The system finally reasoned with Chi Zhao in every way possible, who was on the verge of collapse, to come back.
The system told him that great plans can be ruined by just a touch of impatience. Compromise will make a conflict much easier to resolve. The character "endure/bear" has the character for "knife" above it, if you don't bear it when you encounter a situation then you will provoke disaster instead…..
After a long time of racking one's brains for a solution, the system said all the common sayings it knew about patience. Chi Zhao no longer tried to seek death, and gradually calmed down. However, when he thought that he had to not only devote his spirit and time to the task but also his body and chastity, he wanted to dig the system out of his mind and whip it five hundred times. While he's whipping it, he also wanted to scold it.
Who told you to not tell me the truth!
Who told you to only report the good news, not the bad news!
...
For a long time afterwards, the system did not dare to reappear. Chi Zhao wasn't in high spirits, but Li Yihan couldn't find the reason.
They have already returned from the trip. Because Li Yihan was there, Chi Zhao didn't really participate in the group activities in the following days. In addition, he didn't know how to introduce Li Yihan to his classmates. They were always by themselves. Afterwards, they returned home half a day in advance.
At dinner time, Chi Zhao stopped eating after two bites. He didn't even eat as much as Xiao Pang did. Li Yihan knitted his eyebrows, "What on earth is wrong?"
Chi Zhao couldn't say that he was mourning for the impending demise of his moral integrity. He was silent and then casually gave a reason, "I'm afraid I didn't do well in the final exam."
If he didn't do well on the final exam, Chi Zhao will have to part ways with Xiao Pang. Anyone with eyes could see how much Qi Yuan likes Xiao Pang. Li Yihan did not doubt him. He chuckled, pulled Qi Yuan's hand to stand up, and then had him sit in his embrace.
Zhang Bo was waiting to serve at the side. Seeing this scene, his eyes nearly popped out. Chi Zhao was bewildered by his series of actions. Noticing that Zhang Bo's gaze was not right, he struggled for a little while, wanting to stand up. Li Yihan's hand fell from his shoulder to tighten around his waist. Then, he turned his head and gave Zhang Bo a look.
Receiving Mister's look, Zhang Bo froze for two seconds and quickly turned to leave.
When he left, his mind was still in shock.
Sure enough, those who spend a long time in a rich and powerful family will see things that they shouldn't have seen. He thought the family's Mister was the most clean-living and honest one, never even having those messy hobbies. Looking at it now...It wasn't that he didn't have any, it just hadn't been revealed before.
To commit iniquity! An adopted son is also a son. Mister, to engage in something like this, do you not fear ruining your reputation?
Of course, Li Yihan wasn't afraid. He's already reached a height that many people can't reach in their whole life. Moreover, for many years before, he didn't live for himself wantonly. Every day the things he did aside from work was work. Now, he's finally found a person who can divide most of his energy and make him willingly do anything for him. Why should he restrain himself?
Chi Zhao's earlobe reddened again, the skin behind his ears turning a pale pink. He pursed his lips and bowed his head slightly. He did not dare to look at Li Yihan. Li Yihan looked at his appearance endearingly and can hardly tear himself away. He raised the corners of his lips and coaxed him, "Don't want the cat to be sent away?"
His eyelashes softly flickered twice, and Chi Zhao nodded.
"Look at me."
This was an order, but also a request. Chi Zhao paused, and then he slowly raised his head and looked at Li Yihan.
Li Yihan looked back at him intently, his voice with a gentleness that he didn't even notice, "As long as it's what you want, I will give it to you, but you have to tell me. As I said before, I am very busy at work and will neglect the people around me. You are different from others. I don't want you to feel neglected at all. So I will try my best to care about you, pay attention to you, and understand you. But similarly, you also have to help me and tell me all your needs, okay?"
Li Yihan has no experience in this field of being someone else's boyfriend, but he really is doing his best to learn. Chi Zhao's expression was somewhat dazed, and his heart seems to be flowing through a shallow warm current. So this is the feeling of being liked by someone ah.
