The Price of Rebirth [System]

The wound on Zhang Chongji's head deteriorated a little, as if he had been infected. After he came back, he had a high fever, sweated continuously, and kept shouting inaudible words unconsciously.

Yuan Ke sat on the edge of the bed holding his hand tightly with red eyes, and gently wiped the fine sweat off his forehead over and over again.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here, I'm here."

Looking at the pale and lifeless face lying on the hospital bed, Yuan Ke felt like a knife was piercing his heart, and even found it difficult to bring up the strength to speak.

"Bai Lingling, I will definitely...not let you go."

At the end, he finally couldn't help but clenched his other hand into a fist and slammed it on the side chair, the veins on his forehead were bulging, and when he raised his head, the eyes were full of cruelty.

Yuan Ke had never regretted it so much, it was as if the pain and self-blame flooded his heart like a raging tide, and he had nowhere to vent but felt that his whole heart was about to burst.

Looking at the wound on his body, it took Yuan Ke a long time to catch his breath and his almost uncontrollable mania, and continued to wipe off the dense cold sweat for him with trembling hands.

Even he who couldn't bear to lift a finger was hurt like this by a self-righteous woman.

Yuan Ke carefully lifted his palm close to his cheek, but the expression on his face became more and more gloomy.

Because of too much friction on the rough ground, Zhang Chongji's fingers and wrists had slight scratches and bright red marks, which made Yuan Ke feel extremely distressed.

With a sound of "creak—" the door of the ward was gently pushed open, but Yuan Ke was not too surprised. He didn't even pause in the delicate movement of wiping the sweat on his hands, but said indifferently without raising his head: "People Did you find it?"

The other party was silent and did not answer, Yuan Ke frowned and looked up, but what caught his eyes was the resolute cheek that he was familiar with all over again.

He opened his mouth, his eyes flickered a little, and then he frowned tightly.

"What are you doing."

The visitor pursed his thin lips tightly and did not answer his question. The stiff facial lines softened unexpectedly when they touched the murmuring person lying on the hospital bed.

Yuan Ke lowered his eyes, clenched his fists, and when the other party took a few steps forward to get closer to the person on the bed, he stood in front of the bed without hesitation.

"You are not welcome here, don't come here again." Yuan Ke squinted his eyes. The brotherly warmth that was hidden in his eyes in the past has long since disappeared. At this moment, those eyes are sharp and indifferent as if they were treating a strange man, "I don't care about you." What do you want to do this time, but you should be clear, now he belongs to me alone, and I should be the one who takes care of him."

"My dear big—brother—"

When the last word landed, Yuan Ke pursed his lips and looked at the man in front of him with a cold gaze.

Yuan Cheng seemed to rush over here in a hurry. Although he was wearing a gray suit, it was stained with stains that looked like sewage splashed by tires, like waves blooming on his suit and trousers. It was also tied crookedly, without the usual rigorous elite appearance.

Yuan Cheng just glanced at him indifferently, and then quickly turned his attention to the person he was thinking about on the hospital bed.

The person on the bed was wearing a blue hospital gown with horizontal stripes, his whole face was pale and lifeless, his forehead was covered with cold sweat, he looked haggard and distressed.

Yuan Cheng moved his Adam's apple, a flash of heartache flashed in his eyes, then he raised his eyes to look at the stubborn but familiar face in front of him, and said in an unsteady and irritable tone: "Get out of the way."

Yuan Ke didn't speak, but stood straight in front of him, with his hands spread out to protect the bed, watching him coldly without any wavering.

Yuan Cheng looked at him quietly, then smiled suddenly, his eyes behind the lenses were calm.

"Do you know why the time of the company's shareholder meeting is suddenly pending?"

Yuan Ke was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect Yuan Cheng to suddenly bring up another irrelevant matter, his eyes flickered but he still spoke.

"Because a new high-ranking shareholder has invested, why, why did the eldest brother suddenly become interested in the company's affairs?"

Yuan Ke looked at him mockingly, but the small arc of the other's lips made him frown indistinctly.

"That shareholder..."

"That's right, it's me." Yuan Cheng's glasses were a bit reflective, and Yuan Cheng couldn't see the real emotion in his eyes, "Whether it's the company group or him, I will snatch it right away."

He paused, and then said word by word.

"I will take everything that you have humbly given over to you, forced to give up, and deprived of in the past ten years or so."

Different from the gentle tone and attitude in the past, Yuan Cheng in front of him seemed to be a different person. While Yuan Ke frowned tightly, the uneasiness in his heart gradually expanded.

"Yuan Cheng, what do you mean?"

"Second brother, tell me," Yuan Cheng leaned closer to his ear, but the words he confided were in a tone without fluctuation, "If the marriage partner chosen by the Bai Group becomes the current heir, will it be more beneficial? "

"You!" Yuan Ke paused, narrowed his eyes, and looked at him with a frown, the sharpness in his eyes was like a beam of cold light, "You know that the person who kidnapped Wu Jing this time is..."

"I know." Yuan Cheng slightly hooked the corners of his lips, his cold glasses had no warmth left, and he looked at Yuan Ke with mocking eyes, "So you and Bai Lingling are a match made in heaven."

