BXBX NOVEL Chapter 256 - A Perfect New World (XX)
He asked, ” Mr Lou, the man we met today, that was Chi Xiaochi, wasn’t it?” A tone of complete certainty.
Lou Ying : “Yeah.”
Lv Fan : “So handsome. Much more handsome than he looks in the movie.”
Lou Ying : “Thank you.”
Lv Fan : “Do you want to go and meet him?”
Lou Ying was stunned and did not answer for a long time.
Lv Fan : ” Mr Lou and he hadn’t seen each other for so long, he should have met him.”
Lou Ying struggled to overpower her emotions with reason: “No. I can’t. I’ve been dead for years in his eyes and mine …… , tell him, I’m afraid I’ll scare him.”
Lv Fan : “He might have been happy about it. As you said, over the years, he would always visit your grave wherever he was. There really aren’t many people …… who can do that. Think about it, apart from you, has he ever been this attentive to anyone else over the years?”
At this point, Lv Fan seems to have given himself a hard time and stops talking.
Lou Ying’s face burned, “Don’t talk nonsense. He won’t to me …….”
”I don’t know.” Lv Fan joked, immediately returning to his normal serious tone, “But if you don’t want to see him, then don’t.”
How could …… not want to.
Chi Xiaochi is right next to him, in the same city as him, within easy reach of his feet.
The temptation was so great that Lou Ying had to force himself not to think about it.
Since realising his abnormal feelings for Chi Xiaochi, he has often wondered how he could have become like this, so unlike himself.
However, it is not all good to be here.
Lou Ying finally has a whole period of time to spend in the same world as Chi Xiaochi, checking his Twitter feed every night to see if he has posted anything new and quietly liking it with his new registered number.
Chi Xiaochi is a well-known psychopathic player in the Weibo community, with a large number of fans and black people, and every tweet he posts has a bottom of 300,000 likes.
Lou Ying became one of those 300,000.
Such a large base gave him an unexplained sense of reassurance and an indefinable faint sense of loss.
That would be good, he reassured himself.
But half a month after he started following Chi Xiaochi on Twitter, his tweets stopped working for no apparent reason.
For half a month in a row, he didn’t send a single word.
Lv Fan also noticed this: ” Mr Lou, why isn’t Chi Xiaochi blogging anymore?”
Lou Ying was a little uneasy and went to paint Chi Xiaochi’s square.
The atmosphere in the square was peaceful as many fans were also asking about this and harmoniously discussing whether he was going to be in the group again.
Lou Ying’s browsing is always fast and meticulous, and the many barriers on the internet are like nothing to him, so he soon noticed something strange.
A small number without any friends posted a Chi Xiaochi related content in his friend circle half an hour ago.
”I’ve looked for you. Little Chi Family’s light is still on and he’s fine.”
Below is a matching picture.
…… Chi Xiaochi’s villa is submerged in darkness, only a ginger light remains on in the bedroom, and a long, draped figure, her back to the light, is leaning over the balcony railing smoking, her long, seaweed-like hair tied high at the back of her head, the line of her shoulders and neck looking perfectly proportioned.
Lou Ying’s heart tightens.
He recognised the figure as Chi Xiaochi.
Lou Ying silently wiped his access history and went through the person’s friend circle tweets, including what had been thrown into the recycle bin.
He has been following Chi Xiaochi since two years ago, and his Twitter feed is full of first-hand airport, red carpet and award-winning photos of Chi Xiaochi, so you can imagine an avid fan running around the world with a bird and a gun.
These are fairly normal.
But after a year and a half of continuous interest in Chi Xiaochi, things have become strange.
–He photographed the door of Chi Xiaochi’s dressing room, went through his bin and collected toilet paper stained with his lipstick.
Then again, the situation intensified.
He photographed Chi Xiaochi’s car and wrote over a thousand “I love yous” on Chi Xiaochi’s car with a grease pen; he wrote long imaginary chapters imagining him and Chi Xiaochi in every corner of the city; he photographed himself kissing Chi Xiaochi’s poster and licked the whole paper until it was rotten.
Lou Ying’s face turned white as she read the whole thing.
This man, has found his way to Xiaochi’s house.
