Chapter 104 Gu He: How could I possibly be like this?!
Yue Yiyue put the notebook back in its place: "It's nothing."
"Let's start searching this room. Is there anything else we've searched?" Yue Yiyue said calmly, then handed a piece of paper to Gu He: "Check if this is useful."
"In this room... um... Yi Yue, do you know whose room this is?" Gu He cautiously probed.
With her intelligence, Yiyue must have already figured out that these places were all designed to sow discord between them.
It's a pity that she's just Gu He now, otherwise I could hold Yi Yue, stroke her back, feel her trembling, and apologize properly.
It's just because I love Yitiao so much that I had to capture so many adorable moments of him, as a source of inspiration for my clones when they can't see him.
If Yiyue knew the true purpose of these things, he would definitely feel even more sorry for himself.
After all, Yi Yue is always so soft-hearted.
Remembering what that clone had done to the photos in the room, Gu He momentarily wanted to find an excuse; she could have used any other Qiu Lai.
She didn't want to finally cut in line to see Yiyue, only to steal a sip of his milk tea, be carried by him for a short distance, and then be labeled a pervert.
But then again, Gu He's gaze fell intensely on Yue Yiyue's exposed skin, and the feeling of touching it before began to surface in her mind.
"I know." Yue Yiyue nodded confidently: "Of course I know whose room this is."
Yue Yiyue stood up and opened a drawer next to him: "But knowing it won't do any good."
"I still haven't figured out how to proceed to the next level."
At this point, Yue Yiyue continued rummaging through boxes and cabinets.
With calloused hands, Yue Yiyue carefully explored the contents of the drawer. He pulled out a piece of paper with distorted characters that were not written in this world.
But Yue Yiyue still easily understood the words: "I have locked greed away somewhere. After finding that rule, the next test is yours. I look forward to your answer sheet."
The paper disappeared from Yue Yiyue's hand in the next instant, turning into a fork.
Looking down, I saw another familiar plate.
It was the tableware from the group-buying package she purchased when she came into this world.
Because it was his first meal here, Yue Yiyue made a point of remembering it.
It turns out that Gu Nanqiu had already appeared by her side at that time.
Then again, it would be strange if it didn't exist.
Yue Yiyue pulled the plate out: "Seeing this reminded me of something. I always feel that your face is very familiar."
She touched the edge of the plate, lost in thought, "Being a monster must be great; it's so easy to preserve plates from getting moldy."
The other drawer contained the books that Yue Yiyue had packed up and sold when he graduated.
It contains a few novels that I like to read.
There was also a huge box under the table, containing the clothes that Yue Yiyue had washed and discarded.
Only then did Yue Yiyue notice that there were also his old clothes on the bed, piled up like a bird's nest, all wrinkled and crumpled.
It looks like it's being overused.
The things in this room are really more and more interesting the more you look at them.
Have you ever worked as a waiter/waitress?
"Or perhaps, you've collected recyclables?"
"I've been the owner of a small restaurant, or a resident of a high-end residential community."
With each sentence, Yue Yiyue took a step forward, finally stopping in front of Gu He: "I'll give you one chance. Think it over before you answer."
Gu He was forced back a step by Yue Yiyue, and leaned against the wall, looking down at the person in front of her who seemed to be experiencing a slight emotional fluctuation.
For a moment, I wasn't sure what the other person wanted to hear.
But when he met those eyes, the excuse that had been on the tip of his tongue veered off course: "I'm sorry..."
With her arms around Yue Yiyue's neck, Gu He's ordinary face began to subtly change. Then, she leaned down slightly and placed her lips on Yue Yiyue's neck and shoulder, rubbing against the soft flesh, and said in a muffled, coquettish voice, "I missed you so much."
They didn't say why they came here, nor did they say who they were.
How could Yue Yiyue not understand her little word game?
Normally, we would just turn a blind eye and let it go.
But right now, Yue Yiyue doesn't really want to.
"Gu He." Yue Yiyue shoved the person away: "You answered wrong."
After leaving those words, Yue Yiyue's eyes darkened, he sighed softly, and turned to walk towards the side of the room.
Gu He was left standing there, somewhat bewildered.
A leap... I remember now...

Yue Yiyue pushed open the door and looked at the warmly decorated room, with a knitted scarf on the sofa.
The moment I saw it, past memories surfaced.
Director Qiu is the third incarnation of Gu Nanqiu that Yue Yiyue officially encounters.
They spent a very pleasant autumn together.
Everything here was bought and assembled by myself, bit by bit.
At that time, she had no memory of her first life. She only heard Director Qiu say that she looked like her goddess of inspiration. Looking at her own face, she had a desire to create.
So she stayed here briefly for an autumn.
Similarly, she also received a generous salary to support her university studies.
Later, Director Qiu unilaterally broke the contract, so Yue Yiyue was sent away before he could finish knitting the scarf.
Yue Yiyue touched the cup on the cabinet next to him; he had made it himself.
The dreamcatcher next to it was something I found myself after searching for three hours while I saw Director Qiu taking sleeping pills.
The soft pillow on the chair was probably something I bought when I went out on one of my trips.
