Chapter 160 Goodbye
Shen Qingqing paused, her eyes dark and unfathomable.
【it is good. 】
She did not answer Mu Jing's question.
The boy, who received no answer, sat on the ground, the soft carpet unable to ward off the chill in his heart.
The boy stared at the ground with half-closed eyes, his hands gripping the blanket tightly before suddenly letting go weakly.
"Mu Jing".
Shen Qingqing got off the bed and sat down next to him.
"I am not the original Shen Qingqing."
The boy kept his eyes fixed ahead, not looking at the girl.
He knew all along that she wasn't...
She stared at the ceiling. "We're not from the same world."
When she said this, Shen Qingqing's tone was mechanical, carrying a faint sadness and self-mockery.
"I……"
"I came into this world to do a mission, for no other reason."
Sometimes I don't even know who I am?
However, she no longer cares about it; these tasks are just a way to distract herself.
Perhaps, one day, she will finally meet her end.
"Qingqing."
The boy reached out and wiped away the girl's tears. He still had that indifferent expression, as if he would remain the same no matter what happened.
"Don't cry."
He didn't understand why Qingqing was crying, just as he couldn't comprehend all the joys and sorrows of this world; his world was utterly cold.
Mu Jing just didn't want the girl to be sad.
cry?
The girl touched her cheek; it felt damp.
I cried.
[Yes, host. 】
Xiao Lan's tone was a little unsteady. It was almost scared to death when it heard what its host said in the system space.
Those on the mission are not allowed to reveal their identities to the world in any way.
But the host seems to be different.
Having gone through four instances, the host used the abilities of the super-world in this fifth instance without being punished.
This made Xiao Lan wonder: Could it be that the host has someone powerful backing him up there? That can't be, right?
"Sorry……"
Mu Jing gently wiped the girl's cheeks, speaking in a tender tone.
My love, I know.
Upon hearing the words "I'm sorry," Shen Qingqing's tears flowed again.
Tick-tock—
The boy hurriedly wiped away the tears, repeating the words over and over, "Don't cry..."
Can you please stop me from crying? It's so annoying.
The tears that she couldn't wipe away made Shen Qingqing seriously suspect that there was something wrong with her body.
[Host, this may be related to yourself.]
I don't want to cry.
Tears flowed down her face uncontrollably, which only shows that the original owner was a crybaby.
Xiao Lan remained silent, sometimes feeling that the host and the male protagonist were quite similar in some ways.
lonely.
That night, the boy held the girl close, embracing her tightly.
Quiet, as if time had stood still.
……
The National College Entrance Examination (Gaokao) has arrived amidst everyone's anticipation.
And so it ended amidst sighs of lamentation.
"Sisi, what score do you think I can get?"
Before Xu Wei could finish asking, Lin Sisi replied, "470 points at most."
Xu Wei's expression immediately lit up with joy, "Really?"
He would be content with scoring 400 points.
"fake."
School gate.
"Student Shen Qingqing."
Hearing someone call her name, Shen Qingqing turned around.
"sorry."
Jiang Yiyi stood next to Song Jia and silently lowered her head.
Although the previous rumors were false, their bullying of Shen Qingqing was real.
"Let's go."
Shen Qingqing took Mu Jing's hand, and the two got into the car.
She has no right to forgive on behalf of the original owner.
Song Jia and Jiang Yiyi are standing outside the car.
Gradually, the car drove out of their sight.
"Jia-jie, what do you want to do in the future?"
Jiang Yiyi asked, she didn't know what she would do in the future, but she didn't want to be her father's business tool anymore.
"To become a teacher."
Be a teacher, and learn to trust your students.
"Then I'll go with you!"
[Ding-dong—Main quest completed.]
【? 】
The original owner's diary stated that he needed to get into university.
[The direct cause of the original owner's suicide was not taking the college entrance examination, but you, the host, took the exam in her place, so the mission is complete.]
However, the progress of the hidden quest remains at 99% and has not changed.
We can't let the host stay here indefinitely.
The longer you stay in the instance world, the worse it is for the host, as the complex memories will cause the host's original memories to dissipate.
"Mu Jing".
"?"
The boy turned his head.
"nothing."
The girl shook her head.
The three months following the college entrance examination are something every student looks forward to.
Of course, this doesn't apply to those who are looking for summer jobs.
You can do whatever you want, except what your parents tell you to do.
Like Shen Qingqing, no one cares about her, no, she does have someone in charge.
Since the end of the college entrance examination, she has stayed at home without moving every day.
He would curl up on the sofa for a while, then lie down on the carpet, and then run to the bed.
Generally speaking, like the mollusks in biology textbooks, they have no bones.
At these times, Mu Jing would take Shen Qingqing for a stroll around his family's manor.
It has to be said that Mu Jing's manor is really huge. Shen Qingqing can honestly say that even if she were asked to leave, she might not be able to get out.
Not knowing the way is one problem, and the other is that it's tiring.
She could only walk two steps before lying down.
In Xiao Lan's eyes, life at the manor was like being in prison. Didn't the host find it boring?
What Xiao Lan didn't know was that the former Shen Qingqing, in her own world, could stay indoors for dozens of days, relying on her family's resources.
I sleep when I'm hungry, sometimes for two days straight, which saves me the trouble of cooking.
For the past three months, Mu Jing has been with Shen Qingqing every single moment.
No matter where Shen Qingqing is hiding, Mu Jing is always by her side.
But farewells are inevitable.
[Host, you've been looking at this rabbit every day, have you figured it out yet?]
Shen Qingqing occasionally watches other things, such as anime, comics, and novels.
But the rabbit is the one I look at every day without fail.
[Get to the point.]
Perhaps she herself didn't know why, but just watching the daily episode update made her feel like she would have to watch it tomorrow too.
As long as it doesn't end, there's still a tiny, faint hope.
It's time to go.
The host's soul can only hold on until the last possible time. If it doesn't leave, it might end up like the previous instance.
While it's true that the male protagonist used a curse in the previous instance, the main reason was the influence of the world, which caused the host's consciousness to become unstable.
If this happens too often, the host will suffer a mental breakdown.
【I see. 】
Shen Qingqing turned off the iPad and placed the rabbit in her arms into Mu Jing's arms.
"Qingqing."
The boy's hands, which were holding the rabbit doll, gradually stiffened, and a throbbing pain shot through his heart, making him feel suffocated.
"Mu..."
The boy held the girl's hand, and the living room was very quiet.
The servants stood still, their movements halted.
"Goodbye."
The boy had a smile on his face, a very warm smile.
This was the first and last time Shen Qingqing saw this in this instance.
That laugh, I wonder how many days and nights he practiced it...
[Host, let's go.]
[Teleportation Initiated—]
[Ding-dong—Hidden quest progress 100%, completed.]
【! 】
At this moment, Shen Qingqing, who was usually too lazy to speak, wanted to say something, but in the end she only left two words.
"Goodbye."
The girl slowly closed her eyes, her breathing slowed, and her head rested on the boy's shoulder.
Mu Jing remained motionless on the sofa.
"Young Master, Miss..."
The boy still didn't react, just staring blankly as he held the hand.
After three months of companionship, Mu Jing kept the person by his side.
Three whole months.
The boy stroked the girl's fingers, a strange red light flashing in his dark eyes.
My love, I can't bear to part with you, I really can't bear to part with you.
Can we not leave?
Can you stay with me forever?
But he didn't want Qingqing to cry.
My love, don't be sad anymore...
I miss you.
Tears streamed from the boy's bloodshot eyes, and his pupils dilated.
A warm smile still lingered on her face.
