Standing before the tombstone at the cemetery, Si Chen gazed at the smiling woman in the photo. But his eyes weren’t fixed on the face in the photo; they were fixed on the breathtakingly beautiful face from his memory.
Si Chen softly murmured to the photo, “Wait for me.”
It was a promise, a deep-seated obsession, as if this promise was etched into the depths of his soul.
In the distance, Old Five and the others watched Si Chen with worry.
“Do you think our boss might do something rash?” Old Five asked anxiously.
“Whether he can overcome the hurdle in his heart depends on himself.”
The others remained silent, watching Si Chen standing before the tombstone with concern.
Half an hour later, Si Chen left. His composure, far from reassuring everyone, only deepened their uneasiness, as if something was amiss.
However, from that day on, his behavior was normal—normal training, normal mission execution.
As time passed, everyone gradually calmed down.
However, among them, some grew old, some passed away, but he remained alone.
At first, some thought that Si Chen didn’t love Bei Yutang as much as they imagined, because he showed no sadness or pain. However, the long years revealed his true answer to everyone.
No sadness doesn’t mean no pain; living is like being dead.
***
As for Bei Yutang, after returning from the mission world, she knew nothing of what happened afterward, let alone that Si Chen was still alive.
[Congratulations, Host, you have successfully completed the mission. This mission was completed perfectly, earning a reward of 200 points. The Host now has 1,913 points at your disposal.]
[Host, continue your efforts and strive to reach 2,000 points as soon as possible to participate in the lottery.]
Looking at her points page, Bei Yutang knew that if she converted all her points into Soul Fusion Liquid, it would sustain her for twenty-three months in the real world. With just a little more effort, she could achieve her initial goal ahead of schedule.
Bei Yutang was starting to like the Rescue System. Earning points was incredibly fast, much faster than the Scum System, especially the side mission rewards, which were incredibly generous. Unfortunately, side missions were extremely rare.
Bei Yutang hoped the next world would also feature the Rescue System, allowing her to complete her goals as quickly as possible.
Bei Yutang opened her eyes. The sun was shining brightly outside, and she could vaguely hear Daixiang and Xiao Mo’er’s voices coming from the courtyard.
“Young Master, when will Sister Mu wake up?” Daixiang asked. She was very worried, seeing that her mistress hadn’t woken up for three days.
“It’s alright. Mother is just too tired and needs a few more days of sleep. She’ll wake up naturally when she’s had enough sleep.” Xiao Mo’er said calmly.
Daixiang was still uneasy: “Should we call a doctor to take a look?”
“No need.” Xiao Zimo refused.
The fewer people who know about this, the better; naturally, they couldn’t let outsiders come.
Seeing his disagreement, Daixiang didn’t say anything more and focused on her work.
She turned around, her eyes widening.
As if sensing her gaze, Xiao Zimo turned his head. Seeing Bei Yutang standing in the doorway, his eyes lit up, and a soft, sweet voice rang out, “Mother.”
Bei Yutang opened her arms and hugged the little guy tightly.
Xiao Zimo’s little head rubbed against her.
Bei Yutang affectionately stroked the little guy’s head.
Watching the mother and son so close, Daixiang’s lips unconsciously curved into a smile.
