The unscrupulous system forced me to frantically test the small black room

Ignoring the debris, Gong Cheng rushed forward and knelt in front of Tao Zhi. He reached out and grabbed Tao Zhi's arm which was already stained with blood and was about to check his injury, but was pushed away by Tao Zhi who screamed.

"Get away, get away, you are all liars, don't touch me!"

Gong Cheng staggered back, then rushed forward and hugged Tao Zhi tightly in his arms. Tao Zhi cried and struggled and pushed away, but Gong Cheng hugged him tighter and pressed Tao Zhi's head into his chest. The man in his arms' shoulders shook violently.

"Sir, I'm Gong Cheng. Look at me. I'm Gong Cheng. What's wrong with you? What happened?"

Gong Cheng was extremely panicked. The gentleman was fine before he came into the room. Why did he suddenly become so hysterical and out of control?

Tao Zhi couldn't break free from Gong Cheng's arms and could only cry and wail in Gong Cheng's arms. Then he put his trembling hands around Gong Cheng's waist and buried his head deeper.

"Gong Cheng, what should I do? I don't know what to do."

"I don't have a mother anymore. I don't have a mother anymore."

Gong Cheng was puzzled when he heard this. Didn't Mr.'s mother die when he was very young? Why did Mr. suddenly collapse like this because of his mother's death?

"I thought she would wait for me to come back. I have been working very hard to complete the task. I still have half a year left. I can go home in half a year."

"But she doesn't want me anymore. She left me and I don't have a mother anymore."

"She loves me so much, why would she not want me?"

"It's only a matter of waiting for three more months. Dad will be able to make money in three months and everything will be fine. But she doesn't want anything."

Tao Zhi's fragmented and messy words were wrapped in crying voice. Gong Cheng couldn't hear it very clearly, but he roughly heard the content.

But these contents do not match Mr. Lu's family situation at all. Mr. Lu's mother died of illness when he was a child. Who is the mother Mr. Lu is talking about now?

What was the mission he was talking about? What was the half-year deadline?

I will be going back in half a year. Where should I go?

What on earth is he talking about?

Gong Cheng didn't understand what Tao Zhi said, but he was getting more and more scared. It was the fear of the unknown, as if there was something important that he could never grasp.

I had this feeling a long time ago. That year, when Gu Dongnan returned to China, my husband suddenly broke down after eating hot pot and said something that I couldn't understand.

And after that, many, many things were slowly changing, and the situation evolved beyond my control.

Finally it collapsed, and everything became irreversible.

Gong Cheng hugged Tao Zhi tighter, as if he was afraid that the person in his arms would disappear.

"Tell me what I should do, please?"

"My mother is dead, what should I do?"

"I don't want to leave here. I don't want to go home. I don't want to go back to a home without my mother."

"Aren't you the protagonist? Isn't the protagonist omnipotent? You can save me, right? Save me, Gong Cheng."

Tao Zhi grabbed Gong Cheng's collar absentmindedly, as if he was the only life-saving straw, and the blood from his palm dyed Gong Cheng's collar red.

"I don't want to wake up from this dream and lose the relatives and friends I stole."

"Even if it's a false dream or cold words, I want to stay here, I want to stay here forever."

"Gong Cheng, I don't want to leave you."

"But why do you have to be the protagonist, and I have to be the one who is destined to have a bad ending, Tao Zhi?"

"Please save me, Gong Cheng. I really, really don't want to lose this only chance of luck that I begged for."

After he finished speaking, Tao Zhi leaned his head weakly on Gong Cheng's chest, tears streaming down his face, and he looked extremely miserable.

Gong Cheng's mind was in a mess.

It's the word "protagonist" again. The gentleman mentioned it casually as a joke before, but what does he mean by "protagonist" now?

"What do you mean I'm the protagonist?"

"What are false dreams and cold words?"

"What do you mean...can't have a good ending?"

"You left me with so many questions that I was overwhelmed, but you were unwilling to tell me anything from the beginning, and just pushed me away again and again."

"If possible, can you tell me all these things I don't know? We can figure it out together."

"I will always be by your side. As long as you want me to, I will never leave, and no one can separate you from me."

"If you don't want to go home, we can buy a house anywhere you like so that no one can find us."

"It's just the two of us. We're not going back or going anywhere. We're just staying in our own home, okay?" Gong Cheng's voice was extremely gentle.

Tao Zhi bit his lower lip until it bled.

"It's useless. The ending is predetermined. You will be with Gu Dongnan eventually, and you will be happy. But I will die and go back to the home without your mother and you." Tao Zhi cried.

"I don't understand, I don't understand sir, can you tell me?"

"What do you mean by the ending? What do you mean I will be with Gu Dongnan, and what do you mean you will die?"

"Where is the home you are referring to?"

"I won't fall in love with Gu Dongnan. You are healthy and you won't die. I will stay here and won't go anywhere."

"I will never leave you, nor will I let you go where I can't find you."

"No one will force you to leave, and no one will separate us."

"What is the secret you have been hiding in your heart and don't want to tell me since the beginning?"

"What is the reason that makes you push me away again and again even though you clearly love me?"

"Please tell me, sir, please."

Gong Cheng's eyes were bloodshot, the corners of his eyes were wet and red, tears poured down uncontrollably, and he didn't care that his knee was pierced by broken glass.

Tao Zhi's chest was heaving violently, and his breathing was so rapid that he could hardly breathe, but at this moment he inexplicably calmed down.

It would be more accurate to say that he accepted his fate rather than being calm, and the starlight in his eyes shattered and turned into tears that fell down.

"Gong Cheng, I was wrong from the beginning."

"We were destined not to be together, but I coveted the protagonist's love in a despicable way. Until now, I still covet you in the name of the mission."

"The love in your eyes is so obvious, but I still have to play the role of a blind fool to deceive myself."

"I should have known that it was impossible for someone like me to be lucky enough to keep something that didn't belong to me."

"I really thought I could control the direction of everything, but I can't control myself from loving you."

"I screwed up everything, and it's because of me that things are like this today."

"I can't be so selfish as to sacrifice everything here to be with you for a short time."

"This place is so beautiful and everyone is so nice, how can they disappear because of me?"

"I will eventually complete the task as it says, and watch you live happily with someone else in the future."

Upon hearing this, Gong Cheng almost instinctively held Tao Zhi's face with his hands and randomly dropped broken kisses on Tao Zhi's face and lips, but he couldn't help but his lips trembling, and bitter tears wrapped in sobs spread between his lips and teeth.

Gong Cheng helplessly pressed his forehead against Tao Zhi's, tears streaming down his face. Neither of them was in a better state.

"How can there be a happy future without you!"

"Who is this thing that you are talking about that will force you to leave me?"

"Tell me, please tell me." Gong Cheng said in a crying voice.

There was pain and confusion in Tao Zhi's eyes, and he finally gritted his teeth and spoke.

The voice was trembling and broken, almost inaudible.

"System, Fanfan." he said.

As soon as he finished speaking, Tao Zhi's pupils constricted and his face turned pale.
