In the end, Yan Mingzhong agreed to Yan Shengxiao's request and actually arranged a helicopter for him.
When the helicopter flew over the sea, Yan Shengxiao kissed the urn with a devout gesture, and then slowly scattered the ashes onto the sea surface.
"Is it done, young master?" The pilot asked with some concern when he saw that Yan Shengxiao had finished scattering the ashes but was still clinging to the door and unwilling to close it.
Yan Shengxiao looked back and surprisingly showed a relieved smile, but his eyes were full of determination.
The pilot had a bad feeling. Before he could react, Yan Shengxiao let go of his hand, jumped, and disappeared into the endless sea along with Gu Qingqiu's ashes.
"Baby, I've said it before, I'll love you for the rest of my life." Yan Shengxiao closed his eyes contentedly. He thought, being able to die together with Gu Qingqiu would be a kind of happiness.
"Young Master!" the pilot exclaimed in shock, but it was too late.
Yan Shengxiao, the eldest son of the Yan family, chose to die for love, which caused a huge uproar in the local area.
Yan Mingzhong looked as if he had aged ten years overnight and fell ill and could not get out of bed.
The Yan Group was plunged into a new internal strife, with several shareholders fighting each other, but in the end no one benefited. The Yan Group's decades of hard work was ultimately destroyed.
But Gu Qingqiu will never know any of this.
...
Male Protagonist System: [Host? Host? Are you alright?]
Gu Qingqiu was awakened from her daze.
Male Protagonist System: [Host, you have returned to the standby space station.]
Gu Qingqiu looked at the endless sea of stars around her and fell silent.
Male Protagonist System: [Host, this is an update on the results of the previous world. World Difficulty: E-rank, Gold Coins: 100, Life Points: 2 days. Please confirm.]
Gu Qingqiu regained some of her composure, but she looked exhausted.
Gu Qingqiu: [How come it's only been two days? I remember I had almost two months left when I left?]
Male Protagonist System: [I also remember reminding the host that using the auto-play function would reduce their accumulated health points to some extent.]
Gu Qingqiu: [That's such a waste... When the Female Supporting Character System was guiding me, it would often give me six or seven days' worth of life points. Now, after traveling through this world with you, and completing such a difficult task, I'm practically skinned alive, and they only give me two days' worth?]
Male Lead System: [So, host, don't go through all this trouble anymore. Just leave. Yan Shengxiao, like the male leads in other worlds, is just a passerby in your life. Host, you've experienced so many worlds before, you must know that, right? It's not like you haven't seen male leads more outstanding than Yan Shengxiao, it's just that this time you were indeed a bit impulsive.]
Gu Qingqiu: [Sigh, I acted impulsively. This is my first relationship... never mind... let's not talk about this anymore. But I wonder if Yan Shengxiao will be sad after I leave? Will he miss me? If I'm gone, will he continue to be with Bai Yuxia according to the original storyline?]
Male Protagonist System: [Host, stop overthinking. You should adjust your state and enter the next world as soon as possible. If you really can't let go and need to view the previous world, you'll need to use a certain amount of life points to activate this function.]
Gu Qingqiu: [...Then forget it, thank you. Two days is better than losing money. I still remember why I came here. I want to go back, back to my original world.]
Male Protagonist System: [Hmm, it's good that the host is aware of this. So, when does the host plan to go to the next world? I must remind the host that staying in the standby space station for more than an hour will deduct a corresponding amount of time from your health points.]
Gu Qingqiu: [How much time do we have left to stay in the standby station?]
Male Protagonist System: [42 minutes remaining.]
Gu Qingqiu: [Okay, let's teleport when there's one minute left.]
Male Protagonist System: [Okay, host, you should get some rest now.]
Gu Qingqiu: [By the way, I have another question.]
Male Protagonist System: [Host, please speak.]
Gu Qingqiu: [You said before that when I leave a world, the male lead's attraction buff to me will automatically wear off, and I won't like Yan Shengxiao as much anymore.]
Male Protagonist System: [Theoretically, that's correct. Does the host have any questions?]
Gu Qingqiu: [I think I still... like him.]
The male protagonist's system did not respond, perhaps because it was looking up solutions. It reappeared about three or four minutes later.
Male Protagonist System: [Host, I checked the information, and this is a normal phenomenon. When you spend too much time in contact with a central figure in a particular world, this kind of aftereffect occurs. It's not just you experiencing this; other hosts have also been insisting on returning to their mission worlds.]
Gu Qingqiu: [Did they succeed? What price did they pay?]
The male protagonist system: [Some succeeded, some simply wanted to go back and visit, and made some sacrifices in exchange. Some wanted to stay forever, but the God System doesn't do charity; it will turn them into other NPCs and release them back into the mission world.]
Gu Qingqiu: [Is there any solution? Will my current state affect my ability to complete the mission in the next world?]
Male Protagonist System: [Yes, our system shop sells Forget-Me-Not Grass, which can reduce the effects of any buffs imposed by the central figure in the world.]
Gu Qingqiu: [How much?]
Male Protagonist System: [One Forget-Me-Not herb costs 4399 gold coins.]
Gu Qingqiu: 【…So expensive?】
She only has 100 gold coins in this world, and with her experiences from several previous worlds, she now only has 1,800 gold coins in total.
Male Protagonist System: [Host, don't worry, this is just the general retail price. The system will give you one free for your first use. If you are satisfied with the effect, you can purchase it again later. Would you like to use it now?]
Gu Qingqiu: [Yes, thank you.]
Male Protagonist System: [Okay, now using the item for the host: Forget-Me-Not Grass.]
Gu Qingqiu felt a cool sensation run through her body, and then her emotions calmed down.
She tried to recall Yan Shengxiao, and felt a void in her heart, devoid of love, sadness, and reluctance—a feeling that was hard to describe.
Male Protagonist System: [How are you feeling now, host?]
Gu Qingqiu: [Okay, thank you. Please teleport me when there's one minute left on your cooldown, as we agreed before.]
Male Protagonist System: [Okay, host.]
Then Gu Qingqiu closed her eyes, briefly emptying her mind.
After about several tens of minutes, Gu Qingqiu heard the notification from the male protagonist system.
Male Protagonist System: [Host, wake up, it's time to teleport.]
Gu Qingqiu slowly opened her eyes.
