God's Gift

Suddenly hearing the system's voice, Yu Youyou paused for a few seconds, then asked in surprise: "Dark Star?"

[Yes, Dark Star controls the intelligent brain and modified this instance through the intelligent brain, allowing all students to participate in the trial in experiencer mode. The system speculates that Dark Star’s real purpose is to erase Lu Keying’s memory in order to find the god through Lu Keying.]

[Therefore, the system advises the gods not to have excessive contact with Lu Keming, as this may allow Dark Star to discover the gods' current identity.]

Yu Youyou opened her eyes wide and asked in shock: "When did it grow a brain?"

[The system cannot detect the dark star situation and cannot answer the gods.]

The musician in front of Yu Youyou looked at Yu Youyou, who suddenly remained silent with a blank look in her eyes. As she thought about it, her eyes gradually darkened and she asked in a cold voice:

"Are you here to assassinate me too?"

"Ah?" The zither player's voice called back Yu Youyou's attention. She tilted her head and looked at the zither player for a long time, thinking about what he had just said. She blinked and answered seriously, "I won't kill you."

After that, she asked again: "But has anyone ever assassinated you before?"

The musician did not answer this question. He looked at Yu Youyou's sincere eyes. Those eyes were so clean without any impurities and so clear that it made people's heart palpitate.

This is just an ordinary human girl, and she has no martial arts skills.

Assassinating him is definitely not something she can do.

But maybe there are more powerful ways to kill people, like now...

In those dark and watery eyes, the heart of the musician beneath his skin and flesh struggled to beat like a grass bud gradually awakening in the frozen soil after a long winter.

He raised his hand to press on his heart, took a breath, and quickly turned his head to avoid looking at the strange girl in front of him.

Who is she and why did she let herself become like this?

Yu Youyou had no idea what Lu Keming was thinking. She looked at Lu Keming's hand covering his chest, and naturally walked in front of Lu Keming. She buried her head and stared at his white jade-like fingers on his chest, and asked in confusion:

"What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell? Were you injured during the assassination attempt by those people?"

When the musician saw Yu Youyou approaching him, he suddenly put down his hand, put his hand behind his back, took a step back, and asked:

"What you wanted to say before is my future..."

"Ah, I just said I was..." Yu Youyou opened her mouth without hesitation, and the system immediately reminded her:

[God, Dark Star…]

Yu Youyou paused, and when the system thought that Yu Youyou had persuaded him to stop, she smiled and walked to the musician, leaned close to his ear, and whispered:

"Your future lover."

This answer was something the musician had never expected. He had some exploratory intent in his mind, so he listened attentively when she came closer, but the answer now made him speechless.

He pulled the corner of his mouth, looked at Yu Youyou speechlessly, and asked, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Really." Yu Youyou opened her eyes wide and nodded affirmatively, "Don't disbelieve it, we are destined to be lovers and will be together forever."

She took the musician's hand, turned around twice happily, and said, "You will like me very very much, and I will like you very very much, too."

The zither player looked at the hand that Yu Youyou was holding tightly, his gaze paused for a moment, then he looked up at the hairpin swaying in Yu Youyou's hair.

The early spring sunlight, with a hint of warmth, shines through the sparse willows, forming mottled shadows that fall on the swaying hairpin flowers.

The musician's eyes were still, like a pool of calm well water. The swaying pearls touched his clothes, like drops of water falling from the mossy wall of a well, breaking the well water.

The musician was distracted for a moment, and he clenched his hands at his side and said in a cold voice:

"You are so sure. Do you know who I am?"

"That's right." Yu Youyou just remembered this after the zither player said this. She stopped and looked at the zither player seriously, and asked sincerely, "Then who are you here?"

Hearing this question, the musician's chest heaved. He closed his eyes, shook off Yu Youyou's hand, and left.

Green grass sprouted from the cracks between the bluestone slabs. The musician stepped on the slabs, and the moon-white hem of his clothes brushed against the grass tips, taking away the remaining raindrops and soaking the corners of his clothes that were stained with blood.

Yu Youyou stood there, watching the musician leave angrily, and scratched her head in confusion.

what's wrong?

She thought for a few seconds, then decisively chased after him, following the musician step by step, tilting her head to look at him, and said as she walked, "Don't go. Although I don't know who you are just now, as long as you tell me who you are, I will know."

The musician did not answer, but Yu Youyou continued to ask:

"You don't have to tell me who it is. Just tell me your name, where you live, and how I can see you again. Just tell me any one of them."

The musician looked straight ahead, his eyes tinged with the chill of early spring. The noisy voices kept drilling into his ears. He finally stopped and replied:

"nameless."

"What do you mean by Wuming? Is your name Wuming?" Yu Youyou continued to ask after hearing the answer from the zither player.

The musician stopped, took a deep breath, turned around and looked at Yu Youyou who was walking beside him, and said word by word: "I don't have a name."

Yu Youyou tilted her head, then gradually opened her eyes wide, and there was a bit of surprise in her deer-like eyes.

The musician looked at Yu Youyou's expression and subconsciously felt that something was wrong. Sure enough, the next moment he heard her say, "Really? So good?"

The musician's eyebrows twitched, and he asked incredulously, "Okay?"

"Yes." Yu Youyou nodded without hesitation and said happily: "Since you don't have a name, then I can give you a name!"

She thought for a moment, glanced at Lu Keming, rolled her eyes around, and said, "Just call me Ke Ming!"

"Giving a name is the responsibility of the elders. You are neither my parent nor my teacher. Why should I let you name me?" The zither player looked at Yu Youyou. Every word she said was beyond his expectations. How could there be such a strange woman in the world?

“Ah…” Yu Youyou lowered her head in disappointment. She tilted her head and secretly glanced at the musician, muttering, “There is such a rule.”

"Then do you really need your parents and teachers to give you a name?"

"I have no parents, and I have never had a teacher." The musician waved his robe, answered in a neutral tone, then turned around and walked away slowly.

"Really?!" Yu Youyou was about to laugh again when she heard the answer from the musician, but just as her lips started to rise, the musician gave her a warning look and asked:

"Are you happy that I don't have parents?"
