Before I became the legendary boss

Now that you are here, you have to sit on the Ferris wheel before leaving.

Because of Yun Qi's proposal, the two ended up standing on the huge Ferris wheel in the center of the amusement park.

Finally have space to be alone.

But He Rong's mood at the moment is very complicated.What kind of answer do you want to get from the other party?Whether I can bear the truth whispered under the water.

With a slight shake, the box of the Ferris wheel turned to almost a quarter of its height.He Rong took off his mask and looked out the window.At the end of the horizon, the lights of thousands of families are connected into vast expanse of dots, like an ancient and melodious rhythm, praising the reproduction and change of generations in the world.

At this time, Yun Qi was lazily sitting opposite him, still wearing a mask.

He Rong's heart suddenly "thumped".

No, no, no way...

A whirlpool of chaotic emotions instantly engulfed him, He Rong stood up abruptly regardless of the frightening sense of imbalance, and stretched out his hand to the opposite side.

His hands were stopped before reaching the mask.

"I haven't seen you for a few months, do you miss me that much?"

The other party laughed and teased.But this didn't change He Rong's obsession.

"Your face... let me see your face."

"……No."

Yun Qi still looked out of shape.

"I'm a serious boy. I can't show my face to others casually. If I see it, I will be responsible."

"I am in charge."

In order to maintain his balance, He Rong put one foot between Yun Qi's legs, and his whole body seemed to straddle Yun Qi's legs.

"Don't hide it from me, I want to know...I have to know."

He Rong couldn't see his expression, so he didn't know that he was full of sadness at the moment, like a lost child begging for a ray of light in the dark night.

The opponent let go of his hand.The mask fell down.

How to describe this strange yet familiar face.

The right half of this face seems to have been carefully sculpted by a famous artist. It is gorgeous and not vulgar. , In the dark, it looks even more terrifying than evil spirits.

He Rong's whole body trembled, he reached out his hand to touch the scar, but his fingertips trembled too much.His pale and shocked face was reflected in the other's peaceful eyes, like a funny and clumsy pantomime.

It turned out to be like this...

The scattered memory fragments were quickly connected together, forming the only truth in He Rong's heart.

He stood up, staggered two steps back, suddenly realized in this crumbling world.

"It's you……"

He muttered to himself.

"It was you from the beginning..."

The waiter in the copy where he was killed.

"And then the dumb slave..."

The other party's eyes made He Rong's heart tingle.

"And then...Mr. Albert..."

The little things, the unexplainable parts all come together.

Why didn't I find out until now?

Is it because the other party is covering up too well and acting too superbly?

no.He Rong bit his lips tightly.

It's because he didn't settle down to look and think.The matter of losing his memory and solving the game occupied his whole mind, he was only thinking about himself, so even if he found something wrong, he would hastily pass it over, just like that, ignoring the other party's care and company along the way.

Without him, I guess the journey would have ended in the first copy.

He Rong sat down on the seat, his mind went blank, he didn't know what to do now.Should I thank the other party for their help all the time?Or should I apologize first?He once caused the mute slave and the murderer to die together, and now he made Yun Qi look like this.

But is an apology useful?

What should he do?

Why do I always implicate others in suffering without knowing it?

Why do I always ask others to bear the consequences for the wishes I make?

Why can't he be the only one who sacrificed?

"There's really nothing I can do about you."

A sigh full of helplessness came from the opposite side, as if a teacher was facing a child who refused to teach, or a student who was not good enough.

"In order to prevent you from thinking wildly, let me explain first that the injury on my face is not what you think."

Yun Qi gently covered his left face with his hand.

"This injury was left to me by the person I love."

He Rong raised his head in cold sweat with relish.

Yun Qi smiled helplessly and indulgently.

"It may be terrible in the eyes of others, but to me, this injury is very precious. This is the final proof of my connection with him."

Behind him, the Wanjia lights are as colorful and rare as a sea of ​​glazed glass, but they are far less than the endless love in his eyes.

"So you don't have to feel guilty... It will become like this, it's just some adjustments I made in this copy."

"……Adjustment?"

"Yeah." Yun Qi shrugged, "You know, I can dress up differently in each dungeon, so this is also a mode of dressing up, nothing special."

"..."