Touched for only two seconds, Chi Zhao once again remembered the bug of the spring night potion and his soon-to-die moral integrity.
Looking at Li Yihan like this, he seems to see the original demise of his moral integrity's speed being accelerated five times.
...
The more Li Yihan likes him, the earlier he will face that day. Chi Zhao cried in his heart, his mood being shown in his face. Seeing him become depressed, Li Yihan did not understand the situation. Just when he wanted to ask, he saw Qi Yuan grabbing his hand. His hand was one size smaller than his own. Qi Yuan has white skin and slender fingers, like jade, while his own skin color was darker and was a very healthy color. There were also two blue veins standing out on the back of his hand.
Qi Yuan's fingers covered the back of his hand, and the warm touch made his heart tremble.
Qi Yuan looked at him solemnly, "Sir, let's take it slowly."
Chi Zhao's meaning of "let's take it slowly": Although he has to die sooner or later, he could still die one day later!
Li Yihan's understanding of "let's take it slowly": He wants to take it slowly because he also wants to take this relationship seriously, so he does still care about me.
...
Although they thought of something completely different, they also have strange different means of achieving the same end.
Before long, Chi Zhao's results came out. Sure enough, he didn't get first place. He got third place, and it wasn't easy to get this result. After all, he was a liberal arts student, and he still had no choice but to push beyond his ability to start studying from scratch.
Because the relationship between the owner and the homeowner has changed, one person became an immortal, and Xiao Pang ascended to heaven. It immediately obtained the privilege to permanently live in the house, and there was no longer any need to worry about being sent away.
The system disappeared for a whole month before it dared to reappear. By that time, Chi Zhao was too lazy to deal with it.
The system came back this time with good news.
[Host, I applied to a superior to increase the flow speed of the plot, and the superior agreed. Since the plot line has changed and positive changes have taken place, the following plot tasks can also be changed accordingly. Previously, you had to spend five years here to complete the task line, but now you only need to take three years!]
Chi Zhao didn't understand, "What? What does it mean that the flow speed of the plot increased?"
[It is to reduce the task time. This is a special case. It is only when taking circumstances into account that it can advance when the host completes the task too quickly. Now, the task for two years only took two months to complete. My superior also thinks it is too fast, so they're preparing to push forward the plot and let the next plot point happen in advance.]
Chi Zhao still didn't quite understand, "Don't you calculate the success value according to the completion degree of plot points? Before, you guys didn't seem to care much about time ah."
The system was stuck for a while. The host was really sharp ah. He can always see the key issues. But that's fine, the power of observation was the host's strength, and fabrication was its strength.
[We don't care about the time, but we care about the mental state of the host. There will be no tasks to do in the next two years, and every day is being lovey-dovey with Li Yihan. If by any chance, you get too invested, and you really fall in love with Li Yihan, this kind of thing is absolutely to be put an end to. Host, you must remember that you are not a person from these worlds. You still have family and friends in the original world. Your ultimate goal is to save up to obtain the resurrection water, and then get resurrected.]
Speaking of his family and friends, Chi Zhao scratched his head distractedly, "I know, then what has changed since the plot was advanced?"
[Two changes. First, after your 19th birthday, you're going to seduce other people. In the original plot line, you were going to have relationships with nine men, but now it has been reduced to three. But before you start seducing, don't forget to take a look at Li Yihan's will. This is the □□ that leads to the plotline. I remember Li Yihan's will was made long ago. Originally, there was no Qi Yuan in it. You can just search for it and take a look at it.]
Chi Zhao took note of that, then asked, "What's the second one?"
[Second, after the plot line has changed, Chang Qing will not come to find you to buy information, but the plot must be completed. So, host, you have to take the initiative and sell the information to him!]
Chi Zhao: "...Proactively betray Li Yihan?"
He always felt like he would die an even worse death.
