Chapter 129: The Academic Prodigy's Dark Moonlight (40)
Liu's father handed his daughter over to Gu Sheng.
"Gu Sheng, I am now entrusting my most precious daughter to you. You must protect her well and not let her suffer any harm or injustice, otherwise I will never let you off the hook."
"Okay, Dad, I understand. I will protect her with my life."
When Liu's father left, he was both happy and unhappy; his emotions were too complicated. He walked to Liu's mother's side and put his arm around her shoulder.
The two watched as the child they had raised became a partner with another good child. Grandma Gu, standing nearby, was also very happy. Her son meeting Xiaoyue was a blessing from her family in her past life, and the greatest compensation life could give to her grandson. Even if she were to pass away in the future, she would not worry.
The wedding vows were exchanged, the wedding rings were exchanged, and the ceremony proceeded step by step. Wen Wan felt as if she were in a dream, being guided by Gu Sheng through everything. The two kissed under the watchful eyes of everyone, completing a lifelong commitment witnessed by the world.
"I love you." This was the most beautiful sound Wen Wan had ever heard. Wen Wan replied, "I love you too."
Everything should have gone smoothly, but the system suddenly screamed, making Wen Wan's head ache. Then she saw someone rush onto the stage, holding a gun and pointing it directly at Gu Sheng.
Wen Wan didn't know how she acted; she only remembered pushing away the stunned Gu Sheng with all her might, then feeling a sharp pain in her heart, and her whole body ached so much that she became blurry.
Fortunately, the system quickly took effect, and Wen Wan felt the pain slowly disappear, but the feeling of bleeding still lingered. Her whole body began to feel cold, and blood was seeping from her throat. She stared blankly at Gu Sheng, who was running towards her, completely losing her composure as he held her in his arms.
"Ah Yuan—"
Liu Meiyun, standing to the side, was in a frenzy. The gun in her hand fell to the ground, and she was then restrained by security guards. She looked at Gu Sheng and cried, "It wasn't me, it wasn't me, I didn't want to, you forced me to do it, Gu Sheng, you forced me to do it, I didn't..."
Liu's parents rushed over anxiously. Grandma Gu fainted from fright. Wen Wan was held in Gu Sheng's arms. "Don't be afraid. I'll take you to the hospital right away. Don't be afraid. You'll be alright. Trust me."
Wen Wan looked at Gu Sheng and realized that Gu Sheng was truly terrified because he was crying, and his tears were burning hot on her face.
"I……"
"I'll be fine."
"Don't...don't worry."
After saying that, Wen Wan lost consciousness. Her last conscious thought was of an ambulance siren...
——
Wen Wan died without even having the chance to leave a will.
She never expected that she really didn't have any protagonist's halo at all. Liu Meiyun's shot was really accurate, hitting her directly in the heart. She was pronounced dead before she even got to the hospital.
If this were someone with the protagonist's halo, they would definitely have survived until the emergency treatment, and then the ending would be a happy one.
Her soul followed Gu Sheng, watching him hold her body and howl and cry in pain. It was a sight Wen Wan had never seen before, making her heart feel as if it were being torn apart by a thousand knives.
"Ah Yuan—"
"Wake up, don't leave me alone, wake up..."
She tried to touch Gu Sheng, but her body passed right through Gu Sheng's body. "I'm fine."
Gu Sheng paused slightly and glanced around.
"I just heard A-Yuan's voice. A-Yuan, was that you calling me? Don't leave me."
Wen Wan was surprised, thinking that Gu Sheng could really hear her voice, so she called out a few more times, but there was no response at all.
[Host, you are currently in a soul state. You must return to the system space with me as soon as possible to recuperate, otherwise your soul will be damaged.] The system said, and to persuade the host to go with it, it continued, [Don't worry, I will prepare a new body for you, and you will still be able to see Gu Sheng then.]
Liu Meiyun was truly an unexpected variable. The system clearly saw that the mission progress was almost full, but then she suddenly appeared and killed the host's body. The readers quickly went crazy, and the reader satisfaction plummeted, dropping by dozens of points.
What on earth is going on?
"You're not lying to me?" Wen Wan asked nervously, afraid that her system was joking.
[Of course, this is a perk for mission takers. Being able to fake death and get a new body to enjoy life, and incidentally continue completing missions if necessary, makes us at the Transmigration Bureau the most humane organization, with amazing benefits.] So don't try to change it so easily in the future; that's just too much.
"Then hurry up." Wen Wan wanted to come back to life immediately and tell Gu Sheng that she was not dead. She didn't want to see Gu Sheng cry, nor did she want to see the people she cared about be sad.
[Good host.]
Wen Wan's soul was sucked into a space.
...
Wen Wan thought the system's promise of a quick recovery would come true, but little did she know that it would actually take five years.
Five years? ??
The cucumber dish had gone cold. She wanted to leave countless times, but she couldn't leave that space.
Wen Wan was furious. She questioned the system's parents three times a day, cursed the system as a dog, and wanted to switch systems every day.
When she regained her body, Wen Wan looked at the face and body that were exactly the same as her original one, and her feelings were complicated.
To be honest, having a body just like her original one is something to be happy about, but how is she going to use this body to get close to Gu Sheng?
Gu Sheng doesn't even know her, okay?
The system, seemingly oblivious to its host's face shrouded in black aura, displayed the message: "Host, I've already processed your ID card. The situation is critical. The readers' anger has exploded because of your death at the wedding, and the mission in this world is about to fail."
Wen Yan: "..."
Whose fault is this?
Whose fault is this?
She's the one who got the biggest misunderstanding. This bastard is the most unreliable system in the world.
Wen Wan stood at the entrance of Mengxin Technology, holding a blank cell phone.
The system seemed to feel bad about blocking the way this time, so it said, "[After investigation by the Transmigration Bureau, it has been found that some bugs have appeared in this world, and some characters are experiencing problems.]"
"What's the problem?"
[In the rebirth story, some characters experience inexplicable plot holes, such as Liu Meiyun. In her previous life, she was sent to a mental hospital by Gu Sheng. When she was reborn, she discovered that the Lu family had gone bankrupt ahead of time, and she was destined for tragedy. So she went mad and wanted to kill Gu Sheng to stop her fate.]
Wen Yan: "..."
"Besides Liu Meiyun, are there any others?"
The system thought for a moment and decided to tell the truth: "[There's another one, the male lead Gu Sheng. He's also a reincarnated person, and much earlier than Liu Meiyun. According to the information gathered by the Transmigration Bureau, Gu Sheng was reincarnated around the time of his college entrance exam.]"
Wen Yan: "..."
She needs to calm down and clear her head.
She needs to think carefully about what's going on; she feels like she's going crazy.
