The system said: [Yes, I'm curious, why is this? I couldn't find it out right away.]

Hearing this, Su Lingyu also started thinking.

There must be a reason behind the changes.

What is the reason?

Su Lingyu asked: […In the original plot line, the reason why Gu Yanying was sentenced to death by firing squad was because he killed his biological father and his second mother? ]

The system added: [And you, the host. ]

Su Lingyu: [……]

With a "bang", the teacup in Jiang Yufeng's hand fell to the ground, hot water spilled all over the floor, and a small piece of paint was knocked off the enamel teacup.

There were exclamations everywhere, and several people asked Jiang Yufeng if she was burned.

Seeing Su Lingyu also stand up and walk towards her, Jiang Yufeng immediately put away the expression on her face and waved at her: "It's okay, I'm not scalded, just mop up the water on the ground."

Jiang Xuancan stopped Su Lingyu and said, "I'll do it. I'll go get the nurse to get a mop."

He reacted very quickly, which showed that he worked hard at home.

In fact, Su Lingyu had no concept of "doing housework and taking care of people" in her mind. She was just worried about Jiang Yufeng. Seeing that Jiang Yufeng was fine, she sat back in her original position.

Huo Yan held her shoulders with his big hands, his eyes deep, and continued to act as her chair back.

Jiang Yufeng walked to the table in front of the window, picked up the kettle and made another cup of tea. Her hands holding the enamel cup trembled unconsciously, and her eyes were full of astonishment:

Will Gu Yanying kill Su Lingyu in the future?

If this was the case, she would understand why Su Lingyu was so dissatisfied with Gu Yanying at the beginning and was so prickly at her.

Who would be nice to someone who might kill him in the future? Unless he is a saint!

For a moment, her mood was very complicated.

She looked at Gu Yanying, but found that his expression was indifferent, as if he had known about this for a long time.

Su Lingyu asked the system again: [In the new destiny line, the reason why Gu Yanying lived ten years longer was because he dealt with us ten years later? ]

The system immediately beeped twice, and a second later said: [It really is! ]

Su Lingyu: […Buddha. ]

She had wanted to ask, since Gu Yanying was willing to save him, would she not kill her in the future? But... she couldn't escape her fate.

What's this feeling of being at once safe and fearful?

and many more!

She suddenly remembered something very important!

[Since Gu Yanying will kill me ten years later, does that mean I have to follow the plot line for another ten years before I can leave this world? ]

The system's baby voice was filled with shock: [Oh, yeah! Why didn't I think of that? We won't have to work overtime for ten years, will we? How much will the overtime pay be? I really want the merit points and the little cape! ]

As he was talking, the points became distorted.

Su Lingyu had a headache: […Is overtime pay important? Isn’t the important thing whether I can leave this world on time?]

The system said: [Yes, what the host said is right! ]

[Host, don't worry. I will file a report now to ask the main brain what's going on. If the plot line is really dragged out, how will the main brain handle it? ]

Su Lingyu: [Okay, let’s ask right away.]

Suddenly her arm felt warm, and it was Huo Yan holding her shoulder.

She looked up at him in surprise, and he was looking down at her. There was no extra expression on his face, but from his calm phoenix eyes...for some reason, she seemed to be able to read a hint of grievance.

She looked at him questioningly, but he remained silent.

……

Jiang Yufeng warmly invited her to dinner, but Su Lingyu declined.

Compared to eating with a group of strangers, she feels more comfortable eating at home. She likes to eat and will never compromise herself on such matters.

I don’t know why, but Jiang Xuanshen and Jiang Yuzhu looked at her strangely.

She seemed full of grievances, as if she was some kind of scumbag and they were the poor little ones abandoned by her...something was wrong!

As soon as Su Lingyu left, Jiang Yufeng took out some money and asked Jiang Xuancan and others to take other relatives to the state-owned restaurant to order food and make sure to entertain them well.

She packed two meals before coming back and ate them with Gu Yanying.

There was no one else in the ward, so Jiang Yufeng moved a stool and sat in front of the bed.

Gu Yanying raised her clear peach blossom eyes and looked at her. It was obvious that she had guessed what she would say. The usual gentle smile was gone in her eyes, only a faint one.

Jiang Yufeng didn't beat around the bush and asked directly: "I've never discussed this issue with you before. Today, I want to ask you, Yanying, what do you think? Gu Chengzhang is indeed a nobody, but you... you have to pay with your life for killing someone. You really shouldn't have chosen that path."

Gu Yanying looked calm: "As long as they don't provoke me anymore, I won't take the initiative to attack them. But if they continue to do evil, I can't guarantee what I will do."

"What about before that?" Jiang Yufeng asked, "They treated you badly before, did you... do something?"

Gu Yanying raised her eyes and looked at her: "Yes. Before, they planned to sell me to human traffickers. I found an opportunity to break the leg of Gu Chengzhang's precious son. It was a comminuted fracture. He will never be able to stand up again."

Jiang Yufeng had a complicated expression: "I remember you said that the child was only four or five years old."

Gu Yanying didn't say anything, but her eyes were full of rhetorical questions.

if not?

Should he still respect and honor those who harmed and humiliated him?

His gentleness faded away, and now his eyes were as cold as frost.

Jiang Yufeng did not make any comment on this, but just asked again: "What about Lingyu?"

Gu Yanying paused for a moment and chuckled.

Yes, he wanted to ask too.

She was obviously no longer herself and his fate had changed, so why was it that his killing of her was only delayed for ten years and would not happen again?

Is he really born a bad person, with no trace of humanity in his body or soul?

……

The night breeze is blowing.

On the way home, Su Lingyu leaned her elbows on the car window. The wind blew into the car from outside, blowing her thick black hair back.

Her almond-shaped eyes looked at the street scene outside, far away from Huo Yan.

Naturally, she did not notice the deep gaze that Huo Yan cast on her.

The atmosphere in the car was too quiet.

Suddenly, the system's little voice sounded: [Host, we have new merit points in our account! Zhang Quan, who caused the bombing, was executed. Because he died five years earlier than his original fate, the people who would have died in his hands during these five years were saved. 2 merit points are awarded! ]

[However, you have done so many good things, but no one in this world knows about it, and no one will reward you... Host, I think you are at a disadvantage! ]

Hearing the inner voice, Huo Yan's eyes flashed with a helpless smile: There will be no loss, the country has always been clear about rewards and punishments. It's just that there is no way to commend them openly. The higher-ups are racking their brains to find a reason, I don't know if they have found one.

But Su Lingyu didn't care, and asked: [Xiao Tongzi, if I insist on leaving in a few years, can I leave? ]

Huo Yan's eyes suddenly darkened and he clenched his hands on his knees.

Wang Yu, who was driving in front, saw Huo Yan's expression in the rearview mirror and dared not breathe.

The system said: [Ah, host, the main brain has replied to me! I will see now how the main brain will deal with it if the plot line is extended.]

Su Lingyu: [Okay.]
