Recap
Shen Lianzhe looked at him for a long time, the warmth in his eyes faded, and his eyes became cold again.
‘No. 1, after I enter the court, I will remove you completely. You did not abet me in the mission world, and this caused disputes between us. During the mission, you were trapped by me. When this mission is over, report me immediately.’
‘Although the combat team has been split up, the members of the team still obey my command. I will now officially hand over the command to you.’
The system said nothing and silently hid the token he gave.
Shen Lianzhe lowered his eyes and looked at Chu Shici without doing anything.
He was not in a hurry, they will have a chance to meet again.
___
When Chu Shici woke up, except for the headache caused by the hangover, he felt nothing special.
He was so drunk that he couldn’t remember what he did last night and didn’t know how he got to bed.
He looked in the mirror and brushed his teeth, always feeling that his mouth seemed a little swollen.
Shen Lianzhe floated beside him, tilting his head to look at him.
Seeing Chu Shici raise his hand to press his lips lightly, he remembered what happened last night, and his cheeks flushed lightly.
The door was closed tightly, and there was no sign of anyone coming in. Chu Shici didn’t take this abnormality to heart.
In order to make ends meet, he found a job in a coffee shop.
He works as a cafe waiter during the day and bartends at night. During his days off, he will also take some orders online.
Coffee latte art, bartending, sewing dolls, and making popular desserts.
Shen Lianzhe found that Chu Shici knows a lot.
He has strong learning ability and self-discipline. If he hadn’t had that kind of childhood, he might have been enjoying his youth on a college campus like his peers, instead of running around desperately to make ends meet.
Maybe it was the first time he was looking for a partner, but when he encountered a scumbag like the gambler, Chu Shici began to stop looking for a boyfriend in the bar.
But his social circle is limited, he doesn’t know where to look.
There is no one to accompany him, and there is nowhere to vent the pressure accumulated in his heart. In order to relieve his stress, Chu Shici gradually found other ways to vent.
He found several websites, one for reading, another for comics, and two for watching short videos.
Chu Shici was obsessed with pornography and couldn’t extricate himself.
When he was watching a movie in bed for the first time, Shen Lianzhe happened to be lying next to him.
Seeing that Chu Shici was looking so seriously, he also looked at the phone screen curiously.
In the movie, three men are fighting, and the fight is fierce. Two gongs and one shou, the three races of black, white and yellow gathered on the same bed.
Shen Lianzhe was stunned.
He subconsciously raised his hand to cover the screen, hoping that Chu Shici would stop looking at it.
But he is in a soul state, his entire body is transparent, and his actions have no meaning.
The content of the video does not involve the privacy of the host or the mission target. There is no mosaic blocking it, and the boss can see it clearly.
It silently moved closer: [The quality of this film is good.]
Shen Lianzhe’s originally pale face now turned red.
He turned away and stopped looking at the screen, ‘That’s enough, please be quiet.’
[It’s just watching a movie, why are you so anxious?]
Shen Lianzhe said nothing.
He had a very strict upbringing and had never been exposed to these things. Watching such exciting content made him feel quite stimulated.
Chu Shici was the only one in the room, so he simply played the sound without wearing headphones.
Shen Lianzhe closed his eyes and could still hear the sounds.
He really couldn’t stand this, so he took refuge in the system space with a red face.
The boss handed him a cigarette, but Shen Lianzhe didn’t take it.
He sat quietly on the sofa, suddenly feeling a sense of crisis in his heart.
Chu Shici is an adult and has his own desires. Shen Lianzhe cannot appear in front of him. Sooner or later he will do that kind of thing with others in the future.
The boss obviously saw what he was thinking and casually asked him what he was going to do.
Shen Lianzhe pursed his lips, with a little anxiousness in his eyes. But when he spoke, his tone was as calm as usual.
‘Didn’t you hear last night that he said he likes me and won’t find anyone else.’
[He only said the first half of the sentence. You added the latter parts yourself.]
‘If he has me in his heart, he will not sleep with anyone else. He is not a casual person.’
The boss poked its head out and watched the movie with Chu Shici. Hearing Shen Lianzhe’s words, it clicked its tongue.
