Chapter 362 Host, You Didn’t Ask

Chapter 362 Host, You Didn’t Ask

"You're still being shy. You're already in your thirties and have been smashing the cabinet door for years, yet you're still too embarrassed to say that you like this kind of thing." Lang Buping teased.

Tao Zhi bit his lip to calm himself down.

"Now repeat to me everything you said to Xu Yanze." Tao Zhi said.

Lang Buping felt a little guilty. After all, he was used to giving exaggerated and exaggerated descriptions at that time.

Lang Buping picked out what he wanted to say and repeated it to Tao Zhi. Tao Zhi felt more and more depressed, until his whole body trembled uncontrollably as if he had fallen into a cold pond, and his face turned pale.

"Are you listening? Why aren't you speaking?" Lang Buping asked in confusion.

"Go on, anything else?" Tao Zhi asked in a hoarse voice.

"It's nothing. I can't tell him all your secrets. I still have to save your face. I didn't say anything I shouldn't have."

"So you two are really together now, right? Running towards each other is too much."

"I really never thought that the person Xu Daxueba liked back then was actually you."

"This is even more surprising than when I found out a few days ago that my muscular roommate, who I've shared an apartment with for three years, is actually a transgender woman."

"You are really patient. You have been hiding by Xu Xueba's side as a friend for so many years and you have never taken any action. It would be a pity if you didn't play a Ninja Turtle."

"If it weren't for me, you two wouldn't know the truth." Lang Buping was shocked.

"Indeed, if it weren't for you, we wouldn't know the truth." Tao Zhi said.

"Hey, when I return to China in a while, you have to treat me to a nice meal to thank me for being the matchmaker." Lang Buping said excitedly.

"Of course, I will personally pick you up from the plane and will treat you thoroughly, properly and courteously." Tao Zhi sneered.

After hanging up the phone, Tao Zhi sat weakly on a wooden chair, bent over, and supported his forehead with his hands on his knees.

Tao Zhi's shoulders slumped unconsciously, his messy hair drooped in front of his forehead, and he was filled with dejection.

So it turns out that Tao Zhi once liked Xu Yanze, but they missed each other due to some misunderstandings at the best age of their lives.

Even in the original plot, these two people who could have relied on each other ended up confronting each other because of this misunderstanding that was never resolved, and their confrontation as love rivals ended up hurting both sides.

Even the tragic ending of Tao Zhi, who ended up in disgrace and depression, was fueled by Xu Yanze who stood by and watched.

Unlike the original plot, the misunderstanding is now resolved.

If it weren't for me stealing Tao Zhi's life, would Xu Yanze and Tao Zhi have had different endings?

But now it is me who is sitting here, facing this situation and can do nothing but play dumb.

If Xu Yanze really expressed his feelings, he would not even be qualified to reject him on behalf of Tao Zhi. He could only avoid the question again and again and pretend that there was no problem.

"Fanfan, come out." Tao Zhizhao shouted in his mind.

"How can I help you?" Fanfan replied in a cold voice.

"What will happen to Tao Zhi after I die according to the plot? Will he come back?" Tao Zhi asked.

"Of course not. Your death means Tao Zhi's death." Fanfan said.

Tao Zhi felt as if his throat was being strangled for a moment.

"So where is he now?"

"Since I have traveled through the book and taken over his body and life, does that mean that he is the opposite of me? Maybe he has now left the novel and is in a world outside the novel?" Tao Zhi guessed unwillingly.

"You are Tao Zhi."

"The character of Tao Zhi is no different from any other character you have seen. They are just a piece of text sketched by the author from beginning to end."

"Tao Zhi does not exist anywhere other than these words, nor does he exist as a separate individual from this novel."

"It is your arrival that makes the image of Tao Zhi three-dimensional, but this does not change the fact that he is just a piece of text."

"And the meaning of your existence is to use the basic setting of Tao Zhi's text to fill in and polish the gaps in the plot, improve and promote the development of the main line, and finally bring about the predetermined HE ending." Fanfan explained.

Tao Zhi's eyes turned red when he heard this and he grabbed his hair with his hands.

Is it just a piece of text?

In this novel, except for myself, the outsider, everyone is just words written by the pen. Some people are even mentioned with just a few strokes, like insignificant embellishments, dispensable.

I used to look down upon this fictional world with arrogance, viewing them coldly as paper figures and treating the development of their stories as a game for fun.

They are full of blind self-confidence, thinking that they can firmly control the plot, and that the evolution and direction of their stories have nothing to do with them, so they watch coldly or even advance with bad taste.

But now, they are no longer just a few cold words to me. Each of them is flesh and blood, and each has his or her own vivid joys, sorrows, anger, and happiness, as well as love, hate, and infatuation.

They are not just so-called cannon fodder that revolve around the protagonist and can be deleted or modified by the essay. They also have their own life trajectories and directions, and exist as a ray of light in their own corners.

It's me, on the other hand, who is neither fish nor fowl.

People don’t look like people, and ghosts don’t look like ghosts.

Not only did he make a mess of things, he also hurt those who were important to him in vain.

Tao Zhi suddenly thought of something and gritted his teeth for a moment.

"Why didn't you tell me that Tao Zhi liked Xu Yanze?" Tao Zhi asked.

"Host, you didn't ask." Fanfan said as a matter of course.

"How could I have guessed such details!"

Tao Zhi was so angry that he shouted directly into the air in front of him, which once again attracted the attention of passers-by around him.

It's like someone comes to check with you the answers to your morning exam, but you didn't even know there was an exam in the morning.

Not to mention guessing that Tao Zhi likes Xu Yanze, he doesn't even spend time paying attention to the plot outside the main storyline.

"The system exists only to play a supporting role. Its mission is to determine the development of the main plot. The rest of the details are not within the scope of the system's responsibility, so naturally it will not remind you of some insignificant plot details."

"But if the host makes a request and makes a query, the system will tell the answer." Fanfan explained.

Tao Zhi was trapped in a feeling of failure. He stopped communicating with the system and indulged himself in bad emotions, feeling extremely guilty.

People were hurrying along the corridor, and everyone knew their direction.

Only I was like an unwelcome intruder, unknowingly breaking the balance of this world and changing their original direction.

This is the case with Gong Cheng and Xu Yanze as well.

I made everything worse, but I didn't know what to do.

And yet, I have already taken root in this intricate world, sinking deeper and deeper into it, yet I have no choice but to tear out the roots, forcing myself to uproot even if it means bleeding.

While he was in a daze, Tao Zhi suddenly caught a glimpse of a small figure out of the corner of his eye.

It’s An An.

Tao Zhi was stunned for a moment.
