But the key point is that after saying these words, the system fell silent again.

It was as if telling him that the answer was already obvious, already laid out before him, and whether he opened it or not, everything was over.

At this moment, Xu Fan knew very well that the answer was already predetermined.

This time, he didn't hesitate and untied the white cloth.

His face was pale and devoid of any warmth.

That face is still as beautiful as ever, but it hasn't been upgraded in the slightest.

At that moment, Zhao Feiyang fell backward and fainted from his obesity.

Xu Fan's eyes were fixed on Xia Ziling's face.

That face was so familiar, but at this moment, it could no longer bicker with him like before.

In a daze, Xu Fan seemed to recall a long time ago, when they first met in college.

But then came Xu Fan, and then Xia Ziling.

The story that followed was completely different, and everything seemed to be moving in a positive direction.

But the relationship between him and Xia Ziling has always been distant. This distance is not a matter of physical proximity, but rather a deliberate avoidance by the two of them.

Xu Fan has someone he likes.

Xia Ziling knew that Xu Fan had someone he liked, and that person wasn't her.

They knew the answer, so from beginning to end, they simply enjoyed looking at each other, nothing more.

Xu Fan had considered countless possibilities for their future. Perhaps they would become strangers, or perhaps they would occasionally exchange greetings via phone call.

I never imagined that one day we would part in this way.

Xu Fan gritted his teeth and covered the white cloth back up.

In that instant, he felt his heart racing, and the anger within him could no longer be suppressed.

Fate always seems to be playing tricks on me; it's as if everyone in this world is joking with me.

It's like a series of plays, making people feel conflicted, sad, happy, and also heartbroken.

Xia Ziling's sudden departure made Xu Fan realize how different and unfamiliar this world was.

He suddenly felt incredibly helpless.

He had never felt this way before, especially after he acquired the system.

But everything has already been settled, and the outcome is already laid out before us.

Xia Ziling is really gone; she has left this world.

She was so young, and before she had experienced the ups and downs of life, she left like this.

The system's answer was clear, but it only made him more sorrowful.

Zhao Feiyang fainted and was dragged away.

Xu Fan looked at Xia Ziling, who was covered with a white sheet on the hospital bed, and clenched his fist.

I can't help but recall those moments when the two of us were together, whether it was arguing or suddenly ending the live stream.

These things are still vivid in my mind, but they are all in the past.

Xu Fan walked out of the ward with a slight tremor. Even though he was physically very strong, he felt a little weak at this moment.

Frank immediately came over to support him, seemingly wanting to say something comforting.

Xu Fan gestured for silence, then walked forward alone.

His silhouette looked somewhat desolate and forlorn.

His world lost a very good friend, the kind of friend he could never see again.

His steps were very slow, as if he were thinking that it was all a dream.

This is not a dream, it is reality.

A girl walked towards him from a distance, and Xu Fan felt a little warmer inside.

At least, Chen Yuanyuan is still alive.

This is the only comforting answer he can get right now.

But he knew very well that this answer could not make up for Xia Ziling's departure.

Chen Yuanyuan walked over from a distance, still wearing her hospital gown, tears streaming down her cheeks.

She didn't wipe away her tears; he simply walked towards Xu Fan.

One step, one step, and another step.

Xu Fan knew that Chen Yuanyuan must have known the outcome by now, which was why she was so sad.

At this moment, Xu Fan could no longer hide his grief, and he walked towards Chen Yuanyuan.

The two of them looked at each other and then walked towards each other.

Until they stood together.

Tears welled up in Chen Yuanyuan's moist eyes like water bursting from a dam; they flowed continuously, not drop by drop.

She gently reached out her hand. Xu Fan watched this gesture and knew that Chen Yuanyuan was shedding tears, but she didn't cry.

He gently embraced Chen Yuanyuan in his arms.

At this moment, it has nothing to do with love.

They were simply two sad people, grieving and in pain because of the departure.