[He doesn’t even know what your name is. He can only call you fried noodles brother. He doesn’t know if you are gay, if you are married and have children, or if you are still alive.]
Shen Lianzhe pursed his lips tightly and remained silent.
The boss took a puff of cigarette and said, [You have never made a promise to him, and his feelings for you are purely one-sided. The most important thing is that he can’t find you at all and has no hope.]
[White moonlight at least leaves a shadow: you don’t even have a shadow. You can’t even be considered to be his white moonlight.]
[You are at best a person who moved him when he was young. It was a short-term beautiful memory in his life, nothing more.]
Shen Lianzhe knew it was right.
He didn’t give Ah Ci any hope. Sooner or later, Ah Ci’s feelings for him would turn into pure gratitude.
___
As time passed, Chu Shici’s mentality gradually changed.
Based on his age, the little brother who invited him to eat fried noodles probably already has his own family.
Even if he could really be found, Chu Shici didn’t know what to do.
He is in heavy debt and has a bunch of enemies behind him.
If that little brother is gay and wants to be with him, he will be implicated and suffer along with him.
If he is a straight man, his appearance will only cause trouble to the other party and even make him annoyed.
This is a major event in life, and Chu Shici thought about it seriously for a long time.
In the end, he decided to let that little brother become a beautiful memory of his childhood and no longer have other ideas.
After thinking about it, Chu Shici began to change his living habits.
When solving physical needs, he no longer thinks about his brother. The object in his mind was replaced by a man with a European and American figure and a face full of mosaics.
During the holidays, he would no longer buy fried noodles to celebrate. Instead, he will eat other snacks with similar prices to celebrate.
Even the personalized signature of his chatting profile changed from [Fried noodles are the best!] to [No1 to depend on, finding some1 online.]
When Chu Shici changed his signature, Shen Lianzhe stood behind him.
After seeing the content clearly, his eyes instantly turned red.
His special status is gone, and the person he likes is looking for another man.
Although his boss explained to him that the new signature was just for fun, Chu Shici’s friends on the list were either straight or are 0s themselves, so he was just joking.
But Shen Lianzhe was still upset.
When Chu Shici fell asleep, Shen Lianzhe turned into a physical entity and appeared beside his bed. He secretly took his cell phone and changed his personalized signature back.
Early the next morning, Chu Shici looked at his chatting profile blankly.
For a moment, he thought he was too stressed and had memory problems.
Chu Shici revised it again and found that it had not been changed back automatically, so he put the matter behind him.
Where he couldn’t see, Shen Lianzhe was wiping away tears.
It’s not that he cares about the signature, he’s not possessive to that degree yet.
Shen Lianzhe just suddenly realized that the person he liked had really given up on him.
___
Because of Zhe-ge’s intervention, Chu Shici was different from the protagonist in the original novel. He spent his childhood safely. With Shen Lianzhe secretly buying him food, he was not always hungry so he did not have to resort to selling his body just for a bite to eat.
The environment he was supposed to grow up in has changed, thus Chu Shici’s way of thinking is also very different from the Xiao Ci in the novel.
Although he longed for companionship, he also retained his personal dignity.
The scumbag who played Xiao Ci around in the original novel did not get any benefit from Chu Shici.
Within a few days of his appearance, he was admitted to the hospital.
With Shen Lianzhe protecting him, Chu Shici’s legs were not broken by his father. He just had a shadow in his heart and would limp subconsciously when he walked.
This made him have a low self-esteem and is very sensitive to this aspect of his.
Those scumbags who almost tortured Xiao Ci to death were not good people in the first place. When they get along with Chu Shici, they always look at his problematic leg with contempt.
Chu Shici had a bad temper and hit people easily. Anyone who dared to make trouble with his legs would be pinned to the ground and beaten.
Chu Shici relied on this method to screen the people around him.
After choosing to let go of his obsession, he did have the idea of giving dating a chance again.
But he hasn’t fallen to that level yet. Even if he goes out on a date, he still wants to find a man with decent character and appearance.
The first time Chu Shici had this idea was on New Year’s Eve.
In order to avoid his enemies, he hid in a small county in the northeast.
Everyone was immersed in the joy of the New Year while he was alone in a small rental house, cooking frozen dumplings.
