Birth, aging, sickness, and death are inevitable for everyone.
Xu's mother lived to be eighty years old, but her physical functions declined, and she left this world forever.
In the three years that followed, Chi's parents also left one after another.
After seeing off the three elders, Chi Yu and Xu Nian had both entered their sixties.
At this time, Chi Che was already a father of two children.
Watching Chi Che's lively family, Xu Nian moved closer to Chi Yu, rested her head on his shoulder, and the two of them sat in the hammock, swaying slowly.
"Chi Yu, do you regret it?" Xu Nian's face was etched with the marks of time, and with the passage of time, she became more and more gentle.
"Wife, one shouldn't be too greedy. Having you is enough for me." Chi Yu wasn't envious of Chi Che at all. He had already firmly grasped what he wanted most in his life, and nothing else mattered.
"Chi Yu, I love you." Over the long period of time they spent together, Xu Nian's feelings of helplessness at the beginning gradually transformed into liking, and now they have finally fermented into a deep love.
A few seconds of silence followed. Chi Yu turned his head stiffly, like a belated power button; it took him two seconds to react.
"Niannian, you're finally willing to respond to me." Chi Yu's hands trembled with excitement; he had been waiting for this sentence for a long time.
He thought he would never have the chance to hear it in his lifetime.
"Niannian, could you say it to me again?" Tears welled up in Chi Yu's eyes, and the joy he felt at achieving his wish made Xu Nian feel heartbroken.
"Silly boy, I should have told you this sooner." Xu Nian wiped away the tears that were about to spill from Chi Yu's eyes.
She leaned close to his ear and whispered several times, "Chi Yu, I love you."
"Niannian, I love you too. Chi Yu loves Xu Nian the most." Chi Yu never hid his love for Xu Nian. He always told her that he loved her.
Seeing his older brother and sister-in-law still so affectionate despite their age, Chi Che quickly went to find his wife.
Out of sight, out of mind; he's had enough of this dog food.
"Niannian, let's go home!" Chi Yu said suddenly.
"Okay! Let's go home." The home they were referring to was their small apartment.
Upon returning to the cozy little home he had built himself, Chi Yu first took a shower, tidied his hair, and changed into some presentable clothes.
After admiring himself in the mirror, he asked Xu Nian, "Wife, do I look handsome today?"
"He's very handsome." Xu Nian nodded and smiled, but as she smiled, tears began to well up in her eyes.
"Wife, don't cry. You know I can't bear to part with you." Chi Yu helplessly wiped away Xu Nian's tears, pressed his forehead against hers, and their eyes met. They didn't say anything, but their eyes said it all.
"Can't you wait for me?" Xu Nian asked unhappily.
"Wife, you're making things difficult for me." Chi Yu wanted to wait, but he knew it wouldn't work.
"I told you to wait while I changed my clothes." Xu Nian pinched Chi Yu's thin cheek, went to the wardrobe to take out the clothes that had been prepared in advance, and went into the bathroom.
After showering and washing her hair, Xu Nian put on the purple cheongsam and went out with a hairdryer.
Chi Yu dried Xu Nian's hair, styled it, opened the drawer of the dressing table, took out the cosmetics, and began to do Xu Nian's makeup.
Looking at his masterpiece, Chi Yu smiled with satisfaction. "Wife, you're still as beautiful as ever."
“You’re just as handsome as you were back then.” Xu Nian looked at the two of them in the dressing mirror, her eyes smiling.
She thought about all the little things between them and realized how fast time had flown by; in the blink of an eye, a lifetime would be over.
"Honey, what do you think that world would be like?"
"It should be similar to what's shown in TV dramas!"
"Honey, I'm scared."
"Don't be afraid, I'm always here."
"Wife."
"I am here."
...
The talking in the room stopped at some point.
Upon receiving Chi Yu's last message, Chi Che's eyes reddened, and he hugged his wife, who was standing right next to him, and burst into tears.
Chi Yu and Xu Nian were buried together, and the photos on their tombstones were all of the two of them together.
Looking at the person already buried in the ground, and then at Xu Nian's final blessing to her, Mu Qingqing, whose hair had turned white, couldn't help but cover her mouth and cry.
Chi Che comforted her, "Aunt Mu, don't be too sad. The two of them are watching us from the other side!"
"I'll only cry this once." Mu Qingqing placed the red rose in front of the tombstone, and when she stood up again, she had already wiped away her tears.
They'll probably be happy together in their next life too!
...
"Ding! Mission points are being calculated... The host has successfully survived this mission and is enjoying his old age. Reward: 10,000 points."
"Ding! The host has actively performed good deeds in the mission world and has been rewarded with 100,000 points."
Xu Nian opened her eyes in a daze and heard a series of notifications that points had been credited to her account.
"Yuanbao, you're awake?" Xu Nian looked at the lively Yuanbao with surprise.
"Yes, host, I'm back." Yuanbao's tears streamed down his face.
"Yuanbao, did the main system punish you?" Xu Nian asked worriedly.
"The main system didn't punish me, thank you host." Yuanbao rubbed against Xu Nian's cheek, moved to tears.
"Yuanbao, don't cry. Crying isn't cute. You should be happy for me. I'm earning a lot more points than before." Xu Nian used to consider many things when doing tasks to earn points.
Now everything is done from the heart, and points are easily obtained.
“Host.” Yuanbao’s tears were forced back. The host was still the same host, loving money but with a good attitude.
"Alright, I'm going to do my mission now. You stay in the system space and watch the house, okay?" Xu Nian patted Yuanbao's head and entered the mission world in the blink of an eye.
"Host, I promise I'll take good care of the house." Yuanbao took two steps after chasing after the host, then plopped down on the ground and burst into tears.
"Shut up, you idiot." The main system rubbed its head, which was sore from the noise, and decisively locked Yuanbao up in solitary confinement.
In the pitch-black little world, Yuanbao felt extremely wronged. While crying, it checked which of its system functions were still usable.
Yes! It can also play games.
Yes! It can also read novels.
And then... that was it.
Damn it, it can no longer check the host's status or view the host's mission world.
"You idiot, you stay here for now. I'll let you out in a while." The main system's voice did not comfort Yuanbao.
"Sir, wouldn't you call this breaking your promise?" Yuanbao asked angrily.
"If you don't want her to regain her memories, I can release you." The main system's words seized on Yuanbao's weakness.
"No, sir, what are you saying? I'm staying here willingly." Yuanbao smiled obediently.
"Promising." The main system scoffed, not bothering to argue with Yuanbao.
Whether Xu Nian's memories can be restored depends on how things progress. If things go well, her memories will naturally be restored.
Current mission objective achievement rate: 17.6%