"There's no need to lie to you. What I'm saying is the truth. I've used the previous face for three copies in a row. I'm a little tired. I want to see if using this face here can trigger some interesting events."

"..."

"As an idol, isn't it to make people feel fresh all the time?"

He Rong still couldn't believe it, but there was no way to refute it at the moment.Yun Qi seemed to see that he was still brooding, so he suggested.

"If you still feel uncomfortable, why don't you tell me one of your secrets to make me happy?"

"..."

He Rong thought, secret, isn't it?

How could a man with nothing like him have any secrets?

In an instant, a large cloud of mist gathered on his chest, and He Rong looked into the opponent's eyes in a trance, in a state of confusion and depression.

At this moment, what kind of expression did he show in the other party's eyes?

Is it painful, confusing, like a victim tormented by guilt?

However, the opposite is true.

He is clearly a perpetrator.

"I……"

"I'm all for myself..."

The broken sentences were squeezed out of the throat like dehydrated gravel.

"Whether it's about Mr. Davis, or supporting Gu Lindong in this dungeon, it's good to say that I will do my best to help the other party, but in fact, that kind of dedication is just to satisfy myself."

He Rong covered his face with his hands.

"Because he is tired and can't distinguish between east and west, north and south, and become his shield to block all attacks, just to put myself in a slightly higher position than him—it's like saying, [I value you so much, I can do it for you] You give everything]."

"I tapped into his kindness and guilt to make myself feel needed."

Big tears slipped from his fingers.

"Because I have nothing."

No past, no future, no idea what to do, no idea what to do.

"I have nothing……"

So much so that I can only choose the way of constantly exploiting myself.Because the only one who can be hurt by himself is himself.

However, the results of this approach are always unsatisfactory.He always makes mistakes when it comes to critical moments, but the consequences are always borne by those who care about him.

Just like what Gu Lindong said, cutting meat to feed tigers is simply stupid.

He Rong couldn't breathe because of choking, his whole body was like a funnel of water blocked by cotton, his brain was buzzing accordingly.He bowed down/covered his mouth desperately.Sadness, unwillingness, anxiety, hesitation, guilt... Negative emotions surged up in one breath, engulfing him like an ant on a leaf.He finally completely lost control under Yun Qi's gaze, crying like a kid.

In the end, he was still the lonely ghost who was abandoned by everyone and looked helplessly at his own corpse.

When the ferris wheel reached its highest point, and thousands of prosperity disappeared without a word under their feet, He Rong couldn't stop crying, as if he wanted to burst out all the accumulated emotions in his heart.And Yun Qi sat across from him, watching him quietly.There was no comfort, no persuasion, and the other party kept the most compassionate silence, watching his tears flow down slowly.

No matter how much a person hates himself, he cannot become another person.

But even so, we still hope from the bottom of our hearts that we can grow up after the storm, break out of the cocoon and become a butterfly.

The Ferris wheel slowly descended, and He Rong also calmed down slowly amidst his sobs.

At this moment, Yun Qi finally spoke the first sentence.

"Do you know what [creating something out of nothing] is?"

He Rong raised his head in surprise amidst tears.Yun Qi smiled leisurely across from him.

"From the beginning of the nameless world, everything in the world was born from existence, and existence was born from nothing. The Dao is empty, so the Tao gives birth to one, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things."

Yun Qi pointed at He Rong's chest.

"Always have no desires to observe the wonders—it is precisely because you have nothing at first that you can quietly observe the changes and developments of all things and experience the joys, sorrows and joys of others, so [nothing] turns into [being]."

"On the contrary, the movement of the Tao, the weak, the use of the Tao. Everything in this world is one that ebbs and flows, and goes back and forth, and the weak also has the usage of the weak, that is, doing nothing but doing everything - as long as you figure this out, you You can do whatever you want."

Yun Qi smiled and stretched out his hand to touch He Rong's head.

"Congratulations, you have taken the first step. From now on, you only need to follow your heart and move on."

Go forward, even though there may be more wind and rain and obstacles ahead, more troubles and tribulations.

He Rong stared blankly at his empty hands, and fell into deep thought just like that.

The author says:

"The beginning of the unknown heaven and earth... so always have no desire to see its wonder", "Tao begets one... three things are born", "the opposite... the use of the Tao", "doing nothing without doing nothing" and so on, all come from Laozi, " Tao Te Ching