"Wow"

When Xu Fan's hands gave Chen Yuanyuan warmth and strength, she couldn't hold back any longer.

She nestled in Xu Fan's arms, sobbing uncontrollably, tears still streaming down her face.

She said, "Why, why her? Why her? It should have been with me."

"Why did this happen? Why did this happen? Why did Lingling leave me? Why?"

"Xu Fan, can you tell me why she's the one who left? This world has been unfair enough to her, why do you have to torture her like this?"

At this moment, Chen Yuanyuan hugged Xu Fan tightly and asked him a series of questions.

She really didn't know what to do, and she knew Xu Fan had no answer, but at this moment, she couldn't control her thoughts.

Xu Fan felt empty at this moment. Chen Yuanyuan's questions came one after another, catching him off guard.

This world is unfair to everyone.

Xu Fan once thought that by obtaining the system, he could do whatever he wanted and would be the man with cheat codes in this world, and from then on, everything would go smoothly for him.

However, after the news of Xia Ziling's departure was confirmed, he was somewhat absent-minded.

If the condition for her to obtain the system is her departure, then she would rather live a lonely life.

At the very least, he didn't want to face the departure of his good friend.

Everyone gets sad because of something, and this particular thing really broke Xu Fan and Chen Yuanyuan down.

After a long, long time, Chen Yuanyuan finally raised her head, wiped away her tears, and looked at Xu Fan, saying, "Do you know what she said when she was shot?"

Xu Fan's gaze was fixed on Chen Yuanyuan.

Chen Yuanyuan said, "She took the bullet for me, but she said that because I had once taken a bullet for Ni, she was willing to repay me for her."

Chen Yuanyuan said, "But you know what? I don't need it, I don't need it."

===Chapter 696 Time Returns to a Few Days Ago===

Let's go back a few days.

Gran City is a city that lasts for more than a month, so the sky was overcast all day.

As evening approached, the rain still hadn't stopped, and the wind blowing through the city grew increasingly violent.

As with every day before, Chen Yuanyuan and Xia Ziling walked through many corners of the city, investigating what they wanted to know.

Xia Ziling's face was noticeably pale, but she appeared very strong as she walked ahead.

Chen Yuanyuan followed behind her and asked, "What if we still can't find it?"

Xia Ziling stopped and thought for a moment before saying, "Then you go back. I'll stay here by myself."

Chen Yuanyuan stared at Xia Ziling and asked softly, "Do you think I'm the kind of person who would run away in the face of battle?"

Xia Ziling shook her head and said, "I just feel that there really aren't any answers I'm looking for in this city. Rather than wasting time here, I might as well end it all."

Chen Yuanyuan was slightly taken aback, then asked in confusion, "Then why don't you come back with me?"

Xia Ziling shook her head and said, "I don't know either, but I know I have to stay."

Chen Yuanyuan didn't say anything. Xia Ziling turned and left, and she followed behind.

Time flew by, and the two unknowingly walked into a tall building.

However, this high-rise building in Grand City is actually an unfinished project, dilapidated and abandoned, and no one lives there anymore.

Most importantly, the city is rainy, so it feels rather damp, with a gloomy atmosphere surrounding it.

If you look up in the mirror, you'll see that this tall building is very close to the Cobino Library.

But neither of them was thinking about these things at the moment.

Chen Yuanyuan looked at the building and said, "According to our investigation, the destination should be here. If we still can't find it here, then it really doesn't exist."

Xia Ziling hesitated for a moment, then said, "That's the strangest thing."

Chen Yuanyuan said, "I know what you're worried about. If there really was nothing, how could we have found these clues? But don't forget, what we found are just clues, not a complete logical line. Even if some of them can be used to deduce logical relationships, they are still just deductions and are meaningless."

Chen Yuanyuan knew that saying such things would hurt people, but she knew she had to say it to make Xia Ziling face the reality of the situation.

Xia Ziling carefully walked forward and reached out her hand, taking Chen Yuanyuan's hand as they walked.
