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

Tears dripped onto the painting, blurring the fireworks.

Gong Cheng bit his lower lip tightly, stroking Tao Zhi's figure in the painting with his fingertips, and extremely suppressed sobs poured out from between his lips and teeth, and he sat limply on the ground.

"gentlemen."

"How could I, how could I forget you."

The bursting emotions surged wildly in my chest, my lungs felt like they were torn apart, my lips trembled uncontrollably because of crying, the veins in my neck were exposed, and my eyes were bloodshot.

All the memories came back to him, joy, anger, sorrow and happiness filled Gong Cheng's mind, and the splitting headache made Gong Cheng's face pale.

"You clearly said you would never lie to me again."

"Why are you leaving me again?"

"How can I find you this time?"

The smoke and dust rising all around suddenly froze, the curtains blown by the wind stopped swaying, and the withered rose in front of the window dropped its last dull petal, swaying and falling on the windowsill without any movement.

The empty space suddenly fell apart, like waking up from a dream.

The curtains swayed in the wind again, the dust all over the room dissipated, the rotten desk returned to its original appearance, the dolls on the cabinet sat in a row, the rabbit on the bed drooped its head, the spider on the wall disappeared along with its spider web, and Gong Cheng's clothes turned into the white wedding dress before the plot was restored.

A figure against the light stepped closer.

Gong Cheng's eyes seemed to be covered with mist and his vision was blurred. He looked up and saw the familiar outline wrapped in a halo.

Tears dripped from his eyes, his vision became clear, and Gong Cheng saw clearly the person standing in front of him.

Yes, sir.

A gentleman in wedding attire.

Tao Zhi knew that everything was beyond redemption, and his expression changed from hysteria at the beginning to bitterness and helplessness now.

At this time, Gong Cheng stopped crying, tears glistening on his eyelashes. He just stared at Tao Zhi in front of him, but his tears still flowed non-stop.

Gong Cheng didn't dare to blink or speak, for fear that closing his eyes for a moment would disturb him and make him miss the illusion before him.

Tao Zhi's eyes were filled with tenderness. He bent down with red eyes and placed his slightly cool hand on Gong Cheng's cheek.

"Xiaocheng, you shouldn't remember me." Tao Zhi's voice was trembling, but extremely gentle.

The real touch and familiar voice made Gong Cheng's heart tremble for a moment.

After confirming that the person in front of him was not his hallucination, Gong Cheng, who was sitting on the ground, knelt down regardless of the glass fragments on the ground, threw himself at Tao Zhi, hugged Tao Zhi's waist tightly, and then buried his head in Tao Zhi's abdomen.

"I found you, sir."

"Sir, how could you bear to let me forget you?"

"I've really been looking for you for a long, long time this time." Gong Cheng cried, with grievances surging in his voice.

Tao Zhi placed his trembling hands on Gong Cheng's head and stroked it gently. He tilted his head back to let the tears go back, but they still couldn't stop falling.

I still failed after all.

Just one step away from a happy ending.

The matter is settled and there is nothing I can do about it.

In the end, all that I had done and all that I had planned had come to nothing.

Everything that she cherishes will be lost because Gong Cheng remembers her.

But Xiaocheng...how can I bear to blame you?

Gong Cheng's arms tightened around Tao Zhi, his heart filled with uneasiness and fear, afraid that Tao Zhi would leave again. His tears wet the clothes around Tao Zhi's abdomen, and his crying became more and more uncontrollable.

"Fanfan, is there really no chance?" Tao Zhi's tone was almost pleading.

Fanfan was spinning in the air, and the flashing warning lights announced the failure of the mission.

"Algorithm analysis shows that the possibility of Gong Cheng and Gu Dongnan continuing their wedding after their memories are restored is zero, so the plot reset confirmation has failed."

"Unfortunately, I have to tell the host that the third world line mission has officially failed. The system has started the plot sorting and archiving process. It is expected to take 24 hours."

"In 24 hours, the world line character data cleanup will be officially launched, and the host will be punished for mission failure."

"Host, please be prepared to make persistent efforts in the next world line." Fanfan said mechanically and coldly.

24 hours?

"What does it mean by cleaning? What does the next world line mean?" Gong Cheng raised his head and asked crying.

At this point, it seems that there is nothing left to hide from Gong Cheng.

The mission was a complete failure, and Tao Zhi's tense mood relaxed.

Tao Zhi lowered his head, reached out and held Gong Cheng's face, tears dripping down his nose and into Gong Cheng's eyebrows.

Tao Zhi tried hard to force a smile, but it was just an unbearably bitter one.

Then Tao Zhi whispered everything to Gong Cheng.

Including the ten years he and Xu Yanze spent in the first world line.

Including the second world line where Gong Cheng died in front of him.

Including the fact that in real life he was disabled, grew up alone in a dark room, and finally died in a small fish tank.

Including the fact that he deliberately approached Gong Cheng for the mission at the beginning, but ended up falling hopelessly in love with Gong Cheng.

"This is the truth you have always wanted to know. It is also my last secret. Now that the dust has settled, I can finally tell you everything."

"Xiao Cheng, this time, I really won't lie to you again."

"I will love you as I promised, even if it's only for 24 hours." Tao Zhi said gently.

Gong Cheng was shocked after hearing this. He didn't know how to react except to cry blankly, and his eyes were filled with heartache for Tao Zhi.

Gong Cheng realized belatedly that he had messed up everything and that the world would be facing disappearance in 24 hours because of him.

"I'm sorry, it was my selfishness that caused you to fail in your mission again."

"But I...I really can't do it..."

Before Gong Cheng could say anything else, Tao Zhi's kiss landed lightly on Gong Cheng's lips, and then left in an instant, with soft light and love in his eyes.

"None of this matters anymore, Xiaocheng."

“The last precious time should not be spent on regret and sadness, but on doing important things to the fullest so that we will not have any regrets.”

"Like the wedding we were so late for."

"Everyone is still waiting at the wedding venue for us two newlyweds to come over and announce the start of the feast."

"Xiaocheng, are you ready to eat with your husband in front of everyone?" Tao Zhi asked with a smile.

Gong Cheng felt warm at first sight when he heard this, and understood what Tao Zhi meant, so he tried to smile, but tears still welled up in his eyes.

"I'm ready, husband," said Gong Cheng.

Tao Zhi pulled Gong Cheng to stand up, only to find that Gong Cheng's knees were covered in blood, but Gong Cheng didn't even frown.

Tao Zhi quickly pulled Gong Cheng out of the room to treat the wound, but Gong Cheng pulled him back downstairs and out.

"These are no longer important. What's important is to attend our wedding," said Gong Cheng.

"No, that's not how you say it. With all the blood on your legs, they'll think I made you kneel with my mace before you left the house."

Tao Zhi was still shouting about treating the wound, but Gong Cheng had already pulled Tao Zhi and started running, his wedding dress was disheveled and the corners of his clothes fluttered in the wind.

The two of them interlocked their hands, feeling the warmth of each other's palms and the rhythm of each other's heartbeats. They couldn't help but smile freely on their faces. Their eyes met while they gasped for breath, and the love in their eyes was obvious to each other.