Looking at the distance of the shot, he was almost outside Chi Xiaochi’s villa, just a fence away from him.
What else will he do next?
Lv Fan slept senselessly on the bed while Lou Ying took on her human form and paced anxiously around the room several times.
In a moment of irritation, Lou Ying accidentally caught a glimpse of herself in the mirror.
In Lord GOD’s setup, the system’s self-awareness system is permanently switched off, so that he is just a blurred mosaic in the mirror.
At the sight of this inhuman face, Lou Ying holds up the mirror with one hand and examines it carefully.
His seething mind gradually calmed down.
…… He has long since ceased to be a part of this world.
The other side was nothing more than a paranoid person. There are obviously many people who can protect Xiaochi, the police, Lucas, and his studio, and he really has no need to interfere.
He is the system of Lv Fan.
For now, Lv Fan is the most important.
Lou Ying was trying desperately to convince herself when a surprised inquiry suddenly came from the direction of the bedroom, “…… Mr Lou?”
Lou Ying turned her head in awe.
Lv Fan, in her pyjamas, stands in the bedroom doorway with a stunned look on her face.
He asked cautiously, “Is that Mr Lou?”
Lou Ying’s hand dropped from the mirror and found his gentlemanly accent: “…… yes. Did I wake you up?”
”No …… I’m up for the night.”
Lv Fan walks past Lou Ying and stops dead in his tracks.
” Mr Lou, it turns out ……” Lv Fan chose the right adjective cautiously and shyly, “you’re so good looking.”
Lou Ying replied absentmindedly, “Yes. Thanks.”
Afterwards, Lou Ying contacted the police from a street phone and informed them of part of the pervert’s circle of friends.
He took it for granted that the matter would soon be resolved.
It wasn’t until one evening that he clicked on the man’s Twitter again and found that he was actually still updating.
He was drawing his own blood with a simple medical device and said he would make a lunch full of love for Chi Xiaochi.
Lou Ying’s blood rushed straight to his head.
He scrolled up a few entries and found that he had been questioned by the police, but he denied it, saying that he was just a die-hard Chi Xiaochi fan, that he had done nothing wrong, let alone committed a crime, that he had taken the graffiti on Chi Xiaochi’s car from an online press image, that he had not done the car theft, and that he had asked the police in a rhetorical manner if it was illegal to imagine.
It looks like not only has he not shown any remorse, but he has become more aggressive.
He said, “No one can control my heart. I love my boyfriend and he’s going to be mine.”
Lou Ying closed the page.
He moved his body and followed the netting, locating the blogger who had posted it.
In the next instant, a figure in white and black trousers was standing behind a tall, obese man.
The man was tending to his blood-smelling pots when he felt a noise behind him and turned around to meet Lou Ying face to face, his face suddenly flushed with horror: “Who are you?
Without another word, Lou Ying silently pulled him by the collar with one hand and lifted an elbow, hitting him in the face with a loud bang.
Half an hour later.
Lou Ying rinsed the back of his bloodied hand under the tap, a slow fire burning in his heart, burning his cheeks.
The first time he actually hit someone, he didn’t quite get the fire right.
It was good that he had estimated that the man was not going to die.
He had already dropped the nosebleed man at the hospital door and someone would save him.
He is a man who does not exist in this world, and no one will ever know that it was him who did this.
Lou Ying turned off the valve on the tap and burst out laughing uncontrollably.
Yeah, Lou Ying isn’t from this world anymore.
He keeps his eyes open until dawn.
The next night, Lv Fan plays the original owner who has a date with the director.
Lv Fan follows a pre-arranged script, talking to the director, playing the role of an excited and shy perfect lover, while Lou Ying goes through Chi Xiaochi’s tweets, piece by piece, inside his body.
Chi Xiaochi’s Weibo account is called “The reflection of a building into a pond”, which Lou Ying already knew.
He lives alone in memory of them both.
Still no update from the top, it’s so quiet that Lou Ying is a little distressed.
Fearing that Chi Xiaochi had not been notified of the prisoner’s arrest and that she would not be able to sleep well tonight, Lou Ying hesitated for a few moments before finally making up her mind and sending a private message to Xiaochi: “Don’t worry, he won’t come back.”
