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

I don’t know who shouted “Let’s be together”, and people began to echo him one after another.

Even if you don't think it's a good thing, it's a two-way relationship between two people who love each other.

The excitement of the people around began to spread and surge, and the words "together" filled the scene.

Tao Zhi only felt dizzy and confused in his head, and the noise in his ears became blurred and could not be heard clearly.

A thin mist appeared in front of his eyes, and his eyelashes trembled as tears fell from the corners of his eyes. Tao Zhi tried hard to focus, using his eyes to trace the vague outline of Gong Cheng below the stage.

The heartbeat was so clear that it seemed to explode.

Tao Zhi tried hard to steady his shaky and exhausted body.

What just happened?

Did Gong Cheng agree to his confession?

Gong Cheng said he loved me in front of everyone?

How did the plot develop like this?

The plot shouldn't be like this, he should have rejected it sternly.

What did Gong Cheng say just now?

He said things could turn around, that we could work together, that there was no predetermined ending, and that he was not the so-called "protagonist."

These words were as if he knew that the world was a novel.

It was as if he already knew that he had to carry out the mission as an outsider.

Just a coincidence?

He said he could step down from the stage and work together to find a solution to the problem.

Can it really be solved?

Can I really escape the shackles of the plot and be with him?

He is the protagonist, maybe he can really do it?

Am I really qualified to hold this hand again?

By the time Tao Zhi reacted, he had already taken a step down the first step.

Perhaps, it is really possible not to wake up from a dream?

Even if the possibility of this happening is only one in ten thousand, can you be brave enough for it?

Tao Zhi walked down step by step, trembling, seemingly unconscious, yet also more sober than ever.

Tears dripped with his steps, and the love in his eyes flowed out, and Gong Cheng's facial features became clearer and clearer under the stage.

A gust of wind swept in with greater force than before, causing the roses to surge and countless petals to scatter across the sky, landing on the steps between the two of them, dyeing the entire staircase bright red.

The cheers from the audience were even louder and more continuous.

Tao Zhi clenched his fists, his trance had dissipated, his heart was no longer shaken, his steps became firm, and he approached Gongcheng step by step.

Gong Cheng's eyes were filled with joy as he watched his lover getting closer and closer to him.

Gong Cheng stretched out his hand, and Tao Zhi could see clearly the expectation in his eyes.

Tao Zhi stopped at the last step and stared at Gong Cheng in silence for a few moments, their eyes intertwined and lingering.

Although there was no exchange of words, some things were known to each other.

Tao Zhi extended his hand tremblingly, and covered it with his slightly cool fingertips. The moment his fingertips touched, a shrill alarm sounded.

Fanfan appeared and spun above the two men's heads, emitting red light.

"Warning, warning. A serious accident has occurred on the mission. The plot has deviated significantly."

"Friendly reminder, the key plot cannot be changed."

"Host, please immediately initiate rescue measures and complete the original plot where the protagonist is rejected by Gong Cheng and Tao Zhi's confession, so that the plot can be put on the right track."

"If the host cannot resolve the issue in time, the system will activate the world line plot emergency rescue system, and this confession plot will be forcibly reset."

"A major accident occurred on the mission due to the host's responsibility. If the host cannot save it in time, punishment measures will be initiated against the host."

Tao Zhi and Gong Cheng were both stunned, and Gong Cheng resisted the urge to go and watch Fanfan.

When the people in the audience saw the two of them successfully holding hands, they cheered so much that no one noticed their stiff state.

The key plot cannot be changed. What does it mean to force a reset of the plot?

What is the content of the punishment? Gong Cheng thought dully.

The two of them came to their senses at the same time and looked at each other. Their eyes met for a moment, and they both reacted at the same time.

Tao Zhi pulled his hand back almost unexpectedly, and the moment his fingertips withdrew, Gong Cheng grabbed Tao Zhi's wrist and pulled Tao Zhi down from the last step.

The two of them threw themselves into each other's arms.

Tao Zhi instinctively hugged Gong Cheng's waist with both hands because of the momentary weightlessness, while Gong Cheng hugged Tao Zhi's shoulders tightly, as if he wanted to embrace him into his bones.