The room was not soundproof, and he could hear the landlord’s family coming from next door.
The landlord’s family of five made dumplings and watched the Spring Festival Gala. Children were running around the house, basking in the atmosphere.
Chu Shici sat at the window, eating dumplings and watching the fireworks outside.
After losing his job again and being forced to leave the environment he had finally adapted to, Chu Shici’s whole person became visibly depressed.
Maybe it was because he was numb, but he couldn’t cry for a while. He just looked at the fireworks and said, “It’s so beautiful.”
If Shen Lianzhe hadn’t been following him, noticed that he was in a bad mood, and stopped him in time, Chu Shici would have committed suicide that night.
Chu Shici was worried that if he died in the rental house, it would affect the landlord’s ability to rent a house in the future.
After eating the dumplings, he left the room wearing a down jacket and wandered around the street. Trying to find a place to end his life quietly where it won’t affect others.
Shen Lianzhe didn’t understand what he was doing at first, until Chu Shici found a long-abandoned unfinished building, took out a fruit knife and pointed it at his neck.
When he was about to commit suicide, Shen Lianzhe tapped his forehead and made him fall into a deep sleep.
Shen Lianzhe snatched the fruit knife away, held the sleeping Chu Shici in his arms and kissed him. His lips were trembling with fear, and his tears couldn’t stop flowing down.
The boss looked at him for a long time and said in surprise: [Why didn’t I know that you could cry so much before?]
Shen Lianzhe didn’t say anything and kept crying.
He brought Chu Shici back to the rental house and slept with him for the night.
Early the next morning, Chu Shici woke up and found that not only was he not dead, but he had also returned home inexplicably.
He checked around the house several times. There were no water stains on the floor, his down jacket was dry, and the fruit knife was placed in the kitchen.
There were indications that he had not left the room last night.
Chu Shici thought for a long time.
He hasn’t had a good rest this week. It may be that he was too tired to distinguish between dreams and reality, so he dreamt that he wants to commit suicide.
The first suicide was secretly prevented by Shen Lianzhe, and Chu Shici stopped persisting.
He always felt that it would be very comfortable to do that kind of thing. He had always been curious and wanted to give it a try.
After he finishes enjoying it and after satisfying his curiosity, he wants to go back to his hometown and stab his father, stepmother, and two idiot brothers to death.
After finishing all the things he wanted to do, he will leave this terrible world.
When Chu Shici was writing out his plan, Shen Lianzhe was watching behind him.
Chu Shici had neither slept with anyone nor killed anyone. Both of these things were very difficult for him and were beyond his ability to do.
He kept writing and murmured to himself quietly: “No one in this world cares about me anyway, so I have nothing to lose.”
Shen Lianzhe lowered his eyes and put his hand weakly on Chu Shici’s shoulder.
He cares and he wants Ah Ci to live.
___
After New Year’s Eve, Chu Shici began to look for someone to sleep with.
But he is just a king of words, but a coward in reality. He could never get over the hurdle in his heart and didn’t know how to have a relationship with a stranger.
The plan made no progress, so Chu Shici settled down again and continued to live his life.
He is very good at hiding his thoughts, and no matter how bad his mental state is, he always appears in high spirits in front of others.
But Shen Lianzhe was quite frightened by what happened on New Year’s Eve.
Every night he would run to Chu Shici’s bed and hold him in his arms, which would make him feel at ease.
He bought some medicine from his system and secretly gave it to Chu Shici. This medicine can improve sleep and relieve people’s mental stress.
It’s expensive, but it works great.
After taking it for more than a year, Chu Shici gradually came out of his decadence. His brain is no longer hazy, and his thoughts are no longer as extreme as before.
Chu Shici didn’t continue looking for a 1, he started to have other thoughts.
One night, several express packages arrived at home. While Chu Shici was unpacking the boxes, Shen Lianzhe squatted beside him and looked down.
Private delivery, the packaging didn’t say what it was.
Chu Shici closed the door and drew the curtains. Under Shen Lianzhe’s gaze, he unpacked a bunch of adults’ toys from the box.
The system who was watching the fun burst out laughing.