After a long moment of deliberation, Lou Ying added, “Don’t be afraid.”
There was no response from there.
This is also in line with Lou Ying’s imagination.
Chi Xiaochi would be exhausted if he had to reply to every private message from people he didn’t know well.
After having the courage to talk to him once, Lou Ying was suddenly relieved.
Yes, there are countless followers who send private messages to Chi Xiaochi every day, and even if he is among them, he has gone from one in 300,000 to one in 3,000.
Or a little better, one of two thousand.
The connection of being that much closer in this way would have already eased his urge to reach out to Xiaochi.
Lou Ying restrained himself from missing him, turning every sentence he wanted to send upside down, weighing it up and making sure it was right before he sent it.
It wasn’t until a week later, when he was sifting through his statements as carefully as he always did with flour, that a sudden message came from over there.
”What exactly do you want to input?”
Lou Ying couldn’t say what he was feeling right now, but he was so different that even Lv Fan, who couldn’t see his face, noticed it.
He asked, ” Mr Lou, are you happy about something?”
Lou Ying did his best to calm himself down, “He got back to me.”
Lv Fan Silence.
Between them, the pronoun “he” refers to only one person.
Lv Fan’s relaxed tone seethed with a breathless heaviness, “I didn’t think you’d contact him.”
Lou Ying said, “I didn’t think he would get back to me.”
Lv Fan asks, “Did you tell him who you are?”
Lou Ying : “Not yet.”
Lv Fan : “Will you tell him you’re alive.”
Lou Ying did not speak.
”What’s the point of telling.” Lv Fan’s tone was suddenly intense, and then suddenly reined in volume and tone in the second half of the sentence, “You still have eleven hosts to carry. But it’s been ten years, ten years. Do you want him to wait for you? Why would he wait for you?”
As if to patch up his attitude, Lv Fan paused for a moment, his voice softening, softening a little to the point of humility, “I’m doing this for your own good, Mr Lou.”
Lou Ying let out a sigh of relief, “I know. Lv Fan , thank you for the reminder.”
It’s not that he didn’t notice the inconsistency in Lv Fan’s attitude, but he didn’t take it too seriously.
Because he knew that Lv Fan was not making any substantial progress with the Superintendent on any of his dates these days, the other party’s good opinion value had not risen one iota.
And of course he should be outraged to learn that Lou Ying was talking to someone else while he was dating.
After Lou Ying apologised for the incident, Lv Fan did not pursue the matter further.
He continues to chat with Chi Xiaochi as a stranger, talking about things he has seen and heard in the original owner’s life, such as which cake shop has a good lasagne and which coffee shop has a better tasting latte.
Sometimes Chi Xiaochi would reply quickly and sometimes it took half a day. Lou Ying knew he was busy, so he kept his light screen on at all times so that he would get his reply first.
They had been in touch on and off for over a month, so much so that Lou Ying felt he was doing something wrong.
Lou Ying seriously considered that if he did not tell Chi Xiaochi who he was, he would disappear from the world like air by the time Lv Fan’s mission was complete.
I’m sure Chi Xiaochi wouldn’t have lost anything by having one less internet friend to bother him on a regular basis.
But Lou Ying couldn’t help thinking that he could just tell him he was alive.
He took the matter up with his acquaintances in the old qualified system, but no one could give him an answer.
A field system is limited to 20 rolls and no one has ever had the good fortune of drawing their own world line out of countless world lines like Lou Ying.
”Go ahead, what’s not to say about that.” A middle-aged man who had survived 18 missions encouraged him, “If I go back to my line of the world, I will definitely go and find my daughter and have a meal with her. Just tell her that I still exist for some special reason and will be home one day sooner or later, and just remember the rule to never, ever reveal the existence of our system. …… counting, my daughter is thirty-five years old this year, three years away from catching up to the age I left.”
Inspired by her colleague, Lou Ying faced the light screen, typed in the four words, and then deleted them quickly.
When it came down to it, he didn’t know how to tell Xiaochi.
…… tells him he is alive and well and tells him how much he likes him.
