understanding and considerate? With this thought, he quickened his pace, as if that would put all his worries behind him.
However, the moment he opened the dormitory door, Gu Yan was stunned.
A handsome young man with black hair and black eyes was standing in front of the desk. In the summer, he was only wearing a black T-shirt, revealing his extremely beautiful muscle lines.
His arms are toned and have smooth lines, which make him look neither too bulky nor too strong. His waist and abdomen are also perfect, with distinct abdominal muscles but not exaggerated, and a slender and strong waist.
His face didn't look extremely handsome, but the slightly drooping corners of his eyes and plump lips made up his facial features with an indescribable meaning.
This was his roommate, but they had never had much communication before. Gu Yan only knew that the other party was quite popular in the school.
And now Gu Yan seemed to know why the other party was so popular.
Now his popular roommate has two bags on his desk and two lunch boxes nearby.
Gu Yan's gaze fell on the lunch boxes - in both lunch boxes lay a heart-shaped poached egg, golden and attractive, emitting a faint fragrance.
Before Gu Yan could remember when he could cook in the dormitory, he heard his roommate's phone vibrate twice.
He watched his roommate pick up his phone, his fingers tapping on the screen quickly, a happy smile on his face.
Like a puppy about to meet its owner.
Before Gu Yan could sigh that his roommate also had someone he liked, he saw his roommate send the same sentence twice.
"I'll bring you food right away~"
"I'll bring you food right away~"
Gu Yan: ...
Why did he send the same sentence twice, and...
Why did he feel that these two were different people?
Gu Yan broke out in a cold sweat instantly. He no longer thought about whether his boyfriend would eat coriander or not. He couldn't help but ask Ye Wangxing.
"Are you... delivering food to the same person?"
The handsome young man raised his head and saw Gu Yan. There was no panic on his face. Instead, he spoke naturally.
"No."
Gu Yan breathed a sigh of relief.
"One is for my fiancé, and the other is for my childhood sweetheart."
Gu Yan almost choked to death on his own saliva.
