Before Tao Rui left the previous world, he used the points earned from the mission to purchase a service in the mall to dilute emotional memories.
As his soul left his body, his emotional memories of his relatives and friends also gradually left his body.
He opened his eyes and saw a whole new world, and he had completely lost his attachment to his previous life.
[Brother Rui, are you feeling okay?]
[Excellent. I've wanted this service for a long time. Only with this service can I continue traveling through time. Otherwise, I'll become a madman sooner or later.]
Tao Rui saw a few people nearby setting up something. The location was next to a small lake. It was already dark and there were only some street lights and flashlights.
He walked to the shadow of the rockery, trying to sort out his memories. A boy saw him and scolded him, "You're so good, Tao Rui! You let us do the hard labor for you, and you're just running off to have some free time. Hurry up! Luo Jiaqi's coming."
Who is Luo Jiaqi?
Tao Rui quickly found the key point in his mind and was shocked to find that the scene before him was the confession scene prepared by the original owner. He was about to confess to his beautiful, rich classmate.
The problem is that the original owner has a childhood sweetheart who is watching him not far away. After he confesses his love to her, she will run out crying and get hit by a car, and be in a coma in the hospital for a whole year.
This is definitely a Shura field!
Tao Rui immediately decided to find a place to think things over. He ran away while shouting, "I have something to do."
"Hey, Tao Rui!" A girl looked at the others in surprise, "Why did Tao Rui run away? What happened?"
"Oh, he went to the bathroom, right?" The man in black crossed his arms, offering no help at all. Instead, he looked like he was attending a funeral. He glared at Tao Rui's back with malice, "How can a Phoenix man like that not be nervous confessing his love to a beautiful, wealthy woman?"
The two girls laughed. "Guo Jin, are you jealous? Everyone knows you've been pursuing Jiaqi for a long time, and yet Jiaqi has fallen for Tao Rui? After all, you're in the same dorm. Don't ruin my confession later."
"I don't believe Jiaqi would fall for that poor boy. Why should I be jealous of him?"
Zhu Xiaoyun, sitting behind a pillar not far away, could hear the laughter and bickering by the lake. Her face turned pale, and she bit her lip tightly, a dull pain in her heart. But her feet seemed glued to the ground, unable to move a step. She didn't believe Tao Rui would abandon her. She had to hear it with her own ears.
Tao Rui had already run far away. He quickly sorted out the original owner's memory, and after figuring out the content of the original script, he couldn't help but curse.
He knew he was wearing a scumbag, but this was the first time he had seen such a scumbag.
The original owner was a poor boy from the mountains. He lost his father at a young age and was raised by his mother. He also had a pair of twin sisters.
The original owner was born smarter than other children. Seeing the big cities on TV, he studied hard and was admitted to school in the capital. To support him, one sister gave him most of her wages from her part-time job, and another sister married and gave him a dowry.
Zhu Xiaoyun was the child of the original owner's neighbor. The couple was infertile and picked up Zhu Xiaoyun when they went to the city to buy New Year's goods. After searching for a long time, they couldn't find out who lost her, so they treated Zhu Xiaoyun as a daughter given by God and loved her very much.
Unfortunately, Zhu Xiaoyun was not so lucky. Both her parents died of illness when she was twelve years old. The family's money, house, and land were all used to pay for their medical expenses. Zhu Xiaoyun was left with nothing after their death, not even a relative to rely on.
The original owner's mother saw that Zhu Xiaoyun was pretty and sensible, so she took her to her home to raise her. She got a daughter-in-law for free, plus a laborer to work and serve the original owner.
The original owner was smart, clean, and a good student. He behaved like the wealthy children on TV, well-behaved and well-mannered. However, he couldn't do laundry, cooking, or any other household chores. So when he came to the capital to attend university, he brought Zhu Xiaoyun with him. He had her work like a younger sister to earn pocket money for him, and she also took care of his laundry, cooking, and housework.
He went to the capital to attend university with great fanfare, which was a rare opportunity in their village. He was a true golden phoenix that had sprung up in the village.
