Seeing Su Cheng stunned, Gu Ruoxue thought that he had entered the system panel again like last time, and she subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
Just when she thought that this reward was the key to breaking the deadlock, she saw Su Cheng come to his senses with a puzzled look on his face, "The system... the system didn't respond."
Hearing this, Gu Ruoxue frowned instantly.
"No, am I being too deliberate?"
She muttered to herself.
She was not surprised, as she had been analyzing and thinking about this issue over the past few days.
After being shocked, Su Cheng thought for a short while and then understood Gu Ruoxue's mood and state at the moment.
He sighed in self-mockery, raised his eyes to look at Gu Ruoxue, and then said seriously: "It seems that you have no other choice, so please fulfill the agreement according to our promise at the beginning."
What he said was naturally what was agreed upon at the beginning. If there was really nothing else to do, the two would go their separate ways and Gu Ruoxue would donate money to the welfare home.
It is obvious that this is the situation now. She has even started pretending to be a couple. You have to know that Gu Ruoxue is a very correct, intelligent and rational person. She must have no choice but to make such a decision.
"It's so ugly. You've returned to your original form again."
Gu Ruoxue frowned. Seeing Su Cheng's ever-changing expressions, which seemed like a magic trick, he suddenly became happy and sad. She couldn't help but mutter in disgust.
Su Cheng's mouth twitched a few times when he heard this.
"Are you going to break the contract?"
Su Cheng stared at Gu Ruoxue. Although he didn't mind being a fake couple, being a fake couple simply wouldn't work now. So in this situation, he could only choose to break up.
He was mentally prepared for the worst.
"Who says there's nothing I can do?"
However, Gu Ruoxue crossed her arms across her chest, staring down at him with a cunning look in her eyes.
"Forehead?"
Su Cheng was stunned at first, then he suddenly stared at her with wide eyes, and asked in surprise: "What method?"
"Of course." Gu Ruoxue raised her head with some pride, as if she was satisfied with Su Cheng's surprise. She continued, "Based on our interactions over the past few days, I have already figured out your temperament. I believe that these days of interactions have also helped you understand me."
Su Cheng blinked, nodded without comment, and couldn't wait to continue asking: "Then what is the solution you mentioned?"
"The only one who can save you is yourself." Gu Ruoxue stretched out her slender white jade finger and pointed at him.
Su Cheng narrowed his eyes slightly and began to analyze the meaning of this sentence, but no matter how hard he racked his brains, he still couldn't understand what Gu Ruoxue meant.
"What on earth do you mean by that?"
After pondering for a moment, he still didn't understand the deeper meaning behind Gu Ruoxue's words.
"That's literally what it means."
Gu Ruoxue shook her head, then turned her fingertips, took off the ring necklace from her neck, and handed it to Su Cheng.
Su Cheng took it blankly and looked at her suspiciously: "This is the reward for the second stage last time. Any questions?"
Gu Ruoxue glanced at him calmly and reminded him indifferently, "When you completed the second stage of the mission, what were you thinking about? Or what did you want?"
“What was I thinking at that time…”
Su Cheng fell into deep thought, and then slowly recalled.
He recalled it all, and remembered that when Gu Ruoxue said that they had become friends, he was indeed excited in his heart, and he wanted very strongly to give something to his first friend.
Come and witness their friendship.
"I want to give you a gift, but I have nothing..."
Su Cheng muttered to himself, then raised his head and looked at Gu Ruoxue: "The only valuable thing is the system space, but I can't..."
At this point, Su Cheng's words suddenly got stuck in his throat because he suddenly realized something!
Doesn’t this mean that the reward will be distributed according to one’s own wishes?
In other words, he wanted to give the system space to Gu Ruoxue, but he couldn't give such a thing at all, so the reward at that time was the space ring!
"It's not just rewards, your entire system is closely related to your will. Even punishment is caused by your thoughts, so... do you understand what to do now?"
After Gu Ruoxue finished speaking, she waited for Su Cheng's reaction.
After hearing this, Su Cheng fell into unprecedented confusion.
How could this punishment be self-inflicted?
Isn't this a means forcing him to complete the task by the unscrupulous system?
This made him begin to doubt his life and even question his own values. Was he really such a selfish person and was the reason why he gave the system such a punishment?
Gu Ruoxue seemed to have expected this situation. She sighed and said something shocking: "How did you die in your previous life?"
Su Cheng's body froze when he heard that. He looked at Gu Ruoxue with eyes wide open in disbelief, and said in disbelief: "You...how..."
He had never talked to Gu Ruoxue about the cause of his death, but Gu Ruoxue seemed to know, which was why he was so surprised.
"We didn't discuss this in the music room yesterday afternoon, but as soon as it was touched upon..."
Gu Ruoxue stared at Su Cheng with burning eyes. "When you think of the past, your emotions start to fluctuate violently, with a mixture of despair and collapse. The key is your eyes. It's as if you use your eyes as a vehicle to release all the darkness in your heart. This is a strong hatred and anger..."
