TSFLIP Chapter 174

A week later, Ou Xun was discharged from the hospital. Because of that stunt he pulled, broadcasting himself across all the LED screens and phones in City A, the police invited him in for a chat. In the end, he earned a bit of redemption by helping capture several long-time fugitives.

With everything resolved, Fengguang walked out of the police station with him. “Are you sure you don’t want to become a police officer? I saw how much those officers wanted to keep you around.”

Ou Xun shook his head, still holding her hand.

“Wouldn’t it be nice to contribute to world peace?” Fengguang shuddered at her own words, realizing she was just joking.

“I’d rather be by your side every moment,” he replied. Being a police officer didn’t interest him, nor did he want to be separated from her for long. He kissed her forehead and whispered close to her cheek, “If you’re not here, I’ll make this world even more chaotic.”

So, kind-hearted you… for the sake of all those innocent people, you need to stay by my side.

Fengguang stared at him seriously. “Ou Xun, can you please stop saying such terrifying things in such a calm tone?”

Ou Xun blinked innocently.

Unable to deal with him, she laughed, hugging his arm. “Oh, by the way, did you hear? Yesterday, Guo Ming sent the wrong text. When he was in elementary school, he wrote a love letter to his deskmate, and now he sent that message to Summer by mistake! She’s furious. Be honest with me—was this your doing?”

A slight smile played at the corners of Ou Xun’s lips. He didn’t answer, just raised his hand to fix her hair.

That casual gesture made Fengguang’s heart melt. Sometimes, the smallest moments of intimacy were the most moving. She grabbed his hand—still wrapped in bandages—and felt a pang of sadness. She hugged him tightly. “Ou Xun, I never really planned to leave. Even when I said I wanted to break up that day, I was just angry. Going abroad was just to clear my head, and I’d already bought a return ticket for three days later. I wasn’t planning on staying away.”

Now that she thought about it, she regretted not trusting him more. Maybe it was fear—fear that she couldn’t compete with the heroine’s spotlight, or that the plot would eventually drag them back to its original course. In different worlds, she always prided herself on being the most rational player. But in the end, how could anyone stay completely rational after forming connections? That’s why, after every storyline, the system would forcibly erase her emotions.

The thought made her feel a sudden wave of sadness.

“Ou Xun, promise me you won’t hurt yourself again.”

“I’ll listen to you,” Ou Xun said, gently stroking her cheek. “As long as you stay with me.”

“Okay, I’ll stay with you.” Fengguang glanced around to make sure no one was watching, then stood on her tiptoes to kiss the corner of his lips. “Ou Xun, let’s get married…”

The moment she said that, he took her hand and started walking in a specific direction. She had to jog to keep up with him. “Wait, Ou Xun, where are you taking me?”

“The civil affairs office.”

Fengguang froze for a moment, then tugged on his hand. “I’m not even twenty yet! We’re not old enough to legally get married.”

Realizing this, Ou Xun stopped in his tracks, but his expression—those eyes—looked… disappointed?

Fengguang couldn’t help but think he looked utterly pitiful. She burst out laughing. “We can’t get married in real life, but we can always tie the knot in the game first.”