However, when he arrived in the capital, he found that most of his classmates came from wealthy families, and his academic performance, which he was proud of, was of no use. He tried hard to restrain himself so that others would not see his timidity.
But he was still very smart. He quickly figured out the personalities and preferences of the people around him, and understood how people in the city got along with each other. He disguised himself as a person who was dedicated to learning and being independent and self-reliant. He never took advantage of others. Whenever he had time, he would work as a tutor to earn money, saying that it was to supplement the family income. He also won scholarships every time so that others would not look down on him.
The top he most often wears is a white shirt, because he knows that he looks the most handsome in it and is the type that girls prefer. For four years, he has been the most handsome boy on campus.
He was still very steady. Many girls had pursued him, but he never gave in. It was not until Luo Jiaqi fell in love with him this time that he prepared this confession after confirming her family background.
Luo Jiaqi's father is a real estate tycoon and her mother is a well-known e-commerce president. Her family is a real wealthy family and their wealth ranks among the top ten in the capital.
Luo Jiaqi is the only daughter of the Luo family.
A wealthy family of this level was like a temple in heaven to the original owner. As long as he could climb up, he would be the best for the rest of his life.
However, Zhu Xiaoyun would see that the confession went wrong, not because of the original owner's arrangement. The original owner did not take Zhu Xiaoyun seriously at all, but it was the original owner's agent Wu Feng who wanted them to draw a clear line to avoid trouble.
The original owner met this agent in a shopping mall half a year ago. He was impressed by the original owner's appearance and temperament and said that he would make a lot of money if he entered the entertainment industry.
At that time, the original owner was worrying about where to get more money to package himself so as to attract the daughters of wealthy families and work less for thirty years. When he saw that Wu Feng was as profit-driven as he was and would definitely help him get lucrative notices, he agreed to sign the contract. He has now filmed two commercials and played the second male lead in a web drama. The web drama unexpectedly became a hit, and he also received a lot of attention.
It was Wu Feng who discovered Luo Jiaqi's family background and told it to the original owner. It was also Wu Feng who urged the original owner to strike while the iron was hot, confess his feelings quickly while the other party was interested, and win her over. He told Luo Jiaqi to support him in playing the male lead, so he could get as many benefits as possible, and he wouldn't suffer any loss if he was dumped later.
In this case, Zhu Xiaoyun naturally became a hindrance. Wu Feng called Zhu Xiaoyun to come over and said some derogatory words to make Zhu Xiaoyun give up.
In the original script, the original owner and Luo Jiaqi were happily together. Zhu Xiaoyun was in a car accident and became a vegetable. No one stopped the original owner. The original owner successfully coaxed Luo Jiaqi to buy him a house and a car, and he became the male lead in an idol drama and even made a movie.
Perhaps because he often learned to speak and act like characters on TV when he was a child, he has a talent for acting and is very good at pretending. His smooth personality makes him extremely suitable for the rules of the entertainment industry. The feeling of being surrounded by assistants, drivers, agents, and makeup artists also satisfies his desire to be served.
So he regarded the entertainment industry as his retreat. While trying hard to hold on to Luo Jiaqi, he also worked hard to film movies, so that the Luo family would not force them to break up and he would get nothing.
He was quite lucky. A famous director was making a rural art film. He caught the director's attention by imitating the appearance of the villagers in the valley. He was lucky enough to be promoted to the best actor thanks to this art film.
But at this time, Zhu Xiaoyun, who had been in a coma for a year, woke up and burst into tears when she saw him on TV. The nurse asked and found out that she was the original owner's fiancée.
This incident was spread online. After the original owner discussed it with her agent, she hired a group of internet trolls to directly criticize Zhu Xiaoyun as a stalker fan. Even the sympathetic incident of Zhu Xiaoyun getting into a car accident was distorted by them into Zhu Xiaoyun following and spying on the original owner, which is why she got into a car accident outside the original owner's school.
This is really annoying. What is there to sympathize with a stalker?