Gu Ruoxue's words made Su Cheng fall into a long silence. Finally, he chose to sit on the stone, closed his eyes and said no more.
Ever since he could remember, the time traveler's memories began to merge with this world. He possessed extraordinary memory and insight since he was a child, as well as a maturity and stability that surpassed his peers.
But at the same time, the resentment for his unjust death in his previous life naturally occupied his heart. How could a person who died unjustly expect kindness and justice?
Fortunately, the tenderness he felt in this world was enough for him to completely suppress his dark side and hide his obsession in the deepest part.
According to Gu Ruoxue, this so-called system was brought about by the awakening of memory.
It is something that was created by traveling through time and space according to the dying wishes. It is also the product of the obsession before death.
Gu Ruoxue walked over to sit beside him, also sitting on a stone, looking at the river, sighing leisurely, and comforting him: "Actually, I want to hear this story. But I think you need comfort at this time."
"So, the solution you're talking about is to change this obsession?"
Su Cheng opened his eyes and looked at Gu Ruoxue calmly.
"Yeah. Nothing will change as long as the resentment remains."
Gu Ruoxue nodded and said, "If you use props, it may not affect the system itself. But it can affect you, and you can affect the system. So the next reward only needs to be an item that can be eliminated, divided, stored, and memorized."
Gu Ruoxue paused for a moment and added, "You happen to have two memories, so you can try this method."
After hearing this, Su Cheng understood that as long as he destroyed his memory as a time traveler, he might be able to make the system change the rules.
Maybe even kill the system?!
"So what's your basis?"
Su Cheng asked again.
This also carries the risk of failure, and he always has to know the reason.
Gu Ruoxue remained silent for a while, because she was not sure whether this method would work, but even if it failed, she had follow-up remedial measures.
It's also the last chance.
The measures are -
When the system has no purpose...
Then, will the mission stop?
If she fails, she will immediately force Su Cheng to be sent to a remote area, away from the disputes in the bustling city.
This so-called system will never be able to stir up any waves in this world.
Of course, she is also forcing the system to compromise.
Although the system seemed to have no emotions or was just a virtual device, she was sure that it actually had self-awareness.
Last time she was blocked in an alley by a dog, the system gave her a task in advance, asking Su Cheng to rescue her, which brought the two of them closer.
It can be imagined that this so-called system has self-judgment and knows what to do and when.
Everything is based on Su Cheng's willingness and the completion of the task!
"How will you know if you don't try?"
"Then I'm willing to give it a try."
Su Cheng stood up, his eyes firm, and agreed without hesitation. He didn't care at all that his memory as a time traveler would disappear = he would disappear.
"Ah."
Gu Ruoxue smiled with relief and stood up as well. She then discovered that the collar of Su Cheng's shirt was stuck in, so she subconsciously reached out to help straighten it out.
When the two white and slender fingers collided, a hint of ambiguity spread silently.
Su Cheng was stunned by the other party's bold and abnormally intimate behavior. For a moment, he even forgot to dodge and just let her put her clothes in place.
After finishing the tidying up, Gu Ruoxue's face became much rosier. She lowered her eyes, and the two of them just remained silent, with no one breaking the deadlock.
After an unknown amount of time, Su Cheng was the first to break the silence. He coughed a few times and said in a serious tone, "Then...we...now..."
"First start dating, then become a couple."
that's it--
These two people who had never been in a relationship, with the same determination to die, started a unique dating mode.
Chapter 16
Fake couple.
This kind of relationship is disgusting to Su Cheng.
The two of them don't like each other, but they choose to play hypocritical roles in front of the system, which makes Su Cheng very uncomfortable.
But the key is that it is now too late to back down.
I'm afraid Gu Ruoxue is the same.
A feeling of sadness suddenly emerged in Su Cheng's heart.
Although--
Being able to become a couple with Gu Ruoxue is definitely something to brag about and be proud of.
Although he has no friends to brag about.
But just thinking about it feels like a dream.
After all, Gu Ruoxue's appearance and temperament are both extremely excellent, especially her appearance which is so beautiful that it looks like it was synthesized by a computer. It gives her an unreal feeling, and she is as ethereal as a fairy.
He really couldn't find a girl better than her!
"First start dating, then become a couple."
These words kept lingering in Su Cheng's ears and would not go away.
The word dating was very unfamiliar to him.
How does this thing unfold?
Where are you going next?
Watch a movie? Eat? Go shopping?
Is this the process?
What a strange and new word.
The current situation is that although he doesn't know what to do, he will try his best to cooperate with Gu Ruoxue.
As long as Gu Ruoxue made the decision, he would naturally accompany her to the end.
However, there are some places he will never go.
such as--
Su Cheng stopped and looked at the women's store filled with all kinds of women's intimate items. He showed a look of fear and embarrassment on his face, "Uh... you can go to this place by yourself."
Gu Ruoxue also stopped and stared at him with a clear expression, then shook her head slightly and said seriously: "It is very normal for couples to go into this kind of store together."
"No need, I'll just wait for you outside."
