After hearing Chen Yuanyuan's words, Xu Fan was silent for two seconds, and then said, "All of that is in the past. No matter how wonderful those times were, they are still those times. What we should face now is the future, and what we should do next."
Chen Yanyan's voice was very calm. She looked at the sky, then at the bustling traffic around her, before turning to Xu Fan and speaking again: "Strictly speaking, I didn't call you here of my own volition, but because I was asked to do so by someone. If you guessed it, that person is Lingling."
"Perhaps I've guessed the answer somewhere, but I'm confident you'll take me there."
"Of course I will definitely take you there, but I think the most important thing we should address right now is, what are your thoughts on this matter?"
Chen Yuanyuan asked what he thought about this matter. In fact, what other way could he think about it? But Xu Fan knew that the matter was not so simple. Xu Fan was very clear that Xia Ziling's departure was definitely related to him.
He was also well aware of what Chen Yuanyuan knew about Xia Ziling's departure, which was why Xu Fan rushed over immediately after Chen Yuanyuan called him.
Because he might be able to get some information he wanted from Chen Yuanyuan, or get some things he desired, so when he heard Chen Yuanyuan ask him what he thought, his silence was only temporary.
After a few seconds of silence, he looked at Chen Yangyang, nodded, and said, "None of the questions I can think of can answer this, but I know very clearly that he has really left this world."
But what I can't understand is why his departure is related to me. I really can't understand why my existence could cause my best friend to leave this world.
Upon hearing this, a glint flashed in Chen Yuanyuan's eyes. Xu Fan noticed it but said nothing. At that moment, Chen Yuanyuan's heart was filled with some turmoil.
Because he also had this suspicion, he couldn't understand why everything revolved around Xu Fan. In fact, Xia Zelin's feelings for Xu Fan weren't that deep back then; they were just college classmates, nothing more.
Even if their relationship was indeed very good, it was at most a close male or female friendship. In fact, under those circumstances, no romantic love developed between them.
But everything changed around Xia Zilin after Xu Fan started singing and became a sensation on The Coming One. He became fascinated by Xu Fan and grew to like him more and more.
If it were just simple liking, Chen Yuanyuan wouldn't think much of it, but he knew Xia Ziling too well. He knew Xia Ziling's personality and character, so he knew very well.
Xia Ziling would never fall for Xu Fan just because he suddenly became popular. That's something Xia Ziling would never do. So he knew very well that Xia Ziling's liking for Xu Fan was genuine, the kind of liking that came from the bottom of her heart, from the very beginning to the very end.
Or perhaps something suddenly changed his mind, causing him to fall in love with something else. This was Chen Yuanyuan's deepest guess, but she still couldn't bring herself to say it when facing Xu Fan. However, at this moment, Xu Fan himself had this feeling, and when he said those words, Chen Yuanyuan's heart trembled.
Because his thoughts coincided with Xu Fan's, but at this moment he still couldn't be sure how much of what Xu Fan said was true.
In a fundamental sense, Chen Yuanyuan's feelings for Xu Fan are hard to define. There is a vague liking, but also a sense of rejection and improbability. She once saved a bullet for Xu Fan.
At that time, he thought he liked Xu Fan, but when he sorted things out later, he found that it wasn't like that. He also wondered if it was because Xia Ziling liked Xu Fan that he chose to stand silently in the background.
But when Xia Zemin left this world, he suddenly realized that things were not like that. He hesitated for a long time, thought about many questions, but could not figure it out or understand the key to the problem.
But he knew very well that when you left, you had talked to him about some issues. He survived the gunfire because Xia Ziling saved him. Xia Ziling had told him that she wanted to pay off Xu Fan's debts, but Chen Yuanyuan knew very well that he didn't need Xia Ziling to do that.
He felt even more guilty than Xu Fan. He had failed to protect Xia Ziling and had caused her to leave this world. But it was precisely because of this that he was even more puzzled as to why ordinary people would encounter a gunfight.
Why is it that their world has undergone earth-shattering changes because of Xu Fan's appearance?
He and Xia Ziling stayed in the Kingdom of Gran for a long time. It was always a safe place, even though there were many dangers. At least they lived there without any problems for the years they lived there.
