Chapter 366: Base 352 Invitation (1)

Shen Xue said, "What matters most when conducting oneself and handling affairs is a clear conscience. Since I have the audacity to use a poverty alleviation program as the title for my live stream, I’ve naturally made all the necessary preparations. I’m always open to everyone’s corrections and criticisms of my work~"

Her candid remarks, coupled with her honest and responsive attitude, greatly endeared her to viewers.

The previously nitpicking barrage of comments in the live chat began to change their tone.

Many attracted by the world announcement quickly became one with the regulars in the live stream, and upon seeing the host involved in poverty alleviation and charity, they generously started gifting.

Bamboo Leaf, Bamboo Shoot, Bamboo...

Although none were particularly expensive gifts, the total amount was not small when added up.

While everyone was deeply engaged in conversation with Shen Xue, Big Boss Lii’s account had already appeared in other live streams, starting a new round of lavish gifting.

Tonight, on Big Cat TV, sleep was not on the agenda.

Meanwhile, Yan Yueqing had already lain down on the soft, large bed.

The return of old memories did not bring back tenderness and sweetness; instead, it was like a hair-raising experience.

She looked at those memories as if watching flowers pass by on horseback.

Crystal clear!

Yet she could not empathize...

It was like watching a movie, hearing a story.

She could be moved to tears by this part of the story, but she couldn’t project it onto herself.

In the depths of her being, she felt the absence of a very important sensation...

She didn’t know how to get it back.

After pondering for a good while, she propped herself up from the bed, as if struck by a thought, "Tong Bao, I want to ask you something. If you’re willing to answer, then tell me the truth... okay?"

The system paused: This doesn’t bode well, is she targeting me?!

After a moment’s hesitation, it spoke up anyway, "Ask."

"That seed..." Yan Yueqing weighed her words, "The seed in my heart... it has something to do with Zihu... right?"

System: !!!

"Is it so that once it sprouts and blooms, I’ll remember all the things I’ve forgotten in the past?"

System: emmmm this question is beyond the syllabus!

The fact that the fragments of Su Zihu could return was a miracle within miracles, and even it never anticipated such a turn of events.

What comes next in the plot...

Is not something it can decide.

It truly doesn’t know the answer to this question...

The system remained silent for a long time without responding.

Yan Yueqing sighed faintly, as if she accepted the fact that it was unwilling to answer.

But the next second, the system spoke in a low voice.

"Host..."

"Hmm?!"

"I once said that the Host’s return was made possible by someone paying a tremendous price."

"I know."

The system interrupted, "The ’someone’ I mentioned does not refer to just one individual."

Yan Yueqing: !!!

System: "My existence is to help the Host return to this world and mend those unpleasant past events."

The unpleasant past events, and the heart-wrenching conclusion...

At the birth of the System, its original purpose was to help the once Su Zihu store memories, so he wouldn’t have his memories torn into fragments by the vast and mysterious power while shuttling through the flow of time.

But later, it seemed as if the Heavenly Dao was playing a joke on them.

The System gradually developed its own consciousness, and while fulfilling the arrangements of its master, it also contemplated the words and actions of its current Host.

In other words, it should have been a cold, hard tool for making money.

Yet, on the night that Su Zihu returned, it inexplicably felt a surge of emotion.

Afterward, even the System itself couldn’t distinguish whether it was merely a system or a consciousness bestowed with the ability to think and feel?

Could Su Zihu’s return really bring back so many outlandish and unexpected changes?

After a long silence, the System spoke, "In the world where I was born, the Host had a terrible end. Some people, in order to change the painful past, forcibly threw themselves into the flow of time, wanting to change everything..."

"However, what’s happening now feels both familiar and strange... Perhaps, apart from the Heavenly Dao, no one can explain whether this world is a parallel universe, or a fictitious existence. Maybe... what I and the Host are striving to do is nothing more than a story within a book, not real at all..."

"But Su Zihu’s Soul Fragment appeared, and it completely broke through the barriers between two worlds! My previous doubts were all wrong... Host, you exist in a real world, this world has you, has the person who created me..."

"Yet, this brings many doubts and puzzles. For example... the relationship between Su Zihu and the Host, if he is someone who traveled through another stream of time to love you, what does the original Jun Lii of this world count as then?"

"Between you... is it because of Su Zihu’s obsession that you came together, or were you attracted to each other inherently and brought together by fate? Host... I’ve pondered these questions many times... but I’ve never found the right answer..."

"So, regarding your question, I do not know how to answer. But one thing is certain, the seed in your heart is indeed a part of Su Zihu’s Soul Fragment. Whether its existence will affect your feelings with Jun Lii, or if it grows, what kind of fluctuations it will bring to you? All of it is an unknown..."

Yan Yueqing understood.

From the scattered memories and the System’s descriptions, she could glimpse the efforts of Su Zihu.

Even from the perspective of a bystander, she could clearly feel the intense love he had for her.

But whether Su Zihu and Jun Lii are the same person and how they influence each other...?

It was like a paradoxical issue that prevented her from delving deeper into contemplation.

With the System unable to provide answers, she didn’t know how to further investigate...

After a pause, Yan Yueqing finally brought up another question, "The person who created you is Xiao Wang, right...?"

She tried to make her tone as light as possible, as if it was just a casual mention.

Yet the tremble at the end of her sentence still revealed her nervousness.

The System fell silent.

Yan Yueqing waited a long while without a response. Just as she was about to give up, she heard its low voice.

"Yes."

One word, striking like thunder!

Tears suddenly fell from Yan Yueqing’s eyes, "So... so his ill health is because of this reason?!"

No wonder the child had been frail since birth, living in the hospital, yet the cause of illness could never be diagnosed.

After several years of such debilitation...

And then...

The last time Chu Fengteng and Elder Bai Shu took the child’s pulse, their meaningful discussion of "Vital Qi deficiency"...

Yan Yueqing had her suspicions, but she never thought it would all be true.

"It’s good to find the cause of the illness," she took a deep breath. "Is there any way to make Xiao Wang regain his health?"

Once again, the System lapsed into silence...

It felt as if it had just graduated from elementary school and was handed a college entrance exam to score a hundred percent on...

"Host... there is no answer to that question," the System responded after a long pondering. "However, the little master is very prudent; he would not sacrifice himself for another painful ending."

What he wanted was for everyone to live well.

If he died and caused his mother to be reborn, learning the truth would only make her live in unbearable pain!