I was completely crazy just now. I actually had the idea of ​​fighting against the system together with Gong Cheng.

Gong Cheng knew nothing. He had no idea that being with him meant he might lose everything.

Those people whom he cherished were still sincerely blessing him from the audience, but he had just meanly put their lives on the line, using all of them to gamble with his own chance of survival.

I am really a disgustingly selfish person, Tao Zhi thought.

The gentleman had clearly just held my hand, but why did I panic because of a warning from the system and take my hand back without any hesitation?

There must be a chance for the plot to change. As long as you persist, you will find a way out. This will not be a dead end.

As long as you can be firm...

Just as Gong Cheng was about to speak, Tao Zhi's arms, which were around Gong Cheng's waist, dropped down and drooped on both sides of his body.

Gong Cheng's pupils constricted because of Tao Zhi's actions, and he was shocked.

I must get the plot back to its original direction, Tao Zhi thought.

But now Gong Cheng has already agreed to his confession, and even everyone in the audience has witnessed the successful process of this confession, and he and Gong Cheng are hugging each other amid cheers.

What should I do to restore the plot?

Perhaps only by admitting that this was just a farce played by himself to prank Gong Cheng could this dramatic effect be achieved.

"Gong Cheng." Tao Zhi whispered in Gong Cheng's ear.

Tao Zhi's voice was calm and cold. Gong Cheng woke up from his disbelief, his eyes filled with unbearable pain.

So sir, have you decided to follow the system's orders and return everything to the original plot?

Why don't you even have the courage to struggle and try to change the plot?

Is it because the result of mission failure is unacceptable to you, sir?

die?

Maybe it's not just death. But Gong Cheng has no time to think about more possibilities.

What are you going to do next sir?

Should he push himself away and then regret it in public, or should he just say that the confession was just an insignificant joke?

Gong Cheng felt a sharp pain in his heart, and he tightened his arms around Tao Zhi, his eyes turning red and wet without him noticing.

Rather than letting your husband create a hysterical and irreparable situation, it is better to solve the dilemma yourself by taking control.

Just as Tao Zhi was about to speak, Gong Cheng leaned close to Tao Zhi's ear and whispered.

When everyone saw this, they thought the two were going to kiss in public, and they excitedly covered their mouths and screamed in anticipation.

"Tao Zhi, I reject your confession."

"I said those things to you just because I didn't want to embarrass you in front of so many people." Gong Cheng said.

The alarm sounded and disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Tao Zhi was stunned when he heard this. The words he had organized were on the tip of his tongue, but they were stuck in his throat and couldn't come out or down. He just stared with his eyes wide open for a long time without being able to react.

Tao Zhi no longer cared about the crisis just now. He just kept repeating Gong Cheng's two sentences in his mind, analyzing word by word what crazy words Gong Cheng had just said.

Eh, isn’t it?

What kind of development is this?

Was I rejected by Gong Cheng?

Isn't it later?

what does it mean?

Didn't you just agree to my confession? Didn't you just swear in front of everyone how much you loved me?

Why did you suddenly come up to me and say no out of the blue?

Embarrassed? Who is embarrassed? Me?

I confessed my feelings openly and honestly, and was also very open about being rejected, so why is it embarrassing?

I can accept being rejected directly, but what does it mean to refuse after you have agreed?

Are you kidding me?

So Gong Cheng just pretended to agree because he wanted to save face?

No, who wants you to be so considerate?

So I used my reputation to bury my dearest one, and now everyone thinks that we are really together.

For some reason, Tao Zhi felt an inexplicable surge of anger in his heart. He gritted his teeth and gathered his strength to push Gong Cheng away.

As a result, just as Tao Zhi made a gesture with his hands to push someone, Gong Cheng suddenly loosened his hands and stepped back, as if he was anxious to distance himself from Tao Zhi.

Tao Zhi's eyes twitched, and he was so angry that he was about to jump up.

No, what do you mean?

He just kindly agreed to confess his feelings to me, but now he's avoiding me halfway through the show?

How can you be so unprofessional in maintaining and preserving your own quality of being considerate?

Tao Zhi pointed and cursed at Gong Cheng with his eyes.
