Chapter 2 Wen Yanyu, You Will Live to Be a Hundred Years Old
"Welcome home, host Wen Yanyu."
A monotone, emotionless machine voice rang in my ears.
Wen Yanyu opened her eyes in the bathtub and looked at the Q-version meteorite Border Collie in the void in front of her.
"Your cycle of reincarnation has ended. You will no longer be controlled by the plot to reincarnate. You will be free after the plot of this world has completely ended."
free?
I neither agree nor disagree with the system's statement.
Wen Yanyu looked up and asked, "Where are my parents and sister?"
The little dog in the void paused for a moment, avoiding the boy's empty gaze. "I'm sorry, I can only send you to this point in time. Your family and past are plot holes that have now been fixed, and I cannot bring them back for you."
"But in addition to the reward of breaking free from the plot, you also gained the abilities of the cannon fodder you once played. Although they have been weakened a lot, they will definitely make your life more convenient. This is an extra reward for your efforts in playing the role."
The indifferent machine voice remained.
Wen Yanyu looked up at the cold ceiling.
Since he was 7 years old, he had a book in his mind, a male-oriented fantasy novel about a male protagonist who gradually gains power. As a child, he did not know what that book meant.
All he knew was that there was a character in the book with the same name as himself, Wen Yanyu. The only difference was that Wen Yanyu had no family, so he never took the book seriously until he came of age.
But in his third year of junior high school, everything changed. His parents and sister mysteriously disappeared. He searched almost everywhere, but found nothing. The only thing he remembered was their existence.
Even his close friends began to forget him. For a whole year, he was treated like a madman by everyone, and even he himself began to think so.
Until he saw Fu Hanchuan on TV, with the same name as the male protagonist in the book, Qing Tu'an, and a similar fate, countless familiar characters gradually appeared, those familiar plots unfolded, and he…
The only cannon fodder character in the story is Wen Yanyu, who relentlessly pursues the male lead and eventually dies in a car accident. He is a cannon fodder character who is mentioned only briefly in the text, and whose death is used by the male lead's rival to attack the male lead through public opinion.
Therefore, he has no need for family, no need for the past, no need for the future, and he is unable to fulfill his dream of healing and saving lives as a doctor.
He used everything he had to get into Capital Medical University, trying to defy the plot, but in the end he could only let the plot control him and enter the entertainment industry, like a puppet, appearing and dying at the right time to complete his own plot.
He could sometimes control his body, and sometimes he couldn't. He wanted to break free from the plot, so he tried various methods. During this time, the male protagonist became his friend and treated him very well.
He didn't want his final death to become a weapon to hurt the other side; he wanted freedom. So, in his lucid moments, he tried to end his own life to rebel against the plot, but the result was obvious: he failed.
They were also forcibly bound to an unknown system, entering countless worlds in reincarnation, where they repeatedly lost control of themselves and faced death.
From initial confusion, anger, fear, and collapse to numbness, he accepted his fate as just cannon fodder, and that was it.
Fortunately, he was just cannon fodder, with the longest survival time being two years and the shortest even less than two hours, so at most he may have only reincarnated for a hundred years.
The water was flowing rapidly in the bathroom.
Wen Yanyu leaned back in the bathtub, the warm water washing over her shoulders and neck, feeling warm and comfortable, as if she were being enveloped in her mother's embrace.
The scar that had almost torn him apart, the scar he had brought back from countless reincarnations, bloomed on his waist.
In the mission worlds, besides dying naturally, he was also tortured and killed several times. He has been to the supernatural, the apocalypse, natural disasters, the infinite, and the ordinary worlds. He brought back all those abilities and pain with him.
It's unclear whether this is a reward or a punishment.
But who told him he was just cannon fodder? His only purpose was to advance the plot and then die.
The puppy floated in mid-air, saying, "I'm going back soon."
Wen Yanyu looked up and reached out to it.
The puppy walked over skillfully and nuzzled affectionately in his palm.
"Host, remember to eat on time. If you can't eat, drink something. Don't sleep in the bathtub. If you really can't, put a blanket down and cover your stomach. Don't sleep in the water. Take less painkillers. If you feel like you're going to faint, call a friend. Don't try to tough it out on your own. Live well and take good care of yourself."
The cold, mechanical voice showed a rare hint of emotion. Wen Yanyu listened quietly to the puppy's instructions and finally touched its warm body.
"After taking care of me for so long, everyone should still have some feelings for me, right? Before you go, tell me how many more years I have to live. My final car accident is a few years away, so I can plan my retirement in advance."
Wen Yanyu asked calmly, his black hair slowly losing its color at a visible speed.
The puppy froze, staring at him for a long time. After a while, the machine noise disappeared, and a distorted, hoarse male voice rang out.
"Wen Yanyu, you will live to be a hundred years old."
The puppy placed a kiss on his forehead, the warm touch and sound fading away together.
"goodbye."
In a daze, Wen Yanyu realized that the little dog that had accompanied him through countless worlds had disappeared.
"You even cursed me before you left? What a bad dog." Wen Yanyu smiled bitterly and lay back down in the water.
Feeling drowsy, Wen Yanyu closed her eyes.
Try to figure out where you heard that sound before.
He lay in the warm water, in the embrace of fantasy, in a freedom where he couldn't distinguish between reality and illusion, and slowly drifted into a deep sleep.

#Wen Yanyu's persistent pursuit#
[I'm fed up with Wen Yanyu. He's always causing trouble. Doesn't he get tired of it?]
[Those who want to climb the social ladder should first consider whether they are worthy of it.]
[How despicable and disgusting! If I were Fu Hanchuan, I'd be disgusted to death. He even went to the hospital to pick her up. All I can say is that Fu Hanchuan is a really good person; he deserves to be the head of the group at such a young age. He has such a grand vision.]
[Long-time fans are truly exhausted. I don't understand how such a good kid turned out like this. He'd been a top-tier star for just a few years since his debut, and now he's ruined himself like this. Anyone who didn't know better would think he'd been possessed.]
Sigh, Wen Yanyu's looks really appeal to me. I was completely smitten by his debut stage performance. How could I be so foolish as to fall for a man who doesn't even like me?
[Ugh, it's disgusting no matter what, how can I like men?]
[Did anyone believe Wen Yanyu when she told reporters that she no longer liked Fu Hanchuan? I certainly didn't.]
[All other methods have failed, so they're resorting to playing hard to get.]
Wen Yanyu squandered his potential. With his looks and resources, he could have easily secured his top-tier status, but he insisted on openly pursuing Fu Hanchuan. Even after Fu Hanchuan clearly rejected him, he continued to pester him. He practically brought this upon himself.
[Sigh, no matter what, I was a true fan. Seeing how pale he was at the hospital entrance still breaks my heart. I just don't understand what this kid is thinking.]
There is ongoing discussion online about Wen Yanyu.
Various sarcastic and cynical remarks almost overwhelmed Wen Yanyu's social media accounts.
