Chapter 50: Realistic Gold Used to Bring Good Luck to Oneself (Fake Gold)
It's no wonder Yun Qing thought that way; the system was indeed suspicious.
When Yan Chen initially deviated from the plot, didn't it reassure her that it wouldn't affect the overall storyline?
Isn't that misleading her into thinking that the overall plot is very important and can't fall apart?
She later tried to correct the plot, but it never told her that she didn't need to.
The system replied somewhat guiltily, "This is my first time assisting the host with a task; I lack experience."
That's not entirely untrue.
It was indeed inexperienced and initially couldn't figure out the host's current sensitivity to emotions, so it could only proceed with caution.
Because it was afraid that the host would fall in love with Yan Chen too early and ruin everything by acting on her emotions, it used this method to make the host believe that the male and female leads had to be together, so that she would restrain her feelings from the beginning.
It's true that Yan Chen fell for the host a long time ago, and according to the host's character, they could have been together long ago. However, it can't guarantee that Yan Chen will be completely unaffected by the plot and won't waver at some point.
There is a risk of being erased. An unstable relationship is too dangerous for the host; one wrong move and it could lead to utter ruin.
It also hopes that the host and the male lead can have a sweet and loving relationship, but compared to that, the host's safety is the most important thing.
Its most important task in coming to the small world with its host is to ensure the host's safety.
So the male lead has to suffer a bit in love; after all, there's no sweetness until it's bitter!
However, it seems that the host is quite slow to react.
So it decided that in the next world... it would continue to deceive the host.
Even though she's a bit slow on the uptake, she still loves the male lead in the end!
Safety comes first!
Now it can't bear to see its host in such a predicament, and Yan Chen is determined enough. Moreover, if it doesn't stop it, either the host or Yan Chen will probably go crazy sooner or later.
That's why it decided to tell the host part of the truth.
Yun Qing sneered, indicating that she did not believe its nonsense; it was clearly doing it on purpose!
However, she didn't think the system wanted to harm her. She had an inexplicable trust in the system, which was one of the reasons why she was so easily tricked into coming to the small world to do tasks in the beginning.
Just as Yun Qing was about to interrogate the system to see if she could get it to reveal any more information, the door lock made a soft click.
Yun Qing instantly forgot about the system, and with a "whoosh," she pulled the blanket up, quickly covering herself completely inside.
She felt ashamed just thinking about how she had cried; she had lost! She had lost both face and her dignity!
It must be because of her tendency to cry easily that she's so weak-willed!
Yan Chen opened the door and came in. He walked to the bedside and pulled the blanket up. "Qingqing, get up."
Yun Qing huddled under the covers, pretending to be dead.
Yan Chen raised an eyebrow, leaned closer to her, and said in a consultative tone through the blanket, "If you don't want to get up, I'll sleep with you a little longer?"
Upon hearing this, Yun Qing suddenly sat up abruptly, instantly feeling as if her back was about to break. She glared at him with a look of grief and indignation.
You scoundrel! This is a blatant threat!
Yan Chen reached out and ruffled her frizzy head with satisfaction. "Good girl, it's bad for your health to skip breakfast."
Yun Qing shook her head, swaying his hand off her head, and muttered, "Excessive indulgence is even worse for your health."
"Hmm? Then I'll be more restrained next time."
Yun Qing: ...You call this restraint? You're already thinking about next time!
Yan Chen didn't bother to remind her who was whining and pestering him.
Seeing that she wasn't feeling well, I had her lie face down on the bed and massaged her lower back for a while.
Then they took the person to wash up and prepare breakfast.
During breakfast, Yun Qing seemed absent-minded, glancing at Yan Chen every now and then, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.
Yan Chen glanced at her and said, "Say what you want to say."
"Um... why did you find Yan Xiu's house so quickly?"
System: ...You're really stubborn, how dare you bring that up?
Yan Chen appeared quite calm and said, "I arranged bodyguards around you, originally just to protect your safety, but you seemed a bit off after you met Lu Miaomiao before, so I became more concerned after learning that you went to see Lu Miaomiao again this time."
Yun Qing: ...So you know how I was tricked by Lu Miaomiao into wanting to bring you down?
No wonder she arrived so quickly; it's likely that Yan Chen was also on his way to Yan Xiu's house when she was running there.
Yun Qing was silent for a while, then couldn't help but say, "You know what happened, and you can still forgive me? Aren't you afraid I'll do it again in the future..."
After all, this wasn't the first time she had acted inhumanely.
Although this time the reason seems quite valid, and one could even say that Yan Chen wronged her.
Yan Chen gave her a half-smile and asked, "Does your back not hurt anymore?"
Yun Qing: ...The breakfast tastes good, she should eat more and say less!
Just when Yun Qing thought the topic was over, Yan Chen took a sip of coffee, lowered his eyes, and said somewhat casually, "I admit it."
Yun Qing looked up at him with a hint of doubt, and then heard him say, "It's because my eyesight is bad."
Yun Qing: ...
"Lu Yunqing".
Yan Chen suddenly looked at her very seriously and said, "From now on, I will be careful to avoid any accidents, stay healthy, live a long life, work hard to make money, develop the Yan family business, and love you very much. I will not be unfaithful. In that case, will you be able to stay by my side peacefully?"
Yun Qing was stunned.
The first time she betrayed Yan Chen was because he had an accident and there was a high probability that he wouldn't wake up.
She later tried her best to win him back, not because she loved Yan Chen so much, but because he was the head of the Yan family and was rich and powerful.
This time, she turned to Yan Xiu because she thought Yan Chen didn't love her at all, and that he was only nice to her for the Lu family's sake and to get revenge on her. She also thought that he and Lu Miaomiao had gotten their marriage certificate and had a child.
He took all the factors into account.
Yun Qing felt as if her heart had been squeezed, a painful sensation washing over her. Her eyes welled up with tears, and she lowered her gaze, nodding to calm herself. After composing herself, she walked around the table, went to him, and hugged him, whispering:
"Sorry……"
She knew everything, but she still didn't understand why he was so persistent in liking her and wanting to keep her.
Perhaps their eyesight is just not very good.
Yan Chen pulled her into his arms, gently patting her back to comfort her, "You don't need to apologize."
I know why you left, I know why you came back, and I know you did love me.
He just didn't know if he could say those words, or if he would break any taboos.
Yan Chen's idea was simple: since Yun Qing was forced to leave, he would eliminate all the factors that would force her to leave and give her more reasons to stay.
If he puts in a little more effort, Yun Qing will naturally be able to relax a little and won't have to struggle so hard and make things difficult for herself.
Yun Qing was deeply moved when the system suddenly burst into loud sobs, startling her.
It cried while muttering and cursing, as if it was cursing something like a bald pheasant or a toad.
Yun Qing: ? ? ?
What's wrong with the system?