He thought again, Lv Fan is right, he is not like middle aged men, he still has 11 hosts to carry, at least for another decade.
After having contacted Xiaochi, would he have to waste another whole decade of Xiaochi’s light before he could stand up to him again.
During her hesitation, Lou Ying discovered something strange.
Unlike other systems that are afraid of trouble, Lou Ying is used to sorting out his own information flow, and after discovering that Lord GOD has buried entropy transport lines within his host, he is regularly checking and observing himself thoroughly.
Since her last return to the Lord’s GOD system, Lou Ying discovered during a new round of checks that there were traces of unusual data remaining in her body.
…… looks like it has been infiltrated by some virus-like program, but because Lou Ying has written a new program that is hidden within the original information protection program, the other party does not dare to attack it, and when it finds out that something is wrong, it retreats as soon as it is touched.
However, the goose still leaves its mark.
When she noticed this, Lou Ying took a precaution and quietly made a backup copy of all her data and put it on a disk.
Even if the data were to be cleaned and modified in the future due to a virus or other force majeure, he would at least have the ability to make up the entire data.
While he is secretly carrying this out, the object of their caper this time, the director, offers to buy a ring for his half-sister, taking the original owner, played by Lv Fan, to a fancy ring shop.
This is actually a hint and a date in disguise.
A weird and false pink bubble bubbles between two people who are both doing their best to play the loving couple.
As Lv Fan and the director wandered into a corner of the ring shop, whispering about which ring was better, a young man in a smart suit stood by the counter they had just walked past.
The lady at the counter couldn’t move from one look at his face, “Sir, which ring would you like to see?”
Lou Ying flips through the first page of the bespoke booklet and quickly points to the season’s latest models on the first page.
When he followed Lv Fan earlier, he spotted this ring at first sight.
After the lady at the counter saw which one he was pointing at, her expression became a little complicated and surprised: “Sir, this one ……”
The 16-carat sapphire, surrounded by star-like white diamonds, is a proper value on its own, and one can well imagine it being worn as if it were a little piece of the starry sky when worn in one’s hand.
Lou Ying nods: that’s what he wants.
When he saw the ring just now, he thought of how it would look on Chi Xiaochi’s hand.
The lady at the counter took a breath and her voice was much softer, “Sir, this ring requires a deposit of 400,000 ……”
Lou Ying takes out a card and pushes it over in silence.
Full payment, 1.2 million.
His head was still spinning as the lady at the counter led him to swipe his card and fill in his information.
She has never done a large amount of business with such a fast turnover in her life.
Lou Ying filled in all the information quickly.
Seeing that Lou Ying had chosen the ‘men’s model’, the lady at the counter once again looked at him in a different way.
However, he hesitated when it came to filling in the fingerprint data.
The lady at the counter had curbed her flamboyant attitude and asked respectfully, “If you are not sure, you can ask me to measure it in person. It’s best to be precise to the millimetre for this kind of bespoke model ring ……”
Lou Ying shook his head, “No. I’m trying to figure out which of his fingers to fill in.”
The lady at the counter: “…… Are you …… engaged?” She couldn’t imagine giving a ring of this caliber that wasn’t for marriage.
Lou Ying : “No.”
The lady at the counter: “For your boyfriend?”
Lou Ying blushed a little but didn’t deny it, “Just saw this fit and wanted to give him a present.”
The lady at the counter had an idea: “The middle finger of the left hand then.”
Lou Ying ummed and held the pen against his lips and repeated, “Good …… left middle finger.”
He wrote down a figure to the nearest millimetre and opted for expediting, for which he added another 30,000.
When she received the ring, Lou Ying didn’t even know what she was rushing into.
He smiled to himself as he flipped through the certificate of authenticity.
As if he had the courage to give it away.
…… As if he could use this one ring to snare Chi Xiaochi for the next ten years.
Lou Ying threw the ring into storage, but couldn’t resist sending the photo to Chi Xiaochi.
Chi Xiaochi decisively sent in his review, “Very expensive.”
Lou Ying doesn’t dare say she’s bought it: “It’s quite affordable. Like it?”
Chi Xiaochi asked, “Ask me if I like to do something.”