Shen Lianzhe didn’t understand what it was yet. He was staring at the box closest to him, reading the instructions carefully.
His blush intensified, and he finally turned his head to the side.
Chu Shici didn’t want to die anymore. A scum is worse than a toy, so he decided to do it himself.
After reading the instructions, he was ready to put it into practice.
After he took off his pajamas, he reached the standard of exposing his personal privacy. The shielding mechanism is triggered and the system is directly blocked.
Shen Lianzhe was left to face all this alone.
___
Looking at the mission records, Chu Shici’s cheeks began to turn red.
Zhe-ge is too thin-skinned to stare at him.
Through Zhe-ge’s perspective, Chu Shici could only see the wall, which shows that Shen Lianzhe decisively chose to face the wall and reflect.
But Zhe-ge not only has eyes, he also has ears. He heard all the sounds his beloved made himself.
He clung to the wall, almost squeezing his whole body into it. But the voice behind him seemed to have some kind of magic, constantly tempting him to look back.
Shen Lianzhe resisted and did not move. The whole scene was frozen on the yellowed old wall.
Chu Shici watched the video and listened to the noises.
He felt that his voice sounded pretty good, so he silently liked it in his heart. After liking it, he thought of something.
He took off his glasses and looked at the two light balls that were playing with each other.
“Did you edit this video?”
The boss pushed the system away and nodded casually.
“Then those things I did…”
[Captain Zhe didn’t watch the few times you did it. All it recorded was the wall. As for the sound, because it triggers your privacy, all relevant parts are silent.]
Chu Shici breathed a sigh of relief.
At that time, he didn’t know that there was one person beside him, and he didn’t have any scruples in doing things.
Those sounds when played for interesting Zhe-ge are exciting. When played for the boss, it’s a pure social disaster.
The system had not seen the video and asked curiously: [What did Ah Ci do?]
The boss glanced at it and said, [Love.]
[Wow! Was he with Captain Zhe?]
[No.]
The CP fan leader was greatly shocked, and the banner that had been waving back and forth dropped.
The boss will explain it to the system later, so Chu Shici doesn’t need to worry. He put on his glasses and continued watching the records.
The screen moves forward quickly, with only five minutes left on the progress bar.
Shen Lianzhe’s mission is coming to an end, and Chu Shici’s original life is also coming to an end.
At that time, Chu Shici decided to go back to his hometown because he really couldn’t get rid of his enemies.
During the Mid-Autumn Festival, he carried moon cakes and a stick. He first gave Mid-Autumn Festival gifts to his old father, and then beat all four beasts until they were hospitalized.
Therefore, Chu Shici stayed in the station, spent the Mid-Autumn Festival with the police and other criminals, and successfully escaped the pursuit of his enemies.
He always commits crimes, and entering the police station is just like returning home, without any discomfort.
After coming out a few months later, Chu Shici rented a house opposite the police station.
He doesn’t plan to run around the country anymore. He has had enough of this life of wandering. If they have the guts, they will come over and kill him.
Not only did his perseverance reach its limit, but Shen Lianzhe’s patience was gradually worn away.
He watched with his own eyes the person he liked, running away like a frightened bird. He has nightmares every night and even cries in his sleep.
Anger accumulated in Shen Lianzhe’s heart.
After Chu Shici was frightened into tears by threatening text messages again, Shen Lianzhe completely exploded.
He decided to solve the problem fundamentally so that his Ah Ci could live a stable life.
Shen Lianzhe ignored his system’s obstruction and went straight to the door. Divided all of Chu Shici’s enemies into parts.
After taking revenge, he returned to Chu Shici’s bedside again with blood all over his body.
If a plot supervisor makes such a big noise, the Supervision Department will definitely find something abnormal.
In a few more minutes, he would be taken away for investigation.
The system is a practical person. He quickly adjusted his mood and began to seize the time to study the follow-up plan with him.
Shen Lianzhe was still in soul state, and Chu Shici couldn’t see him.
He reached out and caressed his lover’s cheek, trying to remember his appearance in his heart.
No longer needing to hide around, Ah Ci can live a peaceful life in the future, but it’s time for them to separate.
Until now, Shen Lianzhe had never touched Chu Shici.
