Yu Rou and Gan Lie divorced.
Xia Wenlan's extinguished hope seemed to be rekindled. She ran back to her car with a smile and quickly got in.
…
In the car, Yu Rou charged the battery with the car charger. Seeing several missed calls from Ye's mother, she sighed and asked Gan Lie, "What did my mother tell you?"
Gan Lie briefly explained the actual situation.
Yu Rou frowned, "I guess she saw it because I left my bag in the living room yesterday."
"What are you going to do?" Gan Lie asked.
"What else can I do? I already know everything, so just be honest." Yu Rou sighed and found a comfortable position to lean back. She had just finished her meal and the air conditioner was on in the car, so Yu Rou felt sleepy again.
Gan Lie asked, "Confess?"
"Really? Just tell me the truth. Tell me that I have a bad temper and quarrel with you every day. You couldn't stand it anymore, so we got divorced." Yu Rou closed her eyes and spoke softly because she wanted to sleep.
Gan Lie looked at her speechlessly, but he felt uncomfortable when he heard this. From a certain perspective, there was nothing wrong with what Yu Rou said, but he felt that it could not be explained in just two simple sentences.
He is now also conflicted about his feelings towards Yu Rou.
"Do you think so too?" Gan Lie said in a deep voice.
Yu Rou moved her eyelids lazily, hummed, paused, and then said, "What else?"
Gan Lie was in a very depressed mood. After a while, he whispered, "That's not the case."
The car was very quiet. He waited for a while but Yu Rou didn't say anything. Gan Lie turned his head and saw that Yu Rou had fallen asleep.
Gan Lie's sadness turned into helplessness. He smiled softly, feeling less depressed at least.
In his heart, Yu Rou is actually like a little sister who has always been willful. Over the years, he has always tolerated her, but why did he give up on her later? Gan Lie has thought about this question for a long time.
Later he got the answer. Perhaps it was because his dreams and aspirations were shattered by reality, and only he knew the pain.
But as Yu Rou said, perhaps the misunderstanding between them was the root cause of the failure of this marriage.
Gan Lie whispered her name.
The tenderness between her lips made him feel complicated.
In fact, he had noticed the recent changes in Yu Rou a long time ago, but he did not expect that the divorce would cause Yu Rou to change so much. Although she still liked to make him angry, she acted much more steadily, which made him feel more at ease. Maybe it was because she was going to be a mother, Yu Rou had become more responsible.
Gan Lie felt relieved but also a little uncomfortable. He didn't know whether he wanted to see such a change or not.
The little princess who was previously cared for by him has grown up. He had always indulged her willfulness, but now she no longer needs him.
Gan Lie admitted that he regretted it. He told Chen Min that they would remarry, and he said it so firmly, but in fact he was not confident.
On the day of their wedding, he promised to take care of her for the rest of her life, but he broke his promise and let go of her hand. Now he wants to get Yu Rou back, but he doesn't know if it's too late.
Yu Rou had fallen asleep, but suddenly the system's voice rang in her head.
System: [Congratulations to the host, you have obtained a 40-point whitewashing index.]
Yu Rou was suddenly awakened. She frowned but did not open her eyes.
System: [This is the first time the whitewashing index has increased significantly. I didn't remind you of the sporadic ones before.]
Yu Rou said in her heart, "Well, next time you speak suddenly, be prepared. It's easy for me to be scared to the point of having a nervous breakdown."
System: [Sorry, I recorded it.]
Yu Rou: "Well, can you explain, what does forty points mean?"
System: [This probably means the person you're whitewashing is regretting breaking up with you and wants to reconcile, but hasn't completely let go. Generally, at this point, just making them realize that you actually love them will increase their score by several points. Generally speaking, once the whitewashing index reaches 50, 70% of the time, the mission is complete.]
Yu Rou seemed to be thinking about something, "I know."
The system hesitated for a moment, thinking that this host was very strange. Previous hosts would rely on the system to some extent during their first mission, often asking the system for help or asking many questions, but this one had never actively called it out for such a long time, let alone asked it for help.
I used to think she was easy to take care of, but I never thought she would be so independent.
Moreover, it observed that she did not seem to be doing the mission these days, but rather seemed to be doing the opposite. It originally thought that this mission was bound to fail, but who knew there would be an unexpected turn of events.
It's really surprising.
The system inexplicably felt that Yu Rou might be a potential host, so it asked an additional question: [Do you have any other questions?]
Yu Rou: "I said before that the mission is completed when the whitewashing index reaches 100. What if I haven't completed it yet?"
System: [There will be a time limit. The main system will assign a deadline based on the difficulty of the mission. After the deadline, the system will assess the situation. If it is confirmed that the mission cannot be completed 90% of the time, the mission will be considered a failure. Of course, if the deadline is exceeded and the minimum requirements are not met, the mission will be directly interrupted and counted as a failure. If the mission fails, the host will return to their original body.]
The original body will go back and wait for death.
Yu Rou: "I understand. I will complete the task as soon as possible."
The system was skeptical of her words, and when it saw that she had no further questions, it exited her consciousness.
After this episode, Yu Rou couldn't fall asleep, so she simply closed her eyes and rested, thinking about her next plan.
The sharp increase in the whitewashing index was within her expectations. As early as when she entered the world, Yu Rou had already understood Gan Lie's character. Now, since his thoughts have changed, her attitude towards him must also change.
…
After entering the community, Gan Lie was about to call Yu Rou to wake up, but he saw her open her eyes by herself.
"We're here." Gan Lie looked at her doubtfully.
"Yeah." Yu Rou nodded.
"I'll explain it to Mom later." Gan Lie seemed to have already thought about what to say.
Yu Rou didn't object, "Let's talk inside."
Gan Lie parked the car, got out and then opened the door for Yu Rou.
As soon as they entered the house and closed the door, Mother Ye came out of the kitchen.
Yu Rou and Gan Lie shouted at the same time, "Mom."
Mother Ye looked at them with a somewhat cold expression, as if she was very angry.
The three of them sat down on the sofa, Gan Lie and Yu Rou sat on one side, and Mother Ye sat opposite them.
Gan Lie was about to speak when he was interrupted by Ye's mother.
"No matter what you say, I just have one thing to say: you can remarry tomorrow."