Lou Ying, out of nowhere, blurted out, “I’ll buy it for you if you like.”
As soon as the words were sent out, he immediately regretted them.
Chi Xiaochi was talking to him one second and he didn’t even have a chance to withdraw.
For a stranger, he crossed the line with that statement.
For the first time in his life, Lou Ying is in a frenzy, afraid that Chi Xiaochi will pull the plug on him in the next minute.
In the midst of a panic to explain, a thought came to Lou Ying’s mind.
– Since you’ve made a mistake, you might as well keep making it.
Lou Ying drew back from his panic, composed himself, and sent the words he had deleted from the dialogue box countless times: “I am Lou Ying.”
Everything that followed was much smoother.
The boulder that weighed on Lou Ying’s mind disappeared and he patiently proved his identity to Chi Xiaochi over and over again until Chi Xiaochi said he wanted to meet him.
Lou Ying paused to seek Lv Fan’s advice, “Can I meet with him?”
He informed Lv Fan of this at the same time as he had informed Chi Xiaochi of his identity.
Lv Fan is now his host and he should respect his right to know.
”Wouldn’t I be heartless and heartless if I didn’t say yes?” Lv Fan joked in a tone that sounded a bit indescribably stiff, “Go ahead.”
Lou pursed her lips and returned hopefully, “Are you available this Sunday night at 7.30pm. I’ll wait for you at the Western restaurant on the TV tower.”
For the next few days Lou Ying was overwhelmed with joy.
Chi Xiaochi started talking to him and asked him where he had been all these years.
Lou Ying remembered his predecessor’s advice and did not reveal the existence of the system: “You can understand that I work somewhere and am here on business this time. I can’t say anything else, we need to keep it a secret.”
Lou Ying’s own explanation pales in comparison.
I didn’t expect Chi Xiaochi to actually accept: “Well, then I won’t ask.”
He was so good that Lou Ying wanted to hug and kiss him.
Lou Ying didn’t forget to give him a good precaution: “After I meet you, I will leave and disappear, so don’t be anxious when that happens. I’ll be back sooner or later.”
Chi Xiaochi said, “I’ll wait for you.”
Lou touched the three short words in the light screen, not daring to give himself too much room for reverie: “It will waste you for a long time.”
”Living is a waste of time.” Chi Xiaochi replies, “I’d like to waste it on Brother Lou.”
These words made Lou Ying’s heart sink and then swoon with sweetness.
His family Xiaochi is really too good at talking.
Before he went to see Chi Xiaochi, he put the encrypted disk into a melon bag and made a trip back to Lord GOD space to give it to his most trusted 089 for temporary storage.
Fearing that a virus that might invade at some point might wash away his memories of the code, he wrapped the fragments of memory that contained the inspiration for his own code design in the outer layer of the disk.
In order to prevent the disk from being discovered and deciphered by others, he formed fragments of all memories related to Chi Xiaochi and mixed them with the outer layer of the disk as a confusion item.
…… Further on, he no longer remembers.
This is the end of the invasion of Lou Ying’s mind by fragmentary memories.
Lou Ying came back from her tearing headache to find that it was already dark outside.
He is lying on his bed in his cabin, properly covered with a quilt, while Chi Xiaochi sits on his side with a small stool, his face buried in the crook of his arm, breathing not too evenly and steadily.
Lou Ying holds her faintly warm forehead and reaches out to touch Chi Xiaochi’s hair.
Chi Xiaochi, who was already not sleeping heavily, sprang up, grimaced again and slid down the edge of the bed with a pained look on his face.
Lou Ying was startled and hurriedly held him up, “Don’t get up so fast, take your time.”
Chi Xiaochi grimaced as Lou Ying helped him to sit on the edge of the bed and grabbed his arm, asking, “What’s wrong with you? Your head hurts so badly.”
Lou Ying’s voice was still hoarse from his first waking moments, and she gently rubbed his back: “Did I scare you?”
Chi Xiaochi went to touch the side of his head, “I was scared to death. How do you feel now?”
Lou Ying grabbed his hand in one hand.
He asked in a low voice, “Sunday, 7:30, Western Restaurant on the TV tower. …… How long did you wait that day?”
