Chapter 209 I have a mouth to kiss the one I love
Su Yangyang's pupils shrank slightly.
If it was two months ago, Gu Sheng said this to her.
She would think Gu Sheng was crazy.
But now, she seemed to be able to accept any explanation, no matter how bizarre it was.
"Then suddenly a voice appeared in my head. It told me that it was the system. It told me to follow its instructions and complete the task in order to return to the modern era."
Gu Sheng was silent for a moment, "I know what I said is ridiculous, but it's all true."
He paused, then spoke.
"My ultimate goal is to become the emperor of a country. The first mission I receive is to submit my name, join the army, and become your deputy general and military advisor."
Su Yangyang lowered her eyes, not knowing what she was thinking.
There was no expression on that face.
After a long pause, she said, "So, it took you ten years to complete this quest line? The last quest is to shoot me?"
"More than ten years." Gu Sheng closed his eyes. "After you left, I didn't choose to come back. The system told me that the flow speeds of the two time and space are different. If I miss the chance to go back once, I will have to wait for forty years for the next one."
"So... I ended up guarding Dayan for the rest of my life."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Su Yangyang with a steady gaze.
The two people's eyes met in mid-air.
He originally thought that he would see surprise, panic, or at least shock on that face.
But no.
Nothing.
Clean and tidy, with a face as calm as water.
Her eyes were like the bright moon and stars, and even after so many years, they were still crystal clear.
"So?" she asked.
Gu Sheng moved his lips.
He asked the question he feared most, the question he longed to ask the most: "I managed Dayan well, established many new policies, and personally selected who I considered the right successor. For a full forty years, I spent that time in that position, and every day... I thought of you."
“I regret it every day.”
"But I'm still Gu Sheng after all. I'm my parents' only son, born in their old age. The Gu family's bloodline is thin, and they've long insisted on developing their craft. Those few years were when they were most severely suppressed by the Luo Group. Even my car accident was very likely related to the Luo Group."
"If it were you in this situation, what would you choose? Yangyang...you would make the same choice as me, right?"
He gritted his teeth and spoke each word with difficulty.
This was the first time he spoke to her in such a humble manner.
Su Yangyang still didn't answer.
The two were silent for a long time.
Gu Sheng spoke again, "I've struggled with this, too. For the ten years I've been with you, I've wondered every day, what would I do if the mission ultimately landed on you? For those ten years, I've lived in fear, because the unknown is the most terrifying thing."
"But in the end... you saw the result. It inevitably pointed at you. After shooting that arrow, I realized what I had lost. I hated why it happened to me. I would rather have died in that car accident! Why did I have to go through all this?"
His breath was rising and falling, and his chest was shaking.
He closed his eyes for a while.
"I regret everything I've done. I'm sorry, I'm truly sorry."
"So, Yangyang, I know that the moment you came here, you couldn't describe your feelings. I know that this time, even if it means going through mountains of swords and seas of fire, I will go down."
"This is the last chance God has given me. I'll tell you everything, and you'll be the judge."
Su Yangyang listened to the last sentence.
Then he slowly reached out and pushed away the teacup in front of him.
Seeing this, Gu Sheng asked, "Do I need to give you some time to process this?"
"No need." Su Yangyang said.
"You... don't believe me?" he said, "I can prove..."
"It has nothing to do with me."
Su Yangyang looked up and interrupted him.
What shocked her the most now was what Bo Silin said last night when he was drunk.
Surprisingly...it's all true.
After she entered the tent carrying Bo Silin.
Bo Silin lay on the bed, his eyes hazy with drunkenness.
Outside the tent, there was a faint moonlight and Tian Tian's anxious figure.
After Tian Tian finished persuading her, Su Yangyang opened her mouth to answer, but was held shut by Bo Silin.
"Let me tell you something," he said, "I predict that if you lose a game tomorrow, Gu Sheng will have a chance to talk to you."
"Lose?" Su Yangyang frowned, "It's impossible to lose."
Bo Silin smiled and pulled her to the bed.
He reached out and tore off a piece of paper, held her hand, and scribbled on it.
"Let me guess what he wants to tell you..."
He was seven parts drunk and his voice was particularly pleasant.
"Look at how complacent Gu Sheng is, as if he has the world's biggest death-free gold medal, so I can only guess in this direction..."
He held her hand and wrote the word "atonement".
Then he held her close.
"I asked Qiu Ye, and Gu Sheng's personality hasn't changed much." He said, "It's just that after waking up from his vegetative state, he suddenly became much more mature. The doctor also checked and found that his memory is not lost."
He has always had a photographic memory. He only read all the characters in this book once, but he remembered them clearly.
In the original book, Gu Sheng was just a cannon fodder male supporting role.
The purpose of his existence is to get slapped in the face, so this side quest seems to be used to fill up the word count and is not explained clearly at all.
Bo Silin remembered when he first came in.
At that time, Su Yangyang was just a bug to him.
Now there is another bug, Gu Sheng.
Gu Sheng is also an active character. For example, the part about him being in a vegetative state does not appear in the book.
If I'm not mistaken, everything started to change after the vegetative period. After all, the previous plots are consistent with the book.
That day, Gu Sheng was certain in front of him that he had his own difficulties.
What could this hardship be?
Bo Silin thought about it.
In the end, it's nothing more than being "forced".
What reason would he have to shoot Yangyang?
——It can only be that he needs to complete this task, but it is not out of his own will.
Thinking about it this way, things become much clearer.
So he continued to order people to investigate.
Specifically check whether Gu Sheng’s living habits were consistent before and after he became a vegetative state.
For example, left-handed people.
Before he became a vegetative state, he was left-handed. After he woke up, he was still left-handed.
Before I became a vegetable, I hated eating fish. Even after I woke up, I still couldn't stand the smell of fish.
…
And so on.
The basic judgment is that this is the same person.
Gu Sheng is Wei Ling, and Wei Ling is Gu Sheng.
Then there is only one possibility left -
Maybe.
It’s not that Wei Ling traveled to the modern era and became Gu Sheng.
But...Gu Sheng traveled to Dayan and became Wei Ling.
Then, for some reason not in his heart, he shot Yangyang to come back.
This is the biggest bargaining chip that Gu Sheng thinks he holds now.
Given his personality, he will use this bargaining chip to open Yangyang's heart.
Could Bo Silin let him do this?
cannot.
Gu Sheng, don’t blame him.
The strange thing is that he is too smart, with an IQ of 140.
Even if he was drunk, it wouldn't delay his mission of killing his rival.
Then.
While still drunk, Bo Silin pulled Su Yangyang aside and divided Gu Sheng's speech tomorrow into four sections.
"First, he'll have a general and unoriginal opening statement, like telling you that what's coming next might be hard for you to accept, but he won't lie."
"Then he would state a fact and briefly explain what happened."
"The third step is to use quotes that play on the plight of others. For example, his struggles and his dilemmas. The purpose is to tell you - I am miserable and I was forced into this. Please note that this step is the easiest to incite people."
"In the fourth step, he will summarize the incident and leave the choice to you. It may seem generous, but he's actually putting you in a dilemma, leaving the consequences of his choice to you."
"Yangyang, remember, a man's mouth is a lie."
"Especially an old man like this who has so many ulterior motives."
After listening to this, Su Yangyang turned around to look at him and curled the corners of her mouth.
"Aren't you a man too?"
"I'm not like him. I have a mouth for..."
Bo Silin turned her over, his eyes dim, and leaned over to kiss her.
"Kiss the one I love."
The next chapter is under review. I wrote something that I shouldn’t have written. I admit my mistake. I’ll tell you guys in the preface when it’s released!
