The youthful voice, usually clear and bright, sounded steady and firm for the first time:
Chang Le is the host of Tu Tu, the protagonist of Tu Tu, and the core of Tu Tu's world.
[422 is the "Group Favorite Strategy System." TuTu's goal is to make Chang Le receive more love, to make Chang Le be pampered by the older brothers, and to make Chang Le the group's favorite.]
I am the system, Chang Le's system. In my world, Chang Le is destined to be cherished.
I cannot let you be lonely, nor can I let you cry.
"..."
Hua Changle remained silent.
After a long pause, he finally let out a sneer: "You damn rabbit, what kind of answer is that?"
I'm very sorry, Chang Le. I cannot reveal some of the hidden truths to you at this time.
I am the system, a system controlled by the "master." Please forgive me for having to ensure the progress of the system's tasks.
I cannot break my principles and open the forbidden door. Aside from that, I will offer you any assistance I can.
[The key to unlocking the truth lies within yourself. Please complete 90% of the strategy missions or successfully romance all four targets to gain access.]
TuTu will serve the host wholeheartedly; TuTu is the host's steadfast protector.
"Okay, okay, okay..."
Hua Changle was so angry that she was both crying and laughing.
"Chang Le? What are you doing here? Let's get ready to leave..."
Hua Xiange came over, but before she could ask a question, she saw Hua Changle sobbing.
On the spacious berth, her increasingly slender body appeared exceptionally frail. Her body trembled slightly, like a butterfly's wing fluttering in the wind, as if it would dissipate at the slightest breeze.
Hua Xiange's heart clenched, and he rushed over in three steps, gently pulling her into his arms: "Lele, what's wrong? Don't cry, your second brother is here."
Hua Changle buried herself in his arms and sobbed.
There's no specific reason; maybe it's just a sudden feeling that you can't find your way.
A person with no future and no way back is like a rootless duckweed.
It exists in the world, yet it is not in the world.
Perhaps this warm embrace allows her to briefly feel that she truly exists in this world.
On the aircraft.
Hua Changle cried for a long time for no apparent reason, until she herself didn't know why she was crying, until she felt dizzy and exhausted and wanted to fall asleep.
"Second brother..."
She leaned against Hua Xiange's chest, her voice heavy with sobs, like a whimper, like she was aggrieved.
Hua Xiange gently stroked her shoulders and back, her voice exceptionally soft, as if to comfort her: "I'm here."
"Second brother, tell me about our childhood..."
Hua Xiange was taken aback for a moment, then said, "Okay."
"I remember when you were twelve years old..."
Hua Changle forced her heavy eyelids open and asked in confusion, "Why twelve years old?"
Hua Xiange said, "That's when Second Brother started to be friends with you."
"...Ugh..."
She responded softly, and Hua Xiange began to speak gently:
"At that time, you were already very beautiful and were our most beloved little sister."
You like sleek martial arts attire and often drag the third brother into sparring, although in the end, it always ends with the third brother standing still and taking the beating...
You love dancing and work very hard, so I made the difficult decision to have you practice until very late.
The fourth brother was always the first to soften his heart, and then he would tell the fifth brother, who would immediately run to pick you up. He felt sorry for you when your legs ached from practicing, so he would always carry you home on his back…
My eldest brother has the hardest heart, but he always takes excellent care of everyone in the family. We siblings were mostly raised by him…
Lele is a little princess, the most dazzling and beautiful flower in her brother's heart...
As Hua Changle listened, she slowly closed her eyes.
In her last moments before falling asleep, she asked the question that had been weighing on her mind for a long time:
"Brother, did we... grow up together?"
After I asked her the question, she fell asleep.
She didn't hear Hua Xiange's reply because Hua Xiange didn't answer.
Hua Xiange helped her tidy up the blanket and gently kissed her forehead:
"Go to sleep, I'm here."
Hua Changle slept for a long time.
He didn't wake up even after they got back to the Hua family home, so Hua Xiange carried him directly into the room.
He then contacted Hua Lanshi: "Lele has been sleeping for a long time, very soundly. I'm worried there might be a problem. Why don't you go home?"
Not long after, Hua Lanshi rushed back.
Without saying a word, he came in and examined Hua Changle from head to toe.
Finally, he placed his palm on Hua Changle's forehead, and after a moment, withdrew it.
"How is it?" Hua Xiange asked, her voice trembling with worry.
Hua Lanshi shook her head: "There is no danger, but... recently, has something upset her? She seems very tired, anxious, and uneasy."
Hua Xiange frowned as she recalled her heartbreaking cries:
"I don't know. I was only gone for a short while. I don't know who she saw. When will she wake up?"
"She needs to sleep more. Not only mentally, but her body also needs a complete rest."
Hua Lanshi rolled up her sleeves and gently massaged Hua Changle's head with her fingers.
During the time Hua Changle was lying in bed asleep, he did these things every day.
“It has been less than three months since she woke up, but she has already experienced a lot.”
"A light piece of white paper will feel heavy if too much ink is spilled on it."
Hua Lanshi said softly, "She can't bear anything too heavy anymore. Humans have limits; beyond those limits, they break down..."
Hua Xiange's face had turned completely cold:
"Yes, as her psychologist, you know her situation better than anyone else. Unfortunately, the person most likely to save her is powerless to do so."
Hua Lanshi's face suddenly turned pale.
Hua Xiange saw this, paused for a moment, and then suddenly gave a self-deprecating laugh:
"Honestly, what right do I have to talk about you? I'm the worst of the worst..."
The two remained silent for a long time. Hua Lanshi quietly massaged some acupoints on her head and neck before leaving with Hua Xiange.
The two had just come downstairs a short while ago.
Hua Anning strode in, her expression urgent.
"Is Lele back? Where is she?"
Hua Xiange was puzzled and asked, "She's sleeping upstairs... What happened?"
"Asleep?"
Hua Anning was taken aback, and when she turned to look at Hua Lan, she immediately understood what was going on.
"Of all times!"
Hua Xiange hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"
Hua Anning frowned and sighed, "Something happened to the team. They're calling up reserve members and specifically asked for Lele."
"What?"
————————
I said I was taking a break to organize the outline, but I ended up writing quite a few words.
Just kidding, I love you all!
The official content of Volume 3 will begin tomorrow, and the official pairing, Lele's background, and the truth will gradually come to light.
With the third volume already underway, how far away can the turning point in the fourth volume be?
