The unscrupulous system forced me to frantically test the small black room

"Sir, they have all left. Should we call a taxi now?" Gong Cheng asked sideways.

"I suddenly feel like going to the bathroom. Wait for me, I'll be back soon."

Tao Zhi returned to the hot pot restaurant again, walked into a toilet cubicle with unsteady steps, and locked the door with trembling hands.

Tao Zhi lowered his head, feeling a slight pain in his heart. His hand holding the door handle lost its temperature and his joints turned white.

It was not until there was no one around and he was alone in this small space that Tao Zhi let his emotions run wild.

"Fanfan, are you there?" Tao Zhi asked.

"I'm here." Fanfan replied.

"Didn't you say that the protagonist would appear in five years? Why is it so much earlier?" Tao Zhi choked up.

"The development of the plot itself is uncontrollable, and even small changes will lead to chain changes in the plot."

"But the ending is predetermined. Host, please catch up with the original progress as soon as possible, complete the scumbag mission, and get enough points." Fanfan said.

"What should I do?" Tao Zhi asked.

"Break up with the protagonist before the protagonist returns to the United States, earn hatred points and humiliation points, and encourage the protagonist to agree to the invitation and go to the United States with the protagonist." Fanfan said.

Before Gu Dongnan returns to the United States, which is next June.

There is only half a year left between him and Gong Cheng.

Half a year later, Gong Cheng will follow Gu Dongnan to the United States and officially embark on the right track of his life.

He will grow and become stronger because of this, he will gain status, money and fame, and then by spending every day with Gu Dongnan, he will get his predetermined love and happiness.

Tao Zhi's throat was dry and his eyes were misty. The pain in his heart almost made him choke.

"Fanfan, what will happen if I fail to complete the task?" Tao Zhi asked.

"The mission fails, the host will be wiped out, and the flow of time in this be world line will stop."

"Then a new world line will be reopened, and a new host will carry out the mission again until this article is completed and the ending is achieved." Fanfan's voice was cold.

This means that if the mission fails, the consequence is not just your own death.

Everyone you are familiar with in this world, including your family, loved ones and friends, will disappear because of this.

Then there will be a new world line, a new Tao Zhi will meet the new them, they will become relatives, friends and even lovers, no different from themselves.

Tao Zhi suddenly calmed down.

At this moment, Tao Zhi clearly remembered that everything he had now was obtained by cheating with his poor acting skills.

The person that my father and brother doted on was never me, but Tao Zhi.

You are not the only one who can laugh and play with your friends. If anyone else becomes Tao Zhi, they can also become friends.

Even the fact that Gong Cheng fell in love with him was a wrong result woven out of his lies and deceptions from the very beginning.

I feel like a despicable thief who stole some things that did not belong to me and was complacent about it for so long, and now I am unexpectedly notified to return them.

Tears rolled down his cheeks, pouring out continuously. Tao Zhi clenched his fists and held the door to support his body. Sobs flowed from his lips and tears blurred his vision.

Tao Zhi's crying was suppressed and low, and the pain like a knife made Tao Zhi cover his heart with his hands in pain.

From the very beginning, I should have known that this was a beautiful dream, a dream from which I would eventually wake up.

It was I who allowed myself to indulge in it, to become addicted to everything here, and to let the shadow under my feet take root and take root in this world.

It is so ridiculous that I am now notified that I have to uproot myself.

When Tao Zhi came out, almost an hour had passed. Gong Cheng came to greet him when he saw Tao Zhi going out.

Tao Zhi looked at Gong Cheng, whose face had turned pale from the cold, and felt a surge of grievance.

"Are you an idiot? Don't you know to go into the store and wait?"

"I asked you to wait, and you're just waiting outside the door? Can't you see how heavy the snow is?"

"You do whatever you are told to do. Can't you have a little temper and opinion of your own?"

Why do you have to follow the plot, why do you have to walk towards the so-called destined person.

Why are you the protagonist? Why must the protagonist only be with the protagonist?

You obviously love me, why do I have to push you to others?

Tao Zhi wanted to vent freely, to express his grievances and unwillingness, but the words were stuck in his throat, causing pain and bitterness.

Tao Zhi knew clearly that if he acted on his own will, this fictional world would be buried with him.

Tao Zhi's voice was filled with tears. He had been crying for so long that the corners of his eyes were still red and swollen.

Gong Cheng was stunned by Tao Zhi's sudden anger, but after seeing that Tao Zhi obviously had been crying, he only felt distressed and worried.