Both of them were safe. Even when they encountered Xu Fan, it was just a simple robbery. But that time was with the current Chen Yuanyuan, which seems unbelievable when they think about it. And since then, their lives seem to have changed. Every trip to Gran Country seems to be because of Xu Fan.
At first, Chen Yueyue didn't know what Xia Ziling had been investigating. But later, when Xia Ziling was about to leave this world, he got some brief information. He heard, or rather, he heard Xia Ziling guess that Xu Fan was an experiment in this world.
But why is Xu Fan an experiment in this world? Is it because Xu Fan is an experiment in this world that they have to treat them as byproducts of the experiment?
He didn't want to live as a mere appendage in this world, so he wanted to understand all these questions. But at this moment, when he saw Xu Fan, he couldn't help but want to question these questions, but in the end, he kept them all hidden in his heart.
He originally wanted to put all these problems behind him, but Xia Ziling had said before leaving that she insisted on letting him take Xu Fan to see the base.
Take a look at the things that Xia Ziling had specially prepared for Xu Fan. Chen Yuanyuan had taken Xu Fan to see those places before, but this time the purpose was different.
The two looked at each other and fell silent. The conversation seemed to have ended there, and the air seemed to quiet down. The surrounding traffic continued to move slowly, with the occasional horn honking.
It wasn't raining, and there weren't many clouds in the sky, but plenty of sunlight shone through the clouds onto everyone in the crowd, including Xu Fan and Chen Yuanyuan.
They remained silent for a long time before Chen Yuanyuan finally broke the silence. She calmly said, "Let's go." Xu Fan nodded, and the two got back into the car.
Their destination was simple: the place they had visited before. The two of them fell silent again in the car. The driver didn't say a word; he just drove intently toward their destination. Xu Fan and Chen Yuanyuan were both sitting in the back seat.
The two remained silent for a long, long time. They appeared to be standing side by side, but at that moment, they both looked out the window in their own directions. The traffic continued to rush by, and the scene of the city lights was reflected in the window.
Everything fell silent before them. Chen Yangyang was the first to break the silence. He suddenly sighed and said, "Maybe this world is fake, maybe I am fake, maybe you are fake too."
Xu Fan felt a tremor run through him. He instinctively looked at Chen Yuanyuan, eager to hear what she had to say, but Chen Yuanyuan continued, "These are the words Ziling once said. I couldn't understand their meaning back then, but now I suddenly seem to understand them a little."
Xu Fan nodded, then shook his head. He looked out the window, then at Chen Yuanyuan, before saying, "Maybe all our thoughts are false, maybe it's all because of me that everything in this world is changing."
Xu Fan's words were not without reason. He was well aware that his current changes were something no one else had ever experienced. He possessed the most perfect system in the world, something called the Perfect Music System.
Perhaps that so-called Brother Kai also has something similar to a perfect music system, but at least among the people around him, he is the only one who possesses this system. It is precisely for this reason that he seems to be different from others, that is, he is too outstanding.
This excellence is actually a mold etched into him, not because he himself is particularly outstanding. Even though he has acquired many master skills due to the system, which can make his life, his future, and his work much smoother, all of this...
He has become different from everyone else. Xu Fan is well aware of the current situation and the problems. He knows that he has a system, which is why he has become so different.
However, if Xu Fan knew that his improved life, his current living environment and state were because he was about to lose his best friend, he would rather have never had the system. But now that this question is facing him again...
Xu Fan was thinking again, if the system hadn't appeared, would he still be without his mother? Would his mother have left him then? At that moment, Xu Fan was torn by all sorts of thoughts. If he had to choose between his mother and Xia Ziling, who should he choose?
In fact, many people would make the same choice: their mother. But if you choose your mother, does that mean your best friend will leave this world? If so, what should you do?
This was a perplexing question, one that left Xu Fan at a loss. After Chen Yanyan asked her simple question, Xu Fan began to experience a great deal of inner turmoil.
If this really happened, or if the reason for this was obtaining the system, then am I at fault?
===Chapter 731 Back to the Base===
Xu Fan was very clear about one thing: eighty percent of things in this world have a right and wrong distinction. Perhaps a certain thing is right from a certain perspective.
However, when viewed from another perspective, he might be wrong. Xu Fan is very clear about the essence of this matter, so he is unsure whether what he did was right or wrong.