But when Luo Jiaqi found out, he got very angry and could not tolerate Zhu Xiaoyun staying in the capital. He hired more internet trolls to discredit Zhu Xiaoyun, synthesize indecent photos of her, and fabricate that she was a bad girl.
Zhu Xiaoyun had never encountered anything like this before and suffered tremendous pain.
In order to calm Luo Jiaqi down, the original owner listened to her advice and sent Zhu Xiaoyun back to the poor mountain valley to marry a villager.
The original owner had gone to great lengths to appease Luo Jiaqi, who, seeing Zhu Xiaoyun's struggles, felt relieved and agreed to take him to meet her parents. Afterward, the original owner used her impressive outward appearances to gain the Luo family's approval and married Luo Jiaqi.
Luo Jiaqi felt that his family was a disgrace, so he made them stay in the village. Except for sending money during the Spring Festival, they never saw each other. Occasionally, when he went on a trip, he would tell others that he was home for a visit, and his parents-in-law thought he was very filial.
In the end, his mother fell to her death while digging wild vegetables in the mountains, his working sister disappeared, his married sister died of a miscarriage, and Zhu Xiaoyun was accidentally beaten to death by her alcoholic husband.
They all gave everything they had to the original owner, but all ended up miserably harmed by the original owner.
And the original owner, just as he had expected as a child, lived a glamorous and wealthy life.
Tao Rui's mission after traveling through time was to make these four women happy and contented. After integrating their memories, he wished he could catch the original owner and strike him with 100,000 bolts of lightning to shatter his soul!
Tao Rui held his breath and asked, "Where are all these scumbags in the original script? This scumbag should go to the eighteenth level of hell!"
[Brother Rui, don't be angry. The original scumbags have not disappeared. Their souls are serving their sentences in the illusion prison of the Space-Time Bureau.
For example, in the previous life, Du Yawen committed suicide after being depressed for several years. Tao Rui would then enter the role of Du Yawen in the illusion. Although he knew who he was, he would inevitably commit suicide after being depressed for several years. This would be repeated ten times, and he would truly feel Du Yawen's pain.
If the soul cannot bear such stimulation, it will be scattered. If it still exists after ten times, it can be reincarnated.
Tao Rui was stunned. "Then, in this world, Tao Rui would have to experience his mother's toil and pain ten times over? He would have to experience Zhu Xiaoyun's death from domestic violence ten times over? He would have to experience the pain of his younger sister's disappearance and the miscarriage and death of his other younger sister ten times over. Is that right?"
[That's right, so Brother Rui doesn't need to worry about them. They have all received the punishment they deserved, and it was a heavy punishment.]
Tao Rui suddenly laughed out loud. The scumbag in this world would probably die before the end. He had no energy left now.
But now we have to quickly resolve that Shura scene. If we can't explain why he confessed to Luo Jiaqi, Zhu Xiaoyun will definitely be heartbroken.
Tao Rui put his hands on his hips and felt the watch on his wrist. He suddenly remembered that it was a gift from Luo Jiaqi. He had just put it on today and hid it in his sleeve so that no one could see it.
His eyes lit up and he immediately ran back to the dormitory as fast as he could, put the watch back into the box, took out all the gifts Luo Jiaqi had given him, put them in a big bag, and ran to the lake.
The original owner was very good at pretending. Every time Luo Jiaqi gave him something, he would refuse it. He must have been unable to refuse, so he said that he could leave it with him temporarily and she could take it back at any time.
He put the things away and locked them in a closet, without anyone in the dormitory knowing. He just wanted to create a persona that he didn't care about money and was hard to get.
This time he confessed his love for her because, firstly, he was a male chauvinist at heart and believed that the man had to confess in a relationship; secondly, he wanted to give Luo Jiaqi a surprise. Luo Jiaqi liked the way he confessed in the drama, so he followed the plot of the TV series and confessed to her in the same way, and even wore the watch Luo Jiaqi gave her, so that it would be more unexpected and could touch her heart.
This was indeed a surprise in the original script, and Luo Jiaqi was so moved that she cried.
But now is a perfect time for Tao Rui to break the deadlock.