Gong Cheng gently reached out and touched Tao Zhi's red eyes.

Tao Zhimeng slapped Gong Cheng's hand away and lowered his head to hide the sadness that he could hardly suppress.

Tao Zhi lowered his head and walked out into the falling snow, and Gong Cheng followed closely.

The street lights were dim, and snowflakes were falling on Tao Zhi's shoulders and head, making him shiver with cold. However, Tao Zhi didn't care at this time. He just wanted to walk away with his head covered, not wanting to think about anything.

Under a street lamp, Gong Cheng grabbed Tao Zhi's arm and pulled Tao Zhi back. The movement of turning his head made the snowflakes on his body fall off, and the snowflakes on his eyelashes melted away, leaving behind fine, sparkling water droplets.

When he turned around, Gong Cheng met the look in Tao Zhi's eyes that he had not had time to conceal. It was a mixture of sadness and grievance, and resentment and helplessness.

Just one glance and Gong Cheng was shocked.

Under the light, along with the falling snowflakes, Tao Zhi's tears, which he could no longer hold back, burst out from his eyes.

Before Tao Zhi could even open his mouth, Gong Cheng suddenly hugged him.

Tao Zhi reached out to push, but Gong Cheng hugged him even tighter, almost as if he was holding Tao Zhi into his bones.

Gong Cheng's eyes turned red. He pressed Tao Zhi's head against his chest with his left hand, and put his right hand around Tao Zhi's shoulders, holding him in his arms.

Tao Zhi struggled for a while but failed to push Gong Cheng away. The warmth in Gong Cheng's arms came over him, warming up Tao Zhi's cold cheeks. The grievances in his heart began to sprout under this warm nourishment.

Tao Zhi put his arms around Gong Cheng's waist and started crying. At first, his voice was low and suppressed, but then he started to howl like a child, no longer trying to hide his feelings, and he let out all his grievances and unwillingness.

Gong Cheng said nothing, but patted Tao Zhi's back gently with red eyes to soothe his emotions.

Snow flakes fell on the two of them, a thin layer of snow covering their black hair, which fell to where they were cuddling and gradually melted.

When Tao Zhi gradually calmed down, he raised his head and looked at Gong Cheng with red and swollen eyes.

"Don't ask me." Tao Zhi cried

"Well, I won't ask." Gong Cheng's voice was hoarse, and there was an uncontrollable ambiguity in his eyes.

Tao Zhi sniffed.

"Why don't you ask me?" Tao Zhi said.

Maybe if you ask, I will lose control and tell you.

I’m telling you that I’m not Tao Zhi in this book. I’m telling you that your destined person is Gu Dongnan, not me. I’m telling you that my approach to you and my care for you are all based on deception.

And tell you, I love you.

"If you don't want to talk, I won't ask. I will listen to you in everything." Gong Cheng said gently.

Even if you have many secrets that you don't want to tell me, as long as you are still by my side, it's fine, Gong Cheng thought.

What...are you going to listen to me?

But I only have one choice.

A string of tears rolled down the corners of Tao Zhi's eyes, and Gong Cheng wiped them away with his fingertips with a distressed look.

After Tao Zhi calmed down, Gong Cheng took out paper to help Tao Zhi wipe his nose.

At this time, Tao Zhi's eyes were red and swollen, his nose was as red as a hawthorn ball, his cheeks were bulging, and the corners of his mouth still couldn't stop bending down.

"Nothing happened to me, I was just unhappy for a moment."

"You know, men always have a few days every month when their mood swings." Tao Zhi said and sniffed again.

"Yes, sir, you are right." Gong Cheng gently helped Tao Zhi brush away the snowflakes on his fur collar.

"Gong Cheng, there's still half a year." Tao Zhi looked at Gong Cheng without blinking.

You will leave me in half a year.

"Well, I will graduate in half a year." Gong Cheng said.

In half a year, I will be what you call an adult.

Tao Zhi leaned over and kissed Gong Cheng on the lips. Under the light, Tao Zhi's eyes were flickering, as if there were emotions flowing, but Gong Cheng was unable to capture it in time.

"Gong Cheng, we have to be fine in the next six months. We have to be happy every day, do many things, eat many things, and go to many places." Tao Zhi's eyes were full of tenderness.

Gong Cheng felt an inexplicable sense of wonder when he heard this. He seemed a little uneasy, but he didn't know why.

"Well, I'll listen to you, sir." Gong Cheng replied.