Xu Fan wouldn't be willing to lose his friends if he had to obtain the system, but he would definitely be willing if he needed to obtain the system to save his mother.
Xu Fan was well aware that this was a paradox, but he also knew that it was difficult to break. He didn't know what the right thing to do was to save his mother by killing Xia Ziling.
He didn't know what to choose, so when he talked to Chen Yuanyuan about this issue, he was very conflicted. He never thought he would encounter such a problem one day.
Although Chen Yuanyuan didn't ask him what he would choose if given such a choice, he couldn't help but think about these questions deep down. He would think about every detail of what would have happened if he hadn't obtained the system back then.
So, will everything after this be completely different from now? Or, even if he obtains the system, will he be able to avoid losing Xia Ziling as a friend? Western imagination is actually quite beautiful, but he is well aware that this matter has already happened and cannot be changed.
Xu Fan looked at Chen Yuanyuan, and Chen Yuanyuan looked at Xu Fan. The two of them sat in the car looking at each other, and suddenly fell silent again. After a long silence, they looked back at each other again.
Chen Yuanyuan said, "I actually don't know what happened in this world. You just appeared so suddenly, in front of all of us, whether it's Xia Ziling or the vast number of netizens. Your sudden appearance was like a flower suddenly blooming in this world, and it was extremely beautiful."
But what you don't know is that your sudden appearance seems to have changed all the rules of the world. The entertainment industry already has all sorts of problems; perhaps some people plagiarize, perhaps some just rely on their looks to make a living. But your appearance is like a mudslide, instantly impacting the entire entertainment industry.
You not only have a perfect appearance, but you also have perfect talent. You not only sing beautifully, but your acting skills are also unmatched. You are someone everyone in the entertainment industry admires. You are like an all-around genius who can do everything and is capable of doing anything.
In the story, we heard so many questions, whether you're in a particular industry, such as your musical instrument, your guitar, your piano, your violin, or other instruments like the suona or pipa.
You can play so beautifully. You're only in your twenties, yet you've accomplished things that countless people in their thirties and forties can't. You're so amazing, so amazing that we all can't help but like you, but at the same time, we feel a great distance between you, a distance we can't reach or touch.
Chen Yuanyuan spoke at length, and even Xu Fan hadn't expected that Chen Yuanyuan would have so many thoughts and feelings accumulating in her heart. At this moment, she felt more conflicted and helpless.
He knew that he had indeed been extremely powerful recently, but upon closer reflection, he realized that this wasn't a recent development.
From the moment I participated in the first season of The Coming One, my performance seemed to have reached its peak, and I became an invincible legend, able to do everything perfectly.
Whether it's singing, dancing, or playing the piano, Xu Fan knows that after obtaining the system, he's like a different person. In fact, deep down, Xu Fan had a suspicion for a long time that he was like an experimental subject controlled by something.
This thing is very likely the system, but when he just studied the system, the system did not have any emotions to control itself, just like an emotionless thing that kept rewarding itself.
But this constant reward made him accustomed to relying on the system, which ultimately resulted in him becoming devoid of any further ability to do anything.
Xu Fan was well aware that although he possessed System One and had acquired many skills, if the system could grant him those skills, could it one day instantly take them back? If that were to happen, would he become like a useless person?
When Xu Fan thought about how he should accept the current situation, his mind was in chaos. He had never thought about anything too profound before.
However, Xia Ziling's departure forced him to think about these things, especially after Chen Yuanyuan said so much. Deep down, he felt that his own existence was as if it had appeared out of thin air.
The system that appears in one's own mind is also born out of thin air.
The existence of this system is like something that should never exist in this world, yet it is something that truly exists.
Xu Fan sometimes wonders if this is all a dream, but he can see everything clearly in the reality right in front of him.
Because he could see it so clearly, Xu Fan understood that perhaps whatever he did was already predetermined in the future. So, seeing Chen Yueyue trying to say something several times, he ultimately didn't say anything.
At this point, Chen Yuanyuan continued, "In fact, everyone has their own choices, whether it is accepting or seizing opportunities, whether it is opposing or obeying the arrangements of fate."
