Don't think of rebirth.

After Gu Qinghuan returned home, she ate fried rice almost with her eyes closed, and then went straight to take a shower and go to bed.

Since junior high school, this is the first time that Gu Qinghuan has fallen asleep before nine o'clock in the evening.

She lay in bed, feeling a little dizzy and suspected that she had a cold, but she didn't have the strength to shout out, and then she fell asleep in a daze.

Gu Qinghuan suddenly woke up. It was dark all around him and he couldn't feel his own body, but he was conscious very clearly.

She tried hard, but still felt nothing. After thinking for a while, she tried to call out in the same way she usually communicated with the system: [System? ]

System: [Eh? Host, why are you here... Oh, it's time to settle. ]

Gu Qinghuan was a little confused: [What settlement? ]

The system did not answer immediately, but said first: [This is the space I am in. When you signed the contract before, you came here once. Do you still remember it? ]

Gu Qinghuan recalled the time when he fell into the water and lost consciousness: [It’s right here. ]

The system continued: [As for the settlement, it is because the current task progress of the object has reached 75%, which meets the settlement standard, and the reward settlement can be carried out. ]

[Is it Xinbao?] Gu Qinghuan immediately perked up, [It was 63% a few days ago, but it’s 75% today?]

[Yes, she has a heart that will never sink. In terms of "more possibilities of fate", she can already rely on her own strength to create, which makes the progress grow very fast.] System explanation.

[When you, the host, don't know, she is also acting with her own strength. No matter what the result will be, it is a new choice and a new destiny. ]

[As long as the progress reaches 75%, the thing that can make people reborn will give up rewinding the time of the object because it is too difficult. ]

[So, when it reaches 75%, the task of the object can be considered completed and settlement can be carried out. ]

Gu Qinghuan originally thought that the task progress had reached 100%, but she didn't expect that it would be completed at 75%. She felt happy, but also a little unreal that she had achieved her expectations ahead of schedule.

She suppressed her emotion for the moment and asked: [Did I come here for the settlement? ]

[Yes, according to the energy rewarded after settlement, your status needs to be adjusted. Coming here can temporarily break away from the rules of the world and avoid abnormal situations.] The system replied.

Gu Qinghuan expressed his understanding and began to look forward to the system's settlement.

System: [Then, let’s start the settlement. ]

This sentence seemed to press a switch, and in the pitch-black space in Gu Qinghuan's perception, a faint light suddenly appeared.

System: [First key node: school opening day]

Gu Qinghuan saw Yu Xin on the first day of school. She was wearing an ill-fitting school uniform. After getting out of the Yu family's car, Yu Yuan ignored her and walked away. She stood there at a loss.

The gazes of the people around her made her even more nervous. She held the straps of her schoolbag, but didn't know which teaching building to go to, so she could only follow the crowd and follow other students.

She ran to the second-year teaching building, and when she saw the door number, she realized that she had gone to the wrong place. In panic, she grabbed the sleeve of a boy passing by and asked about the location of Class 3 of the first year of high school.

The other person shook off her hand in disgust, saying that she was impolite, and walked away.

However, Yu Xin fell to the ground due to his force and sprained her foot.

By the time she found the classroom of Class 3 of Grade 1, the bell had already rung. She limped into the classroom under the gaze of the whole class. She did not dare to sit in the front row, but lowered her head and found an empty seat in the last row.

When she introduced herself, her voice was soft and her words were vague. She simply said her name and sat down quickly.

……

Yu Xin's entire day's experience turned into fragmented pictures, spreading out in front of Gu Qinghuan's eyes.

She wanted to touch Yu Xin in the picture, but she could only watch.

She recalled that day when Yu Xin smiled at her because of an egg toast and a glass of water.

However, in these scenes, Yu Xin never smiled once.

System: [The first node settlement is complete. ]

As the system finished speaking, these dark images shrank and gathered in an instant, rushing towards the faint light like a meteor.

The light spot became bright in an instant. Although the brightness increase was not very high, it was indeed much brighter than before.

System: [Second key node: monthly exam.]

It is said to be a monthly exam, but the actual scene that appears is after the monthly exam.

Although Yu Xin in the picture did not achieve fourth place in the grade, she was still first in the class and tenth in the grade.

She was rarely happy and went back to tell the Yu family the news.

However, the Yu family did not believe her. She wanted to explain herself, but in her anxiety she spoke incoherently, which only made Yu Wenli even more unhappy.

The next day, Yu Jinxin dragged Yu Xin to her class with great fanfare, and asked Yu Xin in front of everyone whether she had cheated.

Chen Zelin tried to stop him, saying that although Yu Xin was quiet in class, she had always studied very hard, which was the result she deserved.

Yu Jinxin did not listen to Chen Zelin's words. He just asked to check the surveillance footage of the exam and said, "If there was no cheating, why don't you let us check it?"

Finally, the Dean of Academic Affairs rushed over and provided the surveillance footage of the exam in order to calm Yu Jinxin down.

According to the surveillance results, Yu Xin did not cheat, but when she returned to the classroom, her classmates' whispers all came into her ears.

"Is that her brother? Why would a brother suspect his sister of cheating?"

"Who knows? Maybe she behaves differently at home than at school?"

"How different are you to leave such a bad impression on your brother?"

Yu Xin didn't understand, and she also wanted to know why her biological brother would doubt her to this extent.

She became more and more frightened and uncomfortable, and finally picked up her schoolbag and ran out of the school.

She walked back to the Yu family by herself, then locked herself in the room, not wanting to go out again.

……

It’s so uncomfortable and painful.

Just looking at it is so depressing that it is unbearable.

Gu Qinghuan wanted to tear all these images into pieces, as if this would be enough to destroy this node-oriented future.

System: [Second node settlement completed]

This time, the picture converged into a brighter meteor, and the light spot became brighter as well.

It is no longer faint, and can even be said to be a little dazzling.

Then there are the third, fourth and fifth nodes, but the images displayed at these three nodes are like mosaics and cannot be seen clearly at all.

Gu Qinghuan asked: [Why can't I see these nodes? ]

System answer: [These are the situations that Yu Xin will encounter when she moves towards the most desperate future according to the current timeline. Some of the people or things involved may still have an impact on the future, so they cannot be revealed to you.]

For example, without Gu Qinghuan's interference, Yu Xin might have met someone who would make her even more miserable because she did not go to school during the period from the monthly exam to the midterm exam.

However, with Gu Qinghuan's interference, even though Yu Xin did not meet that person, there is no guarantee that she will not meet him again in the future.

If Gu Qinghuan saw that person now, when he met that person in the future, he would realize at the first moment that this was a bad person.

In order to avoid the impact of such "foreknowledge", the system chooses to block it.

Gu Qinghuan figured this out quickly, she didn't care, just blocked it.

She believed that Yu Xin now had the power to save herself and would no longer fall into despair.

Even if Yu Xin really accidentally embarked on a road that ended in despair, she would stay with Yu Xin.

She is concrete, asphalt, a bulldozer, and a roller.

She will carve out another shining path for her.
