The things about spending money on games (end)

Shen Tang stared at the person in front of her for a long time, and after a long while, she took the folded paper from the hand, and while paying attention to Yan Lin's actions, she unfolded the paper in her hand. The crumpled paper slowly unfolded, and the black characters on the top of the white paper clearly came into her sight. She was stunned for a moment and ignored the inconspicuous handwriting.

"Advanced gastric cancer?" Shen Tang's lips moved slightly, and his complicated eyes turned to the man with fiery eyes, "This joke is not funny at all."

He is the male protagonist, how could he get sick so easily?

There was a hint of casualness in the corners of Yan Lin's lips that were raised, and he did not touch the food in front of him even though it had gotten cold.

"Of course this is true. Shouldn't sister be happy about this?" The man lowered his eyelashes and looked out the window. "After all, my only wish is that you can stay with me for the rest of the time."

The paper was slammed heavily on the table, and Yan Lin turned his gaze with slight surprise back to the person in front of him, whose face was slightly red due to anger.

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Shen Tang tried hard to control her voice so as not to sound aggressive. "Didn't you say that your brother is a doctor? How come he can't even tell what's wrong with you?" Besides, she didn't see that the male protagonist had cancer during the previous mission!

What's going on with the plot in this world? Isn't there anything normal about it?

Shen Tang had given up asking after calling for the lucky bag several times to no avail. Although she had experienced many unexpected situations during missions, this sudden news hit her hard. It was true that the system sent her to eliminate the male protagonist's bias, but it never said that the existence of a bug would eliminate the male protagonist as well!

"Maybe God couldn't bear it anymore and told me to leave this world early. My body remembered you before my memory recovered." Yan Lin smiled self-deprecatingly, "But all this is just my wish. Now even my only condition cannot be met?"

"I only have one condition, stay with me, okay?"

Yan Lin's aura was completely gone, and the faint light in his eyes remained only on Shen Tang, just like when he begged her to stay in the game, his expression was firm and persistent.

Shen Tang thought that maybe it was because she had experienced too many missions that she didn't want to refuse this person's request.

Yan Lin showed this expression more than once or twice, and the more he looked like this, the more uncomfortable Shen Tang felt. It was clearly a useless move, so why did he have to soften her heart again and again?

Shen Tang struggled for a long time in her heart. After a long while, she let out a breath softly from her throat.

Consider it compensation for abandoning him so many times; after all, it's just a small world.

"Come on, don't try to play tricks on me. I've already agreed to your request." Shen Tang had no other choice but to push the list back to him. "Keep this thing safe. Don't let anyone with ulterior motives see it."

"Still can't...what?" Yan Lin thought that her request was in vain again. Just as she lowered her head, she heard a female voice softly agreeing. She immediately raised her head again, with stars twinkling in her passionate peach blossom eyes. "Sister, are you telling the truth? Don't lie to me again!"

Shen Tang's eyebrows twitched. Does she look like a liar?

After making eye contact with the man, she was defeated again. Well, she did look like a liar.

"I won't leave. I will stay with you until the end of your life. Is that okay?" Shen Tang looked helplessly at the person in front of him and smiled foolishly like a child. He didn't know whether to say that he was stupid or dumb, and had to ask again and again.

"Well done!" A familiar voice suddenly came from behind a sign a few meters away. Shen Tang raised his eyebrows, a little surprised that the girl actually followed him like this.

"Gu Rou, stop hiding." Shen Tang glanced at the edge of the skirt sticking out from the side of the sign and was silent for a while. However, to her surprise, besides Gu Rou who had revealed her identity, there was actually another man hiding behind the tall sign.

Seeing that Shen Tang recognized her, Gu Rou walked over with great momentum, but she didn't speak to Shen Tang, but to Yan Lin, who was as gentle as a sheep.

"I told you that Tangtang would definitely soften her heart, but you didn't believe me!"

At this time, Yan Lin was a master at playing crazy and foolish, with a look on his face that said "what are you talking about", which made Gu Rou so angry that she wanted to punch him hard. However, as Yan Lin's brother approached, Gu Rou still snorted heavily, "If it weren't for your brother's face, I wouldn't let you go."

Shen Tang looked between the several people with suspicion, and gradually came to a guess.

"You guys have already colluded?"

Gu Rou looked away guiltily, while Yan Lin admitted his mistake, "Sister, I did lie to you about one thing."

Shen Tang watched him silently take out another piece of paper from his pocket, "Actually, that medical record is not mine. I just wanted to force you."

