"His kindness to you is only out of a sense of responsibility and to save face, not because he likes or loves you. He would treat other people the same way."
"You don't like him, you don't like him, you don't like him..."
"You don't like him...?"
As Zhou Siyu tried to convince himself, he gradually lost confidence. Did he really not like Yu Wei?
He didn't know when it started, but he became infatuated with the light that waited for him to come home, with the person who waited for him to come home, with the person who silently bore his anger, and with the person who clumsily but carefully pulled the blanket up for him.
He started to care about Yu Wei. He would sulk when he saw Yu Wei talking to others, he would feel annoyed when he saw Yu Wei and Chu Yunmu having a warm moment in the kitchen, and he would feel jealous when he saw Yu Wei arguing with his superiors for the sake of his subordinates.
Why did it turn out this way? He didn't understand.
Zhou Siyu became increasingly agitated, scratched her head, flagged down a car, and randomly found a hotel to stay in.
In all his years of life, Zhou Siyu had never experienced anything so complicated and tangled. His mind was a complete mess, with no clue whatsoever.
Just as he was staring blankly at the ceiling, his communicator beeped with a notification from Lin Ling requesting a connection.
"Siyu, are you asleep?"
"Not yet, is something the matter, Uncle Lin?"
"Um... Xiao Wei's father is sick, and I can't leave. If you need to pack some things, could you please make a trip there?"
Lin Ling's voice sounded much older, and her tone was full of fatigue.
"It's no trouble at all."
"And about your marriage with Xiao Wei, I'm sorry, I didn't even get to hold a wedding for you two." Lin Ling sighed. "According to the regulations, you can apply for a forced dissolution without waiting for the system's time limit."
"I understand, thank you Uncle Lin."
"Well, that's all for now. Please go and collect Xiao Wei's things."
Lin Ling sat on the edge of the bed, head down, and gently took Yu Zhen's hand, which was outside the blanket.
They taught Yu Wei benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, trustworthiness, loyalty, and filial piety, but forgot to teach him how to protect himself and how to handle his emotions.
Both he and Yu Zhen were very unsuccessful fathers.
In the dead of night, in the deserted control room of the life monitoring system, the green button suddenly flashed a few times.
A line of small text popped up on the large screen: "Yu Wei's health has been re-detected as 10, his health status is low..."
"You... like Yunmu, don't you..."
"Zhou Siyu, get up!"
"Stop arguing, why would a grown man like you bother with a little dog?"
"Don't grab it! Those are milk-flavored steamed buns!"
"Zhou Siyu, I'm leaving..."
"Don't go!"
"Yuwei!"
Zhou Siyu sat up abruptly, panting heavily, her mind filled with the image of Yu Wei turning and leaving.
Yu Wei has been on many dangerous missions and suffered countless injuries, but he always came back. This time should be the same.
Why? Why didn't he come back?