Yuan Ke looked at him, a flash of astonishment suddenly flashed in his eyes, and after smoothing everything out in his mind, his eyes widened slightly, watching the man in front of him move his lips before slowly uttering a few words.

"Yuan Cheng, you have changed."

It's not the big brother in the past, it's like a completely strange man, a love rival who doesn't care about feelings at all, which makes Yuan Ke inexplicably depressed and at a loss.

A year ago, he would never have imagined that the gentle man would become what he is now, truly indifferent and inhumane.

Yuan Ke couldn't help looking at the person lying on the hospital bed, and a sudden sadness welled up in his heart.

It was this person who changed him and himself, but what is even more frightening is that even knowing all this, he still acts like an addict.

Can't let go, all of this... It's like a doomed fate.

No matter who was standing opposite him, he couldn't let go, and he didn't dare to let go.

"Yuan Cheng," Yuan Ke didn't call those two affectionate names anymore, and looked at the other person's face, the corners of his lips curled up, "As long as you don't regret the challenge you declared to me, I will never lose."

"..."

Yuan Ke picked up his collar, squinted his eyes, and the corners of his lips looked like a cheetah ready to go. He looked into Yuan Cheng's eyes without evasion, and he paused every word.

"If you are not a brother, don't expect me to show mercy to you."

Zhang Chongji didn't know what was happening in the outside world. When he opened his eyes, he only felt that he was light and light, surrounded by a blank gray cloud, which seemed familiar.

With a dull pain in his head, Zhang Zhongji stroked his head subconsciously, and at the same time, the familiar yet unfamiliar mechanical laughter echoed in his mind.

"...the Lord God?"

It seemed that he opened his mouth to test uncertainly, but what responded to him was still that not-so-pleasant sound like glass scraping sand.

【Although you have accepted the mission, it seems that you are not doing well】

"...Isn't it thanks to you?"

As soon as Zhang Chongji's mocking words fell, there was a burst of joyful laughter.

[Long time no see, you have changed a lot, why, do you still want to be reborn until now]

"You want to talk nonsense to me today?"

【Today is an opportunity to repent】

"..." Zhang Chongji frowned, "What do you mean?"

【You, are you tempted】

Zhang Chongji was choked by the other party's affirmative tone, lowered his eyes, his eyes were covered by thick eyelashes, and he couldn't see the emotion in his eyes clearly, after a while, he only heard him sneer, hooked the corners of his lips, and said.

"so what?"

[If you regret it, you can choose to give up the mission, but you can't be reborn, and you will die, but I can restore their memory to the original, and everything can be as if it never happened]

Zhang Chongji was stunned for a moment, then laughed softly, his voice gradually increased from small to small, and finally he covered his stomach and laughed tears overflowing.

【why are you laughing】

"Nothing happened...then what have I paid for until now...for what?"

"Give your emotions, your body, and even struggle on the edge of a painful relationship. Do you want everything to disappear now?"

The voice of the Lord God suddenly fell silent, and Zhang Chongji did not urge him, but just let his body float in the air. He looked at the gray clouds above, and his nose suddenly turned sour.

【Have you ever loved someone】

The Lord God's abrupt voice sounded, different from the previous mechanical voice, Zhang Chongji was stunned for a moment by the deep and magnetic voice, unable to react.

【Love so madly, love so much that you can't extricate yourself, even for him you can become...ZZZZZZ】

Before he finished speaking, a sudden electrical whizzing interrupted his voice, which lasted for a few seconds and then suddenly fell silent.

"Lord God?"

Zhang Chong felt a little stunned.

【why are you laughing】

"..."

It was like rewinding the tape again, and the mechanical and cold voice was restored again, and even the sentences were exactly the same as the question just now.

Zhang Chongji moved his lips, he was choked up when he wanted to ask something, but he lowered his eyes: "It's nothing."

【Do you want to choose to give up】

"No," Zhang Chongji raised his head, with a sad smile on his lips, "If you give up, you will lose both sides of the relationship, so...why did I accept your mission in the first place."

Suddenly heard a low sigh, followed by a mechanical sound.

【You should wake up】

"Well--"

Before Zhang Chongji answered, he felt suddenly hazy and had to close his eyes weakly.

In the middle of the cloud, the man's body gradually dissipated like particles, and everything returned to nothingness and fell into silence.

【My lord, you almost exposed yourself just now】

Strangely, the mechanical sound rang out again, and the cold tone actually contained a little bit of helplessness, but this time the man who accepted the task was no longer there.

[Sorry, I can't bear to

The previous magnetic voice was a bit painful, like the voice of multiple people put together and the echo composed of electric current.

【I haven't seen him for a long time...】

【My lord, one wrong step will destroy the overall situation. In the future, you should not interfere with my work without authorization. If this happens again, your hard work for so long... will be in vain.】

What responded to him was a long and heavy sigh, which was exactly the same as what Zhang Chongji heard just now.

The faint cloud became thicker and thicker until it seemed to cover the voices of two people, and their voices became softer and farther away...

Have you ever loved someone, loved like crazy, couldn't help yourself, even for him you can become...