When he arrived at the lake, he asked the system to pay attention to the surroundings, especially Zhu Xiaoyun's condition.
At this time, Luo Jiaqi had arrived. Seeing him coming, she couldn't help but smile. She stood in the middle of the heart shape surrounded by flower petals and looked straight at Tao Rui.
The others excitedly cheered, "Tao Rui is here! Hurry up, we can't wait, the recording has started!"
Tao Rui wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a smile: "Sorry, I forgot to take the things. These things are the highlight of today. I was delayed for a while."
The girls were surprised and asked, "What's in such a big bag? Is this a gift for Jiaqi?"
The boy complained, "Brother, you've never been in a relationship, right? Gifts need to be wrapped properly. How can you carry them in a bag?"
Luo Jiaqi's smile deepened, and he said loudly: "Don't bully Tao Rui, I like everything he has."
"Ohhhh, I like everything haha~"
The system urgently reminded: [Brother Rui, Zhu Xiaoyun is crying against the pillar and seems unable to stand.]
Tao Rui quickly waved his hands and explained, "Hey, you misunderstood. You all know my family isn't well off, and I usually have to use my scholarship to pay for tuition. How can I afford to buy gifts? These were left with me by classmate Luo Jiaqi a while ago."
"Ah?" Tao Rui's roommate was puzzled.
Luo Jiaqi's roommates knew about the gifts, but they were equally baffled. They had no idea why Tao Rui brought all these things; it was kind of ruining the atmosphere. Seeing Luo Jiaqi's smile falter after waiting so long, they quickly tried to smooth things over, saying, "Forget about that for now. Confess your feelings first! You're usually quite smart, college tycoon. Why are you so clueless right now?"
Tao Rui frowned and asked in confusion: "What confession? Oh, right, I asked for your help before, and then, uh, shouldn't you guys go back?"
"Tao Rui, you're not shy, are you? Haven't you confessed to anyone? We are all witnesses. Such a happy moment must be witnessed by someone, and we have to record the sweetness of your time together on video. We won't leave, no matter what you say."
"Yes, yes, we must be here."
Tao Rui looked embarrassed. He took two steps forward and whispered to Luo Jiaqi, "I originally wanted to talk to you alone. Sorry, I want to return the things to you. This... can I say it?"
Luo Jiaqi didn't understand what he meant. She thought it must be a confession. The man's self-esteem was at work. He was thinking, "Those are the ones who are not after her gifts but just love her."
She nodded randomly and said coquettishly, "Just say whatever you want to say. Hurry up, hurry up. I've been standing there stupidly for so long that people are laughing at me."
Tao Rui said "I'm sorry", then handed the bag to her and said solemnly: "Student Luo Jiaqi, you had some things that you had no place to put, so you temporarily stored them with me. However, my closet is not big, and it is not very convenient to use it with all these things in it. I think I should return it to you today. You live in the local area, so you can take the things home and don't keep them with me in the future.
Also, you mentioned earlier that you loved the drama I was in, and that you thought my confession scene was beautiful, and that you often came to see me. I'm very grateful that you like the role I played, but I think you might not have separated the actor from the character. Today, I've staged a scene identical to the one in the drama for you to watch. I hope you recognize that I'm not that character; we're completely different people.
I suggest you do more outdoor activities so you won’t be obsessed with TV dramas.”
Tao Rui explained it very clearly, but no one present understood, including Zhu Xiaoyun who was behind the pillar.
Luo Jiaqi looked at the students on either side, her face full of anger as she asked, "Tao Rui, what do you mean? Are you calling me a loser?"
Tao Rui quickly said, "No, I just feel like you mistook me for a character on TV, which is a bit bothering me. I hope this way of letting you know that even though the scene is the same, I'm not the person on TV."
"You! You're talking nonsense!" Luo Jiaqi looked around, realizing this scene was exactly like the one in the drama. She'd just been trying to get close to Tao Rui, making up an excuse, saying she particularly liked that scene, and pestering him to talk. Did Tao Rui actually think she was a stalker? Was he trying to sober her up and get her to stop harassing him?