Chi Xiaochi is suddenly mute.
He stares at Lou Ying, his breath coming in short bursts.
……
Inside the Lord GOD space.
089 After sorting out the Wen documents related to the new entry system and putting them in the archive, it was time to go back to the duty room.
Today is his shift.
Unexpectedly, just as he was leaving the room, he ran into the system responsible for writing the report being taken from the room by the head of the security system.
He cried like a dead dog, desperately arguing that he would never make a mistake again and begging Lord GOD to let him off the hook for his previous hard work and not to delegate him to the job of recycling data waste.
089 cocked his head to look at him.
The last time Lord GOD held back his son and daughter-in-law’s eighth worldline and refused to give it to them, 089 played a trick on him by making a mistake in the security report he submitted to the watchdog, causing the watchdog to send a commissioner to review their security status once again, forcing Lord GOD to return the worldline to his son and daughter-in-law.
089 knows too well the small-mindedness of Lord GOD.
Although an innate system, over the long process of evolution and emotional learning, he has gone from cold and heartless to greedy and arrogant, never letting go of anyone who makes him unhappy.
As it turned out, the system made another small mistake and Lord GOD caught it in the act and delegated it to the job of sorting through data waste that no system wants to do.
With one hand in his trouser pocket, 089 watched the veteran Lord GOD lapdog being dragged away with the same look of apt, congenial shock and gossip as those around him.
How similar it was that day to now.
It’s just that the person who has been unjustly accused and desperately wants to plead his case has changed.
089 remember everything that happened that day.
That day, both 023 and he were free and he was about to ask 023 out for dinner when he saw 061 being forced back into the interrogation room.
”I didn’t send Chi Xiaochi any information about the system.” Faced with the lapdog sent by Lord GOD, Lou Ying tried to argue, “I strictly adhered to the confidentiality rules, I knew how serious it was to disclose information about the system without permission, there was no way I could have knowingly done so.”
”Strictly for the rules?”
The other party snorted, pulled up a light screen and took out a screenshot of the message.
Above is his chat screen with Chi Xiaochi, which clearly shows a message.
”I’m currently working at a place called the Scum Attack Recycling System and have now come to the world you’re in in order to complete assist the host with his mission ……”
Lou Ying saw the completely non-existent paragraph and, after ten seconds of silence, looked up and said calmly, “I demand to see the source code for this data. I suspect it has been tampered with.”
The other side snapped off the light screen and said in a stern voice, “What do you mean by that? The evidence is overwhelming and you still want to deny it?”
Lou Ying said, “Why should I admit to something I haven’t done?”
The other party let out a strange laugh: “You really don’t want to cry until you see the coffin. Your host has reported you, saying that you are always maintaining excessively intimate contact with non-mission subjects these days, and that he agreed to your meeting with Chi Xiaochi because you softened him up, but on reflection, he still felt it was inappropriate and wanted you to return to him and not do anything unprofessional. Once you investigate, sure enough …… tsk, 061 , you’ve got a lot of nerve.”
Lou Ying closed her eyes for a moment after hearing who had reported her.
He repeated his request, “I’m asking to see the source code of the data.”
The other man had bowed his head and signed the interrogation report, “Don’t expect to deny what you’ve sent yourself, it’s useless.”
Lou Ying retreats, “Then let me explain to Xiaochi.”
The other side sneered, “Do you want to reveal any more secrets out? You don’t think so.”
”You let me, stand outside for nine hours and watch him ……” This cold response called Lou Ying’s hidden emotions to explode in an instant, his eyes red with heartache and filled with the image of Chi Xiaochi smashing his bottle and leaving alone, holding his suit, “Isn’t that enough?! I just want to explain to him-”
Across the table, the system put down its light pen and said with a smile, “Don’t explain. You don’t stand a chance.”
Shortly after the report was sent to the “in-between” section, a “pro forma” penalty notice was issued.
089 and 023 pleaded with Lord GOD countless times, but were unable to prevent this ending.
After being pushed into the formatting machine and the cleaning button pressed, Lou Ying didn’t even scream.