I don't know what dangers and hardships you've faced, nor do I know if you've ever had this kind of struggle. What I want to say is that there was once a girl who loved you very, very much.
Later, that girl died because of you. What I want to say is that your future world may still be bright and glorious, but please remember that it once existed behind you.
Hearing Chen Yuanyuan's words made Xu Fan tremble once again. He didn't know why he always felt a pressure pressing down on him, whether Chen Yuanyuan said it or not.
He understood this perfectly. Deep down, he remembered that Xia Ziling's existence was the most important part of his life. This wasn't just because Xia Ziling was his classmate's son and a good friend who had always supported him from the beginning.
So he will never forget and cannot forget this lifetime. Perhaps the future is long, but there will always be memories of Xia Ziling in his life. But next time, you will no longer be here. That is the most important fact.
So after a moment of silence, Xu Fan couldn't help but say, "Actually, whether you say it or not, I will never forget him. So sometimes I understand and know that I don't actually have that many demands. It's just that there are so many inexplicable and helpless things in life. I'm not grateful for everything I have now. At least when it comes to Xia Ziling, I wish none of this had ever happened."
These were the most important words that came to Xu Fan's mind, and some of his innermost thoughts that he wanted to tell Chen Yuanyuan. After saying these words, Xu Fan closed his eyes and fell silent, not saying another word.
Sitting in the car, he wasn't actually using it; his mind was filled with all sorts of thoughts about Chen Yuanyuan. Seeing this scene, he didn't say much more and closed his eyes to ponder as well.
They might be thinking about the same things, or they might be thinking about different things, but at this moment the two of them were sitting in the back seat of the car, seriously thinking about the questions that needed to be considered in their minds.
After an unknown period of silence, the car began to slow down and eventually came to a stop. When Xu Fan saw the scene before him, he knew that his guess was correct. Chen Yuanyuan had brought him to that villa, or more accurately, to the music room on the basement floor of the villa.
Without hesitation, the two got out of the car and looked at the scenery inside the villa. They were filled with emotion, realizing that they were not short of money, but they still thought the style of the villa was very nice.
Most importantly, I found that I could feel an unparalleled quiet and tranquility here. It was a feeling of being undisturbed, an incredibly comfortable and relaxing feeling.
He even thought that if he had the chance, he would buy a villa himself, but the idea only flashed through his mind for a moment before his gaze fell on Chen Yuanyuan.
Chen Yuanyuan smiled slightly and gestured for them to proceed, saying, "I already told you, this is indeed the place to go. Many of the things inside were left behind by Ziling, and I hope they will be useful to you."
Xu Fan nodded and followed Chen Yuanyuan inside. In fact, even though it was his second time here, he could still find her without hesitation.
I once sang a song here. Back then, Chen Yuanyuan had just brought me here, and she was here again the next time I came. But that was a long, long time ago.
Xu Fan thought to himself that if he had the chance to come back here with everyone again, he would definitely sing another song. He hadn't decided what song he would sing then, but he felt that if that day ever came, he would do his best to sing it well.
The two walked at a moderate pace through the villa area, and soon arrived at the villa. Looking at the weeds growing in front of the gate, they chuckled and said, "It's been a while since we've been here, and I've been too lazy to hire a cleaner lately, so it looks a bit dirty and messy. Please don't mind."
Xu Fan certainly didn't mind this scene; it was the most authentic experience. However, he still felt a little regretful.
The regret is that at this moment, everything seems to have changed, but in essence, nothing has changed. However, just thinking about it makes some things seem to have changed, so there are many things that are beyond our control.
He was very clear about this from a certain perspective, so he tried even harder to make up for all the regrets.
Everyone opened the door and led Xu Fan into the villa. There wasn't much dust inside, which showed that Chen Yuanyuan's villa was exceptionally clean, even though there was a thin layer of dust in some places.
But with a gentle tug, it became spotless. The two didn't hesitate to stay in the hall for long. Instead, they turned around and went upstairs via the spiral staircase next to them. Xu Fan knew that he had been there before. Cheng Yaojin didn't say much or give any further introductions.
The basement level was the secret base that Chen Yuanyuan had mentioned before. There were many musical instruments in this secret base. Xu Fan saw the piano that he had touched and played before, and he also saw the guitar hanging on the wall.