The system felt that this world was a total loss.
It asked Team Zhe what his plans were.
Shen Lianzhe took out a sum of money from a small vault and asked it to take some to take care of his lover. When he comes out of the Punishment Worlds, or when the rebellion succeeds, he will come back to pick up Chu Shici.
After hearing this, his system felt even more at a loss.
It endured for a long time, but it couldn’t hold it back any longer: [Have you ever thought that after you leave, he might be with someone else?]
It was a good thing that his system didn’t mention it. Thinking of the scene of Chu Shici being kissed by others, Shen Lianzhe’s face immediately darkened.
He gritted his teeth and lost his composure due to the stimulation, ‘What can I do?’
The system lit another cigarette and said, “It’s easy. I’ll extract his soul into the system space and hide it in my private research facility. When you come back, I’ll get him out for you.]
‘I don’t want to imprison him, he will be afraid.’
[No, for him it’s just a matter of sleep. As soon as he closes and opens his eyes, his little brother will appear in front of him. Time traveled to the future, all his enemies dead, and all of his pain became a thing of the past. What awaits him is a new happy life.]
Shen Lianzhe was very moved by what it said, and after handing over a large sum of money, he handed Chu Shici to it with confidence.
Because Shen Lianzhe was the former leader of the combat team, the Supervision Department was worried that he would resist, so many people came to arrest him.
In accordance with their agreement, the system sold Shen Lianzhe directly in front of the Supervision Department and quickly distanced itself from the relationship between the two.
The mission records end here and all playback is completed.
___
The boss took away the glasses: [Do you have anything to ask?]
Chu Shici didn’t recover for a while. He thought for a while: “This mission records…”
[Only I have it, the Supervision Department got the modified version.]
Chu Shici nodded.
Seeing that he stopped asking questions, the boss was a little suspicious: [You don’t want to know how you died suddenly?]
“You killed me.”
[Yes. After Captain Zhe was taken away, I killed you behind the Supervision Department’s back and took away your soul. I found an intern and asked you two to bond. After that, I sent you to the Punishment Worlds and issued you false missions.]
Chu Shici smiled: “Thank you.”
The boss grunted, [Aren’t you angry that I killed you?]
“No, no. This doesn’t count as death, this counts as transmigration. Besides, Zhe-ge was having a hard time in the Punishment Worlds. Fortunately, you got me there so that I can stay with him there.”
Before Chu Shici could finish speaking, his voice became choked with sobs.
Realizing that he was crying again, the boss turned to look at the system: [He has traveled through so many worlds and lived for hundreds of years in total, how come he can still cry so much.]
The system is admiring the beautiful man crying, and is so excited that it rubs its hands together.
[Captain Zhe is hundreds of years older than him, but he still likes to cry. Believe me, they look really good when they cry, especially when two people cry close to each other. That scene, tsk tsk, I don’t need these pants.]
[…]
Being with the system, the boss feels like he is losing blood every second.
___
It took Shen Lianzhe more than an hour to absorb the huge memory.
He held his head in pain, opened the hatch and walked out of the cell.
There were people standing outside the door, including men and women, all staring directly at him.
When he saw him coming out, he immediately crowded in front of him and called Captain Zhe.
Shen Lianzhe’s head hurt even more.
As he walked through the crowd, the deputy team leader explained to him, “Sister-in-law is still on the way and won’t be here for a while.”
Shen Lianzhe nodded and motioned for them to go down first as he wanted to rest for a while.
Seeing that the team leader was okay, the members of the combat team all rushed out with another cheer.
Shen Lianzhe found a chair in the lounge and sat down.
Not long after, a bunch of people shouted from outside, “Hello, sister-in-law!”
When Shen Lianzhe turned around to look, the door to the lounge just opened.
A blond man stood at the door, holding a ball in his arms.
The moment the two looked at each other, the man smiled brightly. Putting the ball aside, he shouted at him, “Zhe-ge!”
Before Shen Lianzhe could move, the man ran up to him in a few steps, sat directly in his arms, raised his head and kissed him.
Shen Lianzhe’s originally tense nerves relaxed at this moment.
He hugged Chu Shici tightly and whispered in his ear: “Ah Ci.”