Even the colorful blanket on the sofa was something I dragged Director Qiu out to buy one rainy afternoon.
This was somewhat unexpected for Yue Yiyue; she had originally thought it would be her "mother's" living room.
They also wanted to deduce "Mom's" daily life from the traces in the living room.
A hint of regret flashed in his eyes; the time he spent with Director Qiu was indeed very pleasant.
Qiu played the guitar and sang the song she wrote for Yue Yiyue.
They would also hurriedly stop Yue Yiyue when he was about to go to the kitchen, saying that someone would bring the food later.
Yue Yiyue walked to where Qiu kept her things and pulled out a somewhat out-of-place piece of paper: "Yiyue, by the time you see this, I will have already been forced back into my original body by them. From now on, Qiu will probably no longer exist in this world. I'm sorry..."
Skipping over the boring words at the beginning, Yue Yiyue turned directly to the last page: "Remember, we cannot coexist. If you want to save me, don't look back on the road ahead. As long as you don't look back, you can get to where you want to be."
Gu He stood at the door, watching Yue Yiyue holding a blank piece of paper, lost in thought. She wanted to approach him, but hesitated because of Yue Yiyue's attitude towards her earlier.
"I can't turn back." Yue Yiyue strictly followed the rules, looking ahead at the purple door that had appeared out of nowhere.
“A leap…” Gu He began pitifully.
"I don't want to hear you talk right now, shut your mouth."
Yue Yiyue glanced at the first sentence on the paper again. There was no coquettishness like Gu Nanqiu's, and no attempt to ask him for any benefits.
She didn't subtly reveal her true intentions afterward.
Even the last line, "Don't look back," lacks credibility.
But the door still appeared before them.
Yue Yiyue beckoned to Gu He with his finger, and Gu He stood there humming a few words.
"If you're not coming, I'll just leave." Yue Yiyue took a step forward, and as soon as she finished speaking, she heard hurried footsteps behind her.
“Yi Yue…” Gu He gently scratched Yue Yi Yue’s palm and said in a familiar, coquettish tone, “I was wrong… Give me another chance, and this time I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer.”
“We’ll walk together, hold hands tightly, and if anything happens…” After a subtle pause, Yue Yiyue said calmly as always, “Just run, don’t worry about me.”
After saying this, Gu He fell silent, and her eyes became unfocused.
"Hmm... but I absolutely, positively will not leave you alone in the same place." Gu He was silent for a while, then she added.
Even in her first life, when she was unaware of her own feelings, she protected Yi Yue very well.
If it weren't for Gluttony's later instigation, she would absolutely, positively, positively never have attacked Yi Yue.
"Yes, I know, just don't stab me in the back," Yue Yiyue suddenly added.
Grain...
————
The two walked hand in hand towards the outside, where there was only one road.
At the end of the road was still a purple door.
The moment Gu He saw the door, it was as if she sensed something.
"Yi Yue, it seems I have to go back." Gu He looked down at her hands, which were gradually becoming transparent.
"We're going back to our original form," Yue Yiyue seemed to realize something. "Thank you for accompanying me on this journey."
"If you hadn't been with me, I probably wouldn't have made it past the first hurdle. Thank you for your hard work."
Gu He watched as her hands became more and more transparent, and felt a little sad, but she quickly thanked herself.
She felt that life was wonderful again.
"Yes, you're welcome."
"See you later." Yue Yiyue waved and gestured for Gu He to bend down.
A light, fleeting kiss landed on Gu He's lips.
The next second, Yue Yiyue nudged Gu He, refusing Gu He's invitation to get closer: "Go on."
————
Standing in front of the last purple door, Yue Yiyue took a deep breath, his hands trembling slightly with nervousness.
What's behind the door?
What was the final answer sheet?
Will the exam questions be very difficult?
Is this considered the final, most challenging question?
After standing still with his eyes closed for three seconds, Yue Yiyue pushed open the door in front of him.
There are no monsters.
There was nothing else.
It's a very ordinary entryway with an orange light shining from above.
Next to it was a shoe cabinet with several pairs of shoes on it.
There are two hooks for hanging keys on the side, with a bunch of keys hanging on them.
Yue Yiyue subconsciously touched his pocket; it contained another key.
The sound of the elevator running behind me made a slight noise.
Remembering the rules he had seen before, Yue Yiyue did not turn around.
She bent down to change her shoes, hung the key on a hook to the side, and closed the door.
They walked into the house.
The familiar room decor, the photos hanging on the wall.
Everything was so much like the house they rented near the school.
But Yue Yiyue knew that wasn't the case.
This house is the temporary residence that Yue Yiyue encountered in the instance.
Because this dungeon takes a very long time to complete, Yue Yiyue had to use some of his points to exchange for some items to decorate the place a bit so that Nan Qiu could stay here more comfortably.
The phone on the table vibrated slightly; a new message popped up.
"Yue Yiyue, hand over that monster, and we'll be able to get out of here alive. Don't try to fool us anymore."
"I saw with my own eyes that He killed Er Mao yesterday with His powerful tentacles!!!"