Everyone else was stunned. Guo Jin, dressed in black and looking down on Tao Rui, protected Luo Jiaqi and started cursing, "Tao Rui, are you sick? You made them go through all this trouble, wasn't it just to get a confession?"
"I never said I wanted to confess." Tao Rui looked confused. The original owner really didn't say that. He just asked them for a favor.
Guo Jin was stunned and looked at the others. They gathered around to question Tao Rui, so Tao Rui explained the whole story in detail. The original owner had never responded to Luo Jiaqi. When Luo Jiaqi gave him something, he said he would temporarily store it and return it when the cabinet was full. However, he thought Luo Jiaqi would definitely not accept it, so he simply used the plot of Luo Jiaqi's favorite TV series to make Luo Jiaqi understand the plot and reality, and told her not to come to him again. This was not the way to be a fan.
Luo Jiaqi nearly vomited blood after hearing this. Everyone in the dormitory knew she was pursuing Tao Rui, but they had no idea she was so desperate! She just liked difficult strategies and wanted to win over this school hunk. Why did it sound so much like a payback now?
All the gifts she sent were returned, and people thought she was a stalker fan. The key point was that they saw her shyly standing there waiting for a confession. It was so embarrassing!
Luo Jiaqi raised her hand to slap Tao Rui. Zhu Xiaoyun's eyes widened, and her body reacted before her brain. She rushed over in a few steps, pushed Luo Jiaqi away, and pulled Tao Rui away from her.
Everyone present was stunned. Tao Rui looked at Zhu Xiaoyun and asked, "Why are you here?"
Zhu Xiaoyun said awkwardly, "I, I didn't want to come. It was Angkor Wu who asked me to come... I'm sorry."
She lowered her head. The original owner had never allowed her to come to school, and told her to pretend not to know him when she was outside. Now she had violated his taboo and didn't know what to do.
Luo Jiaqi bumped into Guo Jin and nearly fell. She pointed at Zhu Xiaoyun angrily, "Tao Rui! Who is she?"
Tao Rui took Zhu Xiaoyun's hand as a matter of course, "My fiancée."
"What? Fiancée?"
Everyone looked at Tao Rui, who said helplessly, "So it's really inconvenient for me to help you store your gifts, nor is it convenient for me to chat with you about the plots of those idol dramas. If you have any problems in the future, you should talk to your friends."
Luo Jiaqi looked at them in disbelief, then at the petals, flashlights, and balloons around her. She thought her roommates must be laughing at her. She said angrily, "Tao Rui, you'll remember this!" Then she pushed them away and ran away.
The others didn't know what to say. The girls cursed Tao Rui and ran to chase Luo Jiaqi. The boys patted their heads, said hello to Zhu Xiaoyun, and left.
Tao Rui felt relieved. Although the reason was a bit strange, he finally broke the deadlock and turned the situation around.
Before, Luo Jiaqi had been pestering the original owner, but she hadn't expressed any interest in him, so the original owner hadn't paid much attention and always rejected him. So now, wouldn't it be reasonable for him to treat Luo Jiaqi as a stalker? If they wanted to complain, they would only say that he was being too extreme. If he used this method to embarrass Luo Jiaqi, she would definitely never come to him again.
There are thousands of ways to reject people, and his is actually nothing special.
Zhu Xiaoyun still lowered her head anxiously, having long forgotten her previous worries and sadness. Tao Rui bent down to pick up the petal balloons. Zhu Xiaoyun took a look, stepped forward to help, and whispered, "Brother Rui, what are you picking these up for?"
Tao Rui said without even looking up, "Take it back. I spent a lot of money trying to make her give up. Besides, isn't it polluting the environment if you just throw it away?"
Zhu Xiaoyun glanced at him secretly, then glanced at him again, "Brother Rui...you just said I was your fiancée..."
"Yeah, aren't you?"
"I am." Zhu Xiaoyun turned her back and couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth.
Brother Rui admitted that she was his fiancée in front of his classmates. I was so happy!