089 does not know what kind of pain it was, or with what strength he held on, except that he planted himself out of the formatting machine soaked to the skin, propped his hands on the ground and shuddered for a while before spitting out a mouthful of blood.
A jewelled ring, clutched in his palm, also tumbled out.
His lips opened and closed slowly, and before his eyes, which were filled with a thick black mist, a familiar figure ran towards him, and before his eyes an invisible, dark, iron door was slowly closing to lock the man out.
”Xiaochi,” 089 heard Lou Ying let out a low moan, “……Xiaochi.”
089 creeped out and was just about to cover his mouth when he heard a surprised shrill voice behind him, “He’s not washed up!”
The lapdog in charge of monitoring the “execution” immediately turned on his communicator: “Boss, 061 is not formatted cleanly!”
023’s face turned and he pounced on him to punch him, “What the fuck is wrong with you!!!”
At the summons of the dog-leg, Lord GOD in human form came to the cleaning room.
That was the first time 089 saw what Lord GOD looked like.
He came to Lou Ying, looked down at him for a moment, and after noticing whose name he was mumbling on his open lips, raised the corner of his lips sarcastically and gave the coldest of instructions, “Wash again.”
Lou Ying, who had lost her senses, was no longer able to fight the sharp, sharp pain that was about to crush her brain.
A dull cry of pain could not be suppressed, a sound that came from the chamber and tore at the heart.
…… The pitch-black door in his head finally closed with a bang.
And 023 and 089 were thrown out of the cleaning room.
023 slumped in 089’s arms, his eyes and orbs red: “I’ll get him! I’m going to kill that son of a bitch! Don’t you stop me!”
089 covered his ears, “Okay, okay. I’ll remember, I’ll find a way to get him.”
023 There was a sob in his voice, “You fool, what can you do?”
089’s voice was soft and soothing as he said, “There’s always a way.”
023 gradually realised his powerlessness and helplessly raised his hand and pounded two punches into 089’s chest.
089 supported him and crouched with him outside the door of the cleaning room.
023 asks, “When he comes out, will he not know anyone.”
”Hmm.”
”Does he not even remember us …… even Chi Xiaochi.”
”Well.” 089 said, “But we can ask them to get to know each other again.”
”No.” 023 immediately shook his head, “No. Isn’t that why he’s Chi Xiaochi this time – as soon as it comes to Chi Xiaochi, he’s not him.”
He said, “Why did he tell Chi Xiaochi what was going on in the system? Is he out of his mind?!”
089 closed his eyes and did not dismiss 023’s words.
He had better believe all of Lord GOD’s rhetoric. Otherwise, Lord GOD will turn his attention to them sooner or later.
023 shrank into 089’s arms and asked 089 in a trembling voice, “We can’t tell him about Chi Xiaochi, it’s best that …… he forgets about it in the meantime, and we’ll tell him when …… he’s going back.”
089 The ring he had just picked up from Lou Ying’s hand was clutched tightly in his hand, his palm aching with pain.
A cold light that screamed under his eyes but was well hidden from 023: “Well. Don’t tell him.”
……
Time back to the present.
089 leaned against the wall and lazily took a lollipop, unwrapped it and held it in his mouth.
Until the lapdog disappeared in front of him, 089 still looked away in the direction he had left.
089 is not wearing work clothes today, his jumper is relatively generous in size, loosely accentuating the contours of his collarbone and slender neckline, he is nestled against the wall, his eyes narrowed and the corner of his mouth teased with a small if cold smile.
Someone greeted him from a short distance away, “89, I’ve come to draw lots.”
089 held the candy, only to turn his head and add a heartless smile to his face, “Here you are!”
While his mouth was diligent in its promises, his movements were slow, wandering step by step towards his office, peacefully enjoying himself.
Lou Ying has reacquainted himself with Chi Xiaochi and is now in a good relationship. The ring that Lou Ying did not give away has been given to 023 for safekeeping and can be returned at any time.
He returned the disk and he was sure Chi Xiaochi would be able to crack it soon.
As for 023, he also entrusted Lou Ying with its care.
All the things that could be arranged and boosted, he did his best.
Now, he just needs to prepare for his return.
…… After this draw, he will have just over 170 missions left.
