The little world is about to crack.

It checked the backend data and found that Xu Wuning's "Tasker" tag had a long list of violations, while Lu Jingci's "Male Protagonist" tag had a red warning sign of "High-risk self-destructive tendencies".

A perfect match, an absolute perfect match!

Its urgent, frantic mechanical voice rang out, speaking at breakneck speed: "Lu Jingci, you listen to me!"

"Xu Wuning loves you very much, she really, really loves you. Please don't try to kill yourself like that. I'm begging you, please don't do it!"

"You are the male protagonist now, not the villain. Your life is connected to the foundation of the entire small world. If you die, this plane will easily collapse, and I will be finished."

Xiao Shijie felt like a teacher chasing two unruly children at the kindergarten gate, both angry and anxious, yet having to patiently coax them:

"Didn't you already guess? Xu Wuning is a mission taker. So, she'll definitely come back. She's probably at the system station, and she'll be back in a couple of days to continue dating you!"

"Could you please put the knife down? Please, stop doing such dangerous things. My heart can't take it. Even though I don't have a heart, I really want to pass out right now..."

Lu Jingci loosened his grip on the knife, his eyes reddening with joy, his voice trembling with excitement: "You mean, Ningning will come back?"

Little World kept agreeing: "Yes, yes, don't worry, she'll definitely come back."

Seeing that his knife had loosened, Xiao Shijie breathed a sigh of relief.

Unexpectedly, the next second...

Lu Jingci's wrist sank again, and the knife pressed against his neck once more, even tighter than before.

He lowered his head, his eyes filled with melancholy: "Even if Ningning comes back, she might not forgive me."

"She was so kind and gentle to me when I was a teenager because I never imprisoned her or locked her up."

"But things are different now..."

He closed his eyes, and tears inadvertently slid down his cheeks as he pressed the knife inward a little further.

"Things are different now. If she sees me, she might even hate me..."

The small world panicked completely, turning into a ball of light that "whooshed" in front of him, almost hitting his nose:

"Put the knife down, put the knife down! I have a way! I really do have a way, listen to me!"

Lu Jingci's eyelashes trembled, and his lips moved slightly: "You really have a way?"

"It really is!" The little world was so anxious it seemed to turn white, bouncing up and down. "Put the knife away, put it away! I can't talk to you properly like this!"

Lu Jingci stared at it for a moment, then removed the knife from his neck.

Xiao Shijie finally relaxed and whispered in his ear, "First do this... then do this... understand?"

"As long as your acting is good enough, this method will definitely improve your relationship and allow you to start over."

"Aren't you envious of how well Xu Wuning treats your younger self? If you do as I say, she'll definitely treat you well too."

Lu Jingci dropped the knife in his hand and looked at it: "Will it even work? Don't you think it's ridiculous?"

The little world was absolutely certain: "Don't forget, this is a world of romance novels. As the Heavenly Dao of this world, I know all kinds of love stories inside and out. Just do as I say, and I guarantee there won't be any problems."

"Besides, it's normal for it to be melodramatic; our novel is just really corny."

After explaining everything, the small world turned into a ball of light and disappeared.

Inside the villa.

Lu Jingci stood in front of the statue. It was wonderful, truly wonderful. Ningning was finally going to be back by his side.

Overwhelmed with joy at finding what he had lost, he was so ecstatic that he couldn't contain his smile.

He staggered forward to find a mirror in the next room and tidied his hair.

After tidying up, he suddenly burst into tears again, squatting there alone in a corner, weeping with joy.

He didn't know how much time had passed before he finally stopped crying.

He calmed down and dialed Li Chuan's number: "Come to the villa."

-

When Li Chuan arrived at the villa, she was extremely nervous.

In his imagination, President Lu must be the same as before, with messy hair, bloodshot eyes, and a confused mind, spending his days holed up in his room with "Miss Xu" and not coming out.

So he pushed open the door, his voice very cautious: "Mr. Lu, where are you...?"

suddenly.

A deep, rhetorical voice came from the living room: "What are you yelling about? Like you're trying to summon a ghost?"

When Li Chuan saw who was sitting on the sofa, she was startled.

Lu Jingci, standing before him, was dressed in an elegant suit, his hair perfectly styled, wearing gold-rimmed glasses. He turned his handsome profile and gave him a faint glance.

Li Chuan: ?!

Can someone tell him why President Lu suddenly stopped being so down and started acting like he used to be again?

What triggered Mr. Lu's anger? Or did Mr. Lu commit suicide out of grief and go down to join Miss Xu? What he is seeing now is Mr. Lu's spirit.

Li Chuan was so shocked that she took several steps back.

He only realized it wasn't a dream when his back hit the door and he grimaced in pain.

Lu Jingci rubbed his temples and stared at him: "Li Chuan, are you sick? I called you here to drive to the temple, not to act crazy."

A familiar sense of oppression washed over her, and Li Chuan immediately straightened up, nervously wiping the sweat from her brow: "Yes, yes, yes."

"I'm just a little unaccustomed to you suddenly being so normal."

Lu Jingci coldly lifted his eyelids: "What, it's not allowed?"

Li Chuan swallowed hard and slapped her own face: "Of course."

He respectfully reached for the car keys, then asked, "Mr. Lu, didn't you go to a temple before? What are you doing here now?"

Lu Jingci got up from the sofa and said slowly, "We're going to the temple to fulfill a vow. Ningning is coming back, so we need to go and fulfill a vow with the master."

A loud "bang" was heard.

It was the sound of Li Chuan losing her balance and falling hard on her bottom.

He looked toward the dimly lit room, his lips trembling, and stammered, "Who...who's coming back?"

The villa was dimly lit. Lu Jingci turned his head and said calmly, "Ningning."

Li Chuan trembled even more violently: "When...when...when will Miss Xu be back?"

Lu Jingci smiled, his face full of happiness: "Someone already told me that Ningning will be back soon."

Li Chuan was terrified. He quickly grabbed Lu Jingci's arm and helped him run outside, saying, "Mr. Lu... Mr. Lu, let's go quickly, let's go to the temple, I'm a little scared."

Mr. Lu's mental state seems to be getting even more unstable.

And this room... it must be because of what President Lu said that scared him. Why does this room feel so eerie and unsettling?

Is it haunted?

……

At this moment, the system station.

Xiao Ke pushed open the door and excitedly shouted:

"Host, the timeline of the small world is no longer frozen; it has started running again. You can go back now!"