Yan Lin's voice gradually faded away, and his uneasy eyes fell on Shen Tang, "Does what you said before still count?"

Shen Tang was so angry that she almost laughed. It was also her fault that she believed it just by seeing a medical record. She was wondering how the male protagonist of this small world could get sick so easily. It turned out that she was the only one who was kept in the dark!

"Do you think that's funny?"

Yan Lin was silent for a moment, his eyes fixed on Shen Tang's face, whose eyes were red from anger. He walked straight to him and hugged him gently, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have used this to force you to agree to stay."

Yan Lin quickly let go of her hand. He was not a kind person. Everything he did was to make the person he liked stay. However, he knew better that this person did not belong to him, let alone to this world. Forcing someone to stay would only intensify their disgust towards him.

Although Shen Tang was annoyed that this person used such an important matter to deceive her, she also understood in her heart that Yan Lin did this because of her. If she didn't eliminate the male protagonist's bias, she couldn't leave this small world. In addition, the system was now completely dead and silent, so she could only choose to stay in this small world with Yan Lin to eliminate the bias, and also take a long vacation for herself.

The only thing Shen Tang couldn't have expected was that she would be doing this task for decades, watching Yan Lin grow old little by little from a gentle and handsome boy to a white-haired old man, but that bit of obsession just never went away, as if it was deliberately frozen in place by him.

Over the past few decades, Gu Rou has been together with Yan Lin's brother, but Shen Tang and Yan Lin's relationship has not been able to go any further.

Until the day when Yan Lin was about to die, he asked Shen Tang again, "Did you really never like me at all?"

Shen Tang smiled back at him: "Maybe." Maybe she was moved by the man who had been waiting for her from the beginning to the end, but she had been to too many places and met too many people over the years. If she really remembered everyone in her heart, Shen Tang would not be able to do it.

Therefore, she could only give Yan Lin this answer. She didn't want to deceive the other party, nor did she want to deceive herself.

After hearing these words, Yan Lin's wrinkled face finally showed a smile. So he would just assume that it did happen.

When the youth was no longer there and old age was passing away, all his prejudices disappeared like smoke, as if they had never appeared in the world. Shen Tang sighed slightly. This person was really holding on to his prejudices and was unwilling to let go. He had to wait until the last moment of his life to completely throw away the distracting thoughts in his heart.

[Mission completed, transmitting]

The faint halo gently enveloped Shen Tang. She closed her eyes and slowly waited to leave this world.

During the transmission, the lucky bag that had not appeared for a long time finally appeared. I don't know if it was Shen Tang's illusion. Whenever the male protagonist appeared, the lucky bag would always find some excuse to leave or pretend to be dead, and would not appear no matter how she called. If there were no bugs in the previous missions, she would not have noticed this.

"Sister... Host, please listen to my explanation!" As soon as Little Lucky Bag came back, he hurriedly defended his innocence to Shen Tang, "It was the general system that called me to do something, so I couldn't help the host!"

As Xiao Fukudai spoke, his guilt almost spilled out of his voice, which gave Shen Tang a headache. "You said it's okay if you do this once or twice, but what should I do if you keep doing this? Forget it, don't do this again on the next mission. Otherwise, if I meet a male protagonist as difficult as this time, I don't know when I can leave this small world."

Little Fukudai groaned twice, apologized repeatedly in a wronged manner, and only asked people to forgive him after promising to get more task rewards for Shen Tang.

"Host, do you want to stop and rest for a while?"

Shen Tangren had been teleported back to her own room in the fast-travel bureau. The teleporting light array gradually disappeared, and her eyes slowly returned to the scene in front of her.

"Then let me rest for a while." Shen Tang gently shifted his gaze away, looked at the gorgeously decorated house and sighed softly.

This is where she has stayed for many years. Although the time in a mission world is much faster than in a fast-travel game, she has developed feelings for this place. After all, this place was renovated by her with her mission rewards.

Shen Tang walked slowly to his desk, on which was an old photo of a lonely black figure.

She reached out and took the photo, gently wiping the dirt on it with one hand.

She hadn't seen that person for a long time, and wondered if he was doing well. When she was really rich, she should be able to go back and see him, right?

Shen Tang's gaze was fixed on the photo for a long time. She sat motionless on the chair, and even though Xiao Fudai called her several times, she didn't hear it. It was not until she completely came out of her own world and saw the clock in the house had moved for several minutes that she realized she had been in a daze for such a long time.

"Okay, little lucky bag, take me to the next mission location."
